How To Get Here at Naan Staap?

You'll have plenty of time to enjoy on-the-go snacks or dine in because it's open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Naan Staap Experience
Following an offer to dine at the newly launched Ilford branch. I accepted the offer to dine at Naan Staap since it was within walking distance of my home. Despite the fact that I had previously visited their first-ever branch in Forest Gate, which was many years ago. This was a fantastic opportunity to try a wide range of dishes, and it did not disappoint. When I came, it was just half-full, which was perfect because I was able to sit where I wanted. However, if I had arrived 30 minutes later, it would have been too late because, after Half 6, it became very crowded.
I had made a list of items I wanted that I had planned ahead of time. As a result, all I had to do was inform the helpful and cheerful workers at the counter of my order. Therefore I thought the service was excellent. We had to wait a while because it was busy, which I didn't mind because I was able to film the interiors and environs in the meantime. Our dinner arrived at our tables after around 20 minutes of waiting.

You can see a list of their menu items below, which you may order directly from their café. You can select from a variety of options, including Vegetarian, Lamb, Chicken, Sweet, and many others.
What I Ordered at Naan Staap:
- Chicken Jalfrezi Naan £6.25
- Aaloo Cheese Naan £4.25
- Biscoff Naan £5.95
- Shaami Kebab £3.75
- Cheesy Chips £3.25
- Vanilla Chaah £2.25
- Mango Lassi £3.25
Chicken Jalfrezi Naan £6.25
The Chicken Jalfrezi was served with Roghni Naan, which was rather filling; after half of a Naan, I was quite full. This item will appeal to those who appreciate a flavourful boneless chicken curry.
Aaloo Cheese Naan £4.25
The greatest option was the Aaloo Cheese Naan. This dish is a delectable cheese pull item that I highly recommend because it's a wonderful combo for a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Mint sauce is also available alongside this dish.
Shaami Kebab £3.75
A three-piece Shaami Kebab was a yummy and soft, round-shaped Tikki that could be dipped in sauce. This was one of the four side dishes they offered.
Cheesy Chips £3.25
Between the other chips, which included regular fries and masala chips, I preferred the cheesy chips. With melted cheese and herbs on top, these chips were delectable. If you're looking for a good side dish, this is the one to go for.
Biscoff Naan £5.95
Biscoff Naan was delicious, quite soft and sweet. If you're searching for a sweet meal, this is the place to go. This was served hot from the oven. It was a unique experience to try Lotus in a Naan, and I would highly suggest it.
Mango Lassi £3.25 & Vanilla Chaah £2.25
The beverages I chose, and both were delicious. Mango Lassi wasn't too sweet and had a fantastic flavour. The Vanilla Chaah was a lovely flavoured tea that I really enjoyed with the Naan.

Conclusion
Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience at Naan Staap. It seems to be fairly busy and a wonderful cafe to catch up with friends or family based on my personal experience. The food and drink options were plentiful, with the Aaloo Cheese Naan and Cheesy Chips being a personal favourite. The pricing range was fairly cheap, with most dishes costing less than £5. The Lamb is the most expensive, at £7.45, which is an excellent price range for those seeking a desi breakfast or afternoon high tea.
As I mentioned before, after half 6, where parking is free, the mood grew quite lively. I felt the presentation was nice, I liked Lotus Biscoff's appearance, and it tasted even better. The service was excellent as well since I had no trouble getting a table or placing my order. We weren't rushed, so I was able to enjoy myself while filming the menu items and spending time with my wife.
