Rating: 5 / 5
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!

Cristina's Steak

Rating: 4.2 (2029) Price Level:
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!

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.

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!

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.

Rating: 4.4 (52) Price Level:
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.

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.

It was such a great place to dine in. It is so decorative & quite a great atmosphere. We ordered a Full platter which comes out good. I must Appreciate their sauce items & also cleaning process. Lovely to be there. Cheers.

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!
Rating: 4 / 5
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 would give 6 stars if I could. The food here is absolutely delicious, soo tasty and packed with flavours. I can’t say I’ve tried loads of authentic Pakistani food but what I tried at Nagina Grill was delicious plus the service was great. Welcomed with a smile and made to feel at home which is always so nice especially when I’m working away. Thank you for the warm welcome and I’ll definitely be back to try something else on the menu. Big love

Specially highly recommended Paye and Haleem. One of my favourite and mouthwatering. Both food looks delicious and yummy. They have also other amazing and great taste in the menu. Which I really like Curry and Vegetable dishes. Specially chicken curry and basean curry both are delicious. Best Asian Halal Restaurant in Long bridge Road Barking. Highly Recommended families and friends
Rating: 4 / 5
I believe this is a good and reasonably priced Pakistani restaurant. I’ve tried almost every other dish here. Grill items are generally okay but curry’s are decent Halwa puri, pai and nihari (weekend specials) are good. Overall a good go to place if you’re looking for a good budget Pakistani food. Service wise the guys are very friendly and professional.

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!

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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!
Rating: 4 / 5
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.

This best pub in Barking with am African theme and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and willing to make you feel relaxed and welcomed. It's a large pub with outdoor area and hotel next door. It's set up like a sports bar with large screens on nearly every wall so you don't miss any action. I called.in on a Sunday afternoon when it was quiet but imagine this place.osnkicking in the evenings and weekend.

King's lounge was absolutely fantastic. It's been a while I partied with Africans and it was so nice to see so many people turn up with Nigerian hits playing back to back. The DJ was great as well and they were a lot of foreigners dancing to our beats so that made my night. I'm definitely going back there soon again for an awesome night out. If you want to have a fun night out, visit King's Lounge.

I like the atmosphere in this place and always go there when I'm passing through. I also go there especially for the good tilapia fish, it is excellently prepared. Although I am always the only German and white guest, I feel very comfortable and welcome. Recently my Romanian friend had it with me, she was also enthusiastic about the tilapia fish and the atmosphere. I will come back again and again....

Rating: 4 / 5
I had the lamb, but the onion was too much on it, good party space, and few A/C present, which made the place too hot after a while, and the female toilet smelled bad. The DJ did a fab job, mixing both old with new songs Afrobeats and foreign music. Good and professional staff and i liked that there were enough bouncers present.

Rating: 4.1 (1250) Price Level:
Really good food, amazingly large portions and good value for money. Only negative is they are cash only but have no signage to let you know this when you go in and staff don’t tell you until it’s time to pay. They have a free ATM inside but not everyone wants to pay cash, especially for me this caused some hassle later as it was a business expense

I am completely blown away! 🤯 I have eaten at so many of the restaurants around London and Essex that I've lost count. There are generally some good options, some special treasures, but they all leave you wanting more. Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. This is the one. This is the place you've been looking for. Fancy a holiday in Turkey? Cancel it and come here instead. The level of attention to detail was incredible, the dishes constructed with absolute care, and the freshness... It was fresh alright 👌🏼 The staff were incredibly friendly, and very accommodating, and the chefs took every dish to the next level. I had to try it all, I need to come back again and again. If you're looking for something special, great value for money, and an absolutely incredible taste sensation, an explosion of flavour, a celebration of culture and cuisine, get down here immediately. This is as good as it gets, and it's bloody good at that.

Such a great dining experience here. We were greeted with a huge smile and at every point of contact the service was amazing. It’s right by the station and has a lot of seating. Cute and comfortable decor too with flower walls! The food was delicious and full of flavour - such good value for how much was served on the plates. The selection of meats was incredible. We got a hot mezze platter and the wood oven sharing plate which fed 2-3 people, though there was so much food that it could definitely feed 4-5 people. We took food home with us and I’m excited to have some for lunch today! Cocktails were made with a lot of love. Absolutely divine. I would definitely come back for birthday meals and family gatherings. The Turkish music in the background gave a really authentic feel too. Thanks!

Takes a while to get your food but when it arrives it’s worth the wait! This is my go to takeaway spot in Barking. If you want to dine in, I highly recommend booking a table on a Friday night as they have live music which creates a vibrant night scene.
Rating: 5 / 5
Hands down my favourite Ghanaian restaurant in the UK! I have been going to Julienest for years and spent many special occasions here including the meal after my registry wedding. The food is authentic, consistently good flavours, always comes piping hot and comes out quickly (contrary to bad experiences I’ve had at other Ghanaian restaurants). I sometimes treat myself to a takeaway when I can’t be bothered to cook. My go-to’s are Waakye, Banku & Okro soup or Omotuo. Their Akonfem is lovely. Their kebab is also very tender and succulent, but quite spicy. The decor is very nice, Afrocentric and welcoming. They have good music (sometimes a DJ) and sometimes a live band on Fridays and Sundays. Can get very busy and crowded on Sundays.
Rating: 5 / 5
First time eating Ghanaian food and it was a great experience! We ordered the jollof rice with chicken, nkatenkwan and palm wine. The staff was great and fellow patrons were super friendly too. When our food came the table beside us could see we were new to the cuisine and helped us out! Live music really added to the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
