Foodie dining experience in Coulsdon

“Great customer service, friendly staff, lovely food , nice drinks, been here a couple times and would go here again. Nice atmosphere , quite small , can get busy. Highly recommended.”

“All the food was really good and the service was very friendly. The atmosphere was also really nice. The flowers on the tables were real instead of dusty plastic ones like I usually see in pubs. My partner really likes fried squid but had struggled to find a place that really nails it: crispy but not overcooked and not rubbery. This place had the perfect fried squid. We loved everything else we got as well: fried brie (pictured), chicken Caesar salad, sticky chicken, chips, and scallops.”

“Good fries, burger and wings. I normally don’t eat fries when I get a meal but their fries are nice and crispy.”

“Really impressed with this place. I've ordered from them 3 or 4 times now and the food has always been really good. The BBQ Mixed grill is great value for money and you get loads of meat for your money! Delivery is quick and they always include loads of sauces and dips, salad, etc.”

“A hidden Gem! Tucked away in a side road (Victoria Road) just off the main Brighton Road in Coulsdon is this small family run pizza restaurant. On the Wednesday night that we were there it was just Father cooking and Son serving the table. Probably the best Pizza I have ever had!! Well worth a visit! 5 stars well deserved!!”

“Eddie and his wife Evvie (?) were the perfect hosts. Two of our group were gluten free and we rang ahead and discussed our food options with Eddie ahead if time. We were super confident that there was no cross contamination and they took our dietary requirements seriously. That aside , the food was amazing! Fresh, flavourful and just so tasty. I was a tad sceptical about this place in comparison to a London restaurant but I have to honestly say it may well have been better in flavour, service mist definitely was friendly and personable. Very much coming back!!! Thank you !!”

“Lovely food, friendly service. Mary was so kind to our little ones. We will be back :-)”

“Lo Zafferano hosts the best and flavoursome authentic Italian cuisine. The menu is well varied and suitable for vegetarians too. Portion sizes are very generous and aesthetically pleasing to the eye and tastebuds. The deserts and cocktail menu is also mouthwatering! The service is always very warming and inviting- always feeling welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere is very soothing and relaxing with perfect lighting and music. I regularly frequent Lo Zafferano and will continue to do so!!!”

“We recently had a Thai takeaway from here on a Saturday night. Absolutely brilliant food. Extremely quick, even on prime time Saturday. Really friendly owners who are always happy to see you. You’d struggle to find a better local Thai than Poppy’s.”

“A lovely independent cafe with good coffee and food, and free WiFi. I just spent nearly 5 hours hanging out here while my car was being serviced/MoT'd across the road. This is something I have done on two previous occasions over the last 3 years. Each time I have enjoyed the food, drink, service and atmosphere here. On this occasion I had two perfectly poached eggs and two very tasty sausages on toast with good, strong, tasty coffee for my breakfast. I was able to hang out, having the occasional drink, working on my laptop with their fast, and free, wi-fi. I saw plenty of places to plug in and recharge if needed too. I ended up having lunch here as well, soup of the day, which was spicy lentil, absolutely delicious, and perfect for a cold, wet, winter's day. The fact that this lovely independent cafe is here, will be a key factor in choosing the next place I go for work on the car, and although I don't live especially close I will definitely pop in if in the area.”

“Fantastic little cafe, popped in on the off chance and very happily impressed, so much so that I've not even finished the custom breakkie I ordered at 5pm and I'm writing this. I'm honestly glad the Wimpy wimped out and made space for this friendly, family run cafe. Will be making it a regular haunt from now on. 100% Recommendation for this place A+ service, friendly staff and great menu, also custom breakkie to what you fancy.......oh and a nice massive Americano too”

“Great local Chinese, we've tried a load in the area and this one is definitely the best. Ordered online and delivered within 30mins on a Saturday night, much faster than expected. We ordered the crispy duck (delicious!), Singapore noodles, King Prawns in ginger and sorting onion, squid, and the broccoli and garlic sauce. Complimentary prawn crackers and some even some spring rolls. Will be returning!”

“Excellent food and friendly service would highly recommend to anyone”

“Great food and very reasonably priced. A little quiet which is why I don't score highly for atmosphere.”
