Emerald Cafe Bistro - (Near Redbridge, South East)

4 /5 Akber Ali: Visited Emerald Café Bistro on Roman Road and ordered the Emerald Breakfast Platter for 2 along with tea, while my partner had an iced latte. The platter was beautifully presented and came loaded with eggs, sausages, turkey bacon, beans, toast, chips, French toast, pancakes, fruits, mushrooms, tomatoes, and syrup — everything was full of flavour. Even though it’s meant for two people, we struggled to finish it, so it’s definitely a generous portion! The café itself is stunning inside with its green and gold decor, hanging flowers, and warm, cosy atmosphere. The gold cutlery and elegant setup make it feel quite special. On my second visit, I tried the Emerald Special, which was nice but slightly disappointing for the price since it didn’t include chips or pancakes like the platter. The good thing is that both dishes come with refills on beans, which is a lovely touch. They accept both cash and card payments. It does lose one star, though, as the tables were sticky on my first visit — and unfortunately still the same on the second. Hopefully next time, the tables won’t be sticky anymore. Overall, the food and service were great, and it’s a lovely spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ll definitely come back again for the food and atmosphere!

5 /5 IZMY: A Local Gem – Delighted Emerald Cafe is Now in Roman Road! I’ve been to the Emerald Cafe in Goodmayes before and really enjoyed it – high-quality food, great service, and a solid location – so I was thrilled to see they’ve opened a branch in East London, right near Roman Road. Even better, it’s close to home! I had the Full English and a cappuccino, and both were excellent. Everything on the plate was really good quality, and they even offer a refill on the beans – a nice touch! The coffee was smooth and just how I like it. The café itself has plenty of space and comfy seating. The staff were friendly and attentive – one in particular young lady kept an eye out to make sure everything was okay throughout my visit. As a local with a Tower Hamlets permit, parking nearby was easy too. It was my first time at this branch today, and definitely won’t be the last. Thank you Emerald team!

There is also outdoor seating available. The food itself was delightful, and the English breakfast & the Desi Breakfast were especially satisfying. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it. Would definitely be coming back with my friends and family.

4 /5 Elisa Nancy: The food is really good quality. I have tried few halal breakfast cafe and this was on point! Egg yolk still runny as it supposed to be with hard white! Sausage super taste and soft and even the turkey bacon was a delish! Overall great place for brunch in the middle of the nature! Definitely recommend it!

5 /5 R B: So sooo good. It is nice that the restaurant is inside the park. The staff were so lovely and friendly. They allowed us to stay and eat in as they were soooo close to their closing time. So accommodating and i will definitely come again just because of how kind the staff were. The food was AAMAAAAZING too. But staff have made this restaurant a regular visit for me.
