From the very first message, the coordination and communication were seamless — everything was handled with such care and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect, and their service on the day was outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they made the whole celebration feel special and effortless. Our guests were impressed, and my son had the most wonderful time — truly a birthday to remember! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized, stress-free, and joy-filled event.”

“fantastic service, food was delicious, very good will be going back. never in my life did i realise i had such a great food spot on my doorstep in a lovely part of kingston. the vibes the food can’t complain, will definitely be returning on a regular basis”

“A little gem. Went here last night very friendly nice lady serving us we decided to have the Korean hot pot as we had never tried before and sounded really nice. We had to move tables as all are not equipped with heat for the hot pot but it wasn’t an issue. The food came quick and tasted absolutely delicious. On top of that it was pretty good value for money. A nice little place with nice staff and amazing food what more could you ask for. Will definitely be going back.”

“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.”

“We were walking along the riverfront and looking for a place to have a few drinks. None of the usual bars caught our eye, but the cocktail mene here did, so we went in. I have had the burgers before, and they are delicious, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cocktails too. The vibe and atmosphere was great too! Not just a good burger joint;)”

“What I really like about this place is the batter on the fish, it's very tasty but moreover, really light batter. Often at chip shops the batter is heavy and greasy but here it's light.”

“This is a fantastic takeaway/delivery spot with really high quality dishes at reasonable prices, staff are friendly and helpful and service is really quick, they have a great range of authentic dishes.”

“Been a regular here for years and you’re probably thinking why I haven’t left a review. Because the FOOD always gets the best of me and it’s all I can think about. It sends me to another dimension eating their food. Highly recommend their chicken tikka biriyani as it’s one of a kind and one you will not want to miss. Cheeky bugger even comes with a veggie curry which is just the cherry on top. Takeaway is family friendly as well - everytime I come with my kids, one of the chefs always gives them sweets or a chocolate bar. Lovely stuff from the team at Alamin and thank you for your service.”

“A lovely little gem in Hampton Wick! The staff at Pomegranate are super friendly and welcoming, and the food is fantastic. The pasta is delicious, the bacon baguettes are the best! The perfect quiet local spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend!”

“It’s a beautiful little French cafe at Kingston. We had a chicken and garlic wrap and chicken & bacon wrap with a cappuccino. The portion was a good size and it tasted delicious. We also had a pistachio cheese cake slice, it was good too. They had a good selection of desserts. Everything is reasonably priced. You can sit outside with a coffee and just watch the world go by. Would definitely recommend this place.”

“Had the gyros here and they were amazing, super authentic and full of flavor. The staff were really friendly and made the whole experience feel genuine. Definitely one of those spots you’ll want to come back to, and I’d always come back.”

“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.”

“Like walking back into the 1970s. But in a good way. Had a couple of pints here with mates last night. The beer selection was a bit bizarre, with lots of porters and stout, but I was quite happy with a pale from Exeter Brewery. The team are super friendly and having left a bag behind, I was amazed when someone not only picked up the phone at 1045, but said they'd found it. The decor is like something from Minder in the early 80s. Terrible lighting in parts but there are areas that are more dimly illuminated. Probably a good thing! There's also a pool table and a couple of darts boards which is awesome. The audio system also sounds like it's on its last legs but I'm sure it's had a good innings! Anyway, who needs music. They had Morris dancers performing in the garden to last night. Definitely pay this place a visit!”

“A pub with an old-world atmosphere of England. Tasty giant portions, great selection of beers. The whole of Kingston is worth a visit. District in London with the atmosphere of a summer holiday. :-)”

“I had a truly wonderful experience this past Sunday! The tomato salad was absolutely exquisite, a real standout dish. Beyond the delicious food, the atmosphere was incredible. There was a palpable buzz and energy that made the whole visit so enjoyable. It's clear that Albert is back on top – everything was perfectly executed!”

“Had a lovely Sunday roast with my family, the food was delicious & the service warm & friendly. We will be in touch to book for our Christmas party.”

“A diamond in Richmond. It's an old house based hotel renieuwd. Loverly employees how makes everything possible and make you feel home. Good room, nice breakfast en lovely dinner in the restaurant as well as the cafeteria. Delicious lins soup. They still working on the hotel. They're making it nicer, if this is possible.”

“We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Pizza Express yesterday, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Ashley and Greg were absolutely amazing , truly wonderful people. Their service was exceptional: warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. They made the whole evening special for us, and thanks to them, we had an unforgettable night. This was honestly the best Pizza Express I’ve ever visited. We loved them and appreciated their positive energy so much. Highly recommend — Ashley and Greg made our visit perfect!”

“We order the large pizza, you can half and half of different types. We had it to take away, but you can order and get delivered or dine in. Really noce and authentic Italian pizza. The dough was thin and ingredients were great quality. The place looked clean and service was very kind. Hopefully next time we'll be dining in. Highly recommend the pizza.”

“Amazingly good food. Touch screens are available to make an order if you want. The good was ready within one minute, and im not exaggerating. The staff are helpful friendly and polite. The restaurant was very clean. It's well worth a visit disabled access is good also. It's definitely the best Itsu I've been to.”

“Went here for my sisters birthday, we normally go Persian palace but as we are in the area, we thought to give this place a try. Service is as amazing, can’t remember the name of the waitress but she was professional, helpful and offered suggestions. Food was good, service good, chocolate cake was good and it was in a great location.”

“Location is good and parking is reasonable near by. We parked at the carpark by premier inn and ncp, open car park. We were going to see Craig David in Circuit and wanted to eat before. This is literally opposite the station,a few minutes walk from circuit. We had eaten here before but not for early dinner. It was fantastic then and cannot fault anything. The service is amazing and we did walk in so expected to wait . It was busy but we did not wait long. They cleared a table for 2 and we looked at the menu within minutes. We were not rushed at all. The drinks came straight away and we were ready to order. Every thing is fresh and tasty. The price is very reasonable. Highly recommended for all”

“Went with some work colleagues last night, after we had been bowling. Never had Lebanese food before. Was really impressed, good service and delicious food, would definitely go back again”

“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!”

“Great food and friendly service Dropped by GDK and really enjoyed the experience. The food was fresh and tasty as always. What made it even better was the service from Ahmed, he was polite, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly. It’s always nice to be served by someone who’s friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Great place and great customer service”
