Band of Burgers in Waltham Forest

Claims the post code was wrong even thought it was it was correct. Didn’t receive any food

Gourmet Republik has only been open a few months; yet, during that time, they've built up a following that compelled us to give them a visit. The place itself is aesthetically pleasing with impressive decor that includes a uniquely quirky lavatory. The restaurant shows great promise, having certainly nailed the poultry side of things, with superb chicken wings and a deliciously marinated grilled chicken, and some tremendous lamb chops. However, and in our considered opinion, while the burgers were decent, they need some refinement if Gourmet Republik is to seriously challenge the best gourmet Halal burgers currently out there.

My daughter has just moved to Walthamstow so we were looking for nice restaurants in the area. We were the only customers in here I think the decor was beautiful and all looked very clean but sadly the waiter was very unaccommodating. We ordered chicken Shish which came with rice and salad , I asked if I could just change the rice for fries as I’m not keen on rice and it was a straight forward no I asked why but he just said no your not allowed. When the meal arrived my salad was brown where it was old or out of date I couldn’t be bothered to complain because I knew I wouldn’t get any joy anyway as they were just most unhelpful and was not prepared to give the customer what they required. I have never been to a restaurant before when I’ve not been able to swaps or take something out even if I had to pay extra I wouldn’t of minded that . I also asked for a lemonade but said I could only have it in a mock tail . It was all very bizarre but at least it’s one she can cross off her list and not recommend to anyone else. Come on it’s a restaurant be more accommodating to the customer.

The staff was Polite and helpful The staff was really kind and showed me and my friends a really nice time even though there is certain rules staff was aware of COVID 19 rules and was really safe and followed the guidelines really well. The food was really nice and tasty and we will be visiting again for sure.

We were walking back to Wanstead from Stratford and never having visited, thought we would drop in for a drink and maybe a bite to eat. Unfortunately, the two staff members were engrossed in conversation and despite eventually attracting their attention, we were completely ignored. After a good 10 minutes, we just left. Its a shame, because it looked very nice inside maybe we were just unlucky.
