Traditional in Ilford

“I just went there for a haircut. The person who did it was very welcoming and the haircut was quick, nice, and well-done. Would definitely recommend it”

“Kurdish barber is hands down the best barber I’ve ever had. Every time I walk in with a new photo of a hairstyle, then takes it a step further by tailoring it to suit my face perfectly. The attention to detail and personal touch he adds makes a huge difference. Always leave his chair feeling confident and fresh. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“We visited the shop for kitchen tiles and the service we received from Soner Z, was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The only let down is the staff working conditions, the place is very cold even with the one big blow up heater it makes little difference.”

“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.”

“Nice colourful restaurant, staff friendly polite and quick service. Crispy broccoli and aubergine very nice..would like to try crispy chicken next time...huge spring roll. £45 for two people. Had 5 dishes.”

“VERY sad to say that The Golden Curry is closing on 1st Sept after 58 yrs (they opened in 1966). Lovely food, place and staff. It will be sorely missed.”

“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.”

“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.”

“This is a great plase to dine out. We, as a family have been eating at Birashwamys for over thirty years when my father came across it one day. The restaurant is very cosy and the gorgeous aroma coming from the kitchen makes you feel hungry the minute you walk through the door. There's a great choice of delicious dishes on offer that tastes different to other Indian restaurants I have visited. We no longer live close Birashwamys but we make it point to drive down regularly. The food tastes just as delicious today as it has did thirty years ago. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are really friendly. Nice clean toilets. Good background music. Overall the place has a good feel about it. Well worth a try. You never know. This may become your favourite restaurant. Get Outlook for Android”

“Very impressed with their food and portions. I ordered the mixed doner with chips. Their salad was nice and fresh. The meat and chicken was flavoursome and the portion size was very generous. The triple cheese burger was also really nice and great size. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, well prepared and served quickly. The staff created a warm and welcoming environment, making the whole visit enjoyable. It’s clear they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommended.”

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

“Me and my family, went out to celebrate our daughter’s exam result's. Prior to starting university, we had an amazing evening from the moment we arrived, nice seating, decor atmosphere. Most importantly the food was delicious and the portions were very decent, we had excellent time and would definitely recommend.”

“It's a big store and very well kept. Very close to the train station ( Ilford station)”

“Northwest & Southern Indian fusion with Singaporean cuisine absolutely great, so many choices, and I loved the whole interior and vibe!”

“It was Fantastic flavour It was amazing. I would definitely try other dishes the one I had was chicken in black bean sauce with noodles and some vegetables. I think item number 41 on the menu.”

“Best barbers In the area. The owner is amazing and his staff the friendliest.”

“The service received from the Kings and Queens team was great. They really knew their stuff and helped us design and select products for our bathrooms that worked within our budget. They were always contactable and dealt with any questions/issues immediately. We also brought other things from them including our carpet and was really a one stop shop for our renovation. They were able to provide advice and instructions to our builders when needed and I would highly recommend Kings and Queens for all your renovation needs for all types of budgets. I will definitely be using them for the future work we have planned and thanks again to the team.”

“I have been attending for 5 months and so look forward to my class with our teacher Bittu. He makes the class fun, breaks down the moves and really puts his heart and soul into the sessions with an added touch of humour. The classes are interactive and fun. The routines and songs are changed regularly, to challenge and keep us on our toes (literally) !! Bittu always makes time to go over the basic steps each lesson, and will throw in advanced moves to enable us to realise how much more there is to Bhangra. Look forward to the end of year performance. If you are thinking of joining, don’t think just join !!”

“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”

“Hayden did a cover up for me today, I had been to many places with lots of experience with tattoos and cover ups to ask about my tattoo and what can be done with it, they all turned me away saying that it would need to be lasered or that nothing can be done and I should leave it how it is which left me disappointed thinking that nothing could be done. Only Hayden was confident that something could be done and wanted to help me and make me happy with my tattoo. He booked me for a consultation and discussed many ideas he had, I knew from this that Hayden was the one to go with as his confidence and vast knowledge showed me he knew what he was talking about. I walked in today with no fear of how the tattoo would be as I knew he would take care of me, after a short time planning Hayden suggested his ideas and what I saw he absolutely smashed it. Hours later I am absolutely elated with my tattoo and now have a tattoo that I love, Hayden put his pride into his work and wouldn’t let me leave unhappy even in the slightest, he worked straight through to make sure I was happy which I am truly appreciative of. The vibe, team and hospitality from Prophecy was brilliant. If you are unsure about what you want done or simply want a 10/10 tattoo this is the one stop shop for everything you would need”
