Authentic in Surbiton

“As always, superb food... superb quality! Never ever mediocre.. always spot on! After 30 years, always our favourite!”

“Great take away, we live around the corner and always go here”

“First time ordering from this restaurant and have to say how good the food was. Really tasty with just the right balance of spices and heat. Will definitely be trying more of the menu in the future.”

“Absolutely adore Kokoro ever since I moved to Kingston a few years ago. They’ve recently opened up shop in Surbiton and I’m so glad they have as I live locally and simply cannot fault these guys. The food is fresh, absolutely delicious and the portion size is always generous. They are consistently great with both hot dishes & cold foods (sushi / salads) and 100% worth every penny. It’s a great lunch time spot with plenty of different options to choose from as well as being pretty affordable for a “meal out”. I recently ordered a sushi party platter* for my household for my birthday and it was out of this world! Will continue to eat at Kokoro Surbiton and would encourage anyone who passes by or lives in the area to try their food ASAP! * I specifically requested for salmon sashimi but their original platter includes both Salmon & Tuna!”

“Very delicious sweets and I love the new hot dog and also the samosa tastes very good 10/10 staff very kind”

“They have amazing pizza. I'm coming this place often. I recommend.”

“Food was absolutely amazing, not tight portions and well worth the money. The call handler was patient with my order and got it right and the delivery guy was also very friendly. Will definitely order from here again, thank you”

“Excellent coffee, friendly staff and atmosphere. Would high recommend El Cafetal”

“Welcoming hot tea with beautiful flower was absolutely pleasure to start dining. All plates were displayed gorgeous and the taste is even better. I am a serious sashimi & sushi fan and haven’t had much places like Sushi Hero in London where providing this high quality of tuna sashimi as you can tell by freshness. It just melt in your mouth. Other hot dishes were omg level of its taste!!!! Staff were so warm & friendly thank you and I am definitely visiting again soon!”

“We came here on a Thursday evening for an anniversary dinner and it was an excellent experience. Service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the normal tasting menu and the Vegetarian / Pescatarian tasting menu with matched wines and throughout the food was on a very high level. I spent 1.5 years in Paris and have to say that the French Table is on the same level with the best French restaurants I dined at. Definitely worth the high price tag. Will come again!”

“Our favorite local Italian. Gianni is a great gentleman - he always greet locals/regulars with a big smile and nice gestures. We’ve loved this place from our fist visit in 2018 and continue to do so. Needless to say their Neapolitan pizzas and pastas are exquisite! It’s casual and family friendly too. Go, relax and enjoy company with beautifully cooked dishes by skilled Italian chefs.”

“A great find. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Whilst I have eaten in Persian restaurants before this seemed to a cut above. We ate in and it was pretty quiet but then it was 2.30pm on a Monday in January. Even then the food was fresh, moist and delicious. We shared a starter of Aubergine and walnut with amazing bread (Kashnk Bademjan) for mains we had slow cooked lamb neck with excellent rice. (Baghali Polo) Tender and tasty together with a first for us, Dizi a traditional lamp chick pea and veg stew in an earthenware pot (Which we got to take home) that you crush then roll in bread with fresh herbs and pickles - eating the liquid as a soup. Divine. I can't say if it is authentic but I get the feeling it is. I can say it is definitely great food and generous portions. Highly recommended”

“Amazing. Was blown away by the quality of the food - not just how it tastes but the quality of presentation. I've got a photo but it doesn't really do it justice. It's very understated too - the café looks very normal from the outside but the food really is top-tier. Staff are lovely too.”

“Friendly and knowledgeable team..did my hair beautifully”

“Tasty homemade meals. Lovely owner, very helpful and polite. Tasty menu, tabulleh salad, baba ganouj delicious. Tasty chicken shawarma and falafel plate. Really tasty meal, reasonable price £50 for 4 people including drinks. Place worth to visit.”

“Actually the best coffee I've had in a while, but it's definitely the nicest coffee you can get in Surbiton and Kingston. Very small and cosy, friendly staff. 5 stars well deserved”

“Lovely little Italian restaurant in Surbiton. Despite arriving early to try and get a table, the place has a really good vibe and not to mention good food. (Place was fully booked but accepted walk in entries if there was last minute availability) Menu consists of starters, pizza choices, pasta dishes, specials and desserts. There are gluten free pasta and pizza base available, these are not made on the premises and is made by a separate company. There is a small additional charge for this. Pizza is made fresh in their impressively large pizza oven located in the restaurant. We were sat at the bar area around this pizza oven and it was lovely to see the pizza masters doing their thing with stretching the pizza dough. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks too. The place was clean and staff friendly and helpful. Will return.”

“Spent a lovely evening at Il Mulino celebrating a 21st Birthday. Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and very good food.”

“I'm telling you! I LOVE this place. The dishes tastes are heavenly and the atmosphere & staff are fantastic. I love to come back again for the evening socially with my friends/ family.”

“I rarely post reviews about any restaurant but this restaurant definitely needs some appreciation. I can say that it’s the best one we have seen in recent times. Authentic and delicious food. Staff were well mannered and service is quick & good. Taste of Dosa is just like you get in India. Highly recommend if you are around this area. We will visit again soon. Keep up the good service guys.”

“Went once for their afternoon tea and another time for brunch. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the staff are warm and friendly even with how busy it is. If you’re going for brunch I would recommend getting there before 11 to beat the rush as it does get very crowded in there on the weekends.”

“Just wanted to do a shout out to thank you for your excellent service and amazing products. The braai packs are such great value and your biltong and dröe wors are like a little kiss from home. Keep up the good work, you guys rock!”

“A delightful, friendly team, always freshly cooked, and great value. We feel lucky to have such a great local take away!”

“Amazing place to taste exceptionally delicious food. Staff here is so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to others. Can’t wait to get back there.”

“Very good food and service! Congratulations to the chef!”

“Delicious beyond belief. My favourite Chinese restaurante in London. This is exactly what Chinese food tastes like in China. Most of the time I think Chinese restaurants in Europe generally adapt flavours too much to match our taste, maybe a wrong impression. Not in this case though. The people were friendly and really nice.”

“Great food and service. It's also cheap for London standards. I suppose Indian food in London is most reliable of all foods. The portions were big and was done very well. Waiters are very helpful and attentive too. Highly recommend!”
