Very lovely place, we enjoined it very much. Amazing food. Type of cousins is not common for London, but amazing. We've tasted 5 fish platter, calf liver and stuffed aubergine. All were amazing. House special cocktail was also great, not very common and lovely. Will come back when have a chance.

I’ve been here a few times now. This time I came for lunch and I wasn’t disappointed. The bread is delicious although I had to refrain from pigging on it too much. The falafel starter was amazing. Tasty, so many flavours and unlike any falafel I’ve had before. The main was simple, tasty and not too big which was perfect for lunch. Great service. The seating is really comfortable and it isn’t too cramped. I would highly recommend Filika in Theydon Bois.

Filika nestles in the quiet village of Theydon Bois. It has become a benchmark in great food, friendliness, and service; this was never more apparent than on our visit on Sunday. We were greeted and shown to our table by the window. The chat and laughter soon began to the accompaniment of smooth background music. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting, light-coloured walls, a bar to the left, and an open kitchen at the end. The menu is large and varied. Armed with an Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we soon made our selection. We had a shared starter consisting of tempura prawns, chicken on skewers, and scallops. All were perfect in flavour. For our mains, one went for the seabass, and two of us chose the mixed fish grill: the flavour and texture was truly mouth watering. This was baptised with a perfectly chilled Sauvignon Blanc. We then found room for dessert: chocolate ice cream, apple tart drizzled with Amaretto, and tiramisu. This culinary excellence was concluded with lemon tea, black Americano, cappuccino, and Sambucas. Plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. A great thank you for a truly uplifting dining experience, for the chat, laughter, and friendship. Our compliments to your talented chefs for their artistry in the 'hot room'. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy.

Filika is positioned in the middle of Theydon Bois village and is easily reached once you've parked. Three of us descended on this delightful eatery on Saturday night, and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted and shown to our table. The chat and laughter soon began. There is an air of civility and friendship from all at Filika that is very welcoming. Armed with an Aperol Spritz, a Pornstar Martini, and smooth background music we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu. We went for a shared starter: Tempura Prawns, Chicken on skewers, and Scallops; all were perfectly presented and prepared. Plus, we had the complimentary Turkish bread and dips as a delightful precursor. Our mains consisted of a Filika Chicken Shish special and two mixed Fish Grills; again, the freshness and flavour was outstanding. This culinary perfection was christened with a nicely chilled Sauvignon Blanc. Our gluttony didn't end there: one went for chocolate ice cream, and another went for the Apple Tart but drizzled with Amaretto. Exquisite. We concluded this gastronomic feast with lemon tea, cappuccino, black Americano, and Sambucas. We then had complimentary Sambucas and a Tia Maria from our gracious hosts. Once more, Filika has hit the magical benchmark of excellence in cuisine, service, and friendship. Our compliments to the talented chefs for their artistry in the 'hot room', and a huge 'thank you' to all at Filika's for the chat and laughter. We will be seeing you soon. Until then, keep happy and safe.

Booked ahead for a friend's birthday dinner, and would absolutely recommend. Lovely, comfortable decor, the atmosphere was nice and chilled, the staff were really friendly and didn't rush us despite it being busy. The food, wow, absolutely delicious! 😋 We shared a mixed mezze platter with a few extras and I had the herb crusted cod which was melt in the mouth heavenly! Generous portions, beautifully cooked with a varied Mediterranean menu. Lots of choice for vegetarians and also a kids menu. Pricing was fair, even for drinks and literally a 5 minute walk from Theydon Bois underground station. We'll definitely be visiting again!

Met up with an old friend and we picked this restaurant randomly as it was half way from where we both live. The food was amazing tasted really fresh and beautifully presented.. Even though we were chatting for hours and only ordered a main, dessert and a couple of soft drinks the staff were courteous , polite, and didn’t rush us. Would definitely go back again and would highly recommend Filika.

Filika just gets better by the minute; they have become a benchmark in fresh, flavourful cuisine with great service and friendship. My wife, Angela and I visited this brilliant eatery on a busy Saturday night on the Mother's Day weekend, and the service and standard of cuisine never faltered. The decor is inviting and remains unchanged with pictures of sea and landscapes hanging against light-coloured walls. The lighting is romantic, and the background music is 'smooth', creating a wonderful ambience. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table of choice. The chat and banter soon began, and we were made to feel right at home. Armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz, and to the accompaniment of polite chatter and laughter from diners already there, we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu. We went for a shared starter comprising of seared scallops, grilled prawns, and chicken cubes on skewers; this delicious starter was preceded by Turkish bread and a tasty dip. Our mains consisted of a Chicken Shish, and a mixed grilled fish dish; according to Angela, her chicken was full of flavour and tender; while my mixed grill combo was superb with fresh tasting fish, prawns, calamari, grilled octopus, all on a bed of mashed potatoes and vegetables - the taste was a delightful explosion on the palate. This culinary excellence was baptised with a crisp and chilled Sauvignon Blanc, which complemented our meal perfectly. We then found room for ice cream and an apple tart; my apple tart was without cream or ice cream but drizzled with Amaretto off-menu: the flavour was truly exciting. We concluded this gastronomic feast with tea, black Americano, and Sambucas - plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts - thanks, so much. It was truly an uplifting dining experience. Our compliments to the chefs for their artistry in the 'hot room', and a big 'thank you' to all at Filika's for an unforgettable night of great food and friendship. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy.

Went for my mum's 73rd birthday, food was nice and reasonably priced. Waitresses and bar staff were lovely. However our experience was unfortunately ruined by one staff member in particular (possibly front of house or the manager - tall and slightly bald). As soon as I entered the restaurant he didn't even greet me with a hello or a smile, but instead an abrupt, rude and moody "you only have the table until 6.45 because you're late." I explained that I had called at noon to ask if we could move our original 4.30pm booking to 5pm, which the person on the phone agreed to. He rudely replied, "well it doesn't matter you're late, you only have it until 6.45". I again explained that nobody said that would be the case, over the phone. However I was fine with that adjustment, what I was upset with was how I was spoken to and the accusation of being late. The man was very rude, unfriendly, and when I again later said we moved the booking to 5, he said "well you're still late." (We arrived at 5.02 FYI). Thankfully the rest of the staff were lovely, so we still decided to pay the service charge. He was very rude though, I walked in with a 6 month old, and he spoke to me like a child. I can't help but notice too that he didn't speak to others like that and wonder if it was because we were the only people of colour at the restaurant. Even when he gave me my order there was no eye contact or friendly smile, rather he just dropped it on the table and left. Despite my family being polite and friendly to staff and thanking them at the end, there was no friendly thank you in response or goodbye when leaving. A real shame.

Three of us descended on this brilliant restaurant for lunch last Sunday. We were greeted and shown to our table. The decor is pleasant with light-coloured walls and prints of seascapes. The background music was lovely. We were served with complimentary Turkish bread and a delicious dip. Then armed with an Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, accompanied by the polite hum of laughter and chat from other diners already there, we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu. The friendly banter and chat soon began. For our starters, two went for the shared portions of chicken on wooden skewers, prawn tempura, and marinated grilled prawns; one went for the seared scallops. The preparation and presentation were perfect: the flavours were rich and saturated your palate beautifully. Our mains consisted of a Lamb Shish, Mixed Fish Grill, and a Mixed Shish; again, the preparation was faultless with a freshness and flavour that was out of this world. This culinary brilliance was christened with a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc, which complemented our meal perfectly. There was no end to our gluttony: we found room to devour two Apple Tart Tatins and an ice cream. We concluded this debauched excellence with lemon tea, Cappuccino, black Americano, and black Sambucas including complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. Filika has proven to be a haven of friendliness, professional service, and exquisite quisine; it is definitely a civilised and hospitable place to be. Our thanks to all at Filika for the memorable dining experience, and our grateful compliments to their talented chefs for their artistry in the 'hot room'. We hope to see you all again very soon.

Went for the first time in December 2023 for a celebration and it was so good, we went a further two times in the month. The restaurant is easy to find, there is parking in the surrounding area (within 2 minutes walk max). Friendly greeting upon arrival and the restaurant is very tidy and clean. Table is cleaned between courses. Initial impression is very good with very friendly staff (especially Monty) and owner. The first occasion we had the mixed grill and sea bass which were both beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. We were brought cut pita and hummus whilst we were waiting which was lovely. We had a cocktail and Efes beer. For dessert, we had tiramisu and baklava which were both delightful. The second and third time we ate off the two course menu. Starter Dishes included falafel, cacik, aubergine ratatouille and tabbouleh. Each dish was fantastic and the plates were left clean. Main courses included the grilled chicken breast, lamb kofte, chicken burger, vegetable moussaka and sea bass. These were all served with fluffy well cooked rice and a lovely side salad. Again each dish was perfectly cooked and we were offered a small bowl of "homemade chilli" which wasn't hot but packed with flavour. Everything was cooked exceptionally well, wonderfully succulent and very tasty. Service from Monty and the others was friendly and efficient. Our one child is a coeliac and had many options to choose from and everything is clearly marked as vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. Finally the desserts of sorbet, ice cream and tiramisu were very well received and the cappuccino was excellent. This is our new favourite restaurant as it is well priced, has a friendly atmosphere, great staff and management, is clean and offers great value for money.

Fantastic restaurant, amazing service, really attentive despite being absolutely packed, and made us feel welcome and looked after. Desserts and coffee were outstanding.

But only a minor critique and otherwise a wonderful restaurant and highly recommend.

We were a party of six friends celebrating a birthday and having read the excellent reviews of Filika Theydonbois thought we’d give dinner there a try. We certainly weren’t disappointed One our party the Mix grill which looked amazing and apparently tasted delicious, I had the seared scallops followed by the Mix Fish Grill and My husband had the lamb kofte delicious flavour followed by Calf’s Liver. I can’t remember what everyone else had but all the dishes were beautifully presented. The Manager Ismail and his staff were professionally and friendly, advising us on the menu and making recommendations when we asked for advice. They didn’t hover over us while we ate but were readily available if we needed anything. We all had a wonderful evening and look forward very much to returning there for our next visit.

Filika is an all day dining restaurant which was an amazing find for us when we explored Epping Forest from Theydon Bois. The place looks inviting and really well presented from the outside and looking at the long menu hanging outside, you would be mistaken for thinking that this place is overambitious because of the extent of what is on offer (including both a great value set 2 course lunch and 2 course dinner). Well, once inside and having ordered various dishes, we were so impressed with the quality of the food and the amazing service here (Silia behind the bar and Monty at our table and others behind the overall experience) and the speed and finesse of the cooks who offered us dish upon dish of fantastically tasty fresh food. This great value place has a lovely welcoming atmosphere, and the proximity to Theydon Bois station, this restaurant should attract, not only the locals who have not yet tried it, but also people who are visiting the area for beautiful countryside & forest walks just for the day! Thank you Filika we very much enjoyed our dinner at your FAB restaurant

We three gluttoneers descended on this delightful eatery and, as always, we weren't disappointed. It was a Sunday evening, and a pleasant, short walk from the car. We were greeted with customary warmth and friendliness and shown to our table: a round window table - perfect. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting, light-coloured walls with calming prints of seascapes. There was a polite hum of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the background music was smooth and at the right decibel level. Armed with an Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu which should suit most palates. Two went for a shared starter of marinated grilled prawns and chicken on wooden skewers; I went for the seared scallops. They were all presented and prepared perfectly: rich in flavour and fresh. Our mains consisted of a lamb shish, mixed shish, and a mixed fish grill; again, the flavour and texture was faultless. This culinary delight was baptised with a brilliant La Serre Sauvignon Blanc, which complemented wour meal perfectly. There was no end to our gluttony this night: a shared apple tart tatin and one trio of chocolate ice cream. This gastronomic debauchery was concluded with tea, coffee, Cappuccino, and Sambucas - plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. It's not only the high standard of service and cuisine, but it's the welcome and friendly chat that uplifts your dining experience to the stratosphere. Filika is a true jewel in Theydon Bois.

Our mains comprised of a mixed fish grill, a mixed shish, and seabass fillet; again, the flavour was outstanding, and the freshness uncompromised. This culinary excellence was complemented by a crisp, light, Sauvignon which enhanced the taste of our meal splendidly. Incredibly, one of us managed a dessert of chocolate ice cream. We concluded this gastronomic debauchery with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and Sambucas. Plus, we had complimentary ones from our gracious hosts.

Some friends took us to this excellent restaurant on Wednesday evening. We had a wonderful evening. The food was superb and the service was delightful. We were treated to a selection of their delicious starters and we were all very happy with our main courses. We will definitely be back soon..

Nice late lunch on a weekend. Relaxed atmosphere, nice set up. Food was pretty good, and the lunch offer is really worth it. Coffee was not good, quite bitter and under extracted. Ambience: a customer was on his phone on loudspeaker for most of his and our meal. This is quite obnoxious and the management should be more vigilant.

This was another splendid dining experience at Filika. The decor and ambience is inviting. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The background music is brilliant without any thumping beats and screeching vocals. Their menu is quite large and varied catering for most palates. Armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz, we made our selection. Our starters comprised of tempura prawns, marinated grilled prawns, and chicken on skewers: all were perfectly presented and full of flavour. For our mains, we both went for the mixed fish grill, and everything was superbly cooked and the taste was sublime. This culinary perfection was complemented by a lovely chilled Sauvignon Blanc. We were too full for desserts and concluded this gastronomic adventure with lemon tea, a black Americano, and Sambucas. Plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. This delightful eatery has truly hit the benchmark in cuisine excellence, cleanliness, service, and welcoming friendliness. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to all who enjoy an uplifting dining experience. We will be seeing again very soon, until then keep smiling.

Absolutely outstanding ! Better than any local med restaurant - food was beautiful. Chicken was well cooked so juicy. Lamb was wonderful - mixed grill is a must. Also do some wonderful seafood dishes. Any foody get yourself down - warm friendly atmosphere and branching out from the original in Wanstead. Thank you for a great evening and amazing food

Tried the Filika Restaurant Thydon Bois with my other half, and it was great experience! AMBIENCE: A sleekly designed restaurant that is elegantly presented without compromising comfort. They have cosy corners for couples and long tables for big groups. FOOD: Amazing flavours that explodes in your mouth with every bite! You just feel happy eating their food. They serve authentic mediteranian food which is freshly made. PRESENTATION: Well, see the photos. Your eyes are full even before you taste the food. Impressive attention to details, you can tell that a lot of care has gone into preparing your food. And don't you think the blue and pink teapots are a sweet touch? SERVICE: A service with a smile. Very attentive and friendly service, nothing was too much to ask. They wiped your table clean after every course which i really liked! VALUE FOR MONEY: This is probably THE BEST (yes number 1!) Value for money restaurant that i have been to, in contrast with the quality of food and service you get! They serve big portions and would be happy to box up anything you may wish to take home. This is a must try restaurant and will surely become one of your favourites!
