27 London Restaurants To Help You Avoid Delivery Déjà Vu - London - The Infatuation
"Delivery to surrounding areas from Hackney.
Tomi’s Kitchen makes hearty West African food to eat in or takeaway five minutes from Hackney Central. Stopping in or ordering a plate of stewed beef with jollof rice, beans, and plantain is always a good idea. The suya is decent and there are staples like efo-riro and ayamase stew too. If you’re going rice-heavy, just make sure you get a generous ladle of fried tomato and also chilli sauce. Order via their website," - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
The Best-Value Cheap Restaurants In East London - London - The Infatuation
"A hearty plate of jollof rice with beans and plantain is always a good idea from this West African restaurant in Hackney Central. There are plenty of staples like efo-riro and ayamase stew on the menu at Tomi’s Kitchen and, if you’re going rice-heavy, just make sure you get a decent ladle of fried tomato and chilli sauce on top. Together they’re the perfect mix of savoury, salty, and spicy. A tenner or so will go far here but a bag is recommended too. If we come for lunch, we tend to leave with dinner as well." - team infatuation

I was given off pepper soup and upon returning it the owner was very combative and disrespectful. I brought the soup back with me and once he tried it mind you this is after all the disrespect excluding him throwing money at me he didn’t apologise he just chucked new containers of pepper soup at me, mind you I was a regular customer. I will never go back there again!!!! Honestly taste your food before leaving I’m so disappointed truly us Africans can be our own worst enemy mind you I have my own business and could never dream of treating my customers like this. May God bring a good Nigerian restaurant to Deptford and may the prosper!!!

If you enjoy eating poison, this is the best place for you.
Ayamase tasted sour and was more fried peppered stew. It didn't 'mase at all.
Meat was so tough felt like I was eating cloth.
White Rice had water in it
Puff puff looked like had been frozen and refried after two days.
Fried rice had no taste
Egusi had sand in it and was sour.
Poundo was hard.
The owner was so argumentative, loud and rude.
If you don't value your life and your stomach, you will enjoy Tomi's kitchen. I will be reporting them to the authorities too. People's health are at stake here.
PS: They would also charge you to have warm food. All of the food listed above was deathly cold... And we ordered in person.

Extremely disrespectful service from the host who offers small portions. Host also missing out items from order on several occasions and tries to fill your order with cheap ingredients to save money and obscure the small portions of what you actually ordered - also whilst missing out on (more expensive) items in the order (on separate occasions). Rude host who is combative and argumentative when told about incomplete /wrong order, sometimes giving the wrong item or missing out on the more expensive menu items all together.

Took away rice and 2 cubes of beef for £8 pound. Roughly speaking, it's £3 for rice and £2.50 for each beef cube. For a local eatery, this is not cheap and portion is very small.
It's a sad meal.

The service was very poor and disrespectful from the male host who offers unsolicited substitutions to my order. The expected substitution was different from what was delivered.
I called to asked if the delivered snacks were ment for me. Since some items were missing from the order.
The male host shouted at me so hard over the phone, he was so combative , rude and argumentative over the phone when I told him about the missing items and what was used as replacement was not what we agreed on over the phone, that the smacks were for my kids. And replacement was not useful as they don’t eat it.
Instead of him to offer apologies rather, he started shouting over the phone and unfortunately the phone was on speaker, the kids could hear him talking rudely to me. They were so surprised.
NO SIMPLE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL.

Very rude host, argumentative and unprofessional. Received cheaper items I didn’t even pay for and when asked about it we were shouted at. Customer service needs to be improved and if food items are not in stock then it should state so to prevent ordering and wasting money. Definitely won’t be ordering here again x
