Outdoor seating in Barking

“A full English in East London for a tenner in 2024?! Someone pinch me! What a delicious hidden gem in East Ham! Why it was empty at 9:30am is beyond belief, but hey, no complaints from me. Coffee (delicious, I must say) and toast included as well. There's gotta be a catch somewhere, right? I've been back a few times since discovering this place, and the owners have been incredibly polite, with the food spot-on every time. Thank you, Pop-In Cafe!”

“I’ve had such a great experience with Mimi at Momento . She’s always professional, approachable, and goes above and beyond to help. Whether it’s handling renewals, answering questions, or resolving issues quickly, she’s consistently efficient and friendly. Communication with her is always clear and timely, and she genuinely cares about residents and making the process smooth. It’s been a pleasure dealing with her she’s an absolute asset to the team!”

“So good, i took the brunch set for £9.50 (there are even cheaper options) and i was full, the food was tasty i recommend you this place and the lady was really nice :))”

““Fantastic lunch spot! The food portions were generous, flavours spot-on, and the shisha was smooth and well-prepared. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back.” I really love it”

“Emily walks our doggies Maisy and Ollie every week and she recently looked after them for two weeks when we were in Mexico. We could not be happier with Emily, she is punctual and takes fantastic care of Maisy and Ollie.They absolutely love her. She sent us comprehensive daily updates when we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she absolutely loves the dogs in her care.”

“I don’t know how this place doesn’t have more reviews because this place is amazing. They have amazing service very kind and welcoming. I travel from the US and I probably would say this is the best service I’ve ever received and I eat out a lot. I recommend the biryani and their Peri Peri chicken is so good. I promise you will not be disappointed. This will be one of my go to places going forward God willing.”

“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.”

“You know that moment when you walk into an Italian Bengali restaurant and your brain hesitates? Like… is this going to be another chaotic, Bangla-fusion-gone-wrong, 47-page menu, customer-service-optional situation? Or just maybe a proper Italian spot that makes you think, “Hey hey hey… we might have something here.” Well, I’m glad to report: this place is firmly in the hey hey hey category. The lasagne and the carbonara (halal, of course) absolutely slapped. One bite and I was instantly transported back to my backpacking days in Milan and Rome minus the hostel bunk beds and questionable Wi-Fi. The pizza? Banging. The pasta? Spot on. The lasagne? A hug from Nonna herself. Now yes… I do question their 1,000-item menu, including a full English breakfast, burgers and probably a weather forecast. But somehow, this Italian-Bengali joint is a hidden gem, and the guys in the kitchen genuinely do the Italian dishes the Italian way. Pay them a visit. Support a local business (in cash, IYYK). They do accept card as well but there are some cash deals for collection which are great. The atmosphere and tables are like an east end cafe but the food is banging. Your taste buds will thank you and me.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Wow wow wow .. went into this place for a bacon roll and noticed some chicken on the griddle that looked amazing and straight away changed my mind and went for daily special . It was amazing and the size of the meal was crazy large . The chicken was perfectly seasoned the rice was cooked to perfection and the salad had a great dressing .. all I can say was this meal was delicious and perfect. Definitely see you again and thank you”

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

“Very nice and tasty food 10 out of 10. Guy serving was really nice and friendly. Lady at the back was really nice and friendly. Cooked fresh and tasty food. Great service. Highly recommended to everyone, will definitely come and visit again 5 star service.”

“I hope this cafe never closes and helped to be maintained and be even better. The cafe is so important to families and the local community. Sadly Barking has become an absolute rookery , and barking park once being a landmark is one of the very few things left that gives the town any appeal and would be in despair without it. Keep the cafe, and the warm friendly people who run it and ai hope the local government make it even great again.”

“Very nice and tasty food 10 out of 10. Guy serving was really nice and friendly. Lady at the back was really nice and friendly. Cooked fresh and tasty food. Great service. Highly recommended to everyone, will definitely come and visit again 5 star service.”

“An amazing evening at 55Square . The food was great , the portion was very very generous . The staff were friendly, warm gave gave good personal care . Food presentation was great . I highly recommend . I left drunk on food . Thank you 55Square .”

“Loved the Luton branch. Glad they opened more”

“I love to taste Indian food, especially Hyderabadi biryani, and Hyderabad wala is a good choice for a biryani lover like me. The menu had a good selection of dishes. They have both veg and non-veg option. I tested their chicken dum biryani, keema biryani, and lamb dum biryani as well. They served this biryani with raita and gravy. Their food is delicious to taste. The one thing that is good to know is that their biryani is a bit spicy, so think before you taste it if you are not a spicy lover. This is a neat and clean restaurant and has a modern look. The behavior of the staff is good also. I love to go there again to taste their different dishes.”

“Loved the food here, lovely selection of healthy vs regular, great prices and lovely friendly and humble hard working staff. Thank you.”

“Great food! The salads are delicious! Generous portions of food at a very reasonable price! Staff are friendly and the service is good..”

“Store manager - Dipa, leads an amazing team from the from. She runs a very tight ship to ensure the guest experience is one to remember. Leading by example and creating a thoughtful coffee guest experience as always. Many thanks - Jay B”

“Review: A Great Halal Pizza Spot with Authentic Italian Flavors! If you’re looking for a great halal pizza place that serves authentic Italian-style pizza, look no further! I recently visited this restaurant, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel comfortable right away. Their hospitality and positive attitude created a warm and inviting atmosphere, which made the dining experience even better. Now, let’s talk about the most important part—the pizza! The quality of the ingredients was outstanding. You could tell that everything was fresh, from the rich tomato sauce to the perfectly melted cheese and the flavorful toppings. The crust was just right—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside—exactly how a proper Italian pizza should be. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was clear that the chefs put great effort into making sure the taste was as authentic as possible. Another major plus was the pricing. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the pizzas were, especially considering the high quality of ingredients and the generous portion sizes. It’s not often that you find a place that offers such great value for money. Whether you’re dining alone, with family, or with friends, you won’t have to worry about spending too much while still enjoying a delicious meal. As for cleanliness, I would say the restaurant was in good shape overall. It wasn’t spotless, but it was definitely clean enough to enjoy a meal comfortably. The tables were well-maintained, and the kitchen area looked organized, which is always a good sign when it comes to food hygiene. Overall, I highly recommend this halal pizza place to anyone who loves Italian-style pizza. With its fresh ingredients, amazing flavors, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, it’s definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re a pizza lover or just looking for a nice place to eat, this spot will not disappoint. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!”

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

“Regular customer there. Love the food. Its amazing. And cheap turkish food too. Affordable for 1 person. Plz DON'T increase the price.”

“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”
