Jungle Braai in Tower Hamlets

Great atmosphere and service but I am afraid the food let the place down. Not all of it was poor as such deserves around 3 stars. Hopefully they business can take feedback positively and work on freshness of focus on cooking and flavours easy to get back upto the 5 star mark.

absolutely delicious. couldn't have been any better

food was nice and hot with lovy sevice very friendly staff make u feel comfortable thank tou will be coming soon again

I loved the burgers, its so juicy and full of flavour its the perfect ratio of all tastes. I will definitely be purchasing again!!!!!! I am really delighted to have found a new favourite food shop

If you're looking for a little slice of flavor paradise in London, Jungle Braai is where it's at! I recently ordered a takeaway from this gem, and let me tell you, I was in for a treat. First off, the packaging was spot on—my burger arrived looking just as good as it does on their menu. No soggy buns here! Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the burger. It was seriously tasty! The patty was juicy and packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The blend of spices really made every bite a delight.

Lovely food amazing service i had the steak was lovely, sister also gave me a power bank to charge my phone very good service . Will definitely recommend also they are refurbshing and the place looks amazing with beautiful nasheeds.

Went here years ago, wasnt too impressed but went recently, was very good, burgers and the chicken steak i had were seasoned and cooked perfect

The food is amazing u wanta keep going back for more

Great prices great food! Would totally recommend. Salad is so cheap and so big. Steaks are tasty!

We really enjoyed our family dinner at jungle braai. The food was superb; full of flavour, sizzling hot and tender. Lamb chops and JB’s Special chilli chips are a must have. Butterfly chicken steak always hits the spot.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the food was full of flavour and I would definitely recommend the BBQ ribs and chicken butterfly steak! This is a hidden gem of East London.

Delicious, succulent, well cooked and reasonable. Well done and thank you . I’ll deffo be back

So delicious especially the steak

The food is good however staff can improve on their customer service skills. I ordered my meal and i had to ask for cutlery, tissue and sauces. None of which were given to me when food had arrived. Also they only had 1 wooden fork left. I ordered a burger and it had a strong taste of ginger inside and ruined the experience.

The food is good but the place is disgusting and dirty, nit a good atmosphere. They need to add some class to it. Look into the pots where they keep the cutlery, the old sauce bottles. It needs a proper cleanup , new utensils and a good makeover.

Call it a great waste of a Friday. From a terrible waiting staff to a tasteless meal delivered by the same crass waiter who literally couldn't care less about your meal or experience. Non chalant. They only accept cash and make the dining experience terrible as you have to run to the ATM while keeping your friend as an insurance back at the restaurant. Truly disgustful waiter. Don't know his name but he is the one with a full beard. His waiting manner will make you feel like you are being fed like a cattle.

Absolute rip off, caught the guy ordering my food from the chicken shop next-door.

Amazing food. Very friendly staff

**Absolutely terrible experience!** I feel completely robbed—robbed of the precious time I had reserved to spend with my family and robbed of my hard-earned money. This establishment is run by people with no morals or etiquette, prioritising money over integrity, their faith and customer service. We had an awful experience and will never return. We were a party of 16, mostly children, and ordered four platters. They were served 30-40 minutes apart, with no sides accompanying the meals. The sides arrived only after we had finished eating, and the salad came even later. One burger we ordered never arrived, and we eventually had to cancel it. When we complained in-store, we were told this is their usual practice. There was no apology or compensation for the disgraceful service. As a token gesture, they tried to knock £8 off the bill, but it was insulting. I told them to keep their discount and eat the money, as they love money more then their honour & integrity. Avoid this place at all costs!

The best steak joint in the uk hands down!!!!!!!!!

very nice food customer service. Made me feel very welcome Food was delicious.

Wonderfully cooked, Amazing and very friendly service... Lovely people , delicious food.

This use to be my favourite restaurant PITY ITS Gone downhill. Service was sooo bad. I hadn’t even finished eating the guy started clearing the table up. The bill was on the table even though I was still eating. Last couple of times the food has been burnt chops and prawn well overcooked EVEN THOUGH I TOLD him several times not overcook them. The chops wr cut so thin plus burnt they were like rubber. The standard of the food is so bad now. I love the sauce of this place. It’s so disappointing I will miss it.

This food is terrible quality, they sell lamb ribs, but they serve mutton and it was very chewy, my cat did not even want to eat it. Please change the name and leave the word braai alone, because this is defo not braai.

The food is hit and miss. Some items are great, others very poor. There doesn't seem to be consistency which is the biggest issue here. Service was good and the ambience was nice. The staff are hardworking and regularly check in.

My visit to Jungle Braii left much to be desired. Amidst high expectations, the reality fell far short. The buffalo wings, intended to be a highlight, arrived disappointingly cold, lacking the warmth and flavor one would expect. The steak, anticipated to be tender and succulent, proved to be overly chewy, detracting from the dining experience. Equally disappointing was the lack of attentiveness from our waiter, whose absence bordered on neglectful. It's disheartening when the service fails to match the caliber of the cuisine. To exacerbate matters, a dear friend discovered a hair in their meal, a discovery that understandably tainted the entire dining experience for our group. Such oversights in food quality and hygiene are unacceptable in any establishment, let alone one that purports to offer a pleasant dining experience. Regrettably, my experience at Jungle Braii left me with no desire to return. With so many other dining options available, I see no reason to subject myself to another disappointing meal and lackluster service.

MIS - STEAK I went to JB to break my fast, I can say it was the worst experience I've had in any restaurant, food was standard was very poor, service was atrocious and to top everything we found hair in the food. Very disappointed that they don't expect card, and when you do pay by cash they don't have the correct change.

Hey everyone, I recently had a not-so-great experience at Jungle Braai.The service was really slow, and when my food finally arrived, the chicken wings were cold. 🍗😕 I tried to get the attention of the waiter, but they didn't come to address the issue. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience. I hope they can improve their service in the future. #honestreview"

A blend of African and Portuguese cuisine with a kick of south Asian. Wide choice of menu. Brilliant service, piping hot sizzling food.

Under new management so a few menu changes. Food was basic nothing special. The chops were tasteless and not cooked that great. Fries portion very small! The rice was cold and steak was a basic quality! The buffalo chicken wings and barbecue wings were the best and are a must try. The rest just wasn’t hitting the spot. Some items didn’t come but they still tried to charge us. Won’t be going back here for a long time!

Great experience after a long time

All Got severe food poisoning and it was the only food we had all eaten. one went to hospital for severe dehydration from constant vomiting.

My first time here I was really looking forward to going as wanted to visit a south African restaurant for ages and I wasnt disappointed I have to say the food was amazing the service prompt and friendly 100% recommend will definitely be going back cant fault it at all x

Asked for no mayonnaise but burger will filled with it.

I had an impromptu meal here once and was great. I ordered online this time around. Chips was stale( oil old), the food was really salty and gave me food poisoning and bad stomach ache almost immediately after. Also I think the restaurant may have some mice cos my corn turned up with bits appearing to have been eaten by rodents no crumbs were in the bowl. Customers beware.

Big portions, ribs were bit fatty, wings were great, chicken steak very nice. Great service

Good and delicious food, very enjoyable food. However the guy was very moody and uninteractive, we ordered a sprite and instead he gave us Cocoa Cola and some other drink which we did not order. When i complemented him on the food and service, he was very miserable, moody and rude. He also did not show any response to the inquiry i had about the toilets, so i did not go because he totally ignored me. Atmosphere was very mundane because the customer service was poor and it not justify the taste of the food, the food itself was very good, nicely cooked and prepared and i enjoyed it very much no complaints there. The waiter was very rude and did not say thank you or showed any courtesy upon payment and exit, even from the get go he was persistent we finish up. Mundane and poor waiter manners but great food.

was a good option for a low carb night!

Had my friends birthday party here, super accommodating, great food, allowed to be free to enjoy the place! Would highly recommend the Zulu sausage- it’s awesomeeeeee :)))))))))) thank you very much!

Eight of us lads went for dinner. We spent over £200. Chops were decent, as well as the chicken steak. My friends did not enjoy the steak and chips. The mojito was ok, the strawberry mojito wasn’t nice. Service was questionable with the guy disappearing randomly and then appearing again. The owners don’t care about the restaurant, please see my photos. Condition of the restaurant is disgusting. There is potential however a long way to go!

Meat weren’t even properly. Very disappointed

The food is amazing at jungle braai , I've eaten here before. Amazing and tasty . I ordered with uber Eats and received the wrong delivery, long story short, I went to Jungle braai they listened kindly and decided to correct the order for me on the spot instead of having to go through uber Eats Customer service whose customer service number was not helpful, the staff prepared for me what I ordered. Amazing customer service. Waiting for my order as I type this review.

Made an order, received the food but couple of items were missing. Contacted Jungle Baai and spoke to Majid and he arranged for the missing items to be sent to us. Unfortunately, the Sprite leaked onto to the food by the time we received it. Spoke to the owner, Majid and he said that he will send it again to us but then later during the conversation changed his tone. Be very careful; their customer service is extreme shallow. Very poor behaviour by the owner. He has just lost a customer.

Food was beautiful but the toilets were disgusting.

lovely food always top service !

They are inadequate on getting your order correct very disappointing

Way over priced for low quality tasteless food

Excellent steak! I got the t bone and it was delicious! Especially the steak sauce, it has a unique flavor I haven’t tasted before 🤩

Ordered lamb ribs last night. Firstly I think they were mutton as meat was tough and secondly the ribs were undercooked, ribs meat should fall off bones. Very disappointing. Sauce was excellent

Nice food, service was fine but we didn't have enough spoons and forks for the people at the table. We were given 1 cup less per person at the table also.

Brilliant aspect to this resturant Is one can preorder dine in food so that it is ready at time of arrival, particularly great for Ramdhaan Iftar.

Food is amazing. Weve been coming here for two years every month. It’s pricy but worth every penny! The taste cannot be found anywhere else! The meat melts in your mouth and I would definitely recommend coming here for dinner! Fills you up and the customer service is cute! Tables and chairs are sticky though. Deserves a deep clean other than that everything is perfect! So glad we found this place! Obsessed!

It was 29 minutes early and I was not able to change the delivery time after placing the order.

I generally don't enjoy meat very much, and can still admit this place has the nicest meat platters I've had in a long time. The chips come in quite small portions but you can pick between skinny and fat ones which is nice. We didn't eat the prawn and I wasn't a fan of the buffalo wings, although the steak and other wings and ribs were perfect. The price is what you would expect- it's a treat rather than a place for lunch, but they only take cash which made it a bit difficult. The mocktails and milkshakes are lovely too. The toilets are okay in terms of cleanliness and the décor is interesting (wildlife). It isn't the cleanest place I've been but nor is it the dirtiest. The décor could do with some dusting in general. It is a bit dark in there even during the daytime, but overall it's not unpleasant. The service overall is wanting, however. I've been there and eaten in twice. First time (a Sunday afternoon), the waiter had excellent customer service but the man on the counter didn't have any at all or know how to smile (neither had much English which didn't interfere much). The second time (Sunday lunchtime), the waiter was the most miserable person I've seen in a while. He seemed annoyed by our coming and almost flung each dish onto the table. Then started clearing up while we were still eating. It was a fairly big (expensive) order so I guess it wasn't that he was unhappy about. Anyway, if they invested in smile training, and in light of the food, I'd give Jungle Braai a 5 otherwise.

Used to be so good, but gone downhill. The food is still decent, but the service is beyond rubbish. Food comes out in drips and draps, if you try speaking to the waiter he has a dirty attitude. Still cash only which adds to the headache.

This is an updated review after 5 years...still serving great tasting food at affordable prices ...keep it up

Didn't enjoy at all will not be ordering again

Disgusting food late and cold and missing items

The ribs and chops with the house sauce are lovely 👌

Ordered food to be without sauce, came without. Just eat refused to refund. It usually comes without so was very disappointed to see they've. hanged.

We shared the Braai mix for two and it was very tasty and meat was all cooked well! Favorite was the chops and the prawns but it all worked well together and was delicious! We ordered different dipping sauces but they all looked pretty much the same. Was tasty nevertheless. Would order again!

Just eat driver stole the food. He came downstairs on the street. Spent few minutes then marked the food delivered, took U turn and left. The driver didn't deliver the food to us, nor he called us if he was unable to locate the address. My kids were starving. This is daylight robbery

Everything was perfect. Lamb Chops, Garlic Bread, and especially Chicken Fritters. So delicious. Loved it

Good value service and food for price point. Wide selection of grills and steaks and mocktails. Great for family get togethers

The best food in walthamstow! Great quality food, great service!

Underwhelmed by food. Cash only.

This place used to be really good. I went again 2 days ago and it was the opposite! Ordered a few starters which were decent and steak and chips as the mains course. The steak was really tough, dry and lacked essentially seasoning. I would’ve expected the quality to be like it was a few years ago, especially at the price range they were charging. Waiter was in his own world and lacked the hospitality that’s needed in restaurants. He took ages to bring our cutlery etc and when we asked him for descriptions on some of the menu items - he kept short and with no info given!

The Indian guy try lie to me first saying they had no coke cans and try sell me a coke bottle when I could clearly see a coke can in the fridge as the coke bottle was more expensive

Was disappointed with my steak it was very chewy.

Food was OK but my wife found it a bit too tangy, my butterfly chicken steak was nice and cooked through and the fries were decent and tasted nice. They just opened so it was very quiet until a bit later when it got busy, they only take cash but there's a couple of cash points near by

It's really a 8/10 Food was very good, lovely portions, Decent family atmosphere, Unfortunately, they only accept cash, hence the 1 star Management needs to get with the times, If they wasn't hmc i would have called hmrc just to inconvenience them loool

One of my favourite steak places. Been coming here for years and the steak is pretty much the same. The brothers will let you pray there if you need to.

best food ever, the flavours are unique and different to any other restaurant. i would 100% recommend

Worst experience in a food place in a long time. The chops were over cooked, very chewy. Asked the chef if he could make new ones as my as we could not chew them, it was like rubber. Then our steaks come, worst steaks ever. Even more chewie. Never going there again .

Food was very good and yummy. Price point….it is what it is food does cost a bit but considering everything is homemade it is quiet high in quality. Although service isn’t the best and a bit slow.

Over priced, end up having food posioning with projectile vomiting . Wouldn't recommend

Food was good and so was the service! Family oriented definitely recommend

It's yummy, tasty, delicious and mouthwatering... Thank you to all the staff...

Tasty wraps and friendly staff. Not the cheapest but the quality is higher for sure

The only reason I'm even leaving 2 stars is because of the food was actually nice. However, the service of the guy who brought the food to the table resembles someone who doesn't even want to be there, let alone care. When I went with my friend and ordered food, we sat down and the guy bringing the food to the table practically dashed the food on the table. This guy clearly doesn't care or respect the customers, especially the fact that he was holding a hot plate. The guy was not even hospitable, he just wanted to put the food down and be gone, he wasn't even friendly or approachable. And also what's with the no card machine? Absolute headache having to find an Atm to get cash.

Good food, variety on the menu, cash only is the downside

Outstanding food and Great customer service. Will definitely come back again... And again! 👌🏼

What you see in the pictures is what you call a meal for 3 😂😂 having a laugh I swear Came to London for a trip and stopped by the restaurant must admit service and food quality was not good . We ordered and within 5 minutes the food was done, clearly means food was pre made or frozen and not done with love ! The prawns they were pre cooked so hard and dry didn’t even come out of the shell. Place was really dirty. Man said the drinks are £2… didn’t even want to risk drinking tap water. Was trying to eat my meal and could only hear screaming in the kitchen and staff members just relaxing on their phones. DONT BOTHER ORDERING ANY PRAWNS ANS SAUSAGES !! I swear

The Ambience was not so great as I had to wait. It did pickup towards 8 o clock but I wouldn't recommend it.

Update: the Hygiene rating is now 0!!! Check the council website. They must have rats or mice This place has a very poor hygiene rating of 2 due to its well-below standard hygiene practices. Please check the food standards agency website for reference. The hygiene dropped almost 12 months ago and despite reassessments; it has remained the same. It's absolutely beyond me why and how people are still eating here...

Mixed platter was excellent, very tasty food, portions are big. Very reasonably priced.

Hi,jungle bari is all time favorite restaurant for our family.staff is really friendly.customer service is excellent.chicken salad and chops is our all time favorite.their chicken burgers and chips are also really good 👍.i would recommend everyone to must try their food. I would definitely give 10/10.

Excellent service, courteous and professional staff, fantastic food, really tasty, generous portions… i would return definitely

I went to have dinner at this place this week. I have been before but now I will definitely not be returning. I found a hair in my food and I told the main guy who takes orders. He shrugged his shoulders, no apology at all and said he doesn't know where it came from. Then he said it may have come from the brushes used when cooking. He took the peice of food with the hair and showed his colleagues who were cooking. He then came back and said it's a female hair and they don't have female workers. How on earth did he know that! I told him it's not mine as I am wearing a headscarf. He then said he doesn't know where it came from and continued continued make excuses and left. My dad then spoke to him and confronted him about the poor customer service and the fact that he hadn't even apologised or given us a discount etc rather he kept making excuses. Even after being confronted he did the same thing. The customer service is awful at this places and I do not recommend going.

This restaurant is unworthy of any stars whatsoever. Frustratingly, we walked straight out of the restaurant as soon as we saw the bold sign that stated how you do not take card. That’s unacceptable, every restaurant should allow card as to not inconvenience customers. It is unethical and inexcusable. I was looking forward to eating dinner here but we were discouraged by the requirement of cash only. We were with our two small babies, so to take cash out before a meal is not viable at all. Please change this.

Food was ok but they put their special sauce on everything so the chops, ribs and steak tasted all the same. It took a while for the food to come out and it didn't come out at the same time so some people were half finished before I even got my food. The restaurant looked under staffed and that was shown with the service and delay in getting food out. Finally we found out that they didn't take card payments when paying the bill, luckily we had enough cash.

16th July ordered 2 burgers meal and chicken salad. It took them more than 1 hour to deliver the food, which arrived absolutely cold. I also told them NOT to add any sauce in the burgers which were full of mayonnaise, which was horrible. Will never order food from them again.

Very bad quality food, steak was very rigid and rubbery, we did not finish our food, thats how rubbery it was’ and we spent more than £150. We complain: to the restaurant who chose not to work with us and said you should’ve told us before. We wanted a new steak and we did NOT get. I would not recommend l

Best steak in the area !!!! Always cooked to perfection Love this place!

We've been regulars for 6.5 years. Hubby had a bad experience a few months back and I said let's just try again for my birthday. Chef has inability to understand how to cook steak to different types. Both medium and well done were inedible. Utterly uncuttable with a sharp knife and couldn't even chew as it was like cardboard. As if steak is left on the grill then load it with sauce Drinks were on point. But sadly. We will no longer come to Jungle Braii. Was a fab place to go to..sorry.

This was supposed to be my fathers day treat but i ended up paying so you might as well call it happy parental day. Service was good Lamb chops were not good at first but replaced very kind of them tbh

It's a shame this place has really gone down hill. I went to have dinner on Saturday night with some friends and ordered the mixed grill platter. A lot of the red meat had a horrible smell like it was off. My friend was unlucky to be the first to bite into it and taste how bad it was. The chicken was slightly undercooked as well. The waiter refused to believe us that the meat was and said we serve this to everyone no one complained. After we finished we spoke to the manager at the till and he was also very rude, unapologetic and refused to accept that he served us bad meat. We even made him smell one of the pieces of chop. Last time I'll be visiting this place.

Went here with a friend but we had to leave. The tables were dirty, there were left over rice in the kitchen. The kitchen top & sink were full of dirty pots, dishes etc not a pleasant experience at all. We didn't stay we wanted to try Brazilian restaurant but this was disappointing 😕

Went there after long time. Must admit it has gone down it taste from when it first opened Also not taking cards another downside

Went to a branch years ago on brick lane and loved everything. Was gutted to hear that they had shut. Very pleased to now know that there is another branch and glad that the service and quality of the meals is still as I remember it.
