Baraka Eatery in Tower Hamlets

l have tried the Vuna khichuri and Its not tasty at all. Very low in quality. No sign of authentic flavour. And burhani taste also below standard.

Attended for a function arranged at short notice. The space was for 100 people but felt cramped. Dated decor and the whole place needs to be revamped. Meat curry was the only passable food and gajar halwa was just a paste. Only venue available to hold a function at short notice for a reason. Also parking is a nightmare!

Food is nice, disappointed on lamb curry cause too much bones, dessert itself is not tasty, I only like the starter food.

Food was ok I asked 3 time for chilli sauce and still didn't get it But the tandoori grill and meat curry was amazing

The food was excellent..specially murg pilau,kala buna and grilled mixed platter. I love the environment and the service also very good..

The food not taste as before I think they changed their chef

I recently tried the Hyderabadi biryani and Hyderabadi gosh from your menu, and I have to say it didn’t live up to the name. The dish didn’t have the authentic taste or quality you’d expect from true Hyderabadi biryani. I’d recommend either improving the recipe to reflect the traditional flavors or removing the “Hyderabadi” label to avoid misleading customers. Authenticity matters!

Tasteless food, they invented their own biryani which I had never seen in my 60 years of life time, no proper chutney for samosas, I had prawn biryani which was horrible, microscopic few pieces of prawns, strange kind of low quality broken rice which in Asia are used in animal feed, don't waste your money

Nice place good food, Nikkah party going so staff a little inattentive but expected.

Absolutely disgraceful waiting time. This will be the last time I bring my family here

I don't know how this isn't a 5 star restaurant, its definitely worth 5 stars. the food is the absolute best and the staff are so generous and welcoming, especially taj

Food came cold. Asked for starter separately but came together. Had to get up and get water for my child. Waiter was nowhere to be seen. Wasted 60 pounds

I went there with my brother it was really worst food .everything was cold , rice curry and stuff was careless.system was really poor.i can suggest you everyone don’t go there for eat .

Very bad food, very bad service, manager extremely rude, took ages to get my order, serverd us wrong food. Not worth it price, money waste.

If you are Bangladeshi there are many good restaurants around you can go to them.

Best mezban here. Feels like home made food.

Good value, enjoyed the lamb chops!

I recently attended a dinner for over 30 people, organised by relatives at this restaurant, and was quite disappointed. The portion sizes were inadequate, with stingy servings of salad, rice, and curry. It was disheartening for the family who had spent a considerable amount on the meal. The floor manager was unhelpful, refusing to provide small plates or cutlery for an external cake and insisted on purchasing them from a nearby store. While the chicken and dhal curry were good, the lamb curry was just okay. The customer service and portion sizes were lacking for such a large booking. Despite the cost of living concerns, the pricing did not reflect the service provided. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for large events.

Went here on a lovely summer evening as walk-ins. The staff were very friendly, greeted us with a smile and sat us down. Once we'd ordered our food, the service was quick and we got everything within 10-15min. We ordered the chicken shawarma (9/10), mixed grill (8/10), hyderabadi biryani (7/10), mango milkshake (9/10). It was a good experience and the prices are very reasonable. Would deffo visit again.

This place has never failed me, I have been a regular for many years, chefs may change but quality remains. I always leave satisfied and ready to return weither it's uber eats or in person. Keep up the good work guys.

Great service, been going on over 7 years now. Amazing flavours the food is too good quality and freshness.

Ordered fish with rice, it was so delicious. We ordered grilled fish with rice and it was very delicious

The nihari and black bhuna was delicious. Wish the nihari portion was larger but amazing taste. I will be ordering again.

I went to have a dinner whit friends and I have I can easily say the food was spot on and the service 👌

Food is delicious, healthy and hygienic and recommended.

Just had the mejbani it was delicious felt like pure authentic taste from Chittagong. I recommend try at least once.

Great place and helpful staff. I recommend this place if you're looking to eat in Whitechapel. The fish was beautifully cooked. I loved it.

My butter chicken's flavor was really good, a tiny bit too oily, but apart from that, great taste.

Such a wonderful place to eat, the biryani is the best in London

Really a good place to eat and foods are very tasty..I love itt

I attended a wedding ceremony at Al Baraka and their staff were really nice. Food was also good Alhamdulillah. Only the hall was a bit small.

They sell coca cola .. never eating at there place ... coca cola is on ban list ...

Excellent service nice and spacious

Naans were great and the chickens were excellent

Really awful experience. Haleem was tasted and looked like thick Tarka Dall with 4 tiny pieces of meat. Most disgusting was Nihari, paid a lot for 3 of that and received land curry. It was late and had to treat guests otherwise would try to return them. Really shame for an order over £100.

Sadly unhygienic and poor customer service, rude unfriendly and horrible food . Had to walk out it was that bad 👎

I ordered noodles it was so oily couldn’t eat not only oily the oil they use it very old. It’s ok if doing Iftar party 🎈 separately I attended the Iftar gathering it was ok.

Has gone downhill to say the least staff are not trained properly at all. The food wait was quite long and when it did come it was mediocre to say the least. Staff was caught making WUDU IN THE FOOD SINK infront of customers whilst we were eating our food then scurried off to the bathroom once caught. They also bought a cake for a celebration with no announcement to the wrong person with the white box and wrapper on with no plate or knife! Not to mention an hour later I can still taste the foul taste of whatever that ketchup was on my mouth

Very good food, gigantic portions, cheese naan and delicious lassi. The staff takes great care. I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. I recommend

Good food, good service. I give it a 5 because it is exactly what it says it is, a decent South Asian halal food place. 👍🏽👊🏽 There was always someone nearby and the food did not take long at all

Do not he fooled by the fake reviews posted. Food is bland, cold, and did not look hygienic at all. Customer service is terrible. The manager and owners pride is beyond foolish. Rude, arrogant and disrespectful. Keeping this review simple and honest.

Worst staff members in entire whitechapel. These guys need to train their waiters properly or hire waiters with good manners. Total mannerless and lower class staffs. Food is okish but the atmosphere there is so bad. You wont believe how dirty this place is.

Disrespectful staff. Waiters need training on behaving with customers and also how to solve issues if raised instead of getting rude. May well be in better places if focus on developing skills.

Full of low skilled waiters. Rude, disrespectful, lack of training. When complained about food, someone stood up as a manager who doesnt seem to be qualified as a waiter, let alone a manager. Zero problem solving skill. He took my order and failed to deliver the item ordered exactly. When complained, he got offended and very rude towards us. Also they don’t take American Express. 19th century restaurant.

Although the food was decent. The customer service from the staff and the manager was atrocious. Extremely rude and unprofessional. We had a nikkah event and they were not nice to the guest when things were requested such as more plates and glasses. When asked for white clothes for the table to display the cake on top they provided with dirty ones and said there’s not no clean ones. Has such a bad experience. They did not make us feel comfortable.

Wir waren letztes Jahr schon dort, weil wir snacken wollten und es war einfach mehr als nur ein Snack. Die Leute sind total nett und das Essen wird schnell zubereitet. Das Essen wird brutzelnd und kochend serviert - einfach herrlich. Wir waren heute wieder dort, weil uns einfach diese warme und tolle Atmosphäre im Kopf noch hängengeblieben ist. Preise sind sehr niedrig für die fetten Portionen. Einfach herrlich. Wir werden immer wieder herkommen, wenn wir mal in London sind

Went there for the first time after seeing a window message for Chicken Kacchi biriyani for 7.95. They served me a kacchi that was nowhere cloce to any kacchi's I have had in Whitechapel befire. It was just a slightly flavoured rice with three big chunks of tasteless meat. The best surprise was when I went to pay, I was adked to pay £9.50 and not £7.95 as mentioned on the poster in the window. When I queried about the difference, I was told it's Friday, and Fridays are different. They dont know how to do a restaurant business. Never going back. There are quite a few more similar places I can try out in Whitechapel. Their chef should only try out the Kacchi served at Dhaka Biriyani and then he will know what Kacchi means.

جنب المسجد مطعم هندي ممتاز و اكلهم حلال جربت عندهم البرياني بالدجاج لذيذ صراحة وجيتهم وكان بالمطعم حفل زفاف ومحجوزة كل الطاولات فاخذت الطلب سفري

I had duck meat and chicken roast at Baraka Eatery London. The food taste is so delicious that it reminds you of your left behind home. Their service was so nice and the seating atmosphere was clean, quiet and cozy. Would love to visit them again.

Hyderabadi Biryani Takeaway - awful. This was inedible and offensive. It was in no way a true Biryani. Do better!

They did not have enough knife and forks half way through had one Creepy waiter ber starin at our table did not have enough waiting for this wedding . Only the coke and water was nice. Please do something about this waiter ber bookey 0/10 Creepy waiter -100/10

I attended as a photographer. It was marriage ceremony. The place is literally filled up with ugly table & chair. You cant event walk because of table and chair. They set their table literally on the place where stage started. Not a bit space to take photographs. On top stuff were very rude and kinda teased our female photographers. No sense of any education of them.Just Bunch of ill behaved stuffs. At the end of the party when they literally blaming us, because guest were not leaving while we were just doing our job. We dont recommend any big party there. We will suggest our customer accordingly.

Absolutely brilliant, spotlessly clean, service tip top. In the downstairs dinning area, there is a clear view into the kitchen, again spotlessly clean as were the kitchen staff. The price unbelievable, for 2 curries, popadoms, name bread and ice cream sweet £40.00, beat that.

Food tastes nice but I would say the portion sizes are a bit small for my liking. The waiter was a very kind gentleman so I gave an extra point for that. Compared to other South Asian restaurants in the area I would say this is one of the best. I do not recommend their mango lassi, for some reason it tasted very oily(?) so much better going for another drink.

My friend and I popped i for a coffee and drinks for kids, and some small snacks like somosas. They took 1 hour to get them to us! Unbelievable! Avoid!

Didn't really eat was there on a photoshoot good for small events for under 50ppl

I had Murog pulaw and Kacchi biriyani takeaway for dinner for my family. Something was smelling so bad (rotten meat). Kacchi was like uncooked lamb curry mixed with pilaw rice. Couldn’t eat anything because of the smell of rotten meat. We have lost interest in eating dinner tonight. Note: Couldn’t take any Photos. Strait threw everything.

A very nice HMC certified halal restaurant in the heart of Eastend. If you visit the East London Mosque then i can recommend you visiting this place for a good indian. Prices are very reasonable..

The restaurant was good , we had a buffet .the varieties were very less and you cannot refill your starters which was upsetting . They had cheesecake for dessert but it did not taste like one . Does not have many vegetarian options . It's not a place to go for vegetarians .

Absolutely awful. Highly recommended NOT to visit this restaurant. Kacchi biriani was awful, borhani tasted alien and kebabs were dry.

HMC halal restaurant with quality food at reasonable prices. Excellent customer service and looked after us. The mixed grill was to a high standard and would highly recommend.

Ordered lamb bhuna. On menu mentioned it's served with Rice and Dal and salad. However received only lamb buna and rice. No dal. No rice

I just let you know guyz I always order kanchipuram biriyani from baraqa even when I go there I eat this item.Normally every time it with egg and meat curry but today there I only found biriyani and tarka dal.Please next time make sure put the right item.Thanks.I eat the rice and meat without curry

All I’m going to say is I’ve not been in there since the manager is rude (presuming it was the manager), had no concept of good customer services, portion sizes too small.

Good eating place. I had lamb bhuna which was like home cooked. My family enjoyed their food. Definitely recommend.

It was OK. Went for a family function on second floor. I didn't enjoy the samosa but those around my table did. Sheek kebab and chicken tikka were OK. Salad, just packed with lettuce. Pilou rice could've been better and the curries (chicken, meat, dhaal) were ok. Saag aloo - was bland but others enjoyed it. Service was rushed and they did their best to cater for our needs. Decor/interior needs a change. I didn't feel like I was sitting on a clean booth and tables had that sticky feeling. All in all - as I said, it was OK. I'd have to go back and try something else to give it a full review based on its menu.

Slow service. Food wasnt that great and very small portion for the price. My friend kept on complaining and was already thinking of going somewhere else to eat as she was still hungry.

Very delicious and quality food and the place is also great and staffs are very friendly. I really love to go there

The food is good, the staff is really friendly and good prices. I recommend.

Avoid at all cost, place has gone downhill. Took my family here on Thursday and they couldn't provide a baby seat because they only have two in the restaurant. Don't know why a restaurant has only 2 baby seats. The waiter was rude and kept recommending what he would have and eat and completely ignored what we ordered. The food tasted old, I was later informed by the waiter the curry here is 2 to 3 days old. You only get fresh curry cooked on the day when there is am event otherwise its 2 to 3 days old. Which restaurant serves its customers 2 to 3 days old curry????? You should be serving fresh curry. Would never recommend to any family.

Attended a few functions at this restaurant and the food has always been excellent! Cannot fault any of the dishes and would recommend for small lowkey functions. Everyone went home very satisfied and raving about how good the food was. Service was good, interior bit dated and reasonably priced.

Very delicious and quantity food and the place is also great and staffs are very friendly. I really love to go there.

Good place for eat and also good people’s are there such as taj

Very sad coz placed the order at 10:47 and came and collected without tissue,spoons but had to request to get those no salad at all for 2 dishes I bought .people are still eating inside after 11:00 but I called and ask for salad that me and my friend struggling to eat the food without any salad it should come with each item separately as usual it does but the guy on cell said he will give more tissue next time ,really?????

Very good and delicious food, the quality is really great & awesome, also the service is well

Good food and excellent environment and .

Today we visited to baraka and we ate kachi biryani and kala bhuna ,also we taken starter Arayes, food was so testy and service was good,we will come back again.

I bought chowmein today, they charged £16 for a tiny portion, not even enough food to fill one person up. Tasted horrible and rubbery and flavourless.

It's worst experience I have ever experienced and no customer service is good and management and food quality and quantity is worst ever seen I don't recommend this restaurant.

Kacci Birani is tasteless , don’t even try it, rice cooked 10 days old, wasted money, rubbish

Mixed grill is very poor, partly burnt out. It tasted old. It was a piece of chicken, one chop, one kebab roll & a few smal pieces of tikka costing almost £15. Quality Murugh pilaw has become poor, it tasted old. The toilet was smelling of wee.

They have lot of items on there menus that is not available. There is a big difference on the online menu and Resturant menu itself. Haleem was just daal ( lentils with meat in not the correct colour or way it’s meant to be ) Kachi bryani is fake , we ordered haloumi which is meant to be served with bread They gave us humous with dried meant on top no bread One person serving every one in One floor

Ordered 2 popadoms only got 3 broken pieces that don’t even add to one poppadom looked refried and burned Chips looked old and were cold no mint sauce which usually comes free. Food did not look appealing as usual really disappointing.

Ramadan iftar service was brilliant. Smiling staff

This scum bag didn’t change the price of the mix grill £ 12.95on the menu even online or inside. But they are trying to charge £16.95. Bloody low life scum bag fraud at first change the menu then put the price up. Cam from lower class family background. Scumbag. All the money you will take it the grave. Also the manager were saying if want it or go somewhere. Bloody lower class came to UK and claim asylum to stay. Low life rats

I have been before but this time it was horrible didn't like it at all food was nice place needs a update

Four of us dined in, it was a set menu that charges 15 per person. Barakah tried charging for 7 people. The portions were very small. Disappointed experience, we will not go back.

The reason I can 1 star for service because they did not close the container lead properly. Therefore, all the curry source leaked to the bag. One container lead was open. I ordered boal fish but received different fish. Very disappointed.

Bad experience.they dnt care customer.

Food packaging was so bad as it out of its containers.

SO EXPENSIVE,DONT ORDER FROM HERE AS I PROMISE ITS JUST A BIG RIP OFF.

I had kacchi biryani yesterday and no flavour at all like before.its like rice & curry.might be they changed the chef

Dodgy food and dodgy people. They don't know what is Tehari, Biriyani or Murog Polau.. All they will do is pilau rice which was cooked long ago and some chewy meat. mix them together, heat them in Microwave and that's it. UTTERLY DISGUSTING. Still I am fuming, I paid £78 for this kind of rubbish the other day. I told the waiter about the food whether he had ever tried Tehari himself. He kept quiet.

Really tasty but it didn’t have all the sauces that it had last time. Last time time it had this red sauce not sure if it’s ketchup

I ordered a grilled platter and chicken tikka biryani. The food looked and tasted old, wasn’t fresh and was served on a chipped plate. The chicken tikka biryani was rubbery and the rice looked mushy and was greasy. This was the worst biryani I’ve had in east London. They didn’t have any option of drinks apart from coke and diet options all of which were at room temperature, there was no cold drink option. I’ve never been to a restaurant that hasn’t been able to serve cold drinks. I won’t eating from here again

Outstanding Restaurant, me and my friends really enjoyed dining here. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was outstanding. Definitely recommended this place.

We booked it one week before,even the day we informed them again but still more than an hour late to get our food!! Never come back again!! Worst and rude management!!

Got g checked by Jbizz and his lil bro when I walked in and the waiters just watched and laughed. Felt humiliated and immasculated. Never again

I didn't like the food, it was kind of tasteless.

Best restaurant in east London.
