Unique dining in Kingston Upon Thames

“Exceptional quality and service! From the moment I walked into Richmond Kitchens, the whole experience was a pleasure. The end result is a beautiful kitchen that’s genuinely beyond what I expected. They use Leicht kitchens, which are absolutely stunning — top quality and fully bespoke to your space. There’s also a huge range of worktops and appliances to choose from, so it really feels tailored to you. Matt’s design was brilliant. He made the most of the space and adapted the plan seamlessly to fit with the building work, including new windows and doors. The installation was on time, done to perfection and any small follow-up bits were sorted quickly and efficiently. I spoke to a few other local suppliers before deciding but it was the quality and level of service that drew me to Richmond Kitchens and they completely delivered.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“A Lovely Spot by the Thames – Kingston Riverside Kingston Riverside is one of my favourite places to unwind in Southwest London. Right by the River Thames, it’s got that perfect balance of lively atmosphere and scenic charm. Whether you’re popping down for a casual stroll, grabbing a coffee, or enjoying a meal by the water, there’s always something quite special about the vibe here. The selection of restaurants and pubs along the riverside is solid — from cosy spots for a pint to more upscale dining. On a sunny day, the outdoor seating areas are buzzing, and the view of the river with the boats gently passing by is just brilliant. It’s also great for walks or bike rides, especially with the Thames Path running through. And with the town centre just a short walk away, it’s incredibly convenient. All in all, Kingston Riverside is a gem — perfect for a relaxed day out or just soaking up some riverside atmosphere.”

“We had a great mother's Day lunch here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly to our large group with young children. Food has a very homemade feel to it. The seafood tagliatelle was fantastic and so were the cocktails. Rissotto and steak dishes left much to be desired. Nonetheless - overall a good experience”

“I recently had a wonderful takeout experience from Chicken World. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection with a crispy coating and tender meat. The wings were equally delicious, with well-balanced flavors. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness. The owner’s personal touch and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Chicken World for their mouthwatering chicken meal that will keep you coming back for more!”

“Did the unlimited tapas, and paid the extra £5 for the full range of items. Our server was excellent, I cannot remember his name but he was very friendly! We were also in the time range for happy hour, so we got two 2-for-1 cocktails each alongside our meal. We then had about 4 rounds of food, which saved us about £100ish in total. My stand out dishes were the cheese breads with the garlic, the hot honey halloumi, the popcorn squid, the black bean quesadillas, and also the chicken wings were excellent!”

“Lovely pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and always ready to help, offering great recommendations for drinks. The food is delicious, with generous portions and plenty of flavour. There’s a wide variety of beers and other liquors to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. A great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable time!,”

“Wonderful food, the best seabass I have had in a while! Also would highly recommend the festive panettone bread and butter pudding”

“The food was brilliant with lots of vegetarian choices! The waiters Joseph, Othniel and a Turkish girl, provided excellent advice, marvellous service and good conversation. Bravo. Made the whole experience very special.”

“Great service and if you can get the items you want in the kids sizes and in the sale then you're winning!”

“Granth has been amazing!! Yesterday I went on dinner date and it was soo good. I love the atmosphere, food was absolutely amazing and delicious. N served by Granth who is an amazing person and great at his work. Full of recommendations!! Would love to come back again. Thanks for the great evening.”

“I rate 5 star for the service as all the staff are fantastic, 5 stars for the lovely cakes, but sadly, only a 1 star for the atmos/ambience because the new owners, I believe, decided to remove the beautiful piano that I used to adore playing there. Also it was linked to constant background piano notes, cleverly playing out of the piano while no one played it. That really was quite relaxing and unique whilst enjoying the food and cakes, and after my weekly office job , I would look forward to my visits there at the weekends to unwind and sometimes play.. A great hub and centrepiece has been ripped out of the heart of the cafe. It blended in very well and also was a fine backdrop against the old churchyard opposite through the tall windows. I just was preparing my Xmas carols repertoire and some more new lyrics when I visited there last Saturday, but my piano was gone!”

“Johnathan (hope I spelt it correctly) was incredibly helpful and attentive to me when looking for a futon. He was super patient and so knowledgeable . Serving me while making time for all other customers and kindly held something for me to come back for later . Very happy with our purchase . 10/10 service!”

“Very ‘authentic’ HK style dimsum - love it here! A little bit pricey, but hey it is Kingston after all! Lucky to have this spot as a local restaurant. They have changed owner / name of the restaurant recently- FYI. Fav dishes so far - the siu mai, har gau, pork buns, custard cream buns and the pork pastry. Decent beef hor fun.”

“Bestest shop i ever visited in the area”

“My new job meant we had to move to Kingston KT1, so we bought a small house with a view to extending, as we had a price from the kitchen extensions company in London agreed. Not only were we happy with their professionalism, the work they did makes us feel like we bought an even bigger house, which we love.”

“I am so glad Me and Mrs Andrew in during the 1st lockdown last year met Kim and Vix from Kingston Branch. They were waiting for their booked in customers but they managed look over our plans and in those 10 minutes gave us our perfect ensuite! From start to finish they were full of great ideas and guided us through the whole process. All I can say to those customers who didn’t show up – your loss was our gain!”

“We love The Gazebo. I struggle to understand why it is always quiet. Great view of the Thames. Cosy eating and a great bar area. Going to book a table for 12 today. I hope they are still open.”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“We are sushi lovers and always looking for a great sushi places. This place is very local for us, so we decided to give it a try. As we understood place opened recently, food quality is amazing, lots of ingredient and everything is super fresh! As started we took aubergine (on the photo), just delicious and then we went for rolls only, 4 in total and I cannot tell which one was better, all amazing. Guys, please don’t get worse with the time. Please keep the same food quality. Can’t recommend this place enough and looking forward to come back.. tomorrow ;)”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Wow!!! This is a fantastic and convenient spot to get sushi whenever you want it. This is because this sushi gourmet place has a large range of options and choice. The choices vary from the simplicity of a Nigiri to salads and big rolls. It has options of small and £10 boxes of nigiri and other sushi rolls and bigger portions of £20 that are more complicated rolls. It has deliveroo as takeaway and delivery service. However, it’s in Sainsbury’s in the centre right at the back of the store. This doesn’t mean that it has a bigger difference on this gourmet style and other Japanese restaurant. It only contains sushi and not brothers or other Japanese dishes as it’s only a Sushi Gourmet. When I go there I always get the nigiri rolls because they’re fresh and simple and also delicious. I’ve also been to other Japanese authentic restaurants and it’s different regarding the taste of the sushi because it’s not a chain but a single restaurant. However it’s not that big of a difference regarding freshness.”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“We have used Creed Miles several times now at our Surrey based office to include carpeting, new chairs, decorating and fire wall partitioning. On each occasion the Sales & project Manager, Nick Hunter and all of the Creed Miles Team have been helpful, supportive and quick to respond. Always good with alternative suggestions or ideas to counteract a challenge. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Nick or anyone from the Team. Great service all round.”

“Kevin and his son Adam are the best. Did an immaculate job with my kitchen 9 years ago and never had any problems. Recently had a faulty hinge and no questions asked they replaced it for free after 9 years! Best service ever. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough, still get lots of compliments for our kitchen especially the custom built floor to ceiling cabinets!!”

“This place is fantastic. Vietnamese food in general is one of my favourite cuisines, and this place encapsulates that at a very very decent and affordable price. If this place stayed open later I would probably find myself having this waaay to much, and I think it'd end up being a borderline addiction. With the market closing at 5, I often miss it, so I only get it once or twice every few weeks. Massively recommend this place, even above the Pho restaurant just around the corner which charges alot more!”

“One of the best boutique cafe in Hampton Wick (South West London). The Barista is very attentive to detail.Superb desserts, delicious homemade savory food, sandwiches, including vegan options. The homemade soups are great especially in cold days and is a great alternative. Stylish interior. Nice staff. The lady "Simona" is very friendly and she makes everyone feel welcome. When shopping in nearby Kingston Upon Thames, we always go to this cafe.If you are tired of the big branded coffee shops and you want to have a really good coffee, this is the place for you!”

“Lovely piece of Portugal in Kingston. Delicious food, coffee with great friendly service. Well stocked wine "library". I asked for a recommendation for a medium priced red wine to accompany a steak dinner. It wasn't too much trouble for the owner to recommend from the wide offerings, which was much appreciated.”
