I’m giving 3 stars mainly because of the taste of the food. I usually choose the restaurant for our weekly dinners, and unfortunately, this was the first time everyone in our group of six was unhappy with my choice. It was a disappointing experience. We couldn’t finish any of our meals, everything was too salty, and most dishes looked and tasted the same, with the same colour and gravy across the board. I've tried many Sri Lankan restaurants around East London, but sadly, Singham Bay didn’t meet the mark. We mentioned the saltiness to the staff, but apart from a quick “sorry,” there was no real acknowledgment — even though they could clearly see we hadn't touched most of the food. We originally ordered 3 biryanis, but after taking the order, we were told they’d run out. Later, they brought just one biryani, which looked unappetizing and tasted just as poor. The dosa was too oily, the chutneys lacked flavour, and the fish had no seasoning or taste. The chicken lollipop was oddly sweet and salty at the same time. The fish platter was underwhelming, and the naan was rubbery. On the positive side, the decor was nice but the music was far too loud, which made it hard to talk. Sorry, Singham Bay — I really wanted to like the place, but the food and overall experience left me very disappointed. I felt I needed to share this so others know what to expect. You need to work with your food taste.

Absolutely unbeatable food and for the quality you get for the price you pay is unmatched. Authentic Sri Lankan food with amazing bits from starters to mains and even the deserts! We ordered way too much food and paid around £35pp between 6 people including drinks! Will definitely go back

We had an amazing experience at Singam Bay in Ilford! We were a group of 27, and Thantha managed everything smoothly with professionalism and friendliness — truly outstanding service. The food was just as impressive: flavourful chicken lollipops, sizzling mixed grill platters, and crispy calamari, all beautifully presented. Highly recommend for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and excellent service!

Delicious beyond words. Super friendly staff, kind and helpful. Made our time so enjoyable last month. Our first time trying Sri Lankan food and this place did not disappoint 🔥 Definitely coming back with my friends and family.

Absolutely outstanding. Top quality food and very kind waiters. All the food was delicious and at a very affordable price. It was our first time dining in this area and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning! The staff were all lovely and service was quick. Interior was beautiful and had an expensive feel. Accessibility is good, free parking available right outside Recommendations: Nethili Fry (was so good we ordered it twice!), chicken 65 and roti and lamb curry.
