Experience in Barking

“It was my first time dining at Restaurant Albina, I loved how authentic the restaurant was inside and how cosy it felt. I was greeted by the waitress who was very friendly and helped me with the menu as I couldn’t decide from all the tasty options! I ended up having the chicken/pasta soup with a warm bread bun. The soup was delicious, a clear broth with lots of flavour - and I loved how light but filling it was. The bun was the perfect add on. For dessert I had the cherry dumplings - I will definitely be coming back for those! Overall I had a really great meal, the food and atmosphere is very comforting and gives a lovely family/friendly vibe. Thank you Albina for a wonderful meal! I will definitely be returning!”

“I’m from Tanzania but loved the authentic African ambiance. Felt right at home. The food was delicious and the service from uncle and auntie was homely. There was a group of people next to us and I loved their energy. Afrobeats was playing in the background ✨ had a lovely time!”

“I recently visited and was absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor and a cozy vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food? Simply divine! Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Amazing traditional Pakistani food. The service is excellent, the owner (We know him as uncle) has the best hospitality and manners. When uncles not there, his boys, Muazzam, Mukarram and Azam make sure the guests are looked after. 10 out of 10 for me!!”

“One of the BestTurkish kebabs I have eaten the guy named Osman is really helpful and really honest man if you live in East time don't go anywhere else come here”

“From the receptionist taken of order to the delivery of the meals in relatively hot conditions considering the distance travelled were first class services. The shredded chicken chow mein,the BBQ spare, and the king prawn fried rice were full of aroma and tasted so delicious. This restaurant is our newfound first to ring when it comes to the Chinese restaurant option. I must say that the delivery person was such a lovely aged man, full of friendly face patient,energetic,and a gentle voice. Respect. Thanks to the chef. Keep the cooking arts vibrant.”

“It is the best GDK branch I’ve ever been to. Very professional and polite staff especially Ambreen who took my order, she is very kind and knows how to deal with customers. Food was well cooked as well.”

“Honestly the best cafe in London! Star quality food, the chef is simply amazing! The staff here are truly the best, every time I come here with my family they always make me feel so welcome I can’t recommend enough.”

“Really impressed with the service! They offered a great price and carried out the work, fixing our bumper and door, removing dents and scratches to a very high standard. The finish was excellent, and I’ll definitely be returning if I need anything in future.”

“What amazing service! Virdee himself came amd checked the car, gave me advice and told me better not to repair as its not worth it. Thank you Virdee, definitely reccomended, very honest.”

“I went to Nick's when I used live in East Ham in 2015. Now I live in Barkingside but I and my son still go there as I haven't been able to find a better one around my area. I tried others but it never worked out. Nick's was introduced to me by a close relative who has been going there for decades. My son had his first haircut there at the age of 2, absolutely no issue. He and his cousins always loves a visit to the Nick's. Great service and good value for money.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Hairelite! Michelle did an absolutely fantastic job with my hair, she's incredibly skilled, professional, and truly passionate about what she does. I felt completely at ease in her hands and walked out feeling amazing. Highly recommend her and the entire team at Hairelite! Maria”

“absolutely amazing atmosphere is great and when I bring my son in I come out with him looking like a king I highly recommend this place”

He did an amazing job understanding exactly what I wanted, and I left with a haircut that I absolutely love. The salon itself was clean and had a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great haircut!”

“I have been coming to first class gents hair salon over 6 years. Hasan is an excellent professional barber and gives all the time you need to make sure your hair style suits you. I did go different barber shop to try the difference and from my experience they are the best hair dresser out in barking and surrounding with top quality hygiene and top notch machines. Attention to detail is immaculate.”

“Had a great time watching Rapunzel. Both the cast and the pantomime were very entertaining and engaging too. The theatre was also clean and easily accessible. Will be looking out for future events!”

“People say that you never have to work a day in your life if you love what you do. That is the same for studying. It becomes fascinating and thought-provoking when you are interested in the subject. You can form study groups that end up being a lot of fun. I explored and found an academic area that get me excite. I did it! I achieved it! It was one of my best time in my life! A really good college, which has helped me a lot in achiving and learning new skills. The teachers are very nice and always keen to help and they push you and guide you towards your dreams. A big thank you to all of them.”

“Great restaurant serving South-East Asian cuisine - predominantly Vietnamese, but also some Thai options, Singaporean, and others. Really satisfying, homely meals. Good service and extensive menu. I would love to visit again. This restaurant earns an extra star from me as the portion-sizes are quite substantial.”

“Great Brazilian bar with delicious caipirinhas and Brazilian snacks and dishes and music that takes me back to my time in Brazil. Staff are always very friendly and my hubbie got a cute surprise birthday cake last time we went. /would recommend”

“Just had lunch and wow — the food was so good! The mix grill was perfectly cooked, super juicy, and full of flavor. You could tell it was fresh off the grill with that perfect smoky taste. The Charsi Chicken Karahi was another standout — spicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce was so delicious that we couldn’t resist dipping the naan into every last bit. The service was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back— highly recommended!”

“I ordered a Dourada that almost made me cry. I can not wait to go back again. UPDATE. Lamb smells to urine, and portions don't look so big as before, when I ordered meat.”

“I visited many times … never feel unloved and unlucky.. very honest services they gave me always.”

“We stumbled into this restaurant on a walk. Tourist stuff ya know. And we were blown away with how good the food was! The service was superb and quick too. If you're looking for a new place to try look no further :)”

“A short walk from Canning Town station, the staff were friendly, the food options were great, and the coffee was excellent. We had a mix-&-match salad, scrambled eggs, and eggs benedict. We also shared a dessert, and each got coffees. Well priced, nice decor, and good food”

“The food is so good that it reminded me of my homeland. I ordered creamy chicken and it was something else, and it comes with bread and butter. The butter is another story, it was the one that reminded me of my homeland. The final one, the desert that we ordered, Trilige, was soft and juicy, incredible!”

“Parked my car at KiwkFit and this was the best cafe to eat at. Overall it was great, service was amazing. I asked for no beans and mushrooms, the owner decided to give me extra hash brown and bacon which was really nice of her.”

“£5 for three filling omelette with chips and beans is a good price. Swift nice service and overall good place for good meal, for not so London's price. Definitely recommended to visit and try.”

“There are pubs and then there's this chain of beautiful east london pubs, the Boleyn Tavern and the Leyton Engineer plus others I wish to find. All the decor has been reconditioned to the style of its original condition more than a hundred years ago.”
