London food scene in South Croydon

“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.”

“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.”

“Was recommended this cafe by my local FB page, and I can say, this cafe did not disappoint. Breakfast was spot on. Eggs were perfect, proper mushrooms and bacon. Everything on the plate was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Very clean, great ambiance and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

“Amazing service! Amazing food! Amazing portions! What else is there not to love??”

“I have had twice latte on two occasions. I appreciate the service and product. However, the college needs more training on customer service. The manager is outstanding.”

“Lovely sunny and fresh Saturday morning meant many people out and about.... Shop was very busy with customers queuing for takeaway as well as eat in. The lady working was all by herself and is an ABSOLUTE GEM! She was managing all the orders and coffees superbly.....with a smile too! She is a credit to hospitality and worth her weight in gold!”

“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!!”

“One of the best afghan cuisine. I usually go there with my friends”

“Dined at Taste of Bengal for the first time ever this evening and I have nothing but good things to say. The food was amazing, so flavoursome! Papadoms were offered whilst we decided on our mains and came out warm which was nice. I had a Badshahi Chicken and the Mr had a Chicken Tikka Masala, both had generous amounts of chicken. Sides included the best saag aloo I've had in ages, onion bhaji and garlic naan. Server (didn't catch his name sorry) closed with "we hope to see you again regularly, you'll always be very welcome" such a warm an friendly service. 100% recommend and will definitely be visiting again/ getting take away. Thank you!”

“Popular location with good ambience inside.Service was very quick (midweek dinner). Staff were great. Food taste and quality - great Though it's expensive, the quantity of the food is larger than other places to justify Samosa chat - 5*s Kerala fish curry -5*s Desi chicken curry - 4*s Chilly chicken - 4.5*s Butter and Garlic naan - 4*s Fruit juices were just good enough. Staff were so lovely to offer a small cake on my wife's Bday along with a candle on it. Highly recommended restaurant.”

“This is one of new favourite place to order from. Everything i order from this place feel like some attention is given to food preparation. Everything so far is best quality. Their spicy potato wedges are my most favourite. So i would highly recommend this place to any burger lovers. The milkshakes are so full of goodness - i have never managed to finish entire one in a go. Full benefits/returns of whatever you pay. Only recommendation to the management is the papers you guys wrap the burgers in smell of printed colours. It at times leaves a little smell on the burger. The smell does go off in seconds and doesn't bother the taste of the food at all - but would be nice if that paper bit is sorted :) Still that smell wouldn't stop me from ordering yummy food from you guys. Thanks so much for feeding us !”

“I and three friends visited Crepes&Cones on Sunday 20th November unintentionally. My friends and I had planned to dine elsewhere, which was fully booked. Crepes&Cones was on our list of places to dine at in the near future, it was relatively close to the fully booked restaurant we didn’t wait for, so took a chance going to Crepes&Cones. Despite a couple of reviews saying service was slow and waiting time very long we gave it ago and so glad we did. Service was excellent and waiting time was minimal to be fair it wasn't busy, a large group came after us and a few more people later on. We had an amazing meal with generous portions. We started off with the red velvet prawns, absolutely delicious in addition to the roulette of wings, tasty. Main course didn’t disappoint, once again generous potion and delectable. Service was excellent. We were served by a young lady named Olivia, she deserves 5 stars for being attentive and hardworking, she made us feel welcome, Olivia made sure we were ok. Definitely would recommend and hope to visit again.”
