  “I’ve had a single kebab roll very good high quality but there is more to this then meets the eye, my favourite dishes is the lamb curry and chicken curry and it is very mild as there is a high quality to detail in them, it is mild and the atmosphere is pleasant and friendly,”

  “I ordered a meat samosa with masala chai - this very delicious, had to wait for it which tells me it was freshly made not out of a machine. I was given a vegetable samosa instead and was accused of eating it! How was i supposed to find out that it wasn't meat? I only eat the top bit, then I broke it opened to discover that it wasn't meat. I wasn't pleased about that. But the meat samosas are super. I didn't try anything else but the food looks good. I bought some to freeze.”

  “Tried to purchase some kebabs & nan for take away this lunch time. Awful service as it was busy lunchtime service and its geared towards people who the take away staff personally know. People came after me and were served first during this busy period, whilst I waited 25 minutes and still did not get served so I left empty handed. I would never come here again and for those who so want to, just remember whilst queuing to be served people who came after you will get there food first if they know the staff. Horrible establishment for first time visitors.”

  “Ordered a lamb curry as a takeaway and unfortunately found a fly inside the dish. To be fair, I understand things can occasionally go wrong, my issue is entirely with how it was handled afterwards. I contacted the restaurant and, not wanting to be unreasonable, asked only for a partial refund since half the meal had already been eaten before the fly was discovered. A simple, fair compromise. Instead, I was met with denial, zero accountability, and a promise to "look into it" that was never followed up on. The amount in question is genuinely not a lot of money, which makes the whole experience even more baffling. It would have cost them so little to do the right thing, but they chose not to. Hygiene concerns aside, a restaurant's response to a complaint tells you everything about how much they value their customers. Would not recommend.”

  “I recently hired this catering company for my event, and they absolutely smashed it. From start to finish, the food was outstanding—every course delivered on flavour, presentation, and quality. The starters were a perfect kickoff, packed with taste and beautifully prepared. The mains were just as impressive—generous portions, cooked to perfection, and clearly made with care. And the desserts? Easily the highlight for many of my guests—rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to round things off. Beyond the food itself, the service was smooth and professional, making the whole experience stress-free. Guests are still talking about how good everything was, which says it all. If you’re looking for a catering company that delivers across the board, I’d highly recommendI recently hired this catering company for my event, and they absolutely smashed it.

  “We opened our iftar at Salims Caters and it was an awesome, budget-friendly experience. We ordered fish, and they also served complimentary milk with Rooh Afza — not the usual Rooh Afza mixed with water like many other restaurants serve. They also provided plates of fruits and dates. The fruits included lychee, papaya, banana, apple, and kiwi, which was really nice. Overall, it was a great experience and I truly thank them for their hospitality. One more thing worth mentioning is that they did not ask me to leave a review — I am writing this on my own because I appreciated the service. Thanks!”

  “Nice food, but when you spend £30-£40 as a regular customer for fish pakora n ask for extra sauce the Asian Indian chubby lady says it’s already extra sauce. All other staff no issue no problem, been a customer for years. Uncle owner please kindly advise staff thank you.”

  “Delicious Experience at Salim Caterers – Ilford I recently had the pleasure of visiting Salim Caterers in Ilford, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience. Every dish had its own unique flavor and truly represented the essence of traditional Pakistani cuisine. Fish Pakora: Absolutely fantastic! The batter was light and crispy, and the fish inside was perfectly cooked. It had that fresh, mouthwatering flavor that instantly made it a favorite. Lamb Kebab: Nicely done – a bit on the spicier side, but still very flavorful. The spices were bold, adding a nice kick without overpowering the meat. Naan: Served hot, soft, and fluffy – just the way it should be. It paired beautifully with the curry dishes. Chicken Curry: A classic Pakistani homemade style dish. The chicken was tender, and the gravy had just the right consistency, especially when soaked up with rice. Veg and Chicken Cutlets: These were a standout! Perfectly made, crispy on the outside, and packed with spicy, flavorful fillings inside. A real treat! Overall, I loved the visit and thoroughly enjoyed every item. The food feels homely yet rich in authentic taste. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again – highly recommended for anyone craving traditional Pakistani flavors in Ilford!”

  “The Fried fish and seekh kebab were good. Currys and the rest of the food we ordered was just Ok. No dedicated staff to take orders. Mostly the restaurant was busy to serve takeaway customers.”

  “The quality of the food is excellent as are the prices. The fried fish seems to be there signature dish, you can see this by the amount they sell on a daily basis. £0.60 for a lamb seekh kebab, you can't go wrong! They also do outside catering and the naans/roti are excellent (3 for £1). You can eat here for a few pounds and feel very full which is why there are queues every night.”
