Friendly restaurant in Croydon

“I was an extremely happy regular customer, the food is exquisite. Good size portions and the quality is great. I'm very choosey about my food, and they have never let me down. I've since moved to Swindon, and regularly get food collected by family and brought down to me, because it really is the best. If it wasn't 2 hours away, I'd happily pay a delivery charge to get it !! The customer service is second to none, they really take pride in their food and creating the best meal for you. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Excellent eating place, clean good looking and staff are brilliant. The owner is Mo he's brilliant at suggesting really nice authentic Indian dishes if you want something a little more true to asian cooking he will cater for you. The only downside is the disable access to the restaurant and the bathroom, otherwise they are willing to help in any way they can. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Ps not badly priced either so looking forward to another visit before I leave London.”

“The food was amazing. We bought Ackee & Saltfish dumplings, festivals, BBQ chicken and Jerk chicken with Rice and peas. (Cannot believe we forgot the Plantain). The Guinness punch was also nice. The food was delivered within 45 mins and was pipping hot (and given we live 20mins away, this is a HUGE plus). I am assuming nothing was microwaved either as everything tasted fresh and well-made. Look forward to ordering from you again!”

“A very Clean and Comfortable Venue. The Food was delicious and the Staff were very polite and well mannered. Price is reasonable.”

“Always hot and fresh if you eat in/takeaway - coin toss with delivery services as usual. From my experience food is always made to order unlike at most fast food places - you might wait a few minutes but it's worth it.”

“Do not judge a book by its cover! Absolutely fantastic proper authentic Chinese full of flavour & very large portions! Pricing is too low for the Quality! I’ve been to plenty of high end Chinese restaurants & honestly this compares ! A little gem of a takeaway”

“Nice and quiet spot if you ever want a chilled meal with friends and family. Reasonable prices for food + the garden area is great in the summer. The mixed grill is good deal is you like steak. And they have plenty of other vegan/veggie alternatives.”

“I love the service! I have been coming here for years and have had an excellent experience throughout. The food and the portions are great, aswell as the customer service.”

“Since moving to No26, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to live. The rent is affordable for London, and the service is exceptional—particularly the ground floor, communal areas, and management spaces, which are all top-notch (and the music is a nice touch). My room is fantastic: modern, spacious, and comfortable, and any concerns I’ve had are addressed promptly by the management. I’ve been living here for a year now, and it’s been a truly enjoyable experience. The team, especially Hafeez, is incredibly welcoming, genuine, and knowledgeable—whenever I stop by to chat, I always leave feeling well taken care of. The apartments are spacious with high-quality finishes, and the amenities, particularly the co-working space and rooftop, are outstanding.”

“I buy everyday food in the peri peri its too good very hygiene. I suggest to everyone go to the shop and eat food from peri peri”

“It tastes amazing especially the halal pepperoni it smells like a dream and it’s so cheesy and nice”

“Delicious and hot pizza as always would highly recommend to try out their food specially meat feast vegetarian hot pizzas with thin crust don’t forget to try their side orders as well nuggets and hot wings . Great service friendly staff and very fast delivery I will try out their other menu items as well for sure”

“I’ve been to this branch of Starbucks a couple of times recently and it’s been great. My friend is disabled, so parking is very convenient as there are Blue Badge parking spaces directly outside. Access is easy too. The staff are all friendly and you don’t feel rushed, even when it’s near closing time. One outstanding member of staff we encountered was Elaine, the manager, who is incredibly friendly, warm and kind. She was extremely considerate and helpful towards my friend, who needed to access the toilet. Elaine made sure she could navigate her way to the toilet safely and that there were no obstructions in her way. On our way out, just as the shop was closing, Elaine cheerfully called out to say goodbye, which was a lovely touch. It’s warm, friendly and helpful staff members like Elaine who contribute to a positive experience when visiting a coffee shop. Thank you Elaine. You’re an asset to Starbucks. Update: When I first encountered Elaine, I mistakenly thought she was the cleaner as she was mopping the floor. On my next visit she told me that she was actually the manager and had found my post hugely amusing. This just shows what a wonderful sense of humour Elaine has! It also shows how the manager is prepared to do any task that is required.”

“Just moved in, Rio was a star and made sure it all went as smoothly as possible and quite frankly it made a huge difference! Definitely a good way to start my time here!”

“Great takeaway. Friendly staff. Only negative is that they do not take card payments.”

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

“Must try chicken in peaking sauce yum!”

“As someone with a parent from the Caribbean can say really fantastic food here! Was excited to see this new place near by and can say it's some of the best we've had! We had Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtail which was packed with flavour including the rice. Mac and Cheese &, plantain also great. Was able to eat it in the Golden Ark pub two doors down as well as they have very friendly management! Will definitely be going again.”

“Really nice pizza! Friendly and helpful customer service when there was an issue with our delivery address, on new year's eve too. Would definitely use again. Thanks!”

“Great place for a Great Fish n Chips! Staff are super friendly ,Owner very welcoming and chatty. Always great fish and quick service . Highly recommend been going their for many many years .you be disappointed.”

“I have eaten here my whole life, I've never noticed any decline in food or service. Staff are always friendly, whether I pick up or order a delivery. I am a picky eater so I always have rather specific requests and they always accommodate my needs with a smile. I believe their food to be good value for money, my tummy has never not been satisfied eating here. Thank you Phoenix for delicious meals every time! :)”

“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”

“The best Chinese in south London!! Food is delicious and so reliable!! 110% would recommend. The owner knows us now and remembers our order which is so sweet :)”

“This is the best café/greasy spoon in the whole of south London. I say south London because I can’t comment on what cafés in other areas of London alike.. The owner is an amazing gentleman he is kind hospitable warm and welcoming. It is a comfortable service from start to end. He’s very attentive fantastic for families. Fantastic for builders fantastic for mums who just wanna have a cup of tea and a catch up. Or even if you’re going in for a hangover breakfast! This place is for everybody there are vegetarian halal and of course the traditional pork options. I myself eat halal food whilst my husband does not eat halal food and we both were able to have an exceptional meal. Cafés like this are the last of a dying breed this place is real community!”

“Reception staff are extremely efficient and friendly nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is very clean , basic ,but a good price for the quality and there is ample parking. The entrance from parking is shared with flats and its appearance is a bit grubby, but don’t be put off. Thank you”

“A good quality freshly made doner and other grilled items. The only thing is the wait time is usually higher than other restaurants since they make most of foods fresh. Other than that, everything is good and quality is awesome. It is few of the HMC certified shops in Croydon. Overall good.”

“First time using Ranna Ghor. We had one issue - received chicken Tikka Masala instead of paneer. I called the restaurant and they were genuinely sorry and very apologetic and got us a replacement promptly. How they react to a problem is often how I judge a place and this was good customer service. As for the food... excellent all round and we will definitely use again. Impressed!”

“Best Chinese around...egg fried rice is the best”
