Quick lunch options in Kingston Upon Thames

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“I went to Giggling Squid – Kingston upon Thames for my birthday. It wasn’t busy as it was a weekday, and I absolutely loved it! The staff were so polite, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was calm with beautiful décor — lovely colours, chandeliers, and paintings. Everything was very clean and stylish, including the toilets. The seafood dishes were delicious, and although I had the lamb shank which wasn’t my favourite, it was still tasty. Perfect place for nice birthday photos and a great dining experience!”

“Arrived unannounced with 7 people and a dog, and they catered with no questions. GM came over to meet the pooch. Maria was super attentive and our fresh, oven-baked pizzas were out in 7 minutes. A brilliant overall experience for a saturday lunch! Will be back.”

“Almost every time I’ve been there, I have been given something for free. The other day I bought two bao buns and they gave me an extra two for free, this has happened more than once. Today I received a free packet of Ramen. There are so many more examples of this that I can’t put it into this review 20/10 recommend this place. Has a massive variety and at a reasonable price. Awesome staff and good service!”

“The food was brilliant with lots of vegetarian choices! The waiters Joseph, Othniel and a Turkish girl, provided excellent advice, marvellous service and good conversation. Bravo. Made the whole experience very special.”

“Quick, convenient, and well stocked, especially within a petrol station! Quality hasn't been compromised whatsoever, just your, above average, Waitrose you are already used to, but just a mini-me!”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“Wow, the most delicious feta mini quiche ever! What a find! So much to choose from beautifully presented sweet and savory produce too. Lovely smiling staff. A wonderful surprise find for morning coffee with "pastries". Good value for money and quick service. We ate in, relaxing at the window bar seating, happily watching the rain! Highly recommended ( take away available too). JM”

“Best fish and chips around, great quality, friendly staff”

“Perfect for a traditional fish and chips experience. Great portion size and lovely owners too! I love the crispy shrimps as well.. Will definitely be back ❤️”

“Upon my first visit a few weeks ago I can honestly say the food was 10/10. I was met with a very warm welcome from the staff who were also very friendly. Very tasty food and good sized portions. Would highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Excellent food with a balance of spice and the fresh taste of the meat, especially spring lamb. Kingfisher and nice people there.”

“Called in for a morning coffee and pastry. Such a warm wonderful welcome. The aroma in the place was amazing. As was the coffee and pastry”

“I’ve been living in London for quite a while, and today I had one of the best experiences of my life. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and friendly, and I had the best cappuccino I’ve ever tasted. Thank you for such a lovely experience — I’ll definitely be coming back! ☕✨”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“The Almond Croissant was really good but wasn't the biggest fan of the Biscoff Latte and it didn't have a very Biscoff flavour.”

“Both the pizza and cookies are amazing! Way better than the others - you probably want the cookies when they are hot & gooey so maybe eat them first? Or only order cookies then you don't have to make a choice!”

“My daughter and I come here a lot. We enjoy the upstairs area. They always have vegan whipped topping, too. A lot of Nero's don't have it made! The staff are very friendly and accommodating.”

“Love going to this Costa because of my lovely and friendly barista Sanjana who makes the best coffees and hot chocolates. Very cosy place:)”

“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 !”

“Best nero. Lovely and extremely fast staff. Best coffee batistas”

“I come in everyday and Omar and Sheyla have always been so nice and helpful. Best coffee shop in Kingston by a mile thanks to those two!”

“The best Chinese takeaway in the area. We only ever order from them. The Monks Vegetables is a great option for Veggies!”

“I popped in today to book a party for my daughter. Incredibly friendly, a very nice atmosphere and a much needed facelift for the place. The fridges are full, looks very welcoming and more like a cafe with pottery. We are very excited to be going tomorrow, will update the review after that”

“I been going there for years and the food never lets me down best pizza in area for sure”

“Wow wow wow!!! I used to come here 20 years ago and I am so happy to see that they are still in business. Has anyone lasted this long in Kingston? The wraps are still divine! Highly recommend the chicken garlic wrap ❤ Wonderful staff, go and you will not be disappointed”

“Outstanding catering service which I used for birthday event. Nafí and team were very helpful from the start, helping with menu sampling, organising menu adaptations for vegan, food allergies etc, professional and friendly service on the day. The food was exceptional! Pretty much all guests commented on how delicious the food was. Also reasonably priced compared to other services I had looked at. Strongly recommend!”
