Sambal Express Barkingside - (Near Redbridge, london)

4 /5 Joris Scholten: We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it was perfect. The staff brought out the dessert with a candle and sang — such a lovely gesture! The food was delicious, especially the creamy pasta and tiramisu.

5 /5 Jobin Alex: Best place to go for sound Indian and srilankan snacking items and quick foods. The rates are very much affordable and is the best option for bachelors and families too. Tastes good and will definitely be visiting again.

5 /5 Chris Hew: Here is a natural Google review you could use: Sample Express in Barkingside is easily one of the best Sri Lankan takeaways in the area. The food is full of authentic flavour and tastes just like proper homemade Sri Lankan cooking. The kottu, curries and short eats are always fresh, well spiced and generously portioned. The service is friendly and the food is consistently good every time I visit. If you are looking for genuine Sri Lankan takeaway around Barkingside, this is definitely the place to try. Highly recommended.

4 /5 Fussy Vegetarian: Essentially a take out dhaaba. But small portions :(( Veg and non-veg clearly labelled and kept apart. But the staff could not advise if food was gluten free. Idli’s are soft and fluffy but very small. Sambar had the right level of tang but such a small portion! Vadda with spinach never disappoints.

5 /5 Alaa Addin: Great food! I often buy their vegetarian items and really enjoy them. However, when I ask if their chicken or mutton is halal, they say it is, but I haven’t seen any halal certification displayed in the shop. It would be reassuring if they could show their halal certification in the future.
