“The meal was perfect and delicious! Enjoying the food whilst feeling amazing with the lovely and friendly staff! Keep it up, and wish to see you soon again!”

“Had the vegetarian pho, it was fresh and flavoursome, big portion, served quickly and hot with friendly riendly polite service. With so many chain restaurants around these days this place is a really good independent alternative, highly recommend you try this place next time you fancy noodles or rice in Croydon!”

“The food here is truly authentic—every bite took me back to my Persian roots. The flavors were spot-on, prepared with such care and respect for tradition. The staff were warm and attentive, treating everyone like family, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere made the evening feel special. As a Persian, it’s rare to find a place that captures our cuisine and hospitality so beautifully. I’m so grateful for this gem and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone craving a taste of home or a heartfelt meal!”

“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!”

“We went for my son’s 9th birthday and everything was great. My son loved the food and he is a fussy eater! He ate the tomato pasta with garlic bread. Six people came including three adults and three children. Two children ate adult meals and all rated 5*s. I loved the atmosphere and the chef and waitress were amazing and attentive. I ate the seafood spaghetti and I enjoyed it i would say 4 out of 5. The pizza looked amazing and the calamari are definitely the two that stood out and we all took a liking to. My seat did need a shake to remove a little mess and the table had minor crumbs. Otherwise the table was ready when we arrived as I called ahead. All was put right quickly and we all very much enjoyed the meal.”

“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!”

“Finally a great pizza delivery / takeaway in Croydon. The pizza is very good, note:the pizza is not Neapolitan style. You can order online or at the place, the products are fresh and good quality. The desserts are also good. You can also buy Italian beers and wines. Recommended, I will come back soon.”

“Great little bar serving beers and wines on the Elmers End Green, Enjoy a pint or two and a wine and nibbles while watching the world go by. Fleur and her staff are excellent hosts amicable and friendly. Great friendly atmosphere.”

“Food was delicious. The decor is beautiful too. I had the scallops for starters and they were cooked to perfection and the lamb rump for main was also nice. The drinks / cocktails were rather expensive for a Croydon restaurant but they were also pretty good. Portions are not the biggest to order some sides if you’re hungry.”

“Excellent food at reasonable prices, good service and very COVID friendly! Would definitely go again!”

“Loved it!!!! The food was delicious, with the right amount of spice. The service was great, staff were very polite and very friendly.

“Affordable and good all day breakfast i enjoy it so much :)”

“Met with friends to have an evening meal. All the staff were very very friendly and very efficient. Food was top class, excellent. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you”

“Great pizza at a great price. I love pizza and normally make my own, but sometimes I'm in the mood for a delivery pizza. I used to just get it from the chains, but wanted to try a local place so ordered their double pepperoni. Price was much better than ordering from a chain, the delivery driver was very friendly, and the pizza had plenty of cheese and toppings. Meat, cheese, and sauce were all very good, but the base/crust was one of the best I've had. They have a really flavourful dough and it was cooked perfectly, giving it a nice texture and slight taste of char from the pizza oven. Definitely will order again from here rather than other places!”

“Me & my friends were looking for an English breakfast and came here to try it. The food, the service and the prices were really good. We loved it”

“I had the Sunday roast today and was genuinely impressed by the flavor. It was well-seasoned and, dare I say, even better than what I’ve had at Hawksmoor! I know that sounds bold, but it’s true. The service was fantastic as well; the staff were friendly and personable. The atmosphere was relaxing, making it a perfect spot to unwind. This place is truly a gem in Croydon, and I’ll definitely be coming back often!”

“One of the best off licence shops I've been too, good selection of sweet treats and staff are friendly every time.”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“This restaurant is more than twice the distance of my local one but so worth the extra travel time. The dim sum was exceptional, very high quality and well made. It was also very good value compared to the nearest biggest dim sum restaurant. An unexpected added bonus was the Saturday 1pm raffle which was good fun and very generous of the restaurant. Staff and service was great too. No dedicated parking is the only negative. I highly recommend and I will be returning again soon.”

“The best takeaway in South Croydon! Excellent service, speedy turn around time and so much food for the prices. Ordered for a part of 8 and they came very quickly with tons of different orders. Everyone had delicious meals, sides and naan. Can’t recommend enough!”

“I just ordered sweet and sour chicken. Very good. I am satisfied”

“Naga tikka biryani is the BEST. No other restuarant has compared to theirs always consistent with flavour and quality. Tandoori chicken is always juicy and flavourful. Naan is always perfect. Food is 10/10 always. Staff are efficient friendly and polite. Present well and always provide a great service.”

“Really good food nice friendly people I ordered 2 half pounders with 2 chips meals are 8 pounds so 16 pounds for a lot of food you can get half a chicken for 12 pound always clean never had a issue”

“Nice place, great service, tasty food & very reasonable prices. Perhaps a bit old fashioned but I don't mind that at all... next to a fab little old pub too, we need to keep these places open :-)”

“Feeling nostalgic as it was 20 years since I have been back in UK and my favorite banger and mash are still the best at weatherspoon”
