I can't even put into words how good this place really is !…read more We've driven past it many times, as we live jsut around the corner and have never paid much attention to it ... possibly put off by the bright pink exterior ! However, after eating many times at Regional Thai in Cheam which is by far the best Thai restaurant I've ever eaten in, outside of Thailand - we found out that Max's Thai Cooking is owned by the very same 2 ladies who founded and own Regional Thai in Cheam. So, we booked a table there for Valentine's Day and were blown away as soon as we walked through the door. It's a REAL hidden gem of a place. The interior is lovely, really well done and you totally forget that you're in Wallington whilst in there. The food is ridiculously good and really reasonably priced ... couldn't believe that a meal for 2 with a bottle of cava was so reasonable. For anyone looking for a good Thai restaurant in Croydon or Sutton ... you've jsut found your place ! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks, Andy P.

The menu is not extensive, but is varied. The food is fresh and beautifully prepared and presented. I am usually prepared for mediocre food in chain hotel restaurants, but the Larder has not failed to exceed expectations on every visit. The service is good but not too intrusive, and although, being a hotel, there are often large business parties, the attention you receive from staff is personal and warm. The fish dishes are particularly delicious and one marker of the restaurant is that I've never had a dessert, which means that the portions are generous. I know that hotels are not always first choices for a meal out, but I can't recommend the food and the staff at the Larder in the Hilton at Croydon highly enough.

A wide variety of eateries are held within the Boxpark. As long as you have some money in your…read morepocket or some plastic as many places seem to be going cash free. The eateries range from Thai, Italian, Caribbean, deserts, meat, veggie. The vibe is always relaxed and they do a variety of different events. From live sports, tribute bands, concerts, New Years eves parties, fitness classes (on mass), Champions League Finals, Crystal Palace Footballers in the house, Love Island shows too name but a few. The environment is always clean and there are never (I've never seen one) any drunks knocking about the place. You can work from there in an afternoon and work into the early evening meet colleagues and have something to eat and drink and reminisce. The other great thing is it's right next to East Croydon train station easy access to teams and taxi ranks, what more could you need!!

Before Boxpark opened, the best thing Croydon had going on for itself was probably the East Croydon…read morestation... to which Boxpark is now literally adjacent. (You can walk in just seconds after tapping out at a ticket barrier.) I don't think Croydon will become the Shoreditch of zone 5 anytime soon, but it seems like Boxpark will definitely spice up the local food scene. If you're a fan of food trucks, you'll love the concept here. But instead of kitchens on wheels, imagine actual storefronts serving up street food. The hardest part of your meal will be deciding what to eat because more than 30 eateries call Boxpark home. (Some restaurants also have street entrances.) Boxpark is made up of repurposed shipping containers -- this gives it a cool industrial vibe, but it isn't an obnoxious hipster atmosphere that would alienate anyone. But if you're eating in, note that it can get a little loud. I'd recommend the chicken schwarma wrap with lightly spiced fries from Lazeez (this meal was the only thing I could stomach during my jet lag-induced nausea) and the fried chicken bao from Bao Bao. However, expect food truck prices (read: high prices that don't justify the amount of food you get) but that might just be something that comes with the territory in London.

Amazing food! I love Indo-Chinese food and a family member recommended this restaurant for lunch…read more The staff is extremely friendly and the place has a great ambience.

Great lunch time experience!

TL;DR Delicious, and very accomodating!…read more I went for my work's Christmas do. Food was from a set menu and waiters gave us several carafes of water, which were constantly refilled. There were also jugs of coke and lemonade which they would walk around and pour for us. All this was free, but we had to pay for alcohol. A few tried to set individual tabs for themselves However, there were roughly 20 of us and 8 individuals wanting individual tabs. That would have been a headache for the staff, so we all ended up paying for each drink of our own as we ordered it (Seemed fair to me). Heads up if you don't drink: They do a big enough range of mocktails for them to be listed on a page! They sounded good and I want to try one next time. We only had a set menu but it was all delicious (And even the stuff I personally wasn't keen on was good quality)! There was a good range of vegetarian and meaty stuff and it was all surprisingly filling. Also, I got to try some new stuff. One of the colleagues I sat next to is pregnant. She gave the food a good go, but a lot of it was too spicy for her although she said how lovely it all was. The waiter asked if she wanted some milk or yoghurt, and brought out poppadoms and mixed-veg bhajis for her ( as well as a big bowl of yoghurt) and gave her ice cream instead of the dessert we were given. She even asked for his name and a business card so she could recommend the place to her friends and family. The service was very attentive and kind. I had a Kingfisher (£3-4)and a margarita (£7). Good value for booze, I think. All in all, I'd happily suggest this place for a group do! Here's the set menu we had (In no real order and possibly excluding stuff I forgot about): Starter: Poppdoms with mango chutney; soy sauce with garlic and ginger; minty yoghurty stuff and a spicy thing. Chicken tikka (Possibly my favourite thing) Strips of some chunky fibrous vegetable in a mildly spicy coating (I believe it was potato) Firm paneer (A bit like tofu) in a sticky sweet coating with peppers Little poppadoms with chickpeas, tiny sprinkles of what looked like noodles and yoghurt and minty-yoghurty stuff and sweet sauce of some kind. They were an odd mixture of sweet and spicy. I found those a challenge to my tastebuds but they were well-made and well-presented Lamb rolls Plain naan White rice Coronas and Buds that came from nowhere (I discovered I'm not keen on Bud!) Veg manchuria A chicken curry A curry in a spicy green sauce Limoncello shots with a lime in (Which I thought were tequila shots) n An Asian dessert with a thin, sweet yellow custard and little balls that had the texture of soggy sponge but might have been paneer. I personally didn't like that but it was something new Oh, and the interior is very pretty! Be aware that it can get quite noisy, however.

I've only ever been on a Sunday morning for Dim Sum so I can't speak for their a la carte menu, but it's definitely worth a trip if you're ever in the area! You get your usual bao and shu-mai here, but they are awesome! The shu-mai have chunks of prawn in them and not just generic minced stuff. I definitely must recommend you try the Vietnamese Spring Roll - this is by far my most favourite dish. They always come out steaming hot so if you're not careful you'll burn your mouth when you bite into it. It's also packed full of meaty goodness and it's dense that it's hard to hold them in your chopsticks for too long. The staff are very quick and efficient and I've never had an order wrong here. Slightly off track, but their crockery stacking skills never cease to amaze me. On a previous visit, the waitress cleared a table of 6 in one go and carried mostly everything on one arm!

Our friends had arrived just before us and spotted Indian Oasis, which is just across the road from the theatre, so ideally placed. Even better, after 6.30 it was fine to park outside too. The attentive staff greeted us and we joined our friends at a table near the window, quickly offered poppadoms and menus as they knew we were short on time. The main dishes were swiftly brought to the table - my Murgh Makhani was splendid. Lightly spiced, succulent chicken, fragrant rice, it was a lovely dish. The other dishes also looked very tasty, disappearing off the plates in no time at all. When the bill came, it was less than £15 per person, so good value for money as well. As there's no alcohol available, if you want a beer, you'll need to bring your own. A very good local curry house.
