I have tried smoked meat in many countries especially Canada but nothing compares to the smoked Ribs and Brisket from Holy Smokes BBQ. This spot is a lowkey hidden gem in East London and for the huge portions they give, it’s worth the price. The owner is also extremely hospitable and is there to make sure you have an amazing experience. If you live in London or you are visiting, I would highly recommend checking them out🙌

I think I found the best Halal BBQ place in London. I tried their 7 or 12-hour smoked rib, and it was amazing. The pickles were sweet, and juicy, and complemented the meat perfectly. The portion size was good, but halfway through eating, I only tasted the meat without any flavourings. I would still recommend trying out this place, although I don't think the prices are justified given the location and service. A single portion cost £24, and there was no seating available to enjoy your meal, which was the only downside.

We drove quite a long way to try this food, and when we arrived, we were shocked by the location. We didn’t expect to find any food shops in this area, as it looks like an industrial zone. However, I have to say the food was amazing, and we really enjoyed it. They were even open on Christmas Day, and we went back a second time to buy food for our Christmas meal at home, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. It’s definitely worth trying!

A spot we’ve been coming to a for a while and it does not disappoint. They’re known for doing amazing brisket. For me, the coffee barbecue sauce really this place up another level because the mid rib sandwiches was amazing. The ribs with the pickle always hits the spot and it’s perfect for someone who loves Smokey meats. The brisket loaded fries is some of the best loaded fries I’ve had creating the perfect experience.

I’ve been coming here ever since I’ve know them when they were at Hackney Wick. The quality has always stayed the same. The best of everything, Smash Burger, Loaded Brisket Fries, Brisket Burger, Short Ribs, Skin on Fries and ofcourse the items they regularly alternate bringing something new every so often. You will not be disappointed with the food. There are some seats outside, not ideal in my opinion. Really wish they could have a place where a dine in experience would be possible. Although, the seating matches the smokehouse food style. Just not for a wet and cold London take out. Staff are always friendly and cater for the needs. Over the years, it has gone up in price and does hurt the wallet a fair bit now. But worth it once in a while.
