“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“The new lady working in the bakery section (Daria) is fantastic. Her area is always clean, she communicates in four languages and makes the experience an enjoyable one. She is particularly great with dealing with difficult customers that TFC attracts. The bakery section is always fresh when she is there, very clean and difficult to stay away from! It would be fantastic if she worked there day and night!”

“Well stocked shelves. Quite easy to purchase.”

“Wow!! My second time here and I absolutely love the food and the lovely staff. I travelled 40 mins and I am not disappointed at all. Food fresh and cooked properly , we even got a free cake. We spent £30 for 2 large meals with rice , plantain and coleslaw , a large side of fried fish , 2 dumplings and drinks. All this for £30 and cooked perfectly in 2025 ?? You won’t find a better place than here. You definitely need to come here!! We couldn’t even wait to get home we ate in the car right in front of the shop lol.”

“Out of all Nurseries we looked at we decided to go with Fennies. I am truly impressed with the care and patience of the staff. Our daughter enjoys her time a lot at the nursery and is always excited to go there. We really thought she would not want us to leave and cry when we drop her off in the morning, but it turns out she loves to play with other children and enjoys all the activities at Fennies. Truly recommended.”

“I have been using this company for many years, and have to say they have become a massive part of my growing business. Always going well out of their way providing the best service, staff are fantastic, delivery drivers are extremely helpful, and even cover over products when dropped of too avoid them getting rained on. Above all extremely fairly priced. Would strongly recommend doing a price comparison on any building products from other suppliers as I have noticed just how much the competition has become more expensive. The timber is 1st class Quality and have a fantastic on hand tools. Massive thanks for all your help!”

“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!”

“The overall dining experience was truly delightful, and the food comes in very generous portions. I ordered the Lamb Cutlets, which is my preferred dish at every restaurant I visit, and the serving here was easily the best size I have ever encountered. The dish consisted of four substantial pieces, and the portion was definitely satisfying. I left the restaurant feeling completely full and content. I would highly recommend this establishment and plan to visit again soon. The staff was also friendly and exceptionally helpful, adding to the overall positive atmosphere.”

“There’s no need to describe the taste — just try it and see for yourself. The flavor is truly excellent! Plus, the place is very clean, hygienic, and the staff are wonderfully friendly. Definitely number one.””

“Real friendly staff and great service and absolutely the best chicken fillet burger on the estate”

“Visited for the Japanese cheesecake initially and to introduce a friend to this place as they are more local than me. Loved the selection of hot/cold drinks. Sat in even shared a table with other visitors which I thought was so nice and brought back the good times where people actually converse! Carrot cake was divine it was moist and tasty. Was there so long sat to near closing time! The basement has a really nice ambience to it aswell I'd come back again.”

I ordered a sea food sadhya, Malabar chicken biryani and Ada Pradaman payasam it tastes really good The portion size was good for the price. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would come back again.”

“I had an incredible experience at El Patio Spanish Tapas Restaurant tonight! The staff made us feel truly special, and meeting them added a personal touch to our evening. The food was out of this world, especially the chicken – the best I've tasted in years, reminiscent of my time in Spain. My mum and I had a fantastic night out, and her enjoyment added to the memorable atmosphere. Fantastic disbaled access! Highly recommend! Harry Wales”
