"The Second Wife had, in my view, cornered the 'big breakfast ' market in East London when I visited it last year and it is a crown which it still maintains in the halal food market which, let 's face it lacks in imagination in E7. 12 months on though and things have changed. The owner has installed a wood fired pizza oven and an array of toppings to satisfy the most challenging palate; and if you can 't find a pizza to your liking you can create your own toppings. I opted for the seafood pizza but there 's beef, chicken and even a breakfast pizza. Again another winner in the halal food market. And if you 're lucky you 'll even get service with a smile ... quite a change from the grumpy crew I met in 2014. I might not wait another year before returning to Upton Lane in the eternal E7 search for decent cuisine and cheery staff. There 's a charming courtyard at the rear if you fancy eating Al Fresco or if you want to spice things up there 's a Moroccan themed dining room downstairs. The prices are probably among the cheapest in London and so The Second Wife could be the place to go if you have a large family and fancy a treat. You don 't have to book at the moment as evenings are pretty quiet but once London 's best kept secret gets out be warned The Second Wife 's all day breakfast is a winner but the handmade, hand baked pizzas could corner the Italian market in the district. And smiling staff is an added bonus."

Excellent food, freshly squeezed juices (Carrot, Apple and Ginger favorite) and best Full English Breakfast I've tasted so far. Service prompt, accommodating and very attentive.

Firstly the hospitality was fantastic here. Seating was cosy a bit cold however the staff tried there best to heat up the place. Food was good as well, just the cold room got everything cold quick. Prices were very good also.

Been a few times now, as location is convenient and I must admit the service has been acceptable when met with the possibly the owner. However, on a few occasions I have been served by the younger male member who has been rude several time, but the last time was the worse and I decided not to go back. By far the worst customer service experienced !!

Visited again this week and its lovely and delightful to be there can be a bit quite at times but food is always fresh. I stopped for a quick breakfast travveling through east london a lovely coffee with some french croissants and scrabbled egg on toast. It does a fulfilling halal english breakfast and lovely stone baked pizza. I didnt have a huge appetite so i left ot til next time. Lots of seating arrangements and parking can be found most times.

I frequent The Second Wife regularly, especially when I have guests to take out. The halal full english breakfast never disappoints! The quality of the sausages and beef bacon is far better than anything I 've had elsewhere and mushrooms are cooked to perfection (not soggy like other places). Overall, the food is excellent and the prices are fantastic value for money.I 've also had the stone-baked pizzas and they are also fantastic! Much better than anything else available locally. My faves are 'In the allotment ' and 'Smokehouse '. The only thing I would say that could be improved is the service. Especially when the place gets busy. Other than that I can 't fault the place.

My husband and I went for lunch to The Second Wife and since it was hot we went to sit in the garden area but still it was quite hot so we moved inside. Still it was quite warm so the hostess suggested we go down to the basement. That was like paradise. They had air conditioners on and the environment was very comfortable. In the garden area they had a large screen TV and no fans or other form of air conditioning and inside the only air coming in was from either of the two doors on either end of the restaurant. The basement was just perfect for a hot summer afternoon. We ordered Hummous and Falafel for our meal and I ordered a lemon mint drink (iced drink). The food was very high quality and...

"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."
