Dining destination in Sidcup

“10/10 recommend. They’ve recently got a new award-winning chef at this restaurant who cooks the most incredible food! We’ve been 3 times this past month already and will be coming back again very soon. Strongly urge everyone to try this place out, you won’t be disappointed. Staff are also very welcoming and there’s a really nice atmosphere.”

“What an amazing place. Atmosphere was great. Food was absolutely delicious, and the service is one of the best. Recommend to take family there, you will not be disappointed. Definitely will be visiting again and again. Well done Curry Mahal!!!!”

“Lovely pasta with tomatoe sauce. Very friendly Staff. Service was very good when it was very busy. Pasta arrived within 10 mins,and was very hot. Nice cold 7up free with nice clean glass. Spoke to Manager,and told him restaurant was run brilliant,and to keep up the good work 10/10. He was very happy,and offered me a free strawberry ice cream. Good karma is always rewarded.”

“I went here a couple of days ago and took the risk after all the bad reviews(only 1 time risk). But now maybe it has changed owners and it's better now? As it looked like only 1 chinese guy was working there who spoke perfect English and I didn't see anyone else in sight. But anyways what i ordered was delicious which was roast duck with bbq sauce on egg fried rice.”

“A wonderfully friendly small cafe with inside and outside dining options. All 3 of us loved the food, we ate half before taking the picture. The portion sizes are good. Custom made sandwiches to order. The Focaccia is made on site and absolutely delicious. The other breads are ordered in from a bakery. They also have Korean and Italian cupboard foods for sale. We purchased a green tea seaweed pack that was reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and smiley, answered our questions about the food and you could see by their interactions with other customers, they have a lot of regulars.”

“Lovely food, good prices , very friendly staff!! Amazing!!!”

“Delicious Italian food, great service and a warm and cosy vibe on a chilly December evening. The food was excellent, great flavours, generous portions, beautifully cooked. The servers were very careful to check everything and make sure that my nut allergy was catered for. Big thank you to Martin and Beverley for serving us so well, we'll certainly be back again.”

“Delicious food and great value. Pho was light yet full of flavour and had the right amount of fresh herbs and the option of fresh chillies.”

“A very good restaurant with excellent service. The staff were extremely polite and welcoming. I would definitely return.”

“Lovely meal. Food was on point service was amazing. We come regularly and absolutely love it here!”

“Came in here for a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed friendly staff and the food was bang on will be back to try the rest of menu with out a doubt”

“Very enjoyable Mother's Day family breakfast at The Kitchen. Five adults and three children had very nice meals and all commented favourably. Adults had mixture of full English and veggie and children had Nutella on toast. Their offer of breakfast plus tea or coffee for £11 is brilliant value”

“I absolutely LOVED this place ! Great chips, signature burger and vegetarian burger were simply amazing. The burger sauce is a must try !”

“Have ordered many times from here and the food is always exceptional. Beyond that the customer service is amazing, clearly a place who cares about its customers. UberEats had us waiting for around 1HR30MINS for our food, when I called the restaurant they had already spoken to uber and recooked our food ready for the next driver to collect so it was still hot and fresh!”

“My friends & I went to this superb restaurant for lunch today. I have been here on numerous occasions. It never dissappoints! . My friends loved it. VIV’s new favourite. I had mussels and skate for main. Vegetables cooked to perfection. I could go on and on how good this restaurant is. Looking forward to coming back soon. 5⭐️+”

“We stopped here for a spot of dinner and we were very impressed. The restaurant was very quiet but it was early evening, and we were greeted with a warm welcome. The food was good and value for money. There are alcoholic and soft drinks available and an extensive menu The restaurant is clean and modern and the staff Very friendly and helpful.”

“Friendly restaurant with great food and always made to feel welcome”

“All 7 of us really loved our meal and the service was excellent. The best thing for me was that they have a vegan menu too which is amazing! And he even said even if it's not in that section they can adapt it to your dietary needs. I haven't been able to have korma in 10 years and it was soooo good!”

“Nice place with good food and reasonable prices. I tried the chicken curry bowl; the spices were warm and fragrant but not overpowering. Portions were satisfying, and service was polite.”

“Had my 80th at this restaurant with family- 16 of us. Lovely meal, great service and not too expensive. Would recommend”

“Great hot food. Nice and fresh. Portions were huge for a reasonable price.”

“We went on Friday night and had a great time. Brilliant attentive service and great traditional food. Will definitely be back.”

“I ordered the buy one get one free offer on Uber eats, and couldn’t fault. Burger was warm chips was warm. Also staff was attentive and followers the order notes/instructions. Never had a bad experience”

“Really good atmosphere lovely workers nicely seasoned chicken and a good atmosphere especially when the shop opens there are some scenes. If you see rakesh your in good luck”

“Really good kebab shop, meat is always cooked perfectly, decent portion sizes. I have never had a bad kebab from here, its reliable, consistent and always open!”

“Very nice, family friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly, also some dishes like the grilled fish dish took longer, so expect a long wait. DJ on site was cool.”

“I came to Penelope’s for lunch with my partner and two friends on Thursday afternoon. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the location of the restaurant is stunning with lovely views all around. It’s definitely a hidden gem in the community, if you haven’t checked it out yet you definitely should. To eat we had a few items off the lunch menu which they serve between 12.30-4pm, my friends had a cheese and bean jacket potato and a chilli jacket potato both came with a side salad and they were delightful, the potato was lovely and soft inside and the fillings were loaded! My partner had a fish finger sandwich and I had an amazing falafel, hummus wrap which had roasted red peppers inside, the falafel was delicious I will definitely return for that alone. We also tried from the festive drinks menu an orange hot chocolate which was really delicious and looked beautiful too! We all cleaned our plates and left very full and satisfied, we will definitely be returning especially with all the exciting things they have going on over the Christmas period, the staff recommended us to check out their instagram to see their upcoming events and we’ll definitely come to bring the kids to meet Santa in their Christmas grotto!! If you haven’t been down to Penelope’s I’d recommend popping down, we’ll be trying their pizza next as that looks unreal too!!”

“Staff were welcoming and friendly, food was delicious, only some of the other diners let the atmosphere down - but I’d highly recommend! Great value for money!”

“Only a quick visit. All clean, with a good amount of staff. Had food on my second visit. Service and attentive staff made the experience great. Steak arrived in good time, excellent value and great tasting too. I'll certainly visit again when next working in the Sidcup area. Highly recommend.”

“Had lunch here today and the food was terrific and very well priced . Would recommend to people and will be back in the future”
