Restaurants in Romford

Turtle Bay Romford

Great atmosphere and cool decor. Great selection of food and beverages and top value for money. Most importantly; Ornela, the wonderful young lady serving us, was very attentive and made my partner and me feel very welcome and special on an important occasion for us. Couldn't give enough platitudes to Turtle Bay in Romford. Highly recommended!

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

Gup Shup - Chit Chat Chai

**Review of Gup Shup Cafe**

I recently dined at Gup Shup Cafe and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their offerings. The chana halwa puri breakfast was exceptional—perfectly balanced in flavor and notably non-greasy, a rarity in many establishments.

As a resident of Bradford, where the culinary competition is robust, I can confidently say that Gup Shup Cafe ranks among the top contenders. My wife ordered the English breakfast, and it also exceeded our expectations in both taste and presentation.

Overall, Gup Shup Cafe delivers an outstanding dining experience, characterized by remarkable food and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking quality cuisine.

Shish LEGENDS Fusion Turkish Meze

We hosted a surprise 18th in the venues backroom, and it was very spacious and was able to fit up to 30 people. We were allowed to play our music loud and the food was amazing and more than enough for everybody. I would recommend it!

Thai & Pie

Ate here a couple days ago, service and food was lovely. We almost had a choking hazard and owner/manager was really helpful and attentive. Would definitely come again.

Cafe Bueno

Great food including a lovely sunday roast for a great price.
The music also made me feel like I was in a Mediterranean country, lovely ambiance with great service

Ped's Pizza

Have eaten in the restaurant multiple times and had takeaway. Every time the pizzas have been excellent with the service top notch as well.
We have tried making pizzas at home with little success so thought we would give Peds class a go to pick up some tips. We had a wonderful time with the owner who took the time to understand what we were looking for in the class and answer our numerous questions. Great value class as well as it came with two pizzas each and lots of drink refills. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks you Ped

Slug & Lettuce - Romford

Came in for a quick drink to finish off my birthday celebrations Harvey made us are cocktails and they were made to perfection, he was so sweet and attentive also advised we can get a free bottle of Prosecco, which we did and an enjoyed. Fabulous service from Harvey.

Wendy's

Absolutely exquisite, never been to anywhere like it before, by far best food I’ve ever had the pleasure to consume. Big up Alex give him a raise for being the best Wendy’s worker or any worker ever. Unbelievable vibes, unbelievable experience in general. Will be coming back whenever I go Romford. Insane. Ps. Love to frosty.

Pizza Express

My group of 20 and myself had an amazing time at Pizza Express. Starters were quick, and the drinks orders were adhered to with precision. Our waitress Chanel was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond. She even sorted the birthday cake and brought it out already lit at the appropriate time and led the happy birthday song. Well done, her and her team. I would definitely recommend this venue for your special days.

Braza Churrascaria Rodizio

Amazing food, amazing service, but there are deceptive practices when it comes to added charges, eg. a 10% fee if you don’t finish your plate which is not disclosed when entering, and you only find out about from a small out-of-the-way sign.

Overall great value for money, would recommend heavily.

GRILLER®

Today I visit this shop very first time and I bought a peri peri burger, whole chicken and 9 inch pizza. The quality of burger is very good and staff is working very good. I got my food on time. Next time I visit very soon especially for the burger.

Archers

Recently started coming to The Archers and have to say it is such a cosy, welcoming and friendly pub. All the bar staff are so lovely and attentive, especially Luke. Food is very tasty and there is a good range of drinks to choose from. Always enjoy my visits to The Archers, would highly recommend.

The Bull

Have been going to the Bull for many years but the current menu is definitely different to most pubs, the pizzas are great but the colcannon croquettes and Guinness dirty fries are incredible! Great service, really friendly staff and a lovely relaxing evening

Goose Romford

Spent a lovely afternoon at Goose last Thursday. I would definitely recommend come here for an even out or just a lunch. Staff is really nice and friendly. Will be coming back

The Mawney Arms

First time in about 4 years since I visited this pub, and it is still good. Selection of drinks was good, as were the bar staff. We didn't have any food so I can't give it a rating.

Neyzen Restaurant and Pods

Very good food and shisha. Man working at the shisha lounge was very good and nice. He had great customer service.

Atmosphere was very quiet and bland. Music was quite basic but really no vibe to it. Extreme lack of customers.

Parking: They have parking but extra parking around the place.

Greyhound Romford

We had an amazing experience! We can't say enough about how fantastic the customer service was here! Sophie B did made us feel so welcome and comfortable! She engaged in our conversations and it was a great time spent! Please make sure that she is recognised for an awesome evening! Even a pay rise because that customer service was something we have never experienced and it will be a lasting memory for us! We will definitely be going back again!

White Hart Fish Bar

First time trying the White Hart Fish Bar today after many recommendations. Staff were super friendly and our reasonably large order was all cooked fresh and to order. They even had rock which not many fish shops have nowadays in my recent experience. The food itself was amazing. Genuinely the nicest fish and chips I’ve had for ages. My family agreed too. This is now our go too chippy! 5 stars!

Frankie & Benny's

service was very good, was seated by a young lady very quickly the meal was lovely and just as i asked for polite and friendly staff- Aga was a delight throughout our trip here. Food is a great price for two people and portion sizes were good for meal and desert; would recommend.

Bekash Tandoori Restaurant & Take Away

My friend and I wanted to visit a nice indian restaurant for a meal and catch up. The reviews were positive. Booked a table. We were promptly seated upon arrival. Service was very good, atmosphere was nice. The selection available is great. I asked for naga hot as a personal preference and it was amazing. The food overall was tasty and as authentic as you can get in a restaurant. Portions are plentiful, service was impeccable, staff attentive. We did a takeout a week later and the food was excellent too. Highly highly recommend! Onsite free parking too!

Asia Spice

I went to this place for the first time and what an experience we had. The service was amazing and quick (we werent kept waiting for long). The food was delicious and if you like your dishes extra spicy then don't be afraid to ask! They really took care of me and my family when it came to making it extra spicy. Thank you to all the staff there. We will definitely be coming again soon!

Golden Lion

Really really friendly pub with an excellent Landlady and team!

If you’re looking for a relaxed pub, that runs quizzes, has live music, good prices, AND a nice outside area - this is your place.

5 stars from me!

Kid-friendliness: Up until a certain time!

Darjeeling Tandoori

Ordered a delivery and OMG the food was amazing it turned up on time the food was piping hot and delicious ? I even rang them up and told them how amazing the food was and compliments to the chef, definitely will tell all my friends about it? Highly recommend, A big Thank you ?

Top Oak Restaurant & Pub Essex Venue Hire Stapleford Abbotts

Nice atmosphere on a weekday. Bit of a wait for food but it was fine as we enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Frequented by friendly locals who like a bit of bant. Food was nice and portions generous.

Kervan Kitchen Gidea Park

I went with a friend at lunchtime, and they do a 2 course menu (starter and main). The food was delicious, and there was plenty of choice and generous portions. We, of course, added a dessert and a bottle of prosecco to complete the experience. Staff were lovely, and we weren't rushed. This was my first time visiting, but it won't be the last. Perfect experience

Sweets Town and Grill, Romford

It was really wonderful experience while having dessert we enjoyed a lot
And burgers were amazing!!!!!
Best place to visit for late night cravings.

Costa Coffee

Fantastic staff who are very friendly. The customer service is of the highest standard and the staff can't do enough for you. Their coffee making skills are also at these high standards

Shell

Giving credit where it’s due, normally wouldn’t leave a review for a Shell station, but the attendant was super friendly and patient with returning items through a service provided by a 3rd party vendor.

Shell

McDonald's

It’s okay if you go there in person but if ur ordering u can sometimes miss items like drinks or straws or like ketchup

Kid-friendliness: Happy meals

McDonald's Marks Gate

Mcdonalds...need I say more? When you see those golden arches in the distance as your driving home I know the first thought in my mind is "oh god please don't let the kids see it" and it's usually at that exact moment my eldest offspring takes on the vision of a Hawk, leans forward in his car seat and with rising excitement and delight he makes a noise which imitates feeding time in the seal enclosure. By this point I'm already making the turning signal and moving into the drive through lane to join the que of desperate parents who simply want a moments peace from there children. You approach the speaker which is often manned by a pre pubescent teenager who speaks in a way that imitates English but you still can't understand a word they are saying, the volume is either too low or too high and more often then not they will get your order correct. Once you make your way to the payment window you are greeted by McDonald's finest as you tap your card and smile with a simple nod. At this point the children are jumping around like caged tigers in the back seat ready to pounce on there happy meals. The next window is ofcourse where the food is delivered and the smell of fast food enters the car sending the children into a crazed feeding frenzy. As I pull away I then return to the road a more broken man both financially and emotionally than I was when I entered... 5 stars would order again.

McDonald's

The service is what made me give this score, staff brought food out to parking bay (ordered on the app) and forgot our drinks. Waited 20 minutes until I decided to go in and ask for the drinks. No one knew about the issue and after speaking to the Manager on shift still had to wait another 10 minutes to get the drinks. All the food was cold by this point.

Smokin' Griddle

Overall good joint. Burgers were good nothing amazing but still a solid burger. Chips are light, fluffy, crunchy and seasoned.

Usually get take out from them but decided to dine in today. Place is fairly small for has character.

Good reliable burger from here.

Shen Kebab

Went to have a meal with my family there was very helpful by a young gentlemen which carefully took down my order and was very keen to help. The food is amazinf definitely

Harvester Gidea Park Romford

On the 27th October i came in the evening. The meal was lovely and i was served by Hayley. Hayley was a great waiter, she provided an excellent and efficient service and was very kind. Hayley did her job well and checked up on us to make sure we was attended too.

Razza Gidea Park

5* food, service and cleanliness. Highly recommended Indian food in Romford. We had the paneer rogan Josh, chicken tikka main, garlic naan, peshwari naan, chicken chaat puri and popadoms. Great tasting food and the staff are friendly and professional. Well noted that they wear gloves when serving food. Hygiene standards at the highest

Aroma Indian Restaurant

Have used Aroma for over 30 years now for takeaway. Food is always good standard and usually arrives within 20 minutes.
They take Tastecard for eating in which can keep cost down.

Zaafran Indian Cuisine

Zaafran is a true culinary delight! The food is a perfect blend of authentic flavors and creative flair, with each dish cooked to perfection. We were especially impressed by the lamb rogan josh and garlic naan—absolutely mouthwatering! The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their friendly, attentive service. You can tell the team here takes great pride in everything they do, from the presentation to the quality of the ingredients. Zaafran is a must-visit for anyone who loves Indian cuisine. Five stars, easily!

The Chippy

Delicious chips. Quite expensive but it’s the only chippy in the area, so no competition in terms of pricing. No seating inside, this is purely a takeaway.

Vegetarian options: Chips

Parking: Street parking infront. It is free after 6:30pm (Monday - Saturday) and max 1 hour stay.

The Brothers Fish Bar

I really enjoy the customer service here. I appreciate the fact that I had the opportunity to buy a warm sausage roll here. The young lady who sometimes works here behind the counter is good looking and attractive. Keep up the good work.

Cloves Indian

Hands down the best Indian takeaway in Romford, and believe me I’ve tried them all.
I can’t congratulate the chef enough, this is the one best Indian food I’ve ever had; extraordinarily delicious!
“KORAI LAMB, LEMON RICE, CEYLON CHICKEN, BOMBAY ALOO, SAG PONIR, STUFFED NAN & ONION BHAKEE.

The Romford Dragon

The best Chinese in Romford. Or actually anywhere I’ve tried. Food is fresh and absolutely delicious. We are regular customers of Romford dragon and delivery is always quick and fast and food comes hot. Could not be happier really. Prices are fair. Always a monthly treat when we order from them. 10/10 will always recommend

Wong's Oriental Restaurant

We really love this place. It's too far for delivery, but we'll get a takeaway from time-to-time for a treat. The food is really tasty and not greasy like other places. The chicken balls are nothing like I've tasted elsewhere and the crispy beef, to die for. It's a bit pricier than my local takeaway, but I rate it.

Costa Coffee Gidea Park

Really helpful staff (man). There's a small step (2-3in) so my scooter couldn't access this store easily, I had to use walking stick support to enter but was given a lot of support by the man working there on 26/6/2024 at 11.40 am.
The only problem was some coffee floating in the drink & the App calls this store Scoffs but there's nothing to tell you it's ever been known as that, all it says on the frontage is costa?

Nando's Romford

Definitely recommend Romford nandos. Very easy to order food online and exceptionally quick service. Food tastes amazing as always. Special mention to the host Kasia, who is very bubbly and friendly and provides excellent customer service.

The Bamboo Garden

The menu is a culinary masterpiece, featuring a wide array of dishes inspired by traditional Asian cuisine with a modern twist. From delicate sushi rolls to aromatic stir-fries and flavorful curries, there's something to tantalize every palate.I had the pleasure of trying their signature dish, the Bamboo Garden Special Roll, and it exceeded all expectations. The combination of fresh seafood, creamy avocado, and tangy sauce was a burst of flavors and textures that left me craving more.

Raj of India Romford

The Raj is our go-to Indian. Special banqueting night menu is excellent value for money available Sunday to Thursday,and the food is great. Service is exceptional, the guys are always really friendly. Highly highly recommended.

Kervan Saray

The price, food, and service are good. Considering the price, the food is good. I had a platter. Usually Turkish platters have a mixed doner, this one didn't but they had Lamb Chops. Usually you get chops in the most expensive platters certainly not at this price range. You also do get different items in other places including different kebabs and hummus. They don't give you humus. Nowadays the price of everything rose. Considering the price, I would say the food was good and the portion was okay (could be better)

Man Bow House

We ordered dinner today & the Food was piping hot and well cooked.Was spicy & tasty(As we requested). Their spare-ribs are actual spare ribs(some chinese resturants spare ribs are NOT real spare ribs Meat!!).Customer service was great as well.All in all, I will recommend this Man bow House chinese restaurant.

North Street Cafe

While in england this cafe was great. Good coffee rolls other foods, English breakfast, and lunch.
Lovely staff. Romantic, I loved it. Restroom handicap accessible.

Parking: Not to great we walked.

Wheelchair accessibility: Good for seating.

Bar and Restaurant Besi

I have ordered once before and the food was fine.
However, 2nd order the rice was overcooked we just threw away as unedible.
I will reorder again as it may have just been a one-off. It was also a late order so the workers may have had a bit of pressure to ensure we got out order.
The rest of the food was fine, luckily we had packet rice so just warmed that up.

Simply Asia

Love the food here! The mushroom biryani is amazing!!! We've been eating here for years, and have always found the staff so friendly, accommodating and lovely.
Our 4 children love the Kormas and the Chicken Tikka, and i always get my vegtable biryani- its so tasty.
Can't praise it enough. it's a bit of a well kept secret eating spot for us locals- but now i feel you all need to know how nice the food is! - 10/10.

Lighthouse Fish & Chips

This place sells the best fish and chips in the area. If you're passing by pop in, you won't be disappointed. Friendly service, food served hot, fish batter is lovely and crispy. Price is roughly about average for fish and chips.

New Raj Bilash

The tandoori paneer is excellent so pleased to find tikka paneer jalfrezi on just eats dont know why it's not on the regular menu

The Fat Indian

After a seemingly poor delivery from Uber, I found the staff to be brilliant, the 1 missing food order was fast tracked to me and extra to apologise. The food was fantastic, really well cooked and flavoured. This will be my 'go to' curry takeaway from now on in the future. Thanks for going above and beyond, very rare these days.

Radhuni

I have been going to this restaurant for many years. The dishes are very tasty, and the attentive customer service adds to the experience. Highly recommend for a tasty meal.

Burger King

I dont usually write reviews but this time I had to make and exception. Because of a staff named Cemal he had a happy positive aurora.His smile and service will make your day 10 times better.His name Cemal.

McDonald's Romford Brewery

The big MAC ,what can I say,you can't beat a classic and boy did it taste goooooooood. Had the meal,served very quickly after placing my order and the restaurant was clean..Great location for dinning before going to the cinema..

KFC Romford - Colchester Road

The kiosk is the only way to order
I didn't like using the kiosk because it doesn't let me add on my student discount from the kiosk. Or from the app.

McDonald's

Nice location with parking spaces and orders drive in. Quick service friendly staff

Parking: Parking for 8-10 cars behind the McDonald's building.

KFC Collier Row - Collier Row Road

I love KFC but I’ve experienced some shocking service over the years. This branch however is AMAZING!! They always make fresh to order if you ask, it’s always well cooked and tonight when my Blue light wouldn’t work on the WiFi, Dylan in the collier row branch stepped in to sort the discount. Absolutely brilliant service and the food is excellent as usual. Great service Dylan! Thank you to you and the team tonight! ?

Bon Appetit

Great café, excellent service, and very friendly. Lovely food, coffee's and hot chocolate. Ideal for breakfast and lunch.

Kid-friendliness: Super friendly, very welcoming.

Cafe Fino

They serve fantastic mocha, tasty panini, and scrumptious egg dishes. It's a cozy spot for a relaxing brunch.

Vegetarian options: Mushroom and cheesy fries

Lara Grill

Tonight was around our 15th time visiting, but the first time in quite a few months. The meals are not as big as they used to be. The Sarma chicken beyti isn't as nicely presented as it was, and you get much less salad with the meals now, too. The dessert menu is now limited (no more tiramisu) and pretty expensive (some are as much as £11). It was a shame that they made no fuss for the birthday boy like you used to get, even though we put that it was his birthday on the booking. Service is still great, though.
In summary, if you've not been here before, you'll enjoy it, but if you've been going for years like we have, you might be a bit disappointed.

Tasty Chicken And Pizza

The food is so good. Freshly prepared and quick.
The service we received was great, friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again ?

Poppins Romford

I have been a regular customer of Poppins at Romford for many years. The service and food has always been excellent with very professional staff and manager. I would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled and wheelchair customers always welcome, assisted and helped where appropriate. Staff alway very caring.

The Tollgate

Very nice pub, it was lovely and clean with friendly staff. Food was very good value and well cooked/presented with quick service.

Kid-friendliness: Offers child meals

Cafe Royale

Always good food, service and welcoming. Extremely clean as well.

Parking: Very busy area close to Gallows Corner and close to junction of Upper Brentwood Road and Main Road. There a local streets to park in plus Gidea Park Sports Ground across Main Road.

Super Sushi

My favourite place to get Katsu. Honestly one of the only places I’ve had that does it right!! No silly side salad, the perfect sauce. Honestly just a katsu lovers heaven.Will forever be coming back so long as they are open.

Caspian Sea Fish Bar

Food was delicious, but more importantly the server in the shop was so lovely. There was an elderly lady in there who seemed to be quite vulnerable. He sat and chatted with her for at least 20 mins when I was in there. Gave her food/drinks, helped her open her ice lolly. Was so refreshing to see a young man being so kind to the elderly, I’m unsure of his name but he had a lot of tattoos and a bun!! If you see this your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!! :)

The Archer

Beautiful place, fantastic function room, great staff.
Never any problem,

Parking: Plenty of room for parking.
If full local streets are good

Knights Tandoori

I've eaten from most Indian take aways in my local area this one is the best! Delivery is always within 20-25 minutes even on the weekends. My go to curry is a Dansank and Tandori Knights is a 10/10. Food is always hot, portions are enough for me to take left overs to work for lunch the next day. Excellent value for money. Absolutely delicious ?
Can 100% recommend this take away ?

Gingham Kitchen

Lovely little cafe, which was quite empty when we arrived.
Felt rushed to finish by senior member of staff, when cafe became busy and people waiting for tables.

Colley Rowe Inn - JD Wetherspoon

I used to live round the corner from this pub about 44years ago sadly it was not here then but like all Wetherspons it is in a convient spot for public transport and parking.I met Tim Martin while working near to his first pub I could see he was in a successful business achievement like Sir Richard Branson with the late Howard Wrethan in my racing powerboat days.The pub was busy as usual on a Saturday afternoon staff attentive and on the ball!

Alan's Fish Bar

Great local fish & chip shop, offering a lot more choice inside, burgers, kebabs etc. I ordered Sausage in batter and chips, fresh, hot, and tasty served in a box.
Only take cash, no card payments taken
