Food: Delicious and fresh with a creative twist on classic dishes. The kebab was juicy. Service: Friendly and attentive staff. Our server was quick, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. Price: Moderately priced; good value for the quality and portion sizes, Great spot for a casual, flavorful meal. Would definitely return!

I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. We ordered the chicken shawarma, which was not only flavorful but also surprisingly large for just £4—great value for money. Unfortunately, they had run out of lamb, but the generous portions more than made up for it. We also tried the homemade Ayran, which was refreshing and authentic. To our delight, we were promptly served complimentary lentil soup upon sitting down. It was wholesome and delicious, adding to the wonderful experience. The entire meal came to only £12.50, which was amazing given the quality and portions. We arrived just before closing time, but the staff never rushed us or made us feel unwelcome—they were patient and kind throughout. I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu!

The best place ever to eat very fresh Kurdish dishes. Authentic and very very delicious. We tried ourselves many dishes and everything was just outstanding. The owner is very welcoming, polite and making great atmosphere. The service is also always great. We enjoyed to come here many times and recommend everyone to try this place. You will not be regretting.

Nali is a must-visit for anyone who loves flavorful food and warm hospitality. The lamb shank, kebabs, and rice were perfectly cooked, full of rich, authentic Turkish flavours. The service was exceptional, with staff making us feel truly welcomed. An all-around fantastic dining experience!

Really worth the visit ! Travelled over an hour as this place was hugely recommended for it suya. When we got there is was busy and you could tell it was a really loved and local spot for the community. Although there were no seats on arrival the lovely young women who welcomed us were able to seat us in the 30 minutes that they had speculated to us in the first instance. The food was to tasty, the portions were perfect. The menus was simple and effective! It was also so nice to see young people (possibly 18- 25) working at this establishment it's refreshing seeing toing people given positive opportunities to be a part of society . The only issue woth atmosphere was the music was a tad bit too loud for us but the owner took this feedback positively and was able to turn down the volume on request

My husband and I went down to Suya hut with our friends. We had an amazing time, the food was yummy, the atmosphere was serene and the service was the best part of my experience. The owner is so kind and thoughtful. It was definitely a taste of Nigeria, the Suya was delicious and the Asun was yummy. The highlight of the evening was the Suya shawarma, it was heavenly. We dined in and had takeaways.

If you're looking for Halal traditional cafe food with great service this is your place! We got the set breakfast (Number 2) and a half pounder meal. The food was a good old classic style munch, nothing fancy but on point. The service was the best bit, the gentleman that took our order was very accommodating as we requested for the Halal option and for the food to be delivered at a specific time. It was timed well and was delivered fresh/hot which we really appreciated.

Hubby and I visited this restaurant for lunch yesterday and we were not disappointed. Service was faultless, the food was delicious and the De Roya Punch cocktails were expertly made. We both had the cheese rolls to start followed by the crispy chicken burger. Everything was reasonably priced and everywhere was spotlessly clean. We shall definitely be back.

I visited this restaurant for a birthday dinner. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. They managed to accommodate even the late comers to the party. The decor is picturesque and the food is filling and tasty. Couldn’t fault my experience other than parking and that’s not the restaurants fault; just be mindful.

I visited this restaurant today for a birthday celebration, and it was absolutely amazing! My parents had such a great time—they were singing and even dancing to the enjoyable music. The atmosphere was lively and so much fun, perfect for a celebration. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish exceeded our expectations. The restaurant also has plenty of space, which was great for accommodating our group. I’m already looking forward to coming back, not just for the food but for the wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend it!

We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and it was our first time at the restaurant. Decor was on point that we couldn’t resist taking pictures. Service was superb, food was delicious and yummy. The cocktails/mocktails were very nice. We had a good time, dancing to some Afrobeats music. De Roya is a cute spot to be!

Atmosphere was nice & the food was good too. Definitely recommend the Mac & cheese, 4 of us went & 4 of us got it as a side, we had to take it to go as we were full up by the mains. My main was the mixed shish which was okay tbh. It was served with a lot of salad but not much rice. Dessert options could be expanded. I got the vanilla icecream which I really wouldn’t recommend, it was just so basic & tasted very cheap (the portion was big though!). The staff were really lovely though, smiley & very attentive. Towards the end, there were additional things added onto our tab which we never would’ve realised as we planned on splitting the bill until a friend decided to pay separately and it caught my eye. It would’ve been an additional £30 but the man at the front was very understanding. Overall, despite a few nags, I would come here w friends/as a work party. Also cute photo taking opportunities throughout the restaurant.

great coffee and tiramisù wish the price reflected what's on the menu , aka what the cashier typed initially, 4.50 for a slice does feel too much but hey, energy crisis ... also cash only policy in 2022 leaves you with a bitter taste.

We waited awhile for our food to arrive, but they were really polite and kept us informed. The young gentleman offered us the custard tart on the house for the delay which was appreciated. Food was good, but i find I’m not blown away by Nandos anymore, the sauces are never as hot as advertised. The same young man was yelled at by a customer for delayed service, and he took it well - the customer was a little unfair with his approach. Garlic bread was a little dry. If you like Nandos, this is a great branch, good service.

I had a fantastic experience at Nando’s thanks to Sylvia, one of the team members. She was incredibly lovely, attentive, and very helpful throughout my visit. From the moment I arrived, Sylvia greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I had everything I needed. She was quick to offer suggestions from the menu and ensured my food arrived promptly. Her friendly and welcoming attitude really enhanced my dining experience. It’s clear she cares about providing excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back, thanks to Sylvia's outstanding service!

I have been to this Nandos a few times. The interior design is nice, it's also spacious and perfect for a large group of family and friends. It's very close to the station which is convenient. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was outstanding once again. The chicken was nicely done and all the sauces were available. Would highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, service was very good, she also was happy to take our group photos. Food was tasty, we were a party of four, we got a mixture of steaks, they were happy to recook some of the meat as my sister was not very keen with just medium. Definitely recommend the chum churry source to have with steak Easy to spot restaurant as they have a cow model outside.

this restaurant is a must-try, easily identifiable by the large pink cow positioned outside of the window. easy access with parking right next door in ASDA. Cristina’s thrives with their attentive service, all food and drinks served with a smile and helpful attitude. Their food and drinks are really the star of the show; mouth-watering dishes from starters to desserts - we left full but still ordered dessert to go! Their drinks were adventurous and exquisite, from a simple coffee to a barbie martini, Cristina’s has it all! Definitely recommend to anybody that enjoys steak (or vegetarian, they really have everything). Not cheap, but worth every penny!

Seen this place for years and finally tried out their lunch menu. The food was delicious and a great value for money. We both had the steak and frites plus the smashed burger to share. Both were flavourful and surprisingly it did not feel or taste oily or “junkie”. The service was a bit slow as there was only one waitress on the floor, but besides this the food was worth the wait (25-30mins). Would 100% recommend and come back.

The nutjob cheeseburger Is a must try. We had 2 burgers and both were delicious, so no complaints about food in my experience. The atmosphere was great as well as the service. The waiter did an amazin job. It's good that they have halal meats. The only thing that I really didn't like was the service charge (10%). I mean you are already paying quite a bit for the food and on top of that you get service charge, especially in an area like barking where there's no service charge at any restaurant. Overall a good experience and I would recommend to try it once.

Loved it here! Got introduced by our friends to this place as they are regulars here. I got the cornflake chicken burger and it was delicious, didn’t feel heavy at all. Had the perfect crunch. Fries served with the burgers were also nice. The pricing is pretty good as well we thought it’s well worth the visit. Happy diners will come back again!

The best coffee shop ☕️ my fav coffee shop. It's by a lake with an amazing view, its the perfect spot. I love coming here at all times esp in the mornings it's peaceful and calm, the staff are friendly and they work so hard. Its a family run buissness so respect to them. The shop makes a difference, for example you get some elderly people that are lonely (some I know) and they would come spend time in the place where its peaceful. 10/10

Nice cafe especially for families. Toys available for children to play with. Nice space at the back of the cafe for children to sit and play. Nice variety of food available, including lunch for children. Friendly staff. This cafe also runs a phonics session for children every Monday at 10am which is a lovely group. Cafe also used to run arts and crafts classes for kids although I’m not sure if they still run it now. Other classes such as buggy walks etc are advertised there. Nice atmosphere especially for parents who have children with them.
