Takeaway experience in Purley

“Delicious food from the starters to the mains and desserts. Great place for a catch up with friends nice ambience. Would highly recommend the giant prawns.”

“Been here before to pick up just avocado maki; this time I was in a rush so explained this to the shop owner who was professional and polite, said he could make me up a sushi box in the 10 mins I had if I chose quickly. After changing my choice a couple of times he was patient enough to go with it and I settled on the Omega Box (8 Salmon & Avocado Rolls, 6 Salmon Maki, 6 Avocado Maki) which came with soya sauce, wasabi paste (firmer and drier than usual sushi box wasabi, possibly better quality?) - with a 10% takeaway discount it came to £11.69. Sushi rice was room-temperature (as best enjoyed), well-seasoned and good texture, fresh-tasting fish and avocado, with a good amount of filling in the salmon & avocado rolls; really enjoyed and plan to return!”

“Food is delicious, especially the chicken and black bean sauce and Hong Kong style chicken. Really sweet lady who works in the store. Delivery is super fast. Originally we use to go to phoenix, but their food quality dropped, so we tried new star and have been happy ever since.”

“Came home after 5 pints and absolutely smashed 5 chicken balls, half a Singapore vermicelli and half a mixed veg in oyster sauce, will undoubtedly smash the rest tomorrow lunch time. Absolutely banging”

“great fresh pizza with great variety of toppings and styles. Service is fast too. Will def recommend”

“Today we ordered two pizzas and 12 piece bucket food was so delicious. both staff member are very friendly or always smile and joking. They gave us good atmosphere.”

“Caroline was such a lovely host! Happy to accommodate my strange questions & requests as a vegan. Me and my mate were really happy to be served by her and you can tell she takes pride in her job.”

“Food was fresh and especially the tandoori chicken.”

“Actually so confused about the bad reviews. I ordered before looking at them - saw the bad reviews as food was en route and had a bit of a panic. The food was hot upon arrival, flavoursome and didnt inflict any sort of food poisoning- and I have a VERY weak stomach when it comes to food related illnesses. Again, flabbergasted at the bad reviews- 10/10 would order again!”

“Fantastic food and super tasty , ordered for the office and they enjoyed it so much ! As the order was over £500 we received free drinks and starters , such a great Christmas treat to my staff ! Thanks”

“Food is, of course, a matter of taste and we had absolutely no complaints with the collection of dishes we bought from here. It was cooked quickly and we had absolutely no concerns about the quality of either the ingredients or the way they were cooked.”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Purley Dragon! I honestly don’t understand all the bad reviews — they couldn’t be further from the truth. Every time I’ve been to Purley Dragon, the food has been incredible — always hot, fresh, and full of flavour. The portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They’re polite, welcoming, and always happy to accommodate special requests or dietary needs. You can tell they really care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. The restaurant is always clean, cosy, and has such a warm atmosphere — it’s perfect for a takeaway night or a casual meal out. I’ve tried a lot of Chinese places around the area, and none come close to the taste or service here. If you’re hesitating because of the negative reviews, don’t. Give Purley Dragon a try — you’ll see for yourself how wrong those comments are. Once you do, you’ll never go anywhere else for Chinese again!”

“Tried the vegetarian green and beets and loved it. The sushi guy at the counter was as cute as Keanu Reeves!!!”

“Simply Stunning!! Valentines afternoon tea for all the family, we visited as a family age range 3y-68y and there was something for everyone. The food was fresh and extremely tasty, the venue itself was beautiful so special and has perfect photo opportunities and the service was outstanding it felt very personal with lots of extra special touches. I can 100% recommend and will be back to visit again. Jade”

“Excellent Kebab, well worth the visit and offers a different type of Kebab that most people travel to East London for. Highly recommend...”

“Great service and food. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by Leanne, gave me a choice of tables and made me feel welcome. Then Irving my waiter introduced himself , he was friendly , polite and seemed to enjoy his job, went out of his way to make us feel special. The food was excellent, a really lovely evening with a good atmosphere. Must mention Lili who took our payment at the end , they were all really friendly, efficient I will definitely return.”

“Top pub in Purley, friendly and busy on a Saturday night - Curry was spot on and the live ska band (perfectly timed as we finished meal) were phenomenal.. Great night had by all. Waitress was also on the ball and came up to us every time drinks got low... 10/10”

“Amazing restaurant, food and the vibes! will definitely be coming back here again! Shoutout to Jose and Vlad for making our experience here very special - well done boys!”

“I love the staff. Most of them are my friends now because they are so friendly and kind. Always a smile and patience beyond measure. I've seen it tested. One guy is annoying to both customers and staff but we all just ignore him mostly. The chicken however is flipping delicious. It's so flavourful. I highly doubt anyone would be disappointed if they try it for themselves. Better than chicken cottage on London rd. Better than KFC by far. Better than that one chicken shop of church street (I'm so sorry to say but it's true). Obviously I like chicken, hot wings in particular so I know what's up. This place is dope.”

“Best in the area by a distance. Freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Plenty of flavour and nice staff as well. I made the mistake of trying another Chinese in the area while these guys were closed and won't be ordering from anywhere else in purley other than these guys again.”

“This place is brilliant Zahid khan is the best worker! Absolutely amazing”

“Amazing food every time. A delicious and unique dining experience.”

“Very fast order and delivery in only 30 min. The food was plenty and tasted excellent. Too bad I don't live in Purley. Otherwise, this would be a regular occurrence!”

“Excellent customer service from Munna! Store manager, Love this place. Staff are welcoming & the store is clean. Definitely come back!”

“I had a great experience at Pizza Hut. Alfie and the staff were really welcoming and helpful especially with ordering of the violife pizza which was quite confusing for both sides. Great pizzas as well as the salad bar.”

“I promise I’m not milking this restaurant. I have lived near this place for the past 10 years and every time I come here the staff are always so kind and welcoming. It’s like I stepped into a haven of pizza. They food make my mouth water and fill me up in all the good spots. I have spent nearly £2,000 at this place and no I’m not fat either. This has to be my favourite restaurant of all time. Their Meaty Feast pizza is so delicious. I recommend this place to everyone, even the dead because they would want to come back to life for this food. Genuinely 11/10”
