Dining options in New Malden

“Can't speak highly enough of Lisa and Tao. We had a pretty frustrating experience as FTB, with conveyancing that dragged on for months (sellers even changing solicitors halfway through), but SeOUL were the one highlight. Lisa was on the phone chasing both sets of solicitors, sourcing planning documents from the council, anything she could do to keep the purchase moving forwards. Lost count of how many times I called or emailed but they were never anything but helpful and quick to respond. Edit: would like to add that since we moved in, Tao has been round to help us work out how to use the heat pump, and collect post for the sellers. Lovely bloke.”

“We just bought a wardrobe and we are really happy with it! The quality is great and the customer service was excellent. A special thank you to Vinny, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly, which made the experience even better. We truly appreciate the excellent customer service and will definitely return in the future. Highly recommended!”

“5 star service! Thanks Junior! We had a fantastic experience at the Sofology store in New Malden thanks to a really helpful young man called Junior. He was absolutely brilliant - friendly, knowledgeable, and really took the time to advise us on the perfect sofa for my mum’s home. Nothing was too much trouble, and he made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Thanks so much, Junior - you’re a credit to the team! Geraldine and Rosie x”

“I get food delivered from many different places. With many of them, the food quality will go up and down. Some restaurants, over time, seem to get lazy, and it's not even that unexpected when the food quality suffers. That's why restaurants like Spice Express are like gold dust. You can rely on the same great tasting food time and time again. I recommend trying one of their chef's specials. You won't be disappointed.”

“Authentic South Indian food served by friendly staff. The young lady was exceptionally accommodating. The buffet was definitely worth the price. Tea and coffee both offer an authentic taste.”

“I ordered through 'just eat' last night. Being alone I appreciated the £14 minimum order for free delivery as opposed to the usual £20. One of the owners delivered as opposed to a faceless kid in a crash helmet. The food was perfect. Fresh and clean.This chef knows what he is doing. The Biryani was as good as any I have had in India. Move over Fleet Tandoori, you were number one in Gospel Oak and took it for granted. There is a new kid on the block and they are GOOD.”

“We recently visited DFS to choose a new sofa, and we were lucky enough to be assisted by Lloyd. He was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand what we were looking for. Lloyd guided us through the options, answered all our questions, and helped us find the perfect sofa for our home. Thank you, Lloyd, for your excellent customer service.”

“I cant recommend this little deli enough. The crusty rolls are just like what we used to get from the bakery when I was a kid with lots of filling. My daughter had the panini cheese and ham and she loved it and she got homemade lemon drizzle cake to go. Great little place for lunch we will definitely be regulars. Oohh a d the gelato is yum and the woman running is the nicest. Great place”

“Excellent job reupholstering chair, we are very happy with the end product. Spencer gave us some great advice when choosing the fabric and arranged for a range of samples to be sent to us. Prompt turnaround and delivery of the finished chair.”

“We have had a great experience selling our property with Groves Residential. They are extremely professional, kind and they have a lot of integrity. Very happy that we instructed them to help us with this sale. Thank you Niki and Levi you have both been wonderful!”

“The food is incredible, our entire party loved it. It’s a very charming small restaurant with friendly and pleasant service. We will recommend and will return.”

“I cannot get enough of this place! It’s a family owned little cafe, the staff are soo friendly and the food is outstanding!! I’ve never had a bad meal and the portion size sometimes are too big! In my opinion the best cafe in New Malden/ Kingston! They definitely deserve a 5 Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Small intimate place. Ordered honey butter boneless and veg mandus. Delicious chicken crispy and moresome. Mandus were great also. Check it out if in the area.”

“We had a great experience here. The chicken is absolutely delicious, perfectly crispy and full of flavour. The sauces are amazing, especially the honey garlic and the spicy one. The beer is served in a frozen glass, which makes all the difference and tastes incredible. The owner is very welcoming and friendly, adding to the lovely atmosphere. The place is also very clean and well looked after. Highly recommend if you are in the area and want really good chicken”

“Really awesome South Indian food. So different from the usual Indian fare in the UK. Definitely worth a try. The dishes are so flavoursome (and super spicy). Vada Pav was my favourite.”

“This is my favorite cafe! I live in the US, and whenever I visit my family in New Malden this is one of my first stops. It’s become a tradition now! Delicious espresso and pastries and a nice selection of Italian pantry items.”

“In the past three months, I’ve dined at Alforno at least four times and I just can’t get enough of this place! The food is absolutely delicious, bursting with flavour every single time. The staff are always super happy, friendly, and welcoming, and the service is just incredible. The atmosphere and overall vibe is fantastic.”

“New Malden is truly a haven for Korean food lovers!Wandering into this unassuming restaurant turned out to be a delightful surprise. Spicy Stir-fried Squid and Pork The squid was wonderfully springy, and the accompanying vegetables were full of flavor. But the real star was the pork — fully marinated and flavoured, packed with heat, and incredibly fragrant. A perfect balance of spicy and savory! Kimchi Pork Tofu Stew Classic dishes are always the best test of a kitchen’s skill, and this one passed with flying colors. The stew arrived bubbling hot, with a strong, appetizing aroma of fermented kimchi. Just one spoonful of the tangy, spicy broth was enough to awaken the appetite. The tofu was soft, silky, and generously portioned — a hearty and comforting dish that really satisfies. Side Dishes The complimentary kimchi was crisp and flavorful — exactly as it should be. The bean sprouts, though a bit mild in taste, would’ve been perfect with a touch of sesame oil for added depth. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We visited Sofreh in Chessington as a family and were blown away by the experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming the staff truly looked after us throughout the evening. The food was exceptional fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavour. I ordered the momtaz, which came with both koobideh and chicken joojeh served with naan absolutely delicious. My daughter chose the joojijeh with rice, and she loved every bite. We rounded off our meal with some beautifully fragrant Iranian tea, which was the perfect end to a fantastic dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic Persian food with excellent service, Sofreh is a gem worth visiting. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Tasty Korean food in Malden Manor.A hidden gem. Love their seafood pancake and fried chicken most! One of our family's favorite restaurants.”

“The Chinese food here is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that cater to all tastes. The flavors are authentic and well-balanced, The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.”

“Good food and great service. The Samosa chaat, mocktails and the best tandoori roti. It was my mum's bday and she was surprised with a delicious chocolate brownie too. Look forward to coming back to try other items on the menu.”

“Me and the family were waking by and happened to find this cafe in Kingston so we decided to try it. The staff were very welcoming and the food was delightful and tasty. The prices are very cheap for Kingston in general and the portions are very filling. Came here with the family and we all loved it.”

“Such a charming cafe with wonderful staff! Great breakfast range and delicious teas and cakes. Outdoor area is lovely with beautiful flowers. Our favourite local!”

“There is no point trying another cafe if you are in this area and you need a greasy spoon. Prices still reasonable, service is friendly and welcoming, food is spot on. Even the coffee is good. My only tiny reservation is that perhaps ketchup bottles could be bigger or topped up more often.”

“Compact takeaway tucked under the entrance of the station. Offers an amazing array of Oriental delights. You can’t miss it – as you enter the station you will see a hole-in-the -wall service point with menus on either side of the window, a refrigerated display and service counter. I was served by a friendly Japanese lady. She will shout out the order to the chef who works in the galley kitchen. There is some clanging of the wok and boom!.. your food is ready. The food, whoa.. fabulous! No frills, only serious chow. Pocket friendly, with an interesting menu and super delicious nosh. Service is efficient. They take cash and cards. Go try their competitively priced lunch sets. Recommend the chicken udon set. .. comes with miso soup and delicious spring rolls. If you are in the area and you are looking for a quick hot meal, go knock on their window!”

“Delicious noodles, authentic Chinese food, the meat portions could be more generous though.”

“Went with my flatmates 2 weeks ago and had a delicious lunch. From pajeon to japchae to samgyupsal: all was great. I read a lot of reviews of Korean restaurants in New Malden and Azit had the best reviews for service: I can attest they're real. I had a small accident when one of the guys dropped the crab in the spicy sauce and it splashed into my right eye. The waitress was amazing then as well (she was very attentive all the time) and she even brought me an ice pack after I managed to get out of the restroom. She really made this experience a lot more pleasant considering Korean food should not be tasted with the eyes.”

“I recently visited your restaurant and wanted to share some feedback. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming The staff were friendly and polite and professional.) The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The music and lighting created a pleasant dining atmosphere. Thank you for the experience I appreciate the effort your team puts into delivering quality Korean cuisine. I look forward to visiting again”
