The 30 Best Meat in Ilford

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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! Very friendly shop owner and super helpful too!”

“The chain is known for budget‑friendly prices, value deals and promotions. Many shoppers feel they get more for their money here compared with larger mainstream supermarkets, especially on frozen meals and bulk buys.”

“This is my go-to place for groceries - the best in town.Their staff is not only friendly but also highly skilled. Highly recommended!”

“Very impressed with their food and portions. I ordered the mixed doner with chips. Their salad was nice and fresh. The meat and chicken was flavoursome and the portion size was very generous. The triple cheese burger was also really nice and great size. Highly recommend.”

“This is one of my favourite shops in which I find everything I want to buy, especially items that are hard to find in other shops. If you are looking for Mediterranean products, then this is the one to go to. I love their freshly baked Turkish bread and other pastries.”

“Great service, food, and staff. Very clean, inexpensive food - delicious generous portions. Thank you!”

“Great prices if you haven't got alot of money”

“I have always found the staff extremely polite and helpful. Good choice of brands and product. I have used this shop for decades and always came back happy and satisfied with the price. It will be nice to have big trollies though! Keep up with the services S S Market. Thank you”

“The pepperoni pizza was extremely delicious and huge thank you to the employees at Stone Baked for the excellent hospitality upon collection. I would definitely recommend Stone Baked to friends and family!”

“It's a big store and very well kept. Very close to the train station ( Ilford station)”

“The first Romanian shop I've found that has minced meat rolls/ kebab/ mici/ mititei, freshly made by their own brand. Amazing selection of food and drinks from Romania and Eastern Europe. Totally recommend. Wonderful and super helpful personnel.”

“Amazing and very hospitable little shop, has everything you need, from the American sweets to the Turkish Ayran. Extremely friendly staff that are attentive and hospitable.”

“Surprisingly awesome experience! Didn’t expect this to become our local favourite but we went as a big group and all enjoyed it very much. The waiter was amazing, very attentive and polite, food was exceptional quality and décor lovely. Thank you guys very making our night so nice.”

“Was in the Ilford area running errands and spotted this restaurant just off Cranbrook Road. Decided to pop in for a feed as I’m huge fan of Mediterranean food but hadn’t tried Albanian cuisine before. I ordered the Beef Hot Pot with a side of olives. The hot pot arrived absolutely sizzling, so presentation was on-point. Wonderfully warm and soft bread rolls also came with the dish, which acted as the perfect accompaniment to the sensational sauce of the hot pot (tart, cheesy and lush - how I imagine an Albanian mum would make for her kids on a cool night). The olives were well-seasoned and the restaurant also has a range of Albanian drinks. Tried Bravo Strawberry which tasted like pure strawberry juice in a can. Nice option to wash down the feed. This place was a great intro into Albanian cuisine and I’d go out of my way to visit Tirana again when the mood strikes. 10/10 recommend.”

“Bella coffee  always has the perfect atmosphere and ambience.Great place for cofee lovers ,sweet liquors,they serve also cakes and sandwiches .I love that they got outdoor tables for smokers and inside got sockets for phones and laptops, like to hang out everyday and the staff members are quite polite and serve at the table”

“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”

“Great food, nice atmosphere. Real quality shisha and the staff were very nice. Food portins are good,filling, and large. Had the nachos, chilli cheese fries and a pizza which ended up being too much in terms of our expectations of portion size but it was tasty and we got to go boxes. The shisha was very well presented and high quality. Tasted great and went down nicely with the drinks. £95 for 2 shisha, 4 cocktails, Chill Cheese fries, cheese nachos and a 15" pizza split in 2 was the spend. Will return.”

“I had previously ordered cholula chicken sizzler pizza which was really well made and 5-star for taste. Speed of service is always great as they make the pizza ready on time. Taha helped me to build my own pizza and which I believe really helpful for customers who are confused.”

“This is a great expense, one that could be tried by anyone. There are some great choices available for starters, soups or mains and desserts, this place truly has something for everyone. From the outside it looks like a hotel lobby restaurant or something you'd find in central London. Inside is a nice looking banquet hall. The food is delicious and consistent, I've had 3 courses that I was equally pleased and impressed by. My favourite was ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup), although the sarmale (stuffed cabbage) was also really tasty. Don't forget about papanași (doughnuts?). 9/10 would go again, thoroughly recommended.”

“We had a wonderful experience during our visit. Teja was our server and she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Nayeem, the chef, prepared a fantastic döner kebab – perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of care and skill goes into the food here. Overall, great service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“I have been eating from here for at least 20 years. Food and staff are both excellent. Never disappoints!”

“Best falafel wraps I have had for awhile. Very filling, thin wrap and just right and the fresh filling ingredients. 5* Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you keep the mission going.”
