Where to eat European food in Romford: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best European food in Romford, England, United Kingdom. Romford is a large town in east London, and the administrative centre of the London Borough of Havering. It is located 14.1 miles (22.7 km) northeast of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. It was historically a market town in the county of Essex and formed the administrative centre of the liberty of Havering, until it was dissolved in 1892. Good road links and the opening of the railway station in 1839 were key to the development of the town and the economic history of Romford is underpinned by a shift from agriculture to light industry and then to retail and commerce. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Romford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1937 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. It now forms one of the largest commercial, retail, entertainment and leisure districts outside central London and has a developed night-time economy.

Shish Meze Restaurant opened its doors, back in 2012 and since than we have been offering ultimate dining experiences to our guests.
Reviewed By steven d
The restaurant itself has been tastefully refurbed and is very clean and visually very appealing both inside and out. We visited early sunday evening and the server was very efficient and friendly initially although as they got busier they seemed to be struggling to cope maybe they were short staffed? Had to ask three times for coffee ordered.. The lamb shish was nice and tender however at 20 pounds for what was essentially 9 cubes of meat and salad and a timbale of rice i would expect it to be of good quality. All the food was of good quality and served on nice crockery. However the prices for most of the dishes are somewhat high bearing in mind there isnt a lot of actual skill involved. In their execution.. But the meat was good quality as said. Good atmosphere and staff did try hard.

At Bunno we enjoy making our pasta every day and roasting our carefully selected coffee beans. You can enjoy them at our restaurant or take it away with you

Old Street, Shoreditch, Southwark and Covent Garden all have pasta bars par excellence. Itâs surprising indeed to announce that Romford now joins that list in the shape of The Bunno in South Street which describes itself as âYour Local Coffee Roasters and Fresh Pasta Makersâ. Well one afternoon a few months ago I tried the coffee and a tiramisu in a plastic pot, so finding myself in Romford at lunchtime popped in to try the pasta. Although the rear is laid out as a restaurant, one must order and pay at the counter where there is a display of pizza slices, muffins and pastries. There are five or so types of pastas which come with a choice of topping. I opted instead for one of the three filled pastas of the day a tortellini filled by minced pork rib in a thick tomato sauce. Accompanied by a glass of Chianti this proved a deeply satisfying dish.

First night in Romford for over a year and my mate recommended heading to Raphael's for a decent meal, I was pleasantly surprised but the nice child free atmosphere, attentive staff and good food. The drinks selections was really good, a nice selection of wines, spirits and beers. These were ordered and served very quickly. Then onto the food, it isn't the best I have eaten but the portions are a decent size and it was pretty tasty. For a night out, this is a good place to go with friends and family as long as you are leaving the kids at home. Kid free evenings are such a good idea and create an ambiance that is just that little more enjoyable.

So I went yesterday and I cut through my chicken cube and found a hair, the restaurant apologised but nothing else was done. Quiet shocking and totally would not record anyone else to go here as thereâs no hygiene. God knows how many hairs there was, no flavour in the lamachun! After finding the hair we was still made to pay, you would of thought the two soft drinks would of been complimentary but no.

We were a party of 6 and all food served was beautiful! In the current climate where there are now so many Turkish eateries to chose from the Kervan is our new favourite. Service was good although it did seem that they wind down and close fairly early on bearing in mind it was Saturday night, we were told that we could only have one more drink when having after dinner liquers but this would not stop us returning.Dear Jo G, Thank you for this smashing review. We are very glad to have you on you board!We hope to see you and your guests at Kervan Kitchen again soon! With our utmost thanks, Kervan Kitchen Management

This is a spacious and modern restaurant. Service is both friendly and intuitive. There is a great selection of food on offer including daily specials and set menus during the day. The building appears to accessible and there is seating at the front of the building. my fresh pizza was cooked to order and was filling. My starter of mushrooms in breadcrumbs was served in a small basket. Plenty of buses pass the restaurant and it is close to Romford Train Station. I'll definitely return.
