NagaMama - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

Khashim Uddin I visited Buddies after seeing their TikTok videos, and I’m glad I did. We tried the East End Burger, East End Wings, Spicy Dip Burger, and the East End Doner, along with an Oreo milkshake. The East End sauce was creamy with a nice spicy kick. The wings were big, juicy, and had perfectly crispy breading. The fillet burger was huge — honestly, I could’ve been satisfied with just that alone. You can really tell the doner they use is higher quality, definitely better than the usual PFC stuff. The Oreo milkshake was a hit with the kids. Even though I got takeout, the store itself looked modern and clean. Alhamdulillah, it’s a much better alternative to KFC, and it felt good knowing I was supporting a local business.

Aainta Noor I’ve ordered Chicken Manchurian with plain rice and some papadums,but I think they mistakenly gave me meat Manchurian,it didn’t taste like chicken to me,however I always order from this place as I enjoy their other meals,but with this one I was disappointed,because this really didn’t taste like chicken Manchurian,tasted more like meat curry,just because I was hungry I had to eat it,as I couldn’t get a refund from what I got..

Ayyub Just came across Krave Takeaway, newly opened in the area. They have a great opening offer, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Deluxe Chicken Burger and a mix of wings (both grilled and fried). The burger was excellent—really thick, juicy, and full of flavour. The wings were also a hit; the grilled ones had a delicious smoky taste, and the fried ones were perfectly crispy. Great quality, reaaonably pri ed, and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Billie Walker Wonderful pub in a gorgeous location. It says a lot that so many of the staff have been here so long and are so lovely. Food is always great. I have moved to the other side of London, but there is nowhere like it and I still make a long journey to have dinner or drinks here from to time and it’s very much worth it. Sunday roasts are fantastic, as is the menu the rest of the time. Hidden gem!

Maria McCann What a fantastic new location! Decor is beautiful, food is delicious and the team are wonderful! We had a great evening! Cannot wait to come back!

Kevin Coaker We were wowed by nearby Café Cecilia earlier this year, so were excited to try INIS for our anniversary dinner. For a dark autumn evening, Hackney Wick was surprisingly lively, and the team at INIS kindly found us a spot for a pre-dinner drink when we arrived 45 minutes early. First off, the three staff on duty were absolutely lovely - friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic, with the Irish influence shining through in all the right ways. I had the winter salad, while my wife’s duck starter was just as tempting. My John Dory main was sublime, and the wine list full of interesting options - we chose a lovely Vernaccia from Tuscany. We’re already keen to return to try the Sunday lunch once winter properly sets in.
