Freshness in Croydon

“Came after work so quite late but the guy inside, Hamid, was really kind. I didn’t give a really good description what hairstyle I want to have, but even without a description he absolutely nailed it and I love the style he cutted. I will definitely come again and can highly recommend to everyone.”

“Finally an outstanding chicken kutsu curry in Croydon! The food was absolutely delicious and very large portions. I could smell the freshly cut cucumbers from my chicken bibimbap. The lady at the till was really nice and we will definitely go there again.”

“In the heart of Croydon, a Sri Lankan restaurant, from the outside it did not suggest anything good, in reality, a really charming, clean and well-kept restaurant. short waiting times. GREAT FOOD really tasty. reasonable prices. Really courteous staff also very friendly manger. bathrooms clean and well maintained. if you are in the area I recommend it. great! Also plates are really nice with sun and moon.”

“Very friendly staff with excellent meat! Great cakes and pastries.”

“One of my office colleagues invited me to lunch and I was really impressed by the food quality and taste of Tortilla Burritos at Boxpark Croydon. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is good and you get an amazing atmosphere at Boxpark. Overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this place.”

“Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“Lovely staff and owner in here. The food is great value, fresh and tasty. The coffee is great too.”

“I lived in the round the corner for twenty years and only just tried this place. It was a great breakfast with the best toast in the area, wish I'd started going sooner.”

“Awesome to have a Polish shop in Croydon. This one is the best around. Fresh food and friendly staff.”

“Went in for a lunch deal, which at £6.99 is quite reasonable for burger and fries. Burger was delicious, generous portion of fries, and plenty of sauce on the side. Was cooked to order so was hot and fresh. Really tasty. Will be back again for lunch.”

“Really good tasty food, great menu, nice friendly staff. Love the masala dosa.”

“I love this restaurant!! The food and service is excellent!! I would eat here ever! So much love and good quality food”

“Came from Australia to see family and an awesome pub with great beer and drinks to have a great experience. Staff were amazing and know how to make a good espresso martini. Definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Excellent pizza place, toppings are fresh and not greasy. Went there just before closing time, the cook made a small mistake and broke one of the sizes on a 15" he then gave a medium also for free I didn't even ask or would have noticed. Great customer service from a returning customer. Thank you.”

“The one on Ruskin Parade us closed. Perhaps s change of name or shut for good. There's another one on London Road with the same name. There's Terra House, a Romanian shop and bakery on Brighton Road on the left hand side as we face the North before the Bridge and Nuevo Ponte Restaurant.”

“A great shop, not too big/overwhelming and plenty of parking. Lots of deals on throughout the store. Took my 2 young kids for half term activities and found many bargains and things for them to do”

“Highly recommended – a solid 10 out of 10 and definitely worth a try. It’s a long-missed taste of Asia. The laksa is outstanding, the stir-fried ho fun is full of wok hei, and the Malaysian white coffee is excellent. All that, and the prices are very reasonable too.”

“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!”

“No longer Aqua. Noto Italian restaurant and café. My mixed grill was very good and I was full. Wife had seabass and said it was tasty. They are going to have jazz and r n b lunchtimes in the near future so give it a try and a follow.”

“Taste of India is the perfect spot to fill our hearts if we are away from home and missing our food. The quality of their dishes and service is highly excellent, and they provide unique dishes that are hard to find elsewhere. Also interesting is their setting and interior decor , which reflects Indian culture.”

“I had an amazing afternoon at The Store. The service was outstanding. The manager was welcoming and kind. I came to do some work during their Friday hotdesk session. She let me know where the sockets were for my laptop, welcomed me to make myself comfortable, and kept checking if I was okay. I ended up eating from the hotdesk menu, where you can get unlimited coffee. I had two meals, both were really nice and well presented. I called my brother to join me because it was so nice and he came and we had cocktails to end a successful work session. They were delicious also. It was fairly quiet in there. When I first arrived there was a lovely mum and baby club at the back in a separate space, so there was plenty of space to sit and feel comfortable. I usually use headphones when I’m out but the vibe was good and the music was comforting so I didn’t use my headphones. The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere and stunning decor. I felt really focused. The lights that hang over the tables could do with a wipe though, as there was some dirt that looked like it might fall into the table. One of those things that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Overall it was a brilliant spot and I will be visiting much more regularly now. Highly recommended.”

“Unreal. This place is the real deal for authentic neopolitan pizza. You won't regret giving them a try if you love good pizza.”

“Good to purchase Asian and Indian cereal and spices.”

“Great furniture store and cafe. We had to return some furniture as we ordered the wrong item our mistake. The return process was easy you just enter a code then go to a till 40 seconds and it was all done. We then headed upstairs to try the cafe, it was breakfast time so that's what we had I tried the £2.99 vegetarian breakfast it was delicious the coffee tasted good also. For the price and quality it without a doubt its a great breakfast stop. Someone on the reviews said on their visit the cafe was dirty, on my visit I found the cafe area spotless and fresh throughout. My appreciation to the cleaning staff thanks. After that we headed through the store again I really enjoyed it I found no faults whatsoever. Disabled access is brilliant throughout. My only concern was all the staff we encountered were very unhappy and non engaging without any exceptions such a shame, perhaps its not a good place to work maybe.”

“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.”

“Today I had unusual Turkish food. This guy has been here since 2001 and met the owner. Very nice some people should make a visit to this Mazi Restaurant in west Croydon.”

“I recently dined at Crown & Pepper, and I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by one of the staff members. From the moment we were seated, Rohit went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. No matter how many questions we had about the menu, ingredients, or even recommendations, Rohit was always there with a friendly smile and a detailed answer. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they patiently explained everything we needed to know, making sure we felt comfortable with our choices. Whether it was dietary restrictions, customization requests, or even just curious inquiries about the dishes, they were attentive and accommodating every step of the way. What really stood out was their genuine enthusiasm for making our experience enjoyable. They checked on us regularly, ensuring our needs were met without being overbearing. The level of care and attentiveness we received was truly above and beyond. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to customer satisfaction, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a dining experience where you feel truly taken care of, I highly recommend visiting crown & pepper and asking for Rohit. Their exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back thanks to their outstanding hospitality.”

“Myself and my daughter went for dinner expecting a nice pub roast, but the menu was Thai only, well we chose from the menu we ate and my God the food was absolutely out of this world great choice too, enjoyed it thoroughly.”
