Delicious menu in Purley

“Delicious food from the starters to the mains and desserts. Great place for a catch up with friends nice ambience. Would highly recommend the giant prawns.”

“Been here before to pick up just avocado maki; this time I was in a rush so explained this to the shop owner who was professional and polite, said he could make me up a sushi box in the 10 mins I had if I chose quickly. After changing my choice a couple of times he was patient enough to go with it and I settled on the Omega Box (8 Salmon & Avocado Rolls, 6 Salmon Maki, 6 Avocado Maki) which came with soya sauce, wasabi paste (firmer and drier than usual sushi box wasabi, possibly better quality?) - with a 10% takeaway discount it came to £11.69. Sushi rice was room-temperature (as best enjoyed), well-seasoned and good texture, fresh-tasting fish and avocado, with a good amount of filling in the salmon & avocado rolls; really enjoyed and plan to return!”

“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”

“great fresh pizza with great variety of toppings and styles. Service is fast too. Will def recommend”

“Today we ordered two pizzas and 12 piece bucket food was so delicious. both staff member are very friendly or always smile and joking. They gave us good atmosphere.”

“Caroline was such a lovely host! Happy to accommodate my strange questions & requests as a vegan. Me and my mate were really happy to be served by her and you can tell she takes pride in her job.”

“Food was fresh and especially the tandoori chicken.”

“Fantastic food and super tasty , ordered for the office and they enjoyed it so much ! As the order was over £500 we received free drinks and starters , such a great Christmas treat to my staff ! Thanks”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Purley Dragon! I honestly don’t understand all the bad reviews — they couldn’t be further from the truth. Every time I’ve been to Purley Dragon, the food has been incredible — always hot, fresh, and full of flavour. The portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They’re polite, welcoming, and always happy to accommodate special requests or dietary needs. You can tell they really care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. The restaurant is always clean, cosy, and has such a warm atmosphere — it’s perfect for a takeaway night or a casual meal out. I’ve tried a lot of Chinese places around the area, and none come close to the taste or service here. If you’re hesitating because of the negative reviews, don’t. Give Purley Dragon a try — you’ll see for yourself how wrong those comments are. Once you do, you’ll never go anywhere else for Chinese again!”

“Lovely cafe near Riddlesdown station. Wide range of hot and cold drinks including smoothies, nice egg breakfast selection and toasties and burgers. Some of the menu is halal, ask before you order. Recommend”

“First time trying this place. Definately wont be the last. Food is absolutely amazing. Deliciously authentic and fresh. Very affordable too and portion size great.”

“I really liked the atmosphere, it reminded me a lot of Italy. The food is excellent, the dishes are beautiful, the wine is very good. The prices vary, but overall it is not expensive. The atmosphere is not very large, so if there are a lot of people it is a good idea to make a reservation, especially on the weekend. But I will come back if possible. It is not wheelchair accessible, there is a small staircase at the entrance.”

“A wonderful dining experience. The steak was cooked to perfection – tender and full of rich flavour. The chorizo in wine was outstanding, beautifully seasoned and bursting with taste. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Argentine cuisine.”

“I am new to the area and was looking for a good cafe; I have come twice now and the food and staff has been really good. The way they cook and serve the food is just right!!!”

“I had a very nice full british breakfast at this Portuguese restaurant in Purley. The breakfast included: Hash browns, sausages (pork), mushroom, Eggs (you can choose between fried, poached or scrambled) I had my ones poached, bacon, beaked beans, black pudding, toast, butter, tomatoes light fried,”

“Food is delicious, especially the chicken and black bean sauce and Hong Kong style chicken. Really sweet lady who works in the store. Delivery is super fast. Originally we use to go to phoenix, but their food quality dropped, so we tried new star and have been happy ever since.”

“I’ve been here a few times now and always enjoy my experience. The owners are lovely and the atmosphere in this coffee shop is so nice and relaxing. I had breakfast here yesterday as well as a milkshake and both were delicious. Would recommend :)”

“Pleasant atmosphere, always cheerful staff. I opted for a quick menu item due to a short time to eat, and it met my expectations.”

“What a great little pub, the only reason I marked down for atmosphere is because we went at lunchtime , so maybe not as lively as in the evening. We sat in the dining area but the rest of the pub was busy. The food was delicious, hot and the batter on my chicken was perfect. Another bonus hot pork scratchings! Shouldn’t have had them before are ample dinners! The staff were so friendly and it’s reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend”

“Out of all the other wood fired pizzas I have tried. This one by far is the best, due to the simple fact that they use sour dough bread. Cannot be beaten . Amazing service! Pizza served with a smile. Would give a 6 star if available.”

“Top pub in Purley, friendly and busy on a Saturday night - Curry was spot on and the live ska band (perfectly timed as we finished meal) were phenomenal.. Great night had by all. Waitress was also on the ball and came up to us every time drinks got low... 10/10”

“Came home after 5 pints and absolutely smashed 5 chicken balls, half a Singapore vermicelli and half a mixed veg in oyster sauce, will undoubtedly smash the rest tomorrow lunch time. Absolutely banging”

“It's great to see this fab Purley pub open and managed brilliantly by Adam, Jo and the team. Service with a smile, great selection of drinks and cracking music playing. Nice vibe and a great place to drink in Purley.”

“Amazing restaurant, food and the vibes! will definitely be coming back here again! Shoutout to Jose and Vlad for making our experience here very special - well done boys!”

“I love the staff. Most of them are my friends now because they are so friendly and kind. Always a smile and patience beyond measure. I've seen it tested. One guy is annoying to both customers and staff but we all just ignore him mostly. The chicken however is flipping delicious. It's so flavourful. I highly doubt anyone would be disappointed if they try it for themselves. Better than chicken cottage on London rd. Better than KFC by far. Better than that one chicken shop of church street (I'm so sorry to say but it's true). Obviously I like chicken, hot wings in particular so I know what's up. This place is dope.”

“Best in the area by a distance. Freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Plenty of flavour and nice staff as well. I made the mistake of trying another Chinese in the area while these guys were closed and won't be ordering from anywhere else in purley other than these guys again.”

“Great food, really nice folks, very clean cafe, spacious, good place to gather your thoughts. They take debit cards and prices are very good value and sometimes cheaper than other places. Food is similar or better or different in a good way, to other cafes, not the usual boring stuff. Much is home made and fresh. The lady there makes cakes, so I ordered a birthday cake, all beautifully decorated to order, at half the price people making cakes at home charge, and a fraction of what it costs in a large bakery chain for a birthday or celebration cake. I will be going there regularly from now on.”

“This place is brilliant Zahid khan is the best worker! Absolutely amazing”
