Cozy dining experiences in Surbiton

“A true gem among Tolworth cafes. Great atmosphere, lovely food (you gotta try their fish&chips!) and astonishingly low prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is wheelchair accessible with a dedicated parking space for Blue Badge holders. Would recommend to anyone!”

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

“Visited on Sunday with my boyfriend, have to say it was absolutely amazing, I had a flat white with oat milk, the vegan earth bowl with plant chicken added, and we shared the coconut and pumpkin cake. All the food and the coffee were perfect, couldn't fault it, the portion sizes were really good too. Lovely interior in the restaurant as well and nice music playing, if slightly loudly. The only minor issue was that the menu said adding the plant based chicken to the salad I had was £4 but the receipt said £5 (didn't notice until I'd already paid).”

“Booked online giving details of our visit and our celebrations and preferred seating! Brilliant seat looking out to river! Then Gemma our waitress introduced herself and she was amazing! Attentive but not overbearing or hovering over us! Food stunning! Then our desserts arrived with chocolate written Happy Birthday for my husband and I had the Happy Anniversary one! (Yes .....we did get married on his birthday!) Atmosphere and music great and sat outside by the river relaxing for a while after with drinks just relaxing! It was the day of the train strike and Uber and taxis letting us down but Siobhan stopped what she was doing to get us a cab firm and that was successful! I last came here many many years ago on the same date to celebrate and did not enjoy the experience at all.....sitting near to kitchen which had a swing door and heard shouting and offensive language every time that door opened which completely ruined our day so you can imagine it took a lot to come back....but took a chance again as heard through the grapevine how nice it is! So glad we did and look forward very much to further visits!! Thankyou again!”

“The service was great and food was enjoyable. The guy who served us was excellent, making sure our family had a nice table in the more quiet corner in the back after a long day of travel.”

“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”

“Absolutely in love with this cozy place! Fantastic spot and great addition to the area, yummy selection of pastries, panini and deli. The best cappuccino so far. This will be my treat going further!”

“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.”

“Orindi provided the catering for my 50th birthday and the food was wonderful, all the guests really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and tasty, delicious flavours and a nice selection of buffet items both savoury and sweet. Thank you!”

“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.”

“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”

“A hidden gem. Cosy, friendly, spotlessly clean wonderful friendly staff. Coffee and food very good too.”

“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.”

“This restaurant really is our little ray of sunshine. My partner and I have returned to this restaurant over the years when we crave a 'naughty yet comforting' Sunday brunch. We order the same every time; Super breakfast, Lavazza coffee and a banana milkshake. The super breakfast is not for the faint hearted! We often just eat this meal only that day and in terms of value for money, quality and your traditional builder's cafe food, we love it. The homemade bubble and squeak is my favourite part. The milkshakes are thick and delicious. Their attentiveness to their customers is fabulous. The regular staff recognise us and recite our order every time. It makes us smile as honestly we are not there all the time! I would advise eating in rather then delivery. The service is quick and it tastes so much better freshly hot.”

“The best pub in the area with independent caterers selling food from the garden kitchen. Great selection of beers, wines and spirits with live music every Thursday evening and Sunday.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We had a wonderful meal celebrating our anniversary.. Food was amazing..stuffed mushrooms starter /Calves liver main course with vegetables/ Home made Tiramisu.. Staff were so helpful and looked after us ..wonderful atmosphere thank you I would definitely recommend this restaurant .”

“The staff were so friendly here, and the service was perfect. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes! We had a lovely time.”

“First place i like it Always they have a fresh food and great cafe”

“Friendly staff, consistently good food, reasonable prices”

“Lovely pub with super friendly staff. The food was delicious. I’ll be back ❤️”

“I didn't eat at this restaurant however I broke down outside the restaurant and the lovely man working that night came out to check on me twice and asked if I wanted to sit inside while I waited for someone to tow my car. They let me use their facilities as well which I really appreciated. Seeing this kind of service really made my evening after my car breaking down and I would 100% eat here after seeing that service”

“Amazing Saag Gosht. More tender lamb with spinach. Thanks, such a delight! The service great.”

“My boyfriend and I order delivery from this place fairly regularly and have always been happy with the food, prices and portion sizes.”

“My fave greasy spoon in the area. Everything cooked in fresh oil, side salads amazingly fresh and crunchy, food in general a very competent version of the classics.”

“Excellent place for Sheesha. Authentic place, tasty Sheesha! Nice booths with screens. Staff very friendly. A great place to just hang out, good music playing.”

“Lovely food (the grilled dumplings are to die for!). Delivered so quickly. Have tried a number of Chinese takeaways in the area, and always go back to China Chef, as they are so good.”
