London lunch spot in Croydon

“Today, we bought spicy pork Bibimbap, Chicken Bbq, KFC, Takoyaki, snow cakes... All sooooo yummy!! No regrets at all. Super delicious healthy food!! Thanks to the lovely owner and his family. The owner even gave us free scrumptious gyozas!! Eve xx”

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

“Absolutely delicious food. Great lamb. Fabulous salad. Incredible bread. Great, friendly service. Really good price. Will definitely 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.”

“Depending on what you order defines the quality of food rolls are not crusty or soft very chewie”

“My eldest has wanted to go here for quite some time. The childrens pizza was bigger than expected, about the same size as a normal pizza, so great value for money. I had the bbq crunch chicken wings too and they were delicious. The Oreo milkshake was very good. Staff very friendly and patient.”

“One our favourite Surrey Street friends ☺️ The best coffee on the street, hands down!”

“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!”

“Fantastic food, excellent and prompt service, polite staff and at a reasonable price. This is a great restraunt, and I highly encourage you to go. They were also very understanding of dietary restrictions, and made an excellent vegan pizza for me. The place is certainly child friendly, has what looks like easy access for wheelchairs, and a couple of parking spots outside, though they're not reserved for customers. My only complaint is that I like my pizzas a little more crisp, but I'm sure they would have obliged if I had only told them that.”

“Absolutely the best coffee shop around. Food is great, there are always a selection of freshly homemade cakes and treats plus a couple of quality savory items to chose from. The coffee drinks are excellent, they rival any of the great independent coffee shops in central London. The best thing about this place is the way it feels. It’s only little (as the name says) but it has a warm, lovely, homey, authentic vibe. (In normal times) there’s always a rotating crowd of people at the tables inside and outside, chatting and enjoying their neighborhood. When I moved to the area I found it hard to get know people but I always felt welcome here, wound up meeting the owners and lots of other patrons and got to learn a little more about the area thanks to the owners’ commitment to engaging with the wider community. Although they have been delivery only for the Covid period the tasty treats and warm vibes are still present. I can’t wait to be back in the shop again soon!”

“Warm and cosy, great welcome and atmosphere.Good coffee and cakes,an amazing choice.Will be back again to try the savoury selection.”

“Wonderful lunch and coffee. It's just out of sight off the road but what a find. They make a Sri-Lankan chicken on a Friday that is absolutlely lovely but it's so popular it's gone in a shot!”

“First time visiting with a friend. Great coffee and the Cypriot Sausage and Halloumi panini was delicious. Will definitely visit again.”

“This is by far one of my favourite restaurants in the UK! There are many reasons for this but in short, my experience on more than one occasion has been absolutely incredible. They offer exceptional customer service from start to finish. They are extremely friendly and welcoming. They understand the importance of customer satisfaction and always deliver to a high degree. I can tell this restaurant will continue to be a success because they are consistent in their service, which has led me to bring many of my friends and family there. The food is also 10 out of 10! The quality is excellent and they are also fast and efficient when serving. Everyone I have invited to this restaurant have also testified about the awesome experience that they have had! I can go on and on but to conclude I would like to say Thank you Unique Cusine! You are truly Unique indeed! May you continue to prosper! You deserve to be at the very top! Thanks again”

“Lovely breakfast, the sausages were the best around! And great prices too :-) Tony the owner is very friendly too. Will definitely be a regular spot for me!”

“Genuinely lovely coffee shop. Staff are great, food is unusual but yummy, coffee is delicious. And they LOVE dogs. Cosy basement if upstairs is full. Brilliant addition to Croydon café culturez”

“Best kebab shop by far wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!”

“Had a lovely late breakfast. I asked for lightly cooked mushrooms. Came out as I liked them.”

“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.”

“Nice coffee shop in south Croydon, the staff are warm and friendly. The coffee is very good (proper coffee). There is a lovely selection of pastry's and cakes to choose from. The coffee shop also has seating upstairs & downstairs.”

“First time trying from here as was in the area, and definitely great food, will definitely buy from here again!”

“Came in with a group for a Saturday morning brunch, we were very well looked after. Food and drinks came out quickly and was all very tasty and enjoyed by the group, whether it was a fry up or a Moroccan pancake. Great value too! Thank you to Le Bon Café, looking forwards to returning soon!”
