The standout dishes at Faroz include the Adana Kebab, served alongside rice, couscous, and a refreshing salad. Diners consistently mention the quality and generous portion sizes, making it a fulfilling option for lunch or dinner. Those with a sweet tooth must try the baklava, known for its perfect sweetness and flakiness, a highlight after any Turkish meal.
The ambiance receives high praise as well, offering a cozy spot perfect for family gatherings or casual dining. The attentive service, particularly from staff like manager Rodrigo, enhances the overall experience, making guests feel at home. Additionally, the restaurant’s offerings are Halal, accommodating various dietary needs within the community.
Most Disliked
While many meals are lauded, some patrons have noted inconsistencies in dish quality. For example, the Lamb Sarma Beyti has received mixed reviews, with some diners finding it merely acceptable. Frozen fries have also disappointed a few customers, suggesting a need for better quality control on side dishes.
Another point of contention may be the restaurant's peak times, particularly during Sunday dinners when it reaches full capacity. These crowded moments can impact service speed, which some have reported as a concern. Overall, while minor issues have been mentioned, Faroz Restaurant continues to captivate with its strengths.

Being a turkish food lover, tried Turkish food at several restaurants in Ilford and found this to be the most delicious and of course, authentic! I would say this is the best Turkish restaurant in Ilford.

I walk past this place everyday on my way to work or back home, but never really ended up getting anything. Finally got the adana Kebab! And oh, it was so good! Comes with rice, couscous and salad along with two sauces. Totally worth the money and portion size is extremely generous!

One of the best Turkish restaurant in London with the original receipt for Bulgur. It is always a pleasure to dine in there as we enjoy everything that is in the menu. I terms of price it is reasonable, and offers a large variety of dishes. What I have always appreciated were the mezes offered for the clients while waiting for their food. Once again, our favourite Turkish restaurant.

We were the only customers. The restaurant was empty so we had the best service we could expect. Rodrigo (manager) was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable. My lamb Shish was superb. Excellent quality and cooked to perfection. My wife’s lamb Sarma Beyti wasn’t amazing but just acceptable aah, and her fries(chips) were frozen… We enjoyed the experience and we’ll come back to try other menu options. The restaurant is beautiful and looked great. Added extra pics from times I went again after this review.

An amazing, authentic Turkish restaurant. Tasty bread with sauces and turkish black tea as a compliment. For 30£ you get a plate for 2 of turkish bbq, rice and some veggies. It was so big that almost half stayed on the plate. Can't recommend this place enough!
