Pizza • Pasta • Steak • Italian


"Where do I start really?! Firstly, the guy who took me to my table, was extremely rude and aggressive. The who seemed to be the manager had no authorities whatsoever! With her permission, I sat on the next table that he has allocated to me with less cold air from AC, blowing to my head in such a cold night!, but when he came back and saw me, he started interrogating me so angrily in front of my friends, who just arrived and waiting to be sited. I could not even say hello to them and he made me extremely embarrassed Not for him to creat more scenes to avoid more scenes Deborah tables were exactly the same and could have easily been changed. But he would not have it!!!. The starters were half cold and was obvious they have been cooked before and warmed up in h microwave. the pizzas’s were horrible.our food we aware not served at the same time. they brought our drinks, only after we begged them 5 times to 5 different people! We had to bring our own plates and some cutleries etc from the close by drawers Has no Waitrose did, that ! The manager was a female who was rude with terrible attitude, no patience and aggressive too. She would banged the glasses on the table if you had asked for some and had no authorities either. When we asked to speak to the manager regarding all of the shortcomings, she didn’t even bother to come to our table. The staffs were awkward and quite inattentive. In such a small space, the horrible live extremely loud marching drum they played followed by extremely loud music when bring the cake for birthdays was the total torture and could damage your ear drums! They could see most people were so uncomfortable with this that happened at least 4 times last night but did not have any care for customers. I can’t believe they do this to their customers. it is a health hazard. If you have problem with your ears, do not go to this horrible restaurant."

The Second Wife

40 Upton Lane, Forest Gate, Newham, United Kingdom

Cafés • Pizza • Halal • Seafood


"The Second Wife had, in my view, cornered the 'big breakfast ' market in East London when I visited it last year and it is a crown which it still maintains in the halal food market which, let 's face it lacks in imagination in E7. 12 months on though and things have changed. The owner has installed a wood fired pizza oven and an array of toppings to satisfy the most challenging palate; and if you can 't find a pizza to your liking you can create your own toppings. I opted for the seafood pizza but there 's beef, chicken and even a breakfast pizza. Again another winner in the halal food market. And if you 're lucky you 'll even get service with a smile ... quite a change from the grumpy crew I met in 2014. I might not wait another year before returning to Upton Lane in the eternal E7 search for decent cuisine and cheery staff. There 's a charming courtyard at the rear if you fancy eating Al Fresco or if you want to spice things up there 's a Moroccan themed dining room downstairs. The prices are probably among the cheapest in London and so The Second Wife could be the place to go if you have a large family and fancy a treat. You don 't have to book at the moment as evenings are pretty quiet but once London 's best kept secret gets out be warned The Second Wife 's all day breakfast is a winner but the handmade, hand baked pizzas could corner the Italian market in the district. And smiling staff is an added bonus."
