Authentic experience in Surbiton

“Family favourite! We've been coming here for years and the food has always been good. We highly recommend the Lamb Shank Jalfrezi and the Tandoori King Prawn. But all the food is very good. We really appreciate that since the pandemic they haven't raised their prices and the food is still great quality. The service is always very good and thoughtful too. We will always rave about The Agra!”

“Used to come here occasionally as a child growing up in the 70s/80s. Moved back to Surbiton with my own family several years ago and was so happy to see they were still going strong. Have been coming here ever since. Dishes taste fantastic, quality is consistent, prices are very reasonable, preparation is fast and staff are friendly. Tried other Chinese takeaways in the area but none of them come close. A real jewel. Bravo, guys.”

“Really nice local Indian restaurant. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Prices are a must. Always go for the Garlic Naan and the Chutney Tray. Malayan chicken and Biryani.”

“I went to this place before my shift finished to order some food and told the boy serving i would be back in 10-15min.It was quiet and The boy was serving on his own at the front (young boy, named Janes, sorry for misspelling). He was giving fast and friendly service and apparently also doing deliveroo orders! He had my food ready by the time i came back and he kept it warm on the side for me. Portioning was great! Nice detail to write “Enjoy” on the lid :)”

“Just bought Chana (chick peas) chaat and it’s delicious as always. Seriously really yummy if you haven’t tried. Hopefully will be ordering samosa in bulk for a small gathering. Thank you to staff who are very honest and helpful.”

““I had the absolute pleasure of trying the Persian pizza at Village Pizza in Surbiton, and it was truly outstanding. This pizza took me straight back home with its nostalgic flavors and that special touch that only authentic Persian-style pizza can bring. The service was equally fantastic—especially the lady behind the counter, who I believe is the owner. She made the whole experience warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend Village Pizza enough if you’re looking for a delicious slice of something special. Five stars all the way!””

“Idk why everyone is hating, me and my boyfriend LOVE THIS PLACE! I can’t stress enough how good it is, how affordable, and how big the portions are! That’s why I put some pics of my takeaway tonight and how it ended up. I hope this review is proof enough of how good it is.”

“Booked a table last minute at The French Table and they manage to accommodate us for a colleagues birthday , from start to finish everything was merticulous. Great ambiance and the place is not overcrowded with many tables, they have 2 floors but the place is not too big. I asked for extras to be added on our table and in under 30 minutes they delivered. We had personalised menues with colleagues name on it. Everything i asked for, they delivered. Would definately visit again. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Michelin type of a restaurant. Tasting menus, wine paring, good food, everything is just so done to perfection, the staff are so friendly.”

“A proper coffee house which has very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They can tell you where the coffee is sourced (all of it is Colombian), the story behind the location & the processes undertaken. They actually roast all of their beans in house which gives it a very fresh and flavourful taste. The staff will help you identify what beans that would suit your coffee choice best, I.e americano, flat white etc. Really recommend visiting the cafe to sit in or take coffee for your commute from Berrylands. They also offer various pastries and snacks etc to complement your choice. I feel like that this is an independent cafe not to be missed, with expertise and flavours which will not be found at a local chain coffeehouse!”

“Had a great experience at choppers today. Was a little embarrassed about the state of my hair since having a baby but felt totally comfortable and at ease after the time was taken to discuss my new look. Couldn’t be happier with my hair now. Lovely shape, not too much off the length but lots of layers. Unlike some hairdressers that tell you it’s dead and needs to be short I left with a lovely look and fully trusted their expert opinion. Will absolutely be retuning. Thank you xx”

“Just stopped on a Friday lunchtime to have some pizzas, they were delicious, on par with pizzas we’ve had in Italy, the best pizza we’ve had so far in surbiton/london! Highly highly reccomend!! The staff were lovely and welcoming; will definitely be returning and telling my friends about it! So lovely!”

“What a wonderful little restaurant! Despite having very high expectations due to all the great reviews, my family and I were still surprised at how great this place was. The sashimi pieces were lovely and thick, their signature rolls were delicious but our favourite was the udon (unfortunately not pictured as we were too busy slurping it up!)- the noodles were cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this place for the delicious food and the lovely attentive staff!”

“Food was absolutely fantastic, staff were so lovely - was a perfect place for dinner, will definitely be coming back We ordered the beef and chicken pho with summer rolls - everything was delicious”

“This restaurant is amazing! Such yummy food at reasonable prices. Loved it! Every dish was super tasty and the portion size was as also good. It had cozy and nice ambiance with great staff taking care of the customers promptly. We ordered quite a number of dishes and each one was wonderful and worth it!! Will definitely visit again!!”

“We are a regular customer for teas and coffees and it’s our first year getting our Christmas tree. Wonderful, friendly service. We had a lovely experience picking our tree and the staff made it very special for our kids. 100% recommend it”

“Excellent service by the hostess, nice coffee and pastisseries”

“OMG biltong, where have you been all my life??? Drop what you’re doing and visit the shop to try delicious and authentic produce. Staff is very knowledgeable and will recommend you good bits if you’re unsure what to get! I can’t wait to get back to try truffle biltong. Great for gifts chutneys groceries and bbq. Would highly recommend”

“My daughter did the summer holiday club to perform Moana in a week. Was the first time for her, she absolutely loved it! Teachers were really lovely, I was amazed what they achieved in a week.”

“One of my favourite places in Kingston/Surbiton. Freshly made dishes that taste amazing. Great customer service. A shot or two of limoncello after the dinner is a must”

“Cosy little restaurant, seems family run. Very enjoyable meal in a welcoming environment. Would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!”

“Came at 16:00 with my wife, the family run restaurant are nice and the food is authentic and great value. Casual dining that hits the spot in a peaceful environment.”

“The man serving my friends and I was very helpful in answering questions we had about the food. He was also very nice and funny. The portion sizes are good and very filling. Would come back again.”

“I wish I could give more stars for the service here. I booked the French tarte afternoon tea for my mum’s birthday in august, and the chef carefully curated alternatives to cater to my mum’s nut allergy. We were made to feel so comfortable, the service was the best and it felt as though our waiter could not do enough! We were also encouraged to take our time and enjoy every bite. The flavours were amazing and the homemade jam was so good! Will definitely be returning.”

“Popped in for lunch on the spur of the moment and thank goodness we did. We were greeted warmly and given the menu and chose, I had lamb souvlaki which was absolutely delicious, the chunks weren't massive like in other restaurants which I don’t like, they were cooked to perfection with strong Mediterranean flavours, my wife had a salad that had avocado and Halloumi with a trio of dips to go with again the flavours were perfect, the atmosphere was great and we will definitely be going again as it’s local for us. Thanks for a wonderful lunch”

“Disability accessible. Ground floor entrance. Toilets on the ground floor. Staff welcoming and excellent hosts, they were very attentive and we felt well cared for.. Clean and well organised. The food is fresh, delicious, and has a good portion. We had more than we could manage, and they provided takeaway trays so we could take it home. There are lots of options for vegetarians. They will also tailor your curry to your taste, i.e., add chillies, make it more spicy or hot for you. The best bit was the trays that were provided with the poppadoms. The variety of choices and flavours were really good. Best chutneys and presentation ever. The restaurant is on the main road with bus stops, which is good. They provide takeaways and plenty of seating for cosy small tables or large groups. We went early so and it was not full but it got busier as the evening went on. One thing I like is to listen to is Indian music, which adds to my experience of the culture and atmosphere. However, the music was cheesy pop like Taylor Swift, but it was not distracting. Thank you for the complimentary liquor and chocolates at the end of our meal.”

“Really good meal and great service. Had sesame prawn on toast for starter... one of the best I've had. Then beef salad and sizzling beef for mains. Followed by Mandarin souffle... all good!!!”

“An absolute gem of a family run restaurant. Been coming here for over 20 years. It has always been consistent over that time. Lovely menu, well cooked food excellent service. A very good set menu as well as a la carte.”

“Wow! Karla is the most fantastic employee! She was so polite, kind, attentive, and even helped us to find several items on the menu we absolutely loved that we’ve never heard of! This place is a must go, if only for the incredible staff! And wow is the coffee good too! The best I’ve had in England!”

“A little gem. Went here last night very friendly nice lady serving us we decided to have the Korean hot pot as we had never tried before and sounded really nice. We had to move tables as all are not equipped with heat for the hot pot but it wasn’t an issue. The food came quick and tasted absolutely delicious. On top of that it was pretty good value for money. A nice little place with nice staff and amazing food what more could you ask for. Will definitely be going back.”
