“Excellent food. Have eaten here for the first time and it was a good experience. Staff was friendly. Great flavours. Really enjoyed the food. One suggestions: Toilets need more cleaning. Apart from this everything else was fabulous.”

“Amazing food. Lovely friendly staff. Genuine family run restaurant . The food was out of this world. Highly recommend the mixed grill. Amazing evening. Thank you”

“Have wanted to try ST since it opened - love the fact the menu changes regularly . Visited with two friends last Friday night , we had a great time. The food is very fresh and tasty , the service was excellent - especially considering how busy it was. Will definitely be coming back - we’re lucky to have such a lovely spot in petts wood.”

“5 star for everything! Maybe a little bit pricey for the size of the portions! 3 courses cost £70 that's with no drinks and including service charge. Baring in mind I had the vegetarian option which for that price sounds crazy! Otherwise food and service was really good, and a lovely atmosphere!”

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

“We have ordered many deliveries from here and dined in as well. Really good Banquet offer on Wednesday and Sundays - now has a drinks license. Can heartily recommend to anyone for a great Indian and really high quality food.”

“A really cosy place with delicious food. The service is incredibly quick and everyone takes really good care of you. Compliments to the chef, the food is amazing!”

“Traditional style cafe serving breakfasts, roast dinners and more. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Very helpful providing a tricky dietary requirement.”

“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.”

“Food was very good. Spicing right for the symbols on the menu. Portions were generous and mix of ingredients was up at the premium end - plenty of meat and prawns in the Singapore noodles for instance. Logistics were easy - call in with order, time to collect and it was ready then and well packed. All in all an excellent meal.”

“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!”

“Amazing food, great service, filling portions. 100% reccomend”

“We had Afternoon Tea for four people. Excellent value for money! The table looked superb, the food was fresh and delicious (It just kept coming!). The restuarant clean and bright. The service was a perfect balance of being attentive but not intrusive. Friendly, welcoming and pleasant staff too. A huge thank you to Kate and her team. We would highly recommend a visit.”

“Went to Cypriani’s for the set menu and satin dolls night. The singing was brilliant, and the food matched. Tony did a great job looking after us and Nick made us feel very welcomed. 5/5”

“Food is exceptional. The staff are very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and so are the toilets. We have been here twice now and still couldn't manage to eat all our food. Efes draft beer is the bees knees. Now need to blob on sofa. Would totally recommend this restaurant for all occasions. Enjoy. Thank you Eksular xx”

“Amazing pub with a great atmosphere, staff were very friendly, respectful, kind and understanding. Some of the staff are fairly new so it’s best to be patient and give them time to get your order ready. The food is absolutely superb, theres a lot of variety to choose from and the chefs give you a lot of wiggle room to mix and match to make yourself the perfect meal. Also a decent selection of drinks to choose from such as cocktails, ciders, ales you name it. Overall it makes for a very enjoyable experience”
