Authentic eating in Croydon

“Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“I love this restaurant!! The food and service is excellent!! I would eat here ever! So much love and good quality food”

“Excellent pizza place, toppings are fresh and not greasy. Went there just before closing time, the cook made a small mistake and broke one of the sizes on a 15" he then gave a medium also for free I didn't even ask or would have noticed. Great customer service from a returning customer. Thank you.”

“Highly recommended – a solid 10 out of 10 and definitely worth a try. It’s a long-missed taste of Asia. The laksa is outstanding, the stir-fried ho fun is full of wok hei, and the Malaysian white coffee is excellent. All that, and the prices are very reasonable too.”

“This app is so useful. I save a lot money for my takeaway food bills.”

“Great gyros, fries and salad. Tzatziki that was so creamy it's to die for and my favourite Greek soft drink Loux orange - forget fanta!”

“Wonderful food and great prices - if you want to taste true authentic Pakistani food this is your go to place! The staff are so friendly and nice and the food is amazing. The lamb Nihari, biryani and Payee are the best I’ve ever tasted! I always book in family orders and events through Zaika, never had any complaints only praise. Thank you as always!”

“Never fails in any aspect!!!! 100% recommend it’s not only halal but as well ask fresh everytime!! And very clean surroundings, love this place a lot always enjoy their food even nicer coming back to smiling faces all times as the staff in there is really lovely too!”

“Finally a great pizza delivery / takeaway in Croydon. The pizza is very good, note:the pizza is not Neapolitan style. You can order online or at the place, the products are fresh and good quality. The desserts are also good. You can also buy Italian beers and wines. Recommended, I will come back soon.”

“The best Chinese I have ever ordered. Literally amazing, so fresh and so tasty, I don't think they even use MSG. Family run, cooked with love. This place is so good it is so dangerous. Love it!”

“Delicious food. Great portions at affordable prices. I'd like to go again. Thank you.”

“Just had a lovely dinner with the family at Sanderstead Tandoori. Massive thanks to Jay for the impeccable hospitality and recommendations as it was our first time in his restaurant. The king prawn sizzler is a must try! Absolutely delightful. We had a wide array of curries which packed fantastic flavour and generous amounts of lamb and chicken. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious food - best we’ve had in ages!!”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“I had been coming to the Dog and Bull for years before the Refurb and always found it charming. I returned in May to a bright and vibrant garden, dubbed 'the wilderness' the new booths were a welcome upgrade and made the space feel substantial! Besides the cosmetic changes, I have grown to love this pub in my home town of Croydon even more than I did before! We've been so lucky to have an amazing summer and it's been great to see this pub so close to my heart packed out with new and returning people each week! I have been raving about The Dog since May and have invited all my uni mates who talk down on Croydon to have a drink with me There, they've all eaten their words and finally seen the charm that Croydon has that is encapsulated in what I think is the best pub in central Croydon! The staff are friendly and make everyone feel like they're in their local and they have live DJ sets, with music I wish more places would play (deep cuts of Garage, R&B, Jungle…list goes on). I wanted to write this review as we always complain when we don't like an establishment but never give praise to environments where we feel comfortable and want to return to so thank you to all the staff at The Dog and I'm sure you'll be seeing me again in the near future.”

“I’m loving these little gem popping up locally and what amazing food Really seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The chef is brilliant and the atmosphere is tranquil I would recommend this place to anyone The kısır was delightful and the Adana and chicken shish was spot on and I was very impressed.”

“fresh food an quickly made and good price. thank you”

“Really enjoyed the doner kebab here - well prepared, full of flavour, and served fresh. The portion was satisfying and everything tasted spot on. Extra credit to Areeba, our server, who was polite, attentive, and made the visit even more pleasant.”

“Fantastic, fabulous pint of Guinness”

“This Chinese is very good I recommend to every 1 the boss is a man of his word he gave me chicken ball instead of prawn balls I told Hindi rectify and he did the food taste amazing the young girl also is very nice !! I just recently moved to area . I love it!”

“Do not judge a book by its cover! Absolutely fantastic proper authentic Chinese full of flavour & very large portions! Pricing is too low for the Quality! I’ve been to plenty of high end Chinese restaurants & honestly this compares ! A little gem of a takeaway”

“Best Sri Lankan place nice dosa. Friday lunch menu for set price is great.”

“A good quality freshly made doner and other grilled items. The only thing is the wait time is usually higher than other restaurants since they make most of foods fresh. Other than that, everything is good and quality is awesome. It is few of the HMC certified shops in Croydon. Overall good.”

“First time using Ranna Ghor. We had one issue - received chicken Tikka Masala instead of paneer. I called the restaurant and they were genuinely sorry and very apologetic and got us a replacement promptly. How they react to a problem is often how I judge a place and this was good customer service. As for the food... excellent all round and we will definitely use again. Impressed!”
