The Best Restaurants in Banstead, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

We reached the table the same evening after we heard about the restaurant. Signs that we were clearly missing those burritos for a few years now. We ordered our favourite dishes and ate to our tummy’s delight. The nachos was spot on and the veg burrito, delectable. The chef was kind enough to adapt the wrap with Mushrooms and halloumi for our special diner too which was received very well. Not to mention the service of the lovely staff and the elegant restaurant ambience. Planning our next visit already.

Cosy, friendly, good food and great service, the staff always greet us as regulars, the menu, wine list and cocktails are great. Prices are ££ but a great selection and location for a nice meal or for a group meal. also to note: it is worth to book ahead in advance to secure a table as it does get quite busy. Enjoy! 😊

Absolutely amazing! Good portion sizes and even better food. Chef KK’s cooking was exceptional– I especially loved the vegetable burrito. So cheesy, so delicious. Vegetarian friendly, and lovely atmosphere. Service was also good! 10/10 recommend and would come here again ◡̈ especially loved the special flower! 🌹

Myself and my friend just left. This was our first visit and I felt compelled to write a review. What an amazing resturant! The staff are honestly so friendly our waiter Ejder couldn't have been happier or more helpful. Such a smiley face! We chose the tapas which was INCREDIBLE honestly the Chipotle prawns were to die for, I'd literally drink the sauce. The Chef done a fantastic job on all the dishes. I can't wait to come back.

What a gem of a place. Popped in unannounced and was greeted immediately by the staff and was given a table. Super service, team very friendly and actually take the time to talk to you dispute them being busy. I ordered the mixed grill and couldn’t finish it, it was huge and tasted amazing, in-fact the best I’ve ever tasted. This is a must to visit you won’t be dissapointed.

First time at this restaurant after reading reviews, They went above and beyond all my expectations! Such a calm environment, the staff are very efficient, responsive and attentive to customers. We booked a table for 5 and we were celebrating a colleagues birthday, they celebrated with us too! The food is out of this world! Very tasty dishes straight from the grill. The desserts were really good! I had sticky toffee pudding, the texture of it was very light and velvety and made fresh! I also tried other desserts which were just as good. You have gained a regular customer, will surely be back for more !! Our waitress was so bubbly its a shame i didn’t catch the name. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

This restaurant has become one of my favorites in the Epsom area. The food was delicious and came in generous portions. I couldn't even finish my main course, the chicken thigh shish, after starting with a lentil soup and their delicious warm bread. I also enjoyed a beautifully presented non-alcoholic cocktail. The prices were reasonable, and we paid the same amount for our meal as we did at a Japanese restaurant the day before, but here the portions were bigger. We also really liked the interior and the fact that the tables were spaced apart, giving us a more private dining experience. The table by the window where we were sitting was well separated from the others, which was especially important to us. Many restaurants these days have tables placed too close together, making it hard to enjoy a meal without overhearing other people's conversations. The waitstaff was also very friendly and attentive, adding to the great experience we had.

BEST CAFE IN BANSTEAD........EASILY. Great family run cafe by a beautiful family whose service is great, environment clean, food quality and portion is too good. I'm regular and when you go, you will see why and will be too! 😜

Absolutely spotless cafe. Food is amazing and such good value. All the staff are lovely and make me always feel welcome. Would 100% recommend.

The Turkish breakfast was so incredible ! Great value for money :) Really fabulous Saturday morning breakfast stop

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. Ordered the chai mushrooms for breakfast with was delight along side an oat milk latte which was delicious! A very friendly team especially our waitress Amelie who was superb! Very smiley and helpful. Thank you for a lovely Sunday morning

Cute cafe with coffee/tea and pastry as well as lunch items. We enjoyed the interesting decor. Dog friendly.

First time at Cafe Chai this morning for brunch. Love it all. Great outside seating. Great quality coffee and their signature brunch offering was A+ . Inside also looks lovely. Great vibe and very friedly

It’s always a great experience at Chai, the coffee is great, and food is always fresh and delicious! I got the chicken wrap which was great. The selection of cakes is incredible, they are not too sweet and are freshly made everyday. The decor is incredible and it’s very comfortable and cozy to sit here. In summers it’s very nice to sit outside.

Excellent Resturant. The service, atmosphere and food were fantastic. It’s the best Turkish restaurant around so highly recommended. The staff are very nice and we mentioned our daughter had an allergy to sesame seeds and they made the efforts to give us a different kind of bread.

Lovely lunch at this Turkish restaurant. We chose from the 3 course lunch menu. The food was presented on the plates beautifully & tasted superb. The service was first class. Will definitely be back.

Not sure how I missed this place all this while, but glad we finally discovered it. Thanks to my son!! Every single dish was very fresh and great to taste. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere adding to the charm. The bread, hummus & falafels were homemade and absolutely delicious!! Loved the veg moussaka, the bulgur in the side was the best ever that Ive had till date. The Turkish coffee was totally enjoyable too. Never had such clean plates in a long time post meal. Love the place, will be a regular for sure.

Really lovely restaurant with a great value lunch menu. Our food was tasty and the staff extremely efficient and friendly. We hope to return soon for an evening meal to try more dishes.

First time visiting. A lovely warm welcome. The food and service were excellent in my opinion. A lovely place to visit. Will come back again soon.

Before I moved to epsom this was my local. I came here for a meal today and the service and staff were lovely. Beautiful food and warm cosy atmosphere. We are coming here again in January. You can’t beat the quality of the food here and the service. Thank you. Update - the grumpy mole did a fantastic job with my Nans wake yesterday the staff went above and beyond and the whole experience was very lovely. Thank you so much to all the team at grumpy mole. We really appreciate it. We also came here for my partners birthday. He had the steak on the stone and what a fantastic experience. The food here is top quality and the staff are so lovely. They go above and beyond here.

My first visit to the pub. We were there for a wedding reception. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and did a fantastic job. The food was delicious! I can't say more.... Other than try it for yourself. I'll be back to eat again.

Attended a Platinum Wedding Anniversary meal here for sixteen people. Good choices on the menu and truthfully one of the best meals l have ever had. Service, presentation & quality of food excellent. A lovely building and atmosphere, highly recommended.

Excellent food and outstanding service! Dan consistently goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

Great place. Friendly service and nice food. Good menu with a good vegetarian choice. Obviously doing something right as pretty much full on Thursday evening.

Staff were friendly...food was amazing! There were 6 of us, so we had quite a variety and tried the chicken sandwich, which was delicious. We had the mushroom melted burger and cheesy fries. The wings, the spicy gourmet club burger, the lockdown. All tasted juicy and fresh. Excellent value for money.

Really good food. Burgers were great..wings were a bit too saucy.. sticky toffee was great. Staff were attentive. Would visit again. Everything's halal too

This is my second visit to Gourmet Burger Club and I continue to be impressed. I especially loved the halloumi fries which are apart of their Christmas specials. The restaurant is cozy and staff is lovely. Thank you Leila and Mustafa x

Had Saturday lunch here (lockdown burger 2.0 and cheesy chips), and the food and service were great. The place has been decorated for Christmas too and it’s really nice. It is a bit expensive, and they don’t service alcohol, but those are the only negatives and I’ll go back with the family soon.

I've been eating here for years, never had a bad meal, their sandwiches are legendary and properly filled! Good coffee and great milkshakes too, if you are in the area either eat in or grab a takeaway!

Visited today with my wife after a hospital trip. Fancied a deli visit and this place is very popular from the looks of the volume of people coming out! Gave it a shot and had a jacket potato with beans, cheese and bacon (never seen this before), which was lovely and my wife had an Escalope Classique which she thought was great too and an unsurprising Italian twist. Looks like a diner, but don’t let that affect your impression, the food is excellent quality. Would certainly visit again if around this area again

We've just moved here and we regularly come here for food with the kids. And I love how friendly they are. Nothing is too much and the prices are old school prices! Not £12 + for a breakfast like every place now, they charge a fiver instead. Amazing!! This is why everyone loves them. Keep it up. ♡

Amazing little place me and my climbing buddy found . Service fantastic and straight away.Food was Amazing I actually was shocked that I couldn't complain of how slooppy i expected it to be Haha . They Should though expand on more room as they have only 2 seaters ! Nevertheless Fantastic Experience !

We enjoyed an excellent Christmas Lunch. It was the first time we had ever dined out in place of cooking. The service was attentive and friendly. The Galu Restaurant enjoys a good reputation and loyal clientele for a good reason- outstanding food and ambience. It's a high class venue . The garlic and chilli king prawns were delicious. The kleftiko the most delicious I have ever tasted. My family became somewhat full after 2 courses. I tried some of their sea bass and roast turkey- all excellent. The date and toffee pudding was light and fluffy , exquisite flavours. A 10/10.

Excellent service, a warm welcome and great hosts. Food was very good and piping hot. Very lively atmosphere the music was possibly a bit too loud in the restaurant itself as it made conversation quite difficult. Perhaps I'm getting old! Definitely worth a visit and hopefully we will be there again soon.

Had a lovely meal, with excellent service, here on a Saturday night. It was almost empty at 6pm when we got there but it was packed when we left about 730pm. The service is very good and the food (sea bass and pork belly) was delicious. One thing I would say is that as the evening carries on the restaurant does start to have a ‘bar’ feel to it, both the loud noise and the young over-dressed clientele. I’m only in my mid forties so maybe I’m just getting old!

The food here is absolutely amazing, as always! I’ve never had a bad meal, and every visit leaves me more impressed. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!
