Afters Original Ilford

Afters on Ilford Lane is a dessert parlour serving the South Asian sweet-tooth crowd on the lower stretch of the Lane. The menu centres on falooda — the South Asian milk-based dessert layered with basil seeds, rose syrup, and vermicelli — alongside mango milkshakes, flavoured ice-cream scoops, and fresh waffles topped with sauce and cream. Reviewers praise the mango milkshake as tasting of real fruit rather than concentrate, and the hazelnut ice cream with whipped cream as a standout. The falooda is rated among the better versions in outer east London. Everything is made fresh to order rather than pre-prepared; late evenings on the Lane bring a steady queue. Takeaway focused.
