New Tings Grill and Bar - (Near Lambeth, South East)

What you need to know! Overall: Food: Korean First of all ignore all reviews prior to June 2025 as this is when the current owners took over. A lovely independent, local Korean restaurant which is literally a hidden gem on a side road in Raynes Park and well worthy of a full five stars. Service is lovely, the food fantastic and really tasty. There are a lot of Korean restaurants in nearby New Malden so plenty of choices but this is a new firm favourite and one well definitely be going back to. What I liked: • Bibimbap • Grilled mackerel • Pajeon What I didn’t like: • N/A Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price Point: $$

Sheena King I bought a patty that was so delicious that I returned to the shop and purchased six more patties along with a juice. The juice I selected was seamoss mixed with another ingredient. It was too thick and lacked flavor. I often make seamoss gel for myself, and when I prepare seamoss juice, it has a distinct taste. I expressed my disappointment, even though the staff were very courteous. The juice was intended for my mother, who didn’t enjoy it, but they claimed everyone likes it that way. This is how the drink is supposed to be made; however, if it doesn’t suit me as a customer, they could have offered a refund or exchanged it for a drink that is less bland and thick like a gel. It resembled a gel and was marketed as a juice. It was unfortunate because I really liked the patty. I chose not to argue and decided to take my business elsewhere.

B Grossi Don Luigi in Streatham Hill is one of those rare independent restaurants that genuinely deserves more recognition. Everything here is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in the flavour of every dish. Maria runs the front of house and is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Her partner Alessio is the chef, and you can taste the passion and skill in his cooking. The food is consistently excellent. The zucchini fritte are a highlight. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The pizzas are outstanding, with some of the best dough in London (coming from a fellow Italian). The G.O.A.T pizza is my favourite and is one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Drinks are also done properly. The Negronis are made exactly as they should be, well balanced and strong (in the best way). The pasta dishes are also worth mentioning. The pasta is freshly made and there’s real attention to detail in each recipe. Every dish has its own character and flavour, and nothing feels rushed or generic. It’s proper Italian cooking. Don Luigi is a hidden gem and exactly the kind of independent Italian place people should support. It’s a restaurant built on quality, passion, and proper hospitality, and it’s always a pleasure to eat there.

AKHIL RAJ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Authentic Kerala experience! The food was absolutely delicious — full of traditional Kerala flavors and perfectly spiced. The service was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The ambience captured the essence of Kerala beautifully, with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic South Indian cuisine!

Niclette Faustino I come here often and love it. They are always so welcoming and kind. Their peri chicken and wings are amazing always

Vincenzo I recently had the pleasure of bringing my family, who were visiting for the holidays, to a local pub for their Sunday roast, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The Sunday roast was absolutely exceptional — perfectly cooked meats, crispy roast potatoes, and all the trimmings, topped off with rich, flavorful gravy. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into every detail. Even my family, who can be a bit picky when it comes to food, couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. This pub really went above and beyond to make our holiday meal special, and I can’t thank them enough for creating such a memorable experience for my family. I truly wish them all the best for the future because they absolutely deserve it. We’ll definitely be back!
