Went here on Saturday afternoon, they were busy during that time and they have a big reservation. But their staff was super nice to accommodate the 3 of us as they have a spare single table. Thank goodness as we came all the way from SE London we didn’t know that it is best to reserve. Later on they transferred us to a bigger table so that we wont be all cramped with all our order. There staff were very sensitive about that which we really appreciate. And they made sure that our foods doesn’t contain Crab or Lobster as my daughter is allergic with it. We ordered Chicken Isaw (I loved this the most) Tokwat Baboy Pancit with lechon kawali Sinigang na baboy Sisig Turon All of them tasted amazing and will definitely go back to try the others.

Food was standard, my friends found them tasty, isaw, Kawali Silog, humba Silog, pinakbet. Unfortunately, the garlic honey chicken wasn't as tasty as I'd like. They were very generous with honey and I could hardly taste the garlic. The spring rolls could be so much better, there was some weird sour taste to it Halo halo was ok. Service was slow! And service staff didn't know what was a available in the kitchen and we had to change our order twice. It was tricky to find the place and we had to contact the restaurant for guidance.

Tilaw serves filipino dishes. Food is worth for its price. We went for lunch buffet and the dishes in the menu were exciting. My favorite was bistek tagalog. However, I noticed the trays should be refilled every now and then. I was sad that calamansi juice was not available but there were other options to try + red horse beer is available in the house😉

First time trying Filipino food and it’s well worth a try. Definitely a hidden gem in Romford, they offer some authentic Filipino cuisines. Their chicken nachos is a must order, absolutely delicious! Only negative points I have to say is customer service, as waiter wasn’t sure on how to explain certain dishes to us. Customer toilet was out of order and not in usable condition as there was some sort of water leak. Other than that this place is a family run authentic Filipino restaurant which is definitely worth a try.

First time eating Philippino food and it was amazing. It's a small family run business food can take a while so allow time but it's worth the wait everything is good. If I lived closer I would be coming regularly. Loved everything we ate.
