Yebaba Levantine Kitchen

Fantastic food and service and such great prices! The food was 10/10 and the people there are so nice and welcoming! We have been here twice now and have never been disappointed, we will definitely be regulars 🤩

It's very hard to give anything but 5 stars for this place as the staff here are so likeable but to be honest, the food could have been better. In their defence, we were the first customers of the day and it tasted like we were eating food prepared the previous day. The meats were not as succulent as I have tasted and seemed a bit dried out. The rice and bulgar were nice. The staff were really friendly and really spoiled us, service was top notch.

Michelin-star level customer service and beyond.
The food was absolutely incredible, and the short wait time made the experience even better. The staff went above and beyond — from helping us choose our dishes to ensuring we felt looked after every moment we were there. From the moment we stepped in until the second we left, the service was flawless. This is hands down the best customer service I’ve ever received, and the food matched that excellence. Thank you so much!

A perfect place for very nice takeaway. I would like to thank the chefs, Ahmed, Pino and the other chefs name that I cannot remember sadly. The place was very clean and well managed. I appreciate the takeaway packaging, the boxes are very durable and they can be reused so they're very eco friendly. The bag they came in is also very nice as it's made out of fabric and has their logo on it. I would like to say that it is the best Turkish food we have ever tried, starting from the „appetizer" which was superlative then going over to the main course which was a plate very rich in meats and with extremely good rice, finishing with the very sweet and delightful dessert. I would definitely recommend and I will be going back very soon!

Saw the google reviews and photos so decided to visit for my takeaway so I could see what was on offer. Chatted to Servet and his team. The selections are great. Good advice on the boxes and what to pair up. I had chicken doner, lamb shish, olives and humus. The bread was so fresh and authentic. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway and will be back. Thanks to the team for an excellent first experience, Claire x

Turtle Bay Romford

Great food and excellent service! Tommy was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our visit. He gave us great food recommendations and checked back often to make sure everything was perfect!

The food and service was great. The cocktails were amazing and our waitress Manovi customer service was excellent she went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. Thank you

I went to turtle bay Romford with a friend for bottomless brunch and we were served by Ellie who was on it! She served us with a welcome drink while we looked at the menu,  she had explained to us. She was knowledgeable about the menu bath drinks and food.
She was attentive and we never had to grab her attention as she was always there ready to take our next order for drinks.

The restaurant itself was clean and had a good atmosphere.
We will definitely be back!

Came this weekend as a group of friends and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was buzzing, drinks were so strong and amazing and the food was incredible. I hadn’t been to a turtle bay in a few years and the new food items were just incredible. Our waitress Maryam couldn’t do enough for us and kept our drinks flowing with great energy the whole visit. Will definitely be back soon!

VISIT DATE: THU 18/09/2025
VISIT TIME: 12:40 - 13:55
SERVER: Charlotte

This was my second visit to Turtle Bay in Romford, having first been in about 2 years so with work colleagues on a night out, at which time it was packed and busy, but staff were friendly and helpful, making it a pleasurable experience , especially given the £12 all day deal on cocktails! This time, being lunchtime, the place was very quiet and felt really open and spacious, which was probably helped by it being daylight outside!

On entry we were greeted by Charlotte who was already smiling, but smiled even more when she heard me saying the Romford branch is much nicer than the Chelmsford one in terms of the decor! Honestly, Chelmsford have gone too far with the “beach shack” vibes (I was there in April 2025), while Romford are clearly channeling the Caribbean, whilst still looking reasonably classy (which is quite an achievement for any venue in Romford)!

😂

Was with a friend of mine who I don’t get to see often, so it took us a while to chose our options as we catching up, but in the end, we opted for dishes from the “Breakfast, Brunch & Lunch” section. I chose the Carib Roti Wrap with Aubergine and Plantain (£9.50), whilst my friend had the Curry Goat Hash (£10.50).

Both were very nice, but I think my friend made the better choice as, despite the number of calories, my wrap didn’t feel particularly filling (although I’m perimenopausal and I was on a very hungry day).

On the plus side, had room for desserts so, after the disappointment of hearing they were out of cheesecake, I went for the Ginger Pudding with Pineapple and Coconut Ice Cream (£5.90), whilst my friend had the Chocolate Brownie with Coconut Ice Cream (£5.90). Again, both good, but this time, mine was the better of the two!

Drinks wise, we enjoyed the complimentary tap water and took advantage of the £12 for two of the same cocktails offer to enjoy a Passion Fruit Rumtini (£8 individually) which comes with a shot of Prosecco, though the menu says you can try it with Vodka instead - something I must try and remember next time as I don’t actually like Prosecco!

In terms of the restaurant in general, and as mentioned at the start, the decor has a Caribbean theme (obviously, as so does the food), with a decent sized seating area. There is step-free access to the main section and bar, though the door is manual. Reasonable amount of space to get round tables, but could be trickier when it’s busy for wheelchair users, especially getting to the toilet which is a bit further in.

Accessible toilet is shared with baby changing and looked clean and tidy, while the other toilets are through another door and up a couple of steps, with individual cubicles with their own sinks, making this a good option for gender non-conforming people as you get your own space. I also liked the pink and green theme of the walls.

Being situated in the centre of Romford, there is no parking immediately outside, but it is part of the Brewery shopping complex, so there is a large surface level and multi-storey carpark next to it. The area is also very well served by public transport, being a few minutes walk from multiple bus stops and Romford train station.

For those with children, there is a kids menu and staff can also help diners chose dishes that are less spicy.

Overall, I like this chain, and look forward to returning. Was kicking myself for not realising I could have used my Blue Light Discount, but will do so next time as, though the food is average priced, everything seems so expensive now when you look at how much food and drink has gone up in comparison to wages, so that 20% discount would certainly be welcome.

Have also downloaded the app on the recommendation of Charlotte (who was friendly and just the right level of attentive throughout) as this should also give me some great savings in future.

One final note… don’t come here if you’re on a diet… the food is good, but it’s also calorific!

Shish LEGENDS Fusion Turkish Meze

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Shish Legends, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant boasts a warm, inviting ambiance that transports you straight to Turkey, complemented by friendly and attentive staff.
The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Turkish dishes. I highly recommend the lamb kebabs—they were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection.
The portions were generous, making it great value for the price.
Overall, Shish Legends Turkish Restaurant is a fantastic spot for anyone craving genuine Turkish cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to Turkish flavors, this place is sure to satisfy your palate.

Visited today this place. The staff is very welcoming, professional and polite. The food was made quite fast! The interior is very nice, with chill music. The food has amazing presentation, and incredible taste!!

I have been to this restaurant a few times, its a family favourite, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is  very relaxed.
The food is always amazing, very well seasoned with massive portions.
Definitely will be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Legend Shish is absolutely top-tier!
From start to finish, the experience was flawless — the quality, attention to detail, and overall vibe are on another level. Everything exceeded expectations, and you can tell real passion and effort went into it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best — you won’t be disappointed. A true legend, living up to the name!

Food was very delightful. I had a great time with them. Such a peaceful environment with polite and helpful staffs. Visit them and get your desire foods and hospitality. Special thank you to Emad and Nayeem as well as the chef.

Blue Orchid

Wow. Whole experience was fantastic. Richard and staff were really lovely and welcoming. Food was amazing. We went for lunch but ordered off the main menu which came out piping hot and was the best Chinese we have tasted. We got most of it boxed up to take home for dinner as ordered a few dishes to try. Ordered chicken chow mein, egg fried rice, satay chicken, barbecue ribs in sauce, Chinese duck and sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style. The chicken was juicy, the ribs fell off the bone, all the food was really enjoyable. This will definitely be our new go to Chinese and recommend it to anyone who loves a Chinese. The restaurant was very clean was lovely sitting in there but they also do takeaway.

Very tasty, authentic dishes. Staff very friendly and will go the extra mile without asking.

Party of five, we had crispy duck,  kung po chicken,  lemon chicken,  chicken satay, squid, Singapore noodles, egg fried rice, beef short ribs - and more! And all of it was delicious!

Absolutely delicious food and top-notch service, not a single complaint. Will definitely be back!

Many thanks to the team at Blue Orchid for keeping my coat safely when I left it behind! The restaurant is run well with the service, staff was friendly and the place was clean. However I have to be honest that we didn't think the food was overly great - the crispy chilli beef was more on the chewy side and the seafood soup had some unmixed gelatin which was not pleasant to find. The pork starter dumplings was oksy. The special fried rice and the dessert was very good and maybe the only parts of the menu we had that we would recommend. It was reasonably priced for 2 people.

Delicious Chinese (Cantonese) food. Quality ingredients and very friendly staff. We ordered the Chicken with black bean sauce, salted chilli King prawns, salt and chilli bean curd and sizzling fillet Cantonese style. These king prawns were our favourite but all dishes were nice. Would definitely go back again.

Roosters Piri Piri

Today was one of the rare occasions when I didn't rely on UberEats to deliver takeout to me. Just up front, the tables weren't the cleanest I've seen, and there was a slight complication where we almost got overcharged for our meal. Nonetheless, their food is seriously yummy! Their Fries are possibly some of the best I've had. I love it when restaurants keep the skin from the potato on, plus they gave me a very, very generous portion that I had to share some with my family. Next, the Grilled Chicken Burger was a delight to eat from start to finish. Also, I love how Roosters Piri Piri have a wide range of flavours to coat your chicken in. I went with the Medium which provided me with just the right amount of kick and flavour. And it was piping hot since they cook it fresh right in front of you, another bonus!
I highly recommend this establishment, especially to those trying to cut down on their fried food intake without compromising taste.

Enjoyed a nice meal yesterday with my family after we have been at cinema in Brewery, Nice tidy clean place and food is great in good portions and quality. Good value for money and owner very nice and helpful he offering car park space at the back of his restaurant.
Highly recommended

We visited Rooster Peri Peri in Romford and had a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming and professional. The service was quick and efficient, and everything was handled in a very smooth and organized way.

The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. We tried a variety of items from the menu and were impressed with the quality across the board. The peri peri chicken was especially tasty and cooked just right.

Overall, a great place to eat with excellent food and top-notch service. Highly recommended!

Great place for a late night snack. Chicken was nicely seasoned and sweet potato fries were flavourful and crunchy. Parvesh was a attentive and kind server.

A group of us went to Roosters Peri Peri for an end of year celebration. Both Robin and Parvez were absolutely accommodating and provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was great. High recommend this place.

Nasi Isda® Romford

I easily spent hundreds of pounds here over the last few years. I've never been disappointed. My food is always fresh n delicious and the guys are always happy n smilely Almost eating here once every 2 weeks n still not bored. Well done guys. C u in a few weeks again

I had 3 dishes so far and am In love ..will go back any chance I get when am with my kids....  They also enjoyed the delicious food at nasi isda.
The yaki- udon beef , Korean BBQ beef bao and the breaded shrimp balls  they are to dye for 🤤🥰..as I finish eating them my mouth is watering for more....the flavours are on point and the portions are decent....I definitely recommend this spot 100%👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The watermelon n mango ice creams for desserts with tapioca were lush too! Good pricing with good food too from what we tried today!😋

Great food! I ordered their Seoul bagel sandwiches today, and they were both tasty and satisfying. I’ll definitely order again next time.

Kasiba Lounge and Restaurant

Really Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Staff were quite helpful and food/drinks were amazing. Lychee mojito is the must try. Shisha flavours were quality which is quite rare these days. Overall 9/10.

Had a fabulous experience. The food was delicious and fresh. Atmosphere is really nice. Staff is lovely as well. We had great time. We enjoy shisha and food and the dessert was amazing. I will definitely come again.

I visited this place with a friend after hearing some positive reviews, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a big disappointment. When we were finally ready to place our order, we were informed that the main dish we had chosen was unavailable. To our surprise, we were then told that no mains were available at all, and only starters could be ordered.

The staff member who took our order appeared unconcerned about the situation. It was 7 PM, and I was really hoping to enjoy a meal there, but ultimately, we had to leave and find another restaurant.

I won’t be coming back.

Amazing food and Shisha, definitely my go to lounge, each time iv gone  they have exceeded expectations, Live entertainment on weekends, Variety of foods drinks and selection of Shisha flavours all 10/10, Looking forward to going back, One of the best restaurant/ lounge iv been to :)
Check it out guys you won't be disappointed.
They have a new menu the food is amazing.
Thanks to Rehan exactly service from him and he mixes the best shisha :)

Thank you sooo much to Tania for her conversation, service and friendliness. My friend and I met up after a very long time and we chose to catch up at Millions lounge. The music was good, the interior designs was amazing and modern and bright. I'd only suggest more toilets. We had a fabulous time

The Grill Stratford

Great Family-Friendly Halal Spot!
We visited The Stratford Grill for dinner and had such a wonderful experience. The food was excellent – the steaks were juicy and full of flavour, and the desserts were a real treat. What really stood out was how family-friendly the place is. It felt welcoming and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy the evening with everyone. We also really appreciated that the menu is halal, which gave us peace of mind and let us enjoy everything without worry. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was relaxed, and overall it was a perfect choice for both families and special occasions. Thanks to Rahul for serving us perfectly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@mr.shake_rover

Had an amazing experience at the grill in Stratford very good customer service very nice food I enjoyed everything but especially loved them creamy mash the most and I got a mixed grill cooked well well seasoned and amazing service from Rahul very good always checking in seeing if we wanted anything more, how are we enjoying the food? He was really nice so 10 out of 10 for Rahul Customer service👍🏾

Food was very good but can be better in places, kartik and mani were friendly and attentive. They gave a free sauce on the house and were attentive and checked all was ok. The recommended burger was tasty and tender and curly fries were nice when hot and fresh. The mini grill was OK but chicken wings a little smelly and one of the lamb chops had a bit of uncooked fat in the crevice, the other one was nice and sausage, chicken strips and rice were tasty. I left satisfied as portion sizes were decent value for money, a little pricey considering no sides offered with mains but expected for a nice night out in a restaurant. Will consider returning again as there's enough good food but will avoid the chicken wings.

I recently had a fantastic meal at The Grill Stratford and wanted to share my experience. From start to finish, the food was absolutely top-notch, and it's a spot I'd highly recommend.
For starters, I got the buffalo wings and black tiger prawns. The wings had a great kick and were perfectly cooked, while the prawns were juicy and full of flavour. Both dishes were a great way to kick off the meal.
But the real star of the show was the ribeye steak. It was incredibly tender, cooked to perfection, and melted in my mouth with every bite. It was easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time.
While my main focus was on the steak, I also had a taste of the burger, and it didn’t disappoint. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and a great choice if you're not in the mood for a steak.
Overall, the quality of the food at The Grill Stratford is superb. If you're looking for a place with excellent steaks and a solid menu all around, this is definitely the place to go.

Very amazing experience from the start, no reservation made and got a table immediately even though it was a Saturday. Had QR code on the table to check the menu and order food on, very convenient.

Food and drinks came just after 20 minutes and after seeing the quality of the food I was very surprised it only took 20 minutes. The chicken and steak were very tender (chicken fell off the bone as soon as I even tried to put it on my place) , we ordered the ‘mega feast’ and it was much larger than expected (we had to end up taking takeaway).

Also I can’t stress enough how perfectly seasoned everything was, even their special sauces they bring with the food is beyond perfect. Honestly this alone is the main reason I WILL be returning!

Drinks were also very nice, especially the bubblegum mocktail.

Staff were very nice and friendly, checking in on us if we needed anything but not to the point where it was smothering. Manager was also very friendly and welcoming!

The prices were very affordable (£7-20 each) with large portions. And if you’re a picky eater like me this place is definitely for you! (They also have the option to put special requests for each food item when ordering online, so very easy to ask to remove certain things!)

Modern European dining that doesn't take itself too seriously, but takes your taste buds very seriously indeed. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

Braza Churrascaria Rodizio

Went here today for my 18th birthday and i definitely will be returning. The staff were so lovely and accommodating the place was clean and the perfect atmosphere. The food was just phenomenal and meat was fresh. I don’t usually leave reviews but I had such a great experience here today I just had too :)

Went out with family and a lovely buffet restaurant with food choices. Friendly staff and any meat gets taken around and leave it cut down a couple slices on a small plate. The juice was totally amazing. I really recommend it!

Fantastic food, lovely staff. Even asked what we'd like at the end, so they could bring it out for us! Definitely recommend 👌🏽

Brazil BBQ style place, all the meat is cooked on skewers,  brought to your table and sliced take as much as you can eat. There is a side dish and salad bar with stews and soups. Feels like an independent place and not part of a big chain, service is good and they have a whirl of artisan ice cream flavours, but you have to buy the whole tub and share,  or buy the scoop.
All in all a good stop to quench the hunger if you are craving meat 🍖. Would go back if in the area again.

Had a wonderful evening here. Service was top notch from friendly waiters/waitresses in particular Michael, Alfie and George. We even had a complementary birthday cake which was a lovely touch. The food was great. Lots of options from the buffet and the meats brought to the table were cooked to perfection. Lovely almost family vibe to the restaurant itself with atmospheric music playing throughout. Definitely recommend.

Mangal Meze Restaurant

Absolutely loved the atmosphere! We got a warm welcome from the manager, and our lovely waitress made the whole experience even better. The food was amazing—beautifully presented and full of flavor. I had the chicken liver to start, followed by lamb chops and ribs. The liver was super tasty, and the chops were so tender they just melted in my mouth. My sister ordered a salad and a few other things—loved the little butterfly on the salad! Great service all around. Will definitely be back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Incredible Turkish food with a cozy atmosphere! The kebabs were perfectly grilled, and the hummus with warm pita was a great start. The baklava and Turkish tea for dessert were the perfect finish. Friendly service and great prices. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“One of the best Turkish restaurants in Romford!
The food is always fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented – especially the grilled meats and meze. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel at home, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Great service, generous portions, and a place you’ll definitely want to come back to. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Turkish food!”

First time,  didn't disappoint,  lovely atmosphere and hospitality. Mouth watering dishes.
Would recommend...

Lovely food, amazing atmosphere and service.
Good prices and nice staff

Meteor Meze & Grill Restaurant

As soon I entered in, all I could see is pure beauty.
The waitress was warm, accommodating , and extremely pleasant which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The restaurant was exceptionally clean with a bathroom that really stood out.
The food was tasty and the drinks had a delicious flavour
At the end ,it was my dads birthday , and she quietly invited my over to surprise him with a cake that even had sparklers on it! It was one of the best restaurants that I ever went to!

Came here and we had the lunch menu 15 lb for two courses. We had the lahmacum (tasted like it wasn't fresh )And the Adana. Wife got the soup and lamb shish. Everything was nice and tasty recommended

Our first visit to meteor and received warm welcome from staff on arrival. For drinks I requested a passionfuit monitor which is off menu but the lovely April accommodated and we ended up having quite a few more, they tasted delicious better than ive had before I recommend to req this drink!
Starter was mixed cold meze, everything was tasty and the bread was to die for!
Mains we had mix of chicken, lamb and kofta with bulgar and rice, well it was the most succulent soft lamb pieces I've ever had at a turkish restaurant. Big portions I couldn't finish my meat. Salad was fresh, more bread and dips on request complimentary.

No desserts as we were too full but had a couple more cocktails.

I regret to not get our waitresses name but she was pleasent and professional i would definitely visit here again and have told everyone to visit as it was quality food with good service.

Thank you again Meteor

Amazing time at Meteor restaurant for our friends birthday brunch! The Turkish platter, a generous portion and was very delicious. Their meat tasted fresh and were very yummy too. The place is beautifully decorated and is very warm and welcoming as well as the staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a local I love coming here with all my family as the portions are super generous.
Staff is always friendly.

Highly recommend The  Chicken shish wrap and chicken salad and birthday dessert cake 🤤

Sunrise Lutong Bahay

I have been here a fair few times and the food is always excellent, plenty of healthier options on the menu too which isn't a given in this area. Service is friendly and efficient. Pictured: Sizzling Salmon

I’ve visited this place a handful of times and each time I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the food. Each visit I aim to try a different dish, to get a real insight into what Filipino cuisine is like having not come across it before I moved into the borough.

Today was no exception, I opted to try one of the daily specials: Pork Humba. It was a delicious dish of fatty pork belly, with black beans, banana blossom in a sweet and savoury soy sauce, served with steamed rice. Delicious.

My previous visits have seen my try the Chicken adobo, Kare Kare and up until today my favourite the Caldereta. The condiment table is always worth a visit with pots of homemade chilli oil and a vinegary onion sauce that helps to cut through the rich dishes.

Staff are friendly and the restaurant is an unassuming cafe usually frequented by a mix of locals as well as international visitors looking for a tasty affordable lunch with decent sized portions.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Romford and looking for something tasty, comforting and different to the usual fry up cafes and fast food restaurants scattered around the Romford Market area.

First time dining here with my boyfriend as it was the closest Filipino restaurant for us without going into central London.

Location-wise it was easy to find and there’s a multi-storey parking nearby to park your car.

When it came to food, we had lechon kawali, bulaklak, and crispy pata. Overall, the food is great, home cooked feel and the restaurant atmosphere was relaxed. It felt like I was eating at an authentic Filipino carinderia. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our food here and will definitely be back again.

It’s such a shame we didn’t get to try the desserts but we were so full from our mains!

I’d definitely recommend this Filipino restaurant as it so simple but the food is amazing.

I recently visited this small Filipino restaurant in Romford Shopping Hall for the second time but both visits were disappointing. The food lacked quality and flavor. The noodle soup was bland, the BBQ pork was excessively sweet and the herbal tea was just a basic tea bag in hot water—far from what I expected. The only redeeming item was the iced tea which was decent.

The service didn’t improve the experience either. When we asked for a takeaway box, we were told it cost 30p. Without exact change, we handed over 50p but never received the difference. While the amount is minor, the lack of customer care or a simple gesture to waive the fee left a bad impression.

Overall, it was an unsatisfactory experience.

Don’t trust the reviews they use their own people to review!!! These Cheating cons! They tried to over charge me, when they actually charged my partner extra £1.50 for adding Extra meat and £7 for me!!!
When I had received my tapas I looked at the quantity and it doesn’t seem like how I am used to have it, so I went to the till and asked the lady to pay extra for more meat. - they “owner” intervened and said: it will be £7 !! I’ve asked why my partner paid £1.50 only? She said because it’s tapas extra and I’m ordering a portion, but when I added the extra egg it was only £1. - many times in the past they were okay with it and they would just charge £1.50 and add the extra but she wanted £7??? For extra 4 pieces of meat!!? I can buy a kilo of meat for £7. I’ve been a customer for over 7 years and this never happened. No customer service. Not nice also food has gone down in Taste.
Whilst this doesn’t make sense, I want to remind you it’s also against the law to charge something off the menu all prices have to be listed on the menu by law!
The menu does not mention £7 neither £1.

The Yummy Greek

Had a really nice dinner at this restaurant!
Waitresses were polite and helpful, food arrived in just over 10min and most important it was delicious and rich of flavour. Added feta cheese to my BBQ specials! Try it, you won't be disappointed!

I had an absolutely amazing dinner here! The food was fantastic—every dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The prices were very reasonable for the quality, which made the whole experience even better. What really stood out, though, was the service—super friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I truly enjoyed every moment of the evening. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Yesterday, I visited The Yummy Greek for a quick lunch with a friend, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious. The ambiance was also great, creating a relaxing atmosphere perfect for a midday break.

The customer service was outstanding—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Plus, the location in Romford is ideal, making it a convenient spot for a bite to eat.

The best part? It’s all reasonably priced for the quality of food and experience. I would definitely recommend The Yummy Greek to anyone looking for a tasty meal in a welcoming setting.

From arrival to the very end the service was lovely , our waitress was happy and polite and so helpful with recommendations for us , the food came hot and on time. The taste definitely was yummy and fresh and the portion sizes did not disappoint ! We will definitely be regulars at yummy Greek! Thank you all for your service for us :) x

I visited this restaurant recently. The atmosphere was good, the surroundings made you feel as if you were in a Greek cafe in Greece. There is a good menu offering a wide variety. I ordered a yummy chicken plate that came with chicken, crispy fresh salad, fries and pitta bread. The plate was literally loaded with food. The only thing for me was that the chicken was very salty, maybe a little heavy handed when seasoning with the salt. Overall definitely worth a visit. If it's a sunny day there are a few tables outside.

Tilaw

The location was quite easy to find, despite some conflicting reviews. They mentioned being out of stock for cocktails, which was disappointing since they had just opened.

My friend and I ordered the adobo wings and lumpia, both of which were very well-seasoned and tasty. For our main courses, I had the crispy honey garlic chicken with rice, while my friend chose the crispy pork with rice.

When the food arrived, I was immediately struck by the tiny portion of the crispy pork dish. The pork looked incredibly dry, and my friend, who tried it, found it too hard and painful to eat, so she had to send it back to the kitchen to order something else.

The honey garlic chicken was okay, but it wasn’t as well-seasoned as I would have liked. I managed to finish it, though.

During our visit, we were also surprised to see two guys set up to sing, which made it difficult for us to hear each other across the table.

Overall, I had a mixed experience. The wings and lumpia were delicious, but the rest of the food was disappointing. I don’t think I’ll be returning for anything, other than the wings for takeaway.

Tilaw was recommended by a friend for us to try their catering service for our wedding day and so we did. It did not dissappoint us. The food was great and the team really go beyond to deliver their service. Price per head was also reasonable. Everyone went home with a happy tummy after the event. Communicating with them was also easy and they will really try their best to cater your request. Highly recommended!

My first time to eat here.everything was very nice from the friendly staff and service to the lovely fresh cooking. I ordered lechon kawali and a coke.beautiful food and very filling..I was hoping to have dessert but I was full on one course..shall have to return another day.salamat for a very nice lunchtime. 🙏 and great value to.

Back today for lechon kawaii,very nice,had the chicken skin nachos to,good value and friendly service..31/7/25.

We were excited to try Tilaw for the first time and even traveled an hour to get there. Since it was our first visit we were confused at first because the door sign said “Closed” which made us hesitate even though we could see staff and guests inside. So I went near the door to ask and we went it. My husband asked me "is this how Filipino restaurant operates?" since the girl working there was not welcoming the moment we enter. Still we tried to enjoy our date.

The food itself was very good the crispy pork belly definitely satisfied my cravings! Unfortunately there was no soup available that day. I also had to ask the staff if one of the dishes contained pork since my husband doesn’t eat it, but she seemed unsure. It turned out to be sweet and sour fish. I understand she might have been tired but as front-of-house staff a warm welcome, a smile, and clearer communication would have made the experience much better.

Overall, the food was enjoyable but desserts were served quite late. Hopefully next time the service experience matches the quality of the dishes. Thank you for the great food!

We woke up so early since we live in London to try their Saturday breakfast buffet in Romford. The price was £12.49 which was really good and affordable. And oh man the price was super worth it because the food that were on the buffet were so tasty!

The beef tapa was delightful. The longganisa was really good too. The hotdog which looks like Tender Juicy hotdog was surprisingly very good. It was as if you were eating the real TJ hotdog. The pork tocino was also flavourful, like it was marinated and seasoned well! Generally, our experience was amazingly pleasant with their breakfast buffet.

One thing I could say for improvement is that maybe do not advertise food that will not be there on the buffet. I remember the ads said they were meant to have Champorado but it was not actually there when we ate. But otherwise, hands down to the chef who made and cooked all the food.

Will surely recommend this and come back again! 😁

A sophisticated escape from the ordinary, where every dish tells a story of culinary craftsmanship. Located in the heart of London, this is where London's food scene comes alive.

CREM Kitchen

A really nice fine in an even lovelier location. Staff here are very helpful and accommodating. Food is a bit in the middle rating wise just because the burger was great, juicy, well cooked and the chips were great. The drinks, especially the milkshakes were really good. Fish tacos were very floury and the calamari just shed it's batter all too easily, to the point it was difficult to eat. However the Bao buns were perfectly lovely, so a mixed bag.

Visited at 5pm on a Saturday and sat out in the terrace.
We were promptly seated and given enough space for our pram too.
From the menu we ordered Bao Buns (1x keema and 1x fried chicken), Korean wings, calamari and fries. The food was faultless, absolutely delicious and a fair portion size. A credit to the chef. Highly recommend the wings and the keema bao bun.
Service was a little slow as it took around 20-30mins for our order to be taken despite the terrace not being too busy at our time of visit and 3 waitstaff visibly inside where no one was seated. Staff however were very polite and accommodating.
My son needed a nappy change and did not feel comfortable changing him in the changing room as it wasn't clean. I had to wipe down everything whilst he was crying and the changing station was extremely low and angled so had to try to stop him rolling off with one hand and change with the other.
Gorgeous venue with great food. Only complaint is service efficiency and baby changing toom cleanliness. I would revisit and recommend to others.

Crem Kitchen
Today we enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Crem Kitchen. This restaurant is at the entrance to Raphael’s Park and overlooks the lake. It is a great place for a coffee , a drink , a quick lunch and also Private Events.
When we arrived we received a delightful welcome from the team before being seated at our table. Once settled it was nice of owner Megha to come over for nice chat. The restaurant had recently undergone a refurbishment and I have to say it did look much more stylish.
We then ordered a drink while we looked at the menu which has a very good variety of cuisine from Korean , Chinese , Indian , fish , steaks , burgers , dessert and a Roast on Sundays.
We started by ordering a few dishes from the Small Plates including Korean Chicken Wings which were delicious , the heavenly Keema Bao Buns and the Sichuan Spicy Pork Dumplings. For our main courses we went for the Pork Belly Sunday Roast and the New Lamb Chops with garlic mash , broccoli and chimichurri which was an absolute delight.
I then enjoyed the Salted Caramel and Chocolate Brownie that was sweet and chocolate heaven as was the vanilla ice cream.
We finished with a coffee to bring our lunch to an end. I would definitely recommend a visit to Crem Kitchen because for one the food is great , the staff are very friendly and it’s a great place for couples , families and private parties. They also have a lovely terrace so when the sun does come out you can enjoy outside dining overlooking the lake.
Thank You Megha and all the team for a fantastic lunch and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Great place to dine. Food was great. Staff were really nice and friendly. The restaurant has lovely views of the lake across.

No parking on premises for guests but guests are directed to the car park for the Park across the road.

Amazing place for a special dinner! We’ve been there for a birthday celebration. Great staff, especially the general manager, she is brilliant, made our dinner magnificent. Thank you CREM Kitchen!
We’ll back soon..

Kervan Kitchen Gidea Park

For people from Central London, I find the food is good value for money. Big portions. Tasty. Well presented. The crayfish with avocado would be better if the amount of sauce can be much reduced.

I had an amazing experience at Kervan Kitchen Gidea Park. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The kebab was perfectly cooked and went so well with the salad and rice.
A big thank you to everyone in the kitchen, especially Chef Engin for his care and delicious touch! I’ll definitely be coming back. 👏🍽️

Food tastes great, and presented well. Staff were nice and helpful.

Very disappointed. I have been few weeks ago with some friends and was nice . I decided to go last night with my family and was very disappointed very big difference from last time. I ordered same food and we had a very bad experience because the food not even close to what we had .   I try to attach some pictures to show how they just throw some leftover in the plate . We can play find the difference.🥺

This us by far the best Turkish restaurant I've been to in London. The quality of food is second to none. The portion sizes are massive, with prices to suit. Well worth a visit and you won't be disappointed. The service was warm and impeccable, the decor was very inviting and spacious. Kervan Kitchen caters for everyone. The music was at the right volumn and the waiters got together to sing Happy Birthday to one of the diners. Such a lovely gesture. I will definately go back again and again so I can try everything on the menu.

Stack & Sizzle

Lovely place, they food is seasoned really well and well flavoured. A nice and clean place. Went there with my family. Have to admit they do the best fries. Would highly recommend this place. A bonus is that it is also halal. 😊

really cheap, very good and fresh food. the staff is very nice! I highly recommend going here.

This is a decent new burger place that’s just opened - I wasn’t blown away by the surf and turf burger as an overall package, but the beef patties themselves were pretty good. My partner liked the firecracker beef wrap a bit more than my burger.

The fries were really good however - the chilli salt was very nice.

I also liked the spacious interior and plentiful number of tables.

Looking forward to trying the other items on the menu.

Food was too good .everybody should try this signature Burgers “surf & Turf”  this taste was amazing.

Such a lovely and welcoming atmosphere. The food was really good and it was really quick. Perfect 👍

Neyzen Restaurant and Pods

5 stars isn't enough for Neyzen Romford!! The Turkish meal was absolute perfection, the quality of the meat was mind-blowing 🤯! We were seriously bowled over by the flavors and tenderness. Can't wait to come back and try their Indian menu - the anticipation is killing us! 😋 Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Neyzen Romford, you've got a loyal customer in us 👏👌!

Lovely looking restaurant with a lot of potential. Went for a friend’s 40th birthday. It’s easy to find with a large car park at the back of the restaurant. Came here after doing a google search for halal restaurants in the area and this looked quite fancy and the menu was appealing too with a wide variety of dishes on offer.

6 of us dined here on a Saturday evening and this very large restaurant was practically empty - I guess this should’ve been our sign. We ordered food and waited over 40 minutes for it to arrive - staff were barely interested. Half of the group ordered off of the Indian menu and half ordered from the Turkish menu. The drinks arrived straight away and those who ordered mocktails were not very impressed - we even had to send the pina colada back. I ordered a ‘fresh’ lychee juice. When it arrived, it tasted like cheap watered down processed chemical lychee - when I told the waiter that I wanted to send it back, he admitted that it was out of a carton - there were no issues with replacing it with a lemonade however.

Now, let’s get to the food part. It was all awful. Nothing tasted fresh and everything lacked flavour and salt. The curries tasted like the food at old fashioned Bengali curry houses from 20 years ago - thankfully our palates have advanced since then - I’ve had better curries at weddings and on aeroplanes and even the cheap Kebabish down the road. The Turkish food was equally as bad - overcooked chicken that tasted of nothing. Will never eat here again. I don’t love being so negative but I think honest feedback is important so that anyone who reads this can save their money on this ridiculously overpriced food.

The restaurant smells like my kitchen when I’m cooking a curry - duh obviously you may say but I’ve been to so many restaurants and never leave feeling like I smell like the food being cooked in there.

Lastly, the bill. They got it wrong. Asked them to change it and they got it wrong again. Took them 4 attempts to get it right - needless to say, we did not pay the service charge, which was barely existent and also because we felt like we got robbed with the price of the food as it was.

Would not recommend!!!

It is always a delight visiting this place twice now. Offering a unique experience every time. This restaurant has a variety of fusion filled delicious dishes like Mediterranean grills, European, Asian and specialty cuisines. They have outdoor pods for a more private and luxurious dining. The staff are extremely polite and hospitable making money well spent.

I came today and it was awful i had to wait 30mins for my mains....after the daal had no salt the guy took 10mins to come bk to deliver me the daal with more salt....once done i had to wait to pay my bill!!! Like who waits for so long to pay bill. Not even 1 stuff around to check on us.....awful service plus it was cold. The butter chicken had no taste the mutton curry was awfully saucey.

Went here on a Sunday at lunch where it's quiet anyway. Only we were there. But then the service was extremely slow. The food is good, but it would have been much better if it followed at a more sensible time after the starters. Shame because TikTok highly rated this place! That's bad because there's a service charge!

Ciao Bella

In heart of vibrate city Romford just stone throwing away down the street is hidden one of the greatest Italian cuisine restaurant with the famously prepared tasteful dishes a in a traditional Italian manner no matter what you ordering you will be impressed by taste and delicious food and greatest cocktail and drink menu in area.
But you will be surprised to be served by slow motion waiters who will not clean your table until you will not ask them to have table clean and empty glass taken away.
Well they require a good improvement on customer service, however is worth to have a visit and try most delicious Italian food.

We recently celebrated our daughter’s first birthday at this lovely restaurant, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. Every dish we tried was clearly made with care and attention to detail.

It was such a special day for our family, and we’re so glad we chose this place to celebrate it. Thank you for helping make our daughter’s first birthday such a memorable occasion. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Very cosy little place. Came with my partner ordered from the mid week menu offer. Food was outstanding, practically licked the plates clean. Service was nice, atmosphere even better. Most importantly to me, the seats were comfy and not too crowded.

Perfect place 10/10

We had lunch there on Father's day. Everything was so good and we had a lovely time. The food was delicious and the staff very nice. Definitely recommend 👌.

I had a lovely lunch at Ciao Bella, and what truly made the experience special was the service from Saba from Albania. He was warm, funny, and really tried his best to make everything perfect. When I asked about the alcohol content in the white wine and he said “17%”, I joked that I might as well order a shot instead — we both had a good laugh! The food was delish, full of flavour and beautifully presented. It’s little moments like that which make dining out memorable. I’d definitely return, especially to be served by Saba again. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and even better service!

Veyso's Romford Restaurant

Went to lunch on a weekday which was nice and quiet. Service was unexpectedly slow considering we were the only people there. Was surprised not to be offered a lunch menu - only a main menu which was quite expensive. Ordered starters whilst waiting for a friend to arrive who then mentioned the lunch menu. We asked to see the lunch menu and noticed that 2 courses were only £12.90 and 3 courses £15.90, instead of main courses which were on average £20 on the other menu. We asked as the starters we ordered were on the lunch menu so said can we then add a main and it be £12.80, but were told ‘no’ as we ordered the starters from the main menu! Ended up spending £30 per head (including a drink each) instead of what should have been more like £18-20. If you’re going on a weekday between 12-3.30 make sure you specifically ask for the lunch menu or you will not be given it and will pay a lot more! Disappointed in the lack of transparency / flexibility with this menu, will not return.

Nice Vibes.

A nice restaurant with a good vibe. Great for couples and small groups.

The service was good and the waiter was very helpful and nice.

We ordered calamari, dynamite prawns, humus kavurma(?), Veyso's special.

The humus kavurma and calamari was really nice. The dynamite prawns was ok but still had a lot of shells left on the prawn. The Veyso's special was disappointing and I would not order again.

Overall the restaurant was a nice and recommend going at least once.

Decided to take a turn for turkish cuisine today.

Best turkish cuisine I ever had so far.
Ordered the chef specials for two’s and four’s, massive portions even though there were 6 adults (total). If you can’t finish your meal you can get a takeaway, so you can have that for lunch the next day.
Overall, service was top notch and atmosphere is fantastic though some customers were hurrendously loud opposite us, but overall it was granduer experience.

Tops to our waiter for taking down our drinks as soon as we arrived 🙌

Nice food, good portion size, nice decor and  friendly service. I had the falafel which was made at the restaurant rather than bought in as is the case in many places and beautifully presented. Was given gorgeous baklava after the meal which was a lovely treat. Will go again.

Best Turkish in Essex! Been eating here for years and never had a bad meal.
The bread is the best I’ve ever had; so deliciously seasoned and their homemade chilli sauce is incredible!
Highly recommend ordering the hummus kuvurma.
Mains are very large, would recommend sharing 1 between 2 people, or if you order your own and can’t finish it, ask for a takeaway box.
My go-to main is the sarma chicken beyti; absolutely delicious! I forgot to take a picture because I was too excited to eat it, but I’ll be sure to get a picture next time I go and update this review.

Flippin Grill

Ordered via ubereats... cold, stale burnt chips arrived (also delayed delivery by approx 20 mins) , burger was very boring and bland, no sauce on it, nothing. Non of it edible! Furthermore, no salt no pepper no tissues in the bag 😂 To top it off, instead of 7up mojito I got some random tasteless drink lol these lot take the absolute mick. These ratings are BS

What an absolute pleasure being here! I loved the whole experience! The food is awesome, the double patty chicken burger I took was HEAVENLY! So were the messy fries and the wrap and chicken platter.
Every food item was so good, Alhamdulillah
And special attention and hospitality from Mohammed Rizwan brother was commendable ❤️❤️

Oh and while you’re there, TRY THE MILK cake and coconut icecream 🥥❤️
Sosososooo good!!!

Was driving past this place whilst looking for a place to eat, and we were not disappointed! We ordered a few things. Chicken biryani is the best we’ve had to date, succulent hot wings were grilled to perfection, burgers were so good that we ordered a second serving, fries were crisp and fresh, ice cream for dessert served in a coconut shell was refreshing, and customer service was second to none. Would definitely recommend and will visit again!

The chicken biryani was fabulous, with generous portions of chicken.
Chips were fresh and crunchy.
Naga burger was nicely cooked and
Service was very fast.
The grilled chicken and wings were full of flavour and really juicy.
Customer service was amazing too and looking forward to coming back.

This place has opened recently and I thought I would check it out. I ordered a chicken biryani for myself and a halloumi burger for my wife. Both were very tasty! The naga sauce they have is also very good. The staff are very polite and helpful and there is a lot of space inside with comfortable and modern decor, making it ideal to eat in.

Bekash Restaurant & Take Away

First time I have been here for a while as I do not live in the area, but we received a top class service from the moment we walked in, guided to our table and was tended to by four different very smartly dressed staff members during our 1-hour stay, all ensuring we were having a good experience. In addition to that the food was lovely, we had the chicken tikka dansak and mango chicken curry for our mains, both full of taste! Attached photo is the mango chicken. Would certainly recommend.

A great evening at Bekash! Azard and the whole team were absolutely brilliant! Food was as aways delicious, service spot on and the atmosphere top notch! Definitely recommend it and we will be back.

Wednesday deal meal for £15 is great however portions are smalls. my food arrived cold. Tarka shall were crunchy. Keema in samosas, in keema rice and keema naan was tastless. onion bhadjie were huge and tastie, saag aloo was excelent. Normal chicken curry was on a sweet side ich but good.

Food came out quickly and very good value. However some items were hit and miss. Mixed grill especially was very over cooked and had the saddest lamb chop I've ever seen in it! My dinner companions all opted for more traditional curries which they enjoyed. Personally I'd rather pay more for better quality but we had a nice evening and appreciated the friendly service we received.

If you want Authentic food this is the BEST place to go!
I came in minutes before closing and they didn't turn me down from ordering and my food was ready within 10 minutes! The food was nothing short of AMAZING I should have ordered a large! FYI I got a lamb vindaloo, basmati rice and a peshwari naan which was cooked so perfectly! Will defo order from them again.

Paradise Romford

Really disappointed with this takeaway. I ordered jerk chicken and wings for collection, and even though I arrived on time, the order wasn’t ready. I had to wait another 20 minutes, and the lady at the counter didn’t seem interested at all — no update, no apology. When I got home, the food was lukewarm. The jerk chicken was dry and underseasoned, and the wings were overcooked and chewy. One of the sides was missing as well. Honestly, poor service and quality. Definitely not ordering again.

The food here is excellent and well priced. We ordered the Jerk chicken, Curry Goat, Saltfish and sides like plantain, stewed beans, rice and peas and sweet potato fries and they were all delicious.
The people who work here are very kind and attentive. My family and I dined in and really enjoyed ourselves. Would thoroughly recommend.

One of the best curry goat and rice I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend.

I really love the food at Paradise Romford! I've never dined in, only had takeaway, but the quality has always been consistent. The food is delicious, especially their dumplings – absolutely yum and 100% recommended! Their coleslaw is fresh and to die for — definitely one of my favourites.

One thing I would say is that the food could be a bit spicier. For those who enjoy a kick, it might feel a little mild. Also, the prices are on the higher side — if it was more affordable, I'd be ordering from here all the time!

Still, a great spot for tasty food, and I’d love to visit in person sometime soon.

Been to this restaurant about five times now and will keep coming back. So happy I found this gem of a Caribbean restaurant. The flavors are spot on, you can taste the authentic Caribbean spices from the jerk chicken to the curry goat and my personal favourite, the oxtail.  Every dish is cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The portions are generous.

The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Paradise is also family-friendly, which is a huge bonus! My kids love the menu and we always leave with full stomachs and big smiles.

If you’re craving genuine Caribbean flavors in a relaxed setting, Paradise is the place to be. Would Highly recommend you visit.

Ivy Tree

We recently celebrated my sisters birthday with a lunch at Ivy Tree in Romford, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the ambience was warm, inviting, and full of charm. It struck the perfect balance between stylish and comfortable, making it a lovely spot for a special occasion.

We opted for the steak lunch, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were equally impressive, adding a fun and festive touch to the afternoon.

The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. What really stood out, though, was the presentation of the food, especially the desserts. Not only did they taste incredible, but they also looked like works of art. It made the whole experience feel that much more special.

Highly recommend Ivy Tree for anyone looking for great food, lovely atmosphere, and a touch of celebration!

The decor, the food the atmosphere and staff are superb, especially Sherif and Suzanna.
The cocktails were just picturesque a work of art!
Oysters we're fresh and lovely.
Can't fault this place and will definitely be back!!!
Takes you out of Romford and into a little paradise.

I often visit Ivy Tree — the new place opened by a good acquaintance of mine, who also owns another successful restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the incredible atmosphere: everything is brand new, stylish, and thoughtfully designed.

The food is simply outstanding. The beef was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The cocktail selection is exceptional, offering creative and delicious options that perfectly complement the dishes. I must also mention the desserts — especially the Ferrero Rocher chocolate dessert, which was absolutely incredible!

Another thing that makes this place special is the vibrant atmosphere during the evenings, with live music or DJ sets. The music is carefully adapted to the guests, creating a perfect mix between Romanian and international hits, making every night unique and lively.

The service was impeccable, with a friendly and professional staff that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Congratulations on opening such a beautiful new place! I am certain it will become a favorite for many, just as it has for me.

VISIT DATE: SAT 21/12/2024
VISIT TIME: 19:30

Went out for dinner with a couple of former work colleagues, but whilst the food was nice, this isn’t really a restaurant. It’s more of a pub / night club that serves food.

Dingy lighting and music excessively loud. Also very expensive given that it’s Romford.

My girlfriend and I dined at the Ivy Tree Romford, on the 21/09/25, celebrating my birthday. The head waiter, Sherif, was welcoming and to our surprise and delight escorted us to a vip table. We ordered some drinks and our main course (Sea Bass) which was excellent. Prior to the main course, we received a complimentary starter, which was delicious. The atmosphere and music was great, and the icing on the cake, was when leaving, the boss and manager (one named Sarzar) went out of their way to say goodbye and wish us well. All in all, a first class experience. Des

COSMO World Buffet Romford

Overall satisfied experience in this buffet restaurant. You can find many choices of world cuisine, including Chinese, Indian and Japanese etc. They also provided choices of desserts like cheesecake, ice cream, and even fresh fruit. Most of them are tasty but some are salty as well. The issue that I found while eating there was that the floor wasn't that clean in part of the dining area.

First and Last Visit – Disappointing Experience at COSMO Romford

I visited COSMO Romford for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday—and it will definitely be my last.

We had a 6:00 PM booking and arrived 10 minutes early. The man at the front (who turned out to be the manager) told us that if we went in and sat down, our 90-minute dining time would start immediately, even though the rest of our party hadn’t arrived yet. Fair enough—we chose to wait. He said he’d hold the table for 10 minutes.

When the rest of our group showed up, he repeated the same “rules” in a very robotic, army-camp tone: you pay, then your 90 minutes begin. No warmth, no flexibility—just rules barked at us. On top of that, we were met with dismissive expressions from staff, including the manager. It felt like we were being rushed through a conveyor belt, not celebrating a birthday.

After paying and hurrying to the food counters, we were warned at 7:10 PM that our time was nearly up. We were in the middle of secretly trying to bring out a birthday cake for a surprise, and staff interrupted us again at 7:22 PM—this time practically pushing us to leave. When we tried to explain the situation, the staff member ruined the surprise by pressing for answers instead of simply communicating with his colleagues.

Another issue: check your receipt. We sat and paid at 6:17 PM, which should’ve given us until about 7:45 PM. But my receipt said 6:01 PM—meaning they shaved 15 minutes off our time. Feels like a scam.

As for the food:

The grill and Asian selections were good

The carvery meats looked dry and unappetising

Some sides like potatoes were undercooked

Desserts were the highlight

Overall, food was okay, but the service and experience? Completely ruined the evening. For a restaurant that wasn’t even that busy, the lack of hospitality was shocking. I wouldn’t recommend COSMO Romford—especially for a special occasion as you won't have a nice catch up with people.

Had a birthday party here, they are very organised! Can't fault anything. Staff were exceptional. And my step daughter got her meal free as it was her birthday 🎂 🥳 we didnt know that either so was an extra little lift for the day. The whole family was happy and catered for. We had a lovely time and wasnt rushed out at the end even though we made a little mess with all the cake. Would highly recommend for large bookings.

I had the pleasure of dining at cosmo, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy and elegant. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu  they made us feel genuinely welcome.

Excellent service like this really makes a difference. Thank you, Mirza for making our visit so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be asking for you next time we come in!

I had my first visit to this buffet and it was absolutely brilliant! Everything was fresh and tasty – from the aromatic duck to the sweet & sour chicken, each dish was spot on. The atmosphere was great and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to come back this week and make it my regular spot! Just a quick suggestion, it would be fab to have some bread rolls on the menu.

Minoa Restaurant

Decided to go on a weekday with the entire extended family of 25!

From the food to the service and the ambience was absolutely spot on! Orders were taken and managed well. Food arrive promptly and the presentation was just as expected. Will 100% be coming back.

Big shout out to the manager in charge (forgot his name) very welcoming and attentive.

We visited Minoa Pan-Asian on a Friday evening for a family celebration, and it turned out to be a lovely experience. The restaurant is attached to the City Pavilion, which many people may already know as a popular wedding venue. It certainly has that special-occasion feel with elegant décor, a spacious layout, and an atmosphere suited for both celebrations and casual dining.

Starters:
We shared a selection of crispy broccoli, chilli chicken, and dragon roll sushi between four adults. The portion sizes were generous, with enough left over for seconds (and even thirds!). Each dish was flavourful and set the tone well for the rest of the meal.

Mains:
For mains, we ordered the green and red Thai chicken curries (served with jasmine white rice) and a chicken pad Thai. For the kids, we ordered chicken egg noodles. The curries were tasty, rich, aromatic, and full of flavour, with plenty of sauce to enjoy with the rice. The pad Thai, however, was on the sweet side and didn’t win us over. Surprisingly, the kids’ chicken egg noodles were the hidden gem: simple, tasty, and better balanced than the pad Thai.

Desserts:
We finished with a lovely variety of desserts: sticky toffee pudding, mango cheesecake, and ice cream scoops for the kids. To our delight, the restaurant kindly provided a complimentary brownie with ice cream, which was a thoughtful touch. All desserts went down well, though the standout was definitely the mango cheesecake.

Service & ambience:
Service was consistently friendly and attentive, with staff always available when needed. The restaurant itself feels modern and celebratory, making it perfect for special occasions. The live DJ added to the lively atmosphere, though the music was a little too loud at times, making conversation difficult.

Overall:
We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. With its warm service, generous portions, and beautiful setting, Minoa is well worth a visit. We’d happily return and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a mix of flavourful Pan-Asian cuisine in a special setting.

Visited Minoa Restaurant in Collier Row on a Thursday night, and had a great experience. The decor and interior were really well done—stylish, modern, and comfortable. There was also plenty of parking available, which made things very convenient.

The staff were polite and attentive throughout our visit, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The drinks were refreshing and sweet—perfectly balanced.

We tried a few dishes and overall, the food was decent. The Philadelphia Avocado Uramaki sushi was absolutely delicious and fresh. The Chong Qing Chilli Chicken was packed with flavour—highly recommend it if you enjoy a bit of spice.

The Wok Stir-Fry (Lamb Black Pepper with Rice) was also tasty, and the portion was huge—definitely enough for two, maybe even three people, so it’s a great dish to share.

Everything on the menu is halal.

Would definitely return and recommend to others!

Pleasantly surprised and super impressed with the amazing service, delicious pan Asian cuisine and best of all lovely service by their staff. Minoa is a
hidden gem one must explore and will always remember as a family or with friends to visit.

Their sushi 🍱 is spot on, their cocktails 🍸 are well crafted. The Thai curry is absolutely delicious and overall spot hits a vibe with live DJ too.

I visit fine dine restaurants regularly through work and have to say Minoa ranks with the best of Mayfair has to offer..
The decor was high class..
Staff were warm, accommodating and very welcoming..
Service was attentive and exemplary.. most it was so good to see they knew the menu and suggested complimentary dishes
Food.. was one of the best Pan Asian I have had for a very long time.. we must have ordered 10 to 12 different dishes and everyone them were absolutely delicious. I don’t normally eat fish but tried some last night, black cod, sushi and they were great.
Drinks.. they don’t scrimp on measure and great Gin & Tonic
Also very reasonable for the amount we had.
Thank you so much everyone at Minoa for last night.. can’t wait to visit again.

Kervan Saray

Absolutely disgusting I found a long black hair in my food after half way of eating, I called up to complain and they said we will send out a new order, well and truly put of my food I said I’d have it a few weeks time, unsurprisingly they have forgotten all about it, not very good serving chicken rice and long black hair, wasn’t sure that that was on the menu. Absolute sick 🤢

The price, food, and service are good. Considering the price, the food is good. I had a platter. Usually Turkish platters have a mixed doner,  this one didn't but they had Lamb Chops. Usually you get chops in the most expensive platters certainly not at this price range. You also do get different items in other places including different kebabs and hummus. They don't give you humus. Nowadays the price of everything rose. Considering the price, I would say the food was good and the portion was okay (could be better)

Came here on a whim and I’m really glad that I did.

We were warmly greeted at the door by a member of staff and they were attentive and friendly throughout the entire time.

The complimentary bread was 10/10 and so were the complimentary sides. The food was good and flavourful and we were served quickly. We were also given a complimentary rice pudding for dessert which was great too!

Our only criticism was that the restaurant was really cold which kinda dulled our experience. But overall, we’d definitely return and recommend - I can imagine this place would be great for large groups.

We eaten here quite a few times in and take away always good..
Service is really good and today they found my wallet outside were i lost it going to the shops they found it and brang it to my house.. Which they didn't have to do thank you so much

Array Brasserie & Grill

It's a nice place to celebrate your birthdays at with friends and family. It’s a bit on the pricy side - so best prepare your wallet. They do have a healthy selection of meals that will satisfy all. Personally I don’t eat fish because of the smell but despite one of us ordering the sea bass, I didn’t even smell it.

The staff is super helpful and always checking up on you to ensure all is good. The bill comes with a default gratuity of 10% which is fair considering the service we received. They facilitated moving us to a different table when we requested - which is subject to table sitting availability.

Overall, all was good and I would recommend for those who just want a bit fancier atmosphere without it being too suffocating.

Apparently there is a live music performance, but today there wasn’t any when we were there, although it seemed like they were setting it up when we were about to leave.

I love everything here. Very nice atmosphere, good service and incredible food. The sofas are super comfy and clean, next to big windows and nice views to the venue. The food is a feast to the eyes and stomach, very tasty. I got the vegan brunch and was surprised but the size of it. Nice, big, colourful and fresh! The price is fair for everything you will get here. They also have a large free car park and the area overall is super nice. I’m glad I have a place like this close to where I live.
Highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a brunch spot that feels like a treat, Array is definitely the place. I went on a Sunday with family, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like we were celebrating something. Expect full platters, fluffy pancakes, good quality brunch, we chose Mediterranean and American brunch, which was delivered on taste and presentation.

A spacious restaurant, which was great for a girls catch-up as it was empty on a Thursday night.

My friends tried the BBQ chicken wings and hummus with bread. For my mains, I had the chicken shish with hand cut chips. The chicken was tender and well cooked.

There was a miscommunication and our waiter charged us for a bottle of wine instead of 3 glasses and was only able to amend it by taking off the service charge so please do check your bill if you do visit.

Would love to see some vegan desserts that aren’t sorbets!

My family and I really enjoyed the Mother’s Day special set menu!
We were served by a lovely and extremely attentive waitress, Elena. She made sure we were well looked after. Other servers also checked up on us multiple times which added to the friendly atmosphere.
The portion sizes were amazing and every meal was packed with flavour at a good hot temperature.
It is the perfect environment for families as the seating is accessible and comfortable and the music is appropriate for all.
The restaurant was very busy so I would definitely recommend booking beforehand. Honestly would highly recommend for anyone looking for a good place to enjoy great food with friends or family!😊

MyShish Romford

Disappointing Experience at MyShish Romford

I recently attended an event at MyShish Romford and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish.

The food quality was poor — the chicken wings were undercooked, the chicken shish was lukewarm, the rice was overly salty, and the lamb was tough and dry. For a restaurant that presents itself as a quality dining venue, this was very unexpected.

The service was even worse. There were only two waiters trying to serve around 60 guests, which made the entire evening chaotic. Why not hire more staff???? Food was coming out slowly, and some guests from our party ended up helping to serve the dishes and even clearing dirty plates just to keep things moving. Like what? Was a service not paid for???

It took an unreasonably long time to get drinks, and when dessert finally arrived, it was served in foil containers, which felt careless and unprofessional for a pre-booked event. I guess they didn’t want to wash anymore dishes ???

Not all bad though, the dynamite prawns, bread and humous, brownie and ice cream was fantastic only good thing to come from that three course meal.

Overall, the experience felt very disorganised and disappointing. MyShish Romford really needs to improve both the quality of their food and their level of service, especially when hosting large groups.

Very nice restaurant. Have lots of options in the menu. Food tasted great. Could have bigger rice portion. Drinks were very nice. Shre was a very good waiter and gave great service. Would highly recommend.

Visited this restaurant with friends. The food was nice, prices generally reasonable and portions generous. I had been recommended MyShish by a friend who had visited their Woodford branch. Perhaps I should have tried that branch. One thing I found a bit odd was that some of the food came on trays instead of plates, which was a little off-putting.  Also, it was a bit chilly inside, which wasn't ideal on a cold night! I would have rated it lower however the staff were nice and friendly. There's no parking on site so you will need to find parking.

We had Sisi serve me and my partner and he is definitely the person you want making your cocktails or for entertainment. He made sure we was seated somewhere suitable for our needs and made sure we was comfortable no matter what. When he found out it’s my birthday he came out with a sprinkler. The food is not only affordable but also tasty. Me and my partner enjoyed the wagyu burger best. I would 100% recommend and 100% will be returning.

We had a very nice lunch at My collier in Romford. It wasn't very busy today, perhaps it was a weekday.
Sissy, the person attended to us was very helpful and efficient!
We loved the food.
The healthy fresh orange juice and the carrot juice were good! The bread was so soft and slightly spicy. It came with a very tasty aubergine, green pepper dish called Shakshaka. My main was a grilled chicken wings which came with a nice salad and some long grain rice. Instead of mixing all the vegetables together, they presented them separately, so that if anyone didn't like any of those veggies, they could leave it out and enjoy the rest which was garnish with a nice dressing.

Shahs Halal Food Romford Road

Man this place is a hidden gem.

Found them on Uber Eats and thought I'd give it a try. They did not disappoint.

I got the mixed meat and chicken dish with rice and another one with chips. It was delicious. The Sauces were incredible.

Highly recommend this place.

Went there for iftar, and the service was very quick and efficient. The servers were very nice and helpful. The food was impeccable, and the portions were fantastic. I highly recommend the fries box with chicken and all the sauces.

I ordered on uber eats and there was a hair in my meat gyro. The meat from it tasted like fake food. I also order the chicken and rice the flavour was okay but the portion size is horrible. The rice looked liked it was patted down and spread out because i couldn’t even scoop a spoon of rice. It was like eating leftovers and i had to scrape it out the box.

The food is decent, but be prepared for a long wait. Even though it’s a food truck, orders are batched together - so if others order at the same time, your food won’t come out until everyone’s is ready. This has happened a few times now, so it’s not just a one-off. If you plan to visit, just know you’ll need some patience.

I’ve ordered from here 4 times and it’s always taste really good and it serves me 2 meals from one ❤️ the white sauce, hot sauce and green chilli sauce 💯 u have to add that on it’s a must. The mango and strawberry fizzy drinks are really good 👍🏼

Ordered on Just Eat. Food came within 20 minutes absolutely piping hot. Portion sizes were massive and quality of food was unreal. My new favourite place! Would 100% recommend.

Was passing through Romford for the day and thought I'd stop for a kebab. The sign in the window made a bold claim: 'Best Kebab in Romford'. I'm going to make an even bolder claim and say that this is by far, the best  kebab I've ever had! Also, thanks to the very polite man who served me. If I ever come past again, im 100% coming again!

Was looking for a healthy-ish dinner and found this place. To put it simply: the food was amazing! Arrived still warm, portions are big, delivery person was lovely, and most importantly the food was delicious! Everything was so tasty, will order again!

Great fast, Good service food. Staff was very helpful over the phone. Will defo order again . (Didn’t take pictures of my food, so I used the images from my order)

Chef Asia
