Authentic experience in Thornton Heath

“I was put off by some of the reviews but recently went there while waiting for my car at the local mechanic. The food was really very nice, Maashaa Allah. Alhamdulillah. Have been back 3 or 5 times since. The chicken and lamb tikka Biryanis are both good and the chicken tikka roll was actually one of nicest chicken tikka rolls I've had anywhere from the places in the surrounding area. The vegetable samosa are also excellent. Perfect crispiness and taste for a veggie samosa, imo. The keer (Rice pudding?) is also very tasty. I'm not really much of a foodie but I'm writing this like one because the food was surprisingly good. Good atmosphere, nice inside, very clean and good seating. Staff are excellent as well. Five stars all around for me. Forgot to add that the pricing is quite low too, comparitively, so good value for money as well.”

“Excellent service, whenever I go to the supermarket. Now, if there is not the product I need, the secretary takes notes to place the order, she is extremely polite. I highly recommend.”

“Excellent food and excellent service. Owner is very polite and stuff are very helpful. She makes everything fresh from scratch so taste is excellent like home made. Restaurant is very clean and feels like home. Would definitely recommend to all❤️”

“I think I was in London for about 7 days, and that made it this place at least 6 times. Great place for Jamaican food.”

“Had a wonderful time at YahSo!! We booked a table. The food was on point, we had Ackee cigar (spring roll make with delicious ackee) & a callaloo (superior spinach) version. The spicing was excellent! For mains we had fish dishes… soooo good! Great portion sizes & sides of fried plantains, sweet potato fries & ripe avocado. Hmmmm, so tasty!! The birthday celebration that came with the dessert topped off the great caribbean decor & vibes… made the evening. Nice music. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely stunning! I've been looking for homestyle Gujarati food in London for years and I'm so thrilled to have found it. Tastes just like home!”

“LOVE IT best pizza takeaway near me i don't always have pizza but when i do I NEVER go elsewhere! i swear by this place - the one near me is so great i've even tried some further out. i am eating a margarita as we speak its so good. its warm its fresh its yum - its not too chewy or dry. it comes with my FAV FREE dip, its flavourful, the cheese tastes so nice. i always get the make your own as its worth the value (i add on SO many toppings) or i get margarita. i don't eat at other pizza places they're too greasy and this one isn't! love it id eat a pizza from here all day if i had to and i would even collab with them LMAO thats how much i love fireaway. ask my friends i always feed them these pizzas at parties and they have vegan and halal options for my besties :) nice seating area, lovely staff - i met the chef :) very sweet they even gave me FREE pizza once thank you ”

“For me personally I thoroughly enjoyed my order from Maks! My food was very good and arrived on time. I'm actually quite shocked by the average stars! Some of these 1 star reviews I find pretty 'stupid' I guess because it really shows how some people don't care about the people unless they are the people. I genuinely find reporting small businesses disgusting. For one dish? Clearly people love it so maybe it's just because it's different to what you normally eat so that's why you don't like it. Anyways I gave Maks 5 stars because they've never disappointed me!”

“I’ve been buying food online from the restaurant for more than 1 year and today I went in person and the food was even better! I always wondered why people complain about the restaurant knowing full well they’re complaining and still eating the meal and licking their fingers after it… sighh. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to buy Nigerian food, it has such a unique taste unlike any other.”

“Tandoori Corner never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, full of authentic flavors, and always served hot and fresh. Their tandoori dishes are especially amazing — juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They always greet you with a smile and make sure you’re comfortable and happy with your meal. It feels like they genuinely care about your experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining in with family, Tandoori Corner is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!”

“Portions are huge, staff was friendly and food was amazing! (I recommend spring rolls!) # DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS THEY ARE UTTERLY RIDICULOUS”

“I love their food and their customer services is amazing. I enjoy getting their gizzard and stick meats. Their meat pie, moi moi, puff puff, jollof rice and yam porridge is yum. Their chicken, shaki and pomo is nice. The place is very easy to locate near the road side and very near inside. I highly recommend this place.”

“Dhinchak is an exceptional Indian restaurant with fantastic food and outstanding service. Their Methi Bhajia is an absolute must-try—flavorful and perfectly cooked. The menu offers a wider variety of authentic Indian dishes than many other Indian restaurants, making it a standout choice. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, complemented by friendly and attentive staff who enhance the dining experience. The only minor drawback is the parking situation, as you may need to search nearby streets, which can occasionally take time. However, the delicious food and excellent service more than make up for it. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely amazing food outstanding customer service. Highly recommended”

“I recently ordered the mixed vegetable chow mein from New China Wok, and overall, it was a solid experience. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, still crisp, not overdone. The noodles had a nice texture, and the portion size was generous for the price. The flavor was mild but satisfying, though it could have used a bit more seasoning or sauce to make it stand out. The service was quick and friendly, and my order was ready on time. If you're looking for a simple, veggie-packed meal that's not too heavy, this is a good option. I'd definitely consider ordering from them again.”

“I’ve been ordering from these guys for around 8 years. The food is always amazing, the staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. Used to pop by on way home, now I’m living a little further away tend to get food delivered. Always a smiling face, great food, amazing flavours. Cannot rate these guy more highly”

“I go there everyday, it's the best food in the area. 5 stars for the food and customer service. Highly recommend”

“Excellent Food and services. Food was delicious. 10/10”

“First went here a few years ago as I found the name quite funny, didn't expect it to be any good from the reviews however this has vast become one of my favourite Chinese take aways to have, very tasty. The reason I don't go here often is the location is a little too far so if I ever am in that direction I definitely do stop in and grab something. Normally its through delivery. Though sometimes I wish the delivery costs was a bit lower due to how much you spend here as it isn't the cheapest chinese, however I do not mind as its very tasty never had any issues from here at all”
