Authentic culinary experiences in Richmond

“had such a lovely meal here, selena our waitress was fabulous as are all the staff, the restaurant is so cute and the portions are perfect! would defo recommend”

“We visited as a party of 6 without having booked and they were able to accommodate us in spite of being quite busy. We ordered starters and a main course and all really enjoyed our meals. the restaurant was clean, well decorated and had gentle music playing in the background which provided a very nice atmosphere. The meal was excellent value.”

“Had a spontaneous lunch at Gaucho today with a friend and our server, Mathew, was absolutely fantastic. He’s easily one of the best waiters I’ve ever had — warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. He made sure we were comfortable and checked in throughout without ever being intrusive. His service really made our experience special, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dining here! Wishing you all the best Mathew!!”

“Very good food and we were given a free water very friendly staff who were there to help”

“My husband and I loved dining at this steakhouse! We ordered the Buenasado Grill on the board, and it was delicious! I think it could have had more sausage because it was really tasty! The meats were cooked to perfection, and the provoleta was amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful and pleasant, and the staff were super friendly and polite! We loved”

“Atmosphere-superb. Food-superb. Customer service-superb. Deliberating where to have lunch, looking at the menu here when the waiter approached us. The warm welcome lured us in and we were not disappointed. Recommendations for drinks, a very well looked after 9 year old and plates finished. Not residents of London but frequent visitors. This place will be on our list to visit again. Check out their offers if you need a little push!”

“An excellent restaurant with brilliant service and great sanitation. We felt looked after and safe the entire evening! Food was one of the best we have had in London. We got the aloo tiki chaat, papdi chat, salmon, shashlik and terichelly prawns for the starter and we were blown away by the authentic flavours. My favourite would have to be the aloo tiki chaat and the prawns. Everything tasted fresh and tender with perfectly balanced flavours. For the main meal, we got the methi gobi, chettinad, butter chicken and dal makhani with rice, naan and paratha; all were superb! There was a range of spice levels and something for everyone in the family, veg and non-veg. The portions were a great size and the presentation of the food and drinks made the evening even better. I am normally quite particular and uncompromising about food but I have never been so impressed. We will definitely revisit many more times in the future.”

“Extremely good quality food and generous portions. I'm a minicab driver, have eaten from a lot of places and this is one of the best!”

“Wow, honestly what can I say. Understated location which packs a punch!! From the second you walk in, greeted by Zam and Sumit who were the best hosts all evening. But even the exceptional service was outshone by the supreme quality of the food. Unable to fault start to finish. Flavours like nothing else in the area. A must visit!!”

“Really great Chinese takeaway. Much better than some of the other Chinese takeaways in the area that I've tried, and at a competitive price. I'll definitely be back as long as quality stays consistent.”

“What a hidden gem in Putney! The food was incredible and packed with flavour. The staff were kind and attentive, and it was a real value for money. Highly recommend the poppadoms as a starter!”

“The food was amazing . Specially the chicken biryani. The chicken was so tender and soft, just fell off the bone. The staff was also very friendly and hard working.”

“We came here for dinner via the Fork. Place is close to Richmond station with free parking nearby after 4:30pm. We got the poppadum. We had the pani puri, sheekh kebab and paneer tikka. All were great with a kick to it. For the main we got Lamb saag and chicken curry with naan and rice. The food was quite spicy and flavourful. Bill was around £55 which is reasonable.”

“Excellent Food! Unfortunately, I had to wait a long time for my main course. But it's worth it”

“Quality. Variety. Been going here for a couple of decades. Consistently excellent. Always a nice welcome and attentive and confident service. Really good breakfast choices. Wide salad selection. Just addicted !”

“I've been eating and taking away from this restaurant almost from the time I moved to Putney 57 years ago. Thetford has always been delicious, the service unfailingly professional but friendly and the portions more than generous. I love it.”

“I recently ordered from Rosana Spice for a Wednesday night dinner and was really impressed. The food was phenomenal: fresh, tasty, and beautifully cooked.especially butter chicken was so good the sauce was creamy and full of that classic Indian flavor I’ll definitely be trying more from their menu.”

“Very nice little Thai restaurant run by 3 adorable ladies. Watch out when they bring out the sizzling beef and its smoke haha but beside that the dishes are tasty, the service attentive and the room not too loud. The Menu A Standard is perfect selection. The soup and the curry were delicious. The Ice cream is not very exciting though. Conveniently located less than 10 min walk from Richmond station.”

“I never enjoyed soft shell crab like how we did at Yum Sa. Every item we ordered tasted great and nothing disappointed. The best items we had were the satay chicken, grilled prawns, and the soft shell crab. Massaman curry was good too. Jungle curry was alright. The cocktails were also good with their unique twist on the traditional cocktails. Do note the pictures of the food are outdated as it looks like they may have changed their menu. For instance we wanted to try their pad Thai wrapped in omelette but didn't see that particular dish in the menu. There is a pad Thai but there was no mention of omelette in it. So we didn't order it. Also we went in assuming the portion size are also small based on the images but when the food looked much bigger when we saw the food in front of our eyes. So order accordingly.”

“We came for a "proper Sunday roast" and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal and service equally wonderful. We split a beef roast, mussels and smoked salmon pate for our family of 3. We finished with the Christmas pudding. It was more than enough and each dish was spot on! The staff were friendly and attentive and the ambiance was everything one would hope for an English pub. Highly recommend!”

“This is a very cosy delicatessen with a great range of Italian products in accessible prices, classics such as Pan di Stelle (my favourite) but also with a carefully selected and sourced choice of cheese and ham from Italy and many other great gourmet foods (Sicilian olive oil and pistachio cream changed my life ”

“Very tasty food and pleasant service! Thank you very much! I will come back to you again”

“Malaysian cuisine! Friendly staff and makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable to dine in. Try Makan Makan Fried Rice and tea (hand mixed by Michelle) There's also a Fried Mars Bar!? Worth a try! Restaurant is a bit small with about 5 tables. Reasonably priced.”

“We had an afternoon shindig at Mamma Mia's after my dad's funeral as it was the place Mike and Betty loved most in EastSheen. Rosa's Puglia inspired food was wonderful, and Leo kept our glasses of Chilled Prosecco topped up, bless him. Can't recommend it enough.”

“The best chinese I've ever ever eaten,and i consider my self a chinese connoisseur,so i know my stuff when it comes to chinese food,worth travelling 250mile for, that's for sure.100 percent home made food ,highly highly recommended, will definitely come again !”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“Fantastic food & vibe! First time trying a Maki roll: massive, extremely tasty, 100% recommend! Will certainly be back for more!”

“Had a fabulous lunch here today to celebrate Chinese New year. It was all good the but the whole steamed seabass was exceptional. It was cooked to perfection. Moist and juicy and full of flavour!”

“Enjoyed yet another great value and tasty meal this evening, restaurant buzzing. Special dish of the day Thai fishcakes are the best I've had anywhere. Courteous staff even when rushed off their feet this Friday evening. At the moment the best restaurant in East Sheen - and exceptional value for money, and quality of cooking consistently high.”

“Bengal Village has been my favourite takeaway for the 30 years I’ve lived in Richmond. Always absolutely delicious and lovely staff.”
