Me time in Kingston Upon Thames

“Very welcoming cafe with much appreciated bike stands! Really enjoyed the lentil soup”

“Had an amazing dinner at Roz Ana! Someone had recommended this place to us previously, so we decided to head there when the craving for Indian food hit, and it far exceeded our expectations. It was our first time trying momos, and we were thoroughly impressed by how well the spices blended together. The skin of the momos had a lovely texture — it wasn’t too tough or doughy — and the dipping sauce complemented them perfectly. The other dishes we ordered were equally good and flavourful. I particularly enjoyed the chicken tikka Laphroaig masala (hope I got the spelling right), which paired beautifully with the naans. The fried fish (amritsari macchi) was another highlight, with its crisp, tasty batter. The fish was fresh, with none of the taste or smell of overused oil that you sometimes encounter elsewhere. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and experience at Roz Ana. I’ll definitely be returning!”

“Amazing experience. The perfect English breakfast. No fuss, just honest old school service and food. Great to see there is such a great place smack in the middle of kingston. Price is excellent. Waiters are amazing. Well done”

“We went there to see "as December falls". I will be honest, I'm in my late 40's and went mainly to support my youngest (20). I can honestly say I really enjoyed myself, it had the vibe of a rock/metal gig venue from 25-30 years ago, everyone looking out for each other, but with a modern twist, a new generation following the old school values of doing their best to just love the music and doing all the can to help others enjoy it too. The other thing that struck me is the price of drinks, here in Surrey we are sadly used to being hammered by drink prices, and I fully expected the drinks to be on the he pricey side, especially as we were a captive audience, that had choice but pay the prices they charged. The date was the 15/08/2025 and 2 single vodkas with cranberry came to £11 (something). I have paid a lot more in places I have enjoy far less in the area. Finally, without going into detail, we had some additional needs, we needed a chair for the gig part, and honestly it was no trouble, we told one person at the bar, I didn't catch his name, but but the time we got into the gig part, all the staff knew, and were descreetly on hand if needed Thanks to all the staff at the fighting cocks, those at banquet records who ran the music part, and to As December Falls for a brilliant albeit hot and sticky night”

“Amazing location and great service. Definitely recommend specially for a long weekend.”

“Ranya Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The service is attentive, respectful, and genuinely caring without ever feeling rushed. The food is absolutely delicious, and my favorite dish was the Pacha Tashreeb. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, with amazing depth of taste. The bread soaked up the broth beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. You can really tell it’s made with care and authentic tradition. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and ideal for families or casual dining. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend Ranya Restaurant, especially if you want to try an outstanding Pacha Tashreeb. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Lovely little cafe by the river. Tuna melt and cappuccino were both delicious! Lots of benches and dog friendly.”

“Fantastic Sunday roast, always our 1st choice of pub in Kingston when heading out as a family. Staff are really friendly and it has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Spring Grove has never disappointed us, top pub!”

“Excellent, Professional Service. A huge thanks to Luke Jones for making the property viewing such a relaxed and straightforward experience. He was professional, helpful, and made the whole process feel simple. Stirling Ackroyd's excellent communication and service continued while making an offer and sorting the contracts. Great estate agency who deliver the experience you want.”

“Fantastic pub with excellent service! The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. They have a unique lineup of beers, especially the IPAs, which were some of the best I’ve had in a while. The atmosphere was great—lively but still relaxed, and the backyard is a perfect spot for smokers to unwind. Highly recommend this place for a great drink and a great vibe!”

“Replacement clutch on my Volvo V40. I dealt with Matt who provided excellent service throughout as well as dealing with my warranty company. A gentleman! I will definitely use again.”

“My car was towed here via RAC at midday on Friday as my clutch needed replacing and car wasn’t drivable. I received a lovely phone call at 8:30am on the Saturday morning, not even 24 hours after being towed to tell me my car was all done and ready to collect!! Amazing service, communication and incredibly fair pricing for the work done. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back if needing more repairs in the future!”

“Shazia was sooo super helpful! Came in to find some work shoes after struggling looking online for ages, she instantly put in the effort to help me find a replacement for the ones I originally ordered. Such great customer service!”

“What a great place either to take a break or just to indulge yourself if an almond croissant. Ps: I think the cheapest and greatest menu I have ever seen in London. Wish I lived closer !”

“My car battery was down and he gave me the jumper and I started my car.”

“Very professional and friendly team. We are with them for more than ten years.”

“Great local garage very impressed!”

“I needed a replacement valve for an old-fashioned bath tap. The staff guy had to search the stockroom for the right type. He opened it up to check the size, then recommended an equivalent item at a lower price. The whole thing took about 15 minutes - all for less than £12. Excellent service.”

“Easy to get hold of, extremely reliable, and very patient in explaining the process - highly recommended!”
