Inviting ambiance in Ilford

“Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, highly recommended!”

“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.”

“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 Atmosphere. Nice people. The hair stylist was quite understanding. He suggested some nice lines as I have a receding hairline. The final look was something that I was not expecting. But, it looked nice. Would suggest going there. And I would certainly go there again.”

“Stairs to the loo! Otherwise lovely place, small but cute beer garden out the back. Pizza was really nice!”

“We had been meaning to try the food here for a while and so glad we did. Two bento boxes , one katsu chichen and the other balogi beef. The chicken was crispy and the sauce I thought was a bit thin but it was very good too. The balogi beef was very tender and tasty. Both boxes had vegetable rolls and goyza , some pickle and vegetables plus good sticky rice. Both boxes were a very good portion. We also had a salmon prawn katsu sushi special. Twelve pieces, nice and fresh with loads of pickled ginger , lettuce and endame beans. We were told a 40 minute wait but it was here in 20 minutes, beautifully packed in two bags , hot in one sushi in the other. Came with bamboo cutlery, soy sauce, wasabi and napkins and the related sauces. Loved everythong and will be ordering regularly no.”

“Northwest & Southern Indian fusion with Singaporean cuisine absolutely great, so many choices, and I loved the whole interior and vibe!”

“We ordered biryani for my son's birthday, and it tasted absolutely delicious. It was mildly spiced, making it perfect for kids. The tandoori chicken was tender and perfectly cooked.”

“Extremely disappointed with this place. I chose this place based on the good reviews, but everything arrived stone cold. The chips were stale and tasted as if they’d been fried in old oil. The shawarma wraps were also a huge let down, the sauces were so tangy and overpowering that they completely ruined the flavour. Honestly the worst shawarma I’ve ever had. I spent £41 and couldn’t enjoy any part of the meal. Definitely won’t be ordering again. Save your £ don't bother.”

“Staying a few doors down at a VRBO, and we've come here every morning of our stay for coffee. The specialty coffees are delicious, and the baristas are so nice! They also offer a variety of breakfast pastries that our kids loved. We haven't tried their actual breakfast items as we aren't morning eaters, but they also look delicious! Thank you Artful Blend for making our stay a little brighter!”

“I had an amazing experience at FG Barbers. From the haircut to the beard trim and the hot towel service, everything was top-notch. The attention to detail was incredible, and you can tell they take real pride in their craft. My haircut was clean and sharp, my beard was perfectly shaped, and the hot towel treatment was the perfect finishing touch—relaxing and refreshing. If you’re looking for a barber who knows what they’re doing and delivers excellent service every time, FG Barbers is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“I ordered Nihari and Naan which was amazingly tasty. Quantity was sufficient for two people and stomach filling as well. Naan was fresh and hot. Service is very fast. Non veg here is halaal. The restaurant is very spacious and has good seating capacity. The staff is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. I will definitely visit again.”

“Amazing place with some of the best shawarmas and burgers around. The flavors were incredible, portions were generous, and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Friendly staff, fast service, and a great overall experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Fabulous live music at the Gardener's cottage on Sunday 12pm - 4pm in summer. Why I'm I just hearing about this? Lovely music by Redbridge Music Lounge, great acts worth seeing”

“Proper boozer with great guest beers! This is a real locals pub”

“Food was really nice, salad, houmous, mix kebab (the chicken especially) and salmon with veg. Service was really great as well. Healthy and well priced. Highly recommend!”

“Been going to cafe for at least the last 10 years. It's best around. Great food. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. They always try and find you a seat even when they are crazy busy. It's not your average greasy spoon It's way better than that. And a 100% veggie and vegan friendly”

“This charming cafe, nestled within the park, offers a delightful halal breakfast. I have had the pleasure of visiting on several occasions and have consistently been impressed. The staff are highly attentive and unfailingly provide excellent service. It is quickly becoming my preferred spot for breakfast.”

“Had such a wonderful time here today, it was our first time. We enjoyed the Sunday buffet. We had our kids with us too and they loved the pasta. Food was delicious, they had live music playing and the overall atmosphere was great. Incredible value too thanks again we'll be back! X”

“Mehmet the manager is amazing. Such a kind, honest and generous man who took time out today and restored my confidence in humanity. Thank you”

“Very good Quality and service. Food very very tasty. Dosha must try. Highly recommend”

“Great food and great service. The new decor is amazing and inviting. The mixed sheesh grill platter was cooked to perfection. And would also suggest the calamari. Will definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely top customer service provided by “Elena” she was very professional, friendly and extremely welcoming. I recieved my cheese and tomato toastie, which was cooked to perfection and Vanilla Latte extra was on point too. Highly recommended”

“Food and service have improved from before,the new owners have done a good job, the food was delicious . Lovepreet k provided service with a smile. Jeeara chicken and paneer for a starter, bombay potatoes,lamb, and vegetable kofta in spinach for mains with naans and roti. The food was fresh, and the portions were a good size.”

“I had my first set of hair extensions done at Glo Hair and Beauty, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but I was made to feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in. My stylist, Suzanna, was amazing, knowledgeable, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. She helped me choose the right type and colour to blend with my natural hair, and the result is stunning. I can’t thank her enough! My hair is fuller, longer, and looks completely natural and I’ve already had so many compliments. If you’re thinking about getting hair extensions, Glo hair and Beauty is 100% the place to go. I’m beyond happy!”

“We booked a private dining area on the lower ground floor for an intimate graduation celebration and the service and food was outstanding! We ordered a few tawa grills which was absolutely delicious 10/10 and some biriyanis. The grills were cooked to perfection, tender and flavourful and the lamb chops was the best. With all honesty, the food was the best Pakistani food we’ve had at a restaurant. The private dining area is beautiful itself and perfect for private functions. All the staff including manager Sarwar and the waitresses provided the best service. Thank you for a memorable evening.”

“We went there around 6 pm weekday. We were first to go , all the items were fresh and hot. Chicken tikka, sheekh kebab , fish fry , chicken wings , haleem were hot , spicy , fresh, no bad smell at all. Nalli Nihari was good, lamb karahi was more like Bengali curry but the taste was superb. Chicken biryani was also awesome with some excellent flavours. My family with kids thoroughly enjoyed this delicious food. Compare to Royal nawab , items are less but I can vouch for the taste which is better than Royal nawab. Adult 18 pounds , kids under 10 is 9 pounds.”

“This employee is being so helpful with my coffee choices! I come to London with love I find familia love with this location and an Omlette!”

“Great English breakfast , reasonably priced , very friendly, good service. Owners charming”
