Also, the place has seating inside and the vegetables & meat they use look really fresh. You should definitely give this place a try next time you are around.”

“One of my office colleagues invited me to lunch and I was really impressed by the food quality and taste of Tortilla Burritos at Boxpark Croydon. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is good and you get an amazing atmosphere at Boxpark. Overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this place.”

“The place is welcoming,tidy and clean,also the staff are motivated.”

“My secret to a perfect day: double egg, bacon,onion and mushroom sandwich with a drizzle of brown sauce...The two brothers are proud in what they do - hard to find these days... and ask for runny eggs. My mouth is watering while typing although I just had a toasted BLT(on the diet - new years resolution. Still asked to throw a runny egg in it.)”

“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!”

“We just came from here tonight and I have to say we were all utterly impressed! It was banquet night so you get, starter, side,main, bread or rice for £14.95 - Each dish was fresh, tasty, great portions, I recommendly highly,the staff are super friendly, service was great....go and try this place you wont be dissapointed!!!!”

“Had my breakfast in there today and the place was clean and friendly. Prices were really good also”

“Tried a couple other Indian restaurants in the area and this one is by far the best! The food was incredible, staff are so friendly and the interior / atmosphere is really nice. This is going to be our go-to from now on!”

“Went here last Thursday as heard they did a good quiz night. Had a burger and a couple of pints of Guinness zero; burger was top notch, proper gourmet stuff and we really enjoyed the quiz, we somehow won! Only downside was that it was a bit quiet, probably helped us win the quiz though. Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.”

“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.”

“The meal was perfect and delicious! Enjoying the food whilst feeling amazing with the lovely and friendly staff! Keep it up, and wish to see you soon again!”

“No longer Aqua. Noto Italian restaurant and café. My mixed grill was very good and I was full. Wife had seabass and said it was tasty. They are going to have jazz and r n b lunchtimes in the near future so give it a try and a follow.”

“Had the vegetarian pho, it was fresh and flavoursome, big portion, served quickly and hot with friendly riendly polite service. With so many chain restaurants around these days this place is a really good independent alternative, highly recommend you try this place next time you fancy noodles or rice in Croydon!”

“Had not been to this cafe for a while, due to being away. Hasn't lost its touch. Went in a few times this week. Had my usual toast, poached egg and salad. Another time I had spaghetti and another time I had omelette. Lovely food, Nice people, nice atmosphere and good pricing. Thanks selsdon cafe. See you soon.”

“Taste of India is the perfect spot to fill our hearts if we are away from home and missing our food. The quality of their dishes and service is highly excellent, and they provide unique dishes that are hard to find elsewhere. Also interesting is their setting and interior decor , which reflects Indian culture.”

“Great furniture store and cafe. We had to return some furniture as we ordered the wrong item our mistake. The return process was easy you just enter a code then go to a till 40 seconds and it was all done. We then headed upstairs to try the cafe, it was breakfast time so that's what we had I tried the £2.99 vegetarian breakfast it was delicious the coffee tasted good also. For the price and quality it without a doubt its a great breakfast stop. Someone on the reviews said on their visit the cafe was dirty, on my visit I found the cafe area spotless and fresh throughout. My appreciation to the cleaning staff thanks. After that we headed through the store again I really enjoyed it I found no faults whatsoever. Disabled access is brilliant throughout. My only concern was all the staff we encountered were very unhappy and non engaging without any exceptions such a shame, perhaps its not a good place to work maybe.”

“Had a really lovely experience at Wagamama over the weekend. I was having a rare child-free day and was on FaceTime with my mother who lives abroad, and my server, Fatima, was just wonderful. She helped me choose the pork belly ramen - something I’d never tried before - and it was absolutely the right choice: comforting, flavourful, and perfect for the cold weather. Fatima was genuinely warm and personable, and even took a moment to be sweet and engaging with my mom on FaceTime. It was such a small gesture, but it made the whole experience feel really human and memorable. Service like that is exactly why I keep coming back to Wagamama. Fatima is a real credit to the team, and her warmth made the whole visit feel extra special.”

“Today I had unusual Turkish food. This guy has been here since 2001 and met the owner. Very nice some people should make a visit to this Mazi Restaurant in west Croydon.”

“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.”
