OKO Resto Lounge - (Near Redbridge, South East)

Mes V Great time out with the family. About 5 other people in the cafe when we, a group of 8, showed up. Waiter took our orders and food showed up soon enough. Portions were large and food cooked through and tasty. We ordered dessert too and that was tasty and came in good time although one order came slightly later. Toilets are upstairs though so not accessible to wheelchair users. Parking can be found around the cafe, we parked up at the local leisure centre which was about 5 mins walk away. Prices at the cafe were fair considering its location and demographics. We visited during Barking Market day (Tuesday, also on Thurs & Sat) so busy outside but inside it was quieter and a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle outside. Its also about 10mins walk from Barking Station so helpful for those families travelling on tube etc. Staff were friendly (not overly familiar or smiley), professional and got down to serving us with aplomb. Nothing too much for them. One of our party spilt a drink and we had to move tables due to the mess, but we werent made to feel like we were an inconvenience or silly, floor was mopped, table wiped and back to business as usual. Brilliant service! Really helpful people, thank you for having us!!

Naila the Foodie The Barking Mad (in picture) and Oriental Burger was so delicious, crunchy and juicy! I wish I didnt order double patties though because one was big enough. The chips are also fantastic, just the right amount of salt and a generous portion provided. Nothing was too spicy, and once again the patties were pretty massive!

Abdul Hafeez Mohammed I ordered Nihari and Naan which was amazingly tasty. Quantity was sufficient for two people and stomach filling as well. Naan was fresh and hot. Service is very fast. Non veg here is halaal. The restaurant is very spacious and has good seating capacity. The staff is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. I will definitely visit again.

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.

Imran Zm If you’re around Barking Riverside and spot the Good Meal Jamaican food cart, it’s definitely worth stopping by. Don’t let the simple setup fool you—this place delivers big, authentic Caribbean flavours. The jerk chicken is a standout, grilled to perfection with a smoky kick and just the right level of spice. The curry goat is rich, tender, and full of deep seasoning that tastes like it’s been slow-cooked with care. Served with rice and peas, plus sweet fried plantains, every meal feels hearty and satisfying. What really makes this food cart special is the freshness and speed. Everything is served hot, portions are generous, and the value for money is excellent. The service is friendly and down-to-earth, adding to the overall experience. For a quick, flavour-packed meal on the go, Good Meal’s food cart brings a proper taste of Jamaica right to the streets of Barking Riverside. Definitely one of those local gems you’ll keep coming back to.

Akmal Fantastic good with brilliant service. Limited amount of seating but tables are okay for four people.
