Indian dining experiences in Croydon

“I first found this out in December and wow this shop is simple and food is lovely I went on a day it was in strike day Asian food very nice indeed. Quality quality value for money I had to take my food home later on it is well served.”

“We ordered from here for takeaway (delivery) and the food was amazing!! Great taste, great quality and worth the money! All of us really enjoyed it and delivery was efficient and on time. Would definitely recommend and eat from here again!!”

“Been having takeaway from these guys for the past couple of years and generally they're great. The curries are really tasty and naans are always excellent. Delivery is usually fairly swift and friendly. Only criticism is that sometimes the papadoms are over done and not that fresh (chewy).”

“The service and quality of the food was absolutely top notch. They made our night really special. We will be returning!”

“Navratna hosted a surprise 40th birthday party for a close family member. They were very generous in accommodating us on a Monday (when they are usually closed). We were given the entire restaurant and facilitated early entry allowing us to decorate and re-arrange the seating. Food was lovely as always and well presented despite the larger number of guests. The chef and staff were very attentive and polite throughout and served with humility. Navratna provided a memorable evening and we are very thankful for their hospitality. Highly recommended.”

“Really good tasty food, great menu, nice friendly staff. Love the masala dosa.”

“This place is amazing!! We ordered at the bar, and our food was ready in no time. It’s a little pricey, but well worth it! You get what you pay for. The food is delicious!”

“Great Place to get some Indian food . When we ordered we actually for a discount for picking it up ourselves. Great choice, great pallet of flavours. Will most definitely order here again”

“Zabardast is a cafe that specializes in Indian Wraps. Everything is freshly made in the open kitchen just like Subway where you can see and choose your fillings. There is a sitting are so you can enjoy your food there.”

“Fabulous service and tastes of delicious food at the UK, I just personally loved it.”

“If you're looking for a decent Kerala cuisine in South London, look no further than this restaurant. The flavors were spot on and transport you straight to the south. The fish pomfret curry was particularly delicious, as well as all the other items we ordered. The service was also great, especially with the staff being very helpful in recommending dishes. The ambiance was decent and inviting and really clean. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to try some delicious South Indian food.”

“It is 100% the best Indian in Croydon. Ok they are not fast when it comes to getting your food to you but once you do get it it’s so nice . I wish it was they can deliver to my new house in Sussex”

“Always a good place to eat and drink! Food fabulous as ever and with such quantities, there is plenty for a next day foodie fest!”

“Well what can I say. I love Zafran. Food is alway on point. Great food= great service. Staff alway go above and beyond.”

“Not sure about the older reviews - I see mixed opinions; my experience with it - we just ordered from Rajeev after he moved to the Jolly Farmers pub. Food was very nice, arrived quick with no delivery fee and they’ve got a lot of mains in the menu that I never tried / you typically don’t find in most Indian restaurants. We’ll order again surely and looking forward for the summer to eat in at the pub garden.”

“Excellent service from staff! Food was good quality and arrived quickly. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent eating place, clean good looking and staff are brilliant. The owner is Mo he's brilliant at suggesting really nice authentic Indian dishes if you want something a little more true to asian cooking he will cater for you. The only downside is the disable access to the restaurant and the bathroom, otherwise they are willing to help in any way they can. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Ps not badly priced either so looking forward to another visit before I leave London.”

“Great food, first time I've tried it here and really good. Well worth ordering here again!”

“Wonderful food and great prices - if you want to taste true authentic Pakistani food this is your go to place! The staff are so friendly and nice and the food is amazing. The lamb Nihari, biryani and Payee are the best I’ve ever tasted! I always book in family orders and events through Zaika, never had any complaints only praise. Thank you as always!”

“Great food, very friendly staff. Vada pav had a slightly different coating but tasted delicious. Pav bhaji was good, ras malai cake is a must try. Good find in Croydon given that there are rare Indian street food restaurants here.”

“Got Pizza Paratha from here and yeah they have variety of other food items. Doodh Patti was amazing, served by their most welcoming staff. Thank you all, I'll be back soon. Much recommended in George street London”

“I cant believe such a big samosa, mouth watering, didn't know there is such an authentic place exist in our neighbourhood. Cant believe biryani only for £2.49..must try!!!”

“Great and warm welcome from Kat (Barrister) as soon as I walked in, very friendly, warm and energetic. She made my drink to absolute perfection. I love this space and find it a calm place to study. So glad I have somewhere I can go too just round the corner with amazing coffee.”

“Loved it!!!! The food was delicious, with the right amount of spice. The service was great, staff were very polite and very friendly. I have been to so many Nepalese restaurant, must say this is the only Nepalese restaurant that has provided great food with great service. Will be going back again.”

“Delicious, high quality Indian cuisine with a large variety of dishes and lovely service. We were so impressed that we ordered some dishes takeaway for the next day as well! 150% recommend!”

“The dishes are very flavoursome, the nan breads thin and fluffy and the service always excellent. Have been dining in and ordering from here for many years now and this is the best Indian restaurant in the area without a doubt. The menu is extensive and the food always prepared to a high standard. Highly recommended.”

“Very reasonably priced. Food was very tasty and the customer service was excellent. We tired this place for a first time on Valentine’s Day and will be going back.”

“Delicious Food and very nice and friendly staffs. If you looking for a real south Indian food. Here we go this is the place for that "The Kerala".”

“Had an absolutely lovely experience at Paratha Inn when I visited in 2021. I am planning to return soon when I am in the area. The Parathas were lovely and the ambience of the restaurant was great. I loved the food immensely and my kids loved the food as well. The portion sizes of the Parathas was quite big too. Definitely visit this place.”
