The staff are highly attentive and unfailingly provide excellent service. It is quickly becoming my preferred spot for breakfast.”

“Great pub with good atmosphere and great friendly staff”

“Smacks is hands-down one of the best burger spots I’ve visited in a long time. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the amazing smell of freshly grilled patties, and the atmosphere is warm, casual, and inviting. I tried their signature burger, and it was perfect—juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right with fresh toppings. The bun was soft but held everything together, and the sauce added that extra kick without overpowering the meat. Their fries were crispy, golden, and clearly made with care, not just tossed in as an afterthought.”

“Loaded fries are the ultimate indulgence, with crispy fries topped with melted cheese, fresh jalapeños, and a drizzle of creamy sauce. The balance of textures – crunchy, creamy, and savory – makes every bite irresistible. Perfect for sharing or as a satisfying solo snack, these fries are customizable with endless toppings. The only downside is how quickly they disappear! A must-try for anyone craving a hearty, flavorful treat. Highly recommended for a game day snack, movie night, or any time you’re looking for a satisfying comfort food fix!”

“Absolutely amazing food. I loved this food so much that my family is having to tell me to stop asking to eat it. Man the food was incredible the vegetarian hotdog is to die for and the pizza was moist thick and lovely. In fact we even got a burger for free but don't expect it everytime. But even then all the food was delicious and perfect”

“Great food! I often buy their vegetarian items and really enjoy them. However, when I ask if their chicken or mutton is halal, they say it is, but I haven’t seen any halal certification displayed in the shop. It would be reassuring if they could show their halal certification in the future.”

“It's good quality food. Masala fish was excellent, and the sauce the right level of heat. Thoroughly recommend for good quality masala fish.”

“Been going here since I went to school 25 years ago. Very friendly people and the best chips around. Their chilli sauce is awesome too.”

“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”

“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.”

“Really good pizza. The owner was very kind and the whole staff seemed very happy!”

“Very good clean packaging! Great customer service! Good portions and FRESH salads! Not soggy and old salads like most places give. The nihari was amazing, the roti and naan were nice too. Their chicken curry is amazing! All of their curries are really nice, best Pakistani food in the area! The biryani was nice but tasted a bit dry and I only got one small piece of meat which was disappointing. I’ll order again because the food was still really nice!”

“Got from the takeaway. Great tasting & quality fish & chips. Nice mushy peas as well. I did wait for my order to be fried which I didn't mind at all. Well worth the money and wait.”

“Absolutely wonderful place! We are regular customers and never been disappointed! Fantastic service cannot recommend enough! Our favourite is green curry with rice, pad thai and satay chicken.”

“Wow these guys make great pizza. Unlike D and Hut or the worst papa which if you fed your dog you'd get done for animal endangerment. Best Pizza ever. Legends. 5 stars all day.”

“Our go to Chinese in Barkingside! great portions and comparably cheap. Never take any longer than 10-15 minutes. Free delivery when spent £10. They don’t offer complimentary prawn crackers though.”

“MAM GRILL HUT - first time trying the new venue which was previously known as the grill hut. Since under new ownership, the eatery has had brand new interior which is vibrant and welcoming, far greater improvement. The tables were clean and plenty of seating was available. As a group of 8 we were attended to by the extremely friendly staff. Menu items are plentiful. We opted for the grill chicken platter with 4 lamb chops grilled chicken wings and 2 large sides. Food was prepared fresh and succulent. Flavour was spot on. The fried chicken was fresh and extremely tasty. Customer service was really good with all requests being catered to. On a separate occasion we ordered takeaway and the food was just as good! A great new addition to Goodmayes. Well worth a visit.”

“A great asset to the local community. Great food, affordable prices and lovely staff.”
