Best Seasonal Restaurants in Ilford

We enjoyed a lovely lunch in pleasant surroundings with helpful and friendly staff.

Amazing views. The food was delicious, and the service was great. The cost, however, is overpriced. Expect to pay £6.50 for a bottle of water!

Our evening felt very special. Down to the relaxed atmosphere, incredibly kind service and can't state enough how amazed we were with each dish – so flavoursome! 100% recommend.

Had been intending to dine here for ages and planned in a visit to tie in with a trip to the ExCel centre. So many great dishes on the menu, it was difficult to choose just a few - but we selected the Chicken Cafreal Zambeziana (tender chicken with a piquant green sauce on delicous crushed potatoes), Lamb Samosas (very delicate, an elevated samosa experience), garlic naan bread, spiced fried paneer which was actually quite chilli-hot, and the Parsee Lamb Dhaansaak, one of their signature dishes, with tender lamb served in dhansak sauce with caramelised onion rice. We just had room after for dessert of nutmeg spiced creme caramel, and a scoop of Belgian dark chocolate ice cream. I'm still thinking about the garam masala spiced Old Fashioned I had to start, and we had a decent bottle of rose wine with the meal. The team were all very welcoming and friendly, and it was a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience. Looking forward to a return visit, hopefully during a lighter spring evening with views out over the docklands.

My favourite place in London right now. Everything about it is so lovely. The food is always incredible. These are very talented chefs. All of the staff are so welcoming and kind. I’ve been waiting for a place like this to come to Hackney Wick for years. The lovely friendly people there really do make it. Also the Guinness cake! It’s hard to save room for the cake because the food is so comforting and filling. We boxed it up to take home for later. It’s bloody wonderful!
