Restaurant experience in Ilford

“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.”

“First time here and I love their food !! Their butter chicken masala didn’t have a nasty red coloring to it., chicken was soft and naan was light !! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!! Will be returning for sure.”

“Had a nice meal here for my Aunts birthday. It was quite busy but not noisy. The fixed price lunch menu was good value. The a la carte looked a bit pricey! I had the ribs my aunt had the salmon. We were served by the delightful Alissa and really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Recommended.”

“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!”

“Evya Turkish Grill & Meze Bar is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Turkish flavors. The food is delicious, with a great variety of grilled meats, fresh meze, and flavorful dishes that taste as good as they look. The service is outstanding; the staff are attentive, friendly, and quick to make you feel welcome. The decor adds to the experience with a warm, inviting ambiance and tasteful Turkish touches that make the space feel cozy yet stylish. On top of all that, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and service provided. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!”

“Came here because we were at the water park down the road and needed somewhere to eat. The restaurant there is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sweet 1ne had the highest ratings in the area, for good reason. Very tasty food, and very friendly staff. Even the gym guy was very friendly (it's inside the gym). Highly recommend!”

“A great place for us to have Lunch. Offer healthy options and great service from staff and owners. Recommend.”

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing and the customer service was very good. I would definitely recommend to visit this place for the best smash and chicken burgers.”

“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!”

“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”

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

“Great pub with good atmosphere and great friendly staff”

“We had my sons 18th party here, have to say was the best night, couldn't fault the staff, customer service was 100% and the management staff, Saiorse and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything went well, notting was to much trouble and I can't thank them enough for making it a special time for my son. Would 100% recommend this place for events. The staff and management are amazing. Thank you so much guys. Looking forward to going again.”

“The pizzas here are on point, the right amount of cheese to tomato base. The chicken topping was very good and the dough base was light with a good crunch. The staff are extremely accommodating and polite.The food prices are fair for the food quality. I would recommend to anybody in London Illford and we will be coming here regularly.”

“We have tried this place a few times now and absolutely love it! Totally original and unique pizza combos, delicious new tastes and delectable dessert options make this restaurant a new keeper for us! The professional staff are eager to go above and beyond. Our order was taken by an extremely helpful and friendly member of staff by the name of Sid who made excellent recommendations and ensured we received top quality food. Thanks!”

“To be honest, it was quite unexpected. We didn't anticipate much from the place, but we had heard some positive feedback from our friend. And here we are pleasantly surprised by the offering from the restaurant. Everything was good, from the food, service, and hospitality to the ambience. We had a good time there, and I hope you get it too. So that's all I have to say, do give it a try.”

“The best grill food ever in Redbridge! I get food from here every week, even though there are loads of other places in Gants Hill. All the brothers who work there are amazing – well-behaved, hardworking, and always smiling. The food is top quality, and the service makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“A place I will never stopped getting tired of ordering takeouts in most weekends for many, many years. What great about this place is most of their foods are made fresh and not store brought. Their wings are succulent when straight out of the fryer.”

“Definitely recommend the Sunday brunch. Food is an amazing . Perfect for families.”

“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.”

“Food is great. We had 2 burgers, fries and bom-bom chicken. Have to admit, it was absolutely amazing. (And I am not a burger fan) buns, meat, sauces were of high quality. Definitely the best burger take out we’ve had in this area ever.”

“This Caribbean shop has become my go-to, especially in the winter. I usually order from them on Uber and the food just tastes so homey and comforting. I honestly buy their soup every couple of days because it’s that good and it’s the kind of meal that warms you right up. I’ve never had an issue with the quantity either. They’re always generous with the dumplings, potatoes, carrots, sweetcorn, and chicken. The flavours are amazing every single time. I’ve nearly tried nearly all of the food items by now”

“Amazing service, environment, quality and quantity of food.everything was topnotch. I am now really fan of Their chicken corn soup. Trust me this place is a hidden jem.i live in gants hill so typically tried more or less all the restaurants near by.i went bahubali to try south indian dosa which i never tried but they don't serve any more their versatile menu amazed me & my wife.only bit downside was fried rice but its not noticeable which i already mentioned to chef.Their cutleries service style is really good. Only suggestion i can give during operation time close the door and turn on ac and air freshener will be really helpful also if there is wet wipes option available will be extra poit for noticeable. As a comnercialcatering company executive i would like to say if you doing same quality and quantity in business bahubali will rise soon. I forgot to ask the guy and his colleague who served us,they are very helpful and professional. Authorities give them a rise for excellent service. Lots of love and best of luck for the team.”

“The jelabis are tasty. We had veg food like samosa, mirchi bajji, aloo bonda. The taste is very good. Good hospitality. Price is reasonable.”

“Here is an average Joe review. The energy if the place is great, you will feel at home being here. Lovely design of the interior and staff are super friendly. Looking at the menu I felt 1 slice of toast wasn't the best for a full English but, when the plate arrived I was more than happy there was just one, the portion was big. You will not walk out of here hungry. A lot of people come through the place to eat in and to take away. Prices are good for the portion if not on the low side. Omelette at £9 and full English £9,50. The only minor downside is the cigarette smoke coming into the restaurant from the people smoking outside, otherwise excellent.”

“Came here for drinks with family and friends later jist before christmas- great drinks and atmosphere, food looked delicious but I never ate anything but my cousin said it was very good pub food. Second time around coming here, will definitely come back when back in town again! Great local spot!”
