Relish - Barking and Dagenham

After a guided walk around Barking, we decided to stop by this restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The coffee was both reasonably priced and delicious. The cakes also looked and tasted amazing. We had a sneak peek at their upcoming food offerings, set to launch in early October, and we cannot wait to come back for more. We will definitely be returning!

I went to this restaurant for lunch and had no complaints about the food or service. However, I was disappointed to see two female staff members acting in a bullying manner towards two male customers with special needs. It's great that this is a community cafe that provides work and training opportunities, but witnessing this behavior was disheartening.

The staff at this restaurant are friendly, helpful, and highly skilled at their jobs. The chefs prepare delicious food, as my order of pork ribs was cooked beautifully. I would highly recommend dining here, as they take excellent care of their customers and are very pleasant people. A perfect 10/10 experience.

I can't fault this place. I've eaten lunch here many times and you get friendly, efficient service and most importantly quality, wholesome food with a varied menu. Some of it is good ole British grub, some more continental, but it's always reasonably priced. Very clean place too, but without being so sanitised it loses the community feel, which is another thing I like about it. Not what you'd call a restaurant, but more than your greasy spoon, it has the feel of a decent community canteen with decent, local people working in it, and a place for everyone. Full marks for this place. You don't get modest but nice places like this in the more poncey parts of London.

I love the roasted vegetable jacket potatoes here. You are asked whether you want humus on top or beside the potato, on top tastes great in my opinion. This cafe has a great busy atmosphere and the staff work hard to serve the steady flow of customers.
