Top 30 Best Local restaurants in South Croydon

“This is a very relaxed and cosy restaurant with really good food and good service my husband says it’s best Persian food in London. They also have good vegetarian options. Really good freshly made bread.”

“What's not to love about Little Bay? Book for the back of the restaurant with the eccentric design and live opera on a Friday (it's better than it sounds, trust me! They literally sing the songs then explain the performance for those who aren't familiar so you understand). The food is great and such amazingly reasonable prices. Am addicted to the mussels and the chicken but they've never quite nailed my steak preference (but that could be more me than them). Highly recommend. Book NOW!”

“Friendly polite and attentive service. The food hits the spot, but they forgot to give me a fork for loaded fries :/”

“Tasty food with good prices. Pretty decor and cosy feel. Friendly waitress so can't ask for more. Wish they did a few more choices of sushi rolls”

“Amazing food for excellent prices and a seemingly constant clientele confirms it's popularity”

“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.”

“The menu is so good, really fresh authentic Thai food. Also options for burgers and traditional pub food which looked great too! The prices are also very reasonable. £8.50 for the curries (including rice) It’s a must! 10/10 ps - lovely staff :)”

“I highly recommend this cafe for their outstanding service and delicious breakfast.”

“Lovely service the food out of this world. Host Edi was brilliant order came on time and she came back to make all is ok.”

“We ordered our first take away (delivery) from Blossom House on Saturday evening and were so impressed. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I especially liked the soft noodles - highly recommended! We were also most impressed with the professional service. So good to be able to order online as most take away services' telephones are constantly engaged in lockdown. We live in a remote spot but the delivery driver found our house straight away. We will definitely order from Blossom House again.”
