Himalaya Restaurant & Takeaway - (Near Greenwich, london)

Quofi Adjei I arrived 30 minutes before closing and I was unsure if I’d get any food. Both staff present were very warm and welcoming. I wanted waakye and it was available. Had a drink while waiting for my take away. Waiting time was very short. Overall a pleasant experience.

Heather We moved to Forest Gate about three months ago, and we’ve come here at every opportunity. Moving from Hackney we were spoilt for choice with natural wine bars but this place tops them all for atmosphere and choice! It’s a sun trap in good weather but I can see us coming for a cosy glass of wine in the winter. The pop up chef rotation means there’s always something new to try, but in between the Joyau team are cooking up delicious small plates (the cod’s roe is our favourite). We’ll be back time and time again!

Queen Ibhas My friends and I had our graduation party here in January and it was such a fantastic experience. We were the first ones in as soon as they opened, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company before it got busy. The atmosphere was perfect, and the place was beautifully decorated for us, which made the celebration feel extra special. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and everything flowed smoothly throughout the night. The setup, the service, and the overall vibe made it a memorable occasion. We had so much fun and couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate such an important milestone. Definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to host a party or special event, it’s worth it!

TasnimxEats haneed corner is a great spot serving a wide selection of somali food, using traditional recipes passed down through generations. the menu is full of hearty meals, aromatic spices and authentic flavours that really reflect somali home cooking. we started off with maraq, a traditional somali soup, which was light but full of flavour, so tangy, refreshing and slightly lemony with an aromatic broth. it had vegetables like potatoes, cabbage and carrots which made it feel really comforting. we tried platter 2 which came with slow cooked haneed, quarter chicken, rice and spaghetti, topped with beef suqar. the haneed was a slow cooked lamb shank marinated in their special sauce, extremely tender and literally falling off the bone, so so good. the chicken was really juicy too. the rice was light, fragrant and fluffy, topped with red peppers and raisins which added a sweetness i loved. the spaghetti was simple and fresh, served with suugo, a rich tomato based sauce with vegetables and potatoes. we also had basbaas which was spicy but went so well with everything, perfect for anyone who loves an extra kick of spice. overall i had such a good experience here, somali restaurants are so underrated! from the service to the food, everything was great.

Kelly Best Re visited this lovely restaurant for family birthday. With the atmosphere, decor and feel to the restaurant you could be anywhere in the world so is a great little find in Gillingham especially having lived in London my whole life and missing nice local restaurants especially family run. Service was great, nice pace and very attentive and friendly staff. We had too much food to post and no complaints at all, very tasty, big portions and great choices but the lasagne was delicious, cookie crumble sundae, the Greek wrap was also yummy and we had most starters also and no complaints at all. So tempted to try the famous dogs dinner next time but will have to not eat all day beforehand! Must recommend the selection of cocktails for sure! Thanks for making the birthday girl feel special also, was a lovely surprise at the end by the staff.

Irina Carabella Lovely hidden gem in Forest Gate! Delicious food, comfortable seating, friendly staff and chill atmosphere. I was looking for a quiet place to work on my laptop and have some lunch and this hit the spot! The front looks quite unassuming but they actually have more seating in the back! Their drinks and food are delicious and I’m looking forward to coming back a 3rd time to try their french toast. I recommend their Indian breakfast and spanish latte.
