Delicious fried chicken concept by by born and bred Hackney resident

Peck Peck

Well worth the value! Tasty, crunchy and juicy fried chicken. We ordered naked wings with mayo and a fried chicken sandwich. All were really nice. The breaded layer is a bit thick to my liking but should go really well if you order it with flavours instead of naked. Staff was really welcoming too. Highly recommend⭐️

What a great place! Went to see a film, and had wandered past here on the way, so popped in with friends after. So glad we did, we all had very different dishes, but everything was spot on. My hot honey burger was juicy, and just the right balance of sweet and savoury I was looking for. Portion sizes are great value for the price, and can't turn down the 2 for £12 aperol spritz offer! We will be back!

Amazing food, you're not a 'foodie' untill you've eaten here.

I walked past this place when they opened and they where busy, I came back nearly at closing and they had sold out of some items cause they had been that busy.

But I got what I wanted, one of their chicken burgers, and I can see why they are so in demand.

It's was a fantastic blend of crispy and moist. The fries where so great with their home made spices.

Honestly a great place to eat.

Amazing! Came up for the Hackney Empire, and had the blue cheese buffalo burger, piri piri fries and Mac and cheese, it was honestly incredible! Amazing service, incredible food, very fast and overall just highly recommended. It's not a huge venue so you may need to plan ahead.

Excellent food! Best fried chicken in the area no competition! Their special burger and crispy thighs are the best!

All our food is halal, we have a number of Muslim employees and we have a strong Muslim following. Peck Peck is also extremely thankful and supportive of our Muslim supporters.

Cafe No 92

Nice cafe located in a residential area. I heed the advice from many reviews here and got the food to share. The portions were indeed really big and filling!

I got latte, royal breakfast & the famous focaccia. The coffee was good, food as well. Though I think the flavors could be balanced better (smashed avocado was too sour and chicken focaccia was too sweet); so it was a little overwhelming on the palate.

Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience(:

Stopped here for late breakfast and was very impressed. Very modern, cosy little cafe with an impressive breakfast/lunch menu. Highly recommend everyone to visit  👌

Very nice cafe. Would recommend and will visit again.

I got the Cafe No.92 breakfast (in the photo). Definitely a unique combination of ingredients, although the items definitely complimented each other.

Paid just under £15 for the plate and an iced coffee.

Delicious menu, and a relaxing cafe to come and enjoy a hot and/or healthy breakfast/brunch, coffee and a cake, or lunch.
We popped in mid afternoon, well after the lunch rush, to order a takeaway coronation chicken baguette and a coffee.

We were waiting for 15 minutes for the baguette, which arrived packaged up in a box with salad and crisps. As we had planned to eat it on the go, and not realising it would be packed as a meal, it would have been good had they asked if we wanted it as a meal, or just rolled up in foil or something - without the crisps and side salad.

We visited again and had a very good breakfast - shaksuka eggs and a ham & cheese omelette and weren’t waiting too long, despite it being very busy. It’s safe to say everything on the menu exceeds expectations - large portions, beautifully presented, most things come with a side salad or small fruit salad, and plenty of toast with breakfast dishes.

Nice place, good decor. Food is ok and for some reason they weren't doing cooked breakfast and the menu had changed recently.

Place is very clean with good service, has toilet facilities for customers. The music was a little loud at our last visit.

Recent visit was on a Sunday lunchtime, had to wait in queue for a free table so maybe worth checking ahead. Lots of parking nearby on local streets. Close to DLR station.

Food: After the amazing ribs at The Meat Co, N decided to order them again here. Although they were tasty, they wern’t AS good! I ordered a Rib Eye Steak (medium rare) which I enjoyed very much, along with the scrumptious Mac’n’Cheese. The Loaded Fries were a bit too salty for us though.
Service: The Manager was really nice and made sure we enjoyed our food.

@twopeasfoodies's review of HS&Co Stratford on Instagram

I went to @hsandco for my last meal before Ramadan, actually, it was for my dad's birthday and he likes steak so I thought I'd take him out. 
This was my second visit and my first visit was not the best in terms of my enjoyment of steak. I wanted to give this place another go, I ordered a ribeye medium for dad and one medium rare for me. 
Sadly, once again it was a massive let down, I was served a steak that had a nice seared outer layer but uncooked and rare in the middle, I had to send it back. I was going to post a pic, but honestly, it's gross. 
My dad is a simple man and doesn't complain much but he was not impressed! I cook steak at home and I can cook a better one than what's served here, dad was in agreement. 
Dissapointing and a place that I can't recommend.

There is a full in depth review on the blog. Search for hs&co

Just found this place for a bite of lunch.
We went for the lunch specials, I had the beef burger with smoked cheddar and my partner went for the chicken burger, both came with fries also.
The food was great, really tasty and fresh.
The service was fantastic, the girl taking our orders was very professional and friendly.
The food arrived quickly and exactly as ordered.
Great value, great service and great food.
Recommended.

This is one of those places that don't catch the eye but when someone refers you to it and you try it out, then you know what you've been missing out on. The lamb ribs are out of this world. Steak is cooked to perfection, I also had the Courgette fritters which are delicious and the wings were juicy too. I don't go back to many places but coming back for the ribs definitely.

Been there few times in the past and what I remember from the past was excellent. So decided to go there again after a long time, I believe the menu may have changed slightly, just a tiny bit but still excellent, shop decor styling is very nice, food still tasted brilliant, decent pricing, welcoming and friendly customer service. Highly recommended, will go there again sometimes soon.

Used to come here years ago, so glad to rekindle my love for this little local gem!

The ambiance is so relaxed, the staff are so friendly but not invasive and standing over your shoulder.

A menu with a difference! You can’t find an authentic halal roast dinner as good as this anywhere nearby. Great tasting, nothing too heavy unless you over order.

The drinks menu is modest but we’ve had almost every drink and can say they are so refreshing and well made.

Chocolate soufflé ALWAYS a runny centre, never disappointing.

Soon as we walked in I was impressed. we got there a bit early but they let us in and sit down and scope out the menu. The waitress, (Eileen or Helena, I can't remember her name) was superb! Her customer service was fantastic. She was lovely to chat to, and explained that the back area of the restaurant was for bigger parties or private bookings and explained that it was used to pray too. We had a nice chat about the non alcoholic drinks and she even gave us a sample to taste as what we had requested, they didn't have. I got the chicken wings as a starter which were delicious and the chicken and cheese thing with rosemary potato as mains. Although it was a very large portion so couldn't finish it but without asking, the waitress popped a takeaway box on our table. She was so so lovely! Will definitely be back.

Sleek Indian restaurant with dark wood tables and banquettes in black leather and primary colours

Lime Bar & Restaurant

I visited this Indian Restaurant recently.

The food doesn't taste good, far far from Indian taste! Worse the quantity and cooking is also bad. I ordered vegetarian thali and it was quite bad. Stuffed Parantha had no stuffings

Pls skip this restaurant if going for true Indian restaurant.

PS: Bar and overall ambience is good but doesn't help.

Portion sizes should be bigger for the price especially for the rice and bread
Flavour is nice
Service is good
Lovely colour scheme

LIME is a great Indian Restaurant in Canary Wharf. The food is excellent as are all the staff. The boss is very accommodating, if you have a special request. They also have a great bar area. Highly recommended.

I ordered dinner online using Just Eat website. I had the following based on the reviews I read about the restaurant: 1- Hyderabadi Biryani, Chicken: the rice was OK. nothing special at all about it although the reviews says it is their best. I did not like the raw onion on top (Whenever I had Biryani it is usually served with crispy onion not raw but may be this is different recipe). As a matter of fact, the egg was OUT OF DATE!! this was horrible absolutely wrong and should not be happening. the moment I smelled the egg, I spitted out.

2- Tarka Daal: very salty daal coloured water and the few daal here and there with a couple of Chelies. Again, it was mostly water added to the Daal. I think they Poured a little of it in the take away container and added water and plenty of salt. Really bad.

3-Chicken Tikka Masala: surprisingly it was sweet. Unlike any other Tikka Masala I tried, this was not savoury as I like it. the chicken was covered with a bright red sweet sauce, No masala spices I can taste at all. but I can taste sweet coconut flavor and the bright red colour was so artificial. both Biryani and the Masala were so different from anything I tried in my life and I do not mean that in a good way. If I was in the restaurant, I would have returned the food back to the kitchen and left. I do not recommend this place to anyone especially for TAKE AWAY or ORDERING FROM HOME, such a waste of money. It is unfortunate that people write good reviews and post good pictures on Google when the reality is something completely different. Maybe it is because I ordered the food online and was not physically at the restaurant, so I was served the out of date food or that of a poor quality.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was friendly and efficient. The Saag aloo was excellent as was the Tarek Dahl. Garlic naan was very well done without overpowering garlic as some places do. I went with four sides for dinner and had plenty left over.

Taste of India - Manor Park,Veg & Non Veg

Always loved their food. Especially when it comes to biriyani they maintain the authenticity flavor. Not like most like other places sells and serve instead of biriyani the pilau rice.. love the fragrance and taste..

Authentic South Indian Dishes. They have a speciality "Vaniambaady Biriyani" available only on weekends which is worth trying.

Loved it. Had tasted butter chicken so good after much time in London. One visit is mandatory if you live nearby. Good places for family/friends dinner. Hygeinic food, clean tables.

Other changes food taste like reheated and all waiters rude .

average food. no papadoms, no samsosas no fries. wouldnt bother going here again

Everything on our menu is Halal. We are HMC certified.

Taste of India

Afghan, Pakistani, Indian and Middle Eastern dining

I've lived around Ilford Lane for a while now, it's home to loads of halal restaurants but I've never managed to visit Watan, I've been to the one in Southall around 5 years ago and wasn't impressed. However, every time I go past the one in Ilford Lane there are queues going out the door.

The weather was nice yesterday and we just fed and changed the baby so I said let's go for a walk and check it out for lunch.

The menu has a lot of options (swipe 👉 for menu) but I decided to stay on the safe side and try a Afgan Mix grill for £32. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from here.. But I was pleasantly surprised!

The kebabs tatsed really good, the first bite of each different item was full of flavour and juicy, they have been marinated in well balanced spices, seasoned well and more importantly not overcooked, something that used to be typical in places like this. Finally, chefs are realising that cooking meat to medium makes it tender, soft and taste better overall. Also, they don't remove the fat off the lamb chops, which means you get that flavour hit from your first bite. Lamb chops, lamb tikka, chicken tikka, seekh kebab and reshami kebabs, every item was good

It's served on a gaint naan and comes with 2 types light and delicate rice. Portions are good, we had plenty of food left over for take away.

Overall, for a first time visit and quick lunch I was impressed and enjoyed the meal. Lunch time was good to visit as it wasn't busy, I see why its busy in the evening as there's not many tables, maybe 45 people max. Decor isn't fancy, modern and clean and the service is basic.

And yes, I know I should of tried the Chapli Kebab.

All food halal. No alcohol. No service charge added. I paid for my meal, not a invite.

Watan Ilford Restaurant

Excellent restaurant. Comfortable seating and great customer service.

Food is exceptional and very affordable for a night out.

Will definitely be back.

Lovely place. Lovely minimal decor. Staff were nice and attentive. Food came fresh, hot and tasty. Would definitely be going there again

Good food and taste amazing.
Love how the kitchen is exposed and you can see how your food’s getting made.
I hope they will increase the seating area and keep on top of the cleanliness.

Food was amazing. The service by Taj was superb and the waiting time was minimal. We went as a group of 12 and the service was highly efficient. Highly recommended 👌

Nice food and best service, Only issue is seating capacity they should start taking bookings to avoid the long queues outside. Food is delicious will go again and again.
Defo recommended..👍🏻👍🏻

Deliveroo UK

UberEats UK

KFC Bethnal Green

I ordered Trilogy box meals which I received through Deliveroo. Delivery was fantastic but packaging and food quality was unsatisfactory. They put food and drink on the top of each other, burgers were half packed half open(dont want to talk about quality of burger), mini fillets were like stone, chips literally were few of them (you can see on the picture that was it)half of package were empty. I also ordered kansas bbq bites but it was barely any sauce on it and chicken bites were literally like stone. You can’t say if it was stone or chicken bite. I had bad experience with this branch before thought they changed but unfortunately they don’t consider customers reviews. Shame on them.

Fast service even when it was busy. I ordered a Nega Box and 6 Hot Wings. I asked for a breast piece and I got a side breast! Practically no meat on there at all! Wings and Mini Fillet were nice. Chips not the best could of been cooked longer. Please bring back the Mcdonalds style chips, they are so much better!

I recently have been to the KFC at Bethnal Green and the food and customer service was excellent! The cashier who had served me (Jannatul) made sure that my order was correct and the food tasted absolutely amazing! The food was prepared very quickly and given in a very calm manner though the place was overflowing with customers. I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone!

Probably one of the worst KFC I have ever been to! Chicken is really dry, skin tastes bad and I don't even want to get started on the timings! Really hope you fix it as I loved KFC growing up but feel there is massively better on offer at the minute in the east end for fried chicken!

The worst KFC I've been to, ordered a wrap of the day. Ended up with the filling in the box and the wrap squashed after it. Had reassemble tge wrap again myself to even eat. Lucky for them I was short of time otherwise I would've taken it back for a new one.
As for the wait, we'll they've taken 'fast' out of fast food.

HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Quran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

Philadelphia inspired restaurant serving mean chicken wings

Passyunk Avenue (Stratford)

Delicious food and great service. Hats off to the Chef and James Shaw who was a huge help in explaining menu and flavours to me while I was trying to decide what I wanted. He's warm and approachable as well as accommodating. Looking forward to introducing my friends to the venue!

The chicken wings were a 10/10 and the cheese steak is mouh watering.

I’m not usually one to leave bad reviews but unfortunately felt this one merited it.

I ordered the Turkey haugie and it was literally a basic baguette, lettuce, onions, Turkey slice and a slice of burger cheese - no different then what you could pick up at your local Tesco. It felt like I was customer in an Apprentice task where they cheaper out on the materials and maximised their profit!

With chips and a drink that cost £12!

So after a great shopping session we went to this American Burger restaurant and had these burgers. Quantity was fine but the chicken had no taste and was only boiled and I felt it was smelly as well. Chips were fine, cheese was fine but disappointed with the chicken filling.

Overall: 5/10
Never going again

First time having the "Philly Cheese Steak" and it was somewhat underwhelming. I guess the hype kind of killed it for me. Meat was ok and the bun was soft.

Let's start from this. I'm probably one of the biggest fan of the Passyunk cheesesteak. I used to get it back in 2015 with my colleague every week. They had a stall under my office in Moorgate every Wednesday and it was the best.
Two years ago I went vegan and I stopped having cheesesteak. Today I gave them a chance since I saw a vegan option.
I feel very disappointed. First of all there is no vegan cheesesteak option. They only have a sausage with peppers with no cheese. See the pictures to see what it looks like and tell me if you will be happy to have it because I was not.
In 2022, almost 2023, having such dry vegan meal is not only disappointing but also frustrating. I can easily make a vegan cheesesteak in my house, nowadays you have so many vegan replacement for meat and cheese that every customer will be very happy. Instead they decided to have a bun with some sausages and peppers in it and nothing else.
If you need to have a bad vegan option just don't. I would prefer to not have the option at all.
Also as you can see on the picture there was some cheese on the bun, clearly a mistake but it shouldn't happen..

We serve Halal. Certificate available behind the counter.

Las Iguanas - London - Stratford Westfield

I love coming to Las Iguanas for a cheeky cocktail and some nice food. I am currently in love with the Brazilian Fried Chicken. I could honestly have that as a meal it is so good! The nachos are great too! There are loads of options to be had on the menu.
It is a great space for friends to meet or to go on a date or to eat out with family. I would suggest watching how many cocktails 2-4-1 will really you ordering loads but these drinks really run up the price on bill 🥴

My family members enjoyed their fish dishes
But the chicken wasn’t great at all, we ate it we were very hungry 😅 but it wasn’t the best

Drink we’re ok and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. I think they may have been short staffed so we had to remind them about cutlery and our drinks a few times.

It’s a nice spot, I’m glad I’ve tried it as it’s been on my list for a while. I would go back for drinks and probably starters

This places is nice, but I went yesterday with some friends and we waited for long time to have our order and the Nachos arrived first than the beverages (cocktails happy hour last all day long, nice!) Just one lady was attending the whole room with a beautiful smile, rest of the staff just walked around, so the service was not good. The veggie burger I ordered was good but not the best I have eaten. Conclusion, cocktails are good, however the food is normal for the prices. PS: I forgot to take pic of the burgers we ordered. Sorry!

I love this place and the food is so good! The cocktails are fancy and there is always a happy hour! The staff is attentive, service is quick! I always order chilli con carne and I would like to say that recently it has been changed due to their update in the menu but not in the best way! You have a big and diverse menu to choose from. Sweet potato fries with a sauce is always a jackpot! It tends to get busy so book in advance if possible! The food is authentic and delicious!

There is plenty of seating and food options. Started off great with the Gambas, with it being cooked well and good flavour. The chicken burger was good too. Enchilada lacked flavour. Not a place I would go back to again.

All chicken is Halal. Ask for a Halal menu.

This hidden gem tucked away on a quiet side street serving breakfast brunch every morning and burgers and steaks in the evening, as well as value for money. They started breakfast recently, so I tried few of the dishes.
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Classic Breakfast (£8)
🔳 Steak & Egg Florentine (£7.50)
🔳 Lotus Buttermilk Pancakes (£8)
🔳 Aussie French Toast (£8)
🔳 Butter Chicken Burger (£8)
.
I always judge sausages with any breakfast dishes. You can tell these ain’t your typical cheap sausages. Good tasty meaty and beefy sausages. Just a good old classic breakkie. With breakfast prices everywhere going close to £15, getting a breakkie under 10 is a win win
.
My fav has to be this steak and egg. Amazing tender and melt in your mouth pulled beef with Avocado which gave a nice little creamy texture. This was really good. Must try
.
This probably might be one of the best pancakes I’ve had. I mentioned few times buttermilk pancakes that have a fluffy yet flakey cakey texture are the ones. This was exactly that. The edges have a nice caramelised crust giving a nice little crunchy twist.
.
First Aussie french toast. Most know I can’t do fruity. I probably would’ve enjoyed this without the fruity stuff. The bread itself was soft and had texture and crunch from coconut infused. Wasn’t for me because of the fruits but I can tell those who like fruity will defo enjoy this
.
I tried one of their burgers. The butter chicken was calling my name. Lol I had it and I was surprised them burgers were fricking amazing. Probably one of the most juiciest chicken thigh I’ve had. So crispy and tender chicken inside. The butter chicken gravy was drenched on the top. I would’ve drenched and dipped the whole thing for this burger
.
All in all excellent spot for breakfast even for your burger fixes. I must come back to try their burgers. Defo has potential

@halalhunt's review of The Connaught Ilford on Instagram

The Connaught

This small little brunch place, is a cute little place to go for brunch. The only downside to this place is how small it is and the waiting times (Was told the waiting time would be a minimum a 45 minute wait, luckily someone left before us and got seating within 5 minutes), other then that the food is alright. The Staff are extremely friendly, went with someone who has a peanut allergy, although the chef advised not to eat anything due to possibility of cross contamination after confirming that the nuts were from the Baklava we came to and agreement with what would be okay to eat.

Hidden gem in Ilford which serves great breakfast options. We ordered the hot chocolate, The American (comes with mini buttermilk pancakes) and the Classic Breakfast. Decent prices and has a bit of everything to suit everyone’s taste. The buttermilk pancakes were perfect - not too sweet at all. We came on a weekday after 11am and were seated pretty quickly. If you do come on a weekday, be prepared to wait as it is quite small inside but worth the wait in my opinion. The side roads have free parking through the Ringo app which is a plus.

Amazing halal brunch/breakfast spot. The steak and eggs were amazing (the only negative was that they were a little cold when they came out of the kitchen), the pancakes and the royale florentine were great as well. They have virgin cocktails and iced coffee as well. The staff were super busy but lovely. Definitely a great place to try in Ilford. I would recommend booking in advance as they have limited seats.

I visited this place on the launch day and I have to be honest I did have low expectations as it's a steakhouse and on launch day.

However, we were surprised and we loved the food and left the shop very satisfied.

The decor of the place is nicely done and the shop is clean, the staff were often cleaning the floors and tables and making sure the shop was spotless.

The staff were friendly, but we did have to wait around 35 mins for food, but the staff apologised for the delay and this can be expected for a launch day.

We ordered the Jose burger, which is similar to smash burgers but with green chillies, this was a really good burger and would recommend getting it. This came with their house fries, which I have to say is one of the better fries I've had, they were crispy but not too much and had a nice seasoning to it.

We also got the buffalo cheesy burger, this was the weakest item we got, which was still nice and the chicken was nice and soft, but found it slightly Tangier than normal. Which some people would prefer.

And finally we got the chicken steak with peppercorn sauce, this was the star item. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was juicy and had great flavour and with the peppercorn sauce made it one of the best chicken steaks I've had. This was really nice.

I do hope to try the meat steaks next time, but I am confident that they will also deliver.

The presentation of the food was also great.

Overall, we loved this place and can easily recommend it and will be coming here again.

Cute cozy place. Went there for brunch with a friend and ordered the American breakfast and coffee. It was good for the price and they had different milk options too for the coffee which I liked.
The only issue was waiting time for the food/drinks but it seemed like the people working were less in numbers and did the best they could.

Everything on our menu is certified halal.

Wow! I have been completely bowled over by the food, the presentation and service. The waiters were extremely friendly and attentive. The menu had a good variety of food to choose from and in fact I was spoilt for choice. The flavours were spot on and for me the Byriani was the star of the show. Great ambiance and lovely decor. I would highly recommend.

Nice venue, good food and the best staff service we have received today from Santa in busy time , very kind sweet and helpful girl.

Excellent venue,  delicious food and friendly staff. When I found out they also have a shisha lounge I was sold.

If you can get passed the dreadful undertrained staff in the door I wish you luck
As for the food I never got that far

You Me Sushi

Fantastic sushi. Was a bit sceptical about the quality of the food. But after trying sushi I can definitely say that I will come back. Nice service. Decent prices and tasty sushi! Would recommend to everybody!

I have placed four orders through Deliveroo/Uber Eats. The sushi is consistently good and the fish tastes fresh. They are my go-to sushi take out.
Better than more expensive restaurants out there. Once I had a sushi roll come a bit broken (might be due to delivery driver) and Uber refunded me for it.

I think some sushi rolls are very good and others are a bit more mediocre. Best ones I had are Rainbow, Salmon Crunch, Dragon.

Been there a few times before was ok not brilliant, however this time they provided a teeny piece of salmon, was not good quality.
The Marylebone branch is the original - top quality, good food, this franchise is close to home and convenient for us, but they ruined it for us with the poor quality, I don’t think I’ll be visiting again.

The shop with kitchen is very clean where we enjoyed the food very much especially Chicken katsu curry with rice that is reasonable price. Really I appreciate their service also.

I really enjoyed the meal I was served yesterday as I visited them for a quick lunch. It was such a wonderful experience for me to try the meal from another country.   I'll be coming around often for more 😊😊

We have recently improved our processes to remove mirin (alcohol) from our preparation process. All our chicken tempura is halal but our chicken gyoza is not halal.

I ordered curry goat during the lunchtime special hours for a bargain price of £8.95. I thought it was a bold move to not provide a knife in their to-go cutlery set, but it made sense once I opened the box because the goat meat was tender enough to pick apart with a plastic fork. The goat wasn’t very spicy, but was still well seasoned and tasted excellent. The mac n cheese surprised me because of how flavourful it was, and the rice & peas was great too. The service was quick, and the family running the restaurant are really sweet. It’s a large portion for the price. Highly recommended.

I should start with the good. The chicken was amazing I've never had jerk chicken done this way before so 👏🏾👏🏾. Now a few things  disappointed me and my guest. First the menu and prices had been changed(no notice was given on arrival). On the old menu that I saw on a review the jerk chicken meal came with some sides and was £8.95but when we orderd it £10.95 and as you can see in the pick just some  🥬,🥒 and 🍅. The food was warm but what disappointed the most was the attitude of the young waitress. The other staff were lovely but she needs to be trained on customer service!.  The aura she gave off was I don't want to be here, she was polite but did not have any warmth to her at all it was not welcoming. So disappointed won't be going back.

Very warm and welcoming place. Beautiful people and so friendly. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. Not rushed just chilled, I will definitely be going back there with friends and family.... Remember I'm coming back for that ginger drink!

Went there a month ago. I must say dreadful food. Worst carribean food ever. Honestly don't understand why people are giving good ratings. The price seemed reasonable went in for jerk chicken Sunday special. Was told they didn't have vegetables. Fair enough but once they served the Sunday special they were missing mash, roast potatoes etc.They apologised and said they ran out of vegetables, mash and roast potatoes. I felt rude to decline the food as they've gone through the effort to plate the food. So I ordered chip's and prawns as extra. The prawns tastes fresh and delicious however I would of preferred without shells but that's my personal preference. Now for the main...total disappointment. The jerk chicken was dry and chewy, the mac and a cheese had no flavour. The chip's were also dry and hard. Upon paying the Bill we gave honest feedback about the chicken, Fair enough the manager said they would of not served the chicken like that; they don't usually serve the jerk chicken after 4pm as they cook it earlier. Yet they should of told us this before ordering the food. Would of expected a discount due to  missing vegetables, roast potatoes and mash on the special. Yet they didnt have the courtesy to offer a discount they charged full price even the chip's. The can of coke also cost £3 each. The manager gave the wrong amount of change he was short of 15p but my partner didn't seem to fuss about it but I found it rude atleast acknowledge it and apologise he would of said keep the change anyway. I see where they make they're money. On the other hand I like the waitress she seemed friendly. despite my partner bumping in to her using the gents toilet !

Lovely staff I was there at around 7.30pm yesterday evening. Wanting to get some Nice Curry Goat with Rice  salad, plantains as a taste of home for me old  Jamaican mum .The portions were large,the food was lovely. It did not dissapoint. The staff who took my  order were a lovely young couple. I will be back next month. Cheers Paul the big man in the blue shirt From Hainault/Chigwell👍🤘👌👏

On entering,  a very clean and well maintained store. Got served at the counter by a polite and friendly young lady. She took our order and it was ready in under 10mins. Decided to go to the downstairs seating area  which was beautiful and cooler, yes they have an AC 😁 Staff even popped down to check the AC wasn't too cold for us, lovely of her to ask. Our pani puri was delicious and the cold drink was fabulous 👌 overall a lovely place to to meet with friends and I'll definitely be visiting again. 😋
Revisited today 20.11.22: Excellent customer service and peacefully empty. Plenty of delivery orders going out.

An Indian experience on streets of London. A must go to place for the chai lovers. The ambiance is very similar to what you would get at a chai point or Chayos back in India(I guess all follow the footsteps of Starbucks). The menu is desi fusion. Pink chai will be most suitable for the british taste. Staff is very friendly. Overall a must go place.

The food and drinks are great here, especially the different selection of teas if you're looking for something different than your standard pret/costa.

The Dalston branch was very clean and had a good atmosphere. The staff helped explain the options on the menu and the differences.

Good spot for desi Street food. However, some options on the menu are a bit overpriced considering the small portion sizes.

Ok place. V got free chai for Saturday .. lucky !!

Had bun kebab Karachi style fill loaded - nothing special. And samosa chat which was ok too. Total bill 7.2£
Can skip..

They food is amazing and absolutely beautiful delicious food and I highly recommend this place to everyone in London and around world to come here,  enjoy a your cup of chaii here at chaiiwala Dalston

Guilt-free, simple and nutritious dishes to enhance your mind, body and soul

Simple Health Kitchen

Have been here quite a few times for lunch and have not been disappointed.

Like it says in the name, the food is simple, healthy and actually tasty too, with a variety of options
(as long as you don't get there too late, as options do seem to sell out quickly).

Majority of the staff are very friendly and welcoming too.

Definitely a great clean alternative to stodgy lunches that wipe out your energy for the rest of the day.

Overall a very nice place for lunch. Great salad selection, and big portions if you go for the large box. I would of given them 5 stars but the chicken was very fatty. The spicy mayo is VERY spicy!

Cold chicken and undercooked brocolies. Service is fast and queue even on Friday is short. But extremely disappointing food. Ordered pesto chicken, but it was not able to taste any pesto at all. It had only a bit of green herbs on it. No trace of nuts :(

All veggies on the side were super raw. Had to bin brocolies and beatroot and microwave chicken back in the office.

At checkout they pack order, but don't put catlery in the bag.

That food and vegan, dairy free, gluten free sweets OMG accompanied with friendly staff.

I overall enjoy this place and eat here a lot for convenience. Good enough food and friendly staff. Main gripe is their portions are wildly inconsistent, usually on the smaller side. Sometimes it feels like they are purposely putting so little on the plate you need to ask for more. I shouldnt be able to count the potatoes just from a quick glance. I also usually come later and they have plenty leftover so I imagine they throw a lot away. So please train staff to not go so light on the salads - it will keep people coming back in the long run.

Patty&Bun - Liverpool Street

Nice place. The atmosphere around me was buzzing, music pumped up- a bit too much for my liking. The chips were very good, the vegan chicken tenders had salt sprinkled on top~ was no need for this, the salt dominated the flavour of the tender and accompanying chilli and lime vegan mayo, which by itself was beautifully balanced.
Maybe the meat options is where it’s at..? Still I think this is a great place to start a good night. Service was great.

Table service and atmosphere were fine, however the food could have been better overall. In particular, the chips/fries with chicken skin salt were not just salty but excessively so i.e. more or less coated with salt; even my partner who adds salt to virtually every meal agreed with me on this, so we find that to be saying something.

It was a passable experience as a convenient bite to eat outside of Liverpool Street station, but we probably wouldn't visit again.

Never disappoints- Lambshank Redemption Burger!!! I will risk a statement - Best Lamb Burger 🍔 I ever had!! The composition is just banging, aubergine, courgettes, feta just a pure explosion of flavors in my mouth 💥 Rosemary chips were great, made from fresh potatoes 🥔 with skin on it huge portion. One thing I was quite disappointed about was pricing, and fact that even though it’s not in their special burger menu set, it didn’t apply to lunch meal deal?! Why? Total with chips & soda £17+ 🙃please include it in your lunch deal.

Very pleasant. Tasty and delightful staff. Once you know what you want they deliver

As my gran would say “When your grandad was auditioning for the job he would take me to a pleasant little intimate restaurant. They had delightful burgers and he got the job because he knew what I liked”

Stopped by for an early dinner on my way from the airport - really good food. Service was very quick but it was also near empty so may differ. Cute decor and cocktail offers available, as well as student discount lunch deals.

Our lamb and chicken is Halal at all locations. Our beef is Halal at Kingly and James St.

Patty&Bun

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Bank

Popped in here for a burger, chips and a beer and I was really impressed. Staff friendly, chilled vibes and the burger itself (cheeseburger) was very tasty. Rosemary chips also decent, and a good size portion. And good value for money in area where that isn’t always the case. Will be back!

Strangely empty, especially given the burgers and sweet potato fries and dipping sauces are so good. Really enjoyed the food and the service was great. Definitely worth popping in for.

Let me start off by saying the place itself is cute; food is great I had the tribute burger with their truffle fries. The onion rings needed more seasoning. Our waiter Gregory was great but his partner who was a woman who wore a pink hair clip gave us attitude for them adding an extra item to our bill when we didn’t even order it and instead of taking it back decided to slam it on the table. Other then the rude waitress with the pink hair clip this place was a good choice.

Great and quiet place for a good dinner and to taste a good variety of beers. We enjoyed some Trappist beers while having some Mussels and Belgian-like beef stew. The staff was kind and helpful. We'll be back for sure!

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider.

Honest Burgers

Mexican flavours and modern influences; serving up tacos, burritos & more

DF Tacos x Market Halls Canary Wharf

I was honestly surprised to see the low ratings. My tacos were quick, reasonably priced, and delicious. Only complaint is tacos should be on corn tortillas and the flour ones used were not the freshest. Then again, I lived in Mexico for awhile so am picky about my tacos. 🤷‍♂️

My go-to taco place in Canary Wharf - SO tasty and such a cool space for both a quick lunch break and after work drinks. I recommend the buttermilk chicken tacos!

Delicious tacos. Recommend the plantain. Potentially the best in London. Quick and convenient. I’ll be back

Was lovely. Had the buttermilk was beautiful Let’s go !!!!! 🚀🚀🚀

Worst customer experience I've had with DF!! I've been waiting in line for 10 mins only to be told once my turn that they were not taking orders for 15 mins. Really bad customer service!! Love the tacos though.

The chicken we use in every DF is now halal-certified! However, we must highlight that we do also sell non-halal menu items in our business, including pork and non-halal beef. The chicken is prepared separately but we would rather customers notify us if cross contamination is a concern so we can be extra vigilant, clean surfaces and change gloves, etc. If you have further questions about this, please reach out to us.

DF Tacos

DF Tacos - Shoreditch

One of the best ‘Cheap Eats’ in London. Tasty tacos, quick service and nice staff! Recommend the chicken buttermilk tacos.

Tip: They offer student discount - so don’t forget to ask if you are a student

For a quick bite to eat of some tasty Mexican food whilst exploring the Spitalfields area and beyond, this certainly did the job. You scan that table to order and have a variety of sauces to get to spice up your food to your own taste.

There's an options for some unlimited juices but I had a Modelo, one of a few lagers they serve.

Food was tasty and very filling so maybe don't get too carried away with your order, you can always get more if you're still hungry. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst

Didn't have to wait that long to be served, food came quite quickly as well. Some of the tacos better than others but overall really tasty and filling. My favourite was cheese&steak tacos, yummy!

Stumbled upon this spot not far from Brick Lane. The tacos were really good and the drinks were good too. I found it a little on the pricier end (70£ for two people) especially as portions were small, but worth checking out at least once

First time eating here and I was completely shocked by how good it is. I had the Steak burrito which is a pretty decent size portion. It comes with rice, beans, slaw, cheese and salsas. Also with tomatillo salsa and pickled cucumber. It's very tasty and if you add some habanero sauce, it makes it even better. I also had some plantain tacos because I was starving and these were incredible. I thought Wahaca had the best plantain tacos in this city but wow, these topped them. They come with slaw, feta, crema and smoky salsa. So good, tasty and generous portion. I'd recommend this place 100% as it's a perfect tex mex place. I paid £17 for these two dishes, so pretty affordable too.

Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Westfield Stratford City

I haven’t been to Nando’s for probably close to 6-8 years. I remember the portions being large and everything being super tasty. We ordered a platter for two and it was the biggest disappointment. Fries are way too hard and so average. Corn nothing to write home about, same with broccoli. Chicken was alright but portion was way too small. Safe to say if I don’t go to Nando’s for another 6-8 years, it won’t be missed.🍗

Bustling but they will get to you swiftly, staff was quick to get us to a table during bank holiday when it was busy

I noticed that the staff was more attentive but patient and helpful despite how busy it was

Food took just 15 minutes to arrive and it was very hot!

The staff were amazing on my visit, props to them

Went there on a busy Friday night, amazing food ,amazing cosy busy vibe….also the host Mr.Shreyas was brilliant, working fast and really communicated very well! Good to see a good team leading a restaurant and keeping its reputation at top, good luck Shreyas and team.
🥂 🥂cheers

It was super crowded the weekend we were there. Queue went by fast.

Unfortunately our peri peri chicken were quite dry, was not as tasty as how we knew it. The sides especially mashed potatoes were dry as well.

Excellent experience as usual 👌
Good food , efficient service.
Halal food.
Great staff.

Nando's

Loaded Gourmet Burgers And Fries

Nice little Burger joint, well decorated and has a good range of foods. I had the nacho fries which were very tasty, cheesy, and a little spicy. The buffalo wings were okay, they were crispy but that was just the crunchy batter on them, there wasn't much meat. They'd be better off with a nice blue cheese dip than a sour cream to pair with the buffalo wings.

Overall nice though, with very good service and friendly polite staff.

Munir who served me done an excellent job with his customer service. Me and my colleague came into the restaurant and he came from behind the till to greet us and seat us.

The food was nice, but I am a harsh critic… so I would say the flavour of the wings (Texas bbq) was really nice, however lacked some depth. Food was cooked well and the passion fruit daiquiri??? Wheeewww!! I would come again for that ALONE!

Good stuff man, solid 4 stars.

Dude don’t go here. I went here for dinner and I now have food poisoning. Liquid fire flows from my bum. Food was mid as well. Consume at your own risk

Halal (HMC) burgers: grab a lunchtime special (daily between 12pm and 5pm) starting from just £5.00 for a burger, fries and soft drink. Good value!

Never visited their Dalston branch but restaurant was completely empty for a Friday night. We were the only customers. We ordered the chicken wings as a starter and burgers for main course but they were about to serve us everything together until my husband explained that we wanted a starter as a starter.

Chicken wings were ok but nothing special and the burgers just didn't hit the spot. The meat was dry and nothing succulent and juicy. Don't think we'll return to this branch.

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Loaded Burgers

🔴 @grandtrunk_road 🔴 Located in South Woodford
.
A hidden gem of east London. And a spot that is on Michelin guide. We are getting a lot of renowned chefs from central London, in East London. Half the stuff members are from the famous Tamarind. Food reflects the idea of the journey of grand trunk road, which is the longest road covering India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even Afghanistan. The menu has a little bit of all of these with the modern touch
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Peshwari Lamb Chops (£28.50)
🔳 Lahori Murgh Kebab (£17.95)
🔳 Awadhi Dum Gosht Biryani (£21.95)
🔳 Amritsari Butter Chicken (£18.95)
🔳 Royal Lamb Shank (£21.95)
.
The peshwari lamb chops was spot on. High quality chops, excellent flavours plus tender and soft. Exactly how lamb chops meant to be. And french trimmed style chops tend to never disappoint. Defo must try 
.
Lahori Murgh Kebab is always a must order in most Indian places. As you can judge most chicken quality with these dishes. These were chicken thigh and it was excellent. Only thing would’ve wanted is more flavour element to it. Like thick flavour paste on the chicken.
.
Biryani was flavour town. It had all these flavours and aroma hitting my nose. Had small chunks of green chillis as well, as requested, as I love my spice. I love my saucy Biryanis but these again for pilao style Biryani was epic. This is the only Biryani dish they have and I can see why they are confident with the one
.
Butter chicken better than most other butter chicken. I know alot of place do tangy butter chicken which I personally don’t like. This had good flavours. And added spice to it and gave a little kick, it’s not the best I’ve had but defo a really tasty one
.
The royal lamb shank is slow cooked dish and  had a taste of Nihari to the gravy. I think the shank wasn’t cooked fully hence why it was abit tough on the outside. As I saw other videos, the meat pulled apart. Wasn’t the case on my shank unfortunately. Defo must’ve been a one off situation
.
All in all defo a great spot if you want central London quality food in east London. Service and all that as expected from a Michelin guide

@halalhunt's review of Grand Trunk Road South Woodford on Instagram

Grand Trunk Road

A real mixed bag ranging from sensational deserts to an awful pseudo biryani.
We went for a birthday celebration and this was a convenient location, saving us the trek into town.
Ambience and decor were conducive to fine dining. The tables were full but it was not noisy and no awful music.
One of our party has a serious shellfish allergy and they were very considerate about that.
The starters were very good. We got about 6 I think. Grilled chickens and fish. All the fish dishes were perfectly cooked.
We ordered truffle and mushroom naan which had no taste of truffle or mushroom. Very disappointing.
The major disappointment was the lamb biryani. This was not a biryani by any stretch, it was more like a pilaf. The lamb pieces contained inedible grissly bits which is unforgivable bearing in mind what they were charging for it.
The aubergine dish was right up my street.
The deserts were sensational. We ordered mango brulee and a weird sounding avocado and rose icecream, which is worth going back for again and again.
I also ordered a coffee which was surprisingly excellent.
This is a pricey place so they cannot serve substandard food if they want customers to return.

Service was absolutely amazing, couldn’t fault anyone at the shop. However the food on the other hand, the flavours didn’t satisfy my pallet. Flavours were alright, but nothing to scream about. Nice experience, but if you want pure flavour, better at a local spot.

Been twice, once many years ago and yesterday. Yesterday's meal was utterly scrumptious, packed with flavour. The set menu is excellent value although would forgo the dessert next time as it wasn't so good.

Chicken 2 way was excellent as was the lamb ghost. Ordered an extra peshawari naan as it doesn't come with many peices per person with the set menu. This too was high end naan. If I'm being critical the poppadom portion is very small.

Overall a great dining experience. Service is attentive and friendly.

Service was excellent, the starters were top class. However the main was not great at all. The lamb biryani had no taste and was boring a baby can eat that no spice. The chicken tava was not great at all. Overall I gave it 3 stars due to the very expensive bill and the main was bad.

This amazing michelin starred restaurant gave me an extraordinary service as well as exquisite meals.. huge variety of the menus + staffs are very knowledgeable on what to recommend with a courtesy. Thanks for the amazing experience and I hope to visit again soon.

Burgers crafted from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients 

#invite The era of the make-your-own-burger just got a new friend!

Have you ever wished there was a halal five guys in London? Look no further as we might have the spot for you. We were invited to @andysburgers_uk to try out their food and as soon as we stepped in we got a five guys vibe- a modern looking burger joint with an almost limitless customisation of your burger.

First and foremost, credit where credit is due, they make everything in house! And this is truly amazing when you see the vast array of toppings options they have- there is something for everyone. The chance of having a great burger is really at your own finger tips as you make it what you want it to be. 
We got the chicken burger with lettuce, truffle mayo, fried mushrooms and cheese, which turned out to be an epic combo! And also got the double beef burger with tobacco onions, fried onions, special sauce and mayo! We weren’t too fond of the beef burger but this may just be a personal preference as we prefer smashed burgers or full on gourmet burgers rather than an in between, definitely felt that the chicken fillet in the chicken burger edged it. We also tried their hand cut fries which were just the perfect compliment with the burgers.

Another unique thing about this place is that they offer some great drink flavours that are exclusive to them. We were lucky enough to try a special mix by the manager there called Nathan, which boasted some exotic flavours 🍍🥭🍓 Overall, definitely a great burger spot where we will be returning for sure; next time to try the cod fish burger 😋! Food: 8/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Andy's Burgers Mile End on Instagram

Massive thank you to @andysburgers_uk for gifting me this amazing cod burger meal to try a while ago. I was invited to the kitchen to watch my meal being prepared and was run through how everything is freshly made including the cheese and tartare sauce. Believe you me this was THE best cod burger I’ve ever tried and the dirty fries were also AMAZING!

I’d first visited when @andysburgers_uk started up and found the chicken burger meal impressive but have been taken back by how quickly they have improved the quality of the burgers - they truly are bangin!

Andy’s Burgers- Mile End

Okay so I’m sure a lot of you have seen me post about Andy’s from when they kinda first opened & all that but I haven’t been in a long time, I happened to be in the area for work stuff & thought I’d grab a quick lunch from there.

My toppings were as follows: Cheese (obviously, they make in-house too), jalapeños, piquante peppers, tobacco onions & truffle Mayo.

Side I got the loaded fries which comes with beef bacon which I believe they make in-house as well now, tobacco onions, cheese, jalapeños & chipotle Mayo.

Loaded fries were bloody amazing btw, for me I couldn’t find a fault with it.

Burger wasn’t the same as I remember as the patties were slightly over cooked, but then again it was super busy even at lunch time, but thankfully the toppings I had saved it & that cheese is just ridiculously creamy honestly.

What toppings do you guys normally get from here?

If you get ketchup on it pls refrain from commenting

@eafoodbae's review of Andy's Burgers Mile End on Instagram

Andy's Bangin' Burgers

10/10 service for W. Looked after me and my family very well and gave us amazing banter.

Triple Smash burger was spot on just didn’t love the pickles as they weren’t tangy.

Chips were good. Loaded chips were not as good as they had no beef bacon so was just extremely saucy chips.

Chicken strips are good and fresh but maybe a little kick to the seasoning to elevate it

Sauces were nice too

One of the most delicious burgers you'll find  in London, high quality ingredients and combination of saucy condiments make creations endless, rustic chips give you that good meal feel, owners are great people combined with a professional team, they give you that good customer service. Enjoy that juicy burger, thank me later.

Small burger store with lovely fresh made burgers.
Saw it on Google Maps and we thought we give it a shot.
Totally can recommend the double beef burger with fried onions and the mango drink.
Fries could be a little bit crispier but they were still good.
Would come here again
