La Locanda - Authentic Italian Cuisine - (Near Hackney, london)

Aj Coker My go-to restaurant was unexpectedly closed, so I decided to try The Grill and Jollof based on its proximity and online reviews. I was not disappointed! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was top-notch. I ordered the mixed jollof and fried rice with the suya wings. The lady who took my order recommended the wings, and she was right, they were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The fried rice was also surprisingly good, its not usually my favourite, but I really enjoyed it. But the real star of the show was the jollof, it had a fantastic smoky flavor and was truly one of the best Ive ever tasted. The name The Grill and Jollof is spot on, and Ill definitely be back for more of those juicy wings and that amazing jollof no doubt.

zakiyah a Best brunch I’ve ever had. No notes. Recommended by my sister and safe to say this will be my new spot. They were so attentive, gave no hesitation when I requested to customise my food order. The food was hot, fresh, seasoned and sensational. Such fun and tasty drinks too!!

// K A I L E I G H // Came here for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time! The place is decorated so beautifully and the lovely waiter, I think his name was Kesha, was so kind and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the food!!! Especially the chorizo tortilla, red wine meatballs, and sizzling prawns! Couldn’t recommend the place enough! Thank you for an incredible evening ♥️

Yus Ali I had come here yesterday evening for dinner with my partner, I’ll give you a run down of the restaurant and the value for money and quality of food: Price: £9 per person, this allows you to eat as much as you want for around 2hrs. 2/5 stars Service: hardly any service, just main counter where you pay and get a plate with cutlery from. So I would not say much of a service, 1 cleaner who is also taking plates away from tables once you leave. 1/5 stars Food quality: by looking at the food from the outside it looks pretty decent, when we attended the food buffet counter I found some of the food to be warmish and not hot enough, the selection was not massive but had some of the usual things you would find in a Chinese takeaway but missing quite a few basics too. There were also no deserts or fresh fruits which would have probably helped the shops selections. 3/5 stars Overall I can’t give more than 3/5 stars for this place but felt if I could give 2.5/5 stars this would be a better reflection. I probably wouldn’t come back here unless things changed and there were more selection going on considering the amount of food places within a 2 min walk.

Isabella The food is done to perfection and also a good price...100%recommend

Alyssa Burnett We loved this little place. They have just about everything you could want on the menu, including some of the best blueberry pancakes weve had in a long time.. was there a hint of cinnamon in them? So good, fluffy, and warm. We loved the fresh orange juice, the porridge was incredible, and they had great beverages (we got a latte, coffee, and a matcha). One of the best parts was the fact that it was in a park so my toddler could run around and come back for random bites when she pleased. There were tons of dogs around and so many activities so it was like breakfast and entertainment in one.
