I ordered lamb chops, barbecue chicken wings, and fries through Uber delivery. The price seemed reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly, which was a highlight. The flavors were different from what I was expecting, but they were well-seasoned with a balance of spice, sweetness and enjoyable in their own way. Overall, a satisfying experience!

Thank you, Sheikh. My 5 stars are for you, sir. I've been here about 4 or 5 times recently and each time, Sheikh's service has been literally above and beyond. Thank you for making such an effort to make our experience amazing. Sheikh gives his all every single time and I am very grateful for his hard work. Thank you again Sheikh and the whole Mile End crew!

Brilliant service from Hassan very friendly and hospitality was great enjoyed my visit

I recently visited this café with a group of colleagues and left feeling quite underwhelmed. First off, note that they don’t accept card payments – it’s cash or bank transfer only, which was inconvenient in this day and age. Most of my colleagues ordered the halal breakfast, and while they all seemed to enjoy it, I was only in the mood for a light snack. I opted for cheese on toast with a Diet Coke. Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down, the experience was less than hospitable. The waitress had more of a matriarchal demeanor, briskly telling us to “wait at your table, and I will serve you,” without any real warmth or courtesy. When my food arrived, I was served four small triangles of toast with a very stingy amount of cheese – barely enough to cover the toast. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a cheese shortage! Still, I decided not to complain and just started eating. After finishing one slice, I realized my drink hadn’t arrived. I went up to the counter to ask for it, only to be told, “Oh, it’s in the fridge,” as if I was supposed to know this on my own. At this point, the service was already leaving much to be desired, but I powered through. To top it all off, when I went to pay, I was stunned to be charged £6.45 – for two very basic slices of toast with barely-there cheese and a £1.80 “Diet Coke” (which turned out to be a Salaam Cola instead). Considering the quality of the food, the lack of service, and the overall experience, this was shocking. Needless to say, I won’t be returning, and I certainly won’t be recommending this place to others. £6.45 for what I got was nothing short of daylight robbery.

Taste was okay but the portion size was too small to satisfy even a light appetite , salad was overly sour. Overall it was a disappointing experience as we spent a lot but still came home hungry
