Aqsa in Waltham Forest

Great value. Freshly home cooked food.Not your regular Anglicised stuff. If this place were a restaurant it would be full. And 3 times the prices. So, go there, ask for a Peter special and eat well for about a tenner!

I fancied a change and had freshly cooked veggie pakoras with a crisp salad then a vegetable curry, chick pea rice, red lentils, black lentil curry and a garlic nan straight from the oven. Absolutely fresh as you like and excellent value 2 of us ate for under £10. Why nobody else has commented on this place beats me.

Just ask for a Peter special! Pakoras then Curry, rice, bread and drink! Full up and change from a tenner!

This family run curry café and kebab shop has a few tables and really really is worth a visit! Having lived in East London all my life I know just about every type of curry, originating from each and every corner of the globe and this place is fab! It is Pakistani, I am told but unlike the grills and pakoras Aqsa seems to specialise in more slowly cooked curries, family recipes. It's unlicensed and halal and I like the way their traditions are respected. They cook really tasty food and fresh dishes are prepared daily. Last time I had crisp onion and potato bhajis with salad to start and then Lamb curry, black chick pea curry and nan freshly baked to order in the tandoor. Even with a side veggie dish, bhindi I think and Keera (semolina) pudding and a drink the whole bill came to about a tenner! £10. That's 3 courses! Plus a drink! If you live nearby please go there and support this small family business. Say Peter, the psychotherapist, sent you and they will laugh and , who knows, maybe even give you a little extra! It I go there once a week for home-cooked traditiuon Pakistani dishes
