Unique restaurant experience in Orpington

“Thoroughly recommended. Not large, so worth booking ahead if visiting at a busy time. Wonderfully friendly and caring service and a great brunch menu. My vegetarian wife found the choice a little limited, particularly as avocado had run out We look forward to another visit”

“Recently discovered this place and all I can say is the food is amazing. The flavours of the food is 100% indian as the name. Do visit the place guys highly recommended from my side.”

“It was my birthday meal and everything was perfect. The pork belly bites are like candy that is sticky and melts in your mouth at the same time. My friend has mushrooms on toast to start and they were yummy with the combo of shrooms and that sauce. We then both had burgers - she beef and me chicken and they were excellent. They were very accommodating she didn’t want the bacon on hers but I did. The fries were so good and stayed hot for a long time. I also had an Islay old-fashioned - heavenly. We didn’t have room for dessert but they brought us out a couple of brownie bites and the were divine. I would definitely eat here again.”

“Had a very good dinner with my friends and our daughters. The food portions are very generous and the local Turkish red wine was great. The service was lovely too. Will definitely be visiting again”

“Love this cafe, second times this rounds. Found a rice dish too. Love the environment, great services from staff always smile and polite. Definitely favourite cafe on this area”

“Lovely place run by the college and the students great food and amazing service and all very affordable, would recommend to everyone”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Orpington. We ordered Tofu, and it was delicious, literally melting. The Pork and Chicken was really nice, it was recommended by the staff. The staff is really friendly. A reasonably priced restaurant must visit.”

“I booked an afternoon tea in a pod for myself, my mum and my aunt today. I have to say that Fiona was absolutely AWESOME!! She attended to our every request with a smile and some great chatter. Fiona is a true asset to the Mulberry Tree at Ruxley! GIVE HER A RAISE!!! The food was outstanding too. A really lovely afternoon tea with the best scone I have ever had in my life. So thank you to Fiona for making our afternoon so special. And thanks to the kitchen for the beautiful food. I booked this afternoon tea as an early Mother’s Day treat and I am so glad we went. It was perfect and I highly recommend!”

“We had the most amazing experience with the Greek Way. Katerina and her team were so friendly and accommodating to our needs. They travelled roughly 60 miles to us and the food still came hot and fresh. Everyone absolutely loved it at our work event. The tzatziki was beyond mouth-watering we would have all eaten a tub each! The meats were super tender and we had great options for our vegetarian's and vegans. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Greek caterer - we wouldn't look to go anywhere else. Thank you so much again!”

“Hands down one of the best jerk chicken we have tried. Even my daughter couldn't stop eating the food. The chicken falls off the bone”

“Great tasting freshly cooked chicken the peri peri is better than Nando’s! always hot and tasty and friendly service. Best chicken shop in the areas”

“I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The place was nearly empty due to covid19. As per the restaurant manager there's more footfall during Mondays to Wednesdays because of 50% off from the benefits of eat out government policy . The food served was fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. Since there was no one else in the restaurant, social distancing was easily carried out.”

“There is not a single thing that I can fault with this restaurant! Eat in or take away the food is amazing ! The staff are so friendly with a real family vibe, and having lived in the area all my life I would say this restaurant has never lost its quality and a real asset to our community ! If ever anyone was passing through Orpington I would recommend making a stop here - will not be disappointed !”

“What an absolutely incredible experience I had finding this random gem in Orpington when out with my mum on May 3rd bank holiday. This was before restrictions were lifted so we were seated outside but given blankets to wrap up in, and had the most amazing service from our waitress Karina! She was so attentive and just a star!! It was soooo windy but that didn’t dampen our experience whatsoever. We each had a managal combo plate (spicy chicken and lamb chops which were humongous) with bulgur wheat, spicy rice, and 2 types of salad. The home made bread was lush. Cooked to perfection and even given mint tea and baklava on the house after! Couldn’t recommend this place more and thank you Ozzy for stopping to chat with us after! And Karina for being such a genuine sweetheart when catering to us. Can’t wait to come back for my mums birthday, delicious food, fantastic prices, and fabulous staff!”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“In all they years that my Lucky the Poodle had been to any groomers no one apart from Freya managed to do as an amazing job each time. Great service and great value. Would highly recommend!”

“Delicious Indian food with really pleasant and friendly staff. Portions are good and the food is well presented. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be returning :)”

“Really lovely staff, cod is super fresh and crispy. So are the chips! The owner remembers my order which gives it a nice personal feel, anyone in the Orpington area needs to go to Twins! Added bonus they’re now open on Sundays!”

“A really lovely local pub.We received a warm welcome from the Land Lady (on my very first visit today) and from the regulars who constantly fed my Golden Retriever with treats. Next time, I won't bother to feed him beforehand!! I will certainly be returning, especially as it's in walking distance.”

“Went to Cypriani’s for the set menu and satin dolls night. The singing was brilliant, and the food matched. Tony did a great job looking after us and Nick made us feel very welcomed. 5/5”

“What a lovely cosy place , perfect for families. Visited them with my family for a dinner. Staff was courteous and they don’t push meals on you. You can relax and enjoy your food in luxury of your time. We loved all what we order right from drinks , tapas , mains and sundaes . Fired chicken with Bombay spices was extraordinary and I loved the bang bang chicken with noodles the most. Will revisit soon. Thanks”

“Great food, the young lad working the till was so polite and happy is great to see and made us feel very welcomed, did not mind waiting the 5 minutes while they finished packing the order. Very well spoken and the duck was great.”

“first time using chopsticks. really good could not fault. will use again.”

“Went for Christmas Day Lunch, with my wife and a friend. Food was hot, well cooked and well presented with decent quantities - no skimping! No issues whatsoever; apart from the fact that we may need to book months earlier next year! We are irregular customers, and have never had a reason to complain about anything over the years we have been using The Black Horse.”
