Evening coffee in Orpington

“Tried this place by accident as the place around the corner was not open as advertised. Delighted I did. It's a food van in the shopping centre car park. The queue for lunch was reassuringly long, and with good reason; the food was tasty and generously portioned. Curry goat was lovely, as well as the jerk chicken. It was served with jollof rice rather than rice and peas but that made a nice change. Really nice Owner too. If I'm in the area will be sure to pay him a visit again”

“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!”

“The staff were so nice and welcoming, especially the owner, Raid. The food was lovely, and I really recommend the Oreo frappe. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Definitely would come back again!”

“Seasonal drinks have arrived, if you like orange chocolate the orange hot chocolate is lovely. Always had good service here even when they have a trainee as the barista manager seems to keep a close eye on things.”

“Clean & bright store. Good coffee served quickly by friendly staff at 8 am this morning - great start to my day. Thank you.”

“Wonderful staff at this Costa. The coffee always tastes amazing. There’s two girls that work here who are absolutely lovely. Bubbly personalities. Always have time for a conversation with me. Even when the shop is busy, the tables are always cleared. They always have a full range of snacks available. They have air conditioning inside and additional seating outside. The toilet, although clean could do with a refurbishment. It’s very old with visible damages.”

“Fantastic little find. Descended on this gem with a double buggy and 4 hot and hangry children ranging from 1 to 14 years old. Staff were friendly, food was really yummy, and great prices. All 5 of us were fed and had sufficient drinks on £37! Service is not included on the bill so make sure to bring some change. Staff definitely deserve it!”

“Had a lovely dinner last night! Starters and mains were delicious, plus they played good tunes!”

“This is such a great restaurant. Really can’t rate it highly enough! The owner is such a genuine person and always makes us feel so very welcome. My personal favourite is the hummus with bread to start and the chicken mix grill. Thank you and we look forward to our next trip.”

“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!”

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

“Excellent food and coffee staff very friendly reasonably priced”

“Knowledgeable and helpful. Purchased a watch from here about 5 years ago and another recently. Fair prices would highly recommend”
