Top 30 Best Unique restaurant london in Orpington

“I had such a wonderful time going to the Orpington! I feel lucky we are locals to a place like this. The menu is a sophisticated take on classics. Everything is homemade and fresh, with an attention to detail in each dish. Music was great. Beer menu, excellent. I had a salt beef sandwich and it was perfect. We both wanted to order the whole menu and are looking forward to coming back. Scott also seems to care about his team, and that matters. To anyone saying it's a bit pricey: You get what you pay for, and that's never been more true than here. High quality, locally sourced ingredients with well thought-out menus, and a warm and personable experience.”

“Not been to the Atlas since before Covid shut us down. What a mistake on my behalf. Went there as a party of 8. They sat us in square enabling us to talk to one another. The food was outstanding with the Seafood mezze taking centre stage the prawns were fantastic. The mains also excellent. Cannot fault it, also as they do not sell alcohol you take your own which makes it a very reasonable night out. My advice is go and try it.”

“Discovered this restaurant on a friend’s recommendation and it was totally fantastic. Amazing Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes in and around Bromley/ Orpington area. They even gave a complimentary dish for being a first time visitor to the restaurant doing a take-away. The place looks empty but the kitchen was so busy with takeaway orders in these Corona times. Great tasting food as well. Really pleased with the food and have no hesitation recommending this place.”

“Nice little gem. Had brunch on a Saturday. Food was good and prices not too bad. Staff was lovely. Will have to come back for drinks at some point.”

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

“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!!!”

“Love this cafe, second times this rounds. Found a rice dish too. Love the environment, great services from staff always smile and polite. Definitely favourite cafe on this area”

“I recently hired Xenia for a private party and I can’t recommend it enough! The place is so beautiful and the staff are amazing. They helped with all aspects of my party planning and all my guests had a fantastic night!”

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

“This place is ideally located in nugent centre Orpington (St Mary Cray really) and is ideal for a quick stop from your shopping trip Place is not that busy I have been here now at different times and never I have seen it busy The staff are super friendly and if I was to suggest then please order your burgers and share the drinks and fries, we ordered once a large fries and between us two we couldn’t finish it so lesson learnt There is a vegetarian option too and the burgers are really nice Plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the meal there is place upstairs too I saw a lot of orders for take away as delivery drivers were in almost every minute so a very busy place The taste of the food is typical of a chain restaurant it tastes the same but for me it is the people and atmosphere and here you will find it and hence 5 stars from me Hope you all enjoy like we do here”

“Great service and very very quick. Food excellent. Just be aware that tables by windows are colder as servers go in and out to the outdoor pods. Lovely meal there!!”

“A little apprehensive after the reviews here, but my delivery on a Wednesday lunch came hot and piping in less than 20 minutes.”

“Amazing experience. Thanks Rana for the excellent service :)”

“Tried this place by accident as the place around the corner was not open as advertised. Delighted I did. It's a food van in the shopping centre car park. The queue for lunch was reassuringly long, and with good reason; the food was tasty and generously portioned. Curry goat was lovely, as well as the jerk chicken. It was served with jollof rice rather than rice and peas but that made a nice change. Really nice Owner too. If I'm in the area will be sure to pay him a visit again”

“Delicious Food. Easy to use website. Ordered on Saturday & the bell wasn’t working the restaurant called me 4 times to make sure we still wanted our delivery and even remade our food so it was hot. Going above & beyond customer service. It was on a busy Saturday. Highly recommended”

“The food quality at Xian continues to draw us back. It was good to see a full restaurant testifying to others' agreement. Service good except when trying to get the bill. Generally the foibles of our group were catered for cheerfully. A good muscadet complemented chicken in three different guises and sweet and sour pork. Duck as a starter. Three course would have been too much for us.”

“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.”

“My partner and 1 went here for the 1st time today. We had chicken shish, salad, rice , lamb kebab, plus calamari . Really nice, well cooked and a very good price too. We were served by a very polite young lady ( cant recall her name , but had a piercing) . Definitely going back there. Might even have a cocktail this time”

“Fantastic friendly Italian cafe. Try the aubergine or the homemade carrot cake. Great service from the guy running the food counter, but all the staff are lovely.”

“Cant fault them good cooked food always pleasent reasonably priced always go there Could not find a better place Albert”

“This place is a true gem! Pad thai is my favourite dish of all time and Joy Kitchen makes the best in Orpington. Lots of veggie options which is really appreciated. The decor is nothing special but the food is really what shines through here. Have eaten in and had takeaway and enjoyed thoroughly both times.”

“Fantastic restaurant, some of the best Turkish food I have ever eaten. Extremely friendly and efficient staff, great environment and outstanding food and drink. Highly recommended. One of the best.”

“A group of us had a wonderful Sunday lunch today at The Woodman. Alice was very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious. I recommend this lovely warm friendly pub.”

“Food was very good. Spicing right for the symbols on the menu. Portions were generous and mix of ingredients was up at the premium end - plenty of meat and prawns in the Singapore noodles for instance. Logistics were easy - call in with order, time to collect and it was ready then and well packed. All in all an excellent meal.”

“Someone recommended this pub to me so I thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent pub with a good selection of beers. Well worth a visit.”

“Fantastic dining experience, authentic Indian flavours with a twist. Service was second to none. Great wine list.”

“Lovely cafe serving decent hot food, nice variety on the menu and specials. Dog friendly, customer service is quick and easy polite staff. Cafe is in good location after a long walk for refreshments and food”

“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.”

“Great place for brunches. Lots of space, good quality food. Ability to order from table makes topping up easy. Staff are really helpful, already made a second trip!”
