Top 30 Best Restaurant features in Kingston Upon Thames

“Simply the best place in SW London for authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi. Have been coming here for 20 years (back in the day when it was called Miura Foods.) Excellent quality fish. Great staff. Open through the majority of our COVID lockdown providing the people of Kingston with delicious Japanese food.”

“My husband and I are so pleased to see L'Assaggino opened in Kingston after our lovely experience at the Richmond restaurant. The staff at lunchtime today were very pleasant and helpful, the menu was varied & interesting and the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced considering the very high quality of it; the wine we chose was so nice we wanted to buy some to bring home. We look forward to returning to what could well be our new favourite local. Well done to the whole team there, we wish you all continued success.”

“The owner is super friendly. Came in the evening and received 2 free wings Top 5 chicken places I have gone to.”

“Great food and service. We tried lamb tashreeb and Iraqi special kebab. Both tasted good and flavourful. They also give a lentil soup as a complementary which itself is delicious. Liked their ayran also, which was made in-house.”

“Thai on Thames is such a hidden gem. The food is delicious and the staff are so lovely. Our favourites are the Pad Thai, massaman curry, fried cod in curry sauce and the calamari! Definitely try this place if you are in the area”

“One of my favourite place for dinner in Kingston aria . Always delicious food and great customer service. See you soon xx”

“Wow what a place!! Someone on a random whattsapp group told me to give this place a good review. Iv heard no one has been stabbed there which is a great bonus if your bringing the family. Half way through the meal a kindly horse was helping an old Mexican man eat his soup. Tirelessly attempting to scoop up the broth with his big powerful hooves. Wow.”

“So blessed that I found this restaurant near the river. It was a sunny day and good vibe at Cote. The staff were super nice and polite, food were ok. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Kingston and wants to have a chill and relaxed day.”

“Just spent a lovely evening at the Black Horse for the first time. Took my family for a Sunday Roast and it was exceptional. Really great food and atmosphere, plus service with a big smile from the lad behind the bar Jamie. All in all a great way to end the weekend.”

“Very friendly place. Really enjoyed the food. Not too pricy for the quality. I totally recommend this restaurant. Leo from Switzerland (02APR2023)”

“Lovely atmosphere. Fantastic food. Very tasty and beautifully presented. The Open Posh Lamb Kebab is a must try. The house Prosecco isn’t bad either. Below scores are out of 10 Customer Service 8 Food Quality 9.5 Atmosphere 10 Presentation 9 Products 10 Location 9 Overall 9.5 I also like the sense of humour in the menu”

“Starters Mains and Desserts, on point no complains. The Burgers were Delicious and full of flavour. Food and Service was Excellent, Not too Crowded. They also have Happy Hour Cocktails.”

“Starter was great and drinks were strong and tasty but mains were disappointing, all served with chips instead of the accompaniments they were meant to be. Fast service”

“Great takeaway! Ready in 40 mins. All dishes hot and delicious. And 20% off too. Good value for money”

“Davidson House is one of the best accomodation option for students in Kingston, it's location is perfect for commuting to anywhere within greater London at any given time. There are some issues at times as there's no full-time security or attendant on property & maintenance person also visits just once every week, which is troublesome at times; but all thanks to property manager Mrs. Smriti Shah for dedicatedly working towards delivering best possible experience for the resident students.”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“Came here on a Saturday evening, it was super busy but they had us sat down speedily. The service was attentive, fast, and friendly. I would 100% recommend the calamari, up there with the best I’ve had! The jungle curry is supposedly spicy but it was not spicy at all, and if you’re Bengali, it tastes like a traditional Bengali chicken curry with less spice!”

“This is the second time that I have been to Kingston tenpin bowling in the last few months. I have to say this experience was 100% better than my last experience. I appreciated the level of respect I received and reassurance that this visit would be better. I have to say that the communication I had with the area manager gave me perspective and made me have better respect because he truly understood the meaning of customer service and customer loyalty. We also had food and I really would recommend the ultimate burger with the crispy fries. When you first look at it it looks like it's not going to taste very nice or have much flavour. But from the first bite to the last chip I enjoyed every single bite and I would definitely order it again.”

“We just had an amazing pizza night at Franco Manco Kingston Upon Thames branch. Pizzas were served super quickly, very tasty with plenty of filing. Nice relaxing atmosphere.”

“I stayed at short notice due to horrible plumbing issues at home meaning I couldn’t stay in my flat that night. I was feeling very upset and let down by the managing agent of the building I live in as they had not been very helpful. Then I was checked in by Irena. She was so kind, helpful and caring and really made me feel better and start to smile when all of wanted to do was cry or scream till then. The room was decent and the facilities were as expected.”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“I’ve been lucky enough to go to Eleana’s a few times now - and every time has been outstanding. Delicious dinners, beautiful brunches, cracking cocktails. Slow-cooked lamb; dripping with flavour. Perfectly poached eggs; oozing with yolk. Fabulous French Toast; exploding with flavour and texture. I highly recommend this restaurant for so many reasons. The decor is subtle and classy. The owners kind and attentive. The food tasty and from the heart. Give it a go if you’re in the area; you won’t be disappointed.”

“Fantastic food and great service. Been a couple of times now and I really rate the food here - it is quite high end for a local Indian restaurant. My only issue is the atmosphere is a bit too sterile - lighting is too bright and the decor is nice but a bit cold. 5 stars for food and service though. Will be back!”

“Had such an amazing meal here last night, such delicious fresh sushi and really friendly staff. Will definitely go back!”

“Orindi provided the catering for my 50th birthday and the food was wonderful, all the guests really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and tasty, delicious flavours and a nice selection of buffet items both savoury and sweet. Thank you!”

“Amazing tasting food, portion sizes are extremely good for the money, came here twice in two days whilst I had a trip up to Kingston, amazing place to eat”

“The most/only authentic Italian restaurant. The food was amazing. Lovely staff, ambience and service. Would highly recommend. Definitely the best pizza in Kingston.”

“A hidden gem. Cosy, friendly, spotlessly clean wonderful friendly staff. Coffee and food very good too.”
