Happy dining experience in 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.”

“Excellent Stay, great staff and good food and drinks, thanks to the reception staff for sorting the rooms out for us. Very professional housekeeping staff. Overall great hotel, close to local restaurants and public transportation.”

“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.”

“Fabulous food, great service and a lovely atmosphere! We love this place, by far one of the best restaurants in South Croydon. Thank you :)”

“Best goat curry I've had in London! Fantastic oxtail too. Very reasonable prices too 10/10 would recommend.”

“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.”

“Very good prices and delicious food! I bought food from "Little Beijing" many times - not even once been disappointed. The staff it's very fair and square about what they can deliver or not, puting safety first of all and no quality compromises. Honestly speaking, it's a top one! And I've tried a lot before finding this one.”

“Had a fantastic evening at Inaga's Elvis night. Great singer a perfect gentleman. Lovely food. It's a must see. We went for my mums 80th she was totally overwhelmed and not stopped talking about it. Thankyou so much for the entertainment. Loved every bit.”

“Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.”

“I flew here from Melbourne where you can't find Foster's on tap anywhere (go figure!). The beer is great, and most are pulled from a traditional pump. The fish and chips is up there with the the best I've had. This place vibes like I would hope every little street pub would vibe. It's a shame I have to fly back home to the other Croydon in Melbourne.”

“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.”

“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”

“The best Chinese take away in Croydon. The flavours are amazing, portion sizes match the price also. The customer service is great. Also you can pay by card unlike a lot of Chinese takeaways in the area. My go to is a Kong pow king prawn with special fried rice.”

“My favorite cafe love the Cappuccino, food&the service of the staff is 5 star.I strongly disagree with the negative people That have put negative posts up about Cafe Tresor,I've been drinking cappuccino &ordering toasted chicken healthily food wraps.On a whole I dont like a full English breakfast but I have had it from here.They do it to your exact order here.Its always so busy.They have outside sitting also.The staff are really friendly very helpful.Atmosphere is A+.They never mind you taking photos Plus the owner is very friendly.”

“First time @Ayat and loved it. Good was great, flavour dishes prepared with care. Interior looks great has it's own unique flair although music was to loud. Service was a bit lacking. We where seated promptly and our food came out in timely manner but the waitress didn't check on us at all (she was on her phone all the time we where there as we could see from our spot). We need to get up and ask her for another round of drinks as she wasn't paying any attention to us at all.And then she got our simple order for drinks wrong, we where the only costumers there so no distractions and it was quite early an a lazy Sunday. Hope that the service does improve as the food was delicious. Will come back to give it another chance for sure.”

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”

“The fox and hound is a traditional Irish style pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Beers such as Stella, Guinness ect. No craft beers but good draft. this keeps the pub affordable. Karaoke on a Friday nights and live music on a Saturday. The Wolfe tones often play here.”

“The staff in this restaurant are always super friendly and the service is excellent. The restaurant is always very clean and tidy and the food is fab, a special thanks to Daisy for looking after us on or visit today, we will be back again soon.”

“We held our Christmas party at Project B last night. It was such a fun time in a fabulous venue! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us including setting up table tennis! The DJ mixed in our favourite requests and kept us dancing through the night. I would highly recommend Project B.”

“This restaurant is superb. Everything is homemade, even the chilli and garlic sauces, and the meat is wonderfully spiced and flavoursome. It is family run and operated and the pride that goes into the food and service is apparent. I would not hesitate to dine here again and to recommend this place to friends and family.”

“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.”

“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”

“Stumbled across this restaurant and have to say its a hidden gem. The service was 10/10 and the food was amazing. I had one of their signature lamb curry's which was recommended by the manager and it didn't fail. Will definitely be back.”

“I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.”

“I ordered starters crispy squid, gizzard and there was another order of chofi. Must say the squid wasn’t nice at all. It was shaped like nuggets not your usual ring shape which made it taste battery instead of tasting the actual squid quite disappointing. Must say the rest of the starters that was ordered were really nice and well seasoned. Also the moko it came with was delicious. I got jollof as takeaway yet to taste it. Deffo do recommend this restaurant service was great.”

“Very good nice food. Good service”

“Price on the Waffle and Chicken/Prawn dish is steep at first glance but the amount of food you get and quality is great. Customer service from the employees was great. Clean front area and clean open kitchens where you can see the food being prepared. Fruit punch is amazing.”

“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.”

“Best Sri Lankan place nice dosa. Friday lunch menu for set price is great.”
