Sadly, they did not but I understood the explanation. We ordered corn fritters, vegetable tempura, hand fried spring rolls, green curry with tofu, pad Thai, and a Tiger beer. It was good. I'm glad it was so good because it is not fast. Which means someone is actually cooking the food. Which we need to appreciate more. So go there when you're with someone whose company you enjoy and you aren't in a hurry. Sit. Have a beer or two and wait. It's coming and it'll be good. It's also good because it isn't TOO anything. My friend wanted more seasoning and asked if it would be rude to ask for salt or something. I decided that it would. This is a family spot. "You go tell him his wife's food isn't to your liking", I joked while savoring my dish. This man wanted to ask for salt or (gasp) soy sauce(!) and he had eaten the decorative vegetables on the plate. It was good solid Thai food. The server was kind and celebrated my sloppy attempts at speaking Thai. The spot is not what you'd expect, it's homey, the ceiling and walls covered in standard cultural decor but it gave speakeasy. Like a place the mob would frequent. Quiet, comfortable, private, and low traffic. This should he a neighborhood favorite.

The Woodoven BBQ in South Woodford…read more If you want a relaxing meal outside of the hustle and bustle of the city of London, the Woodoven is the spot! Awesome atmosphere and friendly faces always gets my attention and dollar! Didn't know if it was going to be a typical BBQ spot or a place with an awesome flavor! I started with the bread and humus! Delicious! Humus; creamy with a cucumber and pickle flavor. Next I had an awesome bowl of "Garlic mushrooms", grilled and sauteed with an awesome savory taste! I will never forget! My final dish is the calzon with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, cheese and green peppers! It's probably too much food, but there's always takeout! Just know that you get Big bang for your buck! I chased it down with bottled water and a glass of rose wine! With love, Chef ElJai'

Used to be my local and I love it so much that even after we moved to another borough I wouldn't…read morelet the fact that they didn't deliver to our area keep me from enjoying their food - we drive there every now and again to get a takeaway. There is now another restaurant also called Wood Oven on George lane, closer to the station; same owners maybe, but a different, more upmarket looking vibe. The ambient is informal and noisy in a good, cheerful way; perhaps not the place for an intimate meal, but if you want to enjoy a lively evening you're in the right place. They don't take reservations, but the restaurant have enough seats so the turnover is quick and you won't have to wait ages. In the winter, avoid if possible the tables next to the door to the loos (by the way loos are located outside, at the back) to avoid drafts from people who were born in a barn and leave it wide open. All the ingredients are fresh, and the meat is cooked to perfection, never dry or overcooked. I often get falafel for starters, nice texture and really tasty. I love the lamb shish; I even managed to convert my mother who said she didn't like lamb. Do try the Wood Oven Special if you aren't sure of what to order; it combines lamb and chicken shish, kofta, lamb chops/ribs, chicken wings, rice and salad and serves (well) two people. The rice deserves special mention, SO fluffy and flavoursome. Staff is lovely, smiley and accommodating. Once we were politely asked if we could change tables in order to allow a family to combine two tables and sit together; we happily obliged and got a free extra dish as a treat. Sweet.

I recently had a frustrating shopping experience here, although the mini cannolis I tried were…read moregood. My son noticed they had cannolis as we were walking by. We waited in line to order, and then saw the only place they have mini cannolis displayed, is behind the glass that faces towards the street. Also, the flavor signs only face out to the street, and they have a table in front of that glass. So you can't see the entire display or all of the flavor signs, and you can't point at everything you want. Further compounding the issue, they call different things, the same name in some cases. So a Salted Caramel could be one of at least two different things. I told the guy helping me that I was going to get a few mini cannoli. I would say "I want two salted caramels", pointing to a sign that said salted caramel. And then the guy would grab two from behind the salted caramel sign that I didn't want. They had cannolis with a sort of Florentine shell and a normal pastry shell. I told him I wanted only the Florentine shell kind. But he would grab the pastry shell kind. I would say he was grabbing the wrong thing, and he didn't change it. And occasionally he would grab something other than a cannoli altogether. We had a very difficult time trying to get what we wanted, and we didn't get everything we wanted. I don't live in the area, but I wouldn't return based on this experience, even though what I tried was good. They need to change their ordering system to make it more customer friendly. 3 Stars

I've tried at least three different sandwiches/paninis and they've all been disappointingly bland. I recently enjoyed a pulled pork panini (the Roma), so thought I might give this place three stars, but when I went this week, it had gross lumps of hard fat in it that were rather off-putting. On top of that, the queue is a bit of a joke. It's such a narrow place, so you can't see any of the menus or food displays until it's time to decide, so I end up feeling pressured into making a decision really quickly, probably to the detriment of my enjoyment.

We had a nice brekkie of flavorful streaky bacon, crispy hashbrowns, nicely grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. (Only Brits eat tomatoes and mushrooms for breakfast. Actually not a bad idea!). All that was good, as we're the friendly server and cook/cashier (part of the family?). The eggs and toast however bring the score down. The toast was plain white bread, coated with too much butter then stacked so it steamed the upper pieces to sogginess level. The scrambled eggs were unseasoned and plain. So, that plate was something we could easily do better at home. I'd say the food could easily be brought up to the level of their other two restaurants and draw more people. All in all, we'll be back and maybe try a burger. Full breakfast for two for £10, not bad.
