The 30 Best Romantic dates in Croydon

“Came from Australia to see family and an awesome pub with great beer and drinks to have a great experience. Staff were amazing and know how to make a good espresso martini. Definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Had a lovely morning, this morning visiting the cinema for the first time with my daughter. She loved watching the Bluey let's cook collection. Featuring amazing recliner chairs across all screens, sleek modern decor, plus amazing staff special thanks to Chloe always so lovely and helpful.”

“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.”

“Lovely place and warm welcome from staff. The food is great, the prices are reasonable and tastes really fresh. Also there have Vegan dish and more food options.”

“Food is beyond amazing,everything is fresh and tasty. Staff are also very friendly and great customer service too. I really recommend this.”

“Lovely place! Plenty of seating, the decor is very nice and cosey. The lady who owns it is just so lovely and welcoming and to top it off the food is delicious and reasonable priced and the special teas are so tasty. (Wishing tree is a nice touch too) Will definitely be going back”

“Great little bar serving beers and wines on the Elmers End Green, Enjoy a pint or two and a wine and nibbles while watching the world go by. Fleur and her staff are excellent hosts amicable and friendly. Great friendly atmosphere.”

“A small quirky place than can easily be missed when driving by. Was recommended this place by my sister and am glad I have been to this. The staff and chef were very accommodating and helpful.”

“Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.”

“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.”

“Superb local hostelry - great beers helpful staff. Always a great welcome”

“Highly recommend the wine tasting! Really lovely welcome from everyone, food was amazing. Really lovely authentic Italian. Can't wait to return.”

“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!”

“First time ordering from 08 Express and I'm very impressed! Delivery was on time and the food is delicious. Very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend and I will be ordering again without hesitation”

“The food served here is delicious. I’ve eaten here a few times now and I’ll definitely be coming back. The prices are good. It’s a clean restaurant, with a big car park so it’s easy to find parking. I highly recommend!”

“First time @Ayat and loved it. Good was great, flavour dishes prepared with care. Interior looks great has it's own unique flair although music was to loud. Service was a bit lacking. We where seated promptly and our food came out in timely manner but the waitress didn't check on us at all (she was on her phone all the time we where there as we could see from our spot). We need to get up and ask her for another round of drinks as she wasn't paying any attention to us at all.And then she got our simple order for drinks wrong, we where the only costumers there so no distractions and it was quite early an a lazy Sunday. Hope that the service does improve as the food was delicious. Will come back to give it another chance for sure.”

“A great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors—sitting in the garden here is always a treat. It’s a very friendly and welcoming spot, made even better by the amazing bartender, Ian. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, even learning a few words from my native language, which truly meant a lot. I'm always greeted with the biggest smile, and it’s clear the place wouldn’t be the same without him. A genuinely great guy who adds so much to the atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“Very good pizza with very best behaviour from staff very friendly you can customize as well must recommend in a budget price”

“Nice place, great service, tasty food & very reasonable prices. Perhaps a bit old fashioned but I don't mind that at all... next to a fab little old pub too, we need to keep these places open :-)”

“Probably the best takeaway pizza place I've known. I have used them for nearly 20 years, and not 1 bad delivery. Better priced than other places, and the food is great. I always tip the drivers.”

“Saturday was the first night for the Cinema at St John’s. It was an amazing experience in a beautiful building with a welcoming friendly team of helpers. You don’t expect to find a proper licensed bar, hot dogs and a variety of delicious sweets and snacks in such a place. The screen is huge and the sound is as good as any cinema that I have been to and they had subtitles. I will definitely be there next time on 19th October for Bohemian Rhapsody.”

“What an amazing DJ he played at my daughter’s 11th birthday. He was also the DJ at my daughter’s primary school this s where I found him. Over the years I have also attended events he has played at and they are always very lively and fun.”

“We came here for the buffet. There was a lot of choice, the food was incredible and we left very full. Best thing about this place is that the food is cooked fresh to order. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. I love supporting local businesses like this and prefer this style of buffet to places like Jimmy's or JRC, so we definitely will be back”

“It’s an awesome restaurant with delicious food I saw negative commenters please don’t believe them , they must be jealous lol They have yummy food , fresh and quick service, we r going regularly and happy”

“Have ordered from here a few times now, always really good food. Only slight compliant it that they often don't always stick to the predicted delivery time on just eat - once was really early (fine if you're in the house but if you were ordering on your way home or popped out it might not be) and the most recent time was late. Will keep ordering from here though as the food has been consistently great”

“Very good nice food. Good service”

“Various Dim sum choices with clean environment with reasonable price. After enjoy Chinese tea could shop at Big Big Chinese supermarket with different types of Asian food including seafood. Free car parking for limited hours”

“Best Sri Lankan place nice dosa. Friday lunch menu for set price is great.”

“A good quality freshly made doner and other grilled items. The only thing is the wait time is usually higher than other restaurants since they make most of foods fresh. Other than that, everything is good and quality is awesome. It is few of the HMC certified shops in Croydon. Overall good.”
