Food in Ilford

“Our Pakistani friend took us to Haweli restaurant in Ilford for dinner. We had lamb and chicken curry, lamb biryani, various kebabs, it was delicious, and our first time having Pakistani food, we all loved it. Sumbul provided excellent service. She was very polite and hospitable.”

“Very good service from Sadia. She is very hardworking and helpful., despite the shop being very busy, she has been very calm and very professional. Keep up the good work. Relaxing atmosphere to eat and drink. I am not too happy that she is working on her own and the shop has been very busy, hence waited a bit to be served and get my food. Extra support is needed in the shop for health & safety reasons etc”

“Thank you for arranging last minute emergency appointment. My rabbit injured her leg on 26/06 and my worst fear was that it’s a fracture. The vet did an amazing job, she checked her twice and said that she just pulled her muscle. They prescribed pain relief medication. She’s doing well now, jumping, running around and using her leg in full. Thank you so much.”

“Adana never disappoints! The staff are absolutely amazing—welcoming, friendly, and always make you feel like a valued customer. I ordered the grilled chicken, wings, and calamari, and every single item was incredible. The chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the wings were juicy with just the right amount of spice, and the calamari was tender and delicious. You can really taste the quality and care they put into their food.”

“Lovely little wine bar and restaurant. Great service and atmosphere provided by very personable staff. They have an amazing selection of wines. A refreshing vibe to the area, where you can really relax and enjoy your drink. Will definately be going back.”

“I'm from Brazil and I met this place today, a cosy and warm CAFE , excellent service, polite, kind and attentive employees, breakfast has incredible varieties and flavours, thank you guys , I will be back !”

“Good sports bar with several large screens, pool table, and very close yo station.”

“Wonderful service the staff were very polite and understood exactly what i wanted the meat was really fresh and they had a wide range of spices. Would recommend to anyone and i will be using this shop more often considering its not local to me”

“The food here was absolutely top notch everything was full of flavour. My favourite was the Lahmacun & Adana Kofte soft, juicy and meaty just the way it should be. The Lahmacun was thin and filled with toppings. Everything here was really enjoyable and it’s the perfect spot if you need a Turkish and wanna go with the family.”

“Chicken wrap and fries are too tasty and juicy chicken with mango lassi”

“Absolutely authentic dishes. Whatever I ordereded was top notch. Ordered kulcha, kadhi chawal abd halwa poori. Everything was spot on 10/10. True indian taste.”

“There starters are awesome. Special mention to the Appam very tasty with nice chewy consistency which I love it. I had ur food on one birthday party. Outstanding.”

“Great cafe been in barkingside high street for decades. Same family same lovely welcome. Loads of locals us it. Food very good and reasonable price. WELL WORTH A VISIT SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAFE!!”

“Local coffe hosue. Nice coffe, nice cakes. Clean place. Nice to have a quick coffee and relax . Friendly staff.”

“Perfect Italian pizza reviews dont do justice to the taste”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a great experience at Sahara Grill and wanted to give special mention to Abdur Rahman, who served us. He was very professional and, for a trainee, did an excellent job. He was attentive in a calm, subtle way, checking in on us during the meal and making sure we were comfortable without interrupting the experience. Little thoughtful touches showed his awareness and good service, which really helped us feel relaxed. Food-wise, everything was enjoyable, but the Angus short rib was a standout – absolutely a hit and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a very positive experience. Credit to Abdur Rahman and the team.”

“Nice colourful restaurant, staff friendly polite and quick service. Crispy broccoli and aubergine very nice..would like to try crispy chicken next time...huge spring roll. £45 for two people. Had 5 dishes.”

“VERY sad to say that The Golden Curry is closing on 1st Sept after 58 yrs (they opened in 1966). Lovely food, place and staff. It will be sorely missed.”

“Fast online ordering process and collection, makes locating what I need convenient. Delivery is reliable too. Parking can be a bit of problem. But easy to walk around from B&W car park if full. The staff are effecient and polite. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this branch.”

“Best fresh Halal meat , very good and clean and good prices”

“The Turkish lachumun is banging - they have a hidden meat section I don't think alot of people know - fresh bakery at the back - my local Turkish convenience shop”

“great shop, has huge selection of products and extremely friendly and helpful staff”

“Been going there for years now. It always has things I like buying. Good and usually affordable fruit and vegetables. It even has Polish Kefir and a great choice of non-alcoholic drinks and crisps. It also has some teas and other essentials if that's what you need. Very convenient convenience store/corner shop.”

“Murad was amazing!!! He worked the whole floor by himself and still made us feel comfortable and looked after. He was took our order with a smile and explained any questions we had about the menu. All in all fantastic experience and food made extra special by Murad. Thank u Murad xx”

“I came in today and bought 4 sacks of cat litter. Sam who served me was extremely helpful and carried the bags to my car. I really appreciate this as im.sure it's not part of Sam's job. Thank you Sam. Yiu are a great asset to Pets at Home”

“I av been going there since they are open. 1 of the most underrated restaurants in the Ilford area. Never got disappointed with the food. Spicy nan topnotch as usual... very reasonable price... all the staff are very nice and friendly...”

“Had a great experience at Hyderabad wala Ilford. Amazing taste and many thanks to the chef who made our sister’s birthday very special. Highly recommend.”

“Oops! It was so delicious that we couldn't wait! When hunger thrives, go for OoOdles!”

“This is a great plase to dine out. We, as a family have been eating at Birashwamys for over thirty years when my father came across it one day. The restaurant is very cosy and the gorgeous aroma coming from the kitchen makes you feel hungry the minute you walk through the door. There's a great choice of delicious dishes on offer that tastes different to other Indian restaurants I have visited. We no longer live close Birashwamys but we make it point to drive down regularly. The food tastes just as delicious today as it has did thirty years ago. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are really friendly. Nice clean toilets. Good background music. Overall the place has a good feel about it. Well worth a try. You never know. This may become your favourite restaurant. Get Outlook for Android”

“Probably the BEST experience I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Cannot fault their service at all- exemplary! From placing the order (where Fatima told us to order through the QR code so as to get the discount on the burgers), to receoving the food for 11, took about 15 minutes. Everything arrived piping hot and we all tucked in. Unfortunately, a mishap happened where a sauce bottle landed on and broke a glass whilst mid eating and fell on majority of the food on the table. Fatima and the manager (a young gentleman) could not do ENOUGH to rectify everything - taking away the affected food, cleaning the table and surrounding areas and replacing all the food within a few minutes. Honestly, I wish all food places were this fantastic. They behaved fantastically with my SEN nephew, even giving permission for him to perform his ritual of going around the kitchen etc before he left. All the food was exceptionally priced also. Fantastic job well done!!”
