"Went to a nearby cafe in the centre for breakfast, but after sitting 10 mins and not approached by any staff I cut my losses and left. Thought I’d be on to a sure fire winner here as cafe was busy, and usually has been anytime I’ve past before, plus it does look clean and stylish. Approached for my order pretty much straight away, fancied a breakfast roll and a black tea, pretty straightforward you’d think. Out comes a milky tea which I just accepted even though I’m not keen on the taste. Was really hungry by now, but my roll was taking ages, then again most tables were taken so assumed kitchen was busy hence the delay so fair enough. I started to get a bit suspicious after about 25 minutes or so when I noticed food coming out to tables who ordered after me, but I didn’t have the time to reorder as I had a lot of errands to get done, so off I trotted hungrier and thirstier than ever as I couldn’t drink much of the tea. So unfortunately my experience was really poor, perhaps they struggled with my accent to end up with the situation. However, the place is busy and the plates of food that were coming out looked well cooked and were decent sized portions. The waitresses were pleasant enough, and one of them did realise there’d been an error when I went to pay as I was leaving and did offer to take my order. Overall I think I was just unlucky as it seems to be popular with the locals. Next time I’m in the area though will give it a miss and try somewhere else."

Called in for lunch with my friend again today. Tried the Chicken Burger, I’ve not had this before and I have to say it was really nice and hot. The waitresses are so nice in this cafe, always so friendly and very helpful View menu

Me and my friend always arrange to meet and choose here for lunch. This is a nice and very clean place to eat. The food is plentiful and always freshly cooked with a lovely fresh salad. The service is excellent and comes with nice friendly smiling faces.

This is the best restaurant I go to especially for breakfast. The staff are so friendly and the food is ALWAYS brilliant. The coffee is fantastic too. It is so popular that sometimes you have to queue outside to get a table. When we come shopping in Romford, we don't eat anywhere else. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional English dishes, such as steak and kidney pie, egg and chips, omelettes, sandwiches, and jacket potatoes. The service is quick, the food is freshly prepared in an open kitchen, and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is always busy and popular. The Spanish omelette was particularly tasty.

I visited this cafe with my family and had a terrible experience. The staff were extremely rude, our table was dirty, and they served people who arrived after us before attending to our table. They never came back to serve us, so I decided to leave. I have never encountered such poor service at a dining establishment before and will not be returning to this place.

Off to Romford for a shopping spree and we were too exhausted to go home and cook. Not eaten here for a while so decided we would eat in our favourite cafe. Chicken Escalope with egg, chips and salad. Have to say this is my most favourite dish here, delicious as usual. The waitresses are very nice here, hardworking and friendly. Would be nice to see a smile from behind the counter too!

"Very disappointed with food quality and service. We had booked a table for 13 people, 3 of which which were children. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely waitress who took us to our seats, but then proceeded to ask us to pass the plates and cutlery down the table to where the other guests were yet to arrive. So we set half of the tables, which is bizarre to ask a customer, but she was a lovely girl so it wasn 't a big deal at the time...until things went really downhill. We ordered 3 x £40 mixed grill platters which are meant to serve 3 4 people and asked for rice only, no bulgar. All 3 platters were brought with half rice and half bulgar; we asked the waitress to correct this, and she was apologetic and came back with a bowl of half rice and half bulgar again, we asked for rice on, so she went back and got a bowl of rice. Bearing in mind each platter is meant to serve 3 4 people, I struggled to serve the children an adequate portion they had 2 tablespoons of rice each; that 's how much rice was served with the large grill. My 10 year old niece then pulled out a long strand of hair from the kofteh she was about to eat; absolutely disgusting! Unsurprisingly, the cook wasn 't wearing a hair net, which I presume is standard?? I tried to be tactile and not draw too much attention to the situation to other eating customers, so quietly pulled the waitress aside and gave her the hair; she apologised and had another kofteh cooked (actually felt sorry for the girl, she looked mortified). The crunch came when we went to eat the chicken wings and baby chicken so many were raw pink and red raw meat! We told the waitress and she was insistent that it was cooked, but took it back believe me we have cooked chicken before and know what raw meat is. We were shocked when the same chicken was re cooked and then served back to us bear in mind, by this point the chicken had already cooled down from the first time it was cooked, centre was raw, and then re cooked and served again! There was no way we would 've touched it; also keep in mind that some of the chicken had come off different guests ' plates and were bitten into how were we supposed to know which piece was who 's?? So bizarre, I 've never had this happen, even in the cheapest small café. By this time to be honest we were off our food. The meat wasn 't great really; some was ok; the chicken shish was ok, the lamb chops were also ok; the chicken kofteh had no flavour; the kofteh was very greasy; the rice was wet. On a high note, the lahumajun was lovely and so were the dips and bread. When it came to the bill, we made it clear the chicken should be taken off, as none was eaten by anyone. When the waitress came and handed the bill over and was asked if the chicken was removed from the bill, her response was I 'm just a worker who else are we supposed to ask then? Why the attitude?! We had the right to complain after being served raw meat! The cook/owner then came over, leaned over me, with a plate of chicken hovering above my head and my face in his armpit, and started to argue with another guest that we didn 't ask for the chicken to be well done; no spacial awareness or respect for one 's space whatsoever. I didn 't realise we had to request for our chicken not to be raw; absolutely ridiculous. He knocked off £15 and for a £170 bill and the awful experience, I think that was insulting. He then knocked off a bit more, and we just accepted as wanted to get out of there. The same waitress came back and cleared the table, slamming the plates onto the trays no manners whatsoever and clearly showing she 's pissed off. Such a shame; all other guests witnessed this while they were trying to eat; could 've been totally avoidable. Why risk your reputation? I 've never had to ever make a complaint like this before, let alone write such a review. If you choose to eat here, check your meat is thoroughly cooked, or you 'll be poisoned!"
