Quality meals in Purley

“Really friendly, welcoming place. Fabulous deli with a great selection of Portuguese food and wines. The home-made Portuguese sausages are fantastic. A true gem in Purley.”

“Been here before to pick up just avocado maki; this time I was in a rush so explained this to the shop owner who was professional and polite, said he could make me up a sushi box in the 10 mins I had if I chose quickly. After changing my choice a couple of times he was patient enough to go with it and I settled on the Omega Box (8 Salmon & Avocado Rolls, 6 Salmon Maki, 6 Avocado Maki) which came with soya sauce, wasabi paste (firmer and drier than usual sushi box wasabi, possibly better quality?) - with a 10% takeaway discount it came to £11.69. Sushi rice was room-temperature (as best enjoyed), well-seasoned and good texture, fresh-tasting fish and avocado, with a good amount of filling in the salmon & avocado rolls; really enjoyed and plan to return!”

“Good to purchase Asian and Indian cereal and spices.”

“great fresh pizza with great variety of toppings and styles. Service is fast too. Will def recommend”

“Absolutely love this pizza shop! Fresh ingredients, perfectly crispy crust, and tons of flavor in every bite. Friendly staff and quick service made it even better. Can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Caroline was such a lovely host! Happy to accommodate my strange questions & requests as a vegan. Me and my mate were really happy to be served by her and you can tell she takes pride in her job.”

“Food was fresh and especially the tandoori chicken.”

“Actually so confused about the bad reviews. I ordered before looking at them - saw the bad reviews as food was en route and had a bit of a panic. The food was hot upon arrival, flavoursome and didnt inflict any sort of food poisoning- and I have a VERY weak stomach when it comes to food related illnesses. Again, flabbergasted at the bad reviews- 10/10 would order again!”

“Fantastic food and super tasty , ordered for the office and they enjoyed it so much ! As the order was over £500 we received free drinks and starters , such a great Christmas treat to my staff ! Thanks”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Purley Dragon! I honestly don’t understand all the bad reviews — they couldn’t be further from the truth. Every time I’ve been to Purley Dragon, the food has been incredible — always hot, fresh, and full of flavour. The portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They’re polite, welcoming, and always happy to accommodate special requests or dietary needs. You can tell they really care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. The restaurant is always clean, cosy, and has such a warm atmosphere — it’s perfect for a takeaway night or a casual meal out. I’ve tried a lot of Chinese places around the area, and none come close to the taste or service here. If you’re hesitating because of the negative reviews, don’t. Give Purley Dragon a try — you’ll see for yourself how wrong those comments are. Once you do, you’ll never go anywhere else for Chinese again!”

“Tried the vegetarian green and beets and loved it. The sushi guy at the counter was as cute as Keanu Reeves!!!”

“Lovely cafe near Riddlesdown station. Wide range of hot and cold drinks including smoothies, nice egg breakfast selection and toasties and burgers. Some of the menu is halal, ask before you order. Recommend”

“I really liked the atmosphere, it reminded me a lot of Italy. The food is excellent, the dishes are beautiful, the wine is very good. The prices vary, but overall it is not expensive. The atmosphere is not very large, so if there are a lot of people it is a good idea to make a reservation, especially on the weekend. But I will come back if possible. It is not wheelchair accessible, there is a small staircase at the entrance.”

“A wonderful dining experience. The steak was cooked to perfection – tender and full of rich flavour. The chorizo in wine was outstanding, beautifully seasoned and bursting with taste. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Argentine cuisine.”

“10/10 food, never had a bad one. Garlic chilli lamb is a favourite. Great spices and flavours.”

“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.”

“Out of all the other wood fired pizzas I have tried. This one by far is the best, due to the simple fact that they use sour dough bread. Cannot be beaten . Amazing service! Pizza served with a smile. Would give a 6 star if available.”

“Came home after 5 pints and absolutely smashed 5 chicken balls, half a Singapore vermicelli and half a mixed veg in oyster sauce, will undoubtedly smash the rest tomorrow lunch time. Absolutely banging”

“We stayed for 2 nights in the London Hilton in Croydon. What a wonderful place Food was great . Staff were great. So clean and lovely staff. We attended a wedding nearby. What an amazing place. Would highly recommend. Thank you all for your hospitality”

“Amazing restaurant, food and the vibes! will definitely be coming back here again! Shoutout to Jose and Vlad for making our experience here very special - well done boys!”

“I love the staff. Most of them are my friends now because they are so friendly and kind. Always a smile and patience beyond measure. I've seen it tested. One guy is annoying to both customers and staff but we all just ignore him mostly. The chicken however is flipping delicious. It's so flavourful. I highly doubt anyone would be disappointed if they try it for themselves. Better than chicken cottage on London rd. Better than KFC by far. Better than that one chicken shop of church street (I'm so sorry to say but it's true). Obviously I like chicken, hot wings in particular so I know what's up. This place is dope.”

“Best in the area by a distance. Freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Plenty of flavour and nice staff as well. I made the mistake of trying another Chinese in the area while these guys were closed and won't be ordering from anywhere else in purley other than these guys again.”

“This place is brilliant Zahid khan is the best worker! Absolutely amazing”

“So neat and tidy and well stocked. Great little local shop.”

“I had a great experience at Pizza Hut. Alfie and the staff were really welcoming and helpful especially with ordering of the violife pizza which was quite confusing for both sides. Great pizzas as well as the salad bar.”

“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.”

“We ordered vegetarian spring rolls Mushroom stir fry Chow mein vegetarian Banana fritters for desserts . Vv tasty,piping hot Fresh ,tasty ,good quality.”

“My opinion of this food outlet is contrary to some of the reviews below. This is a family run business and everyone that i have ever dealt with have been friendly, happy and very polite. The food is tasty, healthy and high quality. See the photo below of my order this evening. (my personal favourite is the lamb mutton curry, meat always tender/good quality) Purley doesn't have any good food takeaways, in fact the standard is shocking, but Baxfood is the exception to this. Thank god they chose Purley to base their business.”

“Food is, of course, a matter of taste and we had absolutely no complaints with the collection of dishes we bought from here. It was cooked quickly and we had absolutely no concerns about the quality of either the ingredients or the way they were cooked.”
