Green Cafe

Green Cafe is a Pakistani and South Asian cafe on Ilford Lane serving halal breakfast, chai, and light meals to the surrounding Loxford community throughout the day. The kitchen produces simple, affordable plates — omelette with paratha, nihari for early meals, fried items, and hot drinks — making it a useful stop for workers and shoppers on the Lane at any hour. The counter format and modest prices reflect the working-class character of the Ilford Lane corridor, which runs south from the High Road through the heart of one of outer east London's most concentrated South Asian communities. Open from early morning; takeaway and collection only.
