Yummy Yummy.
I love their Burgers and their recipe. My recent order as usual food was delicious and yummy. Staff behaviour was really friendly and helpful. They guide me good and restaurant was clean and tidy.
Highly Recommended

Disgusting overpriced food. Absolutely do not recommend and the lady who served us was very rude. The only decent thing was chicken nuggets and fries. The photo of burger I have shared is of a burger which is no form of chicken in my opinion. One of the worst food I have experienced.very very disappointed.

In response to the owner's reply, the male member of staff  offered to get another burger when we showed him the pink, uncooked burger, but i would not risk it and requested for a partial refund instead which would have been fair. He refused saying that he does not have the authority to do that and asked me to leave my phone number for the owner to contact me. What good is that going to do us when we travelled one hour to go to this place, and ending up getting such horrible food. Also the burger owner is referring to, yes, i did ask the lady before ordering that is this processed meat and she said yes, but at no point she mentioned "buttermilk", as stated by the owner's reply. Whatever it was, it was disgusting and i honestly do not recommend any burgers from this place. As i already said in my reviews the chicken nuggets and fries were ok. I have taken time to explain everything in detail to save other people from having the awful experience we ended up having.

Great place, food quality is very good and tasty! Selection of drinks including tango ice blast. Burgers are all delicious!

My meal cost me £6.28. I got a breakfast roll, fries and a coffee.
At first glance I feel as though the price is expensive, especially since the coffee is small, but the fries were a good portion as was the roll. Taste wise, the roll was nice but the beef was a bit salty. The fries were cold and the coffee tasted funny as though they used powdered milk.

Absolutely appalled and disgusted at the quality of the food I received, clearly no care was taken in making my order as soon after my order arrived pit stop had closed, so clearly my order was rushed. Pit stop should be embarrassed by the way they prepared my order and ashamed that they think the way my burger was prepared was acceptable to serve to customers, absolute shambles. My first time ordering from these guys, never again. Will be leaving a google review as my reviews get hundreds of views, I have local guide status in the Ilford area. If anyone is going to order from Pit Stop they best ensure they do not do it a good hour or two before they close otherwise you will be served with leftovers. I have taken pictures of the state my burger arrived in. These guys are supposed to do fairly premium burgers, I’m better off buying a burger for two quid from your basic chicken and chips shop than pay the £9 I did for this joke of a meal. Also, they did not provide two cheese slices and not anywhere near enough onions as described in their prep duct description, no sign of mustard either, absolutely horrendous

UPDATE:
In response to my original review the restaurant clearly has low standards when it comes to the presentation of their food. Even though I have attached images, they have not addressed the poor state in which my food was delivered and prepared. I have never encountered such bad customer service! Will never be ordering from them again.

Everything on our menu is Halal. We are HMC certified, the certificate is in the window.

Hey everyone. Been away as I was unwell, I'm better now so for fathers day I took the family to @centralounge a Indian restaurant located in Ilford

Here's what I ordered 

Chilli Paneer £8.15
Avocado chaat £7.25
Pani Puri £5.80
Sticky Lamb Chops £10.85
Butter Chicken £9.95
Lamb Shank £14.95
Lamb Biryani £12.50
Keema Naan £3.65
Butter Naan £2.75
Ocean Blue £6.50
Elderflower & pear £6.50

In general the food was good, some dishes worked well and some need work. My favourite items were the Chill Panner, crispy texture in a tasty sauce. The lamb Biryani was enjoyable and had good portions of lamb, it was a bit sticky in texture but I like it like that and the flavours were balanced and tasty. 

The butter chicken had velvety smooth sauce and was really tasty, with perfectly cooked chicken and sauce with good depth in flavour. The lamb shank also had a rich and balanced sauce and the lamb feel apart with no effort at all. 

The lamb chops however were over cooked, which meant it was tough and chewy. If I was a paying customer I would of sent that back, I could only sample one bite, I didn't like the taste of the sticky sauce either. 

They did serve me a 🥑 chaat that was rotten, that could pass with a btec food blogger but I clocked that straight away. Sadly for my wife she was the victim of soggy nasty avocado. They did take it away and bring me a new one, but it came at the end of the meal so I took it home. The new one with fresh avocado was actually delicious. It's a shame they got it wrong the first time. 

Drinks and food came with a somewhat forced dry ice show for the table, but I'll take anything that will get me the likes. Drinks were okay, I didn't like the Elderflower it was bitter but the ocean blue was nice. 

Finished the meal with a average freakshake but the chocolate cake wasn't too bad. 

Service was good and overall this is a decent place to check out. It's more casual lunch/dinner than anything fancy, but there's there's a free car park on site. 

Alcohol is served. All food is halal with certification available. My meal was complimentary.

Central Restaurant and Lounge

We had a lunchtime birthday gathering for about 30 people, the food along with the service was top class, nothing was any problem, we were dedicated 3 staff who kept taking drinks orders and bringing out hot food. As we had agreed a food package deal, That was great value.
The food was amazing. We had mixed vegetarian and meat Dishes.
The whole experience we and all our guests had was simply faultless and all had a great time.  Again the food and service was top class.
We will be visiting The central Restaurant again for sure.

If you wish to spend an evening out with family and friend then this is the best place great ambiance great customer service and most of  all delicious food, presentation 10/10. Food have never disappointed me. Highly recommend. They also have private parking.

Had our daughter’s 1st b’day here. And also being a regular customer from the last three years.
Food above all, is the 1st go to thing, followed by bar & private parking.
And If this is not enough, the staff is very friendly and polite.
Would definitely recommend everyone to try this place.

Regards,
A happy customer who will always come back.👍🏻

Visited Central Restaurant, last night, with friends and family. Thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine (starters and main course). Excellent range of choice and very tasty. The host was only too pleased to cater for the varied needs, taste wise, of our group. The ambience was spot on, given we were meeting after a long time due to C-19 restrictions. The restaurant and staff had all the necessary H&S precautions in place and the service matched the high quality of food / choice.
Definitely will be returning..... Soon!

Really nice place for a night out. The food was incredible for the price, I've been to other places that have been more expensive and the food has been worse so very happy with the prices. I came with my wife and young child and although the music was a bit too loud it wasn't over the top. Very nice vibe to the place and I would definitely go again. And it's nice to go to a place that has on site parking so you don't have to drive around for ages trying to find a parking spot.

Avoid this place guys. The Asian lady is rude also in the cashier. This is disgusting pizza. It used to be good. The environment is not good staff talking too loudly, rude, uneducated and extremely not a good place to enjoy food. The pizza is not cooked properly and the price is overpriced. I am not going there again. I would rather choose branded pizza company to order pizza.

This is the most disgusting and humiliating food industry cheating the public, which I had  never expected from this law-abiding country. I ordered for a full tandoori chicken with large french fries,after reaching home when I opened the parcel box,to my great shock and surprise I such a thin and low quality potato french fries which I had never seen in the entire London. I feel that griller management is  intentionally and deliberately cheating the customers with such low quality food.

Scam artists
They advertised buy one get one free on pizzas yet charge full amount. They don't have a complaint process and lie to you that they don't have a manager you can complain to. If there is no manager then obviously complaints should be sent to the owner but they refuse. No apologies, no refund, and they even refuse to provide a receipt.

AVOID!!!!!

Amazing pizzas and good price.
Peri peri burger has a generous size chicken fillet inside.
Almost always they will get your order wrong or won't be ready on time. I always call in advanced and most of the time the pizzas are not ready or even in the oven yet. They either need additional staff or a front store manager that commands and keeps everything smooth. If they don't sort the problem out I can see them loosing customers rapidly. Hopefully they will as the food is amazing.

Original above review from 2020.

Update 2022: HMC halal certificate was revoked so I won't be going again.

Horrible food, wings smelt awful. Definitely the worst fish burger I have ever had. I am surprise this shop is still in business, definitely needs to be investigated food quality is terrible.

A fully Halal cafe serving breakfast to the people of Ilford.

It's the weekend. Which means time for a cheeky breakfast. Here's the English and desi breakfast from @fatcafeuk .

Simple food, the interiors are bright and clean. Parking is a bit annoying. Both meals £6.95 each .

Remember to check the blog for a comprehensive list and review of other halal breakfast places in town .

Do you have a favourite spot for breakfast? I tend to make it at home myself these days. Since I've mastered how to make a perfect hollandaise sauce! .

Enjoy the weekend people!

@halalfoodguy's review of Fat Cafe Goodmayes on Instagram

Another weekend, Another New Halal Breakfast Cafe, located in Goodmayes, East London. A new Halal cafe @fatcafeuk offers up some tasty and value for money halal breakfast options. Pictured is the desi breakfast £6.50 and the full English £6.95 .

The interiors are clean, modern and family/kid friendly. Parking available on nearby streets.

Fat Cafe

Great service, great tasting food, quick and efficient, free parking nearby, nice staff, has a slush machine too

Good halal cafe with English and desi style options. I had a full English which was very nice. The portions are massive and can be easily shared.

I got the full English and it was honestly below mediocre. Nothing tasted fresh and the cappuccino was probably made with a sachet.

Toast wasn't toasted properly or buttered well. Mushrooms, eggs and sausage didn't taste very fresh and sausage was overcooked. 

4/10

Excellent place- lovely quick food and decent prices!! Decent opening times!

Downside it’s a bit to small but oh well

I absolutely do not want to give a bad review. I think this place has potential. But please keep in mind customer's feedback. 
° please make fresh parantha. I could make the frozen one myself at home. I was so disappointed.
° omelettes lack flavour big time. I was expecting onions, coriander, chillies and some special spice. But it was so bland and without salt and pepper.
° the big mac type  of burgers had no lettuce and was pretty boring.

On the plus side: the keema curry was pretty tasty.

I do believe you have potential. Perhaps you need to sit down and talk about how you can enhance flavours and run the place effectively. The omelette could easily have been jazzed up with green chillies and a pinch of jeera seeds and crushes garlic ginger. Also, pleeeeeease make fresh parantha.
