The Second Wife - Newham

Stay away from this disgusting Restaurant in Pondicherry Promenade area. visited twice and both times terribly disappointed with pathetic food and staff.Worst stale idlis, rock hard rasamalai.Vosit this place at ur peril!!!

Been a few times now, as location is convenient and I must admit the service has been acceptable when met with the possibly the owner. However, on a few occasions I have been served by the younger male member who has been rude several time, but the last time was the worse and I decided not to go back. By far the worst customer service experienced !!

Visited the second wife for full English breakfast, prices are reasonable, the food was super and the portion size was great. Service was top notch and efficient ‍ Loved the chai latte The guy heard this and gave a complimentary chai latte which was very kind and thoughtful! I would recommend this place I will be back for the sausages Thank You

Firstly the hospitality was fantastic here. Seating was cosy a bit cold however the staff tried there best to heat up the place. Food was good as well, just the cold room got everything cold quick. Prices were very good also.

My husband and I went for lunch to The Second Wife and since it was hot we went to sit in the garden area but still it was quite hot so we moved inside. Still it was quite warm so the hostess suggested we go down to the basement. That was like paradise. They had air conditioners on and the environment was very comfortable. In the garden area they had a large screen TV and no fans or other form of air conditioning and inside the only air coming in was from either of the two doors on either end of the restaurant. The basement was just perfect for a hot summer afternoon. We ordered Hummous and Falafel for our meal and I ordered a lemon mint drink (iced drink). The food was very high quality and quite reasonable. The Hummous was definitely one of the best I have tasted in London restaurants and the Falafel was quite warm and crisp. The drink was made fresh and tasted divine in the heat of the afternoon. The waiter who served us was very professional and pleasant. The environment in the basement is very comfortable with soft cushions and benches that one can stretch on completely. It was a very good experience and I would highly recommend it for breakfast, lunch and dinner or just snacks. Either for couples, small families or large groups. Since then we have gone twice more (once for breakfast and once for snacks). Both times we really enjoyed the experience.
