Authentic taste in Kingston Upon Thames

“Found this amazing shop in old London road…. A true authentic store selling unique clothes and gifts, with really great customer service . Well worth a visit”

“Had a fantastic meal here. The staff were warm and attentive without being pushy, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and everything came out quickly and fresh, chef Ahmed is very attentive and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“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”

“Arrived unannounced with 7 people and a dog, and they catered with no questions. GM came over to meet the pooch. Maria was super attentive and our fresh, oven-baked pizzas were out in 7 minutes. A brilliant overall experience for a saturday lunch! Will be back.”

“This place changed hands recently (late 2023), so the previous photos and reviews are no longer relevant. It is still a Korean restaurant, now called Yami. It now has Korean BBQ, Sushi, Korean fried Chicken, Bibimbap etc. It does lack some dishes the old place had (no Gimbap or udon soups) but is still good food and inexpensive. £20 for half a fried chicken and Bibimbap.”

“I rate 5 star for the service as all the staff are fantastic, 5 stars for the lovely cakes, but sadly, only a 1 star for the atmos/ambience because the new owners, I believe, decided to remove the beautiful piano that I used to adore playing there. Also it was linked to constant background piano notes, cleverly playing out of the piano while no one played it. That really was quite relaxing and unique whilst enjoying the food and cakes, and after my weekly office job , I would look forward to my visits there at the weekends to unwind and sometimes play.. A great hub and centrepiece has been ripped out of the heart of the cafe. It blended in very well and also was a fine backdrop against the old churchyard opposite through the tall windows. I just was preparing my Xmas carols repertoire and some more new lyrics when I visited there last Saturday, but my piano was gone!”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“I visited Bindaas Kingston Restaurant with my family on December 14th 2025, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home—their hospitality was truly outstanding and created a welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. The menu has a variety of options, and each item we ordered exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Bindaas Kingston Restaurant for anyone looking for great food and a friendly, welcoming place to dine. We will definitely be returning, and I encourage others to visit as well!”

“The margarita pizza was truly Italian, Arrabiata pasta & Carbonara pasta(custom made the way i wanted it) just made me feel like i was eating in Italy. The restaurant owners who run it are also so friendly and its interior is nicely decorated with a touch of Italian vibes.”

“We had a wonderful experience at To Kefi! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special thank you to our waitress Romina, who was so sweet and kind — she looked after us and our two girls beautifully. She even arranged for the chef to make some pasta for our little one, which we really appreciated. Thanks also to the chef for going out of her way! Excellent service and lovely people — we’ll definitely be back!”

“Great place for a quick meal. Foods are tasty at a good price. But you may have to have your food quickly when you dine in. Otherwise, the pigeons nearby may ask you to share your food with them LOL”

“Ranya Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The service is attentive, respectful, and genuinely caring without ever feeling rushed. The food is absolutely delicious, and my favorite dish was the Pacha Tashreeb. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, with amazing depth of taste. The bread soaked up the broth beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. You can really tell it’s made with care and authentic tradition. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and ideal for families or casual dining. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend Ranya Restaurant, especially if you want to try an outstanding Pacha Tashreeb. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Excellent food with a balance of spice and the fresh taste of the meat, especially spring lamb. Kingfisher and nice people there.”

“Good food！the drink and desert is so beautiful and attentive. The food is also very delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. The staff inside is super enthusiastic and friendly, and the recommended dishes and wine are so impressive. I really like it!”

“The food here is delicious and authentic. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s one of my go to places to have dinner, out. I highly recommend the Stir Fried Glass noodles dish with beef as well as any Pho. The portions are also a great size and the staff is always kind, friendly and quick.”

“Been a regular here for years and you’re probably thinking why I haven’t left a review. Because the FOOD always gets the best of me and it’s all I can think about. It sends me to another dimension eating their food. Highly recommend their chicken tikka biriyani as it’s one of a kind and one you will not want to miss. Cheeky bugger even comes with a veggie curry which is just the cherry on top. Takeaway is family friendly as well - everytime I come with my kids, one of the chefs always gives them sweets or a chocolate bar. Lovely stuff from the team at Alamin and thank you for your service.”

“Had the gyros here and they were amazing, super authentic and full of flavor. The staff were really friendly and made the whole experience feel genuine. Definitely one of those spots you’ll want to come back to, and I’d always come back.”

“We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Pizza Express yesterday, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Ashley and Greg were absolutely amazing , truly wonderful people. Their service was exceptional: warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. They made the whole evening special for us, and thanks to them, we had an unforgettable night. This was honestly the best Pizza Express I’ve ever visited. We loved them and appreciated their positive energy so much. Highly recommend — Ashley and Greg made our visit perfect!”

“Went here for my sisters birthday, we normally go Persian palace but as we are in the area, we thought to give this place a try. Service is as amazing, can’t remember the name of the waitress but she was professional, helpful and offered suggestions. Food was good, service good, chocolate cake was good and it was in a great location.”

“Always 5* - my favourite takeaway”

“A vibe! Food was great and the interior aesthetic was definitely insta-worthy! We ordered: Elote, Chimichangas, Beef burrito, prawn tacos, and Churros for dessert. Also the chicken taco from the kids menu - best Mexican food we've had in a long time, everything was zingy and fresh, and not stodgy or packet-tasting. Especially recommend the prawn tacos. Staff are friendly and attentive. Price was fair for what was offered. Nothing else like this in West London, particularly grateful that it's Halal! Will definitely be back with friends!”

“The best Chinese takeaway in the area. We only ever order from them. The Monks Vegetables is a great option for Veggies!”

“Friendly staff. A large choice of dishes to choose from as well as desserts. It has a nice atmosphere and the staff keep your table clear of empty plates and glasses. Would recommend if you are in Kingston”

“Outstanding catering service which I used for birthday event. Nafí and team were very helpful from the start, helping with menu sampling, organising menu adaptations for vegan, food allergies etc, professional and friendly service on the day. The food was exceptional! Pretty much all guests commented on how delicious the food was. Also reasonably priced compared to other services I had looked at. Strongly recommend!”

“Delicious anchovy, caper pizza served at comfy sofa seat in cinema accompanied by cool Cornish cider- what a treat! Interesting eating in the dark so employ taste over visual. Therefore no criticism as per last review of whether the topping reached the edge etc. it just tasted great! Agree thin base, which suits me as not a fan of thick heavy dough - topping is best bit! Mmmm Really enjoyed and will be back! Thanks to all the lovely helpful staff.”
