Wah Bey in Redbridge

We booked Wah Bey for iftaar and were told when pre-booking that we could place our food order in advance so it would be ready on time. Since we were running a bit late, this seemed perfect. But when I called to give our order, I was told that wasn’t possible and was reassured that they’d have dates, water, and pakoras ready for us to open our fast. There were nine of us fasting, and when we arrived, the staff were friendly (though it was just one person was serving everyone). But we never got the pakoras or dates, and the water they gave us was charged at £2-£3 a bottle. The samosa chaat was really good but the main platter itself wasn’t great. Some of it was undercooked, and unfortunately all of us ended up with bad stomachs afterward. We ordered Gaajar Halwa for my friend’s birthday because they ran out of cake. The Halwa was oily and only 2 spoons were taken from it. Wouldn’t come back unfortunately. Food was on point when I came 2/3 years ago :(

I can’t recommend Wah Bey enough, not only for its delicious food but for the exceptional service provided by Talha. My friends and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels special thanks to him. Talha greets us warmly with a smile that makes us feel like valued guests. His attention to detail and genuine kindness stand out every time. The service he provides is impeccable—attentive, efficient, and always delivered with charm. It’s rare to find someone who takes so much pride in ensuring guests have a memorable experience. The food at Wah Bey is consistently fantastic, but Talha truly elevates the overall dining experience. He’s a gem of a host, and we’re so grateful for his wonderful hospitality. A big thank you to Talha and the entire team at Wah Bey!

We went out for a family meal. Staff who took the order got one item wrong & instead of getting it right, argue that she repeated the order at the end.. Taste is good. The place is nice & clean. Parking is a challenge.

Good prices and nice Tawa grill. If the meat was a bit more flavourful it would have been 5*. Asides that great service and plenty of seating won’t be an issue the restaurant is huge with seating available downstairs too. They have clean toilet facilities. Also a prayer room for both men and women. Great place.

A couple of weeks ago I celebrated my nephew birthday at Wah Bey. The food was excellent and the service was ce from the staff was excellent. They were friendly and hard working, going well beyond the required service to ensure my nephew birthday celebrations were great.

Good food. A bit expensive. Cold due to the back door remaining open for delivery drivers. Staff were ok. Seemed like they didn't have much to do, so kept asking if we were ok.

Went on first evening of Ramadan so was really quiet. Though was pleasantly surprised by the tasty curries with distinct flavours each there own. The Vegetarian samosas were a little dry, also the rice could have been fresher, but good portion sizes and not afraid to add some spice to their dishes.

Came here around 7ish and wasn't very busy food came really quickly and hot great taste was very fresh and staff were very kind and helpful they even gave us complimentary desert! Would 100% recommend if in London +halal

The food was lovely but not very spicy, and came out quickly. The restaurant is located a few minutes from Gants Hill tube station and is nice and modern inside. The staff were very attentive and the manager was absolutely lovely giving it a personal touch.

I had my daughter's first birthday party here. They did an amazing menu for us, great food, gave us a large portion of the main venue, recommended great décor, and provided us with amazing service!!! Talha and his team were fantastic and very respectable!! I would highly recommend trying this restaurant with family and friends.

Nice food, great customer service by all staff especially anjali, thank you

The finest ingredients are used to create the tastiest authentic dishes. I highly recommend the junglee pilau!

The food is very tasty and delicious. Well worth trying. I have eaten in once and it was really busy, hence i have started getting their takeaway on uber eats, they have good offers and they package their food really well.

Great first visit to Wah Bey, with delicious food and excellent service from Anjali, who made the experience memorable. Highly recommend!

Good taste and lamb kadai was excellent 👍

Top notch food and great service but Biryani could have been better...

Food is really good here especially the curries but the best one so far is the butter chicken, it’s a must try as the chef Jaffa is consistent every time I’ve ordered. Customer service is really great and shout out to Talha with his hospitality also 👍🏼

very very cold inside the restaurant and very rubbish

Not impressed, I ordered 3 rolls and they all came with overcooked naan and no salad in either of the rolls. Won’t be ordering from here again

Lovely place to dine with family. Waitresses were very attentive and great value for money. Lamb Karachi was particularly good

I hosted my sister's gender reveal on 21st Dec upstairs in Wah Bey restaurant. The event went amazingly, Anandhu was brilliant. He kept me informed every step of the way, during the planning and on the day itself. During the planning we wanted to tweak the menu slightly to cater our guests and he was more then accommodating with this request. During the day himself and his staff were spectacular, they were super attentive to our guests, made sure there was food and drinks always on the table, and we're on top of cleaning the tables when needed. We even wanted to move the tables at one point and they were happy to do this and quickly got on the case. Anandhu was always checking with me making sure everything was going well and checking timings with me to make sure the food was served when I wanted it to be. The food was very delicious, large portions and full of flavour. We requested the food not be spicy to accommodate the kids coming to the event and the chefs didn't disappoint, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and there was plenty to take away. Would 100% recommend doing an event here or just bringing the family for a hearty meal. Big shout out to the team: Anandhu, Thalha, Abdul, Afaq, Samriti, Anju Thank you for the amazing service. :)

We went there on our anniversary. We had a chef's special platter which was amazing and was perfect to serve 3 people and for two like us it was more than enough. Lovely, warm, fresh food as we expected. It was amazingly delicious, we really enjoyed and had a great time there, ambience was good and calming. Staff was really polite, nice and coperative. Thanks wah bey for making our day special. Just a suggestion if you would do 3 nans instead of two that would be amazing.

I remember visiting here last year and I remembered how poor the service was and the food was equally bad. I went again with colleagues after hearing some good reviews from them, thinking that Wah Bey has changed. I thought wrong. As other customers have mentioned, they tend to dump all the grilled dish on one plate (even though we ordered separately), so it became our duty to find out what's what and split it amongst eachother. The food was delivered far too quickly, meaning now of this was actually fresh. The meat dishes itself was already cooked and all they did was just dump the sauce. Honestly, this is an insult to South Asian cuisine, in taste, quality and service. But I guess the unwarranted popularity gives them false sense of confidence. Just because there are many reviews, doesn't necessarily mean it would be good. If you're after authentic South Asian food, avoid - better off further East London than this.

My children had some lamb and all what happend was they where crying because of how spicy it was we told them not to make it spicy but they did not clearly

Lamb Karahi is amazing, freshly cooked and ask them to cook in Olive Oil, that option costs £4 extra but worth it. Another good thing was Pink Chai

Food here was average, but very unnecessarily spicy across most plates, to the point where we couldn’t enjoy the flavour. Service was okay and decor was quite nice.

Absolutely brilliant!! Food was amazing, staff were fantastic and an absolutely beautiful private area to have your intimate celebration’s!! We celebrated my sister’s 50th birthday here after our original restaurant cancelled on us only 2 days prior to our event! Luckily Wah-bey’s private area in the basement was available and my oh my! We were extremely pleasantly surprised!! The area was just perfect, beautiful ambiance, lift access to the basement, food was outstanding and staff were absolutely brilliant! It truly was a blessing in disguise that the other restaurant cancelled on us because we had the BEST time at Wah-bey!! Thank you!

We visited Wah Bey for the 2nd time and the food was amazing. We ordered the Tawa grill which was more than enough for 5-6 people, and contained a variety of food. The Lamb Gosht however was the best! The atmosphere was great, and our server Talha was extremely nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend as a family outing.

Had birthday party in private dinning room located below main restaurant. Was nicely clean, enuf space for dining/dancing and relaxing. Management & Staff has great accommodated us brilliantly!!! When the food arrived looked fresh and tasted the best…. Start to end fantastic evening. Definitely recommend!!

Ordered on Uber eats for the first time tonight. Food is banging! Freshest ingredients you can tell these people have a passion for cooking. The food melts in your mouth. Never had rice so tasty ever. Everything was lovely. Will definitely be reordering from here.

A cosy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed dining experience with pleasant background music. The service is good, with friendly and attentive staff. The curries were rich and satisfying, with a good balance of spices. The portions were generous and tasty. Best restaurant around Gants Hill and we will visit it again.

Nice to here dinner kheer was yummy

Good food, the mix meat platter is well worth the wait.

Great starters Desserts amazing Very nice naans Service 5* Great ambience Very expensive/fab interior Main course curries can be improved ..

1st time been there great food great service Wi go there again 🙄

Food was great and the place was very clean and the service was great.Want to give appreciation to the people who served me Anjali and Abdul and the manager Thalha

Very nice and clean restaurant. The food was authentic pakistani and very tasty. The service was impeccable and very attentive. I would highly recommend the place and say they carry on doing what they are doing..its working!

Recently Used venue for a Birthday surprise for relative, Talah the manger was excellent as well as Samiriti the waitress. They provided excellent customer service and were very welcoming, allowed us to decorate the venue how we wanted it. They very hospitable, The food was served on time when requested, and food was delicious and at the venue was and private rooms Downstairs were fantastic. Definitely worth it. Must try.

Visited as part of a private family booking. Food was faultless mashallah 🤩 Service could be improved. After finishing each course, the next course took about 20 minutes to come out so things could have been a bit quicker. Thank you, I will return inshallah

Nice decor, tasty food but service was not upto the expectation set as you walk into the rather funky restaurant. We attended a wedding dinner and the restaurant was notified a week in advance that there would be a vegan diet in our party. Clearly, the concept wasn't understood by anyone, from the manager to the waiting staff nor infact the chefs!! The options served had yogurt and when we pointed out that wasn't vegan we were sent sizzling paneer!! Makes me wonder if any allergen training has even taken place, though this is a lifestyle choice the lack of knowledge in the kitchen is a huge concern and I speak as a professional in the catering industry. Gone are the days where desi kitchens aren't up to scratch on dietary requirements and training.

Honest opinion, the food here is ok but there are better options around for Indian/asian food in Gants Hill. This shop was too pricey for the type of food it served. The atmosphere here is still nice.

I ordered on ubereats, I like the way the staff member handled my concern. He was very generous. Thank you for your service. I loved it❤️

Excellent service by Anandu, we were well looked after. Achari chicken was an amazing dish to try. Gajar halwa was yumm too.

Good food staff patient they didn't rush

The food was very nice and tasty i celebrated my birthday yesterday there staff was very nice specialy pooja served us very well.

Nice clean restaurant. Great staff good food. Prices are little high

Nice food and service a little on the pricey side. Was extremely quiet which made it a little awkward, was

We had an amazing event at Wah Bey. The staff were very helpful throughout, even helping us change the layout of the restaurant according to our requirements. Talha was in constant communication woth us leading up to the event. Abdul Rehman helped us prepare for the even the night before and he stayed back until 2am to help us change the layout. On the day Talha, Afaq, Abdul Rehman, Samriti and Pooja all helped us have a great time. They served a group of nearly 80 people without anyone having any complaints. The food was amazing. The mixed grill was really tasty, with the meat being soft, juicy and melted in the mouth. The chaat was really amazing, a mixture of tangy, sweet and sour flavours set thebsenses running. In the mains, the chicken karahi was really really tasty and had an amazing flavour. The chiken biryani was also amazing. Thelamb karahi also tasted fantastic. They also made chicken nuggets and chips for the children. The day was fabulous not only because of the tasty food, but the helpful and generous staff at Wah Bey. They have an amazing team that made our event amazing and a lasting memmory for us.

Great tasty food and loving the decor!! Well done guys! Thank you

Delicious food. Namaz/prayer facility. Fresh food. Too busy enjoying the food so forgot to take more pics. Garlic naan and specially sesame naan was good.

One of the best places I've been to

Amazing service and food, always a pleasure coming here. The service from all the staff was exceptional. A special thanks to Talha who was easy to talk to, very accommodating and always attentive - who ensured the evening ran smoothly, whilst maintaining a professional service the entire time. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Really enjoyed my meal here. The chef has changed and the dishes he made were all delicious. Service was good and Abdul was very attentive. Highly recommend

We booked for 17 people, including children, and were very pleased with the setup downstairs. Everything went smoothly, and Talha at reception was very polite. Special thanks to Samriti, Afaq, and Puja for their excellent service with drinks and food

Food was good but there was too much SALT in Butter chicken. It tasted bitter

Stunning experience. We arrived late to the restaurant but Talha welcomed us and took our order. Also didn’t deny for any food items. Usman also prepared the food quickly and tasteful. Loved the taste and service

Had a wonderful experience. Tasty food and amazing environment. Talha who took our order was welcoming and friendly. Usman who made food. Both were so helping and served us even though we were late.

Been with six of my best friends. The food was great and tasty. Taha was a lovely host

Food was good and service was sooo great. Talha was helpful while ordering the food. He also made sure we know all the food available. Usman who is the chef made the food so delicious

Food and service was great. Talha was so attentive who took our order. Usman prepared the food quickly and tasty

Amazing service provided by Talha. The dishes ordered were fantastic.

Wah bey blue drink was too good, food and service is also very nice

Lovely food, new items on menu are really nice, service from Pooja was great.

Went with with family. Had an amazing experience. Food tasted great with great service. Definitely will be visiting again.

The food was Very tasty , the drinks amazing we had raspberry mojitos so yummy 😋 we really enjoyed it , it s my second time and never disappointed al hamdolilah, will go again and again

Very relaxed and comfortable environment.

I went to Wah Bey recently as I had heard good things. The deco is modern and clean. Service was good if a bit slow. They have an expansive list of appetisers and mains. I went with grilled wings and chicken tikka which were good. Mains included a selection of curries, the best of which being the keema special. The butter chicken was also very good. I would recommend and visit again though note parking an issue. Nb. Possibly has the best karak chai in east London!

I had a really good experience, the food was amazing and the staff were extremely helpful, especially Talha who helped us the whole evening!

Lovely venue and food was nice, service was good and enjoyed myself.

Puja provided us with great customer service! Super friendly, helpful and fast! 10/10 service

Very good food and well priced, especially considering food, service and atmosphere. My waiter was Talha and he looked after me and my family well.

Worst experience ever in London. Service is poorest one ,staff is talking in corners nothing worrying about if customer need something or not.Portions are ridiculously small. I ordered some food 2nd time but morphology and taste are totally different like made by untrained chef. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Avoid like the plague. I don't normally put reviews on when it's bad. But this service was absolutely ridiculous, waited over 1 hour and the food still didn't come out. To the point I had to cancel ot and walk out. Paid for a platter which came. It cost 20 and it was not enough for 2 people. Will not be recommending or going there.

We booked the restaurant for Sunday lunchtime for a party of 35 people, a group of teachers from a local weekend Islamic School. The booking process was simple. The service was exceptional and food was a hit for everyone. Great portions, well cooked, great flavours. Talha managed our group and was very friendly and professional, great customer service and certainly looked after us. Pooja was very attentive and provided great service to us. Well done Wah Bey and for sure we will back for future bookings.

Highly recommended Andy thalha big support

Hygiene is not good their plates r dirty I been there with my sister I asked for twice for clean plates and the manager sat with an attitude they didn’t like it but if u pay somewhere u deserve respect and clean plates for food I avoid this place after there r so many good places in ilford to eat

We came to this restaurant for lunch and we had very good service from Andy and thalla pooja and Samriti was awesome all over the food and service 10/10

We had a party here In wahbey IT was very good experience and i have To mention the Service from Andy was brilliant and the food was soo tasty highly recomended

Wah Bey is an absolute gem for Pakistani cuisine! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Talha, in particular, went above and beyond to make our visit special with his exceptional hospitality. The ambience is cozy and inviting, perfect for any occasion. The food is the real star here. The chicken pakora and chicken lollipop were crispy and bursting with flavor. The Dum biriyani was a flavor explosion, with aromatic spices and perfectly cooked rice. Overall, Wah Bey is a must-visit for delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Wah Bey is the perfect spot for a get-together with friends and family! The ambience is warm and inviting, ideal for any occasion. Though listed as Pakistani cuisine, it satisfies cravings for Indian flavors too. The murgh malai tikka was tender and creamy, the chicken lollipop crispy and flavorful, and the chicken dum biriyani a fragrant delight. Don’t miss the kheer for dessert – it’s the perfect sweet ending. The hospitality here is outstanding, with all the staff, especially Talha, providing top-notch service. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

Anandhu and talha with the team did a fantastic job every time we came to the restaurant... Bless you all We will come gain and again Thank you

Very good food. Our server disha was super nice.

Excellent staff, especially Talha who accommodated to all our needs. Good food, nice place. Would recommend:)

Good food very nice well done ✅ papari chat osm

Absolutely fantastic experience at Wah Bey! The food was mouthwatering, especially the biryani and kebabs. Special thanks to Puja for her exceptional service and warm hospitality. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience! 🌟

Excellent service by Pooja I highly recommend people to visit wah bey Cranbrook

Had a lovely time Puja was highly respectful and responsive with the service I ordered a Chef special but in mistake they gave me a TAWA grill which was unexpected best service ever.

Enjoyed my time. Food was fantastic, will recommend there masala fried fish and dahi bhalay. It tasted like back home! 5 star experience

Food was fantastic, have gone there with friends everybody liked there fast food items, winner for me was chicken tikka and papri chat

Worst service and behavior from the staff. Particularly the manager was very very rude. When I asked his name, he didn't even tell me his name. Very unprofessional staff, no uniform no name plate for the manager. Very very disappointed with him. Disgusting service. I am giving 1 star because there is no option below that.

Expensive restaurants for party extra, atmosphere is to good service is good. Foodie people can enjoy real taste of biryani spl Indians

Best cuisine ever if 10/10 was heveanly food this place would be 9.9 literally the best food ever. Puja and Tahli provided great service

We ordered the mixed grill and the butter chicken curry, everything was delicious. The service also was amazing would recommend for people to visit! ALKA was our lovely waitress who took care of us and made sure everything was good !

Pooja and talha service was very very good .

Pooja and Talha were lovely and food was great!

best birthday celebration perfect taste excelent service

Absolutely disgusting and worst food I ever had. We ordered Murg malai tikka in starter which was just chicken roasted with salt only 4 small pieces. No taste at all. We were thinking of leaving but then thought let give them one more chance. So we ordered butter chicken, Oh my god I was literally about to vommit after having first bite. It tastes like chicken marinated with turmeric and salt. And that's it. There wasn't even butter on top neither we tasted in gravy. VERY VERY VERY VERY DISGUSTING FOOD. I called the girl on counter, she said she will speak to chef, and she never returned to us. After sometime when I asked her what happened, she said chef will try to make good next time. I mean seriously? Is this the explanation? Even someone new to cooking they can make good food. Chef really need to change his career. First of all the girl didn't even offer the water bottle, had to ask 2 times. She was very busy having fun with delivery boys. *For the owner - Don't just reply to the reviews, You really need to improve your quality, Or just shut down this rubbish restaurant. ***Paid £23 for the worst food I ever had. I don't know why they have 4 reviews. They must have paid for these reviews. Not worth even 1 review

Had a great service and food. I had booked table for 40 people on son’s first birthday. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Highly recommended for small family gathering and functions.

Lovely decor and great food. Tried the dum chicken biryani, it was really fluffy and well cooked however portion sizes are ridiculously small so make sure you order a few dishes. Overall service, decor, food was good.

We came here on Eid day , family abd extended family , 10 of us , the food was very good quality . We had two platters , mixed grill with nans , several virgin cocktails and salty lassi. Everyone enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. Would recommend.
