The Best Restaurants in Leyton, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Had a really nice meal here. Unexpectedly good - very interesting fusion between Japanese and Peruvian flavours. Really good find. Very helpful service, unhurried and relaxed meal. Very enjoyable.

We dined on a Saturday evening, with the restaurant being fairly quiet. The food was very tasty. We ordered a selection of sushi rolls, with the standout being Volcano Maki given the seared taste and texture when combined with the rice. The burner part of the preparation is no doubt a kid pleaser. Our mains - grilled sea bass and picanha steak - did not disappoint either. Finished it all off with a yuzu cheesecake and mango sorbet. We will be back, but perhaps when it's a bit warmer 🙂 Many thanks to Eugen for the exceptional service, detailing what the various dishes entail and offering suggestions as and when requested. The drink suggestion - Chicha Morada mocktail, with Peruvian blue corn and cinnamon - was delicious.

Standard of the food is superb. We’ve been four times and always super fresh and amazing flavours. Great server, we’ll be back!

Great place, delivers on all fronts: a relaxing atmosphere, amazing customer service, and incredible sushi. Every dish was fresh and beautifully presented, and the staff went above and beyond. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy top-tier food. Highly recommend!

This was one of the most amazing dining experiences I’ve ever had in London. The food was absolutely divine. I ordered the saltish cod - it was exactly the kind of fish that you would get in Portugal and the portions were absolutely massive. Everything was cooked to perfection and the entire table sat in silence while they ate because it was so good. The Vino Verde we had was also delicious and a reasonable price. I highly recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area. For everyone else get on a bus, train, boat or plane visit this place as soon as possible. Cannot possibly rate it any higher.

Had dinner here with a large group - service & food were absolutely fantastic. Portion sizes were large and very filling, definitely no skimping on food in this kitchen - I'd advise to come hungry! Given the current economic climate and issues with cost of living, the food is incredibly affordable for what you get - not seen a surf and turf with lobster for £30 anywhere else in London. Will definitely be back

This might be our 5th year running coming to Mar and Terra. It’s a beautiful family owned Portuguese spot. The food is delicious with perfect portions for a hungry tummy. The staff are friendly, have great energy, and really just make you feel at home. My biggest problem was selecting a meal. Everything on the menu looked great so I had to get expert advice from the waitress… and when I tell you it did not disappoint!

The food was really delicious and presented beautifully. Great friendly vibes from staff too. Will be returning soon!

I visited for breakfast on January 15, 2025, and it was an excellent experience! The food was of exceptional quality—so fresh, delicious, and satisfying. What truly stood out was the customer service. Amna, who served us, was incredibly gentle, attentive, and caring. She made us feel so welcome with her exceptional hospitality. I truly appreciate the outstanding service and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience! Haseeb provided excellent service, and the food was delicious. The portion size was perfect for one person, and the dessert was generous. I highly recommend enjoying it on an empty stomach, paired with a cup of kadak chai for the best experience!

Amazing! Food was great, customer service fantastic and luckily for us we didn’t have to wait in the queue. We got there just after 5pm when they open and it was empty. It was lovely to have the waitress give honest recommendations about portion sizes and explain the menu. Price was surprisingly reasonable. My favourite has to be the brisket and least favourite the chicken, it had a strange flavour.

This was some of the best food I've had lately. Yeap I'm back @burnt.smokehouse for the 2nd time and this visit was even better than the first! New on the menu is a tomahawk and it was beautifully topped up with their house made chimmichurri. You can see how nice and pink the steak was, didn't disappoint at all. My favorite remains their brisket. Just the best and when you pair it with their house pickles and chilli's with their unique dips, it's just an unbeatable meaty and smokey experience. I gotta say their smoked chicken is up there. Texture unlike other chickens I've tried - @tiberius.tudor is a food genius! Even their sausages were spectacular. To get that much flavour and juiciness out of it. This is one of the recent spots that overwhelmed me because each and everything was just so good. I was expecting a generic dessert and thought £5 for a pear would be silly. Nope. It's special and gotta be tried. I thought it would be too sweet or syrupy but with the custard and marshmallows just something so different. Regret just getting one, I'm definitely not sharing that next time. I can see why @burnt.smokehouse is fully packed whenever I go. Whatta spot and meat mastery by @tiberius.tudor 🔥💯🙏🏽

Came on a Friday with some mates and it had a lively atmosphere. It all started with a fairly long queue which very quickly moved along and within about 15 minutes we were surprised that we were able to order. The staff were crucial in moving the line quickly and the front end staff were pleasant. Once at the counter we were recommended to try a few things (as seems the norm here) so decided to tried the ‘bird’ chicken, beef brisket and fries. Though the beef was nice, it was actually a bit cold and it begs the question, is that a consequence of it being busy and they had to compromise with the prep for some items. It’s unfortunate as it tasted good but at least everything else was warm! The chicken had an interesting and unique flavour and was worth trying for sure. The Smash Burger was quite decent, not bad. It had a warehouse edge to it and has potential if it gets the quality right each time.

Burnt Smokehouse in Leyton served up an unforgettable Beef Smash Burger and brisket that’s easily the best around. The burger is perfectly smashed, with crispy edges and a juicy, tender centre that melts in your mouth, while the fresh toppings and soft brioche bun complete each delicious bite. The smoked brisket is equally impressive—tender, flavourful, and packed with rich, smoky goodness. With friendly staff, a relaxed vibe, for this level of quality, Burnt Smokehouse is a must-visit for burger and brisket lovers alike!

Food was amazing, atmosphere is also great, fun yet intimate. Lovely owners and amazing menu 😍😍😍 Went back to Madeira for a second there 💫.

A sensational little spot with fantastic customer service and a lovely atmosphere. We came here before an Orient game and it was just right. Super Bock on tap. Great sandwiches. Generous portions and excellent value for money.

It was very quiet when we came (on a Thursday in the early evening) but the staff were extremely friendly. The service was quick and the while the menu was limited to 2 pages, everything we tried was excellent. Especially noteworthy was the phenomenal portion sizes (we had to take a lot home). The drinks selection, likewise, was fantastic. Would absolutely recommend for authentic Portuguese cuisine.

Visited the restaurant twice and it's our new favourite Portuguese restaurant in the area. The food it's delicious and well prepared, true Portuguese flavours and portions 👌. Beverages prices are also good. Will be returning again.

A very exceptional dining experience. Figo has excellent decor and design. The food was delicious, especially the Lobster tortellini. The mint lemon tap water was a classy touch. Our server Tiziana was excellent and attentive. Overall, I can recommend a visit.

Had a fabulous birthday meal at Figo! We were so well looked after by Aurora and also Lilly and the Manager (sorry! Don't know his name but molto gentile), who were all so welcoming and attentive and made the evening really special. Delicious food, great atmosphere - a really memorable occasion, that even met with the approval of our very discerning Italian guests!

The food is really good here! I understand it is a chain but these guys know their food. The staff member Metodia was really attentive and extremely helpful. I would definitely come back!

Great service. pasta dishes were delicious. The Staff were attentive, friendly and polite. A particular mention for Grace who looked after us so well before the match on Saturday afternoon.

This is my favourite place to get a pizza! Fantastic food, great value for money, and friendly staff.

"The best pizza I have ever eaten." Words spoken by my better half, who does not praise pizza lightly. The value for money is incredible here, for delicious pizzas with a huge choice of toppings. Our go to whenever we are in Leyton.

Junglees is an absolute gem! The food was beyond amazing, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone and everyone. The Korean wings were next level—perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and just the right amount of spice. As for the burger? Simply excellent! Juicy, perfectly cooked, and loaded with fresh, delicious toppings. It’s clear they put a lot of care into every detail. If you’re looking for great food that hits the spot, this is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!

I was driving by late evening and decided to stop in for the first time. I really liked the variety on the menu and how they can accommodate different preferences. I especially enjoyed the burger, I went for the Beef Eater, and it was really tasty! For the loaded fries, I chose the Loaded Beef Fries, and the thinly sliced meat was cooked just right, it melted in my mouth. The prices were very reasonable too. The staff were very friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The chick lover burger is to die for. So crispy and juicy and I’ve never tasted a burger like it. 100% would recommend. The Brazilian wings are so saucy and crispy aswell. Can tell everything here is cooked fresh to the core

Thank you guys for a lovely coffee, my girlfriend and I found your place really nice. The art work and decor has a lot of warmth and worth the visit. Also, we avoided your neighbours coffee shop because their music was too noisy. You keep the volume down nice.

Great local restaurant. I've been coming here for the last 8 years, and they never disappoint you. Warm treat and large portions.

Second visit to Anatolia this week. Went in for breakfast today. We were 4. Ordered 3 breakfast platters for £13 each. Taste was great and quantity was ample. I’d say a platter is good for 2 and one can’t finish it alone. A couple nights ago we went there for dinner (5 folks). Ordered platter #3 for £90. Forgot to take a picture because we were super hungry and jumped right to it. Comes with 3 cold starters, lamb chops, lamb ribs, lamb shish, döner, lamb köfte/kebab/Adana kebab (whatever you want to call it), lots of rice and a bunch chicken. As expected of a Turkish establishment the lamb was good to perfection. Succulent and scrumptious. The flavour just bursts in your mouth with each bite. Couldn’t finish the whole thing, boxed it up and took it home. The staff on both occasions were very welcoming. Always smiling, accommodating and hospitable. Should’ve taken their names.

A very nice public house. Popped in for a pint before catching my bus. Super nice interior friendly staff. And a good pint. Excellent value, £5 a pint for London that's a big deal

Popped in here for a pint and really liked this place. Stripped back dark wood floors, comfy sofas (with matching ceiling!), pool table, conservatory, and lovely outdoor seating area. Early evening at the time of my visit, so fairly quiet. Very friendly staff. Would definitely return to try the food next time.

Lovely pub with a great garden and a rather incredible lion’s head feature fireplace
