This is one of my articles on my series of ‘Restaurant Reviews’. In this series, I review some of the restaurants, takeaways and food chains, either from UberEats or I go to the actual place.

On Friday 26th February 2021, my sister and I ordered from Al Haqs through UberEats. We ordered an array of foods. Was it worth the money?

What is Al Haqs?

Al Haqs is an Indian family restaurant in Walthamstow. It sells foods such as doners, kebabs and wraps.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• Firstly, we ordered two ‘mixed doners’, one each for my sister and me.
• We selected all the sauces: mayo, garlic sauce, mint sauce, ketchup and chilli sauce. 
• They were normal doners but it was a bit spicy and the sauces made the doner taste different. I really enjoyed eating it and there was more than enough food for me on the plate.
• My sister quoted it as ‘delicious, fresh and succulent.’

The Service:

UberEats took about 30-45 minutes to deliver the food to our house. This was an average amount of time to arrive. 

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend this place as the doners were different from the classic doner and I loved the sauces. 

My Rating: 3.9/5

On Sunday 21st February 2020, my sister and I ordered from Villa Lebanese through UberEats. We ordered an array of foods. Was it worth the money?

What is Villa Lebanese?

Villa Lebaneseis a Lebanese restaurant in Walthamstow. It sells foods such as shawarma, wraps and more.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• Firstly, I ordered a ‘Mixed Shawarma Platter.’ I chose a side of ‘Tabbouleh’, free of charge. I really loved the plating of this – it was like a school lunchbox as shown in the photo above. This was absolutely delicious! The shawarma (chicken and lamb) was nice and warm (quite oily though), the tabbouleh was so unique and tasty and the houmous was very creamy. This is a must try!
• My sister ordered a ‘Mixed Shawarma’. This contained shawarma (chicken and lamb), chips and a normal salad. My sister quoted it as ‘healthy and fresh’. The salad, according to her, was very different and altogether, it was a 4.5/5.
• With a 25% off discount and including the delivery and service fee, the total came to £20.90.

The Service:

UberEats took about 30-45 minutes to deliver the food to our house. This was an average amount of time to arrive. 

Would I Recommend It?

I would highly recommend this place as the shawarma was very different, and the tabbouleh and hummus for me was very good. If you don’t like oily food, then don’t try the shawarma and it was a bit pricey but I would still recommend it.

My Rating: 4.2/5

On Saturday 13th February 2020, my sister and I ordered from Maxi Grill Walthamstow through UberEats. We ordered an array of foods. Was it worth the money?

What is Maxi Grill Walthamstow?

Maxi Grill Walthamstow is a fast food restaurant in Walthamstow. It sells foods such as burgers, chicken, wings, and pizzas.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• Firstly, I ordered a ‘Combinado Peri Peri Burger Meal.’ This burger has peri peri chicken fillet, peri peri lam patty, and 2 slice cheese with a can of drink and chips. There was a wide selection to make your one personalised burger so I got a burger with ‘sweetcorn salad’ and ‘black olives salad’, ‘burger sauce’ and the spice level was Hot. This burger was one of the best burgers I had as it had a burst of flavour and the spice kicked in.
• My sister ordered a ‘Combinado Burger Meal’ too. She chose to have a burger with ‘jalapeno pepper salad’ and ‘fresh tomato salad’, ‘burger sauce’ and the spice level was Hot. My sister quoted this burger to be ‘juicy, spicy and unique’. 
• We also ordered ‘6 Hot and Spicy Wings’ which were normal but had quite a spice in it.
• We also ordered ‘Half Peri Peri Chicken Meal’. I found the grilled chicken to be pretty good.
• With a 50% off discount and including the delivery and service fee, the total came to £19.87.

The Service:

UberEats took about 30-45 minutes to deliver the food to our house. This was an average amount of time to arrive. 

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend this place as the burgers were quite unique. If you are not very spice tolerant, then I would not recommend taking Hot, ensure to take mild.

My Rating: 3.9/5

Bubble tea… a drink popular all over the world and yet not talked about very often. I and my sister decided in April 2019, to go and try our very first bubble tea in Bubbleology. This is a small but very well-known shop with branches all over the UK. But, was my first bubble tea worth it?

What is Bubbleology?

Bubbleology is a franchise that sells bubble tea, waffles, other drinks and more. I went to the small shop in Westfield Stratford with my sister.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• We got the passion fruit and cucumber bubble tea with tapioca. I also remember getting the Bobatella when I went with my friend once.
• Both drinks were really good and quite refreshing but I would recommend not getting the tapioca.
• The cost was around £2-£4 each. 

The Service:

The staff were quite friendly but you may have to wait a long time in the queue and you may have to speak up a bit if it is very noisy,

The Place:

The day we went, I remember it being very crowded both times. I wish the shop was bigger and had more space, but it was okay. Especially near summer, you do have to wait quite a long time in the queue to get your drinks.The place was pretty clean with nice colours and decor. However, it was quite small and very crowded.

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend this place because overall, the drinks are quite refreshing. The prices were reasonable. It was also quite a new experience.

My Rating: 3.7/5

Around the beginning of 2019, I went to Five Lads with my friends. It was a very new experience and I really enjoyed going out with them. In this article, I will be sharing my review of going to Five Lads about 2 years ago. 

What is Five Lads?

Five Lads is a chicken restaurant which sells a wide range of foods such as burgers, pittas and chicken. They are quite inspired by ‘Five Guys’. I went to the Leyton branch.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• I ordered a chicken breast fillet on a burger with a side and a drink.
• The flavour was ‘medium’ and the side was chips with a drink.
• Altogether, it was quite delicious and it cost £6.99.

The Service:

The day we went, I remember it being quite crowded. I remember that my friend and I had to go to shopkeepers to ask about the place. I would have preferred them to order at the table. They took a reasonable amount of time to come.

The Place:

The place was pretty clean with nice colours and decor. However, it was a bit small and a bit dark. 

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend this place because overall, it is quite good to have a meal with your friends. However, it is also not extraordinary.

My Rating: 3.7/5

What is Nando’s?

Nando’s is a well-known South African restaurant chain that specialises in Portugese-African food, including its signature flame-grilled peri-peri style chicken. The branch that I went to was the Walthamstow branch.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• My sister and I shared a ‘Boneless Platter’ which cost £21.20. This platter contained 1 Chicken Butterfly, 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs and 4 regular sides. The sides that I and my sister picked were peri peri chips, spicy rice, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, all in medium spice. Altogether, the platter was quite delicious but it may have been a bit less for two people.
• We also took a burger each. I took the medium spiced grilled chicken burger while my sister took the hot grilled chicken burger. Altogether, this cost £11.80. The burger was quite big and pretty good.
• Lastly, we both took two desserts each. We had the ‘Salted Caramel Brownie’ and ‘Dark Chocolate Gelado’. The brownie was £2.40 and the Gelado was £2.80. The desserts were a perfect chocolate combo so I would recommend it.

The Service:

The service was pretty good in general, as the staff came when needed. I liked the system of scanning the code and it helped in social distancing. However, I and my sister had ordered a ‘Choc-a-Lot Cake’ and we waited for about 20-25 minutes only to find out after calling one of the staff that they ran out of the cake. They gave us a refund but it made us a bit upset for having to wait so long.

The Place:

The place was pretty clean with nice colours and decor. It was quite spacious and very big. This store was pretty crowded when we went as it was around lunch-time.

Would I Recommend It?

Nando’s is a good eating place, where there are pretty delicious food and space. It may be a bit pricey and a bit over-rated for some people, but otherwise, it is pretty good.

My Rating: 3.9/5

What is Fireaway Pizza?

Fireaway Pizza is a pizza restaurant in Leyton. It gives ‘artisan pizza in 180 seconds’. It is promised to give ‘authentic Italian fast fried pizza with an innovative twist.’ 

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• I was quite skeptical in the beginning as I didn’t really feel like having pizza but I went along with my friends and it was fine.
• I ordered a ‘Firestarter’ meal deal and this included a signature pizza and a milkshake. A signature pizza was a pizza that had pre selected ingredients and toppings instead of you building your own pizza. It also contained a milkshake. The price of this meal deal was £11.99.
• The signature pizza I selected was ‘the Greek pizza’ which according to this link contained a tomato base, mozzarella, feta cheese, black olives, red onions and oregano. It was quite delicious and quite unique from other pizzas. The cheese melted in my mouth and was quite appetising. There were 8 slices in the 12” pizza.
• The milkshake I had was ‘the Oreo milkshake’ which felt quite similar to McDonalds Oreo McFlurry and was pretty tasty and chocolaty. 

The Service: 

In the store, I and my friends were the only customers eating in. Some customers came to take away but altogether, it was pretty quiet and empty. There were also very few staff working, so it took a bit of time for them to prepare the food.

The Place:

The restaurant was pretty clean and was a bit small, but it was empty when we went so it didn’t really matter. The decor was quite nice and the colour theme was red.

Would I Recommend It?

Yes, I would slightly recommend it because the restaurant did serve some pretty good and unique food. If you are a fan of pizza, you will probably love this place but since I am not the biggest fan of pizza, it was pretty okay for me.

My Rating: 3.5/5
