Unique food experience in Coulsdon

“This was my first order from Coulsdon Spice in the endless quest for a decent local curry, and I'm glad I took the chance! The service was courteous, delivery was prompt so the food arrived hot, they went out of their way to replace a dish they couldn't provide (due to high demand) and the food itself was good value and delicious! I'm very glad I tried them and will be ordering from them again. My first takeaway curry in about three years that wasn't disappointing! Thanks!”

“This place has such good pizza and milkshakes you should definitely come here”

“Great customer service, friendly staff, lovely food , nice drinks, been here a couple times and would go here again. Nice atmosphere , quite small , can get busy. Highly recommended.”

“Best Indian food in the area in my opinion. Ordered and delivered within the hour, but more so hot! Enjoyed throughly and will be using again.”

“Attentive yet unobtrusive service. Great choice of dishes. Happy with the seared salmon and Florentine fishcakes. Side salad and especially chips portion very small but tasty.”

“All the food was really good and the service was very friendly. The atmosphere was also really nice. The flowers on the tables were real instead of dusty plastic ones like I usually see in pubs. My partner really likes fried squid but had struggled to find a place that really nails it: crispy but not overcooked and not rubbery. This place had the perfect fried squid. We loved everything else we got as well: fried brie (pictured), chicken Caesar salad, sticky chicken, chips, and scallops.”

“Interesting polarisation of past reviews but I have to take as I find. I was only looking for advice and was upfront about the reason when I popped by. The shop manager was extremely helpful and spent a good 20-25 minutes taking me through all the complications of raw dog food. As a new owner I had some pretty dumb questions but I didnt get the sense at anytime that I had outstayed my welcome. The Owner clearly had a depth of experience (with dogs at least) and was happy to guide me. I would be surprised if you get that level of service in Pets at Home etc but it is a relatively small shop, heavily stocked so if room to push your shopping trolley is a priority, its possibly not the shop for you?”

“A hidden Gem! Tucked away in a side road (Victoria Road) just off the main Brighton Road in Coulsdon is this small family run pizza restaurant. On the Wednesday night that we were there it was just Father cooking and Son serving the table. Probably the best Pizza I have ever had!! Well worth a visit! 5 stars well deserved!!”

“Probably the best chicken gyros I've ever had! Mixed grill was really nice too. Service was brilliant. Cannot wait to go back in 2023”

“First visit today and will definetly be back. Really really good coffee, lovely selection of toasties and cakes. Great service and very reasonably priced can’t wait to come back and try more things”

“Very friendly owner, Mike was extremely friendly and nice and told us to go in and have a drink and pizzas . The pizzas were AMAZING ! Really superb pizzas. Friendly atmosphere and beautiful decor . Very nice place to hang out for the villagers”

“Eddie and his wife Evvie (?) were the perfect hosts. Two of our group were gluten free and we rang ahead and discussed our food options with Eddie ahead if time. We were super confident that there was no cross contamination and they took our dietary requirements seriously. That aside , the food was amazing! Fresh, flavourful and just so tasty. I was a tad sceptical about this place in comparison to a London restaurant but I have to honestly say it may well have been better in flavour, service mist definitely was friendly and personable. Very much coming back!!! Thank you !!”

“High quality delicious food, top quality fresh ingredients, high standard of food/drinks and service by food professionals, grocery store / deli counter fantastic, all from Italy. Prices very affordable and good value. Good atmosphere, attracts really nice local people. Also has an alcohol licence, drinks to drink in or take away, good cafe, really nice. Highly recommended.”

“Lo Zafferano hosts the best and flavoursome authentic Italian cuisine. The menu is well varied and suitable for vegetarians too. Portion sizes are very generous and aesthetically pleasing to the eye and tastebuds. The deserts and cocktail menu is also mouthwatering! The service is always very warming and inviting- always feeling welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere is very soothing and relaxing with perfect lighting and music. I regularly frequent Lo Zafferano and will continue to do so!!!”

“A lovely independent cafe with good coffee and food, and free WiFi. I just spent nearly 5 hours hanging out here while my car was being serviced/MoT'd across the road. This is something I have done on two previous occasions over the last 3 years. Each time I have enjoyed the food, drink, service and atmosphere here. On this occasion I had two perfectly poached eggs and two very tasty sausages on toast with good, strong, tasty coffee for my breakfast. I was able to hang out, having the occasional drink, working on my laptop with their fast, and free, wi-fi. I saw plenty of places to plug in and recharge if needed too. I ended up having lunch here as well, soup of the day, which was spicy lentil, absolutely delicious, and perfect for a cold, wet, winter's day. The fact that this lovely independent cafe is here, will be a key factor in choosing the next place I go for work on the car, and although I don't live especially close I will definitely pop in if in the area.”

“Popped in for a drink and then decided to have lunch..glad we did. The carrot and orange soup was delicious, as was the pork & leek sausages. Nice ambiance. Very good service.”

“Massive portion sizes for the money, and delicious - strongly recommended!”

“Very tasty dishes that had been expertly spiced, seasoned and balanced The laksa had depth and deliciousness to make your mouth water Had been recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint Our food was as enjoyed and would most definitely use them again when looking to satisfy my hankering for south east asian foods”

“Very good burgers , massive portions. Arrived quickly. And still hot.”

“I ordered from the new management food was very delicious I tried the special fried rice noodles biryani and peshwari naan love the new Indian chef”
