They offer an amazing menu ranging from fresh Mint tea, coffees, smoothies,... to halal mixed grills, paninis and a variety of tasty desserts. The food and shisha is absolutely to die for and the mint tea is just out of this world! They are strict about who they let inside meaning no youth or hood rats causing trouble.This is a great place to gather some friends for a safe fun night out as they offer a separate section for ladies and a private room for hire for those with big groups. I have been to this cafe many times and would feel comfortable bringing my wife here to enjoy the mellow relaxing atmosphere. The staff is extremely accommodating and make sure the customers are well served. As a frequent visitor to London, no other shisha cafe has lived up to my expectations like Moroccan Gardens. For all the Londoner's looking for a nice, relaxing place to chill out, Moroccan Gardens is definitely worth a visit!!

On March 1, 2025, I went in and ordered two coffees--an Americano and a Mocha. The so-called "black…read moreAmericano" wasn't actually coffee; instead, we were given the leftover dregs from the previous brew. The so-called coffee was practically transparent--it couldn't even be called coffee. I'm sure the Mocha was made the same way. When we asked why the coffee looked so bad, we were told it had "a lot of water," but in reality, it was just old leftovers from another coffee. Another employee--a young man--remade the coffee, and this time it actually tasted like coffee. However, they didn't replace the Mocha. The person who originally made our coffee had a rude and arrogant attitude, insisting that the coffee was fine in her opinion. From the very beginning, the service was terrible. I live in this area, but I will never step foot in this place again. Avoid this cafe, you'll be extremely disappointed!

Based on a Devon/Cornwall tea room and only five weeks old at the time I visited there is an air of tranquility to the place and community...the two owners were happy to chat new faces as well as regulars. There's also a community noticeboard and a selection of handmade crafts which can be purchased as a reasonable price. I had the Team Room Blend, a popular choice it seems as the following two other people also opted for it, as well as a tea cake. The tea arrived in a proper teapot with cup and saucer and was easily enough for three cups. It was also a lovely blend, not too strong but with a distinct edge to it from your regular English Breakfast. The tea cake was a good size and came with butter which had already been warmed (a wonderful small touch) so was easy to spread. All in all very tasty. I have no doubts that if I lived nearby this would be a regular haunt, but as I'm not I bought a gift voucher for a friend who is and hope she enjoys it as much as I did. Will certainly be going back next time I visit.

Good location, just by Wanstead station in case you need refreshments to withstand the journey to…read moreor from the East End. Wanstead is a picturesque little village and has many good things going for it already, a nice tea room was a great addition. The place isn't big, but the decor is quaint and lovely, and the service is good. The crockery is colorful and nicely mismatched, for the ones who appreciate a little bit of character with their tea. The tea itself... they have a reasonable amount of choice and I went for a raspberry/vanilla infusion; let's say I might stick with the traditional english breakfast next time. I had the teacake, wich was very nice, and if you are willing to take my advice then ask for it to come hot and already buttered to the table; this way the teacake absorbs all the butter and changes texture slightly, which is what you want. Butter on the side just isn't the same. The cake selection also looked great and I'm planning to try a few next. They have a cute little garden at the back, it was a bit too cold to sit outside on that day, but if sunny I'd totally go for that spot. :)
