Relaxed spot in Croydon

“In the heart of Croydon, a Sri Lankan restaurant, from the outside it did not suggest anything good, in reality, a really charming, clean and well-kept restaurant. short waiting times. GREAT FOOD really tasty. reasonable prices. Really courteous staff also very friendly manger. bathrooms clean and well maintained. if you are in the area I recommend it. great! Also plates are really nice with sun and moon.”

“Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“I've found this spot some time ago, frankly it needs a mention. Easily one of the most under rated venues in Croydon. The staff are down to earth, helpful and add a vibrant splash of colour to the place, those they come into contact with love them. Thanks in particular to Amanda and Zoe for their service, made my visit extra special. Will update with further visit and share for one and all. People give them a try!! ❤️”

“Great staff, very friendly and always do an amazing job. Have been coming here for years! Always happy to try new designs whenever requested.”

“I've had various wraps, the biryani and other dishes from the restaurant on many occasions and it's definitely the best place to get Indian take-away. I think my favourite is the lamb curry but everything is really nice! I don't often publish reviews about food but this is very good. I would highly recommend!”

“Brilliant. Xmas special 27.50 fr 2 games and food. Unbeatable value”

“I have to say a huge thank you to the reception team for helping make my move here easy and stress free. I've been here a few months now and I have no complaints whatsoever. My apartment is beautiful, the views are stunning, and the building has all the facilities I need. Thank you to the wonderful Krina, Michelle, and Arnold for all your that you do. Having a friendly, welcoming and supportive team at reception make a huge difference. I hope your efforts and support don't go unnoticed”

“Nice cafe. Croissant and Coffee were great”

“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!”

“It's very easy to tell that Sarah is a 'cat person'. The setup is lovely and I was amazed as how easily my two cats settled in to the room for the 6 days they were to spend here. On return home they were so chilled out and it felt to us a good indication of the care they'd been given during their stay. My son absolutely loved the postcard that arrived the next day from the cats saying what a great time they were having too! Everything felt like the cats are the priority over all else, with an appreciation that it can be stressful leaving your animals with someone else when you go away. We will absolutely be using Dulverton again, thank you Sarah.”

“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.”

“Never fails in any aspect!!!! 100% recommend it’s not only halal but as well ask fresh everytime!! And very clean surroundings, love this place a lot always enjoy their food even nicer coming back to smiling faces all times as the staff in there is really lovely too!”

“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.”

“Excellent little place. Great coffee, good value, really friendly service and a very good selection (incl. GF, DF, vegan etc) of delicious cakes, biscuits, juices, sandwiches etc. So glad such a lovely place is just around the corner. Will definitely be back.”

“Cosy, welcoming micro pub with large selection of beers & spirits. Friendly landlady. Would definitely visit again.”

“What a place. Small, friendly, cozy, with lovely food served by lovely people; incredible value for money too!”

“Decent Spanish omelette, good price at only £7.50. Good cappuccino also.”

“Before my football match i popped down to this café , it is a real gem. Not only is the food halal and very well prepared, but the customer service truly stands out. The staff are polite, welcoming, and made the whole experience enjoyable. A great place to relax and enjoy — will definitely be coming back.”

“The only bar worth visiting in Croydon if you enjoy craft beer. Excellent range of beers both on tap and in the fridge. They usually have food available at weekends, and on weekdays you’re welcome to bring food in. Knowledgable staff.”

“Novi is the BEST espresso room / coffee shop in the ‘Nam without exception. It’s the warmth of the welcome as much as it is the delights within!”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“We ordered Uber eats today from this place for the first time, and we were really impressed with the food quality and the size of the proportions. Together with the 2 English breakfasts we ordered 2 bacon baguettes, and because they didn't have baguettes bread, they sent it over 2 bacon buns for each one of us, which was very thoughtful and kind of them. Thank you!”

“lovely staff and good amount of seating area. i had the cinnamon roll more than once it was very nice! not everyone can perfect the roll but it suited my preference for it well. there’s an upstairs with a lighter environment great for doing work and a downstairs area which is a bit moodier but a nice place to read books just depending on your preference.”

“I am new to the area and was looking for a good cafe; I have come twice now and the food and staff has been really good. The way they cook and serve the food is just right!!!”

“Listen, this Donny's chicken was so tasty that when I was eating it, I didn't want it to end. Big portions and cheap.”

“Food is always fresh and tasty. The ladies are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this cafe!!”

“I had a haircut here today and it went so well! The stylist(Digisha) did an amazing job and really understood what I wanted. She was also very polite and made the whole experience so comfortable. I’m super happy with the result — definitely recommend this place!”

“Samir cut my 5 year old's hair excellently. He had a bad experience previously at another barbers and so my boy was a bit nervous. Samir went above and beyond our expectations at putting my little boy at ease with lovely communication and so he was happy to have the full haircut inc clippers for the back and sides. Thank you very much Samir, we will definitely be back.”

“Opens early 6:30-7am, coffee is very good, big plate breakfast I recommend. Eat well here every morning”

“I had a deep tissue massage with Kseniya and can’t recommending it enough! Excellent service! Will definitely come back!”
