The 20 Best Lunch and dinner options in Barking

“I recently tried APR Chicken Pizza, and I was blown away by both the pizza and the chicken! The pizza was perfectly cooked — crispy crust, generous toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. Every bite was full of flavor. But what really surprised me was their chicken — so juicy, crispy, and full of seasoning. It’s hard to find a place that nails both pizza and chicken, but APR does it effortlessly. The staff was friendly and service was quick. You can tell they care about quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving amazing pizza and mouthwatering chicken. Will definitely be coming back!”

“A real taste of the Swahili Coast in East London. Perfectly grilled mishkaki (skewered meats). Prices are reasonable given the quality. Overall, this Halal food restaurant is a must visit for adventurous food lovers or anyone craving an authentic experience.”

“It was a delight to eat at Alex's Place. We loved every bit of it and the staff were so warm and welcoming. The food was GREAT and so much that my spouse and I could not finish it so we took it home. We ordered a platter and we tried a couple of other dishes on the menu. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!”

“Fresh food. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. Great variety of food. Just what I needed.”

“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!”

“£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.”

“Great friendly service from staff food is lovely. Very clean including the toilets I have never seen toilets so clean in a cafe . Thank you guys x”

“Another great meal at the Galleon Cafe. It’s was so much food I had to climb over it. Delicious”

“If you are craving a Turkish takeaway, trust me when I say, Efes is the place to order and nowhere else! You can trust this place for quality with your eyes closed. I have been ordering for years and it is consistently great. I am never disappointed. I ordered my favourite lamb ribs, you get 7 chunky pieces, they were fresh, meaty, well seasoned and cooked perfectly on the grill. Served with delicious Turkish rice done as it should be, the most delicious homemade chilli sauce which I love so much ( I must say my only complaint is that they don’t give enough of it, its too small for the meal). You also get a grilled pepper and tomato, garlic sauce, lovely bread and salad. The portion is generous and served piping hot. I just love Efes. When you think Turkish food think Efes ❤️”

“Delicious authentic Turkish food, excellent customer service and very generous with the portion size. Great value for money will come again Insha'Allah”

“This is call Whitechapel Fried Chicken, former kf chicken, former Greggs Plaistow. Very good food and people. Their chilli sos is another level.”

“A brilliant little cafe in Dagenham down an industrial estate that serves some incredible food (CASH ONLY before I forget). I had the double cheeseburger and chips and it cost 6 quid..... yeah you read that right £6, it is absolutely on point too the chips aren't floppy, soggy, under done, crispy, burnt, they're the most perfect chips I have come across and the burger meat isn't hard or rough, nit even burnt round the edges, a nice juicy soft mouthwatering burger. The portion size well just look at it, for £6 it's the price of a McDonald's meal, I know which till I'd rarther put my money into. Staff are friendly, it was a relaxed laid back place when I went which was this morning at about 9am (Friday) if it doesn't say for future viewers of this review. My colleague had the breakfast too, set 5 if I remember correctly, I didn't get a photo but it was the size of the breakfast other reviewers have posted so that hasn't changed either”

“I am thier regular customer. Food quality is above average. I like that the place is cheap and quality is still visible.”

“This must be the cleanest Travelodge I've ever stayed in. The room was immaculate. All the staff I encountered were helpful and friendly. A special mention to Martina for her warm and friendly welcome at Reception after my long journey: her patience and kindness were really appreciated. I will definitely be recommending & staying here again”

“i come to speedy noodle with my friends very frequently, and this is easily one of my favourite chinese restaurants. the portion sizes are massive for such a low price, the food has never disappointed and there is such a massive selection to choose from. yes, maybe it is empty sometimes but this isn’t a reflection of the food! the staff are always kind but not overbearing or interrupting, they have never been rude or dismissive toward me in over 5 years of coming here. one of my favourite spots that i will recommend to anyone who will listen!”

“Everything we tried on the menu was fabulous. One of the rare times you taste a dish that really makes you say "WOW!!!"”

“All of their foods were very tasty, authentic and pure Bangladeshi taste.”

“Absolutely delicious! Crispy crust, flavorful toppings. I'll definitely be back for more. Got Delivered in time.”
