Opan Cafe - (Near Croydon, london)

Arun Chandrasekaran A colleague of mine took me this small and cozy Kurdish restaurant and told me not to underestimate the taste and the quality of the food by the look of it. He was right. I have had Greek cuisine, Lebanese cuisine, Persian cuisine, Iraqi cuisine and so on in various countries. But none of them comes close to this restaurant. This is the best middle Eastern restaurant outside of middle East without doubt. Their cuisines have an authentic taste to them. Their kabobs are juicy and very tasty. I love their thin breads with tasty curry. Try their lentil soup and Mashtaw which is made of butter milk, lemon juice and salt. The food is not expensive for the quality of the food. Must visit for any foodie!!

Russell Profitt Food came out hot, fresh and very quickly! Staff member “John” was very friendly, polite and even took time out to help me put my Nando’s card on my phone wallet as I’m bit behind the times lol All in all a nice lunch, with good service!

Jefin jose Visited Taste of Kerala in East Croydon today and it was excellent. The food was genuinely authentic with real Kerala flavors—fresh, well-cooked, and satisfying. It actually felt like eating back home. The service was very good; staff were friendly and attentive. Easily one of the best places for proper Kerala food in London. Highly recommended

Jamie Lee There’s an incredible variety of meats and seafood to choose from. Eat as much as you like. The staffs were super friendly and attentive.

Ivyy Had the pleasure of being served by Jeff from the Croydon branch (Box Park). He was very friendly and had the best recommendations! We ended up coming back to order again (in the same sitting) because of how good the food was. It definitely tastes like home (Philippines).
