Le Hope Balti House, Rainham - (Near , london)

Evie Cantwell We had such a lovely evening at Bella Italia! The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed, but what genuinely made the visit stand out was the service. Sunikan looked after us and he was fantastic! Really friendly, attentive and still calm while looking after multiple tables at once. He mentioned he’s only been there about 8 months, which honestly surprised us because he handled everything like a seasoned pro. I’d asked if it was possible to move to a quieter table and he sorted it straight away, very discreetly and without any fuss or drawing attention to it, which we really appreciated. He checked in at the right times, made sure everything was sorted quickly and just had a really welcoming manner that made the whole experience better. Also a big thank you to the kitchen as they clearly work just as hard and the food was genuinely 10/10. He’s a credit to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Alex McAndrew We came for my friends birthday lunch. Food was brilliant, they helped us make sure we ordered just the right amount for 4 people. Service was great, lovely people who were very friendly. And they brought him out some birthday baklava as well, we didnt have to ask. I dont live in Dalston, but would come back to come here.

Preet Sandhu I recently dined at this restaurant and walked away genuinely impressed. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting—stylish without being pretentious, and comfortable enough to settle in and enjoy the experience. The staff (preet and sumaira) were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, striking that perfect balance of being helpful without hovering. The food was the real highlight. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu offered a great mix of classic favorites and creative options, making it easy to find something exciting no matter your taste. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything came out at just the right temperature. Overall, this restaurant delivers on all fronts: great food, excellent service, and a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re planning a casual meal or a special night out, it’s absolutely worth a visit……

Clair Fordyce-Gray We booked for Saturday and couldn’t make it so walked in on Sunday afternoon. We were met by the manager(I think: tall guy with tattoos) at the door. He acknowledged us quickly, cleared the table that we wanted to sit at (far corner, right hand side, in the window). We were handed menus and drinks orders were taken. The coffee was served hot and was delicious. Our server, Anna, was beautiful, friendly and sincerely happy and smiling. We asked for her recommendation and I went with it- Huevos rancheros with chorizo and my partner had sausage, egg and chips. Both were delicious, beautifully cooked and presented. The service was excellent and the cost reflected that. I do not hesitate to recommend this place and will definitely be going back.

W The team is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The freshly baked pizzas are excellent, with special praise for the Italian smoked beef, the mushroom Sm burrata, and the Tiramisù. The entire restaurant is inviting and spotless. Well done!

Ana Trujillo I visit Rocco every time I am in town. The food is always incredible and the service is fun! Can’t recommend the enough whether you are in the mood for pasta, pizza or just want to grab a glass of wine!
