Friends night 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!”

“Excellent range of products, much better prices than you'll find in other stores, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!”

“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”

“Lovely weekend lunch! The menu isn't extensive but there is enough choice and nobody felt they had to compromise. The kids menu was very good, plenty of options to cater for simpler and more adventurous tastes. The triple cooked chips, these days almost a pub cliché, are worthy of a special mention! Clean plates all around. What more can you ask for?”

“Perhaps the best Sunday roast I had in 8y living in the UK. I’ve been there with friends and I ordered the Jacob’s ladder to share. The meat was absolutely phenomenal, incredibly tasty and perfectly cooked (12h slow cook). Each vegetable served with meat (roast potato, carrot and butternut squash purée, etc) was flavourful as well as the Yorkshire pudding. The pub is very nice and it’s located just 5 min away from the old market square in Kingston. Friendly staff, reasonable prices”

“Great service, the only problem with this place is that we always end up leaving with more than we intended!”

“Great club with good staff too .”

“Wow what a place!! Someone on a random whattsapp group told me to give this place a good review. Iv heard no one has been stabbed there which is a great bonus if your bringing the family. Half way through the meal a kindly horse was helping an old Mexican man eat his soup. Tirelessly attempting to scoop up the broth with his big powerful hooves. Wow.”

“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!!”

“Amazing place to eat out! Fantastic good and amazing staff. Can't go wrong with this place!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We saw the new ant-men and it was awesome. The cinema was nearly empty so even better. Good service, clean and not too many kids in the theatre, absolutely amazing”

“Starter was great and drinks were strong and tasty but mains were disappointing, all served with chips instead of the accompaniments they were meant to be. Fast service”

“You sort of know what you're going to get with an O'Neill's, which is a good thing. I was very impressed here, the security was efficient and friendly. Although it was busy, there was a good atmosphere and the service was very quick. The fight was being shown on various screens around the pub, and although that's not my thing, the rest of the atmosphere was good. One of the better branches in the chain.”

“Bang on time”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“Came here on a Saturday evening, it was super busy but they had us sat down speedily. The service was attentive, fast, and friendly. I would 100% recommend the calamari, up there with the best I’ve had! The jungle curry is supposedly spicy but it was not spicy at all, and if you’re Bengali, it tastes like a traditional Bengali chicken curry with less spice!”

“We just had an amazing pizza night at Franco Manco Kingston Upon Thames branch. Pizzas were served super quickly, very tasty with plenty of filing. Nice relaxing atmosphere.”

“I was a little worried after reading previous reviews, but I needn't have been! Short walk from the station, greeted very warmly by Alizay who was an absolute joy. Given a choice of floors, so opted for 6 as figured it would be quiet. This is the business floor... Room was spotless, even a bit of a view from the window. No issues with getting in late after a gig, key card worked fine. I felt safe as a woman on my own. Comfy bed, great shower, and no rush to check out the next morning. Another lovely gent on reception. Would definitely stay again, easy quick walk to go look at some of the sights. Really can't find fault for the price.”

“Always very approachable, sort out issues quick.”

“Ordered off them Almost religiously for the last year and their pizza is so tasty always cooked just right and delivered super fast! All their drivers have all been polite and very kind to the kids that lie to answer the door with me... I felt like it was time I gave them a review as I know not enough people remember to review amazing service! I'm usually one of those people but a recent trip to another ocal pizza place was shambolic and made me realise how amazing and faultless these guys are! They always have lots of deals on and are very reasonably priced with them! I only wished they accepted cash but I understand why they don't right now and hopefully this option will return once things are "normal" again! Look forward to many future pizzas from these guys I won't be going elsewhere.”

“Amazing customer service, the two ladies were super helpful. 5 star service, I will definitely be returning!”
