Exceptional dining experience in Kingston Upon Thames

“Exceptional quality and service! From the moment I walked into Richmond Kitchens, the whole experience was a pleasure. The end result is a beautiful kitchen that’s genuinely beyond what I expected. They use Leicht kitchens, which are absolutely stunning — top quality and fully bespoke to your space. There’s also a huge range of worktops and appliances to choose from, so it really feels tailored to you. Matt’s design was brilliant. He made the most of the space and adapted the plan seamlessly to fit with the building work, including new windows and doors. The installation was on time, done to perfection and any small follow-up bits were sorted quickly and efficiently. I spoke to a few other local suppliers before deciding but it was the quality and level of service that drew me to Richmond Kitchens and they completely delivered.”

“Had a fantastic meal here. The staff were warm and attentive without being pushy, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and everything came out quickly and fresh, chef Ahmed is very attentive and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Wow! An absolutely perfect neighbourhood Italian. Delicious, creative food with wonderful in-season ingredients, friendly staff and really good value for money. Wouldn’t change a thing. Already looking forward to my next visit”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary, and had a great experience. Jasmine in particular was very helpful, she made sure to check in and ask if we were ready to order anything else regularly which was very helpful as we were there for bottomless pancakes! Very personable and friendly waitress, made us feel so welcomed! Thank you Jasmine for making our evening feel special!!!”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“Great German food and beer (Paulaner and Erdinger). We came to see the River Culture Festival, not easy to get a table on terrace (also cannot book a table in terrace - first some first serve), so we sit inside at the beginning but then we eventually got a table. We had currywurst, black forest and apple strudel, Oh my God all are delicious! We definitely will come back one day for beautiful river view on the terrace and the food.”

“We had a great mother's Day lunch here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly to our large group with young children. Food has a very homemade feel to it. The seafood tagliatelle was fantastic and so were the cocktails. Rissotto and steak dishes left much to be desired. Nonetheless - overall a good experience”

“I recently had a wonderful takeout experience from Chicken World. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection with a crispy coating and tender meat. The wings were equally delicious, with well-balanced flavors. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness. The owner’s personal touch and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Chicken World for their mouthwatering chicken meal that will keep you coming back for more!”

“What an incredible find five minutes walk from the town centre. Very tastefully decorated in a minimalistic fashion. Everything looked freshly refurbished. The bedroom and en suite bathroom looked as though they had been recently decorated and were very nicely done. No expense had been spared. My only complaints were that the upstairs hallway was unbearably hot and nobody attended to the room whilst we were out. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful stay here. The available food was unusual and not as described on their website so be aware but it was still tasty and served its purpose of filling us up before we went out. There is onsite parking which consisted of two spaces and a disabled bay so they will be allocated on a first come first served basis. I believe that there is public parking nearby but cannot confirm.”

“Great food, great service. Recommend all locals to try”

“Granth has been amazing!! Yesterday I went on dinner date and it was soo good. I love the atmosphere, food was absolutely amazing and delicious. N served by Granth who is an amazing person and great at his work. Full of recommendations!! Would love to come back again. Thanks for the great evening.”

“This place changed hands recently (late 2023), so the previous photos and reviews are no longer relevant. It is still a Korean restaurant, now called Yami. It now has Korean BBQ, Sushi, Korean fried Chicken, Bibimbap etc. It does lack some dishes the old place had (no Gimbap or udon soups) but is still good food and inexpensive. £20 for half a fried chicken and Bibimbap.”

“Johnathan (hope I spelt it correctly) was incredibly helpful and attentive to me when looking for a futon. He was super patient and so knowledgeable . Serving me while making time for all other customers and kindly held something for me to come back for later . Very happy with our purchase . 10/10 service!”

“Recently stayed here for its fantastic location near to the station and all amenities, staff were extremely helpful and considerate going above and beyond. It’s cheap and cheerful and very clean as you would expect. When I couldn’t figure out how to work the elevator key one kind lady offered to come up with me to demonstrate. Others were also very approachable and more than happy to offer assistance. It’s so rare to find kind and responsive team members these days, they really made my stay and made us feel so welcome. Thank you to all the staff at Kingston Travelodge, it was truly a pleasure!”

“Wow!!! This is a fantastic and convenient spot to get sushi whenever you want it. This is because this sushi gourmet place has a large range of options and choice. The choices vary from the simplicity of a Nigiri to salads and big rolls. It has options of small and £10 boxes of nigiri and other sushi rolls and bigger portions of £20 that are more complicated rolls. It has deliveroo as takeaway and delivery service. However, it’s in Sainsbury’s in the centre right at the back of the store. This doesn’t mean that it has a bigger difference on this gourmet style and other Japanese restaurant. It only contains sushi and not brothers or other Japanese dishes as it’s only a Sushi Gourmet. When I go there I always get the nigiri rolls because they’re fresh and simple and also delicious. I’ve also been to other Japanese authentic restaurants and it’s different regarding the taste of the sushi because it’s not a chain but a single restaurant. However it’s not that big of a difference regarding freshness.”

“Delicious food, quick service, central location (hidden away). We’ve had the carbonara, spinach & ricotta ravioli, crab ravioli, black spaghetti with seafood*, lemon & prawn linguine*, black seafood risotto and wild boar ravioli. All were super tasty. Also the feta with honey is so good. Great selection of juices, smoothies, coffee. Delighted to realise Nakos is now open in the evenings for dinner too! And dog friendly. (*see photos). Nakos has become my favourite place to eat in Kingston!”

“Eleena's is wonderful. Glad we found this quaint little place. Only in London for a few days and only wish we would have found this sooner. The food was beautifully seasoned, the service was a delight and just an all around great place. Can we get a carbon copy of this great restaurant back in the US?”

“Lovely piece of Portugal in Kingston. Delicious food, coffee with great friendly service. Well stocked wine "library". I asked for a recommendation for a medium priced red wine to accompany a steak dinner. It wasn't too much trouble for the owner to recommend from the wide offerings, which was much appreciated.”

“Lucy was so kind and helpful! Her honest advice really made a difference when we were choosing our sofa for the lounge. The order even arrived earlier than the estimated lead time, which was a lovely surprise. We’re very happy with our purchase and have just returned to the store to order more furniture for other rooms — and we were delighted to be assisted by Lucy again!”

“Best fish and chips around, great quality, friendly staff”

“Really great Chinese takeaway. Much better than some of the other Chinese takeaways in the area that I've tried, and at a competitive price. I'll definitely be back as long as quality stays consistent.”

“Perfect for a traditional fish and chips experience. Great portion size and lovely owners too! I love the crispy shrimps as well.. Will definitely be back ❤️”

“Good sales and delivery services. I have my dresser, side board and dinning chairs in good quality and on time.”

“Restaurant serves delicious Indian food. Their Tawa Paneer and Butter naan are scrumptious. Service was good and the restaurant owner is exceptionally Kind and friendly!”

“Dino is fantastic. We had haddock and chips and whitebait and chips with a battered sausage. Mushy peas were excellent too. Perfect traditional chippie! Thank you!”

“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.”

“I had an excellent experience at Sushi Point – Kingston. The service was outstanding, with very friendly and attentive staff. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, with generous portions and great quality. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and highly recommend.”
