Traditional warm atmospheres in Orpington

“We have been going to the crispy cod regularly as a family. Great atmosphere, very clean and reasonably priced. Great choices on the menu, something for everyone. My children love the milkshakes and fried halloumi. It’s a family run business that take pride in what they do, I can’t recommend anymore”

“Food is delicious and portion size is good. Ordered Mushroom chow mein, mixed veg fried rice, schezwan chicken and salt and pepper chicken. Much better( price wise as well as taste wise) than the competitors in high street…wish they had dine-in options as well!”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“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.”

“Family run Sushi restaurant which is the best, freshest sushi you will ever try. It is very popular so you have to get your orders early. I've been coming here for many years and the food is always 5 Star. Great quality and lovely people.”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing little cafe. Beautifully decorated, super lovely staff and the best cake I've eaten in a very long time. Nothing was too much trouble, and there happened to be live music on, which was great. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the place.”

“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!”

“Looks descieve from outside. Very cute and comforting inside. Decor is nice and elegant. Food is great and drinks are tasty too. Service is top notch! Fish quantity is top notch and desserts are to die for. Will defo be coming back more often.”

“Now listen, I’ve been to a lot of cafe’s in my time, specifically in the south east London area, and is this the best? Of course not, that’d be Sal’s Cafe in foots cray, but was it very nice with lovely and quick service, yes absolutely. In conclusion, I take myself very seriously when it comes to reviewing cafe’s and I’ve become infamous for my world renowned 1- Sal’s cafe rating system, and in the case of Ozzie’s Diner, they’re going to be taking away an 8, which is no doubt respectable. Thank you for reading, you’re welcome.”

“Absolutely lovely food,my recommendations is the chicken kebab and the kofte kebab. Will most definitely go back when in the area.”

“Best fish and chips in the area. Always popular, so good turnover of food, hence always fresh. Friendly staff. If ordering scampi or similar give heads up as cooked to order so can take longer”

“Lovely ambiance, super friendly staff/owner and scrumptious food... highly recommended.”

“A lovely clean bright family run restaurant,no paper napkins or table cloths here. Nice clean linen cover the tables with a bottle of spring water. The temptation to cut back over 30 years has been resisted. There's a comprehensive reasonable priced menu with unusual dishes I've never seen before. This make a refreshing change as other restaurants have cut back,simplified and restricted choice. The service was good with a complimentary drink offered. The food was good, meat portions on the small side but sufficient enough to fill me up Go your be splendidly surprised.”

“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.”

“Lovely and attentive team, incredible food and great atmosphere! We will definitely be visiting again, great attention to detail with all their dishes and a good number of vegetarian options at reasonable prices. Thanks for a great meal!”

“Had dinner here on New Years Eve, was a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Love this restaurant!”

“Very friendly pub with Harvey's on tap and good value tasty food. Worth going out of your way from Orpington High Street to find on Broomhill Common.”

“Very good indian food. Great value. Excellent service. Our go to place when visiting friends who live in the area. Highly recommended.”

“Great food, great live music - definitely a place to visit for the weekend”

“Still the best hot and sour soup in Orpington, and probably Kent!”

“This has been our go to for the last 3 years. Really gutted to be moving and not being able to continue having the perfectly made food. Parkside is the only restaurant which delivers food piping hot to your door! Every other restaurant fails to do in our deliver area. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“Food was good and obviously freshly prepared whilst you wait. The staff are lovely and the restaurant is spotlessly clean.”

“We just moved to the area and this was our first indian order! We expected to try at least a few places as it is difficult to find a proper tasty Indian, but this was just perfect! The food was hot and delicious, it was made extra spicy as we requested. You definitely got yourself a new regular customer because we are not going anywhere else!”

“Such a great dining experience. The staff were all amazing, helpful and friendly, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The cocktails were great and the pudding was so tasty. Our son loved the crayons and the games and puzzles on the back of his menu. We were already planning our return before we'd even finished our meal. Loved the app and all the offers on it. We'll definitely be back.”

“Popped here her today, pub was great and food portions were really good. We had young children and good selection on the menu for them plus a great play area in the garden when dinner was finished. All reasonably priced and landlord was so accommodating. Will definitely be back again!”

“Lovely place run by the college and the students great food and amazing service and all very affordable, would recommend to everyone”

“Nice evening with the wife and friends. Friendly staff helped us to pick out a lovely bottle of Merlot. Our friends joined us on a nice corner table and we had a very pleasant evening. Everyone in the pub was enjoying themselves, but no bad behaviour. A pub I would recommend for a night out and a nice bottle of red. Can't comment on the food but certainly a good choice available on the menu.”

“Jenny who served us was exceptional as was the food. Very busy but we still felt special and didn't feel ever that anyone was trying to rush us out. Thank you. Personally I would like to have chopsticks as a default but as everyone there appeared to be very happy with forks and spoons I'm clearly in a minority!”

“Great pub. Good selection of drinks that are reasonably priced & great venue; lots of space. Pool tables, darts, it's got the lot!”
