Lahori Darbar Restaurant - (Near Redbridge, london)

Sangeeth Sebastian An average shop at best. The biriyani is just… okay — definitely not the kind that gives you a “wow” moment. It’s missing soul, personality, and frankly, any ambition. I ordered at 7:30pm and the food arrived at 9:30pm. So here’s a tip: order from this place, put on a full movie, and by the time the screen says “The End”, your food might finally show up. The beef curry is passable, but honestly, show some respect to the beef. It looks like it’s been around longer than I have. Porotta is fine — nothing to complain about, nothing to celebrate either. Try it once if you want to get a hang of the food… or at least the waiting time.

Akhshaya Niranjan Al Qasr made our birthday party unforgettable. The venue was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, and the buffet food stayed warm all night. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help. Guests loved the atmosphere and raved about the food. The main hall fit our sixty-person party perfectly and looked stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration.

S M Had a fantastic experience at Royal Nawaab in Ilford. The food was excellent with a huge variety to choose from, and everything we tried was fresh, flavourful, and well presented. The buffet was constantly being refilled, and the dessert selection was just as impressive. The staff were attentive and organised despite how busy it was, which made the evening feel smooth and enjoyable. Great atmosphere for families or celebrations. Definitely worth the visit and I’ll be coming back.

Jacqui Jacs Good African Music. Enjoyable night every time. People are so friendly not to mention their generosity. Good food, reasonably priced alcohol, and you can sit down when your feet are tired.

Affy This place is busy. The Mega breakfast should actually be a challenge lol. Top breakfast place, they do Jacket Potatoes too, never tried them tho. The breakfasts are a good size. Omellete was very filling and tasty. Very well cooked.

Abhilash Mukherjee Extraordinary kulcha and best staff. This is now my favourite place to eat kulcha. There may brother places with good Indian kulcha but this places is second to none. One of the best food I had in a while. The staff there is very friendly where you could have a laugh as well. Loved the service which only added another layer to the taste. This shows that the quality of any outlet does not only depend in food but staff as well. We met Anmol andi cannot forget his extraordinary service is sense of humour, the food was so good that i had to say thank you to the chef (Harman) personally. The place can improve the sitting area. Overall, unforgettable food and excellent service. I look forward to visit this place again when I visit Ilford. PS: I visited many sweet shops and no one knew what kaju katli is.. this shop sells authentic kaju katli as well. Highly recommended.
