Dining experiences in Croydon

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“We booked for a large party of us to come late after a local event on a Monday night. We were going to arrive at about the time the kitchen was closing. Amy and the team were absolutely brilliant in making the whole thing work. We pre-ordered food, which was waiting for us when we arrived. Staff stayed late especially - which was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate us and could not have been friendlier or more helpful. It was a lovely event - good food, reasonably priced and brilliant staff. Thank you to everyone at The Crown - it was a fab birthday celebration!”

“This restaurant is more than twice the distance of my local one but so worth the extra travel time. The dim sum was exceptional, very high quality and well made. It was also very good value compared to the nearest biggest dim sum restaurant. An unexpected added bonus was the Saturday 1pm raffle which was good fun and very generous of the restaurant. Staff and service was great too. No dedicated parking is the only negative. I highly recommend and I will be returning again soon.”

“The best takeaway in South Croydon! Excellent service, speedy turn around time and so much food for the prices. Ordered for a part of 8 and they came very quickly with tons of different orders. Everyone had delicious meals, sides and naan. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Found this place in centrale, halal food. Had an amazing wrap. Very friendly staff. We should support our local businesses.”

“yolanda and all members of staff were absolutely amazing. such a lovely atmosphere, friendly, kind staff, amazing food! thank you so much”

“Fantastic Chinese. Only one we ever order from. I use to live in Singapore as a child, so was brought up on Chinese food. This Chinese gives excellent service, food and value for money.”

“fresh food an quickly made and good price. thank you”

“I just ordered sweet and sour chicken. Very good. I am satisfied”

“Really enjoyed the doner kebab here - well prepared, full of flavour, and served fresh. The portion was satisfying and everything tasted spot on. Extra credit to Areeba, our server, who was polite, attentive, and made the visit even more pleasant.”

“very nice food, clean and tidy workplace I would recommend to everyone.”

“Had a lovely egg, beans and chips today and my dad tried one of their new burgers and he is blown away and said "WOW, what a burger!' and it definitely exceeded his expectations! Chris and Charlotte who run the cafe are really friendly too, and always make you feel welcome”

“It’s not every day that you’re truly struck by good customer service, but I definitely was here. Particularly Ashley who went out of his way to ensure every interaction with a customer was bright and welcoming!”

“Costa is one of my favourite coffee shops. Kind staff, nice coffee, relaxing music… What do you need more?”

“Amazing pizza and sides. Ordered over phone, pizza ready in 15 mins. paid with card. Would be visiting more often.”

“Naga tikka biryani is the BEST. No other restuarant has compared to theirs always consistent with flavour and quality. Tandoori chicken is always juicy and flavourful. Naan is always perfect. Food is 10/10 always. Staff are efficient friendly and polite. Present well and always provide a great service.”

“Really good food nice friendly people I ordered 2 half pounders with 2 chips meals are 8 pounds so 16 pounds for a lot of food you can get half a chicken for 12 pound always clean never had a issue”

“Stumbled across this restaurant and have to say its a hidden gem. The service was 10/10 and the food was amazing. I had one of their signature lamb curry's which was recommended by the manager and it didn't fail. Will definitely be back.”

“Nice place, great service, tasty food & very reasonable prices. Perhaps a bit old fashioned but I don't mind that at all... next to a fab little old pub too, we need to keep these places open :-)”

“Good Chinese food with a good selection, I like the following dishes Singapore rice noodles, lemon chicken, special mixed curry, Sweet & Sour Prawn Balls/ Chicken Balls(not to much batter), Deep Fried Chilly Beef, Egg Fried rice, Mushroom Fried Rice or Vegetable fried rice, My dad likes the Singapore fried rice Vegtable, Mushroom or Prawn currys, Niece likes chips and plain curry so a dish to fit how your feeling & time of day. Staff are friendly and can help you pick a dish to suite you, are also willing to make changes like a but more spicy they can do that. Good sized portions too. Do home delivery now too but no card payment”

“I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.”

“It was Lunar New Year and so I decided I'd try Wei Dao and I took some fortune cookies with me too. The ladies working there were really nice. It was not busy on Friday night, I encourage people to dine in and ditch the takeaways. It's reasonably priced and had some fun pop tunes playing in the background.”

“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”

“This Chinese is very good I recommend to every 1 the boss is a man of his word he gave me chicken ball instead of prawn balls I told Hindi rectify and he did the food taste amazing the young girl also is very nice !! I just recently moved to area . I love it!”

“I have passed by this place several times without really noticing it, but was recommended by a friend. Excellent. Perfectly cooked rice and noodles, chicken satay one of the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommended”

“Great Service, great food, great prices. Very accommodating if you want to take-away too! I couldn't want anything more from a greasy spoon.”

“Feeling nostalgic as it was 20 years since I have been back in UK and my favorite banger and mash are still the best at weatherspoon”

“Genuinely the best pizza i’ve ever had!! Definitely get the garlic sprinkles they make the pizza even better!! Service is always great and the workers here are so friendly :) Thank you Asif for my order!!”

“10/10. From the options, quality, purchasing, delivery options, delivery and set up. Can’t fault. Bergamo sofas delivered today to DA11 and the customer service since day 1 has been nothing but amazing and the delivery guys were also extremely polite and pleasant (instead of the usual grumpy guys you would normally expect). This company deserves every bit of success and by the looks of it, will soon be the UK’s leading sofa company.. you watch this space!!! Thanks again”

“I ordered starters crispy squid, gizzard and there was another order of chofi. Must say the squid wasn’t nice at all. It was shaped like nuggets not your usual ring shape which made it taste battery instead of tasting the actual squid quite disappointing. Must say the rest of the starters that was ordered were really nice and well seasoned. Also the moko it came with was delicious. I got jollof as takeaway yet to taste it. Deffo do recommend this restaurant service was great.”
