The Place - (Near Sutton, South East)

Mina T. Located on the first floor of the Times Square shopping centre (above H&M), this place offers a vegetarian Sri Lankan-inspired menu in a relaxed and casual setting. I liked how bright and airy the space was, which makes it great for a laid-back meal or a place to catch up with friends. If seated by the windows, you can enjoy some people-watching over the high street below. The thosai meal (available only on weekends) was flavoursome and tasty, although the portion size of the curry was a little on the smaller size. The mini mango cinnabun had great flavour but was unfortunately stale. Staff were pleasant and mostly attentive. Note theres a 12.5% service charge.

M ILY Hidden Jem... BEST Halva Puri and proper Karak chai in Sutton. This place is special, Ive been walking past it for years thinking its a loaded potatoes place as its called "Fillings", then however I saw a poster of Halva Puri on the window and went in, they have the most amazing Halva Puri breakfast offer on at the moment, TWO Halva Puri breakfasts for the price of one(£7.50 at the time of this review)!!! The fried puris are fresh, you get small portions channa, potatoe/aubergine and halva, just enough for the two puris, very authentic and tasty. Order a karak chai with that and you have a complete tasty breakfast. 2 people can have breakfast with tea for around £12.50!! They also make very tasty samosa and aloo tikki chaats, their biryanis also look great... and all that with a FIVE STAR HYGIENE RATING!! Go before others discover this hidden gem and it becomes too busy!!!

Jeremiah Smith I spent a couple weeks near London and spent every other night at this pub. Great food, reasonably priced drinks, and the people were super nice. Jack behind the bar was great too. Even had live bands in Friday’s and Saturdays.

Arif Khan Hidden gem of a Korean restaurant. Food was delicious and it is a nice, quiet place to eat. Lacked some atmosphere, maybe adding some background music would help, but everything else was good. We enjoyed the Korean fried chicken and beef bulgogi. Check it out if you are ever in Sutton.

Alan Hunsdale ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Old Bank is an absolutely fantastic pub and hands down our favourite local. Gail the landlord is great fun and always makes everyone feel welcome – you can tell she genuinely cares about the place and the people in it. The food is consistently spot on, and Emma is without a doubt the best barmaid around – friendly, quick, and always up for a laugh. It’s always a great night in there, whether you’re popping in for a quiet pint or settling in for a proper session. The atmosphere is brilliant and there’s always good banter. We can’t wait for the World Cup to roll around so we can enjoy a few beers and soak up the atmosphere. We love this place, long may it continue!

Em The best Indian take-away I have had in a long time. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Everything was delicious and they were kind enough to accommodate my requests. Thank you so much! I will definitely order again.
