Evening dining options in Croydon

“Went here last Thursday as heard they did a good quiz night. Had a burger and a couple of pints of Guinness zero; burger was top notch, proper gourmet stuff and we really enjoyed the quiz, we somehow won! Only downside was that it was a bit quiet, probably helped us win the quiz though. Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.”

“Had a really lovely experience at Wagamama over the weekend. I was having a rare child-free day and was on FaceTime with my mother who lives abroad, and my server, Fatima, was just wonderful. She helped me choose the pork belly ramen - something I’d never tried before - and it was absolutely the right choice: comforting, flavourful, and perfect for the cold weather. Fatima was genuinely warm and personable, and even took a moment to be sweet and engaging with my mom on FaceTime. It was such a small gesture, but it made the whole experience feel really human and memorable. Service like that is exactly why I keep coming back to Wagamama. Fatima is a real credit to the team, and her warmth made the whole visit feel extra special.”

“I’m a regular customer at Domino’s and I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed. The shop is always spotless and beautifully kept, and the staff are absolutely lovely—so helpful and welcoming every single time. They always greet me with the biggest smile, which really makes a difference. As for the pizzas? Perfect, every time. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Couldn’t ask for better service or food. Highly recommend!”

“Wonderful food and great prices - if you want to taste true authentic Pakistani food this is your go to place! The staff are so friendly and nice and the food is amazing. The lamb Nihari, biryani and Payee are the best I’ve ever tasted! I always book in family orders and events through Zaika, never had any complaints only praise. Thank you as always!”

“I had the 'Full English' with fries, a blueberry smoothie and a filter coffee. The food was incredible! the restaurant was clean throughout and the staff were polite and attentive 10/10 would definitely go back when in the area!”

“Had a lovely time here with my family. Food was very nice and plenty of tables to choose from. Would definitely go again.”

“Never fails in any aspect!!!! 100% recommend it’s not only halal but as well ask fresh everytime!! And very clean surroundings, love this place a lot always enjoy their food even nicer coming back to smiling faces all times as the staff in there is really lovely too!”

“Excellent little place. Great coffee, good value, really friendly service and a very good selection (incl. GF, DF, vegan etc) of delicious cakes, biscuits, juices, sandwiches etc. So glad such a lovely place is just around the corner. Will definitely be back.”

“I visited Tindli By Chef Karnavar restaurant today and really enjoyed my meal. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. I ordered a sea food sadhya, Malabar chicken biryani and Ada Pradaman payasam it tastes really good The portion size was good for the price. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would come back again.”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“Food is beyond amazing,everything is fresh and tasty. Staff are also very friendly and great customer service too. I really recommend this.”

“What a place. Small, friendly, cozy, with lovely food served by lovely people; incredible value for money too!”

“Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.”

“I am new to the area and was looking for a good cafe; I have come twice now and the food and staff has been really good. The way they cook and serve the food is just right!!!”

“The only bar worth visiting in Croydon if you enjoy craft beer. Excellent range of beers both on tap and in the fridge. They usually have food available at weekends, and on weekdays you’re welcome to bring food in. Knowledgable staff.”

“The best Chinese I have ever ordered. Literally amazing, so fresh and so tasty, I don't think they even use MSG. Family run, cooked with love. This place is so good it is so dangerous. Love it!”

“Delicious food. Great portions at affordable prices. I'd like to go again. Thank you.”

“Azis (The owner) and his team have always strived and delivered on giving me and my family a 5* dining experience here when we visit. Been a regular customer here for years. Simply the best curry house going!”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“The food was so delicious and big portion of one person.”

“Amazing food every time. A delicious and unique dining experience.”

“I have been here many time the food here really nice not to mention their 241 cocktail that they do everyday. The staff are really friendly. I do prefer this one compared to the one in Camberwell. Definitely come here”

“The best catering service in croydon. I recommend these guys to every one.”

“I have used the Chinese shop for a while now, at the beginning the food was ok however over the last 4 times I’ve ordered the food has been amazing I think maybe under new management. I will keep ordering from them as like I said the food stands have definitely gone up. A big thank you for all the amazing food you have delivered to me over the last 4 weeks”

“Allahummabarak food was TOPS! A*****! If I could give this a 6 stars rating I would. I collected the food and was piping hot, their biryani and dhaal especially never fails to surprise me, best dhaal I’ve ever had. I also ordered some butter chicken, korma, the jalalis special and one of their prawn dishes, everything was bursting of flavour, and you could taste the uniqueness in every dish, food was fresh and cooked in the time I desired, would definitely order again, thank you.”
