Top 30 Best Authentic dining experience in South Croydon

“What's not to love about Little Bay? Book for the back of the restaurant with the eccentric design and live opera on a Friday (it's better than it sounds, trust me! They literally sing the songs then explain the performance for those who aren't familiar so you understand). The food is great and such amazingly reasonable prices. Am addicted to the mussels and the chicken but they've never quite nailed my steak preference (but that could be more me than them). Highly recommend. Book NOW!”

“Tasty food with good prices. Pretty decor and cosy feel. Friendly waitress so can't ask for more. Wish they did a few more choices of sushi rolls”

“Navratna hosted a surprise 40th birthday party for a close family member. They were very generous in accommodating us on a Monday (when they are usually closed). We were given the entire restaurant and facilitated early entry allowing us to decorate and re-arrange the seating. Food was lovely as always and well presented despite the larger number of guests. The chef and staff were very attentive and polite throughout and served with humility. Navratna provided a memorable evening and we are very thankful for their hospitality. Highly recommended.”

“Really good tasty food, great menu, nice friendly staff. Love the masala dosa.”

“Not sure about the older reviews - I see mixed opinions; my experience with it - we just ordered from Rajeev after he moved to the Jolly Farmers pub. Food was very nice, arrived quick with no delivery fee and they’ve got a lot of mains in the menu that I never tried / you typically don’t find in most Indian restaurants. We’ll order again surely and looking forward for the summer to eat in at the pub garden.”

The lamb Nihari, biryani and Payee are the best I’ve ever tasted! I always book in family orders and events through Zaika, never had any complaints only praise. Thank you as always!”

“Absolutely phenomenal pizza! Ordered as my friend is gluten intolerant - we weren’t disappointed. As you can see from my photos, there was no shortage of toppings! The website is way to navigate and it’s very clear how to make substitutions for any toppings if you have allergies, etc - my friend was very impressed. I would highly recommend and will certainly be ordering from Capones again!”

“Great and warm welcome from Kat (Barrister) as soon as I walked in, very friendly, warm and energetic. She made my drink to absolute perfection. I love this space and find it a calm place to study. So glad I have somewhere I can go too just round the corner with amazing coffee.”

“Wow how amazing has this place been. I came here regularly a few years back and thankfully it's sustained its great food and hospitality. I had the risotto and it was absolutely lush! I'll definitely go again. Lovely Italian settings and great indoor vibes too.”
