“We came here for my friends 40th! We were placed in one of the cosy booths upstairs. Such a lovely quirky restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and served us straight away. Good was delicious especially the steak! Cooked to perfection! Prices really reasonable. We all had a great time and the live singer was a great touch too.”

“One of my office colleagues invited me to lunch and I was really impressed by the food quality and taste of Tortilla Burritos at Boxpark Croydon. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is good and you get an amazing atmosphere at Boxpark. Overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this place.”

“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!”

“The one on Ruskin Parade us closed. Perhaps s change of name or shut for good. There's another one on London Road with the same name. There's Terra House, a Romanian shop and bakery on Brighton Road on the left hand side as we face the North before the Bridge and Nuevo Ponte Restaurant.”

“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.”

“The meal was perfect and delicious! Enjoying the food whilst feeling amazing with the lovely and friendly staff! Keep it up, and wish to see you soon again!”

“Had the vegetarian pho, it was fresh and flavoursome, big portion, served quickly and hot with friendly riendly polite service. With so many chain restaurants around these days this place is a really good independent alternative, highly recommend you try this place next time you fancy noodles or rice in Croydon!”

“Taste of India is the perfect spot to fill our hearts if we are away from home and missing our food. The quality of their dishes and service is highly excellent, and they provide unique dishes that are hard to find elsewhere. Also interesting is their setting and interior decor , which reflects Indian culture.”

“Today I had unusual Turkish food. This guy has been here since 2001 and met the owner. Very nice some people should make a visit to this Mazi Restaurant in west Croydon.”

“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.”

“This restaurant is superb. Everything is homemade, even the chilli and garlic sauces, and the meat is wonderfully spiced and flavoursome. It is family run and operated and the pride that goes into the food and service is apparent. I would not hesitate to dine here again and to recommend this place to friends and family.”

“We are visiting Croydon and visited Thai Express at Boxpark as we love Thai food. The pad-Thai was delicious. As it is express they have a clever straightforward menu. Waiting time for cooking fresh was around 8 minutes which was a good time whilst we walked around Boxpark. The atmosphere was unique at Boxpark. Better go and visit to experience it.”

“This restaurant is more than twice the distance of my local one but so worth the extra travel time. The dim sum was exceptional, very high quality and well made. It was also very good value compared to the nearest biggest dim sum restaurant. An unexpected added bonus was the Saturday 1pm raffle which was good fun and very generous of the restaurant. Staff and service was great too. No dedicated parking is the only negative. I highly recommend and I will be returning again soon.”

“I recently dined at Crown & Pepper, and I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by one of the staff members. From the moment we were seated, Rohit went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. No matter how many questions we had about the menu, ingredients, or even recommendations, Rohit was always there with a friendly smile and a detailed answer. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they patiently explained everything we needed to know, making sure we felt comfortable with our choices. Whether it was dietary restrictions, customization requests, or even just curious inquiries about the dishes, they were attentive and accommodating every step of the way. What really stood out was their genuine enthusiasm for making our experience enjoyable. They checked on us regularly, ensuring our needs were met without being overbearing. The level of care and attentiveness we received was truly above and beyond. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to customer satisfaction, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a dining experience where you feel truly taken care of, I highly recommend visiting crown & pepper and asking for Rohit. Their exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back thanks to their outstanding hospitality.”

““The burger was juicy and full of flavour, and the chips were perfectly crispy. Portion size was just right and everything came out hot and fresh. A really satisfying meal — would definitely come back!” Thanks Aziz for your kindness Service”

“The food here is truly authentic—every bite took me back to my Persian roots. The flavors were spot-on, prepared with such care and respect for tradition. The staff were warm and attentive, treating everyone like family, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere made the evening feel special. As a Persian, it’s rare to find a place that captures our cuisine and hospitality so beautifully. I’m so grateful for this gem and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone craving a taste of home or a heartfelt meal!”

“I went with my cousin on a last minute date night, we had assorted Pepper soup and spicy Pomo for starters and Abula for main, I must say it was absolutely delicious!! The meat was succulent and the vibe was immaculate, staff were friendly and helpful. If you’re in Croydon and want Nigerian meal will definitely recommend. The chapman was refreshing too, will be visiting again”

“It was Lunar New Year and so I decided I'd try Wei Dao and I took some fortune cookies with me too. The ladies working there were really nice. It was not busy on Friday night, I encourage people to dine in and ditch the takeaways. It's reasonably priced and had some fun pop tunes playing in the background.”

“I’m a regular customer at Domino’s and I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed. The shop is always spotless and beautifully kept, and the staff are absolutely lovely—so helpful and welcoming every single time. They always greet me with the biggest smile, which really makes a difference. As for the pizzas? Perfect, every time. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Couldn’t ask for better service or food. Highly recommend!”
