The 10 Best Romantic dinner spots in Sutton

“Happy to make changes like putting some meat separate and some in a pitta which is really useful, when they are flexible about how the food is given to you and they aren't precious about a set menu. Only thing I'd point out to them is to make sure to use a set of tongs to turn the raw chicken skewers over, and once this is cooked on the outside, move to a different part of the grill and finish it off, by using another pair of tongs. You'd avoid any chance of cross contamination this way. Same goes for the pittas and wraps being warmed up - use another clean pair of tongs to avoid customers having second thoughts about their stomachs getting through the night ok..”

“Nice bar friendly staff and regulars. Beer a little pricey but well kept. Did not eat so can't rate food.”

“I celebrated my friend, Jennifer’s birthday here today. It was her third visit, and Ejder immediately recognised her — such a lovely personal touch! He even made her a black paper rose, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. The birthday arrangement was wonderful, with a sparkler on the cake and the staff singing happy birthday. Ejder truly made our day special — thank you for such a memorable and enjoyable experience! I highly recommend celebrating your birthday here — the atmosphere is really good and perfect for special occasions.”

“I had a collection on Sunday. They were super busy but so friendly, polite and gracious. It was great to see my food cooked fresh and it was absolutely delicious. I’m so glad I found this place. I had Chicken Yakisoba with a medium spice level. Perfect!”

“I just got back from ordering from this place. And I have to say the staff was friendly and helpful. Even though it took a little longer than expected, they still treated me with care and respect. I didn’t mind the long wait since the pizza here is definitely worth it. If you want big pizza for affordable prices, this is your best choice. They even gave me a free drink for my patience.”

“Authentic, fulfilling Greek food, felt like I was abroad! Cosy & simple interior, no frills. Really friendly and attentive service, we got our food within 10/15 mins, really hearty portions! Try the Moussaka if you come on a weekend.”

“[SHORT VERSION] One of the best Japanese food we’ve had in London. Prices were MORE than reasonable and the portions are big. You should eat here. [LONG VERSION] The Food: We first had the Yuzu Yellowtail Tiradito. The first mouthful me and my partner had, we looked at each other and said, this sort of flavours could be easily served in fine dining restaurants. Very complex sweet, sour, and a small beautiful hint of spiciness to it and then the yellowtail tasted so fresh. Not one bit of slimy/fishy smell or flavour to it. We then had the mixed tempura. There was no usual dipping sauce and we thought it was a bit sad, but when we had our first bite, it was so crunchy and tasty that too much sauce would ruin it. You could really taste the freshness of the prawn. My partner and I think that proper japanese chefs pay attention to detail, so we check how they prepare their food, and they delivered. The tails of the prawns were completely clean with no black marks at all and the vegetables were so fresh too. We also had the pork katsu curry, which had the entire bowl covered with the pork cutlet and a really powerful japanese curry sauce(very flavourful)[no photo as someone took a better one that does justice to it]. The Chef and the Place: To be honest, I found out about this restaurant passing by it early morning(it was closed) on our to the bus stop, and I checked the reviews(high). I thought we would drop by later that night. They said that they don’t do reservations as it is really a small place(mainly takeaways), with bar like setting(stools lined up along the window and along where the chef prepares sushi) and 1 small table on the side. We went in later for dinner and were surprised that there wasn’t a single Japanese staff in the place, I even looked outside to check if we were in the right place. So we’re like, ok let’s just order, we’re here already and as soon as we tasted the food, we loved it. We talked to this Sri Lankan chef and asked how the hell his food tasted this good and we all had a good laugh. He’s been in the Japanese Fine dining field for 25 years and he wanted to start his own little restaurant serving cheap but high quality food. We spent 2 hours talking about Japanese food, and how they store, prepare, and present their food. They even showed us that they use only the highest quality ingredients all the way down to the salt they use for the sushi. These guys are lovely human beings and they are also highly skilled in what they do and they need the recognition. Thank you for the lovely meal. It was a pleasure meeting you guys. P.S. Thanks for the special off-menu aburi salmon!”

“This place is an absolute hidden gem in Sutton. The food is fantastic. It is so so amazingly tasty. The portions were large. We ate in and also did take away, with the standard of food being the same whether eat in or takeaway. The lady serving us was efficient and kind. Lots of Chinese people eat and take away here.. we are now regulars here…. And are slowly tasting everything on the menu… with the Singapore laksa being our favourite.”

“Super place and friendly staff, the sunday roast was amazing! May need to book a table as it does get quite busy! If your worried about sitting by the bar area don't be there was enough space !”

“I’ve visited many Pizza Express branches over the years, but the Cheam location always has great customer service and great food. The customer service here is consistently friendly and efficient. The team at Cheam never disappoints. Highly recommend!”

“We ordered a delivery on Friday 24th Nov 2023 and was pleasantly surprised with our order. The quality, quantity, taste and flavours were traditional and authentic. This was our first time tasting May May and we will definitely be back. Please don't compromise on your high standards to ensure customers return for more. Thank you.”

“Searched from Google map then first time try the Chinese restaurant in London, turn out we are so lucky. The food is authentic with great taste, the service team is nice and warm welcoming, the overall environment is bright, clean and cozy. We arrived around 7pm on Friday and the large dinning area were packed so we were invited to eat in the inner separated room, so happy! I will definitely recommend you to have a try the food here!”

“Very lovely friendly staff, always cater to our needs- love coming here for family celebrations. Service by tan & caris .”
