Squires Cafe & Restaurant, London in Newham

Best place to be ........ excellent staffs good food ....

The food is trash . I would have prefer to order for Mac Donald’s than this nonsense food . I just wasted my money

I enjoyed it sooooooooo much thank Q

Improved food Iyan and obe egusi, with assorted meat.

I'd give zero stars if I could. Abysmal and despicable service. Order arrived over 2 hours later.I called when order wasn't delivered initially and was lied to, that one of the items I ordered was out of stock.When I said I'd just cancel the order,guess what?The out of stock item magically appeared!I was told delivery will be in 10mins, but I waited another hour!Food tasted and looked nothing like it should. Called to complain but got insulted, told off and hung up on. Avoid at all costs!

I can’t even rate this place. Very very very bad customer service. Spoke to a staff to report an issue on their Uber eats page and his responses were very derogatory. Shameful!

I am yet to get my order still waiting

The order i received is not what asked for. I couldn't eat the meal that was sent to me.

Authentic taste, well cooked, quality ingredients

This squires personally is the best in East London the one in Canning town is trash. Abula her is 7.5 I really enjoy it, I would recommend having big pieces of meat rather than having them in small cuts as we are adults eating here not children. Amala Is always so smooth and fresh,plus the service is always a 10/10.

Yet again a typical Nigerian establishment with typical Nigerian service which is not good enough. The restaurant looks run down and no effort seems to have been made to try to modernise it. So sad because the food is relatively ok. This is the East Ham branch.

Delicious but the ayamase isn't that tasty

I have not received the meal....

The "owner" just responded that there is no Sadiq in their East Ham branch. I ordered my food from East Ham branch and NOT canning town branch. Unless your worker gave a fake name. At least you know the number of staff on duty...not many staff for you to check. I just ordered 2 plates of egusi and ogbolo soup. The ogbono was smelling and tasting extremely soured on arrival. I called and spoke to their staff called Sadiq. He was extremely insensitive asking me "what do you want me to do"? The only option is for you to order more food and I will add another soup. Whilst it is not so much about the money, good customer service and being sensitive to the situation could have helped. This staff Saddiq showed no ounze of sensitivity. Perhaps Squires restaurant can send him on training on customer service

Food was freshly made, hot on arrival and good size portions, tasty food.

Where is my food. didnt recieve it.

Delicious meal superb customer service from Seyi!

Amazing food. Tried the Abula and it was so good I went back the next week. This is before considering the value for money. You almost get too much food for what you pay, though I'm not complaining

Despite order being late (must be traffic as well as restaurant opening times), the food was exceptional. I will absolutely order again and would highly recommend.

Excellent delivery and beautiful cooked food that left me wanting more. Thank you 😊

the food is lovely and fresh , thank you

Order was placed by 7:10pm and delivered by 9pm . Almost two hours of waiting . Unacceptable.

I never got my order, yet it’s showing delivered. The restaurants number is also to a wrong branch.

the food was lovely jellof rice plantain and moi moi delicious , but peace of beef meat from assorted not good at all, too hard, and chewy had to give it to the dog.

I was not impressed with the food

I still haven’t received my food.

Personal experience has been 8.5 out of 10. I have been eating there for a few years now and they havent let me down. Always well packed and when i eat in, its a vibe. Since nothing is perfect, hence the 8.5. I definitely recommend especially to those who miss yoruba home cooking...and those who dare add flavour to their lives.

The dishes I ordered were completely drenched in oil and had no flavour what so ever, there has been a really big decline in this food and the service. I will not be ordering again.

Ordered on Uber eats several times, while their food tastes good, the quality of meat they use just gets worse and worse with every order. Infact they hardly put any meat in my stew/soups, only sheepbelly & cowfoot. I have stopped ordering from them because with no real meat there is no nutritional value in the food whatsoever.

The driver did not find the reception despite clear instructions which I showed him on the receipt. He apologized but I had to stand in the cold for a long time to get the food. The food was bland, tasteless. Some chunks of yam were not cooked and there was just one miserable piece of meat in the pack of expensive asaro. Will not buy from the store again am afraid.

I made a visit to the try the food at the Barking Road branch with a friend of mine. I had the Okro-Ogbono soup with beef and pounded yam. The other options were assorted meats (including shaki/tripe) and fish however, the beef option was plenty enough for me. The food is warm, flavourful and has a perfect amount of spice. It was perfect for my taste palette as I enjoy spicy food. The staff explained the meat and fish options to me clearly and were friendly to us. I recommend you to have a try if you're ever near Canning Town in East London! PS. We had a conversation with a lady whilst waiting for our meal and she clarified to me that Nigerian people eat there regularly so thats how you know its lit.

Costumer service is so poor , called to know if my order was on the way because it was late and he kissed his teeth and cut the phone. It was packaged poorly and food was all sweaty. The Suya was so chewy and hard, the stew is so watery and the puff puff was soooo oily the bag was drenched the only thing I would recommend is the jollof. £30 down the drain wouldn’t recommend or Order again.

What is it with these guys and not picking up their phone!?

I still have not got my food I've called but no answer

My food came 2 hours late which I’m not happy about. Theres no meat with my jollof rice

Food is yet to arrive. It was scheduled for 18:50 latest delivery. It is now 19:57 Attempted to call restaurant several times no answer. Please can I get refund ?

Terrible food ... Very small portion.... Wouldn't recommend

Worst place you can ever buy from!! They didn't send me my correct order and when I called them about it they put the phone down on me, I called back and they wouldn't answer. I will report you!!!!

This place is honestly the worst Nigerian food I have ever tried! (Canning town branch not barking road). Firstly the food is bland as hell… almost like they forgot to season it (both red stew and ayamase) … the meat is either dry or just fat and gristle… the rice wayyy over cooked, any softer and it would be baby food! The jollof was burnt! The whole thing had that burnt flavour…. The asun… all bone. The only edible bit was the egg and plantain that came with the rice. Never eating here again!! If you like Nigerian food, I suggest you don’t either! Absolute joke that they claim to be cooking authentic Nigerian cuisine. Even my 12 year old Nigerian daughter can cook better food than this!

Correct Naija feel....food was great in Barking road! Ambience just right.... Ah, that asun and suya was da bomb! The plan was to pack up the second Abula, but it didn't last another minute😜

First time buying beef egusi and fufu, saw on social media it was really tasty gave it a try, it looked and tasted like old meat, althouh the sauces and juices were great, i think it would taste way better if it were to be cooked fresh out of the pot, but every coin has another side, likewise a resturant that is getting little customers must need to retain dishes to save money, but i believe they can do much better, maybe have more marketing methods, advertise your food on media, entise and persuade customers that you are truely the best african cuisine out in East Ham, try methods like facebook, instagram and tiktok. At the heart of every business and life source to a healthy business are their customers, thats all I have to say, hats off to you guys trying ur best and God be with you brother

It’s unfair to give a poor food to a customer after I have done my part by paying for the requested price … why will pour the stew on my rice soaked and watery ….Terrible

I did not receive my order and they did not pick there phone even tho it was ringing for 4 hours and I was hungry and they did not call or nothing it very bad and I don’t think I will recommend them ever again.

Good service, great portion and taste

No I dont receive food and delivery. Why? Because I am deaf. I don’t understand that please back my money £28.50.

Review for the Canning Town branch . I ordered through Uber eats . Egusi never came although I paid for it . Jollof rice made with long grain rice and burnt . It was disgusting , the efo had a weird smell. This was such a awful order to the point where I drove myself to the branch to complain in person . You wouldn’t eat this yourself or your family then why sell such nasty food .

Party of 5 and at least 3 of us got really bad food poisoning. As we were eating my friend said their food was turning and we all found out the hard way the next day. Will never return

Still haven’t got the food yet. I put a call through no one is picking up

Ordered a meal and was told the cost only to realise that I was charged 10 pounds extra. I have been contacting the restaurant over a week and no response. I will update with outcome.

The egg was rotten and the beef was still pink

The asaro was dry and the stew too. Would have been better if the stew was fresh

Not happy with their service and never going to order from Squires again. My order arrived very late and I tried calling several times but it keep going to voicemail

I would not, spend, £29.50 on a meal.

Excellent food. Only issue was delivery due to traffic issues.

Everything was cold, the puff puff was burnt, the curry had a bitter taste overpowered by salt, the pounded yam was too doughy and sticky as well as being comd

The food was sour,bland,tasteless and watery no gbegiri. How do you take such money and deliver nothing.

Haven’t recieved an order which I made over 2hrs now, I am about leaving the hotel now, I have rang the restaurant several times but no one is picking up. This is an order that cost me about £70, I’m so disappointed at this service.

I paid for pounded yam (fresh yam) and got non fresh yam

I ordered amala with assorted meat, and you sent efo riro

The food didn’t arrive, plus the restaurant doesn’t answer the phone.. wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, however the same name restaurant in another location is professional never had a problem.. I wouldn’t give this restaurant a single star, but in order to submit I have to

Over 1hr late.. Very dissapponting

The food is amazing and the service is very good. They did an amazing job serving us, very nice people. Thank you.

Food was meant to arrive at 6:20pm and it is now 7:20pm. I called the restaurant and expressed how unhappy I am at 6:50pm and they said the driver just left. At 7:15pm I got my son to ask them where the food is and they said the driver had just left which means they lied to me earlier. I explained to them that they lied to me previously and how the wait is not fair and the staff laughed at me on the phone.

I will never order from this place again order my food at 16:32 it was meant to be delivered between 17:35-17:55 I didn’t get my food till 19:47 and when called the restaurant I was spoke to like I’m begging them to give me a free meal, what a joke of a place if you can’t run a restaurant why open it smh

I waited for hours never to receive my order! I am very disappointed and will never order from this restaurant again!

I am a proud Caucasian Egusi Connoisseur. By far the best Nigerian dishes I've had in London. I've been coming here for 10 years now and the quality has remained the same. Top notch! No compromise. Thank you Squires!

The worst restaurant in london it took 3hrs 30 min to deliver food very bad staff

Food came over an hour late, very cold! 1 hour and 45 minutes. Ordered at 19.57 and came at 21.45

The food tasted bitter and stale.

Order just arrived at 9:17. Latest expected delivery time was 19:50. Food is now cold and stale. Drink is now lukewarm.

The one of the meals that I bought tasted spoiled. Which is the Asun, even right after I opened the bowl it smelt sour But the pepper soup was alright The delivery took forever and the driver was unprofessional.

Despite the exceptionally long wait, which in fairness to them, was caused by lack of drivers. Most disappointing was the food. It lacked flavour. For the amount spent on the fish, it was tasteless and still had scales all over it. Not a fan

I waited over 3 hours for this food and when requested some money back for the delay I was told no! Horrible

Restaurant lied that they gave food since 12. Driver said they gave it to him 10 minutes ago, that he has no reason to stay in any traffic for 2 hours to deliver the food. The food was very warm on delivery, could not have been in a car for 4 hours. Very poor communication.

For how much I paid for it food was bed no Flavor in rice or beef. beef was Tough I can't even ate it food was cold on top of it. I would not Order from here again.

This restaursnt should be taken off just eat. They never delivered on time and they even delivered to wrong address. This is fraudulent. Our food was never delivered

Used Uber to deliver my food, took ages to arrive

The tozo was very hard and chewy. Won't be ordering that again. The peppersoup was good as usual

The food never came!!! They called to say they will cancel as they didn’t have a driver and then they made out that they delivered the food? I paid £9 for delivery and they never even delivered the food!!! I have evidence as they called me twice to say they’re not sending the food!!! I want a FULL REFUND INCLUDING DELIVERY AS THEY DIDNT EVEN ATTEMPT TO DELIVER THE FOOD!

This order was never delivered

Not professional will never order again

Food was good cant complain. Only issue is that the restaurant accepted deliveries only to inform me 50 mins later that they had no one to deliver it. Instead of giving a refund they put my food in the back of a regular Uber and had it delivered that way. I was then being told to be grateful.

Food was never delivered. The restaurant called to shout at us for supposedly not opening the door. Recommend not ordering from this location again ever.

The food is disgusting, on the Abula was hardly meat on it and they call it assorted few abodi with sand on it and few shaki! And I also order Moi moi which is very disgusting very uncook. I will not buy from this place again. Guys be careful with this place.

Call the restaurant it was someone’s mobile phone it wasn’t even a proper land line and although that wouldn’t have been the problem the one who answered was so rude and when the food came it just look wrong no care had been taken to deliver it properly I will never order from these guys again and I won’t be recommending them this is sad no wonder black own restaurant always go under. They don’t care about their customers

The delivery fee is too high. £8 That has put me off from ordering again

It has not been delivered We want a refund and an investigation into this

Waited for almost 2 hours, and then the food arrived poorly kept. My peppered was all over my meal. Called them but nothing. I have complained anyways

It was a bumpy ride but a happy ending. The restaurant really made an effort to make up for my order being very much delayed. I had some Eba, the mix Okro with assorted was delicious and came in with an extra portion to accommodate me. There was even some tasty meat pies which were added as complimentary. I will be happy to give them another try.

DONT WANNA SPEAK TOO MUCH I NEED MY REFUND NEVER GONNA ODER FROM THEM ... THANKS

Great fresh food and I’m glad I have this restaurant another chance.

You lot are bs wasted my time I could have collected it and finished eating by now

It's been almost an hour later than I was told to expect my food and it still hasn't arrived, yet you want a review?🤔

The food is always so delicious and the portions are great. Thank you!

Quick and efficient service. The staffs are friendly and ready to help

This is the most disgusting restaurant the service diabolical and the employees are inpatient in giving a good service.. they took my money 20 pounds of my money and never delivered my food or gave me a refund... And then said I should pay to get my food delivered again .. .. absolutely not

Unhelpful staff food was over and hour late

The food was disgusting never again no flavour the meat was fatty

Not bad place. The service was good but not fantastic.

Almost 2 hours and still hasn’t got my food
