Valli Chock We had some Chappattis of different varieties (beetroot, coriander, sweet potato & plain) from Hema’s Kitchen. They were very Authentic, awesome, aromatic and tasty. All the ingredients used are vegan and high quality. The side dishes, tomato thokku & dhal were extraordinary and went well with the Chappathi. Hema has put her heart and love in making the food and would recommend everyone to give it a try.

Sachin Fernando My friend and I went for dinner at Adchaya Bhavan, and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The service was excellent, and we can’t thank the staff enough. The food was amazing! We ordered chicken biriyani and chicken kottu, thinking the portions might be small, but they were actually very generous. We had more than enough to eat and even took some leftovers home. My favourite was the chicken biriyani — it was absolutely delicious — and I really enjoyed the kottu as well. We also had two masala teas, which were superb. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Reza Rajabpour This was my first visit to The New Fairlop Oak, and overall it was a good experience. The outdoor seating area is very pleasant and well laid out, and the indoor hall is extremely large, spacious, and clean, which makes it comfortable even when the place is busy. The menu is full and offers a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. I ordered breakfast, and the quality and portion size were excellent for the price, offering great value for money. The ingredients tasted fresh and the food was well presented. The staff were professional and knowledgeable, although they seemed a little impatient at times. However, service was still efficient and everything was handled properly. Overall, it’s a good spot for breakfast or a casual visit, and I would consider coming back again.

Thanmai Reddy Had the chicken shawarma at Urban Chai and it was absolutely fantastic! The wrap was freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned, and packed with juicy, flavorful chicken and fresh veggies. Every bite was bursting with taste. The staff here deserve a special mention—they were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. From the warm welcome to the quick service, everything felt effortless and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re craving a delicious shawarma and great vibes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Abid Uddin The food is absolutely amazing and it came quick. The staff was extremely friendly and answered any questions I had about the dishes. It’s been my goto Indian for almost 4 years now and they also deliver which is always on time.
