Delicious in Surbiton

“I ordered a set breakfast here, they were happy to substitute mushrooms for beans; it arrived quickly and was well cooked and a generous size. The service was good, the only sad thing was that the place was empty apart from me. Recommend this place if you want a good, honest breakfast, the rest of the menu looks pretty extensive too.”

“Charming restaurant less than 5 mins from Surbiton Rail station and opposite Sainsbury’s. The old Post Office building has been repurposed as a restaurant, fitted out in a sustainable way with genuine Turkish designs and materials. My server had a Masters in restaurant design so was knowledgeable and happy to point out some of the features. The coffee was excellent and the Nutella and sea-salt cookie was something I’d never tasted before and had a light and delicate texture. Good access for wheelchairs and my go to coffee stop in Surbiton when on foot or a motorcycle or bicycle with parking right outside the door.”

“Iv been wanting to come here for a long time and each time something has came up. I went there with my wife and I had pie and mash as I'm originally from east London and it did not disappoint. My wife had egg on toast and the lady ask how she wanted it and made it perfectly. I will definitely be going back.”

“A true gem among Tolworth cafes. Great atmosphere, lovely food (you gotta try their fish&chips!) and astonishingly low prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is wheelchair accessible with a dedicated parking space for Blue Badge holders. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Used to come here occasionally as a child growing up in the 70s/80s. Moved back to Surbiton with my own family several years ago and was so happy to see they were still going strong. Have been coming here ever since. Dishes taste fantastic, quality is consistent, prices are very reasonable, preparation is fast and staff are friendly. Tried other Chinese takeaways in the area but none of them come close. A real jewel. Bravo, guys.”

“Brilliant pub, great food and friendly staff!”

“Fatjona is one of the most loveliest hairstylist there with so much patience and an eye for detail. She is a perfectionist and makes sure that she makes her client feel special and gives the most amazing service I have experienced. Fatjona is an asset to this salon. 5 stars for her!”

“Top place for good quality and wide range of products. Ofcourse somewhat pricey but actually almost comparable in many cases to M&S and Sainsbury's. Free parking also helps. They have a fresh fish counter and that does some good fish too”

“A fantastic pub, the food was excellent”

“Really nice local Indian restaurant. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Prices are a must. Always go for the Garlic Naan and the Chutney Tray. Malayan chicken and Biryani.”

“I had my 40th here and it was excellent! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The spaces are a good size, I was allowed to decorate the area and the food was brought out on time and was delicious. I would certainly recommend The Elm if you are looking to mark an occasion, or even for a meal as it was so good. Thanks all!”

“Great service pizzas delivered to work for a meeting. Correct site and on time Great customer service on the phone and from delivery guy”

“I went to this place before my shift finished to order some food and told the boy serving i would be back in 10-15min.It was quiet and The boy was serving on his own at the front (young boy, named Janes, sorry for misspelling). He was giving fast and friendly service and apparently also doing deliveroo orders! He had my food ready by the time i came back and he kept it warm on the side for me. Portioning was great! Nice detail to write “Enjoy” on the lid :)”

“Nice coffee shop. Coffee well made & staff really friendly”

“After a small mix up on time the manger was very helpful my food arrived at the right time hot big portions and very tastey esp the chicken and hash brown burger and the breakfast beef burger”

“Just bought Chana (chick peas) chaat and it’s delicious as always. Seriously really yummy if you haven’t tried. Hopefully will be ordering samosa in bulk for a small gathering. Thank you to staff who are very honest and helpful.”

““I had the absolute pleasure of trying the Persian pizza at Village Pizza in Surbiton, and it was truly outstanding. This pizza took me straight back home with its nostalgic flavors and that special touch that only authentic Persian-style pizza can bring. The service was equally fantastic—especially the lady behind the counter, who I believe is the owner. She made the whole experience warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend Village Pizza enough if you’re looking for a delicious slice of something special. Five stars all the way!””

“A burger that melts in your mouth, lovely seasoned chips and a brownie I just cant stop thinking about!!!!! Perfect after getting off the train after a long day. I can't wait to come again! Are two brownies in one day frowned upon???”

“Brilliant as always perfect breakfasts brilliant rooms will always stay here when we are down in Kingston. Good value for money and very luxurious.”

“Mr Walid and Lena are beautiful people and they serve delicious food. I have been coming here everyday for over a year and they honestly treat me so warm and friendly, like family. The food is fresh and seasoned to perfection. I often struggle with what to pick but I can never go wrong with the chicken Tawouk or chicken shawarma or the lamb kofte. No matter what you order it will be made to your liking and you will not regret giving their food a try. The service is fast and efficient. Everything is well worth the price! The food keeps me all day during my studies. I promise you will be a regular customer as I am for them. Stepping into the their establishment is one of the best decisions , I’ve ever made.”

“Just stopped on a Friday lunchtime to have some pizzas, they were delicious, on par with pizzas we’ve had in Italy, the best pizza we’ve had so far in surbiton/london! Highly highly reccomend!! The staff were lovely and welcoming; will definitely be returning and telling my friends about it! So lovely!”

“I had one of the best if not the best pizza this year at this café/restaurant/deli. Everything was perfect. Delicious toppings and outstanding pizza base! Perfect! This place is not fancy but sometimes it's the simplest places that offer the best food.”

“What a wonderful little restaurant! Despite having very high expectations due to all the great reviews, my family and I were still surprised at how great this place was. The sashimi pieces were lovely and thick, their signature rolls were delicious but our favourite was the udon (unfortunately not pictured as we were too busy slurping it up!)- the noodles were cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this place for the delicious food and the lovely attentive staff!”

“Wow, the most delicious feta mini quiche ever! What a find! So much to choose from beautifully presented sweet and savory produce too. Lovely smiling staff. A wonderful surprise find for morning coffee with "pastries". Good value for money and quick service. We ate in, relaxing at the window bar seating, happily watching the rain! Highly recommended ( take away available too). JM”

“Great place for a lovely breakfast in sunny day have indoor and outdoor area. Very friendly owner. Nice coffee and panini! Very good price. May find free parking nearby!”

“Super Americano coffee, friendly staff - clean and hygienic - genuinely deserve support - ideal for Autoglass across the road.”

“Superb nosh! Excellent Spanish omelette, just what the doctor ordered! Friendly guy taking the orders too.”

“This restaurant is amazing! Such yummy food at reasonable prices. Loved it! Every dish was super tasty and the portion size was as also good. It had cozy and nice ambiance with great staff taking care of the customers promptly. We ordered quite a number of dishes and each one was wonderful and worth it!! Will definitely visit again!!”

“We are a regular customer for teas and coffees and it’s our first year getting our Christmas tree. Wonderful, friendly service. We had a lovely experience picking our tree and the staff made it very special for our kids. 100% recommend it”
