Five Lads

I went to Five Lads after not eating the whole day, and honestly, that first bite felt like therapy. This was my first meal of the day, late at night, and I’m telling you — it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. I ordered the loaded box: a chicken strip burger, four lemon & herb strips, a drink, and a big portion of chips. Every single thing was perfect. The flavour, the heat, the seasoning… wallahi, I could’ve cried. That’s how good it was. I even thanked the owner repeatedly because the food genuinely hit a level of satisfaction I didn’t think I could reach — especially on a freezing winter night with an empty stomach. I hope everyone gets to experience that kind of simple happiness at least once in their life. Peak satisfaction. Thank you, Five Lads. ❤️🔥

I visited the Five Lads restaurant in Leyton and was impressed by the food and service overall. The grilled chicken platter was really good the sauce was flavorful, and the chicken tasted fresh and tender, clearly made to order. Portions are generous and great value for money . The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly with plenty of seating. Staff were welcoming and even accommodated special drink requests when needed . The service was fast and polite, both for takeaway and dine-in visits

I have been going here for three years now since I moved here. Never had a bad meal, never been cold, never been small always good portion. Tasty, delicious. Any time I ask boss man special requests he does them. Better than Nando’s in my opinion. Ten out of ten every time .

This was part of a platter which came with half chicken, 2 choices of burgers, 4 wings and 2 sides with a bottle of drink. The food was amazing specially their grilled chicken and wings were so flavourful. This was a very hearty meal❤️

Got A Take Away Few Days Ago Got The Deal Whole Chicken, Wings & Tenders With A Drink. Got To Say The Whole Chicken Is A Complete Winner Unbelievable Soft and Juicy Great Job Lads! Wings Where Also Good. You Lost A Star On The Way Way Overcooked Tenders They Where Hard But Non The Less Will Order Again Or Maybe Dine In Next Time Good Place To Eat In Leyton.

I did a uber eats order, I do love the wings(it comes just the wing without drumstick side), really good sauce. Had other chicken parts which we liked. I ordered peri salted chips and they were really hot and good size(maybe sprinkle more peri salt as it was very little and most of chips were plain) overall, will definitely try again. I took a “salam cola” but that’s nothing like original and it also came warm… I wouldn’t recommend it if you fan of Original Cola ,especially for delivery

Great food and service. Travelled a long way to try this place out based on what other people told me about it and it didn’t disappoint. I would give 6 stars if I could !

5 lads is one of the best chicken shops in London. Whether you’re coming back from a night out or just fancy a takeaway, make sure to order from here! A great staple in the Leytonstone community. They are also super accommodating and helpful if you need to change your order. Fast service and fast delivery. 5*s all around! (I recommend their wraps or their chicken strips. The sauce is also so addictive! Plus they also sell Salaam cola for those supporting 🇵🇸 !)
