OUR STORY · ROMFORD, ESSEX
About AVA Steakhouse and Grill
A premium dining destination in the heart of Romford. Built on quality, service, and a genuine passion for exceptional food.
Where AVA Began
AVA Steakhouse and Grill was founded with a single purpose: to create a dining experience in Romford that could stand alongside the best restaurants in London. Not just in terms of the food, but in the atmosphere, the service, and the attention to every detail.
We chose South Street because Romford deserves a restaurant of this calibre. Close to the Elizabeth Line, at the heart of Essex, it is a location that connects us to guests from across East London and beyond.
Since opening, we have built a loyal following of guests who return month after month — and we take that as the greatest compliment we could receive. Our 4.7-star rating on Tripadvisor and ranking as one of the top restaurants in Romford reflects the work our entire team puts in, every service, without exception.
What We Stand For
Three values guide everything we do at AVA — from how we source our food to how we treat our guests.
01
Uncompromising Quality
From Black Onyx and Wagyu to seasonal British beef, every cut is selected with care. Our kitchen team prepares each dish with the same precision, whether the table is for two or twenty.
02
Genuine Hospitality
Our front-of-house team is trained to be present without being intrusive — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your visit memorable.
03
A Sense of Occasion
We believe dining out should feel special. AVA is designed to create that feeling — from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave.
Designed to Be Different
AVA was never meant to be just another restaurant. We set out to build something that Romford had not seen before — and the response from our guests has made every effort worthwhile.
