My recent visit to Panjab street food was very disappointing. We waited for more than 45minutes for “street” food, which is a significant delay, especially considering the time when it wasn’t busy and the person taking our order said 10min maximum for food to be delivered .However after a good 15min wait we were informed that they didn’t have the food which we had ordered and were given choice at what’s available,to pick. So after 45min the food was finally delivered and I must say the quality was even below average. The Manchurian was just packed without frying and we could feel the ice of uncooked frozen Manchurian not fried properly.The “much recommended” dishes ,the momos and their famous “chaap” by the manager at the till ,were just unpalatable.What’s more concerning is the health risks with uncooked food served so confidently by this restaurant. The restaurant was not even apologetic for the wait time and with the appalling quality and service of food this restaurant is a no go recommendation for others. One star as I had to write the review,otherwise doesn’t deserve...
Read moreI had an amazing visit to Panjab street food ilford today. I ordered Gol Gappe, Tikki Chat, veg Afgani chaap, Veg noodles and Indian Chai. The food was very yummy and delicious.
The Gol Gappe were crispy and filled with tangy water and chutneys. The Tikki Chat was sweet, spicy and flavourful, with potatoes, and sev.
The veg Afgani chaap was tender and succulent, marinated in a creamy sauce and grilled to perfection.
The Veg noodles were hot and tasty, with vegetables and soy sauce.
The Indian Chai was refreshing and aromatic, with milk, sugar and spices.
The only thing that I would suggest is to have more spicy water for the Gol Gappe, as I like them to be more fiery. But other than that, everything was perfect.
The service was friendly and fast, the ambience was cosy and colourful, and the prices were reasonable.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Indian street food. It was a great experience and I can't...
Read moreLooking at menu, thought of trying this restraurent on whim and glad that I did.
Since I was trying, I got one each of few items. Now I am totally cofused, which item to recommend more.
Their Chaaps are the best, both Malai and Afghan version, depending on your taste, but to me both were excellent.
Their take on Kulcha-chole (along with Paneer version) is excellent too, and they probably didnt get first mention as I tried the Chaaps first.
I also tried Fried Momos and they were Good, and so was their tikki burger, reminded me the taste of Delhi after long time.
And not to mention the quantity of each item. I hope they keep up with the same quality/quantity after getting more famous.
Staff was very nice, but currently only 2 people were there and they prepared the items fresh (which is good thing), it takes some time if you order lots of different...
