La Mama Acasa - (Near Redbridge, london)

Anu Sho The best Indian food I’ve ever had, absolutely divine. the staff was polite and accommodating, even giving the little ones Mango Lassi’s on the house, which they both thoroughly enjoyed. The Tandoori Chicken was steaming hot when it came out of the kitchen and tasted better than it looked, which was heavenly by the way. After being wowed by the Chicken we were then amazed by the Veggie Noodles, which were better than I thought was possible. Overall, 100/10, I will definitely be back again!

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!!

KT I love Oko Lounge — it’s honestly the best shisha place in London. Mo, Suli, and the entire staff are fantastic: warm, respectful, and always welcoming. The crowd is very decent, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. I go there almost every day and genuinely enjoy spending time there. The music is great, watching sports there is another level of fun, and the shisha is top quality — consistently excellent. One unique thing I really appreciate is that you’re allowed to bring food from outside, which makes the whole experience even better. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone. Once you visit, you’ll immediately notice the huge difference between this lounge and others in East London. Wishing the team continued success — well deserved. Tabassum

Sophia Ali Amazing service and great tasting food. Such a huge variety of meals to choose from too. I chose the Halal options, the owner confirmed that there is no cross contamination as everything is cooked completely separately from the few non halal products they serve. Free parking on nearby streets for the first hour too.

Besim Cenalia A bountiful place. Very very tasty food. A amazing service.

Muhammad Riaz Ali Very nice massive platter with reasonable price. Food taste was at high level. Very hygienically served. Miss Kiran gave us very good service and gave us offer to save our money.. All meat were well cooked. Recommendations: haleem and 66 chicken 65 as well.
