Location: This is located about 2 mins from Woodford Station. There are not that many places to…read morepark which is unfortunate. Service: The service is really good, although we noticed that there was one person for every stage of the meal. One person seats you, one person takes your order, another person brings your food etc etc, will be interesting to hear if everyone else has the same experience. Although they are different people, they are all very pleasant and very attentive. Food: The food was great and the portions are very big. They do pasta and pizza and steak lol. I had the bruschetta to start and the tagliatelle mushroom and cream for main and the Tiramisu for dessert. All of the food was really good and I will definitely be going again. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was good, busy but not too loud. Price: The food is priced just right, especially for the amount of food you get. Evaluation: Great! I will definitely be back.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!…read more It's a place I have been visiting for a good 7 years now and not once have I walked out thinking 'what on earth was that?'. The food is amazing, the music is great and the best thing of all is that it won't burn your pocket.

Just off the Wanstead station on the Central line, it's worth a visit even if you don't live here. They do a brisk takeaway/delivery business, but it's a comfortable place to dine in, with excellent service. Ask for a recommendation -- the staff is proud of their food. We've had lamb and chicken dishes. The lamb shank was memorable. It's what brought us back after our first visit. The chicken shaktora is also delicious, though it might be even better with dark meat than breast meat. Just a thought. It was great.

The Woodoven BBQ in South Woodford…read more If you want a relaxing meal outside of the hustle and bustle of the city of London, the Woodoven is the spot! Awesome atmosphere and friendly faces always gets my attention and dollar! Didn't know if it was going to be a typical BBQ spot or a place with an awesome flavor! I started with the bread and humus! Delicious! Humus; creamy with a cucumber and pickle flavor. Next I had an awesome bowl of "Garlic mushrooms", grilled and sauteed with an awesome savory taste! I will never forget! My final dish is the calzon with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, cheese and green peppers! It's probably too much food, but there's always takeout! Just know that you get Big bang for your buck! I chased it down with bottled water and a glass of rose wine! With love, Chef ElJai'

Used to be my local and I love it so much that even after we moved to another borough I wouldn't…read morelet the fact that they didn't deliver to our area keep me from enjoying their food - we drive there every now and again to get a takeaway. There is now another restaurant also called Wood Oven on George lane, closer to the station; same owners maybe, but a different, more upmarket looking vibe. The ambient is informal and noisy in a good, cheerful way; perhaps not the place for an intimate meal, but if you want to enjoy a lively evening you're in the right place. They don't take reservations, but the restaurant have enough seats so the turnover is quick and you won't have to wait ages. In the winter, avoid if possible the tables next to the door to the loos (by the way loos are located outside, at the back) to avoid drafts from people who were born in a barn and leave it wide open. All the ingredients are fresh, and the meat is cooked to perfection, never dry or overcooked. I often get falafel for starters, nice texture and really tasty. I love the lamb shish; I even managed to convert my mother who said she didn't like lamb. Do try the Wood Oven Special if you aren't sure of what to order; it combines lamb and chicken shish, kofta, lamb chops/ribs, chicken wings, rice and salad and serves (well) two people. The rice deserves special mention, SO fluffy and flavoursome. Staff is lovely, smiley and accommodating. Once we were politely asked if we could change tables in order to allow a family to combine two tables and sit together; we happily obliged and got a free extra dish as a treat. Sweet.
