The Kerala - Reigate - (Near Surrey, london)

Thom Wilkinson I came here because it has a nice beer garden with a lovely view but was absolutely blown away. The beer was great (and very reasonably priced) and the food was way above what I expected. I had the chicken wings and chocolate ice cream, both of which id have been happy with at an expensive restaurant. Honestly, the food was incredible! As a plus, they also take allergies really seriously which is nice! The thing that really made it for me was the staff. Every person we spoke to were so lovely (Nick, Steven, and Ed), and seemed to enjoy what they were doing and want us to have the best experience, and we did. Ended up staying way longer than we planned and will be back again. Best experience I have had in a pub for years. Will come back again and recommend to everyone.

Deborah Bynre It’s great to see Thai food back on form in Reigate with the reopening of JusThai, formerly known as Thai Taste. The previous restaurant was sorely missed locally, so I was eager to try a takeaway and see if the magic was still there , I’m happy to say it absolutely is. I started with the duck spring rolls, which were excellent. The filling was rich and juicy with plenty of flavour, wrapped in a crisp shell that had clearly been cooked fresh rather than sitting around waiting to be reheated. For the main, I chose chicken chilli basil with steamed rice. I asked if the kitchen could prepare the chicken in the traditional Thai street-food style , finely chopped and add extra chilli and they were more than happy to accommodate. This attention to authenticity really paid off. The dish had a wonderful balance of heat, savoury depth, and fragrant basil, delivering that unmistakable Thai street-food character. The steamed rice was also perfectly cooked, light, fluffy, and distinct grain by grain, which is often overlooked but makes all the difference. Even as a takeaway, the food was still piping hot by the time I got home, which speaks to the care in preparation and packaging. If this meal is anything to go by, JusThai is a very welcome return to the Reigate food scene and one I’m very happy to see back.

Petra Mayne The overall experience was 10 out of 10. From the moment we entered, the staff were super attentive, friendly and welcoming. Also very accommodating in our choice of seating. The menu offers lovely food. The iconic classic dough balls are not to be missed, but there is a variety of flavours to choose from to please any taste buds. Our pizzas were delicious, no wait between the starters and the main course and all served with a big smile. Will definitely visit again.

John Piper Our youngest Son was doing a physical assessment at the nearby Surrey fire headquarters, so we thought we would pop in here for a drink. We had a couple of Cappuccinos and we also shared a "Flib". Apparently this is a bit like bread and butter pudding. Service was really friendly, we liked the quirky plates, cups and spoons. Coffee really tasty and the "Flib" was delivered to us heated up and with some cream. Chocolatey and gooey, it was delicious! Definitely would pop in again if we found ourselves back in the area

Andres Naranjo Having recently dined at Rama Thirteen, which has reopened with new management, I can confidently say we had an amazing experience! The service was outstanding; the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish not only tasting fantastic but also looking spectacular. My choices for the night included the Thai prawn crackers, salmon in teriyaki sauce, and the sticky pudding with the most delicious ice cream Ive ever tasted. To top it off, I enjoyed a gin and tonic that complemented the meal perfectly. I couldnt recommend this place more. Its officially my new favorite spot in the area!

Aimée Chalmers We had a wonderful family meal here on Sunday. A lovely young waiter (his name begins with N but I’ve foolishly forgotten the rest - apologies!) looked after us really well. It was very relaxed and we felt unhurried. The food was delicious, and they have plenty of options depending on whether you prefer spicy or milder dishes. I had the Kathmandu chicken which was fantastic, and the naan bread was absolutely perfect. Onion pakora and fried courgettes also got a big thumbs-up from our group. The portions were a generous size and the set menu was great value, with brilliant coffees to finish. We also tried some Rioja from the wine list, which we really enjoyed, and they cater well for non-drinkers with non-alcoholic beers. We will be back again soon, thank you Ghurka Kitchen!
