Navaratna South Indian Restaurant, Croydon - (Near Croydon, South East)

Shivani Shah Totally returning again! Super friendly and attentive service, awesome vibe. Loved the belly dancer (Saturday night, 8pm), food was super fresh and hot (all the way up until the end of the meal, which is rare). Decent shisha. Cant wait to return!

Jasmine Drakes Beautiful food, quick service and lovely interior. A hidden gem it seems inside Wing Yip - we went for the spicy beef stir fry, chicken curry and egg & garlic fried rice to share. The beef and chicken were so tender, flavours were amazing. To start we had pork and prawn Vietnamese spring rolls and satay chicken skewers Highly recommend and we will be back!

Georgia Hetherington I first came in here in 2018 when it was Viet 2 Go. In 2023 it was renamed Banh Mi Vietnam, but owned and run by different members of the same family who have done the place proud, I loved it today as much as I always did before ☺️ there is a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, the restaurant is clean and tidy, the food is fresh, hot, delicious and served up quickly. We had tofu pho in veggie broth, and vegetarian spring roll noodle salad with a pot of green tea. Plenty of flavour and fresh ingredients at very good prices. I dont come to Croydon often but will definitely return next time Im town.

Early Attoh I had genuinely excellent service from Pati today. She was attentive and present throughout, and what stood out most was her initiative — she proactively noticed a delay with my meal and addressed it without me needing to ask. I tried the new Cranberry Katsu, and Pati checked in at the right moment, asked for thoughtful feedback, and made sure it was passed on to the kitchen. She struck the perfect balance between being available and unobtrusive. This was one of those experiences where the service clearly elevated the meal. Pati is a real asset to the team. 5/5 service, no notes.

tina Oren Absolutely fantastic experience at Mahala. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell care and quality go into every dish. The atmosphere was lovely and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Leah Cerexhe recently visited Bella Italia and had a wonderful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Fabiana, was incredibly attentive and made excellent recommendations from the menu. I decided to try the carbonara, and it was absolutely delicious – creamy, rich, and perfectly cooked. The service was prompt and friendly, and Fabiana checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I cant wait to return. I highly recommend Bella Italia, and be sure to ask for Fabiana; she truly enhanced our dining experience!
