The Connaught

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing experience at The Connaught Ilford! I can’t say enough good things about The Connaught Ilford — what an incredible find! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed, almost like I was returning to a favourite spot. The service was upbeat, friendly, and impressively efficient. The location is perfect too — close to transport, shops, and everything you might need, yet still peaceful enough to relax and unwind. What really blew me away was the atmosphere. The whole place has this warm, positive energy that instantly puts you in a good mood. It’s clear the team takes real pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. I left feeling refreshed and impressed

This is an amazing little spot for all-day food. I really enjoyed the Bombay Breakfast — it was unique and delicious. The soft brioche bun paired with the spicy keema was perfect and really hit the spot. My friends tried the Classic Breakfast and the Spicy Burger, and they enjoyed their meals as well. Customer service was excellent, and the team at the front was very polite and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Food: Lovely food. The platter was great and good portions. The chops, pulled beef, strips were yummy. The wings could have been a bit tastier. Price: Great price for the food and quality. Atmosphere: Very nice and comfortable. Perfect for couples, families or friends. We went for a birthday and 8 of us ate. Service: Amazing service. The staff were great and got a complimentary Chai Latte.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely unreal. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles and took it to the next level by adding pulled beef and a crispy hash brown — and wow, it was a full-on flavour explosion. The waffles were golden and chewy, the fried chicken thighs juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the turkey rashers added that smoky kick. The egg and maple syrup tied it all together like a dream. Portion sizes? Astronomical. You will not leave hungry — this is brunch built for legends. I paired it with a mocha, and it went down so smooth. Sweet, savoury, rich, and satisfying — every bite was a win. Highly recommend. Would eat again in a heartbeat.

Our go to place for breakfast and its worth the hype. The full English is always tasty and the portion sizes are very generous. The French toast always hits the spot and almost feels like you're having dessert for breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff and the food was served promptly which is always good when you have kids with you.

Plenty of parking nearby (pay and display), Sunday parking is free ofcourse. A very busy place on the weekends, popular and amazing food. The food looks stunning and tastes wonderful too. I went for the Bombay Brunch, Spicy Chicken Keema with kidney beans, runny egg, crispy onions, spring onions and buttered brioche buns. The chilli sauce is delicious. A warm cozy place tucked in the side streets of Ilford. I true gem of a find. Saud in the photo gave hreat service too. Go and enjoy this place please! Salim Patel

Lovely place to meet up with friends for brunch. The food was freshly cooked, well presented, and tasted great. The place was packed, and I can see why — it has a great atmosphere. The service from the young staff was excellent — they were friendly, very helpful, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

What a positive vibe in the cafe a lot of well behaved youngsters in the cafe who are running the show. Its look like that i am at Michelin star cafe excellent culinary experience. Prices are very affordable as compared to presentation. They know the art of running the cafe. Visited this town after 27 years and this cafe was a surprise. Wish them best of Luck. Coffee beans were strong. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. its feels like home made food.
