Dining out in east london in Welling

“Went here for the first time on Wednesday and was back on Friday for my wife's birthday. It is in a different league to you standard Indian. The chef is brilliant, a true gentleman and produces outstanding food. I can't recommend it enough.”

“We had an incredible dinner! Everything was so tasty! Highly recommend and will definitely be back cause the menu had so many interesting dishes! Highlight was the complimentary semolina syrupy cakes pieces that came with the bill”

“I ordered here for the first time and I loved the food. The brown stew fish was so delicious and flavoursome, the rice and peas were tasty, the steamed vegetables were enjoyable and the dumpling was good. The dumpling was thrown in for free which was a nice touch. The portion sizes are very generous, really good value for money. I phoned the restaurant to see if the rice and peas were included with the brown stew fish and the woman on the phone was really warm and friendly. I've tried many Caribbean takeaways in East London and this one is by far the best. I would highly recommend!”

“What a hidden treasure. We live around here but this is our first time visiting. I just had what might be the best quiche I've ever had. It just melts in your mouth and makes feel at home. The salad was fresh and perfectly seasoned and salted. Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu.”

“This is hands down one of the best pubs in London. The craft beer selection is really good and at a very fair price. The place is just beautiful, clean toilets. Nice music, and nice atmosphere. Service is fast and always good lager suggestions. Would definitely recommend this place.”

“Let's go straight to the point: the pizza is amazing. But I'm not talking about any pizza, I'm talking about the Four Cheese Truffle pizza. It's out of this world, it really blew my mind. I also ordered some Calabrian Chilli potatoes to start and finished with their Tiramissu, which I must say, was much, much better than my highest expectations, I loved it. Great place for groups, lunch time is more quiet but night time gets pretty noisy.I'd make a reservation for dinner, including weekdays, but surely on weekends.Totally recommend this place, great environment, great food.”

“Called in for a couple of drinks on a hot day, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. An eclectic mix of clientele, but all very friendly. Nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and one I'd like to go back to. Unfortunately, the Miller's Well is on the list to be sold by Wetherspoon as of writing this. Hoping another chain will take it on. It would be a shame for the area to lose a good watering hole.”

“Clean, modern and safe. Great breakfast and evening meal. The staff were very nice. A short walk from Central Line underground. Close to ABBA arena. No complaints at all.”

“One of the best lunch spots for a hearty and delicious satay chicken and rice! Always go for the large even though the standard portion is pretty hefty. The pickles are amazing and the rice is always perfectly cooked. I get it at least once a week and the staff are always friendly! Highly recommended!”

“So glad me and my family, after living in Welling for a very long time, finally went to Eastern Curry. We each had a starter and main; it was all absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. A lovely atmosphere inside the restaurant as well. A real hidden gem in the area.”

“So glad to have this restaurant in South Croydon. The food is incredible with an excellent varied menu. Spicy, flavoursome and authentic! The beautiful presentation and tableware also adds to the experience. Service is great and attentive and helpful.”

“Food was just delicious! Waiters were very friendly and attentive. Price on menu was very reasonable despite being central london location, worth visiting for meal or dinner with friends. Booked for a birthday dinner under Gurps.”

“Generous portions, we ordered vegetables, chicken & prawn (3 of us) couldn't finish it . Taste lovely! We had a pot of spices tea for sharing, bang on! Impressed by the food presentation, great surprise. We just walked in without any information, turned out a great dinning experience, plus friendly service & welcoming staff, definitely on my 'return" list!”

“I came at a time where it wasn't busy so I was able to stay for however long I wanted which is amazing if you've come to smoke shisha and just chill. The workers will treat you with such good care and they'd check up on you and go the extra mile to satisfy your needs. I highly recommend this lounge and will be coming again very soon 10/10”

“We had pizza, calzone and tiramisu. It was lovely, quite busy and lots of birthdays going on around us. Only niggle is that we wish the tiramisu was a bit sweeter. There is a bump/step to get over to get in and toilets are downstairs, so not particularly accessible.”

“Chesham Arms is a hidden gem of a pub located on a quiet back street that offers a lively and cosy atmosphere. The pub boasts a warm and inviting fireplace that adds to the overall charm on cold nights. The large beer garden is a real highlight, providing ample space for groups of friends to enjoy a pint in the sunshine on a hot day. Nice selection of beers with a range of local and international brews available. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to offer recommendations to those unsure of what to order. Great spot for an evening out with friends or a weekend afternoon in the beer garden. Its cosy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit for anyone looking for a welcoming and authentic pub experience.”

“Went here with my girlfriend. It’s a tapas place, so expect small portions. The food was really really good. I was mostly surprised by the Jerome’s desert, so definitely get it. For food, we got the 3 dips dish and 3 other dishes, and that was enough for us. If you like Middle Eastern food, I’d recommend it.”

“Really authentic Singaporean-Tamil food - properly spiced and seasoned too! The dosa was particularly delicious! Bonus points because they stock Indian soft drinks and beer!”

“Visited this evening for the first time with my husband and was pleased with the first impressions and ambience of the restaurant. We were seated and given clean, quality menus. We ordered a pina colada, ginger ale and 2 diet cokes. Regular cokes were brought out in error and were quickly substituted. The seating was comfortable and we were brought out a small table lamp which was a novel touch. We ordered aloo tikki for starters, which took a tad on the longer side to come out, but no big deal. Well presented and tasty. Mains we ordered, chicken tikka, handi murgh, butter naan, plain and saffron rice. The bread was soft and rice fluffy. Chicken tikka was cooked just right, nicely flavoured. Handi murgh was also good, particularly because I prefer thigh meat. The pina colada was really tasty, I would have preferred a piece of fresh pineapple as the garnish rather than the dried one personally. For dessert we wanted the almond kheer, but it was sadly finished, so we had the pistachio creme brulee and the date sponge with chai ice cream. The brulee was really good and I'd recommend it. The sponge was a bit dense for me, but the ice cream was great. We had this with karak chai, which was lovely. I felt all portion sizes were spot on. If you fancy a nice sit down meal where the service is excellent, I recommend trying The Cardamom Room. The service was top throughout our sitting. Regularly clearing dishes, wiping the table and checking we were happy without being intrusive.”

“Farfesh Lounge had a lovely atmosphere. Good shisha. Nice drinks. We weren't hungry so didn't have food. It was a bit surprising that Google maps shows it as Italian given that the menu items weren't Italian except for pizza. Perhaps the menu has changed. Regardless, we had a great time and we'd happily return.”

“If you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant that serves top quality food with a personal touch on service then look no further than this local gem. Check it out. Mario and his team will look after you as they did our team of 8 today 13th Aug 2021. We all had an amazing lunch with a beautiful house red or 3. Terrific recommendation from our good friend Nigel. Cheers Gregg”

“Best devil potatoes in a long while. Great food and price. The visit here following a long day that included spending time at St. George’s A&E saved the day.”

“The food is lovely. We have ordered from there many times. The staff are always welcoming and always a smile when entering the takeaway. I recommend to anyone local to Bexleyheath & surrounding areas.”

“Delicious meal for our group of elderly today. Thank you Hayley and team for serving us so patiently!”

“We have visited restaurant on Friday night. Place was busy which was great to see. We had very friendly and nice waitress. Food was absolutely fantastic! Drinks were served in no time. Really good time and experience!”

“Good service, quick food, nice venue. And very importantly, I didn’t feel rushed to pay despite the venue being full. You get 1.5 hours of mostly uninterrupted booking. The broth for curry laksa wasn’t as tasty as hare and tortoise in Chiswick in my opinion but the yaki soba was delicious.”

“Been eating in and takeaways for years. Always top notch food and never disappointed, would highly recommend.”

“Now under new management. Plans to restart food service particularly sunday lunches are welcome. The new bar staff are friendly and the beer is kept well. Worth finding a parking space for!”

“Great pub with proper beer. Lots of lovely brewdog beers featuring some lesser well known ones (the oatmeal milk stout was delicious) and interesting beers from other breweries as well. Very nice proper pub vibes, and isn't always completely overcrowded. Bar staff are quite pleasant and helpful”

“We had a fabulous time as usual. Our server Nely was so friendly and attentive. We booked for next weekend while we were having our meal.”
