MY PLACE LOUNGE in Barking and Dagenham

The food was very nice here. I really appreciated that a group of men came together and prepared such tasty food. They take pride in their food and it is very clear by the taste. Definitely wouldn't turn down an opportunity to order food from here again.

The owner is a gent, had a brilliant time here. Will most certainly be back.

Very unprofessional!! I scheduled a huge order via Uber Eats for their restaurant five days in advance and they cancelled the order 30 minutes before the scheduled time, without any notice or explanation as to why they cancelled it. The only reason I ordered from this restaurant is because of the good reviews I saw here on Google and I hoped to try their dishes. Never again!!

Had a take away last night paid 25 pounds for three dishes and a pancake roll they said 30 mins hour and half later it arrived apart from pancake roll it was all cold special fried rice was basically boiled rice worst meal I’ve ever had 26 rugby gardens carol mennie

I had to take my son to West Ham train station, and my wife wanted to join us for the journey. Since it was during the early hours of the morning, we anticipated heavy traffic, which added extra time to our trip. After dropping off my son, we thought it would be a good idea to grab some breakfast. A quick Google search led me to a café with a Turkish name, which immediately caught my attention. Out of curiosity, we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, I noticed that there was limited but available parking right in front of the shop. It required payment via phone or a parking app, so I paid £2.50 for an hour. The café was quiet, so quiet, in fact, that we were the only customers at the time. One of the first things I noticed, as always, was the temperature inside. While it wasn’t freezing, it wasn’t warm enough to feel truly comfortable and relaxed. We quickly browsed the menu and ordered a cheese omelette, a Mediterranean breakfast, and tea. As expected, the tea was served in mugs rather than a traditional teapot, which I find disappointing. It has now become a personal grievance of mine. I strongly prefer my tea served properly in a pot, and I doubt I’ll ever change my mind about it. The omelette was not particularly impressive. One side was overcooked, making it rough and a bit chewy. However, the Turkish sausage was a standout, it was the best I’ve had in a long time. I even asked about the brand, but the staff couldn’t provide an answer. Unlike many Turkish sausages that tend to be overly spicy or heavily garlicky, this one had the perfect balance of flavors. More importantly, it didn’t upset my stomach, which is something I usually struggle with after consuming this type of sausage. As for the Mediterranean breakfast, it was decent but not particularly rich in variety. The feta cheese, which was listed on the menu, turned out to be more like a mozzarella-style cheese, which was a bit of a letdown. The overall cost was reasonable, which is exactly what you’d expect for a casual café like this. The place was clean and tidy, though the toilet’s location was a bit inconvenient. You have to walk some distance to reach it, and the light switch was oddly placed on the wall, making it difficult to find at first, I even had to use my phone’s flashlight to locate it. In my opinion, this café is a decent spot for a casual visit if you happen to be in the area. However, it’s not a place I would go out of my way to visit again. It’s a basic café with a menu that also includes Turkish-style kebabs and other dinner options, but since I didn’t try those, I can’t comment on their quality. Would I recommend it? If you’re nearby and need a quick bite, sure. But if you're looking for a memorable breakfast experience, there are likely better options elsewhere.
