The Bungalow Cafe of Wanstead - (Near , london)

Dan Szarmach Stopped in for lunch on Christmas Eve, great atmosphere and service, and amazing food. Greeted warmly by Lynn and Gareth, then helped out by Valentin and Stefan. Started with the fig Negroni, sweetbreads, scallops, the core fried chicken, and the venison salami. All were great. Then the fish and chips and toad in a hole, both were on another level. For dessert custard tart and soft serve, it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had and the honey in it delectable! A very memorable Christmas Eve, also got to meet Gary the head chef what a delight!

Maria Quintero What an amazing experience!!! I was recommended to try this place and I was doubtful to go, but it turned out to be one of the best food experience I have ever had. A real treat of food degustations with beautiful surroundings and perfect service. I wish my parents would still be here with us so I could have taken them to savour this Hearth food. Definitely will come again.

Beau Lyford In addition to the taster menu we tried in August, we then had our annual team event meal hosted here in September. There were 60 of us enjoying personalized cocktails and food. The venue put on a DJ and private area for us overlooking Tower Bridge at night which was brilliant. Highly recommend this place for its variety of South East Asian food and the staff were so accommodating.

Mario Raymond Best biriyani I’ve ever had. Perfect spice to it. I’m going g again today!!!!!

Quy Anderson This place is a gem. Cash only, but don’t let that put you off. There’s a couple of cash machines less than a minute away. Really lovely fish and chips. It’s so rare to find a chippy that understands how batter should be. Fish and chips were cooked to order. Batter, light and crispy as it should be. Fish was lovely and fresh. Chips. Love how chunky they were. You can tell how clean the oil was just from the colour of the chips. Really nice and crispy coating. Staff were friendly and lovely.

Tom I had dinner here with a colleague on a Monday night. It was relatively quiet but then the city always is on a Monday. The decor is very nice and there is lots of space so would be interesting to see the vibe of the place when it’s full. The small plates are essentially starters and we shared the pork bites and burnt ends between two and it was probably enough. The menu is interesting! For the mains my colleague had the ribeye and I had the fillet steak. We had a side of mash with gravy and also the loaded style chips. The steaks were delicious. Really tender and cooked to perfection. The meat was great. Really up there. Big shout out to the gravy mash combo too. That was immense. The service was efficient and felt a bit upsell a few times but again that’s the city for you. We stuck with what we wanted and it was seriously good. Would definitely go back. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it.
