"I have gone all over London from the cheapest places to the very top of fine dining and culinary experiences but nothing, I repeat, nothing can beat Alfies! One of the first halal kebab houses in London being open from the 1980s and till today dishing out the best kebabs, donners and cheese burgers in London! The brothers that run this place are second to none knowing every customer by their names and their families (as they have been about for so long). Always dishing out free items to people from a small gesture like a can of coke for a kid to sometimes giving whole meals free to regulars. This guys have actually understood how to run a succesful business. The queues here do not end till late night (1am-ish). I have yet to find a place that even comes close to their fried lamb donner in a pitta. The donner is juicy beyond imagination and is then fried on a grill with onions, peppers, chillis and their legendary chilli sauce. It is then put into a grilled pitta with whatever salad of your liking (salads include the whole bunch: cucumber, lettuce, carrot, gherkins, jalapenos, green chillis, mixed peppers, spanish onions, tomatos and so much more). All that for less than a fiver. You can eat alfies day in day out and not get sick of it as my family and pretty much all of Forest Gate has not since the last 30 years or so. Their tak-a-tak is an amazing creation. Chicken tikka on skewers first grilled on their barbecue style grill then put on their main grill which is then cut into small pieces and cooked with onions, chilli sauce, peppers, chillis and drizzled with lemon. This amazing dish is one of their most expensive item but is still a bargain for the taste and sheer joy it brings. You can eat it in a pitta or in a bun or in a naan (from their sister restaurant abu bakars across the road) or just plain with a fork! Their special cheeseburger is the bomb whilst their original fried chicken burger is enough to make me want to come everyday. I could literally go on all day about alfies and their qualities. A must try for all those wanting to try ultimate London street food."

I had gone to have a small meal prior to an evening out. I wasn't wings and chips however the wings was very oily and I was unable to eat it.

I visit Al Farooq every six months for quick, emergency fast food when I don't feel like searching for a nicer meal. The prices are average, ranging from £3 to £4.50 per meal, including a drink. The restaurant could be cleaner, but it seems to be a common issue in most Asian establishments.

You knew what to expect from Al Farooqs and the always delivered but recently something has changed. After the refurbs the Chicken burgers has reduced in size, the taste not the same and the chips are no longer on point as they once were. Please go back to the old days. I'd rather pay a little more to fund the refurb!.

I have only ordered takeout from this restaurant, and my husband is the one who usually picks up our regular order - a 1/4lb meal. I am puzzled by the two previous reviews. The chips here are some of the best I have ever had, and I have had many. Sometimes I just order the chips on their own because they are that good. The burger is delicious with stewed onions, the meat itself is flavorful and cooked perfectly with a nice chargrilled flavor. I cannot speak to anything else on the menu.

This place has great food but the doner gave me and my family diarrhoea, as well as a few other people who ordered the doner from here, I'm guessing this is because of the spices they put into the doner, so I complained and asked for them to make a better doner, but they ended up giving me the same thing, just without the chilli sauce..and I still had diarrhoea but a little less, I can tell the meat is cheap, probably that's why most people from there are getting diarrhoea. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING DONER FROM HERE

AL-FAROOQS, Friendly Comfortable atmosphere in this busy fast-food kebab shop, The consistency of customers walking in out of this Place is my 1st sign to fresh food and salad and rotating and selling, which is a plus point for me, a food place like AlFarooqs which is busy, maintains a consistency in serving fresh and quality food rotating all the time. The prices are very reasonable, and the staff/team are very customer friendly.. We will driver miles for good food, We try all these new flashy posh 'looking ' restaurants and food outlets and we still end up back in ALFAROOQS. x

We used to live across the street from Al Farooq on Leabridge Road many years ago, and it was our go-to restaurant. I was delighted to see that it was still thriving when we visited in December. The food was just as delicious as I remembered, and the portions were very generous. The staff were accommodating and willingly made changes to our kebab order for our picky kids. It was Christmas Day, and they were one of the few places open, yet they were still busy. Our order arrived quickly, and we took it back to enjoy for Christmas lunch. It was absolutely delicious! We will definitely return next time we are in London.

"There could not have been a much better way to get my 2022 Michelin Star year up and running than with an absolutely fabulous lunch at Da Terra. The food with some new dishes and redesigned old ones was amazing , the wine pairings from sommelier Maria were perfect and the service was impeccable as always. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant from the beginning three years ago through to the two michelin stars they have now but I would have to say that this visit just about tops them all. On saturday we arrived at Bethnal Green station and took the short walk to the town hall where you will find Da Terra. A warm welcome awaited from Jasmin before she escorted us to our now customary Table 10. Once seated over came manager Charlie for a nice chat and to offer us a complimentary glass of bubbles to welcome us back. Now to the menu where there is a choice of three tasting menu’s to which we opted for the long ten course. We started things of with the fabulous and refreshing amuse bouche called the Caipirinha based on the brazilian cocktail. This led us to a selection of snacks that were simply delicious. A Cod Croquette , Beef Tacos , Taleggio Doughnut and a fabulous New Scallop Cup. Before we moved onto our first course it was time to select some wine to pair with the menu and I have to say that sommelier Maria came up with an absolute beauty. The Robert Sinskey 2016 Pinot Noir from the Napa Valley in California was light and fruity and just a sublime pairing. So now to start the menu of we enjoyed a stunning Arctic Char with houghton springs , courgette tucupi. This was followed by the Custard with mussel , sake kasu , trout roe , seaweed and accompanied with sea lettuce crackers that was easily one of the best dishes I’ve eaten at Da Terra. Next to arrive was the famous Chicken which had been revamped and personally I thought it was the best version to date. It came with wings , liver , feet , egg yolk onion. Now it was time for the Bread course featuring sourdough along with bone marrow and three types of butter. This led us to the Moqueca a fantastic brazilian fish stew with wild turbot , palm heart farofa and accompanied with chillies to just add a little heat to the dish. We now moved to the meat dishes which started with the fabulous Raviolo of duck , whey , watercress and smoked duck charcuterie. Then it was time for the Hereford Short Rib with crosnes , cassava , chimichurri and heavenly veal sweetbread salad. These were just another two superlative dishes to add to what we’d enjoyed throughout our lunch. Next to arrive was the cheese course called Romeo and Juliette with a goat’s cheese topped with a guava gel and a fennel cracker. This led us to the Baba with cahaca , pistachio and kaluga before finishing with the dessert of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb with coconut and twenty five year old balsamic. I have to say the addition of coconut really enhanced this dessert to the next level. We finished with coffee , petit fours and a digestive from their drinks trolley to bring to end another outstanding visit to Da Terra. The food under the inspiration of Rafael , Mark and all the team with the combination of new and revamped dishes was simply stunning. The wine pairings from sommelier Maria were a absolute delight and the service led by manager Charlie was first class. A visit to this restaurant really is a must especially with it’s brazilian influence that your unlikely to experience anywhere else. I really can’t wait to plan my next visit. Thank You Rafael , Charlie , Mark , Maria and all the team for a truly fabulous dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon."
