Med's Cafe — Restaurant in London

AVOID AVOID AVOID

The food here is absolutely dismal! Wasted my money on microwaved baguettes and soggy chips, not to mention the other nonsense that was ordered which was lamb stir fry ( don't ask why on earth I ordered that)! I mean how hard can it be to make a sandwich and fry chips correctly! And to top it all off they don't even accept card! In this day and age these guys don't accept cards which is a disaster!

I would definitely not recommend anyone to waste there time or money in poorly run and overpriced run down cafe! The service is also on par with the food and price, the silly waitresses are very rude and extremely thick! They haven't got a clue about the menu and cannot explain anything apart from the price of items!

Seriously though if a cafe was to charge these extortionate rates, then the least they could do is get good quality products! The food was seriously a joke, Even the coffee was watered down somehow and tasted like warm milk going down your throat!

I wish I could rate this disgusting joint less then 1star as it doesn't even...

CASH ONLY AND BE PREPARED TO WAIT.

Food: Average quality- I found to be a bit too greasy. Mostly known for 'big breakfast' - a full English HALAL breakfast. Portion sizes are big. Serve chips with the breakfast which I found strange.

Location: Walking distance from Mile End tube station. Some parking on the main road but limited (It is London after all).

Service: Average (depends on how busy they get). There will be a wait for tables and food if it is busy (which is normal on the weekends).

Ambiance: Very crammed inside when full and particularly uncomfortable in the summer. You can sit outside but there are only 2 tables outside. Does get loud.

Price: Fair considering the portion sizes and that it is one of the only places to serve Halal breakfast in the area...

I’ve been coming to Meds since my university days, so it was nice to return after several years—my first visit since before COVID in 2019. There have been a few changes since then, likely due to rising costs. Previously, you could choose your bread, and tea or coffee was included with the meal, which no longer seems to be the case.

That said, the food was still enjoyable. The portion sizes were generous, the pricing was reasonable, and the fresh orange juice was a nice touch.

If I had one recommendation, it would be to improve the interior. The place feels a bit tired and could benefit from some investment in decor and overall cleanliness. It’s looking slightly outdated and worn.

Still, the nostalgia and quality of the food make it worth revisiting—and I...
