The best restaurants in Leytonstone Waltham Forest London

We have been to the bookstore a number of times but went for our first supper club burger night Great food big portions and great value! It’s one of our fave places locally for food

Absolutely great and outstanding service , definitely recommend . Fresh food absolutely amazing . I could not be happier with the service and very trustworthy staff . Tremendous social and interactive environment.

This place used to be a very convenient and popular Chinese buffet, with mountains of good food for cheap, before Brexit and Covid forced it to close. Since then, we have seen several incarnations, all carrying the same furniture, lifted from a disused kindergarten by the sight of it. And the sight of it it is, because during daytime this is a dead spot, adding nothing useful to our high street. What it adds is a bunch of uncohering, garish colors, in an awkward bid to replicate the hip bits of Hackney. Geometric wall painting (straight lines in aqua and orange — that was easy, huh?) clashes with "old-school graffiti art" on the board and shutter, about as fancy as sleeping rough by the train tracks. A perfectly nauseating mix with the aforementioned furniture. As for the service, I don't know. I wouldn't want to go in and sit on a kid's chair, and play "assemble your hip food" on an ashtray sized table if they paid me.

My friend younes took us here for breakfast We had a nice panini, cakes and drinks Would recommend

Tex Bites was always the go to spot on a Friday evening or Saturday, Mexicana Burger meal with wings instead of a drink or some tenders on the side. Fast forward to Covid, backyard BBQ teamed up with Tex to perhaps keep Tex afloat. The Mexicana burger is still a goto burger with their crinkle cut fries, but sadly the Backyard BBQ division seems to be lacking and slightly overpriced. Albeit, I only tried Backyard BBQ when they first launched a few years back (I was a bit shocked at the pricing at the time, for a joint that used to be a budget takeaway spot) and returned to try their wings. Sadly, they were very disappointing. 6 backyard wings (basically grilled wings) for £8.50. I’ll get back to the price shortly. 4 out of 6 wings were burnt, not even charred. I’ve included a picture of one of the wings in my review. Since we got takeaway (which we always do) I wasn’t able to check them before I left the shop. Rather disappointing that there’s no quality control, if something is burnt, chuck it and start a fresh. Now for the pricing - Chicken cottage doesn’t even charge that much for their grilled wings. I’d expect at least 8 wings for the price they’re charging. Or jumbo sized wings OR full size wings. Overall, I think the OG Mexicana burger is probably the only good thing that’s on the menu, for the price point at least.

I came here for lunch and as it was a nice day I sat outside. After eight minutes, I still had not received any recognition that I was actually there or a menu, I left. It took me another two minutes to get my coat and my handbag ready, then the waitress turned up as I was literally walking off the premises. She asked if she could help me, I said you should’ve done that 10 minutes ago. Her face then took on the ‘ I’ve just sucked a lemon’

A cozy spot with a warm ambiance, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The Mocha was rich and smooth, and the homemade crisps was delicious. Friendly staff and quick service made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a chill hangout! HMC verified As well. ✅️

This shop is part of the history in Leyton and serves up a good well priced cod and chips. I always purchase the special which comes with two cods for £6. The staff are friendly avoid late evening on Friday as you will be waiting a while . Excellent food

Normally get a takeaway which is always great. Dined in, great food, great service, great everything. Looking forward to going back.

Wanted to come here for a while as love tapas and it was worth it. Ordered a selection of dishes which were all very good and of a good size. Particularly enjoyed the prawns and the meatballs. Only two serving staff that we could see who were both lovely and helpful with what and how much to order. Also ordered a jug of sangria which was very tasty. Only slight let down were the cocktails which were a bit weak Will definitely be returning and recommend to others to try this place soon

solo 3 para una baguette y su buen gusto puede elegir sus rellenos y todo lo que ha estado allí varias veces solo tiene inconveniente, pero vale la pena

Most of the things I asked for on the menu, they didn't have, so ended up with jollof rice and fried plantain - which was ok, nothing special. Gulder was overpriced at £8/bottle and, unfortunately, Id sat in the back section which had an overwhelming smell of bad drains from the toilet - overall, not a great experience.

We love popping in for a cheeky smoothie when the sun is out or a filling lunch after a tough gym session. The outdoor seating is perfect for those warm days and the interior is cosy, inviting, and incredibly stylish. The vibe is warm and welcoming and the staff members always have a smile on their faces. The portions are generous so you will never leave hungry. I highly recommend the vegan bowl for all plant-based eaters — lovely variety of fresh ingredients, and the smoothies are always top notch! Ideal for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy dinner here!
