Ali - Redbridge

My Mum took us to Ali Curry House for a traditional Pakistani/Punjabi naashta (breakfast). The restaurant may not look much more of a cafe than a restaurant but very clean we could see the kitchen and 5 star hygiene rating in the window. The food was excellent authentic, not greasy, tasted like homemade and wow what a selection. We had halwa, chaney, haleem, curry with pakora and aubergine curry.All eaten with a mix of pooris, chicken mince paratha and naan. The food was simply amazing. We were given desi chaai too. So stuffed we could barely move at the end of the meal but this was a treat afterall. If you want to try homemade, traditional Pakistani food this is the place to come. Simply the next place to eat in Ilford and maybe even East London. We're already planning our next visit.

I had a wonderful dining experience! The new management has really made a difference, and all the staff were incredibly friendly. The mixed grill and lamb karhi were absolutely delicious!

This is a lovely restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is excellent; I particularly enjoyed the lamb and liver dishes, as well as the delicious kebab rolls and chicken biryani.

I've been visiting this place for years, not because the food is exceptional, but because I can always count on it being open, no matter the hour. However, the restrooms and the sink outside are among the worst I've ever encountered, and the tables look quite outdated. The food isn’t award-winning, and it’s not prepared fresh; instead, it's pre-made and simply heated up. Still, I don't mind it because I'm so accustomed to their food after a night out.
