Delicious eats in Croydon

“So cute and fun! Lovely landlady and cat - we had lots of fun chatting”

“The best Chinese I have ever ordered. Literally amazing, so fresh and so tasty, I don't think they even use MSG. Family run, cooked with love. This place is so good it is so dangerous. Love it!”

“The cafe I always leave happy when I go. I feel like the employees are in a very caring family environment. The portions are a great, satisfying and clean environment.❤️”

“First time I've been in a very diverse cafe, and it was excellent. Absolutely good friendly atmosphere with very good staff who are attentive and friendly. The food is ok,and value for money with good portion size, home cooked feeling. Though I would say the pancake looked really good. Would we come again. YES.”

“I love coming here. I order an egg, bacon and sausage roll with ketchup every time I come. The roll is always soft and the filling is cooked to perfection. Best cafe in Croydon. The chef is an absolute joy. Good food and great people - what more could you ask for? If I could give 1 million stars out of 10, I would.”

“Great spot for food and drinks. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes! Nice atmosphere inside and out but we opted to sit in the beer garden and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of parasols for cover. Super friendly manager who was very accommodating, checking everything was good for us and letting us know about a BBQ the following day.”

“Just had a lovely dinner with the family at Sanderstead Tandoori. Massive thanks to Jay for the impeccable hospitality and recommendations as it was our first time in his restaurant. The king prawn sizzler is a must try! Absolutely delightful. We had a wide array of curries which packed fantastic flavour and generous amounts of lamb and chicken. Highly recommend!”

“We were searching for fish and chips it was like 10.00 pm we couldn’t find any shops only this was opened. We thought they are going to be grumpy because it was closing time. They welcomed us with big smile and they are happy to serve us. I thought maybe they will give leftovers. But they did it from scratch. Tasty, crispy, fresh fish with thin batter that’s what I like . Well packed in a separate boxes easy to carry without mess. They were friendly and generous. I am not a fish and chips person because I don’t oily, saggy cold and thick batters . I would say this is the best place for fish and chips.”

“By far one of the best Cafes i go to all around London im a tradesman as you all know we love a cafe!! Whenever im working in Croydon there's no other place to go but May Day Cafe. The owner and staff cannot do enough for you making sure you feel welcome and recieve nothing less then 5 star treatment every time. Go Check Them Out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”

“Massive breakfast, tasty. Bread and rolls really nice, good price too”

“I had been coming to the Dog and Bull for years before the Refurb and always found it charming. I returned in May to a bright and vibrant garden, dubbed 'the wilderness' the new booths were a welcome upgrade and made the space feel substantial! Besides the cosmetic changes, I have grown to love this pub in my home town of Croydon even more than I did before! We've been so lucky to have an amazing summer and it's been great to see this pub so close to my heart packed out with new and returning people each week! I have been raving about The Dog since May and have invited all my uni mates who talk down on Croydon to have a drink with me There, they've all eaten their words and finally seen the charm that Croydon has that is encapsulated in what I think is the best pub in central Croydon! The staff are friendly and make everyone feel like they're in their local and they have live DJ sets, with music I wish more places would play (deep cuts of Garage, R&B, Jungle…list goes on). I wanted to write this review as we always complain when we don't like an establishment but never give praise to environments where we feel comfortable and want to return to so thank you to all the staff at The Dog and I'm sure you'll be seeing me again in the near future.”

“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.”

“Went for the first time and will be back! Lovely, family run restaurant. Excellent service and great suggestions. We went for a fixed price menu for 2 people and could not finish all the dishes! Sad to see one other review complaining about their pricing. Everything was transparent and we thought it was superb value.”

“I ordered from KFC New Addington via delivery and was amazed by how quickly it arrived. The food was piping hot, and the chicken was crispy and flavorful. The driver was courteous and efficient. Will definitely be ordering from here again!"”

“fresh food an quickly made and good price. thank you”

“Really enjoyed the doner kebab here - well prepared, full of flavour, and served fresh. The portion was satisfying and everything tasted spot on. Extra credit to Areeba, our server, who was polite, attentive, and made the visit even more pleasant.”

“Had a lovely egg, beans and chips today and my dad tried one of their new burgers and he is blown away and said "WOW, what a burger!' and it definitely exceeded his expectations! Chris and Charlotte who run the cafe are really friendly too, and always make you feel welcome”

“Called in for a few drinks while in the area. This is a "proper" old school pub which is rare these days! The lady serving was lovely and helped us with some local knowledge of bars in the area. Good pint of Guinness”

“Fantastic, fabulous pint of Guinness”

“Nice place, great service, tasty food & very reasonable prices. Perhaps a bit old fashioned but I don't mind that at all... next to a fab little old pub too, we need to keep these places open :-)”

“I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.”

“This Chinese is very good I recommend to every 1 the boss is a man of his word he gave me chicken ball instead of prawn balls I told Hindi rectify and he did the food taste amazing the young girl also is very nice !! I just recently moved to area . I love it!”

“Great atmosphere, bar staff are tremendous and always very welcome there.”

“Grabbed a mocha from here, service was quick and probably the best mocha I've had! Nice decor and wide menu too”

“Excellent experience. Food is excellent quality and customer service is amazing. My wife and I love coming here as staff is very welcoming, nice, polite and helpful. Food is tasty, well presented, big portions and at an excellent price. It is definitely a place to recommend if you are around Croydon.”

“Had sausage hot dog.. omg it was lush + at £4 it was great value + very tasty”

“Best mocha I've ever had no added suger needed...I normally have to add 2”

“Propee boozer. Cheap drink. Good crowd of people. Can't beat it. There ain't many good ol' school pubs like this about anymore. Best pint in Croydon at the best price.”
