Spices in Ilford

“Our Pakistani friend took us to Haweli restaurant in Ilford for dinner. We had lamb and chicken curry, lamb biryani, various kebabs, it was delicious, and our first time having Pakistani food, we all loved it. Sumbul provided excellent service. She was very polite and hospitable.”

“Absolutely the best Indian Restaurant in the Borough!!! Would not go anywhere else. Have been going here for years . Food is delicious and nothing is too much trouble if you want something a little different like paneer chicken.Staff are so friendly and helpful . Delivery is excellent with the food still lovely and hot. If you eat in the service is first class”

“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.”

“Absolutely authentic dishes. Whatever I ordereded was top notch. Ordered kulcha, kadhi chawal abd halwa poori. Everything was spot on 10/10. True indian taste.”

“There starters are awesome. Special mention to the Appam very tasty with nice chewy consistency which I love it. I had ur food on one birthday party. Outstanding.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.”

“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”

“Had a great experience at Hyderabad wala Ilford. Amazing taste and many thanks to the chef who made our sister’s birthday very special. Highly recommend.”

“It is a gem on the corner of London. Real authentic street food.”

“shop is convenient, generally well‑stocked and worth a visit if you want halal meat, spices, fresh produce or items that larger supermarkets might not carry. Just be mindful that prices can vary and service experiences differ between vi”

“The food is really amazing highly recommend to visit in store , service efficient and delicious 11/10 better then any chicken shop ,I’m here everyday they never let me down !”

“Andra chilli chicken is very tasty.. definitely recommended.”

“Friendly and they always search to satisify the customer.”

“Best pizza i had in years just like i use to have back in 2009. ( the place i use to go to sadly dont do the pizzas anymore) I went for chicken pizza as i have been craving one for yonks via reminincing the good old days as modern Britain is rubbish. Halal pizzas makes it boom and cooked fresh in under an amazing 10 mins! and the current deal of £2 for a 5 incher pizza and any two toppings is great value for money. Wish i knew of this place earlier. The customers are gonna flock. They deserve the good business. To the resturant owner and all the cooks thank u for making my Friday really needed that.”

“We had a great experience. Great Turkish food and insane value.”

“Put simply – the best Indian food I have had in London Great variety of menu options but for me the depth of flavours in the meat starters and curries are unmatched, in particular lamb chops, methi chicken, chilli fish and hariyali chicken were absolute highlights – stunning I've been recommending Haveli to friends and family for months now and cannot speak highly enough of this place. Give it a go, you will not be disappointed”

“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.”

“Took my grandmother there for her birthday dinner, excellent food, nicely presented, very good service and great atmosphere. I highly recommend. They even surprised us with a little cake for her at the end, which was so sweet.”

“It really made things easy to get all kinds of Indian and especially South Indian items.”

“Omg this place was so delicious, amazing food , service and drinks. I loved the decor of all the amazing cassettes in the restaurant of all the different movie soundtracks, I would highly recommend such an enjoyable evening!”

“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 :)”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.”
