Dining out in Kingston Upon Thames

“This was our first visit as we were just visiting the area for a few days. It was absolutely fantastic. The ambience of the place is amazing and the food is so delicious, fresh and authentically Lebanese/Arabic. The portions were very generous and we just could not stop eating. The bread was freshly baked and so tasty. Amazing service from the lovely staff Levi and Ali who were very welcoming and professional. A very special thanks to the chef, Hani. We wanted a couple of things changed on the dishes we had ordered and we did not mention this before until we were served with our food. However, the chef gladly accommodated this and brought back our dishes exactly like we wanted and with a smile. Couldn't have had a better meal. He even made a special dessert for us which was just so tasty and mouth watering that we ordered another portion to take away with us. Please make sure you add this to your menu? Highly recommend.”

“I ordered without reading the menu properly and was expecting a falafel wrap but what came was this delicious flavourful falafel box with really nice balance of flavours. Tasted really good and also felt like I was being healthy!”

“My husband and I are so pleased to see L'Assaggino opened in Kingston after our lovely experience at the Richmond restaurant. The staff at lunchtime today were very pleasant and helpful, the menu was varied & interesting and the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced considering the very high quality of it; the wine we chose was so nice we wanted to buy some to bring home. We look forward to returning to what could well be our new favourite local. Well done to the whole team there, we wish you all continued success.”

“This place was great! Authentic German restaurant with nice outlook over the river. Wait staff dressed accordingly and everyone was very welcoming. It’s very meat based (as would be expected) but they have some veggie/vegan options which my friends enjoyed. I had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was yum! And of course all the beer and wine is German too. Recommend booking ahead as it gets busy - but we were luckily able to get a walk-in on a Saturday night. We were in the smoking area outside but no one was actually smoking. Tables are big and good for groups. Will be back!”

“Thai on Thames is such a hidden gem. The food is delicious and the staff are so lovely. Our favourites are the Pad Thai, massaman curry, fried cod in curry sauce and the calamari! Definitely try this place if you are in the area”

“So blessed that I found this restaurant near the river. It was a sunny day and good vibe at Cote. The staff were super nice and polite, food were ok. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Kingston and wants to have a chill and relaxed day.”

“Just spent a lovely evening at the Black Horse for the first time. Took my family for a Sunday Roast and it was exceptional. Really great food and atmosphere, plus service with a big smile from the lad behind the bar Jamie. All in all a great way to end the weekend.”

“This is a lovely pub with a friendly and helpful landlord! It's near both bus and train station, in Kingston! Had a great pint of Irish real ale! We also had a really good meal, a mixed grill, which was also a good price and filled us up, we will b going back!!”

“Really lovely pub with great Thai food and very welcoming too. It is also dog friendly which makes it 100x better. My dog had the best time ever playing with the owners dog. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning very soon!”

“Good patience & professional advice from sales lady Djamila. I've problems finding shoes that fit due to the shapes of my feet, but am happy to have found what I needed at this shop.”

“Starters Mains and Desserts, on point no complains. The Burgers were Delicious and full of flavour. Food and Service was Excellent, Not too Crowded. They also have Happy Hour Cocktails.”

“I have the Chinese New Year dinner in Idimsum Kingston, which is sooooo yummy, I have to say it is the best Chinese food I have in the UK. Meanwhile, it is so beauful, which is a fantastic art.”

“Lovely friendly bar. Staff were amazing. Food was excellent. We had the beef Wellington which was the best I've ever eaten. Nicola the landlady was very welcoming and Charlie the bar man was very attentive and comical. Will be back next week for dinner after Christmas shopping. A definite yes from us.”

“If I could give this place 20 stars then I would because it is absolutely amazing in this place. The staff is amazing also the food is top quality, I highly recommend to try the chicken wings too!”

“Lovely food and the general vibe is very friendly too :)”

“I’ve been lucky enough to go to Eleana’s a few times now - and every time has been outstanding. Delicious dinners, beautiful brunches, cracking cocktails. Slow-cooked lamb; dripping with flavour. Perfectly poached eggs; oozing with yolk. Fabulous French Toast; exploding with flavour and texture. I highly recommend this restaurant for so many reasons. The decor is subtle and classy. The owners kind and attentive. The food tasty and from the heart. Give it a go if you’re in the area; you won’t be disappointed.”

“Had such an amazing meal here last night, such delicious fresh sushi and really friendly staff. Will definitely go back!”

“Always good. Friendly, courteous and good price. Great to have them close to me.”

“We love eating here, my son especially likes the chicken nuggets and chips! I recommend the halloumi. Great service and wonderful staff!”

“We ordered our wedding cake and it was delicious!!!! Everyone enjoyed it. Good price and service! Simona was really nice. I totally recommend!”

“Amazing food, lovely staff and amazing option available for people who are Vegan…definitely a go to place if you are in Kingston”

“Amazing tasting food, portion sizes are extremely good for the money, came here twice in two days whilst I had a trip up to Kingston, amazing place to eat”

“The most/only authentic Italian restaurant. The food was amazing. Lovely staff, ambience and service. Would highly recommend. Definitely the best pizza in Kingston.”

“Fantastic fish and chips, always cooked fresh to order and very friendly service. A fantastic local fish and chip shop, our new “go to” place in Kingston Upon Thames for fish and chips in the evening!”

“It was amazing experience at the Wych Elm. 5 star food and super friendly staff. We celebrated my husband birthday there and they prepared for the balloons and decorations. Highly recommended and we definitely will come back!”

“I work local, so the Kingston food market is usually where I grab my lunch, for me Namu is the best food market in town. The sweet and sour chicken with rice is as good as anywhere. The taste, the portion, the price. 10/10.”

“Called in for lunch yesterday & enjoyed delicious food (my partner had the loaded fries & I had a chickpea burger with fries) & drinks (I had a yummy but somewhat potent Singapore Sling!). Had a real buzz about it (despite the fact it wasn't that busy at 12) & the attention to detail from a decor perspective was great (lots of nods to music & even a skeleton!!). Staff were smiley & efficient too. Will deffo go back again!”

“Great food and service. We tried lamb tashreeb and Iraqi special kebab. Both tasted good and flavourful. They also give a lentil soup as a complementary which itself is delicious. Liked their ayran also, which was made in-house.”

“Decent Vietnamese restaurant! Salt and pepper shrimp was yum, and vermicelli was spot on. Beef pho had more than enough meat with well balanced soup. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. Our server was super sweet as well.”
