The Best Restaurants in Croydon, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Overall a nice looking restaurant. A good menu option. I choose the lamb Raghu, and I thought it was too much sauce for the quantity of pasta, as well lacking a bit of pepper. My husband got the vongole spaghetti that was very good portion. We thought it was a bit pricey compared to other italian local restaurants that we go in Central London.

I was at Bagatti’s for a business lunch for about 70 people so we pretty took over the place and had a special priced menu. The food was delicious and generous portions all round. We had a shared platters to start. For main I had the branzino (sea bass) which was very fresh (I’m very fussy). The staff did an amazing job in getting all the orders in and in front of each diner without error hot out of the kitchen. No delays in starting whilst others waiting for food. Extremely impressive performance from kitchen. I don’t live anywhere remotely near but if I did I would most definitely be back. Highly recommended. A local favourite for good reason. Long may it thrive.

This place is always busy - and for good reason! The food is excellent - all your Italian favourites and more with their vast menu! The service - attentive and always friendly. The atmosphere- buzzy and fun. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, it’ll always be a firm favourite. Excellent for birthdays too!

My dine out with friend’s at Bagatti’s last night was an amazing experience. The Prosecco went down one bottle after the other and so did the food. The Med prawns starter that I ordered was perfect to taste and I later ordered the grilled sea bass with veggies and the only thing left on the plate was the prawn shells as the dish was totally enjoyable. Couldn’t stop with just savoury, so next comes the Chocolate fondant with ice-cream dessert. Delectable and delicate wrapping of the meal. My first visit, but surely not my last. Busy with diners, but the staff lit the place with their friendly smile and served with efficiency. Well done and Thank you, Bagattis. See you soon.

The food was fine, the best part were the starters and the dessert I ordered beef, it was a little bit chewy, my spouse ordered a meat buffet it was fine as well. We don't have any negative comments therefore we would go back again but try something different from their menu as well. The environment was quiet, not sure if its because it was during the week.

We came here for my mothers 60th birthday and the service and food was both amazing. We had Cristina as our waitress and she was fantastic I can’t praise her enough. They even brought out a little cheesecake with happy birthday written on it which was really lovely of them. I will definitely be coming back here again. The mock tails was amazing I had the one with raspberry and pomegranate it was amazing. My siblings had lychee one which was nice but I don’t like lychee much. The food portion was good. I ordered the monk fish which was great. My sister ordered the crispy prawn with kimchi rice and omg that was amazing. I would definitely get that next time I go. There was 7 of us and the bill came for £290 including three mock tails and water. Thanks again Yumn for making the experience memorable and thank you Cristina for your lovely service.

Went for dinner on a Friday and the welcome was really warm and friendly. Although there was a big group, it wasn't too loud and the music was pleasant in the background. We ordered the 2-4-1 Guava breeze, Ackee saltfish rolls, pepper roti and a jerk platter to share. There was a lot of food and everything was really tasty. The meat was nicely cooked and the slaw was refreshing (not salty or sickly sweet). I also enjoyed tasting all the sauces on the table. Will definitely come back and try more food.

I visited Turtle Bay Croydon on a chilly day, hoping for a warm cup of coffee to accompany my meal. Unfortunately, the coffee machine wasn't working, and they informed me that there were no hot drinks available at all, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, the music was quite loud, making it a bit difficult to have a conversation. However, the highlight of my visit was the **goat curry hash**. It was absolutely delicious and warming, perfect for a cold day. The flavors were rich and the dish was very satisfying. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but I would have loved to have a hot coffee to complete the experience.

Loved it here. Great vibes really really good drinks and staff so kind. Our server Henry was great, good laugh and made sure we enjoyed everything. Deffo coming again

Lovely restaurant serving Turkish and Middle Eastern food items. The place has a nice vibe and is minimally decorated. The staff are attentive and the food service was quick.

The food served at Atesh is not really great but consistently good. The prices look a bit high at first but the portions are quite big and we always leave with a takeaway box. It can get quite busy on weekends and sometimes too loud, but the service is still alright. The meat is well cooked and everything is well seasoned. I recommend the lamb chops, they're really tasty. Atesh also seems to be quite a good place to celebrate birthdays. As they seem to happen often, the staff members look like they're used to these celebrations and are well organised.

Such a wonderful place on single roof with more than 35 different cuisine and a bar.. Just behind the East Croydon station 2min walking distance. You can access entry/exit from both side, Front and Back. The place from outside doesn't found a bigger but from visiting inside it's a such a big and nice place to hangout. Delicious foods (asian, south east, Thai, Chinese, and other continents) just order it from your seat and collect it. And they do have there own web for ordering foods online. For Drinks just order it from your seat by scanning code and they will serve you on your table. You can also have music and disco/party nights as per their local events arrangements. Just go for it...happy foodies

It's certainly different! Food from around the world with tables set out down the centre of the place. A bar at the far end and a dj near the front with a big screen. I went on bank holiday Monday and there was a quiz night with lots of prizes including food from some of the places. I had mixed grill with fries from the Afghanistan bit and it came on a flat piece of wood and the steak was succulent and juicy. Would definitely go again.

I really enjoy coming here, I like the atmosphere when there is an event and is calm. Live band this Saturday, great band playing very interactive with the public. There was also football on before the band and its was full at this point bur and enjoyable atmosphere. There are various food places that are affordable and there is security all round. The cleaners are fantastic and polite keeping everything on point for us all to visit. There is male and female 🚻 toilets to use, generally speaking clean and there is also a bar that turns into club after certain time. Look for events on specific days. There poetry, R&B vibes, karaoke or special dj... Children and exercise events. Concerts. Look out for events and you sure to plan an enjoyable fun day.

I recently had a chance to visit with my family for the Onam celebration meal (Sadhya). We had outstanding service not only from the owner but every staff member. The meal was unlimited, served with warmth and a smile. No holding back on the quality of ingredients. I'm looking forward to my next trip and trying their other items on the menu.

We visited all the way from outside London to visit Taste of India. Great customer service - all staff speaks Malayalam and English . Very clean and great ambience . Food is all prepared fresh, hot and really yummy. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing meal from Real Taste of India! The Chicken Kizhi Parotta was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the Jallikattu Mandhi was rich and aromatic, and the Chicken Kothu was a delightful blend of spices. The food quality was outstanding, and it arrived fresh and hot. The overall service was excellent, and the value for money was great. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine!

Great flavoursome food. Friendly and helpful staff. Make sure you're hungry, the portions are large!

We were grateful that we could get a table at the last minute (week before)for a Christmas day lunch at the restaurant. The roast dinner was lovely. The staff were attentive, and the food was presented beautifully and tasted great. The atmosphere was very friendly and festive. What more could you ask!

Been coming here years and it’s one of my favourite restaurants, it’s a cool place with delicious food. I do wish there was a little more variety on the menu but what they do make is delicious. It’s always clean and the staff are friendly.

One of the best restaurants I have been so far: friendly and attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere with great mellow song choice, but most of all Delicious home made food which proves to find difficult these days. We had lamb shanks where meat was so soft and falling off the bone yum yum! Thank you Boulevard

Been here a lot of times and it never disappoints. My steak was perfectly cooked to my liking medium rare.

Have lived in Croydon for over 14yrs, always telling myself to come here, so glad I finally did! Very much a family run restaurant (it feels) so you're warmly welcomed. Menu is huge, some great tapas and house specials to choose from (particularly recommend the mushrooms stuffed with spinach and garlic). Wine selection was good too. We didn't know our Spanish wines very well so the team there can help you choose. By 7.30pm the restaurant was easily 60-70% full and the buzz makes it a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I went to dinner yesterday with a friend and her children, the service was very good and the food too, but the only thing was that they didn't have a children's menu,Otherwise everything was very good.

A lovely place visited for the works Christmas dinner. A good selection of both festive and non festive menus available. A number of the group decided on steak which appeared well cooked and of a large quantity. I opted for traditional roast turkey which came with all the expected trimmings. Pudding were large and flavoursome and staff were polite, attentive and friendly. The restaurant is large in size and can cater for larger groups. Overall a very enjoyable experience

We had lunch on Sunday. The service was good. Once we sit down, we were asked if we would like to have bread and olives. Both of them were nice. We ordered some tapas and Spanish Sangria. The food was not bad. But the sangria was lacking wine so it was not the best.

I read a review that the prices had gone up but that isn't true. We had 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 4 x 250ml glasses of wine for £115 including tip which is standard price for Croydon. Also got 2 free digestives on the house at the end which was nice. I would definitely go back.

No longer Aqua. Noto Italian restaurant and café. My mixed grill was very good and I was full. Wife had seabass and said it was tasty. They are going to have jazz and r n b lunchtimes in the near future so give it a try and a follow.

Lovely evening out with friends, although the food was not as expected and some of it tasted quite bland. The Calamari did not even taste like sea food. The potatoes served with the lamb and pork tasted as though they had been refrigerated or prepared prior and heated up. We all know that taste when the roasties are not fresh and at their optimum.

We had a really enjoyable evening here with tasty cuisine, a good selection of drinks and a very friendly service. The waiters/waitresses were very attentive and welcoming and we weren’t rushed in any way. We spent a good few hours here and when it was time to go the staff even came us some free limoncello shots on our departure. Would definitely return!
