Durga - Redbridge

Stale mitai miserable staff been coming here for 25/30 years and won’t be coming back shame really as they used to be so good

Tried over charging and then explained that if I had ordered online it would have been cheaper. He got caught out overcharging and tried to make excuses. In the end I walked out. avoid these thieves.

Stale sweets !! Shame that it was sold to customers like me. I would avoid visiting this place. Avoid !!!! I could sense that that place was dirty and people serving were not hygienic- at one point cleaning with wipes and next second using the same hand to put the samosas in the paper bags !!

This is the best shop in East London for Indian sweets, and they serve the most authentic north Indian street food like cholle bhature, chaat etc. and one of the best Punjabi saag is available here. Recently they started thali as well, but the best dish has to be Bharta and close second is bharwa karele. Caution, since they are best, they get busy on festivals, so plan accordingly specially in these Covid times when only 2 persons at time are allowed

Went into this place as I do 2/3 times a year when it’s Diwali, Rakhi or New Years to buy Mithai (Indian Sweets). On this occasion it was Rakhi which is a busier than normal day. The Owner with the beard had one slow person working alongside him. I waited outside nearly 20 minutes and there was only 2 people in-front of me in the queue. It got to the point both of them were ignoring the customers outside to serve Uber or deliveroo drivers. I said to the owner your to slow and you should prioritise people waiting outside on the street in 36 degrees heat, he didn’t care and carried on with serving the deliveroo driver. His excuse was that only 2 people were allowed behind the counter. But 2/3 Uber drivers are allowed in the shop at the same time without masks, that makes sense! In the past I allowed writing a bad review for this place as their sweets are the best in the area even after I got served Pakoras drowned in salt. I called and highlighted this to the owner he said he will refund me on my next visit, this didn’t happen. But this time with the bad slow service then stinking attitude from the owner count yourself I can’t rate you lower than 1!
