Smokoloko, nestled in London's vibrant Spitalfields market, has earned rave reviews for its barbecue delights. Customers are consistently impressed with the speed and warmth of service, even during peak hours. Louie Hext praises their chicken and steak rice box for its juicy, flavorful meats. The accompanying selection of sauces enhances the rounded meal, striking a balance that avoids greasiness.

Fans of brisket will find a standout in Smokoloko's offerings. SY lauds the brisket sandwich for its perfect seasoning and juiciness, while X describes the brisket wrap as extraordinarily tender and smoky. The caramelized onion adds a delightful contrast, and the flatbread is robust yet stretchy, although some find it a tad oily at the bottom.

Another highlight is the affordable pricing, with Luca Lozzi remarking on the value for money at £13 for a generously sized wrap. The atmosphere, enriched by the unique sight of the locomotive smoker, complements the outdoor dining experience. Overall, Smokoloko delivers on flavor and experience, making it a must-visit for barbecue aficionados.

Food came warm and quick, not much of a queue even on Thursday lunchtime. I went for the chicken and steak rice box, both the meats were juicy and flavourful. I prefer the chicken personally. They also have a selection of sauces to add to your meal. Definitely recommend! It came with a salad and some slaw as well. Rounded meal and not too greasy.

Ordered first a mix box with chicken and steak which was really good, and then came back to order a second time with the brisket sandwich. I had to say that all was very tasty and among all the meat my favourite was the brisket, it was well seasoned and cooked perfectly and very juicy in every bite. The potato in the salad box was also surprisingly good.

Mixed chicken and brisket in wrap. 100% beef fan but added chick just to feel healthy. Both are beautifully smoky. Brisket is super tender and melts in the mouth, and the chicken isn’t too dry. Caramelized onion is sweet and not greasy. No extra sauce is needed. Since so many people have said good words about the flatbread, I decided to skip the side salad— and I was surprised that there is more than the sample suggests ;) The bread is no disappointment, stretchy and offers a good bite. Still tastes alright even though it cools down rapidly in this weather. The bottom half is too oily so I didn’t eat it. The price is not cheap (but still similar to market stalls). The locomotive smoker is of course interesting to watch.

Incredibile, absolutely incredible. We walked by Smokoloko a few time and we were always intrigued by the amazing smell that came from the meeting on the grill. Food: We had a brisket wrap and it was spectacular to say the least. The meet itself is tender, juicy and really tasty. It comes with a wrap that is slightly charred on the grill, it has a great texture and the taste is quite plain, balancing out the meet. Venue: All of this amazing food is coming out of a small food stand in Spitalfields market. Price: Fair price, really fair! We paid 13 for a decently sized wrap.

Really good BBQ boxes with meat, veg, rice or potatoes. Add the sauce to amp up the flavor. We got a brisket box and it was smoked to perfection, we thought the potatoes were a great accompaniment to the meat and the slaw was also tasty. There are benches around where you can enjoy your meal.

Amazing BBQ, some of the best quality and flavour I’ve ever had. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area, even worth a special trip.

Absolutely phenomenal. The best sandwich I think I’ve ever had. Chicken and brisket sandwich (regular - 13) stuffed to the brim with perfectly seasoned juicy chicken and melt in your mouth brisket, with sweet roasted onions and fresh rocket. The picture only shows half of it! They also have taters of the meat so you can try before you buy. Such value for money, can’t recommend enough.

I’m a regular of Smokoloko, and brought countless friends to enjoy their brisket and steak. If you’re a meat lover this is one of the places you have to visit.
