Culinary experience in Richmond

“We came here for dinner via the Fork. Place is close to Richmond station with free parking nearby after 4:30pm. We got the poppadum. We had the pani puri, sheekh kebab and paneer tikka. All were great with a kick to it. For the main we got Lamb saag and chicken curry with naan and rice. The food was quite spicy and flavourful. Bill was around £55 which is reasonable.”

“Excellent Food! Unfortunately, I had to wait a long time for my main course. But it's worth it”

“Quality. Variety. Been going here for a couple of decades. Consistently excellent. Always a nice welcome and attentive and confident service. Really good breakfast choices. Wide salad selection. Just addicted !”

“I've been eating and taking away from this restaurant almost from the time I moved to Putney 57 years ago. Thetford has always been delicious, the service unfailingly professional but friendly and the portions more than generous. I love it.”

“A sensational afternoon tea experience. The teas were unusual and delicious. The food, both savory and sweet, was freshly made, and of superior quality. Topping it all off, an elegant yet understated atmosphere with friendly, attentive service. A special thanks to the sweet blonde waitress who helped us with our language skills with uncommon patience and attention.”

“I recently ordered from Rosana Spice for a Wednesday night dinner and was really impressed. The food was phenomenal: fresh, tasty, and beautifully cooked.especially butter chicken was so good the sauce was creamy and full of that classic Indian flavor I’ll definitely be trying more from their menu.”

“Very nice little Thai restaurant run by 3 adorable ladies. Watch out when they bring out the sizzling beef and its smoke haha but beside that the dishes are tasty, the service attentive and the room not too loud. The Menu A Standard is perfect selection. The soup and the curry were delicious. The Ice cream is not very exciting though. Conveniently located less than 10 min walk from Richmond station.”

“I never enjoyed soft shell crab like how we did at Yum Sa. Every item we ordered tasted great and nothing disappointed. The best items we had were the satay chicken, grilled prawns, and the soft shell crab. Massaman curry was good too. Jungle curry was alright. The cocktails were also good with their unique twist on the traditional cocktails. Do note the pictures of the food are outdated as it looks like they may have changed their menu. For instance we wanted to try their pad Thai wrapped in omelette but didn't see that particular dish in the menu. There is a pad Thai but there was no mention of omelette in it. So we didn't order it. Also we went in assuming the portion size are also small based on the images but when the food looked much bigger when we saw the food in front of our eyes. So order accordingly.”

“This Ham Cafe is open now after a six month if I am not wrong. New management, New menu and great tasty food and amazing coffee. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. So much clearer and tidy then before.”

“We came for a "proper Sunday roast" and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal and service equally wonderful. We split a beef roast, mussels and smoked salmon pate for our family of 3. We finished with the Christmas pudding. It was more than enough and each dish was spot on! The staff were friendly and attentive and the ambiance was everything one would hope for an English pub. Highly recommend!”

“This is a very cosy delicatessen with a great range of Italian products in accessible prices, classics such as Pan di Stelle (my favourite) but also with a carefully selected and sourced choice of cheese and ham from Italy and many other great gourmet foods (Sicilian olive oil and pistachio cream changed my life ”

“Very tasty food and pleasant service! Thank you very much! I will come back to you again”

“Malaysian cuisine! Friendly staff and makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable to dine in. Try Makan Makan Fried Rice and tea (hand mixed by Michelle) There's also a Fried Mars Bar!? Worth a try! Restaurant is a bit small with about 5 tables. Reasonably priced.”

“We had an afternoon shindig at Mamma Mia's after my dad's funeral as it was the place Mike and Betty loved most in EastSheen. Rosa's Puglia inspired food was wonderful, and Leo kept our glasses of Chilled Prosecco topped up, bless him. Can't recommend it enough.”

“The best chinese I've ever ever eaten,and i consider my self a chinese connoisseur,so i know my stuff when it comes to chinese food,worth travelling 250mile for, that's for sure.100 percent home made food ,highly highly recommended, will definitely come again !”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“It was a stupidly hot late June day and as we were traveling back from Hampton Court Palace, we met a local whose parents also happened to be staying at the same hotel (The Selwyn) as us. We were on the last leg of four straight weeks of international travel and safari…we were EXHAUSTED and wanted a good simple dinner super close to the hotel and The Red Cow was recommended to us. The bartender was awesome, but made my day when he noticed how hot and tired we looked and brought me a pint glass filled to the brim with ice, to go with my fruity cider I was trying. Divine! Small gesture, big impact. Enjoyed a delicious dinner, football match on the tv, and we’d stay here instead of The Selwyn next visit. Also, don’t recall the name of this drink he recommended, but it was perfect at the end of a long, hot day. Thank you!”

“I come here a fair bit and love it. Sushi is awesome and love chicken katsu curry. Nice friendly peeps. Pretty quick if you go and collect also!”

“Fantastic food & vibe! First time trying a Maki roll: massive, extremely tasty, 100% recommend! Will certainly be back for more!”

“Sunday Roast was incredible, thanks to head Chef Dennis and our friendly waitress Bert, she is a little Star! Not forgetting the friendly bar staff, Fran and Leon. Always such a lovely atmosphere and experience. Huge well done guys. Keep up the great work, to the managers Nats and TJ”

“Highly recommended due to the warm, welcoming and professional team in charge. Had lunch ahead of the rugby at Twickenham and we were well looked after. Great food too!”

“Ordered the Thai Salmon Curry, it was good. Before, I ordered several times the noodle, it wasn't as I expected. The staff was nice, and attentive. The ambiance was cozy with really good interior design, comfortable, and not too noisy. Toilets for customers are available (downstairs, and on the first floor, need to use the door code from the receipt).”

“This should be the best Cantonese food in Kingston, and there's no service charge. The Yolois awful and inauthentic; it's ridiculous that it has a 4.9 rating—it must be fake.”

“Had a fabulous lunch here today to celebrate Chinese New year. It was all good the but the whole steamed seabass was exceptional. It was cooked to perfection. Moist and juicy and full of flavour!”

“Enjoyed yet another great value and tasty meal this evening, restaurant buzzing. Special dish of the day Thai fishcakes are the best I've had anywhere. Courteous staff even when rushed off their feet this Friday evening. At the moment the best restaurant in East Sheen - and exceptional value for money, and quality of cooking consistently high.”

“Bengal Village has been my favourite takeaway for the 30 years I’ve lived in Richmond. Always absolutely delicious and lovely staff.”

“This is an excellent Sainsbury's, and an excellent supermarket. It's clean, modern, has plenty of product selection, staff are always helpful and it's never that busy in the day. I love how well organised the shelves are, staff do well here, and the store layout is very good and easy. Great location, parking and petrol station. Starbucks and Argos is also a bonus. My favourite place for shopping now in Richmond. Outstanding bakery and bread selection.”

“I came to Richmond to visit Kew Gardens and booked an afternoon tea for four here. We had the most lovely and delicious experience. Cakes, quiches, scones, clotted cream, big tea selection, the works. The staff were so nice, helpful, and efficient. It was a beautiful Saturday in September and the place was not too busy. The quality and presentation was better than most afternoon tea spots in London (city center) and at least 1/3 the price… I will be back.”

“Came here with 6 friends of mine post-Twickenham rugby, and the service and food were absolutely amazing. Our waiter was very welcoming and friendly, and the food was delivered quickly. Every one of us had a different dish (from pad thai, to spicy crispy duck, curries, calamari, pork ribs, and more) - every single one was tender and a perfect balance of flavours. I myself got the yellow yellow noodles dish with chicken thighs, and it reminded me a lot of the Chiang Mai/Khao Soi noodles I had when I was in Thailand myself. 5 stars. Highly recommend!”

“Not sure about the other reviews but I thought this place is arguably one of the most authentic restaurants in the area. I loved the pizza and pasta we shared - sorry no photos of the Ndjua pizza or sage / butter ravioli as we were too busy eating it! Would highly recommend- avoid the tourist traps and go here. Did I mention the Tiramisu?”
