“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.”

“Serving the meal at Moldova Restaurant is a superb experience ! The serving staff is highly trained to assure the best customer satisfaction, always present for quest needs and demands. All the dishes are so tasty, made in traditional way by kitchen staff. The restaurant decor is like a dream, everything is nice and pristine inside. And the last but not the least, the prices are affordable for any pocket. Many thanks and keep it up :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“The venue was amazing; the food and staff were good. The portion size was a bit small, but everyone enjoyed the food. The ambiance added to the experience, with soft lighting and tasteful decorations that created a warm and inviting atmosphere.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Had a very limited late lunch break. my meal was served piping hot within 3 minutes. Absoulately tasty, clean, staff and chef very polite. İnfact due to my dietery needs my meal was tailor made. to my needs. will definately recommend.”

“Great old style park cafe. The cafe has a wide selection of food and drinks. The prices are cheap. I had the chilli with cheese and the chip was £5.90. It was tasty and had a large portion.”

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this establishment. The food was exceptionally delicious, with each dish freshly prepared and full of flavor. We were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary baklava, which was a delightful touch. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that added to the overall charm of the restaurant. Additionally, the facilities, including the restroom, were impeccably clean. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, contributing greatly to our positive experience. I left very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to friends and family. I look forward to returning in the future.”

“Had such a wonderful time here today, it was our first time. We enjoyed the Sunday buffet. We had our kids with us too and they loved the pasta. Food was delicious, they had live music playing and the overall atmosphere was great. Incredible value too thanks again we'll be back! X”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“This pub always used to be my local but was looking old and tired. They’ve recently had a refurb and honestly it looks great. Service is good, food is tasty and it’s one of the few proper pubs left. Will definitely be my local again. Highly recommend it!”

“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”

“The food is very filling. I went with my brother and we both had the salmon selection each. It is very filling and we’d love to buy sushi from this place again. I would recommend this place for any sushi addicts.”

“Good local Chinese restaurants are on the wane so thank the stars for Mandarin Palace. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous indeed. The service is prompt and courteous. There is parking apparently round the back. The toilets are clean but in need of refurbishment. Celebrating 50 years so 15 per cent off (dining only) up to 31 July 2024! Expensive but worth it. We went to celebrate my daughters 18th. The portions are HUGE so if ordering set menu perhaps order for one less person.”

“Amazing food great hospitality. Everything was top notch.”

“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.”

“Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.”

“Fantastic Service from Rafaela Today! I stopped by Old Maypole today and was genuinely impressed with the service Rafaela provided. She was welcoming from the moment I walked in and helped me with exactly what I needed. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made the visit so much smoother. Truly top-notch service—thank you, Rafaela!”

“The shop is very neat and clean customer service is always nice and friendly food is the best .I really appreciate and recommend.”

“We have been going to Harman since it opened its door in Gants Hill - This is the most reasonably priced Turkish restaurant, serving delicious food ! We would highly recommend Harman to anyone who do not compromise on taste yet keep an eye on the budget !”

“First time here with family and we all loved it. We came when it was rather quiet. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. All our courses was delicious. The restaurant was clean. Parking available in a nearby carpark free in the evening. Praying facilities also available. Staff also gave free brownie favour to the kids. Will return again.”

“Lovely restaurant, great food and good service. We ordered the puri and chana masala, veg curry and halwa taali which tasted great especially the halwa. The karak chai was good too.”

“Absolutely AMAZING food I have known them for so long honestly such a friendly environment and service”

“Everything good but faiza the girl work overthere is really rude to customer showing attitude just tell her to be nice and polite to customers as no business can run without customers and staff is there to give good service to peoples not to show them attitude. What will you lose by being nice to customers and we are regular customers we almost come everyday, so just noticed this. Otherwise everything is really good from taste to costumer service from other two girls.”

“I always visit thus shop and served very nicely. The staff is so polite and friendly. Everyone should must visit here.”
