Filika Restaurant in Redbridge

Another fantastic experience in Filika for a family birthday this weekend. The staff are so lovely and attentive — plenty of bread and hummus on arrival! — and the food is absolutely delicious. A steal at £14.75 for two courses at lunchtime! Highly recommend the vegetarian moussaka. Generous portions and fabulous fresh food. Two of our party were celebrating birthdays. The staff noticed their birthday badges and kindly brought over two celebratory tiramisus with candles and sang happy birthday (with no prompt from us). Will definitely be coming back very soon!

We haven’t been able to visit for a while but what an amazing welcome back! The most wonderful service and such fantastic food! Just love this place!

Excellent, efficient and polite service. Very pleasant and bright interior too. A fine and varied menu. Very close to Wanstead tube station too.

Our first visit to this restaurant and we were so impressed. Great ambience, good lighting, friendly staff, extensive choice on menu, everything we ordered was beautifully cooked and beautifully presented. Also tasted amazing. Will definitely return.

We were looking for somewhere local to go to for a birthday celebration and thought we'd give Filika a try. We weren't disappointed. The food was excellent and the service and atmosphere was superb. We didn't have a starter but were given bread and humus whilst we waited for our main. We had the Mixed Shish for the main dish, followed by the apple tartin dessert. Both were well presented and tasted delicious. We were treated to free drink (we chose a Baileys) before we left which we thought was a nice touch. We would definitely recommend Filika but suggest that you book beforehand as it does get busy in the evening, even during the week.

We stopped by chance as there was disruption on central line, what a treat! Amazing food for everyone, even special diet like gluten free & vegan. We suddenly realised we were late, the super kind staff immediately packed up our food and processes the payment super quickly. We’re very grateful, thank you!

My wife, sister-in-law and myself had dinner here on a Friday night. Busy, so glad we had booked. We had a range of starters (the ladies had starters as mains) and I had the mixed grill. All well cooked and tasty. Service was great. Be very happy to return.

I highly recommend this lovely restaurant. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and the restaurant itself is very nice. Freweyni, our waitress, saw my friend wish me a happy birthday as she walked in and she very kindly brought out my dessert with a candle on it and offered us free shots to celebrate. A very kind gesture, which is rare these days!

We visited this restaurant for the first time and must say we weren’t disappointed. The service was very good and there was quite a big selection of food . Two of my friends are vegetarian and there was a good selection of food for them too . The quality of the food was good, freshly made served nicely and good value for money . Will definitely be visiting again

Very good food, service and atmosphere. A bit pricey but I'll say worths. The sea food is amazing! The steak is not so amazing tho but I will definitely come back for see food.

The luncheon "combo" meals are great value. I had falafel first course and seabass entree -- wonderful. We all ordered something different and all were excellent. Highly recommend this comfortable little place.

Lovely service, good food, a little noisy but we were sitting near the bar area. Mid range prices. Enjoyable

My partner had reserved an upstairs window table but although we had arrived early for our booking the table had been allocated to other customers. We were offered another table where one of us would have our back to the whole dining room. We suggested another table that had recently been vacated but had not been cleaned. This appeared to put the staff out and their attitude regarding our reservation was very blasé. I ordered the Calves Liver (a favourite of mine) which had been sliced into small pieces with mashed potatoes. The portion of potato was very small which I commented on when the waiting staff asked if everything was ok. The waiter stated that they would get some for me which I stated was not necessary as I believe that a proper portion should have been served with the meal. Despite not wanting the extra potato as I had finished the bread given to us, it arrived anyway. Apparently the meal was supposed to be served with spinach. I did eventually find some hiding behind a small slice of liver. We waited an age to order a dessert and coffee despite being given the menu as they cleared the table from our main courses. Dessert was very nice. Would I visit Filika again? Probably not. Our first time there was disappointing.

The service was very accommodating and excellent choice of dishes. I found they catered to me very well considering I was gluten free and provided veggie sticks with hummus instead of the bread. We will be back :)

Last minute decision to book for 6.30. Didnt have a starter as the bread fills me up. We had the grilled octopus and lamb shish and shared a lovely salad and then the chocolate torte. It got really busy but it didnt affect the service in anyway. We've already booked for a group Christmas get together

Have been to this restaurant many times but really want to shout out Filika as your go to restaurant for big group bookings too! We booked lunch for 20 people and had a lovely setting upstairs. The party menu was great, all the guests complimented on the AMAZING food, saying they would return again, and portions are huge! The staff and management are also amazing, so accommodating and really efficient with so many orders. Adrian in particular really made sure everyone was looked after. A real gem in Wanstead.

Yesterday I had lunch with my friends and the food was amazing. Service was good she served us nicely, was very pleasant, listened very carefully to our requests! Affordable price hopefully I'll be back soon with more friends.. Go and enjoy ur lunch there with their yummy food's !

This was an overpriced and disappointing expereince. The Meze for 2 sa s astrter was small,l limuted and pfredictable. Our mains were very disapppointing-my lamb chops were a series of fatty meats and my compoanion was eating verhy mediocre fish.. The bill was over £120 for two-I have just got back from Nice and £80 would have been high and far better value.The servioce was OK but #value fpor moeny' and 'quality of food'-really poor.

Me and my family went on the 6th May 2023 to celebrate my granddaughter birthday. I definitely would recommend this restaurant. We sat upstairs where there was 9 of us and it was very spacious even with the buggy. Compliments to the chef that day and the waiters. The service was amazing 💯. I had the home made chicken burger, my daughter had mix fish grill, my sister had Sea bass, all had amazing taste and very filling. We didn’t have any room for dessert 🤷🏽‍♀️

We visited mid-week for my daughters 18th birthday. We travelled from about an hour away but I heard good things about this place so it was worth the drive. Staff was very friendly and helped us smuggle her birthday cake in without her noticing. They made a fuss of her and we’re attentive throughout. The food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. It tasted just like we was back on holiday! We was a party of 4 so was trying everything off of each other’s plates, (I already know what I’m ordering next time we go). I would definitely recommend this restaurant to couples, families and groups of friends. Absolutely loved it. Thank you to all the staff that made this a beautiful birthday for my daughter. Can’t wait to return.

Excellent service from the moment we walked through the door and were warmly greeted with a smile. The service was first class as was the food and we will be back.

Excellent quality, service, value for money. Enjoyed having lunch here. Will come again. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had an excellent lunchtime meal here. The food was of high quality, the prices reasonable, and the staff friendly. We chose this restaurant because of a need for gluten-free meals, and were not disappointed; they have a good range.

Went to have a birthday meal with my partner this evening. Having gone past Filika plenty of times before, was curious to see what was offered. Having researched the menu and some reviews felt confident that this would be a nice place to go. Oh!...

The best food I’ve tasted in london for a long time. Very clean restaurant. Staff service superb and food delicious. We had the shared started and the cod for the main. Best fish I’ve eaten in ages.

I have lost count how many times I have visited Filika, I simply cannot get enough. Every single time the food is exquisitely good, I would highly recommend the octopus dish. The staff are professional, friendly and attentive. I have visited here in a couple,...

Have been here before and enjoyed our meal. This time, totally different. There was a group of incredibly loud women in the restaurant who had been asked to quieten down by management. They refused to do so. Screeching, screaming, howling. Not a care for anyone...

Lovely relaxed meal. Service very good. Waiter happy to swop rice for side salad. Ample, tender meat. My wife also recommends her very tasty lamb burger and chips.

Really good food served in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Portions are very generous and prices reasonable for the area. Will definitely return!!

If you have passed this restaurant and thought about trying it do so immediately. The food, staff, décor in fact everything is superb. What a place

My second visit to this restaurant, this time for a friend's birthday dinner. As it was a late reservation we skipped starters and went straight to mains. I opted for the mixed sea food platter and oh my god, it was incredible. There was salmon,...

The food and service here is amazing, our third visit and still trying new items from the menu, they were very busy yesterday but staff were very attentive and polite. Weekends would recommend to book a table.

Would definitely recommend visiting here. The food is so delicious and the portions are well worth the price. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's a small restaurant but a gem. Also thank you the staff member who dropped my purse home after I left...

Visited with friends at lunchtime. There's a great two course special. Portion sizes were good and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be back as I spotted a number of other dishes I'd like to try. The restaurant was clean and staff professional.

Popped out midweek for a meal with my daughter and the service was outstanding. Every single person serving us was so welcoming and courteous. The food was one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had. I had been to the Shard for dinner the week...

Great service and food. Staff are very friendly, restaurant is immaculate and food never disappoints. Highly recommend.

Was going to try book for lunch today but seeing how they store the bread put me off of this place completely. If they treat food like this in public view, one can only imagine the state of the kitchen!

Service was amazing Food was lovely and didn't take long Atmosphere great clean and tidy had a brilliant night

The restaurant is wonderful in so many ways: it has a great menu - loved the hot starters, the calamari were my favourite, but also the main courses, so many different fish options. I loved also the cocktail of the house, their special creation. Also,...

This place is a real hidden gem - beautiful interior with some seating outside, helpful staff and most importantly, delicious and beautifully served food. I would definitely come back to try other dishes if I'm in this area!

My family and I came for a meal last night and we will definitely be back! We were impressed with their service after a slight mistake with a dietary request the staff were very quick to amend the problem and provide us with alternative dishes...

Booked lunch here today with very discriminating (fussy) friends, and how glad I was. Food, presentation, service excellent, ditto ambience, and really exceptionally generous portion size and value for money. Plenty of competition in Wanstead, but this is my new go-to.

Went to Filika last week for dinner with friends and was seated upstairs. I can't recommend the food enough - grilled octopus was delicious, as were the scallop and the cod. The service on the other hand was poor. Our waitress brought a mixed appetizer...

I went with friends. The customer service and food quality was excellent. The venue was clean and hygiene was very good. It was wheelchair accessible but unsure if they had disabled toilets. They said toilets were on the first floor. But I saw a wheelchair...

An amazing hidden gem in East London. The food is to die for and scallops just melt in your mouth. The attention to service and the environment just made this visit that much more special. We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. If I...

The best mediterranian restaurant which serve food, mezes, desserts, drinks for all style. Especially mixed fish combination is delicious which makes to taste the difference. Well done to chefs.

It is a beautiful and decent restaurant where we are very happy with its fresh and delicious food every time we go with our friends. We always prefer all waiters, service, and interest with peace of mind.

I recently visited outside and have been many times as it is my favourite restaurant! Their food is 1st class with their service and I am never disappointed with the range of food they have available. A lovely atmosphere, that's always relaxing and enjoyable!! 😄

I ordered a take away for collection today and I am so impressed I had to come here to recommend although I can see that they probably don't need another 5 star review. Regardless, ordered a mix of cold and hot starters and some octopus,...

I went to the Filika restaurant for the fist time this evening and I was pleasantly surprised. The Manager Eray and his wonderful staff gave exceptional service. The food was great and atmosphere was good. Definitely will be going back. Well done guys!
