Lokkum Bar & Grill

If you ever find yourself near Woodford New Rd in London and crave a bold, flavour-packed dining experience with a touch of flair, Lokkum Bar & Grill is one spot that knows how to turn a meal into a full-on occasion. This isn’t just a restaurant-it’s where grilled perfection, vibrant cocktails, and warm ambience come together in a way that’s effortlessly magnetic.

From the moment you approach the entrance, there’s a sense that you’re walking into somewhere with personality. It’s fully wheelchair-accessible-from the car park to the toilets-so no one misses out on the good vibes inside. And yes, there’s plenty of those. Whether you’re meeting friends for dinner, grabbing lunch solo, or looking to sip on a Passion Fruit Mojito under the London sky with their outdoor seating, Lokkum nails the setting for any mood.

Now, let’s talk food-because that’s the real headline here. The Tomahawk Steak is an absolute showstopper. It arrives sizzling, perfectly charred outside with a tender, juicy middle that practically melts on your fork. If you’re coming in with an appetite (or a crew), the Mixed Grill Platter is a feast of epic proportions. Think chicken wings, lamb ribs, and shish kebabs all in one glorious display. It's protein heaven, and every bite tells you the kitchen knows what it’s doing.

Meat lovers might also find themselves drawn to the Dallas Steak or the Rib Eye, both grilled to your liking and served with accompaniments that round out the dish without stealing the spotlight. For those craving something more playful, the Shredded Lamb Tacos offer an unexpected twist-soft, savoury, and packed with Mediterranean zest.

Seafood isn’t an afterthought here either. The King Prawns Main is grilled with precision, while the Crispy Calamari hits the table golden, crunchy, and begging for a squeeze of lemon and a glass of crisp white wine.

Speaking of drinks, the bar knows how to deliver. From the zesty Strawberry Daiquiri to a creamy Pina Colada, cocktails come well-balanced and generously poured. And for wine lovers? The list is strong and surprisingly extensive. It pairs effortlessly with everything from grilled meats to their delicate Tempura starters. And if you're more into sipping slowly, their great coffee and fine tea selection have got your back-especially when it’s time for dessert.

Let’s not skip the sweet finish. The Kunefe is all about contrast: crispy, cheesy, syrupy, and warm, served with a scoop of cool ice cream. But if that’s not your thing, the Creme Brulee and classic Kulfi step up with refined, satisfying richness.

Beyond food and drinks, what sets Lokkum Bar & Grill apart is the atmosphere. There’s often live music to elevate the vibe, and the private dining room makes it a popular pick for celebrations or just impressing your dinner date. Even late-night cravings are fair game here, with small plates and hearty options well into the evening.

Vegetarian or vegan? No worries. Their inclusive menu offers enough plant-based options to satisfy those preferences without making them feel like an afterthought. You can enjoy a healthy dish, sip a signature cocktail, and still feel part of the indulgent Lokkum experience.

Whether you’re popping in for a spontaneous dinner, planning a birthday meal, or just looking to unwind with a glass of wine and great company, this restaurant knows how to welcome you like a regular, even on your first visit. And that’s the kind of place you want to come back to.
