Halal Reviews for Madina Grill Poplar

Went there for Lunch. Nice atmosphere. Lots of selection on the menu, however not everything was available during lunch. Ordered Chicken Tikka Biriyani and Mix Grill Twist. No Dhal available with biriyani and no wings available with mixed grill twist. (Extra lamp chop was given instead) Ordered passion fruit mojitos but was served the regular mojitos. The biriyani was nice, however the side dish (veg curry was very dry). The chicken from the mixed was really good however the lambs chops were chewy and tough. Overall the food was just above average and price the was reasonable.

Food was delicious as usual. Ordered the mix grill twist. They are very hospitable people and have a nice seating area downstairs. We had leftover at the end which we packed up for takeaway and they were kind enough to also add in extra salad etc to have with it.

Lovely space downstair enough space to accommodate over 30+ people. Lovely decor, clean and tidy. The service was very good. Service was great and very professional. Great range of drink, starters and main meals. We had our Shoreditch Football Club football awards and service was excellent. We order a mixed meal specially tailored for our pallet and was great value for money meal and drink. The food was hot, tasty and really yummy. A great evening with great company and great food. Will be back again soon. Thank you

Worst experience. Avoid at all cost!!!! 1. Staff member was rude. Despicable attitude when i was asking a few questions. Immediately put me off! 2. I came with my family members, and I had requested the staff to give is the booth as we had 6/7 people. He refused to give it to us because 'it would take time to clean up the table'. Even though the entire restaurant was empty, we could have sat anywhere really, but I insisted for the booth, eventually he cleaned it up for us. 3. Cash only - they only pick and choose who can pay by cash and who by card. 4. They wouldn't allow us to split the bill because, and i quote, 'it will take us too long'..... they had no customers!!!! They had all the time in the world!!!!! 5. We requested tap water. They bought us 6 glasses and a jug of water. The glasses smelt sooooo bad, my sister moved the glasses to another table. The bad smell of the glasses had actually made us gag. We had asked the staff member for cleaner glasses, where his response was 'The cloth hasn't been washed for many days, that's why the glasses smell. If i bring new glasses, they will smell the same'. We had no new glasses. We had no drinking water. It was shocking he had admitted to us that they use dirty cloth to wipe their glasses!!!! Disgusting! 6. 3 of us had ordered burger meals. To hold the burgers together, a bamboo/skewer stick was used. So what happened was, a long skewer stick was broken in half, and each half was used to hold 2 burgers. The broken side of the skewer stick was inside the burger. My sister took a bite of the burger, and she had bitten a splinter which had almost cut her tongue! I've added picture to show how large the splinters were! If she had swallows the splinter, or bit it harder, she could have seriously damaged her throat.

Tasty, quick, affordable, great service. Plenty of seating at lunch time. Better price and quality balance than many local options nearby. Glad I found it today!
