PHAT BITE Ilford - (Near Redbridge, london)

Zulfi Huss Had an amazing doner kebab, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. The meat was tender, the sauces were just right, and the fresh salad added a great crunch. Up there with some of the best kebab shops. They also sell buklava which I regret not trying.

Silvano Haven’t had a Nandos in quite a long while. I noticed the chicken was definitely smaller than I remember, lol. We had a whole chicken between 2 with 4 regular sides but left feeling like I could have eaten more. Our order didn’t take too long to come and the restaurant only had a few other tables in use. There was a new ketchup (at least I hadn’t seen it on my last visits) which was a hot flavour - a bit too much kick for me but would be great if you like hot spices. The tenderstem broccoli was also new to me and I loved this addition. My major complaint about this visit was that there was no soap to wash your hands in the female toilet. I spoke to a member of staff who said the dispenser was broken but I could wash my hands at the sink next to the plates and cutlery. I did, but hated the idea of people using the toilet and then washing there hands so close to the plates etc.

Imran Zm If you’re around Barking Riverside and spot the Good Meal Jamaican food cart, it’s definitely worth stopping by. Don’t let the simple setup fool you—this place delivers big, authentic Caribbean flavours. The jerk chicken is a standout, grilled to perfection with a smoky kick and just the right level of spice. The curry goat is rich, tender, and full of deep seasoning that tastes like it’s been slow-cooked with care. Served with rice and peas, plus sweet fried plantains, every meal feels hearty and satisfying. What really makes this food cart special is the freshness and speed. Everything is served hot, portions are generous, and the value for money is excellent. The service is friendly and down-to-earth, adding to the overall experience. For a quick, flavour-packed meal on the go, Good Meal’s food cart brings a proper taste of Jamaica right to the streets of Barking Riverside. Definitely one of those local gems you’ll keep coming back to.

Akhshaya Niranjan Al Qasr made our birthday party unforgettable. The venue was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, and the buffet food stayed warm all night. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help. Guests loved the atmosphere and raved about the food. The main hall fit our sixty-person party perfectly and looked stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration.

V A Highly recommend the smashed burgers there were juicy and delicious. The grilled wings were also decent, thought I the sauces taste ok. The staff a polite and the restaurant had a good vibe. Will definitely be back again.

Paul Amazing food great hospitality. Everything was top notch.
