Cozy lunch in Twickenham

“Best cafe I've been too in a long time. Highly recommended. Great food.”

“Absolutely love this restaurant, it is fantastic for veg and non veg entrees. We ordered the tandoori paneer—which came out in a sizzling iron platter, the stewed lamb curry, appetizer sampler and veg momos. Everything was so hot and delicious, flavors were phenomenal and we ordered a second round shortly after! Service was great too, we will definitely be back next time we’re in Twickenham.”

“Had a heavy night on the town? Here's a perfect place for a recovery breakfast. Friendly, reasonably priced and good sized meals.”

“I came here for England New Zealand first rugby match full stop the atmosphere was electric I'm used to Football Club's crashing but this was very different. Everybody got on it was very busy but you got served very quick at the bar”

“I’ve been here multiple times over the years and have always had first class service and quality food. The staff are always super welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is great. An absolute go to for our group of mates who come here for our reunion lunches and catch-ups. 100% recommend, especially if heading onto a rugby game afterwards! Looking forward to our next visit!”

“The Chicken fried rice is so far the best that I've tasted in London✨”

“What a pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door and seated by the friendly "Ben" who anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Ben brought us some complimentary warm focaccia and olives to nibble on while we made our menu choices. The menu has a good balance of dishes and I quickly decided on my choices along with a bottle of Ramaro for the table; I have a soft spot for Sicilian red wine. All dishes were well plated and tasted as good as they looked. The portions were also very generous, perhaps "Mama" was in the kitchen dishing the plates. After the meal, there was little room left for dessert, so I shared a panna cotta with my wife; I have to say that it was the best I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I didn't choose one of the seafood dishes, they looked realy appetizing. My relationship with crustacions has always been one where no matter what precautions I take while shelling them, a jet of oil always squirts out and slashes me on my shirt. Perhaps next visit I'll wear on old shirt or a bib; perhaps both.”

“OMG, Better Bagels are amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you don't know what fillings to have. They've got an amazing fries menu which is a meal in itself. Take away only as only a tiny shop next door to Whitton train station. The Bagels are just like the American ones with a wide selection of fillings or make your own up. Prices are very reasonable and well worth a visit. If you love bagels you'd love Better Bagels. Visit asap, you won't be disappointed. They also have amazing shakes and juices, and pretty decent coffee as well.”

“Great place, we went in here for a quick bite before the rugby and it was perfect. Quick and easy with a good selection of dishes, perfect for lunch. Quick friendly service.”

“Best food, best way to support local business. The couple that run it are the nicest people and I have been going here for years ever since my dad bought me a chicken wrap with extra garlic and chilli sauce. My new favourite is the lamb kofta wrap but these beautiful people will never disappoint. Please please support their beautiful business because they are the best x”

“Visiting from Montréal. Recommended by family and friends. This place was cozy and felt like home! Antonio and his son’s welcomed us with open arms. The food was just like eating Sunday lunch at Nonna’s. I highly recommend it.”

“Lovely surprise! We have lived in the area for years and never tried the restaurant under the new management before. We liked the mussels and prawns dishes a lot. Pizza and Parmigiana were nice as a main but not as much as the starters, those were top. The chef must be really good skilled in handling fish dishes I guess, and we'll definitely be back to try more. Service was attentive and not obtrusive.”

“Fabulous meal, beautifully cooked. I asked for some help at the last minute and Naz was super helpful”

“Great cafe and honestly great workers,especially the main guy (sorry im noy sure of his name). He always makes sure to make his customers feel comfortable and satisfied with his service and the cafe is just generally really cosy and homelike-its literally like my luke's cafe to loralie (gilmore girl reference). A great person really makes a great cafe.”

“The breakfast bar arrived exquisitely presented and was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!”

“Amazing food, beautiful decor, great atmosphere, and wonderful staff with a good sense of humour. Tables are usually for 2 or 4 (with indoor and outdoor seating) but they pushed some together to seat 6 of us together. Can't recommend enough!”

“The coffee and the texture of the oat milk in my flat white was flawless. I love the interior design and the beautiful cups, plus the staff are friendly and served the coffee with a smile! The location is ideal next to the river, and my dog was welcome too. The only downside is that the tables/ space are quite cramped. I wouldn't recommend sitting in - after all, less than 100m down the road are benches by the river.”

“Took my sister and her friends to this lovely place! Amazing Service, amazing cat and great vibes overall:). 10/10 definitely recommend!”

“Cafe Pera was a delightful experience. Their English breakfast is top-notch, boasting a satisfying taste and quality ingredients. For those with a sweet tooth, their hot chocolate is a simply lovely indulgent treat. Staff members ensure that customers feel welcomed and attended to promptly, enhancing the overall dining experience. We felt very welcomed throughout the amiable service. Overall, Cafe Pera earns high marks for its delicious offerings, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere. It's a place worth revisiting, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others in the area.”

“First time visiting after seeing the positive reviews, and I thought I’d give them a try. I was greeted by two lovely ladies who took my order. I had the Labbuffata breakfast and was blown away! It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“From a subjective standpoint, I have discerning tastes when it comes to food, however, this establishment has significantly impressed me with the exceptional taste and freshness of its offerings. The staff members are exceedingly courteous and provide excellent service. Although my original intent did not involve dining here, I was in the vicinity picking up parts from Mazda and Dealer. I happened upon this invitingly named restaurant across the street, prompting me to seize the opportunity to sample their cuisine. The experience was truly remarkable.”

““Rich cafe is very welcoming and cosy place with wonderful location. Every time we go there if it is just for a coffee, family breakfast or lunch, there is always plenty options to choose from tasty food and yummy deserts. The staff is so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks Mario for the wonderful care given to us. Forever repeat customers!””

“Usually head up to Twickenham on the weekends so surprised I haven’t popped into visit this place already as been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch venue in the area. This place doesn’t disappoint. Full Breakfast and brunch menu and really attentive staff. Ordered the house breakfast with tea - very good portion (the beans surprisingly good) - also do Eggs Florentine and Eggs Bendict but next time will try the Traditional Shakshuka. Only a short walk from Twickenham station, near the William Web Ellis pub.”

“One of the best Italian restaurants in London. The pizza is actually better than the pizza we had in Florence. Brilliant Neoplitan pizza. Fresh ingredients. Also the mushroom vegetarian Ravioli pasta was excellent. Prices were worth it. I'd highly recommend visiting.”

“A real nice experience in Indian dining. Started off with the reviews of course and then the dining. The cider choice, was a koppaberg which was refreshing. Thr samosas in the chaat were complimented with channa aka chickpeas and vatiyon other accoutrements. Delicious. The murg tikka was quite good too but would have preferred fit bit more heat n the green chutney served with it. On to the main course with lamb saag and dal makhani with breads. Both ere well cooked and excellently spiced to provide a great end to the meal. Unfortunately no space for kulfi.”

“Was beautifully decorated, love the Xmas decorations, staff professional & efficient. I had a cheeky non-alcoholic Corona.”

“Fabulous service, foods and fresh tasty coffee's from an independent cafe in a super location which helps lots of lovely young people increase their confidence and experience in the community. Brilliant management thank you for your work with Cafe Sunshine.”

“Happened across this place while in search of good quality coffee in the Green neighbourhood and found precisely that! Sapori has a pleasant atmosphere, cozy shop vibes, and really friendly and kind service. Hope to be back one day! Their chai lattes are like, really, realllllllly delicious! :)”

“Lovely atmosphere with friendly workers and an owner (Tony) who cares about his customers. On a first name basis with most regulars and super involved with the work. I had a very good latte made by Rowan who was friendly and chatty, with an excellent ciabatta sandwich.”

“This place continues to offer great service, food and drink, after years. Very impressed that they offer a few interesting drinks as well as coffee. Their tea range is great and very happy that they sell hojicha latte. Pastries are great quality and good value for money. Good playlists as well, and team are always friendly and helpful.”
