Dinner with friends in Sutton

“Happy to make changes like putting some meat separate and some in a pitta which is really useful, when they are flexible about how the food is given to you and they aren't precious about a set menu. Only thing I'd point out to them is to make sure to use a set of tongs to turn the raw chicken skewers over, and once this is cooked on the outside, move to a different part of the grill and finish it off, by using another pair of tongs. You'd avoid any chance of cross contamination this way. Same goes for the pittas and wraps being warmed up - use another clean pair of tongs to avoid customers having second thoughts about their stomachs getting through the night ok..”

“Relaxed service. Perfect cheese burger for £3. Perfect chocolate sundae. Chicken burger was so tasty it forced me to slow down to savour it which was another superb experience. The loo was perfectly clean. They have regulars which is the best compliment. The staff were all very approachable. Thank you for being a space of tranquillity in a crazy world.”

“This food shop boasts a wide variety of delicious dishes in a clean setting. The friendly staff are knowledgeable, explaining ingredients and spice levels to help you choose. We loved the tasty thali and their flavorful biryani. Overall, it's a fantastic place with great food and excellent service. Highly recommended!”

“First time ordering from Classico, registered and collected it. Easy, no problems. The pizza was fresh and delicious, first class....definitely going to order again...”

“Popped into here after coming out of cheam station, had a crying baby and I was starving. The server was really lovely and quickly made me some food within 15 mins it was sooo good and really nicely packaged so I could eat it on the go with the pram. Would recommend!”

“Had the most amazing Chinese meal with the family here tonight. Food so fresh and beautifully prepared. Staff attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back again. Would advise booking as a small establishment, but sooo good.”

“The staff are always friendly and make you welcome.Food here is fantastic and always hot,was here just yesterday with some friends,There is also a garden area as well if you are a smoker so it's good all round 10/10”

“I've never written a review before but after the experience I've just had it's the least I could do. I visited Bar + Block in Sutton and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Jessie, who was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. Jessie anticipated our needs effortlessly and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. She knew the menu inside out and gave spot on recommendations. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet genuinely personable, she really elevated the entire dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Jessie again.”

“The service was very quick and super nice. I order the gourmet set and it was super delicious and fresh very much worth the money. I haven’t such good since I was in Japan. Would come again 5 stars Also the miso super very yummy would happily have the miso super”

“I celebrated my friend, Jennifer’s birthday here today. It was her third visit, and Ejder immediately recognised her — such a lovely personal touch! He even made her a black paper rose, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. The birthday arrangement was wonderful, with a sparkler on the cake and the staff singing happy birthday. Ejder truly made our day special — thank you for such a memorable and enjoyable experience! I highly recommend celebrating your birthday here — the atmosphere is really good and perfect for special occasions.”

“The food here is always amazing. I have never had a bad dish. My favourite dishes are the Mango Flower Dumplings, Chicken Massaman and the Pad See Ew (which is one of their specials). The staff are very friendly and accommodating too. I would definitely recommend booking in advance because it gets very busy due to its popularity!”

“Great Food! The burger was delicious and the chicken was very juicy and tender. Overall, the food was amazing. Christy’s service was excellent — 5 stars!”

“I just got back from ordering from this place. And I have to say the staff was friendly and helpful. Even though it took a little longer than expected, they still treated me with care and respect. I didn’t mind the long wait since the pizza here is definitely worth it. If you want big pizza for affordable prices, this is your best choice. They even gave me a free drink for my patience.”

“Absolutely 10/10! Service was impeccable, food was outstanding. House red was lovely too! Very impressed. Will definitely be returning.”

“Exceptional customer service here again today. Great food and this shop has a lovely little food store with the most amazing products to buy. You can order hot or cold food to eat in, or take away including cakes and sandwiches.”

“Great portion sizes great food and great owners what more could you ask for”

“My kids like the sweet and sour dish (chicken), special chow mein(gravy) , spring rolls and sweet chicken wings.”

“Definitely worth every penny very nice food and staff are great”

“Majestic Wine Cheam have just helped me at the last minute having been let down elsewhere. Ellie was incredibly helpful reserving the large order at short notice and having it all ready for me to load just before she shut the shop. Excellent service for which I’m very grateful.”

“[SHORT VERSION] One of the best Japanese food we’ve had in London. Prices were MORE than reasonable and the portions are big. You should eat here. [LONG VERSION] The Food: We first had the Yuzu Yellowtail Tiradito. The first mouthful me and my partner had, we looked at each other and said, this sort of flavours could be easily served in fine dining restaurants. Very complex sweet, sour, and a small beautiful hint of spiciness to it and then the yellowtail tasted so fresh. Not one bit of slimy/fishy smell or flavour to it. We then had the mixed tempura. There was no usual dipping sauce and we thought it was a bit sad, but when we had our first bite, it was so crunchy and tasty that too much sauce would ruin it. You could really taste the freshness of the prawn. My partner and I think that proper japanese chefs pay attention to detail, so we check how they prepare their food, and they delivered. The tails of the prawns were completely clean with no black marks at all and the vegetables were so fresh too. We also had the pork katsu curry, which had the entire bowl covered with the pork cutlet and a really powerful japanese curry sauce(very flavourful)[no photo as someone took a better one that does justice to it]. The Chef and the Place: To be honest, I found out about this restaurant passing by it early morning(it was closed) on our to the bus stop, and I checked the reviews(high). I thought we would drop by later that night. They said that they don’t do reservations as it is really a small place(mainly takeaways), with bar like setting(stools lined up along the window and along where the chef prepares sushi) and 1 small table on the side. We went in later for dinner and were surprised that there wasn’t a single Japanese staff in the place, I even looked outside to check if we were in the right place. So we’re like, ok let’s just order, we’re here already and as soon as we tasted the food, we loved it. We talked to this Sri Lankan chef and asked how the hell his food tasted this good and we all had a good laugh. He’s been in the Japanese Fine dining field for 25 years and he wanted to start his own little restaurant serving cheap but high quality food. We spent 2 hours talking about Japanese food, and how they store, prepare, and present their food. They even showed us that they use only the highest quality ingredients all the way down to the salt they use for the sushi. These guys are lovely human beings and they are also highly skilled in what they do and they need the recognition. Thank you for the lovely meal. It was a pleasure meeting you guys. P.S. Thanks for the special off-menu aburi salmon!”
