The 30 Best Fine dining experiences in Orpington

“Wow fantastic place! The ice cream and coffee is amazing! Can not recommend it enough. Staff are so lovely. Will definitely be going back very soon!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love this Nando’s! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavour — exactly what you want from a proper peri-peri fix. The staff here are friendly, welcoming, and super efficient, even during busy times. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere whether you're popping in for a quick bite or having a relaxed meal with friends. Shoutout to the team for always delivering great service and making each visit a good one. Can’t fault it — one of the best Nando’s around!”

“My 1st visit was November 24 and somehow I got mixed feelings for this place. After reading good reviews and that they have been rewarded one of the best when I went there felt a little disappointing. Stuff were absolutely chaotic and shouting to one another not paying attention to clients. The menu was missing many meals who can you have a fish section and only serve prawns and no other fish. I ordered keema naan and it was crispy and had like a blob of meat in the middle. Most of the food I eat in other places is far better. The atmosphere with this blue light is blinding.”

“Absolutely love this place! Our favourite Turkish restaurant. The food is always top quality, full of flavour and beautifully presented (just look at the photos!). The service is consistently amazing, the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Whether it’s the grilled meats or the delicious desserts, everything is spot on. Highly recommend!”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“Our favorite restaurants in Orpington and we go there often. The lobster dish is absolutely delicious and perfect for two people to share. The best we had for a lobster dish. Lots of good seafood dishes that you won’t find in other restaurants around here. The salads is delicious that even I who isn’t a big fan of salad like it. Their children menu is also good. We particularly like the nutritious and healthy fish and veggies dish for our son. He cleared the whole plate. Very friendly staff and chefs. The price is very good too for what you get. Highly recommend it.”

“Great food - the fish soup is full of flavor and supplemented with a small basket of tasty bread, king prawn risotto is super delicious Good service, only £14.8 for two courses at lunch is absolutely worth for value Only a small drawback is that the cappuccino is just fair”

“I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The place was nearly empty due to covid19. As per the restaurant manager there's more footfall during Mondays to Wednesdays because of 50% off from the benefits of eat out government policy . The food served was fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. Since there was no one else in the restaurant, social distancing was easily carried out.”

“What an absolutely incredible experience I had finding this random gem in Orpington when out with my mum on May 3rd bank holiday. This was before restrictions were lifted so we were seated outside but given blankets to wrap up in, and had the most amazing service from our waitress Karina! She was so attentive and just a star!! It was soooo windy but that didn’t dampen our experience whatsoever. We each had a managal combo plate (spicy chicken and lamb chops which were humongous) with bulgur wheat, spicy rice, and 2 types of salad. The home made bread was lush. Cooked to perfection and even given mint tea and baklava on the house after! Couldn’t recommend this place more and thank you Ozzy for stopping to chat with us after! And Karina for being such a genuine sweetheart when catering to us. Can’t wait to come back for my mums birthday, delicious food, fantastic prices, and fabulous staff!”

“In all they years that my Lucky the Poodle had been to any groomers no one apart from Freya managed to do as an amazing job each time. Great service and great value. Would highly recommend!”

“Very nice restaurant, clean and tidy, the staff are friendly, food is delicious. I will definitely come back again”

“Another excellent meal lovely food and service. Served quickly.”

“Fabulous food and fabulous staff. Not just a meal but an experience.. Highly recommended. Thanks Mehmet and Maria ;-)”

“Had my baby brunch here with my group of friends was a really love place to host a special day. Food was great. And we had a lovely lad Luca hosting our table great service and all around really lovely cosy pub/restaurant. Will be back with the family…”

“Delicious Indian food with really pleasant and friendly staff. Portions are good and the food is well presented. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be returning :)”

“They are BACK! The team at Simla Balti make easily the best curry I’ve ever come across in the South East and I’m so glad they have reopened after over 3 months closure. The food is delicious, always piping hot and consistently amazing. They will customise all your favourites just how you want them, little bit hotter or not, sauce from one with chicken from another dish etc. Great prices and really friendly staff. Thanks Simla Team, best curry for miles!”

“Very happy with service. The food is always nice. Would highly recommend.”

“Food was good and the staff friendly (Elise-sorry if I’ve misremembered your name). The place was clean and comfortable with easy parking. There was a small delay with the food being served at that particular time due to a wake being held in another private room but we were kept informed and apologies were offered. Would recommend The Chelsfield Arms.”

“A really lovely local pub.We received a warm welcome from the Land Lady (on my very first visit today) and from the regulars who constantly fed my Golden Retriever with treats. Next time, I won't bother to feed him beforehand!! I will certainly be returning, especially as it's in walking distance.”

“We have been here a few times now and honestly, it just keeps getting better and better. The staff is lovely and very accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious and probably some of the best Chinese food in the area. I have made my mission to try a new dish every time we go back just so that I can go through the whole menu. That’s how much I enjoyed it.”

“I’m the kebab dude in the Burberry shorts :) I told them I’d leave a review as my meal was phenomenal, the chicken kebab is to die for, you guys should put a big sign outside advertising it! You could go viral over a meal like that!”

“An exquisite little gem with an amazing staff, delicious food and great drinks. Highly recommended!”

“Lovely place run by the college and the students great food and amazing service and all very affordable, would recommend to everyone”

“Went for Christmas Day Lunch, with my wife and a friend. Food was hot, well cooked and well presented with decent quantities - no skimping! No issues whatsoever; apart from the fact that we may need to book months earlier next year! We are irregular customers, and have never had a reason to complain about anything over the years we have been using The Black Horse.”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Orpington. We ordered Tofu, and it was delicious, literally melting. The Pork and Chicken was really nice, it was recommended by the staff. The staff is really friendly. A reasonably priced restaurant must visit.”

“Had a great time on Friday night at the Queens head. The pub was electric and the music was terrific, would very much recommend it. The staff were very friendly and efficient especially Jack the landlord and Tracey.”

“I don’t normally order Chinese and this is my 2nd time ordering here with friends. Was told delivery was hour and it came within 40 minutes. Much better than other Chinese takeaways and restaurants around the area. Food still just as good as last time and would come again!”

“Had a private event and had two lovely members of staff called Shan and Meg and they were fantastic all night”

“Food is absolutely delicious! 5 stars is not enough!”

“Great food and attentive waiters. New items on the menu which look good so we will be back to try. Popular with our friends who travel from outside of Orpington to enjoy. Only slight comment is about the lighting, please please change ‘bright’ light bulbs for ‘soft’ light bulbs to make a better ambience. Just turning them down doesn’t really work as they are too harsh but everything else Amazing.”
