HELVADERE - (Near Croydon, london)

Arun Chandrasekaran A colleague of mine took me this small and cozy Kurdish restaurant and told me not to underestimate the taste and the quality of the food by the look of it. He was right. I have had Greek cuisine, Lebanese cuisine, Persian cuisine, Iraqi cuisine and so on in various countries. But none of them comes close to this restaurant. This is the best middle Eastern restaurant outside of middle East without doubt. Their cuisines have an authentic taste to them. Their kabobs are juicy and very tasty. I love their thin breads with tasty curry. Try their lentil soup and Mashtaw which is made of butter milk, lemon juice and salt. The food is not expensive for the quality of the food. Must visit for any foodie!!

Nethmi Lavanya Absolutely delicious food. Its a great place to satisfy South Asian and South East Asian cravings. I especially enjoyed the chicken fried rice, chicken nasi gooren, and roti canai. Food comes fast, and tastes delicious. And the portion size is very generous. 10/10. 100% recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Juris Smagars We had such a fantastic time at Boxpark Croydon.. The atmosphere was buzzing from the moment we arrived – lively music, friendly crowds, and such a cool, urban vibe.. We went for paint and sip first, which was such a fun and relaxed experience. It was the perfect way to start the evening – creative, social, and lots of laughs. After that, we treated ourselves to an amazing Argentinian grill at Chimichurris. The food was absolutely incredible – perfectly cooked steak, full of flavour, and the chimichurri sauce was spot on. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Overall, it was such a fun, well-rounded night out – great food, great vibes, and plenty to do all in one place. Boxpark Croydon is definitely one of our favourite spots for a fun evening. Highly recommend..!

Baig Jibran (Jibster) Excellent food and even better service! We had Halal English breakfast along with pasta and it was delicious. Also, I highly recommend their Moroccan tea. Thank you so much and hope to see you guys again soon :)

tina Oren Absolutely fantastic experience at Mahala. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish.

The Indian Sweet Assassin We ordered varieties of Dosa,they tasted good. In starters,we tried Chilli Paneer - Perfect blend of spices,Paneer was soft and not chewy. Potato chips were perfect crisp not soggy. Mild spice noodles were perfect for kids. Arvind was serving us and he was kind and greeted us well. For desserts gajar halwa is must try. Along with gulab jamun ice cream.
