Mama’s Pizza & Pasta - (Near Sutton, london)

ASFromTheLane (ASfromTheLane) Tried this coffee shop for the first time and was a little disappointed. They have proper, large coffee machine in there but my latte was made using a small pod like the machine I have in the kitchen. Charging a premium for a coffee like that was a little strong in my opinion especially given it just tasted like a cheap pod coffee. If the machine was out of service or something they should have just said. As the shop was newly open I didn’t want to cause them any trouble so just accepted it. Food is good, just a bit put off by the coffee.

Jamie Roberts We’ve been driving past ChefCheer for weeks and finally decided to give it a go one Sunday evening. The restaurant was very quiet and its relatively small inside. Decor and music made us feel like we’re back home in Egypt. This Iraqi/Persian food is so so good. Really generous portions and super tasty. We were given a complimentary bowl of lentil soup, which I would 100% go back for! The lamb kozi just melted in your mouth and the mixed grill was delicious. The only disappointment was the okra stew which was a little slimey. There looked like there’s a large table toward the back but otherwise tables are for 2-4 people. If you’re a big group I would recommend booking. We need to give this local restaurant some love! We can’t wait to go back and try some of the other dishes.

A TheSpur Absolutely in love with this restaurant and the wonderful family who run it. The food is so authentic and home-made, it feels like you’re their guest - every visit and they treated us (and treat us!) so very well. Sometimes if I know we will visit for dinner, I purposefully don’t eat all day and try two of the mains, as they’re incredibly moreish. Even the deserts which follow are immaculate and authentic. Looking forward to my next visit, having visited many times before.

Jonathan Eshel Took the kids here after school. They shared the kids box and I had a stone-baked pizza. Pizza was proper tasty, thin crust just how I like it. Kids enjoyed their box too and lovely outdoor seating.

The Penguin So the servers tonight were absolutely amazing. They were friendly, happy to explain things in a warm and friendly manner and were very responsive to any requests. The food was good but I do think there could be even a small bowel or something to use as eating out a bag at the prices seemed very cheap. I took my grandparents and they would have liked to see at least one knife and fork dish just so the whole family can enjoy the experience. I think bread should be included or as a side so you can soak up the sauce afterwards. I would come again but only on a special occasion for this reason. If some minor bits were thought of it could be a regular experience. But the staff there have got to be some of the best servers I’ve ever seen. Quick, professional, friendly and responsive. If the meal wasn’t so expensive to eat out a bag we would have defiantly tipped them a tenner.

Sarah-jane Sewell The nicest lunch weve had in a long time, and exceptional value for money. Staff were absolutely lovely. This was our first and well definitely be back.
