Chef Asia in Havering

I went in to eat and he told me that he doesn't serve me unless I want takeout. and they had tables outside and inside. the idea is that they didn't want to let me eat there. as if my money wasn't good

Worst food, Unhygienic place to go I got sick next day

Best Aloo paratha in town. Nice and crispy with lots of flavour

Very nice 👍 yammy and tasty 😋😋 very nice 👍👍

I had my lunch there for the first time. I can't forget the smile and the welcoming face of the staff the chef and everyone . The food was unbelievable. We were served as no one expects. lovely and welcoming. delicious food I swear. I recommend everyone try experience this place.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is absolutely great and elegant decor make the ideal setting so special👌. The food was tasty and flavorful Im in love with it🔥

Everything was incredible, we come from another city for the taste and have almost become regular customers.

10/10 highly recommend. Best food in Romford

Excellent piping hot Punjabi food at its rustic best. I had steaming saag paneer that had a fantastic deep flavour along with a tandoori roti and melted butter. It was hot and delicious. I finished off with gulab jamun and piping hot sweet masala chai. Everything was fab. Thanks ladies 🙏🏼

1/4 BOX SOLD AS FULL CHOWMEIN. We should have known when we entered and another lady was complaining about her takeaway smelling funny and being terrible. We still ordered 2 chow mein for £7.99 each and we got home to find these TINY portions. We called the shop to complain about the portion size and then were told ‘well that is why we gave you a discount’.. so the lady knew that portion size will be small so she gave us a discount without telling us that the portion will be small. we did not ask for a discount, it was offered, we assumed we are still getting full size of what we ordered. We were more than happy to pay full price. We explained if she had told us we would have just ordered more or different food. She then changed it to well that is our portion size. Then again went back to well it’s small that’s why we gave discount. So which one was it? She did not apologise once. Ridiculous customer service. Not to mention the chow mein is dry and has no taste.

The service was very poor. The food took around 20 - 25 mints . Staffs were very unprofessional.

I at lamb shinwari and its had a very awesome taste. Will recommend everyone to eat.

I came here after a recommendation by my colleague, who left a positive post. These people are the rudest, most condescending ever. Someone was staring from another table ominously! We found out it was the owner. Take your chance with Iford Lane with more choice and politeness. I'm shocked, considering what my colleague said; he is usually right!

Went to restaurant were offered menue. When ordered was placed, owner came up and said he has run out of food. Very disappointing, never again 😞

A fantastic place in Romford area.very good food and affordable.

I ordered lamb kebab roll & chicken biryani & samosas but the meat is not cooked properly in lamb kebab & chicken in the biryani is full of smell

The service here is amazing the food comes at a fast pace and the quality is excellent . The staff are so welcoming and kind by continuously checking up on us throughout our visit and they genuinely take pride in what they do. The biryani succeeds expectations and is good for price. Will definitely visits again.

Very good place, recommend. I always order the chicken biryani, good value for money. Staff always nice and welcoming.

Lovely food and very lovely people. I highly recommend you to try their: - Lamb Chops - 1/2 Chicken and pulaow rice - Lam keema with pulaow rice - Chicken curry is also good 👍🏽

I recently dined at chef , and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection, staff was very polite. There customer service is top notch. From the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, each bite was a delightful experience for the taste buds. The combination of great food and good prices makes chef Asia a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

We had the breakfast there. I was very nice nice we loved the lahori channa and naan the service was great as well. Will surely recommend

One of the best Chicken Kebabs I had, loved every single bite of it..🥰

Food is so delicious and the owner a lady and she’s so frendly. She treats everyone so kindly. Perfect place for your family and friends

Ohhh Too tasty Asian food... one the best London Resturants... everybody must come and enjoy the taste of its Pure Desi asian food

Best asian Food for in Ramford. LIKE home away home.. Highly recommended 10/10

Highly recommended asian food place in romford england. 10/10. Feel like home!

I really like the taste of biryani and chicken curry with naan. The service was awesome.

I have been going to this particular restraunt for the past one year . The food is always wonderful and i do take my friends over to try new dishes . This time we tried chicken shish ,chicken biryani , desi chai . Also had halwa and kheer . It is the best in romford . Would recommend people going here... Always a wonderful experience . Thanku to everyone working there .🩷

Had whole grilled chicken. Hand down the best in town.Must try..❤️

We had breakfast here today, 5th July 2024. The restaurant was just opening but the Cheff was too kind that she allowed us sit in the cafe. We ordered Paratha anda chaye, puri halwa, nihari on her recommendation. Whattay beautiful food it was. Good time in London while eating is cafe asia. 10/10

This is undoubtedly one of London's best and most understated authentic Pakistani restaurants. I sometimes travel from Maida Vale to eat here, where the food quality is second to none; the prices and staff are also very charming. Large tables outside allow us to eat, smoke, and watch the day pass. It’s a simple pleasure packed with quality and affordability. Don’t believe me; try it just once. My Indian colleagues from Southall drive to Romford to eat here despite the copious restaurants on their doorstep.

Highly recommended zera chiken karahi and kulcha .. amazing staff and food .. 10/10

Chicken grilled was really amazing

Lovely little family-run restaurant. Very friendly. The service was great. The food was delicious, they were even kind enough to let us try their rice pudding on the house. Big portions and reasonable prices. Would love to come back if we’re in the area again

Really liked their golgappa’s filling and water, so yum. But their haleem was okay-ish.

Amazing tast but needed to wait 15 mints

Nobody should go to Safe Asia restaurant. It serves stale biryani and put 3 pounds of biryani on the board and when you eat it, it costs 7 pounds.

Staff is noted for exceptional service, being quick and friendly, which enhances the dining experience. The owner, also contributes to the welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant serves a variety of Pakistani dishes, including breakfast items like halwa puri and tea, which you particularly enjoyed. The restaurant offers good value for money, making it a great choice for delicious Pakistani food at reasonable prices.You regard Chef Asia as the number one restaurant in Romford, which speaks volumes about your positive experiences there.

It sounds like I had an excellent dining experience at Chef Asia! Enjoying a combination of biryani, chicken shinwari, Pakistani cuisine, tea, and lamb chops, and finding them to be delicious, suggests that the restaurant offers high-quality, flavorful dishes. It's always great to hear about positive reviews for places that serve authentic and tasty food. It is cheap in prices. 🎉😳.

I ordered halwa puri and lahori chana it was simply amazing and tasty 👌🏻

We had Sunday lunch at Chef Asia and were delighted with their cuisine. This restaurant boasts unique flavours and aromas, with quality ingredients and friendly, helpful staff. The dishes we ordered were varied and balanced, leaving our palates satisfied.

The food was really delicious highly recommended.

One of the best Desi restaurant in the UK

Quality and standard 5/5 Nice and tasty food... Must visit

Best ever halal restaurant in Romford . Every dish is delicious. But api rashida’s parathas taste like a mum’s hands

Bit slow delivery but nice food

very poor service. They taking price higher than manu price . Food was not good chips was not full cooked.

Ordered 20 naan/roti which took 1hr. Also not packaged well/poorly bagged in one single thin bag, mostly cold when got home. Use foil to wrap doesnt cost too much!

Being an asian myself, know asian food is oily, , but got 2 boxes of oil and meat slime after paying 30 pounds, this place is an embarrassment to asian food. Absolute garbage food, id say sack the chef , but im sure there isnt one to begin with. Stay away

They have very delicious food 😋

Tasty food with cheap price and good service

Very Rude response from owner of the business on call when I call them to inform about the quality of the food. He was denying and said "I don't believe you." Avoid this restaurant at any cost especially in case of emergency, you can cook home better then them than ordering from here. Not fresh cooked 🤢 Too much too much OIL Unhealthy 😪 Gravy was awful 🤮 Tasteless food Too much fatty meat 🍖 Waste of money waste of time. I came in and ordered lamb karahi to take away. When I asked them how long will it take to get ready, they said It'll not take long which means (They just warmed it in microwave and gave it to me) I'm uploading the video and screenshot of others reviews to support my feedback because they are denying on their previous reviews and he denied on the call as well. He labeled me liar. As I paid him to label me a liar not for the food. Not recommended.

Amazing katsu I shall buy again

Perfect restaurant ever seen in romford area , the excellent aroma of dishes urge me to go their daily . Great taste . All in all the staff is very polite.

Placed order over the phone. Came to shop and they said we will make it ready now. I left. Food looked rubbish anyway.

Today ,vegetarian burgers have been ordered by me and husband ,and the taste was wonderful. Also, I'll recommend naan which is amazing. Keep growing Chef Asia and team.🌟

Ridiculously overpriced for even small portion of food. The food was not freshly cooked. So not recommended at all don’t waste your money on this place.

Food was very good and tasty everyone should must come price was so reasonable on the sight of staff laiba was very enthusiastic ❤️

Extremely poor service take too long and also high prices and small portions

I have been there multiple times with my family. When they opened, the food was amazing and pruces were good. But later food became bad and prices increased. I stopped going there until recently when i saw and ad for 2 for £1 naan. They have new menu, new prices. I tried different things. All was good. Their aalo paratha reminded me of home and chai was amazing. We liked it so much that when we were leaving UK, on the last day our last meal was their aalo paratha and chai. The lady was kind enough to give free kheer as a farewell gift. Overall amazing experience. I highly recommend this place if you want something desi under budget. Value for money

Bad food, bad service and rude staff. This place does not deserve your money.

I have the worst experience It doesn’t meet my expectations. If you don’t know how to make please don’t sell. 🙏

Never turned up, called the place and they said the driver was on its way, is already 23:05 and I ordered at 21:35.

Can’t understand how someone can feed such low quality food after charging the money. Portions were generous. However biryani didn’t had anything else other than two tiny pieces of chicken/lamb and too much oil.

It is a local restaurant in the area. They always have freshly made food and warm Naans and prathas available. They have variety of delicious deserts available. Samosa are delicious too. Their tea is also amazing. Really friendly staff and always happy to help.

I ordered a tgtg small bag, and they give me some rice and a veggie curry , the curry was oili and super spicy, I had a few spoons and I throw up and I still feel sick 😫

Often visit this place as I work nearby. Staff is really nice. A lot of options to eat. I would recommend Sada/Plain paratha with any option like Curry or Egg. Also try their breakfast Halwa Puri.

The food here is more for the Asain palette. Most English people are used to Indian food in restaurants, which has been adapted to our palette. If you like traditional indian food then this will definitely be for you. I trued small fishes just to try them out. The chicken curry and rice were very nice and would buy these again, the rest was not for me. The vegetarian samosa was mainly filled with potatoe, the vegetarian curry, which was quite dry and needed something else added as in spice or herbs, etc.

Pathetic food, pathetic taste and biryani is really pathetic.

Amazing Pakistani authentic food. Taste and portions were spot on. Hygienic and prompt service.

Popped in today to grab dinner for the family was greated bye the owner & some very friendly staff I ordered a nan kebab roll & boneless chicken curry & some nan breads & pakoras & they did a special chicken tika for my mrs that she loved!! Thank you!! everything was amazing 10/10 every time... Chef Asia is the best most authentic Pakistani food for miles I drive from brentwood to go there as there's nowhere local to me that cooks to there standard... its worth the visit you won't be disappointed...

Very good staff , prices are really nice , Food quality is best

Delicious food, cooperative and nice staff ❤️

Chef Asia Romford best food and specially biriyani and only in just £2.99

Had an amazing time at Chef Asia! The Asian food was super tasty, like a flavor party in my mouth. The place had a nice vibe, and the service was spot on. If you're into yummy Asian dishes, Chef Asia is the place to be!

Food is tasty even though the costumer service is 10/10

Absolutely delighted with my dining experience at Chef Asia! The Asian cuisine was an exquisite blend of flavors, leaving my taste buds thoroughly satisfied. The dishes showcased a perfect balance of authenticity and innovation, creating a culinary journey that I won't soon forget. The ambiance and service were equally commendable, making it a memorable dining destination. Highly recommend Chef Asia for an exceptional Asian culinary adventure!

Chef Asia rocks! The Asian food was insanely good flavors popping in every bite. The place has cool vibes, and the service was top_notch. If you love tasty Asian eats, Chef Asia is a must-try!

Had a takeaway , great aroma , great taste. Will return

I ordered from good to go app. It was my first experience with the shop and the experience is really pleasant as the staffs were really helpful and warm. In terms of their food it’s really good and delicious. Their biryani item is must to try.🙂🙂🙂 keep up the good work.

We had dinner with family such a amazing Tast of Asia we had We shall come again the Authantic TAST of ASIA

I ordered via Just eat & the food was over an hour late. I phoned the restaurant again & again to be be lied too repeatedly and then the manager put the phone down on me while i was talking. When it eventually arrived it was dry, cold and overcooked. Do yourself a favour and spend your money somewhere else, this place i terrible.

They get orders wrong, unfortunate...Haleem was awfull...my wife had stomach ache, unfortunately. I cannot recommend this restaurant. Eat somewere else guys!

I got Haleem and they gave us what looked like Channa Daal with meat. It had soo much oil. On another occasion we ordered online and they delivered lamb instead of chicken. When asked to rectify, they pushed us to have the lamb, acoording to them it was 'tasty'. Even when we said we don't eat lamb.

My order said it’s been delivered and hasn’t arrived tried to call restaurant was very rude and ended the phone

Absolutely love the authenticity of this resturants dishes. My personel favourite is their Haleem with kulcha naan and their temder and tasty aaloo ke parathay are an abolute treat! This review might sound promotional but believe me or not they are JUST THIS GOOD!

Authentic Lahori nashta …Absolutely love it…It has become a favourite place for breakfast

The owner had the audacity to say not true, hey owner if its not true why do you have many other negative reviews, sort your staff out, sort your behaviour out, sort your business out and you might just get somewhere. I ordered via uber eats for the family. Am absolutely disgusted. The puris was stale and crumbling. No flavour to the halwa. The jalebis were stale like a day or two old. The lamb tikka roll had 4 very small pieces of lamb in a thick naan. Chana curry full of oil. Whole chicken was raw. There wasn't a single edible thing given and i waited 2 hours for the order. Complained to Uber. Shouldn't be allowed on uber eats. Definitely never ordering from them again. I don't know how they even thought it was acceptable to send this food to me. All in the bin.

The actual atmosphere is good but I’m disappointed in the food. The chicken over rice curry changes everyday. I know because I order everyday. They only give you 3 small pieces of chicken and barely any gravy/sauce. It comes with a Coke and on 2 occasions they have forgotten my Coke. To be honest I don’t think it’s worth it. I’m sure you can find better Pakistani food elsewhere in Romford. Upset me enough to leave a review so that’s all I’m saying.

Ordered the large goody bag on Too Good To Go Thursday night. On collection all but 1 of the dishes were all rice. Two had meat in the rice but I wouldn't even give that to my dog it looked so bad. The only curry sauce dish contained some sort of beans rather than any meat. Very disappointed will never order from them again.

Buy one get one free. Expensive and the dish was not pleasant, only 2 pieces of chicken

I had lamb pulao from there but the portion was very small amount not enough for one person I was very disappointed 😡.they said only me the first customer who was complaining and I can see many people complain here about the low amount of portion

I lived in Romford right by this place for 10 years and never once ordered from there, because it constantly changed hands, changed names and signage, at least 5 times in 10 years, which I thought was suspect. But today, my husband ordered takeaway from there without realising it was that place. Now I know why it has changed names so much! Firstly, our order took 1 hour 25 minutes to arrive. Pretty bad for a Tuesday! Secondly, everything was dripping with oil. I mean sooooo much oil!!! Third, I ordered a keema lamb naan. It had the tiniest amount of meat in it, barely visible. Fourth, I ordered a lamb curry, which was mostly just large chunks of bone, very little meat at all. I've never had a curry with bone in before, it was most unpleasant. The plain rice and saag (spinach) was nice and normal, but it's pretty hard to mess up rice. I definitely would not order from here, and now I know why I avoided this place for 10 years, my instincts were right!

We 6 Guys are cheaten from them....Thanks for your service

I had worse experience from this restaurant, I have ordered food through just eat they told me that it will take almost 1 hour for delivery I am okay with that then I was waiting for 2 hours the food , then checked the just eat app it was showing food was delivered I tried to call restaurant it was ringing and no one pick up my call then I was kept calling they picked up my call then I have told then this was happened they told me they will check and call me back then I was waited for 20 min no one called me then I called the restaurant again they told me that the deliver boy was contacted you and I didn’t pick up the call I checked my contact details and told them no one was called they won’t agree that it is fine may it was network issue then I requested them to redeliver they told me that I gave to pay extra delivery charge so I told them I will come and collect they agreed that then I walked almost 15 min they collected food they gave me the permission to have food from the restaurant it self myself and my friend have food from restaurant it self they don’t served any plates for us and we asked for two plates one young lady was there we have ordered some food also she served food but no plates then I asked again for plates she said two min we have waited no plates come we almost waited for 45 min fir two plates. I have never ever experienced this type services in my life I also have worked several star hotel this was not the service I have taught from there. I have lost my one day. The powers of restaurant please make sure this was happed again. Take this as a request because the time we have lost never come back

We went today for halwa puri …waited for 1-2 hours for order to arrive , asked several times the person at till who kept saying the order is coming in 5 mins ..:.then order arrived without potato curry….puris were made in bad oil ….I threw up straight away after I ate …..halwa was like a liquid and no taste in any of either halwa or puri or chole Please do not go to chef asia …:their food is of 3rs class quality and I am so sick after eating there

Well what can I say, went to this restaurant thinking it will be a good treat to myself with some yummy food but was massively disappointed with the service as well as food. When I asked for Nihari and Haleem if it’s made fresh, the answer was, it’s been made few days age and have been frozen and is served when customers aske for it after heating it in the pan I decided to order chicken biryani instead and after 20 minutes later, I was served with the biryani with the tiniest pieces of chicken( mostly broken bones in the biryani). I was sooooooo disappointed with the service too All i can say is in this day and age this place( Chef Asia) is ripping you off and isn’t worth going there at all.

Very rude man. Kept arguing with trivial issues.Not going there again.

Unfortunately I dint check the review of this shop before getting in. I had a chicken biriyani from this place. It had a bad smell. I even told this, to the person who was sitting in the counter. Once I gone through the reviews a lot of people are complaining about the same bad smell for the rice. Not all recommended!

Ordered 6 lamb biryani, portion sizes are very small and the amount of lamb they gave in each biryani is very very small, like 1 -2 pieces. Just felt like we paid almost £40 for flavoured rice, feels like a scam. Delivery took incredibly wrong, very upset at this, will not order from this restaurent ever again. If you want to have indian food, order from other indian restaurents, way more value for money there.
