Cafe Bar Palmeira in Waltham Forest

This restaurant doesn't exist anymore 😞

Visited this restaurant on Saturday with friends, it was a large group and from the moment we arrived the service was simply brilliant; tables where rearranged to accommodate us, The table service was frequent but not over bearing. No issues with the food from any of that party, some had lamb some had chicken some had fish everything was perfect can't fault it. I had the bait fish for a starter and it was absolutely gorgeous my partner had the calamari and that too was soft and beautiful. Then after dinner and moments to chill the real fun started they had an authentic belly dancer who was absolutely beautiful and she did some crazy dancing with a sword and it was just entertaining the whole place got excited and loved it.

Yesterday I popped in for lunch just after 12 noon. I was the first customer in there. I ordered the classic beef burger for £15 and cider The cheese was square and rubbery and when I cut the burger in half, I discovered that the patty was almost raw in the middle and cold. Sent it back. Got a refund. Bit disappointed as my order was the only one in the kitchen.

Cheap cuts of meat ! Staff not overly friendly and when it's busy you can see the pressure on the staff and they become not so friendly sadly !!
