I'm honestly so happy Sweet Basil opened up -- finally a proper halal Chinese restaurant in Romford that delivers authentic flavour.
What makes it even better is that the food is cooked by Mr Chen, a chef I've known (and followed!) for over a decade. His food has always been top-tier, and it's great to see him in this new space.
We ordered a few dishes to share and everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavour. You can really taste the care that goes into it.
The restaurant itself looks brand new -- modern, clean, and spacious. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast without feeling rushed.
If you're in the area and craving Chinese food that's both halal and actually authentic, you won't be disappointed. Will definitely be back with friends and family. read more
