**A Special Thanks to Mahdi for His Impeccable Service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** This review reflects my recent visit to the lounge. 🚗 **Parking:** Parking is typically free after 6pm and all day on Sundays. 💨 **Shisha:** Paan x PMS 🎼 **Music:** It felt like they had my personal playlist! The volume was perfect for having conversations. 🍔🥃 **Food/Drinks:** One specialty soft drink. 🧧 **Bill:** £35.50 🎎 **Service:** The service is generally great, but it’s exceptional when Mahdi is around. 🧐 **Final Thoughts:** Would I come here again? Absolutely. I’d definitely return for the delicious food, pleasant ambiance, and top-notch shisha. I've been here several times when I'm in the area, and it consistently meets my standards.

Great service and best flavours in London. Amazing fusion Turkish food. I’d recommend the NagaDana. Perfect location for me. I’d recommend the cookie dough and strawberry crush Mocktail.

The guys here are on point with their service, but let’s begin with their lamb sheesh with the hint of that naga spice. Perfectly cooked on some rice with a little bit of salad to keep things healthy. Followed up with a strawberry crepe with that fresh ice cream on the side. 10/10. Not many places I’ve been that know their dark leaf Shisha mixes, I asked for a mix made by the in-house Shisha connoisseur, the guys know their stuff SERIOUSLY! Amazing experience and certainly worth the visit for all Shisha smokers

This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa This beautiful dessert & shisha spot is definitely a hidden gem. Top Notch cafe to visit with your partner or friends 💕✨ We got to try out their best sellers💥 - The waffles in this place is out of the world (Whiteberry is amazing 🤩), definitely the best I we have had in East London. - Cookie dough was crunchy and chocolaty all at the same time, left us wanting for more. 🤤 - The purple smurf sheesha was amazing for it’s price and they also got several cool flavors to choose from. P.S you can add a jelly ice pipe if you’d like 🥶 Overall, The vibe of this dessert cafe was serene. The dimly lights added to a relaxing & cozy atmosphere. ✨ The desserts were absolute on point which wrapped up the experience perfectly. Would love to come again with as many people as possible! 🥰🔥

This rooftop restaurant boasts stunning views! Friendly staff. Good food (7/10). Enjoyed a delicious three-course meal. Booking ahead is crucial, as tables fill up quickly. Only drawback: felt rushed. Impressive aesthetics! Overall, I recommend. Book ahead for a smoother experience! Might visit again and capture some nice photos!

We had a wonderful dinner at STK Steakhouse, and Grace truly made our experience special. As I am pregnant, she took extra care of us, ensuring I felt comfortable and had everything I needed. Her service was sensational, and she expertly managed the floor while making us feel like valued guests. Grace’s attention to detail and warmth made our evening outstanding. Highly recommend her for an exceptional dining experience!

It was absolutely amazing. The food tasted so good and was cooked to perfection. The pace of the starters to mains was really good, and gave us time to settle between meals. Our waiter GRACE was so good and helpful to us, anytime I go back there I will most definitely be asking for her, she made our time so enjoyable and easy going.

It was excellent! The music, the food, the cleanliness and the speed of the service. We were welcomed and served throughout the lunch by Grace. She was excellent and available to us. Knowing that we were a group of 15 incredible women. I highly recommend this place, room reserved for us and an amazing view. So if you stumble upon Grace, know that you're lucky!

What a great experience. The service from staff was impeccable. They were so attentive without being intrusive. The food was and the atmosphere calm. The decor and ambience was really nice. We were celebrating an anniversary and they went above and beyond to make us feel special and even gave us a complimentary mocktail! Highly recommended. A special thanks to Manny for being really attentive and friendly.

Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I had such a great experience for my 18th birthday. I was greeted by a lovely waiter who made my party of 10 feel very welcome and overall made the atmosphere really enjoyable and special to me! All staff were very kind and patient and so I really do appreciate this. Waiters offered to take pictures for us and sang happy birthday for me which honestly made my experience even more memorable! I just wish I could remember the names of these waiters. Overall food was delicious and great for the price and the interior was beautiful. I will definitely be coming here again!!!

Al Arbab, located near Green Street, is a fantastic spot for flavorful food with authentic taste. The dishes are well-seasoned and packed with rich flavors, making it a hit among locals. Abu Bakar and the staff are especially polite and welcoming, providing excellent service that enhances the dining experience. If you’re in the area, Al Arbab is definitely worth a visit for a satisfying meal and friendly atmosphere.

uploaded pics is proof with cctv above false reviews.if someone can read its clearly written we dont serve breast piece in chicken mandi i guess they came with jealousy and was asking for discount when we denie to gave any discounts they gave these false reviews how can they finish the food without telling us that its cold and dont be jealous brother.and we told you earlier after serving 2 lamb mandi and no one is allowed to force the customers to eat chicken mandi you guys wanted to eat that thats why we served it and you guys need to see your statement one review says you ordered it and one review says you been forced to eat comeon be mature and dont have jealousy for the sake of Allah and alhumdulillah theres many large groups of customers come and eat and they booked us prior and everyone is a priority for us and we try to give our best service and food I have good expirence with Al arbab as always. we are thankful that we will not be having these type of customers anymore thanks for not coming back respect😊

This is one of the best cafe around staff are friendly and service is excellent been coming here for quite some time and never disappointed. I pop in to have a late brunch and ending up have a roast beef dinner instead. The service was and always is perfect best cafe around is my opinion. Nothing has changed service and food top class.

Serves great tasting food. Had an English breakfast and second English breakfast where I created my own, with 2 sausages, 2 turkey strips, chips, beans, 2 liver and fried toast, coffee, orange juice, lemon tea all for £13.90. Freshly cooked, not too greasy, great morning wake up. Serves halal food. Provides a polite and patient customer service. A great serving English breakfast and overall great serving cafe. A must go place if you are looking for a cook bite or a full halal or normal English breakfast. Cash only.

Typical London caff. Lovely service. Cheap and cheerful. Service was good and instant. Food was hot. Sausages weren't that great but acceptable. Coffee is not bean to cup but then this is not a bistro. It was instant coffee - it was fine. Very clean place. We had the brunch fry-ups. With tea and coffee came in at £15+. I would visit again. Just as feedback I would pay extra for better sausages - butcher is next door. They do have a sign for halal.

Nice, relaxed, family friendly pub. I dropped in to watch a bit of football while waiting to get the train. It was early evening and the place was not too busy. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Other customers also seemed friendly. The place also seemed friendly for families and there was, what looked like, a parent and baby club on one of the tables. The beers were served in icey glasses, which was a nice touch on a hot day. They had a good range of beers from well know brands to seasonal specialities. I didn't try to food but the food I saw being delivered to other tables looked good. Every table had a dinner reservation for later in the evening. I plan to return and try the food.

Staff are absolutely excellent. Really lovely and helpful. Roast was pretty good. The meat was cooked beautifully but I would prefer more love put into the veg. Atmosphere is really nice and welcoming. Very family orientated on Sundays so probably not the place if you're after the hair of the dog. But I had a really nice time here and that's what counts!

Fabulous pub! Having been born and raised in Forest Gate, but moving away 10 years ago to live abroad....my first visit back after years this weekend gone... highlight of the the trip was cold beers and delicious food in the lovely garden, with great service and positive vibe! Prices are great, team is super welcoming, keep up the great work guys and see you in November when we travel again for a weekend. First stop after airport will be here!

Came in for a Sunday Roast and it was delicious! They have several options and I went for the pork which as a very generous portion and so good! Easily one of the best I've had in London. Staff was really friendly as well, so a great experience all the way through. A great spot in Forest Gate and will definitely be going back!

Vege roast was tasty and felt very virtuous though found the gravy quite watery. The sticky toffee pud was 👌👌 Nice selection of beers and a couple of alcohol free options (Guinness, lucky saint). Service was casual but staff were friendly and attentive. We were inside on a rainy summers day and would have loved to be able to crack a window, very stuffy. Some music would have been great too.

The new Costa in Forest Gate is a fantastic spot for food and coffee! The space is large with plenty of seating, and the menu offers a great variety of options. The staff is wonderful—my barista, Michaela, was especially sweet and recommended the perfect drink. It’s great to finally have a top-notch coffee place in Forest Gate! ♥️

The wait is over and finally Costa Coffee has opened it’s branch in Forest Gate, E7. It is a fantastic addition to the area! With its well-thought-out design and inviting atmosphere, it seems like the perfect spot for coffee lovers and friends to gather and enjoy some quality time together. A warm, welcoming staff is always a plus, especially in a newly opened spot. Now locals have a cozy place to relax with good coffee and snacks – definitely something worth celebrating!

Outstanding Experience at Hyderabad Darbar I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Hyderabad Darbar on Green Street, London. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. The Food: Each dish we ordered was nothing short of perfection, but the Chilly Prawns deserve a special mention. They were hands down the highlight of our meal — perfectly cooked, with a delicious balance of spice, flavor, and tenderness. It’s rare to find prawns cooked so well, retaining their juiciness while being packed with flavor. I’d highly recommend this dish to anyone visiting. The Tandoori Murgh (half) was beautifully marinated and grilled to perfection, while the Lamb Biryani had the authentic flavors of Hyderabad — fragrant, rich, and generously portioned. To accompany our meal, the Coke and small water bottle were a simple touch, keeping us refreshed throughout. Service: The service here was exceptional. A member of the staff — though I didn’t catch her name — helped us select the most delicious options from the menu. Her recommendations were spot on, and her professional, warm, and friendly demeanor added to our dining experience. It’s clear she genuinely cares about ensuring guests enjoy their time at the restaurant. Atmosphere & Ambience: The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, reflecting the rich culinary heritage the restaurant represents. The menu, with its variety of dishes and beautiful presentation, truly reflects their dedication to authentic, high-quality food. Overall, Hyderabad Darbar is a must-visit for anyone looking for excellent Indian food in London. I will definitely be coming back for the Chilly Prawns and more! Highly recommended.

Heard that this is the most authentic Biryani in London. Tried the Chicken dum biryani, Gobi (cauliflower) 65 and Murgh Malai Kebab - all were great. Downed mango lassi (ask for it with ice!) and Gulab Jamun for dessert. Really impressed. Our server, Summaiya, was awesome, attentive and explained everything in terms I could understand a it’s nice to deal with nice people. Will definitely check them out again!
