Cafe Vivi in Croydon

Not bad but if you’re looking for authentically Sri Lankan food, this is not the spot. The menu is strongly anglicised/toned down and is closer to a Sri Lankan fusion type cuisine. The mutton rolls need a mention as being disappointing. It was all potato. Other dishes were OK ish.

This hidden gem is well worth the visit. We took the dishes as is and didn't feel the need to ask the chef to adjust them just for us because we're just not that special ! Looking forward to going back again.

Dinner out with friends on a Friday night. Enjoyed the jerk salmon and dessert of cheesecake. Happy with service from Steph would come again.

If you’re visiting the UK and want to try authentic fish and chips, McDermott’s in Forestdale is where I’d take you. This classic British chippy serves simple, traditional fare done exceptionally well—fresh, delicious, and exactly what you’d hope for in this iconic dish. The service is fantastic, whether you’re enjoying your meal in the nicely decorated restaurant or opting for the equally excellent takeaway.

Our group had such a wonderful experience here. The shisha was abit more dear, but the service and staff were so polite and respectable. It was definitely a night that would be remembered .
