The Spot Fast Food & Shisha Lounge in Barking

Ah, The Spot Fast Food & Shisha Lounge in Barking – it's one of those hidden gems that you stumble upon and think, 'Why haven't I been here sooner?' From what I've gathered chatting about it, the shisha really shines as the star of the show, with folks raving about it being the best in East London, which is brilliant if you're in the mood for a relaxing puff. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and dishing out top service that makes you feel looked after, paired with some seriously tasty food and a cracking coffee to boot. It's open seven days a week from early morning till late, so it's spot on for a spontaneous meet-up. But, let's be straight, there was that one review where the shisha fell flat, leaving a bad taste – it seems like consistency might be a bit of a challenge there. Plus, with not much of an online footprint, it can feel a tad under the radar, which might put some off if they're after more info before heading out. All in all, it's worth a visit for a laid-back evening, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a whale of a time.
