All round excellent service, including food, drinks. Been here a couple times now and always enjoyed the experience. It has the right elements and balance of: attentiveness, drink and food selection, not a long wait for drinks and greeted politely, decor, good vibes

If only I’d seen the owners reply to a bad review they got under their google reviews! Shockingly rude! A table was booked for 7.30pm tonight to celebrate an 18th Birthday, we pulled up it was closed! To see the look on these 4 girls faces, SHAME ON YOU!! Called no answer, finally answered by a rude man saying we open at 8! BS!!! You open at 6, no? As per your website? AVOID this place after the way they let down these young girls tonight, no sorry nothing! Thankfully Turquise in Loughton fitted them in at the last minute......ps. Now abuse me, be rude and call me a liar like you did the other bad review!!! ***NO STARS***

We recently hired the venue for our daughters 18th birthday party for approx 150 people. We had an amazing evening the staff especially Kash were very accommodating & nothing was too much trouble to make my daughters special evening go smoothly. We would highly recommend Parlay E18 as a venue for a party you would not be disappointed!

I was so looking forward to visiting this restaurant as I had heard loads of great things about it however when I rang to book a meal the person who answered the phone was very rude and informed me that they would not accept my valid Groupon voucher. This was very disappointing and I won’t make the mistake of trying to book a meal at Parlay again.

I visited Parlay with a big group of colleagues and we couldn’t have picked a better place! This restaurant had come highly recommended and I can now see why. We chose bbq chicken wings, chicken tenders, kofte, ribs and a fish basket for starters and shared this between us. For my main meal, I chose butterfly chicken and sweet potato fries, which was extremely soft and tasty. The attention to detail was spot on and the food was delicious. What made this even better, was the friendly owner, Seyhan, who looked after such a big group of 24 of us, with no hassle at all. The staff were polite and friendly and the cocktails were amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant/bar as a place to go and can’t wait to return with my family!

Some of us had starters and mains whilst others had a few small plates and sides instead.

We each had a starter and main, and I had a few vodka and diet cokes, which was reasonably priced; I enjoyed the chicken tenders to start and then the chicken skewers, all cooked perfectly. My boyfriend tried the cheese balls to start which he was very impressed with then enjoyed the double cheeseburger. At the end we was offered some complimentary shots as we was waiting for the card machine, although it was no bother at all.

Visited Parlay last weekend for my second time and I have to say that it didn’t fail to deliver - again. We were made to feel welcome by all of the staff from the moment we walked through the door and were shown to our table. We started with a round of cocktails for the table. I had an Old Fashioned, which was well made with just the right amount of orange and not too bitter. The food menu has everything you would want without being fussy - I went for the chicken strips to start and the lamb burger for main, both of which were well cooked and tasty. The restaurant was full when we arrived, which is always a good sign and added to the atmosphere which was fun and relaxed.

Let’s just say we waited a whole 1hr and a half to have our food serviced to us, even though our food was ordered at 8:25, we didn’t end up getting our meal until 10:00pm. Unless we asked no one came to ask us anything about our order. We even had to ask for water to placed on the table. As much as the staff were apologetic after our umpteen questions about our order...I think they lacked organisation. To add insult to injury even people that came in AFTER we arrived they still got serviced their meals before us.

I had dinner here with 3 other friends in January on a Thursday night. As soon as we arrived, I instantly felt a lovely welcoming atmosphere and loved the decor in the bar area and further in the restaurant where we sat. Our table was ready for us and the waitress was so friendly and although we sent her away a few times to give us a few minutes, each time she came back we were still not ready as we were yapping away, she was so patient, friendly and was ready when we were. We had a decent bottle of red wine and ordered a selection of starters which were exceptionally presented, and were tasty, full of flavour. There was nice background music and added to the aura. I know this place is relatively new, but I was pretty impressed to see the manager walking around talking to customers and greeting them like he does it all the time, you don't get that everywhere and he made sure we were happy with our food and service so far.

This place has a lot of potential but as yet untapped. The food is pretty pedestrian. Usual grill stuff, burgers, steaks etc. Not my first choice of restaurant, nor second, however was willing to give it a go as it is relatively new. For a Saturday night it was only half full, with the front half of the restaurant totally empty. If there were minimal tables and chairs here and with the right marketing this space could be a great cocktail bar offering small bites. It was a very cold night out and unfortunately it was not particularly warm inside. With only 1 waitress and the manager/owner the service was friendly but slow - we waited a good 20 minutes before our cocktails arrived and longish waits for our starters and mains. The breaded king prawns were fine and the portobello mushroom with creamy spinach and parmesan had quite a runny sauce, though the flavour was good. Our friends Halloumi salad and fish and chips was good, however my 'classic burger' had to be sent back as it was very well done - in fact it the one mouthful I had was dry and I suspected had not been freshly cooked but was re-heated, the second one was not much better and only arrived about 5 minutes after the first! The chips were very good. The manager/owner was apologetic for the waiting time and my burger and he kindly gave us two rounds of Limoncello on the house which was very kind of him. This place though needs to up its game to compete with the many good local restaurants in and around South Woodford and I hope they make a success in the forthcoming year.

We ordered a mix grill which is meant to be for 2, a hot dog meal, a kids burger meal. The mix grill was tiny with one pitta, bland and flavourless, the hot dog and burger had taste and flavour, the chips were cold and soggy, the food in general was not fresh and piping hot. It looked like not much effort had been put into preparing it.We had waited so long for the delivery, thoroughly dissapointed, chips just went in the bin.

I've had worse teething issues at some bigger chain of restaurants! Staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming, the food was very good as was the desert, and I'm not usually one to eat desert.

I visited Parlay on Friday night with a friend and I can honestly say I had such a lovely evening. Immediately greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The food was so good, great choice on the menu, I had the goats cheese to start, Cajun chicken pitta and we shared the doughnuts. The main course was so delicious, couldn’t fault it. The doughnuts lived up to the great reviews I’ve seen on here, I had them without cinnamon which they were more than happy to cater for. I will definitely be visiting again. So lovely to see an independent restaurant (not a chain) doing what they should be doing; great food, fab atmosphere, somewhere to visit time and time again.

Delicious food, decorative environment and reasonable prices - something this area really needed.

Had a great meal - calamari, steak and donuts - all perfect, full of flavour and fresh. Makes a welcome change from chain restaurants and service and food reflect this.

I have been to Parlay twice now. First time for drinks. The atmosphere was great. Very welcoming. I had a look into the main restaurant and knew I had to come back and was not disappointed. Food great - every course was amazing! Service was lovely. Such friendly staff! The restaurant has been made upto such a high standard. I will definitely be going back again and again! Highly recommend a visit!

Went with a group of friends. A great atmosphere, amazing cocktails and the best burger I have had in a long time! Support a quality local-owned business and get down there.

I went here with high hopes after reading all of the reviews. Unfortunately, this has to be one of the worst meals I have ever eaten in my life. Such a shame, as the staff seemed so nice, yet it was all extremely amateur. They didn't ask if I needed a drink after I had finished my cocktail, the calamari was clearly microwaved and the steak.. wow. I can only describe it as being boiled and cooked in water and not a grill or pan on high heat. I eat my steak rare, and you expect a nice caramelisation on the outside. It was all wet and inedible, with chunks of raw garlic over it, which I can only think was a marinade. It wasn't cheap either! The same price as lots of other restaurants that can actually cook steak, so a real, expensive disappointment. Unfortunately my friend sent her food back, so I was too embarrassed to do the same, as the owner/waiter looked so ashamed, so I paid £40 for a really terrible meal and one drink. I would never go back and recommend you stay away.

We visited Parlay on a friend's recommendation for lunch. We walked in and originally sat by the bar as we had our 4 month old baby and there was space for the pushchair but the waitress polity asked if we wanted to move to the back where it's warmer for our baby. We ordered 3 courses each plus sides and the price was very reasonable for it's location. I had stuffed portobello mushrooms I couldn't get enough if the sause and halumi salad for main with truffle chips which was delicious. My husband ordered the double 6oz burger for his main with extra onion ring and egg inside. When it came out it was more like two 8oz burgers. It was huge but it dint take long for him to finish it.

Visited this restaurant with a few of my friends for one of their birthdays and we were so impressed! The place is beautifully decorated, smart and classy and a very friendly welcome from the staff as we arrived. We had 3 courses, all of them as delicious as each other, be sure to try the donuts for dessert! Spent the rest of the evening there enjoying the atmosphere and a few glasses of prosecco with my friends. We will all certainly be returning in the near future to try some other options on the menu, so many to choose from!

Exceptional service, phenomenal food and friendly staff that make you feel like you're with your second family. The decor of the establishment is reminiscent of what you would expect to see in the UAE, but without the extravagant prices. Will be definitely recommending Parlay to everyone I know!

When we first arrived we were told to sit at the front of the restaurant where it was too cold as the door kept opening. I asked to be moved and they explained that they had quite a lot of bookings so would try and sit me somewhere else and then two minutes later we were seated at the back. The restaurant was empty! I was here from 7ish-half 9ish and no one else came. Throughout the two and a half hours I was there I had one cocktail as the waiter never asked if we wanted another drink. Bad customer service. The starter was edible I had chicken dippers. THEN FOR THE MAIN!!!! I ordered the cheeseburger which was awful! it turned up and it absolutely stunk of DOG POO. I had to pick up the burger to see if I was smelling correctly and also got my Sister to smell also. I called the only waiter there over and explained that it stunk. There was no apology, it seemed like he knew the food was very poor. He then mumbled something about the bill and said he would get me a new chicken burger. By this point I was disgusted and not hungry anymore. He explained it would be two minutes. It eventually took 20 minutes for my new main to come out after my Sister had already finished. The waiter did not ask how my new food tasted or whether I was satisfied. He then cheekily added this burger to my bill which I had to correct him on and this was then taken off. Will DEFINATELY not be going back and I recommend everyone to stay away if you don't want food poisoning.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday 28th October 2017. Our visit was faultless; very welcoming, efficient and friendly staff, excellent food and drink, trendy decor, great atmosphere and everywhere was lovely and clean. We had the classic and cajun chicken burgers for main, the banoffee cheesecake for dessert with coffee and a bottle of chardonnay. Our experience of this restaurant was superb and we will most definitely be returning very soon.

I went with a friend last week and had an amazing meal. Attentive service, great atmosphere and incredible food. We both went for chicken dishes (the pesto chicken with vegetables and the chicken skewers) and were thrilled with both - the meat was wonderfully marinated, seasoned and cooked brilliantly, and the accompanying veg was the same. Will definitely be back and hope this is a long staying fixture in South Woodford.

This restaurant is fabulous. The minute we walked in we were so warmly welcomed and made to feel we were special. The staff - not just the owners are so friendly - how nice to be served by people who enjoy their work. Food just superb. Fresh and so tasty. Best burger we have had for months. Restaurant filled up at 8pm. Acoustics slightly echoey and could do with some pictures on the walls. Brilliant place and will definitely go back. Very good value too!!
