Dining out experiences in Orpington

“Nice little gem. Had brunch on a Saturday. Food was good and prices not too bad. Staff was lovely. Will have to come back for drinks at some point.”

“Have loved Nandos since eating at one in South Africa years ago. Really tasty and vibrant food, served by friendly staff. Spicy chicken, chips and a very fresh salad along with a cold beer - fantastic after a film at the Odeon. Reccomended.”

“Our first time at this local pizza shop. We had a large pizza and it was the best pizza we have had. Good service and very friendly staff. A lot of locals come here.”

“I ordered chickpea burger and it was awesome. Quality was very good. My wife ordered boneless chicken thighs and it was very delicious. I recommend this place highly.”

“Great food at the end of a long day, Wonderfully tasty meat and a good fresh salad, and chips. Well done”

“Having bought lots of pine furniture from Jessie's parents before they retired, I was delighted to find out that Owen Pine was trading again under a new generation. And I wasn't disappointed with the desk that I ordered from them for my new home office, the quality is equally as good as it always was, Jessie was very helpful and provided an excellent service. I have no hesitation in recommending Owen Pine, and hope to buy more items in the future.”

“Amazing restaurant & a very high standard of food quality. I went with a friend and was met with lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and very attentive where needed. My family are from Corfu, Greece and I spent a lot of time there. The authentic flavours reminded me of being back! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean (covid friendly). Plenty of Mediterranean food choices along with lovely wine & cocktails. We had complimentary pitta bread & tzatziki, grilled prawns with garlic, whole sea-bass and fillet of sea-bass! All absolutely delicious, highly recommend. One of the best restaurants in Orpington x”

“Amazing food. Lovely friendly staff. Genuine family run restaurant . The food was out of this world. Highly recommend the mixed grill. Amazing evening. Thank you”

“Recent discovery. Fantastic selection of mutton, fish and vegetable dishes that did not disappoint. We’d certainly recommend.”

“5 star for everything! Maybe a little bit pricey for the size of the portions! 3 courses cost £70 that's with no drinks and including service charge. Baring in mind I had the vegetarian option which for that price sounds crazy! Otherwise food and service was really good, and a lovely atmosphere!”

“A really cosy place with delicious food. The service is incredibly quick and everyone takes really good care of you. Compliments to the chef, the food is amazing!”

“Cant fault them good cooked food always pleasent reasonably priced always go there Could not find a better place Albert”

“Great find... Had traditional Turkish breakfast which was tasty and healthy. Turkish sausage was wonderful. Coffee was aromatic and strong. Staff were attentive and friendly. Café was clean. Would definitely go back again.”

“This place is a true gem! Pad thai is my favourite dish of all time and Joy Kitchen makes the best in Orpington. Lots of veggie options which is really appreciated. The decor is nothing special but the food is really what shines through here. Have eaten in and had takeaway and enjoyed thoroughly both times.”

“Love this cafe. Plenty of room to sit and very comfortable chairs. Menus clear and very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and very efficient. Now to the main part. The lovely food. Every meal I've had here has been of the highest quality. Yet to find a cafe that offers such reasonably priced heavenly meals. One of the first restaurants I'm heading to after the lock down is reduced further. Keep safe people”

“Great place, lovely staff. They have very clear separate vegan and gluten free menus which is super helpful. Good selection of cocktails. We will definitely be back :)”

“Absolutely lovely food,my recommendations is the chicken kebab and the kofte kebab. Will most definitely go back when in the area.”

“Someone recommended this pub to me so I thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent pub with a good selection of beers. Well worth a visit.”

“Friendly, helpful staff and delicious food, equals a good experience. Took a trip here with the family and quite impressed with some of the food on offer. The interior is cozy, and rustic and combined with the staff makes for an inviting and chilled environment. Starting with the bad, the drinks are a little on the small side and don't really match the price well and that's all. As for the food no complaints. My family tried the following starters calamari rings which where really good, fresh by the tastes of it and the batter was nice fluffy and crispy. Homous (my brother described as satisfying which paired well with the bread, which itself was delicious and made the humous even better), falafel (light and moist in the middle) and the lamb with almonds (also pretty nice). As for mains these where all really good, personally for someone like myself the portions could have been just a tad bigger, but as we came during the lunchtime and got these on offer they where worth the price tag. I myself tried the sea bass which was crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. My brother had the chicken minced kebab which was nice and you could tell it was flame grilled which gave that extra something. As for the parents I think they picked the real winner which was the lamb ribs, despite the slightly small portion was easily the tastiest thing on the table. Good seasoning and cooked just right on the grills these are what I recommend to a first time visitor. Overall a solid experience and worth dropping by.”

“Great place for brunches. Lots of space, good quality food. Ability to order from table makes topping up easy. Staff are really helpful, already made a second trip!”

“So good wow! I ordered the honey and mustard wings which were amazing must try and chicken burger with crossed fries. Burger was perfect, warm and juicy and the fries with the smacks sauce delicious! Def recommend and definitely ordering again”

“Amazing food, great service, friendly staff. We ordered lamb meal and biryani it was good taste and quantity as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try indian food around the area.”

“Very good quality of meat. Seasoned very well. By far best place in orpington. Fast delivery and very good prices. I order from here weekly very good service cant beat them. Friendly welcoming people always a delight to pop in other than order.”

“Beautiful food never fails to disappoint always hot and still fresh when it arrives.Wouldn’t go anywhere else but here tried many others but don’t like them.”

“On dog friendly breakfast place I am aware of for miles, which is convenient when I pick my dog food. Staff are always friendly, the cafe is clean and the food is great.”

“Belmondo is a quiet unassuming little gem. Personal favourites are the house blend (so good it doesn't need milk and sugar), silver needles tea is the most beautiful floral hug in a cup. All the food is delicious, you will be spoilt for choice but you will love anything you choose!”

“I would recommend anyone that likes coffee to come here, had a great experience and will be back. Thank you very much.”

“A really nice traditional pub that serves a perfect pint of Guinness at only £3.60 a pint. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, especially Kate. Would highly recommend a visit.”

“Food is exceptional. The staff are very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and so are the toilets. We have been here twice now and still couldn't manage to eat all our food. Efes draft beer is the bees knees. Now need to blob on sofa. Would totally recommend this restaurant for all occasions. Enjoy. Thank you Eksular xx”

“Great food, great live music - definitely a place to visit for the weekend”
