The 30 Best Desserts in Kingston Upon Thames

“Wow! An absolutely perfect neighbourhood Italian. Delicious, creative food with wonderful in-season ingredients, friendly staff and really good value for money. Wouldn’t change a thing. Already looking forward to my next visit”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary, and had a great experience. Jasmine in particular was very helpful, she made sure to check in and ask if we were ready to order anything else regularly which was very helpful as we were there for bottomless pancakes! Very personable and friendly waitress, made us feel so welcomed! Thank you Jasmine for making our evening feel special!!!”

“Great German food and beer (Paulaner and Erdinger). We came to see the River Culture Festival, not easy to get a table on terrace (also cannot book a table in terrace - first some first serve), so we sit inside at the beginning but then we eventually got a table. We had currywurst, black forest and apple strudel, Oh my God all are delicious! We definitely will come back one day for beautiful river view on the terrace and the food.”

“I went to Giggling Squid – Kingston upon Thames for my birthday. It wasn’t busy as it was a weekday, and I absolutely loved it! The staff were so polite, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was calm with beautiful décor — lovely colours, chandeliers, and paintings. Everything was very clean and stylish, including the toilets. The seafood dishes were delicious, and although I had the lamb shank which wasn’t my favourite, it was still tasty. Perfect place for nice birthday photos and a great dining experience!”

“Very ‘authentic’ HK style dimsum - love it here! A little bit pricey, but hey it is Kingston after all! Lucky to have this spot as a local restaurant. They have changed owner / name of the restaurant recently- FYI. Fav dishes so far - the siu mai, har gau, pork buns, custard cream buns and the pork pastry. Decent beef hor fun.”

“Ordered off them Almost religiously for the last year and their pizza is so tasty always cooked just right and delivered super fast! All their drivers have all been polite and very kind to the kids that lie to answer the door with me... I felt like it was time I gave them a review as I know not enough people remember to review amazing service! I'm usually one of those people but a recent trip to another ocal pizza place was shambolic and made me realise how amazing and faultless these guys are! They always have lots of deals on and are very reasonably priced with them! I only wished they accepted cash but I understand why they don't right now and hopefully this option will return once things are "normal" again! Look forward to many future pizzas from these guys I won't be going elsewhere.”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“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”

“One of the best boutique cafe in Hampton Wick (South West London). The Barista is very attentive to detail.Superb desserts, delicious homemade savory food, sandwiches, including vegan options. The homemade soups are great especially in cold days and is a great alternative. Stylish interior. Nice staff. The lady "Simona" is very friendly and she makes everyone feel welcome. When shopping in nearby Kingston Upon Thames, we always go to this cafe.If you are tired of the big branded coffee shops and you want to have a really good coffee, this is the place for you!”

“Lovely independent Italian restaurant. Great food. Great service.”

“Best one out of all the shops on the same street. Food is amazing and prices are really good. Staff is also lovely :-) Strongly recommend!”

“Chilli Cha Cha’s in Kingston Upon Thames Marketplace has excellent customer service and delicious, freshly cooked food to order in front of you. I love the pakoras and wouldn’t buy them anywhere else. The aromas are amazing and very enticing. Lovely owner and staff.”

“Great coffee and treats, lots of space and the falafel place is lovely. Also the staff are always fast and friendly!”

“Went on a Saturday 2/3pm overall waited 45 minutes but was worth it! Food was super yummy and the portions are huge (they should never changed that!!!!) I ordered a dirty boy with the rib or beef brisket (can’t remember - but it had no bone) and it was honestly so flavourful. I’m sat at home craving this again but can’t get any because I’m far! Service was amazing and I can’t wait to go again.”

“Cafe Marsa Charcoal Grill + Wafflemeister offers a delightful culinary experience. The spicy hummus provided a flavorful start, while the omelette and shakshuka showcased a perfect blend of textures and spices. The veggie breakfast was a refreshing and well-balanced choice. Special mention goes to the impeccable service, adding a welcoming touch to the overall dining pleasure.”

“Best place in Kingston!!! Food is delicious and very generous portions. The service is great will come back again 100%”

“The food here is delicious and authentic. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s one of my go to places to have dinner, out. I highly recommend the Stir Fried Glass noodles dish with beef as well as any Pho. The portions are also a great size and the staff is always kind, friendly and quick.”

“Really good overall. Will come back for sure. Beef was nice and tender in the noodles, brisket beef could have been thicker but tasty never the less. Happy, great crab and sweetcorn soup.”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“Fantastic pub with excellent service! The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. They have a unique lineup of beers, especially the IPAs, which were some of the best I’ve had in a while. The atmosphere was great—lively but still relaxed, and the backyard is a perfect spot for smokers to unwind. Highly recommend this place for a great drink and a great vibe!”

“I've tried many Chinese takeaways in the area, and without a doubt, Wan's is the best! The food is always piping hot, packed with flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. Every dish tastes carefully prepared – from the crispy spring rolls to the rich, perfectly balanced sweet and sour chicken. Their portions are generous, the prices are fair, and they never miss a detail with the order. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is always quick, whether I'm collecting or getting delivery. I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else now — it's become my go-to for a treat after a long week. If you’re looking for a Chinese takeaway that never disappoints, you won’t find better than here.”

“Both the pizza and cookies are amazing! Way better than the others - you probably want the cookies when they are hot & gooey so maybe eat them first? Or only order cookies then you don't have to make a choice!”

“Always 5* - my favourite takeaway”

“Food was awesome with mostly authentic Nepalese food, they also had a wide variety of options to have. They open around 6:00-7:00pm and close at 10:30pm, great for a dinner date and food usually takes 20mins to 1H depending on how much you order, atmosphere was great with sculptures behind glass and photos on the walls, staff where also lovely.”

“My daughter and I come here a lot. We enjoy the upstairs area. They always have vegan whipped topping, too. A lot of Nero's don't have it made! The staff are very friendly and accommodating.”

“One of my favourite Indian takeaways. Very reasonably priced. Food is of a good quality. Fast service. Delivery as well as takeaway is available. No dining in.”

“Great stop off for refreshments before a long walk. Service is good at cafe and atmosphere always buzzing with like minded fitness enthusiasts and normal everyday dog walkers and families.”
