Dining out in Twickenham

“We went to the restaurant a couple of weeks ago as we wanted to try some authentic Italian food. The service is provided directly by the owner and it feels like you were in some place in Italy. Food was the best quality we have tried in the UK. Again, it makes you feel you are in Italy. The chef cuisine was fantastic and the even combined one of the pizzas with the famous “Porchetta”. Being Spanish, I felt the taste and warmth of the Mediterranean. Really pleased with the experience and 200% recommended”

“Absolutely love this restaurant, it is fantastic for veg and non veg entrees. We ordered the tandoori paneer—which came out in a sizzling iron platter, the stewed lamb curry, appetizer sampler and veg momos. Everything was so hot and delicious, flavors were phenomenal and we ordered a second round shortly after! Service was great too, we will definitely be back next time we’re in Twickenham.”

“For years, Golden Grill has been a staple in the community, serving up some of the best kebabs and Turkish flavours. With an incredible management team that keeps everything running smoothly, this place has built a well-earned reputation for quality, consistency, and great service. Their chicken shish kebab is a must-try—perfectly grilled, tender, and packed with flavor. It’s always cooked to perfection, making it a go-to for anyone craving a delicious, satisfying meal. But what truly sets them apart is their homemade chili sauce—the perfect balance of heat and flavor that takes every bite to the next level. The sides here are just as impressive. From creamy tzatziki to rich, flavorful houmous, everything is fresh and made with care. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, you’ll find generous portions and incredible taste at an affordable price. If you’re looking for a great local spot to skip cooking and enjoy an amazing dinner, Golden Grill is the place to go. Friendly service, unbeatable flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere—it’s no surprise this place has been thriving for years!”

“Lovely little Italian spot in Twickenham! We had pizzas. Especially enjoyed the Caprino, which was packed with flavour. Finished off with a delicious tiramisu and a smooth limoncello. Great food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“My dining experience at Shuili in Twickenham was nothing short of amazing. The restaurant has a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. We had a wonderful family dinner at Shuili. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making it a great spot for kids as well. The menu had something for everyone, and the food was outstanding. The food was fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The Burrata Chaat was a delightful surprise, loved equally by the kids and adults. Choosing a favourite between the lamb chops and the jumbo prawns was no easy task but if I had to pick, the lamb chops edged ahead with impeccable flavour, perfect texture and presentation. I would highly recommend Shuili for anyone looking for a memorable meal!”

“Really good Thai food with great flavors, and they were happy to accommodate special requests. Not cheap, but definitely worth it and highly recommendable. Try the coconut rice as a side - mouth watering!”

“They were extremely welcoming. The service was absolutely amazing, it’s decently priced. The portion sizes are great. I loved it.”

“Lovely surprise! We have lived in the area for years and never tried the restaurant under the new management before. We liked the mussels and prawns dishes a lot. Pizza and Parmigiana were nice as a main but not as much as the starters, those were top. The chef must be really good skilled in handling fish dishes I guess, and we'll definitely be back to try more. Service was attentive and not obtrusive.”

“Great cafe and honestly great workers,especially the main guy (sorry im noy sure of his name). He always makes sure to make his customers feel comfortable and satisfied with his service and the cafe is just generally really cosy and homelike-its literally like my luke's cafe to loralie (gilmore girl reference). A great person really makes a great cafe.”

“Delicious food with so many different flavours to enjoy! We had a wonderful meal. The chef truly touched my heart—the dishes took me right back to home.”

“We stopped by Greek Cook & Grill after a day exploring Teddington, Kingston, and Richmond, and it was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. The service was genuinely top-notch, and every dish we tried—from the chicken souvlaki and sea bream to the saganaki, baklava, and portokalopita—was delicious. Great wine and friendly vibes made it a perfect end to a busy day. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best Italian restaurants in London. The pizza is actually better than the pizza we had in Florence. Brilliant Neoplitan pizza. Fresh ingredients. Also the mushroom vegetarian Ravioli pasta was excellent. Prices were worth it. I'd highly recommend visiting.”

“Went there for lunch. Aged ribeye steak and chargeilled chicken breast are delicious. Lunch menu has a lot of choices. Good food and atmosphere with nice music. Gelato is yummy.”

“Really lovely pub where the Sunday lunch is epic! I didn’t even take a picture of my pie but it was incredible - completely homemade and will defo return! If you want a full Sunday Roast then you need to book - but we were lucky there were pies available for the walk-ins! Staff super friendly and attentive and food incredible! AJ’s Pies are perfect!”

“We had our Work Christmas Lunch on 18/12/2025, the Christmas menu was AMAZING! Plenty of food on the plate, we ordered some extra trimmings, which wasn't necessarily needed but definitely happy we had them as the food was sooo good we just could stop eating! Service was friendly and the whole lunch was a success. All my team commented afterwards how great the Christmas Lunch was this year. Thank you very much!”

“Malaysian cuisine! Friendly staff and makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable to dine in. Try Makan Makan Fried Rice and tea (hand mixed by Michelle) There's also a Fried Mars Bar!? Worth a try! Restaurant is a bit small with about 5 tables. Reasonably priced.”

“A great place to go pre-match at Twickenham. I had linguine, was lovely, the tomatoes tasted great. Next time though I would order some garlic bread. Nice traditional pub decor.”

“Went there with the family, I had the chicken pizza and the amazing volcano Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The complementary olives and the tasty small bread were as tasty as well. Cant recommend the place enough. The staff was friendly and experience. you should definitely try it soon.”

“I come here a fair bit and love it. Sushi is awesome and love chicken katsu curry. Nice friendly peeps. Pretty quick if you go and collect also!”

“Thank you Raj for the great hospitality! We really enjoyed the food. All the dishes were flavourful. I’d highly recommend RAYU”

“I’m a big fan of this local pub. I used to live just around the corner, and it truly felt like a second home — or even a cosy grandparents’ house. It’s surprisingly spacious, with chic dried flower arrangements on every table (even the cutlery boxes are lovely). The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, smiling, and attentive — not overbearing, just genuinely kind and efficient. They regularly rotate seasonal beers, so there’s always something new to try, and the food is consistently good. You can watch sports on TV, play darts, enjoy a few board games, and there’s even something to keep the kids entertained. A proper gem of a pub.”

“Sunday Roast was incredible, thanks to head Chef Dennis and our friendly waitress Bert, she is a little Star! Not forgetting the friendly bar staff, Fran and Leon. Always such a lovely atmosphere and experience. Huge well done guys. Keep up the great work, to the managers Nats and TJ”

“One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been. We had mussels for starter to share which they brought in two separate plates and made it easy. The starter was massive and absolutely enough for two people. Then we had pepperoni calzone and salmon pasta bake which were amazing. The food is absolutely fresh and flavoured here. The calzone was delicious and stuffed which made it a big portion and the salmon pasta bake was perfectly cheesy and in a great creamy white sauce. We also had Tiramisu which was perfectly creamy. The staff were nice and friendly. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for fresh and flavoured italian food served in a huge portions.”

“I am a local and go to this chip shop sometimes. The food is delicious and they have things that you normally wouldn’t find in a chip shop. And I hope soon that the kebab side off the shop will be open soon. They have been working on it for months and I am very excited. I am a drawer and one time I drew their logo(I’m not saying you should do this so plz don’t try it) but I got a small free chips which was really nice(it also helped that I am a local and the owner knows me quite well). I am very please. I forgot to take a photo but if you look at the other reviews you will see. Thanks”

“Absolutely delicious - one of the best Indian takeaways we have had in this area. Consistently good. Excellent quality ingredients, and each flavour stands out separately and strongly. Quick delivery via own website. Good value, arrives hot. Excellent!”

“I had an incredible time at this restaurant! The service, ambiance, and food were outstanding. I highly recommend it and can't wait to go back.”

“The best place to eat steak or pork ribs. Bar tenders too are very polite and very helpful. I am looking forward to coming back to this place soon.”
