The 30 Best London dining experience in Croydon

“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.”

“Went in with a group of friends and the portion sizes were big enough to fill us to the brim! Beautiful food, lovely ambience, and we were sat in the little carpeted book but didn't feel forgotten. Recommend to anyone looking to treat their tastebuds”

“Best chips I’ve had down south - proper chippy chips. Gentleman was very nice and welcoming, think I was the last guy in as they were closing. 10/10.”

“A great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors—sitting in the garden here is always a treat. It’s a very friendly and welcoming spot, made even better by the amazing bartender, Ian. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, even learning a few words from my native language, which truly meant a lot. I'm always greeted with the biggest smile, and it’s clear the place wouldn’t be the same without him. A genuinely great guy who adds so much to the atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“We were searching for fish and chips it was like 10.00 pm we couldn’t find any shops only this was opened. We thought they are going to be grumpy because it was closing time. They welcomed us with big smile and they are happy to serve us. I thought maybe they will give leftovers. But they did it from scratch. Tasty, crispy, fresh fish with thin batter that’s what I like . Well packed in a separate boxes easy to carry without mess. They were friendly and generous. I am not a fish and chips person because I don’t oily, saggy cold and thick batters . I would say this is the best place for fish and chips.”

“Lovely food Good potion sizes Never had a problem and been ordering from here for 6+ years Nice staff”

“Lovely atmosphere and great choice of authentic Turkish food! Keep up great work guys!!!”

“The food was absolutely amazing! Very nice. I enjoyed the all the curries I ordered it was amazing. My favourite was the biryani with the lentil curry. Thank you Balti express for my experience. I will be visiting more often!”

“Delicious Food and very nice and friendly staffs. If you looking for a real south Indian food. Here we go this is the place for that "The Kerala".”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“Food is delicious, especially the chicken and black bean sauce and Hong Kong style chicken. Really sweet lady who works in the store. Delivery is super fast. Originally we use to go to phoenix, but their food quality dropped, so we tried new star and have been happy ever since.”

“Really friendly service and tasty food! Will definitely visit again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really amazing place! Lovely staff and very chilled vibe. The quality of the food is exceptional - the best scones I’ve ever had and the bacon is a real hit. I really recommend and can’t wait to come back.”

“Lovely play cafe.. there are 2 different soft play area for kids to play in… Have never seen my 13 month old enjoy his day this much. It wasn’t too busy too which I like because my child can easily get overstimulated sometimes. Very attentive staff too. I forgot to ask for her name but we will defo come back more often for sure x”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“Loved the pizza. Delicious. The day driver Shabbir delivered the pizza quick and piping hot. Loved the quick and efficient service. Driver was extremely poltie and well mannered. Defo ordering from here again.”

“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.”

“Absolutely brilliant food, generous portions, lovely customer service!”

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

“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.”

“Amazing job. I've recently received my sofa and wadrobe . The items came in good condition and delivery was good. The fit guy put them together for me . He did an amazing job and made sure that everything was place based to my plan. He did also gave advances , communicate every step of work I'm really happy with the service offered and I highly recommend House2Home”

“I can’t get enough of this kebab takeaway! Their meat selection is not only incredibly delicious but also comes in truly generous portions. You’ll never leave hungry. What truly makes this place special, though, is the owner – a kind and authentic gentleman who never forgets to greet you with a friendly wave every time you pass by. It’s the perfect combination of mouthwatering food and a warm welcome.”

“The best take away Restaurant in South Croydon. The food is amazing - trust me! I’ve been going there for the past 6 years.”

“Best Thai in Croydon. Having been to Thailand and tried most Thai outlets around Croydon, I think this is currently the most authentic I’ve experienced. Usually our go to takeaway but went to the restaurant for first time yesterday. Same great food & waitress was amazing; working insanely hard to keep everyone happy. Great job Tuk Tuk!”

“I’m loving these little gem popping up locally and what amazing food Really seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The chef is brilliant and the atmosphere is tranquil I would recommend this place to anyone The kısır was delightful and the Adana and chicken shish was spot on and I was very impressed.”

“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.”
