Pandoo's, Essex IG1

Address: 112 Cranbrook Road, Ilford, Essex IG1 4LZ

Halal Credentials: HMC Certified

Three TT Guide reviewers visited on 17 June 2010.

We ordered the chicken crisps, fusion platter, chicken noodles and 3 refillable drinks.

They advertised a decent 3-course meal for £5 (also on website) but when we went they said lunchtime only. This is not stated anywhere on the website or board outside the restaurant.

Service was poor, we waited, seated ourselves and after a few minutes even went to find menus ourselves.

Verdict: Oil-logged and chewy chicken crisp strips on some lettuce did not impress. The half grilled chicken was well cooked as part of the fusion, and the onion rings/prawn toast were also ok. However, the chicken rice and chicken noodles were both dry and flat tasting. The self-serve drinks were poor, some flat, some lacking taste. Overall, we will not be returning.

DECOR/ENVIRONMENT: Bordering on tatty (broken/hanging light fittings, no signs to toilets etc)

PRICE: Moderate, £10 per head

FOOD: Poor

SERVICE: Poor

SCORE: 6 out of 10

RECOMMENDED: No
