Tucked away in the corner of the Bow Triangle Business Centre on Eleanor Street (Unit 26, E3 4UR), Holy Smokes BBQ is one of those places that you’d easily miss if you didn’t know to look for it. Nestled in an industrial business park, it has that authentic, no-frills vibe — not much glamour from the outside, just a spot that clearly prioritizes the food over fancy surroundings. But once you step in (or order in), it’s clear why it’s gained such a loyal following, especially among halal BBQ and burger fans in East London.
A group of three of us visited recently, and we went straight for their smash burger lineup and loaded sides — and wow, they delivered.
I ordered the OG Smash Burger — classic smashed beef patties with that perfect crispy edge, melty American cheese, and all the right fixings. It hit every note you want from a smash: juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without being overly complicated. Highly recommended if you’re after a solid, no-nonsense burger.
My mates went for the Chilli Smash (a spicier kick with some serious heat that builds nicely) and their Rosemary and Thyme Fries — those herby, fragrant fries were a standout side, crispy and aromatic, a nice change from the usual.
We also shared the Dirty Fries, and these were next-level indulgent. Crunchy salted fries topped with smashed minced beef patty, cheese, pickles, and their signature coffee BBQ sauce — but the real winner was the rich gravy oozing at the bottom. It soaked into everything and added this deep, savory layer that made every bite addictive. Total comfort food heaven.
To wash it all down, we grabbed some Rubicon fruit sparkling drinks — the usual suspects like mango or passion fruit — which were perfectly refreshing and cut through all that richness.
The whole experience was great: generous portions, bold smoky flavors (they do proper low-and-slow halal BBQ here), and everything tasted fresh and made with care. It’s not a fancy sit-down spot — more of a takeaway-focused gem with a few tables — but that just adds to the charm. If you’re in East London and craving quality smash burgers, loaded fries, or their famous smoked brisket/ribs, make the detour to this tucked-away spot. It’s worth it.
Rating: 4.5/5 Hidden location, but unbeatable flavors — Holy Smokes is a proper East London find!
