Emerald Cafe Bistro - (Near Redbridge, london)

Ruma Devi I visited Mumbai 7 on Saturday night and I have to say it was quite busy for a Saturday evening. We didn’t have a reservation we just walked in after checking there reviews online. We was greeted with a warm welcome. We was sat straight away and the menu was explained to us. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding for a busy night. The staff were great with my child and made her feel at home. The mocktails were something different compared to other places. The portion sizes were big for all of us and we even took leftover food home. The prices are pretty average compared to other restaurants near by. Will definitely recommend this place to others and this is one of our favourite Indian restaurants by far. We will definitely be back.

Mohammed Thousif Hussain Kader Hussain Delicious Experience at Salim Caterers – Ilford I recently had the pleasure of visiting Salim Caterers in Ilford, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience. Every dish had its own unique flavor and truly represented the essence of traditional Pakistani cuisine. Fish Pakora: Absolutely fantastic! The batter was light and crispy, and the fish inside was perfectly cooked. It had that fresh, mouthwatering flavor that instantly made it a favorite. Lamb Kebab: Nicely done – a bit on the spicier side, but still very flavorful. The spices were bold, adding a nice kick without overpowering the meat. Naan: Served hot, soft, and fluffy – just the way it should be. It paired beautifully with the curry dishes. Chicken Curry: A classic Pakistani homemade style dish. The chicken was tender, and the gravy had just the right consistency, especially when soaked up with rice. Veg and Chicken Cutlets: These were a standout! Perfectly made, crispy on the outside, and packed with spicy, flavorful fillings inside. A real treat! Overall, I loved the visit and thoroughly enjoyed every item. The food feels homely yet rich in authentic taste. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again – highly recommended for anyone craving traditional Pakistani flavors in Ilford!

MUARRIF Wonderful little cafe just opposite Seven Kings Station. Serves hot/cold drinks and cakes/pastries. Good ambience and seating. Very comfy and relaxing environment. Great for meeting up for quick cup of coffee and chat. Reasonable prices and the owner/staff very friendly and accommodating. This was the first visit by chance and very impressed with the service received.

Shuraim Came down to London for two days and ate here exclusively per a mates recommendation. Food was absolutely exceptional! Burgers, Wraps and loaded fries were of the highest quality. The brothers who were working there were very welcoming and soft-spoken. Cannot recommend this place enough and once I head back down to London Ill be sure to visit again :)

Mohammed sufian Rahaman MAM GRILL HUT - first time trying the new venue which was previously known as the grill hut. Since under new ownership, the eatery has had brand new interior which is vibrant and welcoming, far greater improvement. The tables were clean and plenty of seating was available. As a group of 8 we were attended to by the extremely friendly staff. Menu items are plentiful. We opted for the grill chicken platter with 4 lamb chops grilled chicken wings and 2 large sides. Food was prepared fresh and succulent. Flavour was spot on. The fried chicken was fresh and extremely tasty. Customer service was really good with all requests being catered to. On a separate occasion we ordered takeaway and the food was just as good! A great new addition to Goodmayes. Well worth a visit.

Alam Rahman Had high expectations going in, thinking it can’t live up to the original ones from decades ago but I’m glad to say it lived up to expectations! Got a double kebab roll and the taste was exactly the same from all those years ago. The naan was thick and soft, the kebab was fresh and the mint sauce was exactly as I remembered it! They currently seem to have a a limited menu and the food was made fresh on order. No microwave in sight. Although I did go at lunch time when it was quiet, maybe they prep different for evening rush.
