Excellent service. I cant think of anyone else for electrical work at my property. Called them twice. Setting up Security cameras and fixing couple of chandeliers. Did the job to perfection. Very polite and humble but very professional. I highly recommend. Keep up the good work

I am extremely pleased with the service YES ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS Facilities provided from beginning to end. The gentleman was very polite, gracious and took the time to explain the work to be carried out in very good terms. He was tremendously clean and left no mess after he was finished. For all future work i highly recommend them to family and friends.

I visited Sahara Grill Gants Hill for a dinner with my partner. It was a lovely and scrumptious dinner with lovely drinks. I ordered the Mex Border burger which was tantalising on the tastebuds and my partner ordered a succulent ribeye steak with picante sauce. We were served by a lovely waiter by the name of Nazrul,, was extremely well mannered and welcoming.

I visited with my wife and kids today and it's a perfect place to eat for family and freinds. All staff were very attentive especially the front of house staff member who was extremely welcoming. I had the Angus beef short ribs as my main and it was delicious. Very tender and flavoured perfectly. My son really liked the gravy and sauces that accompanied the dishes. Will definitely be coming again.

Food was delicious and portions of the sharing platters comfortably accommodated three adults and two children. We had the buffalo wings, the sauce was spicy and piquant, really delicious. We also had the saute combo sharing platter and beef fajitas. Salaam cola was also on the menu, so of course we grabbed the opportunity to have an ethical cola. We were also given a complimentary house chilli sauce. Which was hot and delicious a great accompaniment to the dishes. Bathrooms were pleasant and clean (always a big plus), the hand soap was attached a bit low but we managed to use it fine. Last but not least, service was amazing, Nazrul was kind and pleasant, he went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. The main attraction for the kids was the robot waiter which bought the dishes to the table, she spoke and got annoyed when other customers stood in her way! All in all we left stuffed and happy.

We visited this place on a Thursday for a yearly catch up. We spent the entirety of our evening at the bar, where we ordered a variety of starters and wines/cocktails. Our server Frankie was very polite and made us feel very welcome. Look forward to returning & would highly recommend.

From one restaurant owner to another… We visited this place on Wednesday to stop for a quick lunch and can I just say this place was out of this world amazing! The food cooked so freshly, we had to take some away home to share with others. Fantastic place, we recommend this place to everyone! Thank you to the team!

I came from Moldova when I was 17 5 years later this restaurant reminds me of home eating cabbage and potatoes in my village. My husband Vladimir Dorin loves deep fried potatoes with cabbage and mayonnaise. I will be back for my sister in laws birthday as she holds a special place in my heart, she loves the pork neck. See you soon

As always i am doing my review as honest as i can. The restaurant is made following modern art, using leds light and last hour technology and architecture (not vintage style). The owners are friendly and cooperative always trying to satisfy the clients needs. The staff all night when i was there was always in the place to be ready to offer you all the help you need. Another top aspect : very clean inside, clean toilet. About the food can't find any issues. I had visited over 70 restaurants in London and around and i can say that the starter is in my top 3 of most delicious taste combination. Suitable for halal meal, vegetarians and meat lovers. Alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, good real beans coffee. Good parties, they can provide live music or dj. As a minus ( i said i will be honest) is the issue with car park. But if you are visiting after 18:00 there is no problem parking for free on the next left street. I recommend 100%. Keep up the good work Moldova Restaurant!!!

Came here last night after seeing good reviews and needing somewhere to eat last minute. The main thing to remember here is that it isn't an authentic Turkish place, they have a twist which is South Asian. We purchased the first 40 pound platter shown on the menu to share between two adults and a child, we had enough left over to have as lunch the next day. Flavours were really nice, a bit more spicy than traditionally used in turkish food but, the place is popular. We arrived around 6 to an empty place and by 6.30, every table was filled. My favorite thing was the spicy bread given as a starter. It was divine! The ribs had more fat than meat but overall, everything was nice. It would have been nice to have been offered some complimentary Turkish tea etc at the end and the salad at the beginning was a bit lacklustre. Service is really nice. They're very good with children. Overall, a nice place and would recommend with the above things mentioned.

Ordered the sharing item. £40. But when the food came felt like overpriced. But food tasted great. Went on weekends so pretty busy and had to sit down first in the backroom where from its nearby window smoke smell was coming and it was cold in there. Which made us request them to give a seat to the other room.

A great take on Turkish food with a South Asian twist. Usually fusion food leads to competing flavours, but Adana has achieved something great here. The favour when ordering spicy variants tastes natural - as if the spice was a part of the original recipe. Great service, as well, throwing in a few starts whilst waiting for the main dish.

I been come here for so many years with my friends and family. I have been to many fine dinning places in different countries and have food business myself. But hands down this place’s food is so good- all freshly made that you can tell in very bite. Even their bread is freshly made with some sauce on top (highly recommend their home made chilly sauce) We got the platter for 2 on the menu and it’s so much food with drinks included. What stands out even more is their hospitality the staff are so friendly especially Adnan bhai, I always recommend them to my friends & family. The atmosphere is so friendly & welcoming 10/10!

Hidden Gem! Had an amazing dining experience at the lounge area. The food was fresh, succulent with a fusion twist. The best Turkish fusion. I highly recommend the chicken wings platter and the lamb chops. The service was excellent. Will definitely come back. The manager accommodated us with our last minute booking. The lounge was perfect for our big family and privacy. Food and service was delightful!

We visited the restaurant on Boxing Day, so the footfall didn’t seem as busy when we arrived around midday. We were promptly seated, and our orders were taken. The service was quick and pleasant overall. Atmosphere and decor were ok with the standard, “Instagrammable” flower walls and trees. Nothing wrong with such decor, but it does feel a bit overdone now. What I was pleasantly surprised by was the music. These days, most newly opened restaurants are often run by the younger generation, and the music is usually loud and bass-heavy. However, here, the music was instrumental and kept at a perfect volume, allowing us to have conversations without being drowned out by the background music. Our food arrived relatively quickly. I ordered the American breakfast, while my wife ordered the Hashtag breakfast. My breakfast came with Nutella, even though I hadn’t specifically requested it and it wasn’t listed on the menu. Perhaps it’s standard since I chose pancakes. I think it would be better if Nutella was optional, as I’ve never had an American breakfast with it before and I didn’t have it. Overall, the food was nice, the portion sizes were good, and food was fresh, especially the eggs. I’d definitely visit this place again and maybe try something different from their menu.

Had a hashtag breakfast with extra toast and a tropical smoothie. Everything was amazing and tasted great. It was a lot of food and a great price of £20 all together which is very reasonable and cheaper than most places.

I recommend the Spiced Hot Chocolate, and the Cha Sha blend. We’ve also had the samosa chaat and it was really good (it has a yummy mint base which is a change from the average on Ilford lane). We come here often with friends and honestly, it’s a really lovely and comfortable place. They do a lovely range of mojitos and desserts also, definitely recommend! 👍

We were passing by and came across this shop as it looked different from the outside. We walked in and wow, the decor it seem nice and had a cosy feel. We ordered the Cha Sha special along with other chai's. I paid extra for the branded pot cup and this was something unusual. We didn't eat as it was early morning however the menu looked appealing. The Tea was nice too. If your also passing buy, deffo give them a visit.

Very busy on Saturday night. There was 8 of us and we had booked a table but it seemed they were struggling to get people out who had finished their food so people waiting could sit down. The food came fairly quick which was good and the food was alright, a some items such as the lamb curry were quite spicy which overpowered the flavour. Biryani was good and service was also good, however i think the management is in rush to get people in and out quick to clear tables for the many people congregating by the front door

I recently visited Saffron Street to celebrate my friend birthday, and overall, it was a delightful experience! The ambiance was fantastic, with a lively yet relaxed vibe that set the perfect mood for a special occasion. It was clear that the restaurant put a lot of thought into creating an inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing! Each dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The service was also top-notch. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening. Their warm hospitality truly added to the overall experience. However, despite having made an advance booking, we had to wait around 40 minutes to be seated. This was a bit frustrating, especially for a planned celebration. I would suggest that Saffron Street review their reservation and seating process to avoid such delays, as it would greatly improve the overall dining experience.

Excellent restaurant which we visited for my son's birthday dinner. Food was tasty and well presented, service was very good too and staff were helpful. Only thing is, it does get very busy so be sure to book before visiting as waiting time can be an hour on weekends.

I always wanted to go somewhere and try a bit of everything. A bit like a tapas but a South Asian version. This place was exactly the thing I was looking for. The flavours and the quality are really good. Everything we ordered was cooked very well and came out in a timely manner. The chicken lollipop are a must if you're into you fried chicken. I recommend the saucy over the dry. The baklava sandwich is also very good The service was great and the atmosphere was bustling (but in a good way) as it's open and spacious. The cost of the food is on par with other restaurants. Kid friendly as they have high chairs. There's a car park nearby. I would highly recommend this place

I’m usually a critic when it comes to food, but I have to be honest , this place is real good, my first time but deffo not last, the quality of ingredients is top notch, food is tasty, excellent modern Indian restaurant that is worth every penny! Service was a little miss but that’s because of very busy on a Tuesday, so maybe have a bit more staff/servers if super busy. But being busy on Tuesday tells you a story, right. We will be going again and again and again……! Oh and the Sebastian cheesecake actually slaps 👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoy visiting this place for its comfortable decor offering a vibrant dining experience. The food has a unique traditional flavours inspired with a contemporary twist in their Indian cuisines. Only true critique would have to be the curries portion sizes are the smallest ever across wish there was more in the dish but cannot fault the presentation ever.

Really loved the vibe of this place. It was my first time at an exclusively vegetarian restaurant. After going through the extensive menu, settled for a masala dosa. The free chutney refill was a pleasant treat. Ordered a pina colada which I felt had too much pineapple. Needed more coconut milk in it. The service was good and didn’t have to wait long for food. Will be visiting again to try more dishes.

Really tasty pure vegetarian meals in a comfy place. Prices per item are reasonable. Whilst there is a wide variety from the menu to choose from, i always go back for the good old favourites of mine...masala dosa and chilli pander and gobi 65. The jug of mango lassi is so satisfying 😌 We sat chatting away beyond the average 2-hour time slot that other restaurants impose. That is definitely a plus for this very popular chain of restaurants. We left feeling full and very satisfied.
