Dining for special occasions in Sidcup

“Under new ownership the last few weeks, and now the food is fresh and really high quality, the batter has a lovely crunch and the cod really light and fresh. Cash only at the mo, but the owner said once it gets busy he will start accepting card. Very friendly owner. Let's hope the standard stays as high as it is at the moment. Will be back.”

“Went in late Dec for a meal with my wife. The ambience is quite in your face so if you like a quiet restaurant, maybe here is not for you but they play nice music and it's not so loud you can't talk. Food portions are huge, which we appreciated! Ordered the shared platter for two with a lovely bottle of Greek wine. Waiters were pleasant enough. It's not fancy but it is honest, solid food (and a ton of it), with a robust party atmosphere! It's not cheap but it's also not expensive either. I'd go back.”

“Very nice. The staff are great, the service is excellent and the food is cooked to a very high standard. Beautiful clean restaurant and nice attention to detail. Would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal in this area.”

“Lovely place to relax and eat. Spacious and airy and not on top of other tables. Efficient staff who don't keep you waiting. Well done chefs for excellent food at a great affordable price.”

“What a delightful discovery. I visited Sidcup taking my son for his second jab and when he was done we popped round the corner for a bite to eat. We wondered passed a couple of cafes and noticed there seemed to be a bit of a bustle in this beautifully decorated establishment, so figured we'd see what it was all about. Pushed into the door and was immediately met by a vibe that lifted our spirits. Very welcoming and friendly staff soon guided us to an available table and presented us with menus. The menus were sturdy and well laid out. The variety was impressive. I wish a took a picture. Even though I was up for a fried breakfast there was something about the menu that made me feel like I was eating well. There was an enjoyable chatter going on in the place the whole time, it was clear the patrons were regulars and if I lived near this place I'm sure I would become one too. I can't praise this place enough.”

“First time trying The Caverna, it was absolutely lovely. Food was fresh, tasty and arrived hot! The salt and pepper calamari was melt in the mouth. Thank you for a lovely takeaway, we will definitely be ordering again in the future!”

“Wow, wow, wow! I am on a search to find the best Turkish food, kebabs and grilled meat in the UK. This as absolutely 100% 10 out of 10. The cuts, flavours and seasoning of their meat were amazing and cooked so beautifully well. Well done Elfida Restaurant, you did yourselves proud!”

“Delicious, hearty Lebanese food served in a wonderful and friendly atmosphere! Charbel the chef and owner kindly checked on us and ensured we were having a great time. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more - 10/10!”

“Lovely food, lovely service with very friendly staff. very highly recommend. atmosphere is very pleasant especially on a nice day with the doors open”

“I eat out every day. So I know quality over quantity. This little Italian restaurant always delivers high quality food and an experience. Only criticism I would have never known it’s there. I literally went in there by accident to try something new and I loved the food so much I haven’t stopped going back. I’ve eaten at this place for a good few years now. I’m really surprised it’s not full to capacity every single day. It’s a small family owned Italian with delicious food and the service is 10/10.”

“Amazing food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back .”

“I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old. My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later. It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come. 3 generations later and still the same classy experience; The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble. If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.”

“Very good value for money. Sushi was good for what you are paying and is presented nicely with good choice of bubble teas. Atmosphere of restaurant could be improved”

“Had a wonderful lunch at Sophie’s Choice celebrating my 70th Birthday. The food was delicious and plenty of it as usual with a wide choice. All my guests were very impressed. The staff and service were excellent. Would thoroughly recommend this gem of a restaurant”

“Absolutely delicious food, the best in the area by far. Plenty of options for meat-eaters and vegetarians, great prices too Would 100% recommend.”

“Great service, had the place to myself (a large crowd had just left) and they kindly cooked a great meal just for me!!”

“My nearest Indian restaurant that happens to be best in Sidcup and I've tried them all. Looks like an average restaurant from outside but go in and order to experience the difference. They have an extensive menu with both standard and special dishes but what I really like is the staff's willingness to customise their dishes on request. The menu stands up well against Central London gourmet restaurants like Dishoom and Chutney Mary. Normally have a weekly takeaway with occasional dining in. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely early dinner with grandsons and my dad, staff lovely, food excellent”

“Best chicken tikka shaslick in Sidcup Great value for money excellent staff”

“Great tasty food with a warming ambience. African food isnt always cooked well but I applaud the kitchen staff because I truely enjoyed the food. The only down side was that there were no cocktails of my choice but apart from that everyhing else was great. The DJ had me moving and the staff were very much welcoming. I would definitley be going back!”

“Great classic Chinese takeaway-a little family run gem in Sidcup. We’ve been coming here for years and the food quality is consistently good and amazing value. Excellent Chinese style curry and Singaporean Rice vermicelli our favourites. Pancake rolls are hand-made which means we’ll happily wait for delivery but if busy go and collect!”

“Great looking pub. Helpful staff on shift as well. I popped along to look at the quality of the bar following a referb for a project I am working on and was impressed. Good selection of drinks and nicely presented and played out. Will pop back for a few drinks ks sometime soon”

“Great service and very very quick. Food excellent. Just be aware that tables by windows are colder as servers go in and out to the outdoor pods. Lovely meal there!!”

“Food very tasty, staff very polite and courteous, will definitely visit again .”

“Been coming here for fish and chips for a few years always enjoyable the food Is spot on some of the tastiest cod and batter I've eaten and the chips are always soft and full of flavour”

“I cannot rate this place highly enough! I've been a customer for at least 12 yea4s and I can honestly say hand on heart I have NEVER had a bad meal! It's excellent every time, food tastes wonderful, is always hot and delivered in an incredible time frame. In some cases 20mins from ordering! They are in my opinion the best Chinese in this area!”

“When I come here the employ’s always treat me with respect and the food here is amazing I recommend this place”

“I have been recommended to try this local Indian restaurant. When we went there, what can I say the atmosphere, service and the food was fantastic. So happy that we went there. Look forward to going again.”

“I've just moved back to Sidcup after many years away and Vino Vita with a new look is still here. My needs are all supplied in one place no queuing just good shopper sense does the trick. Good to see somethings don't change.”
