Gold Coast Bar & Restaurant in Croydon

I went here yoday and was highly disappointed. I drove 45 mins to get here for the fried snapper I have always come for. The fish tasted stale. It was nowhere near fresh. It was rubbery with a distinct after taste. When I took the garnish off and saw the scales, I couldn't eat another bite. What happened? I know it closed for a while but this is ridiculous. I've never seen it this empty on a Friday night. Since they served our food, they haven't come back to the table, are they avoiding us????

This has to be hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. We arrived and was taken to our seat. It took them over 20 minutes to come and take our drinks order. We then ordered food and drinks together and the food took over an hour and a half to arrive. We had to threaten to leave for the food to come and then when the food eventually came. Some of the food was cold, some of the food was missing. To make matters worse, we were charged for the food that never arrived. We saw several people come and eventually leave because the service was soo poor. The staff seemingly prioritised friends and made sure there food came first even though some had arrived 30mins to an hour before us. I will never return to this place.

This was the worst service ever! Waited for 2 hours after ordering the food! Then they put service charge 🙄 Too expensive for not so great food! Not doing going back!

Gold Coast has now had a much needed upgrade and looks fab! The food menu has changed and you no longer have a main meal accompanied by a side so you need to order the side separately. The main mean however is half the size and double the price. You can also no longer order alcohol by the bottle, which seems the whole experience is a bit of rip off! Needless to say I will not be back.

The atmosphere was was good, but the music was much too loud, we had to scream to make ourselves understand. The service was alright, but mistakes were made, also on the bill. I honestly think the prices are too high too. I won't come back.

I submitted a online reservation & received no reply, so I telephone & booked a table of 12 to celebrate my daughters 13th birthday. Upon our arrival the restaurant was closed. No telephone call or email, totally ruining my daugther's birthday. I have never been so humiliated. Peter F

Today I ordered okra soup with goat meat. I don’t know what it was but It was not goat meat they served! Not only that for a meal it was just one piece of meat with a large bone. Barely any meat. I have never been to any African restaurant that served one piece of meat with the meal!We complained but nothing was done .This was in contrast to the day before where we had guinea fowl and yam at the same which was quite good and why we returned to have a meal. I suggest you go to this place for snacks and drinks only. There are other African restaurants to eat rtom

Admito que no es frecuente que me sienta obligado a escribir una reseña inmediatamente después de ir a un restaurante. Como CEO de una empresa africana, estoy acostumbrado a todo tipo de experiencias y dejo que lo bueno y lo malo se vayan fácilmente. Pero cuando llevé a mi suegra y a mi esposa a Gold Coast, nos dimos cuenta rápidamente de que tendríamos que llevarnos porque estaba ocupado. Por lo tanto, marcamos el número del restaurante y pedimos comida para llevar mientras esperábamos afuera, y como sabemos que Gold Coast es una excelente comida, aceptamos esperar 40 minutos en el auto afuera. 45 minutos después y después de dos llamadas telefónicas que confirmaron que el pedido estaría listo en diez minutos, regresé a Gold Coast para recoger la comida. Estoy acostumbrado al mal servicio, pero no esperaba esto de Gold Coast. La actitud despreocupada y despectiva del personal, el ligero toque de desprecio y la sensación general de que me estaban haciendo el favor de procesar mi pedido de comida: no me había sentido así desde que procesé una solicitud de visa a través de cierta embajada africana que permanecen sin nombre (pero aquellos que han estado allí saben a cuál me refiero). La única diferencia es que, aunque logré obtener una visa, nunca vería la comida. Después de que mi frustrada esposa irrumpió para preguntar qué estaba pasando. . . resultó que 1) ni siquiera se había dado la orden a la cocina, 2) no sabían qué era incluso después de que lo repetí dos veces 3) pensaron de alguna manera que había venido a recoger comida bajo el nombre de Rosie mientras que mi nombre, como se repite dos veces, es Mickael. Eventualmente se disculparon, después de haber provocado la ira de mi esposa, y procedieron a hacer una declaración totalmente contradictoria con lo que me dijeron durante los últimos treinta minutos de espera delante de ellos. ¡Seriamente! ? No puedo negar que la tienda local de kebab, no solo hizo una parrilla mixta que era una clara coincidencia con el chef especial de GC, sino que el tipo había mostrado un nivel estándar de cortesía, que por el contrario parecía que éramos reyes.

Referencia 1780 para un plato de arroz para responder a sus comentarios obviamente incrédulos, así que le explicaré a mi hija que solo tiene 10 años come arroz frito con huevo de comida china, no podemos obtener arroz frito con huevo en Pizza Hut o McDonald's ni en ningún otro lugar como ese así que todos vamos por un chino y ella solo tiene arroz, ese es un punto que el tipo que nos sirvió era tan incrédulo que pensó que pediríamos tres y los cinco íbamos a comer como si fuera un tacaño cuando tuve Ya les expliqué que no comen comida china cuando dije ¿Qué pasa si los dos niños se sientan en otra mesa y yo pago su arroz y papas fritas? Está bien, él dijo que sí, lo que demuestra que pensaba que iban a elegir nuestra comida y estábamos tratando de pagar por tres y no 5 También nos dijeron que si los cinco no ordenamos del menú tanto como desees, entonces no podemos volver a pedirlo porque solo tres de nosotros estábamos comiendo seguía diciendo que es mucha comida en la que he estado nuestro restaurante varias veces y su comida es encantadora, el ambiente es encantador, pero honestamente, usted es amigable con los niños, obviamente, piensa que todos son mentirosos, pero realmente las mentiras que vienen de usted nunca volveremos y una persona es mala crítica, seguido de 10 en menos gracias muchas gracias. . . Debes ser un poco más confiable en el público en general de lo que eres y no juzgar a todos por igual

Grupo de siete con reserva de mesa, pero no nos sentamos hasta una hora más tarde. Servicio extremadamente lento y desorganizado. ¿Nuestra mesa estaba arriba en una habitación separada de otros clientes por alguna razón? ! El personal era desatento con un servicio al cliente atroz.Nos tomó 45 minutos para que nuestras comidas vinieran. ¡Lamentablemente para mi amiga que hizo su pedido de comida primero terminó siendo la última en comer! Parece que se perdió su orden. . . ninguna explicación / disculpa de la camarera que tomó la orden. Cuando finalmente llegó su comida, la mayoría de nosotros había terminado de comer la nuestra. Su arroz era del fondo de la sartén ya que había un poco quemado. Otro amigo tuvo que devolverle 'Waakye' porque estaba lleno de frijoles sin arroz. Ella conoce a su 'Waakye', ya que ha tenido este plato antes. ¡Su arranque de kebab tampoco apareció!Nombramos a uno de nosotros para ser la persona que hablaba para quejarse. El gerente vino, trató de ofrecer una solución pero no se mostró apologético. Solo obtuvimos un 10% de descuento en la factura. La persona que habló habló con su comida y un trago gratis al final. Para ser sincero, el gerente debería habernos ofrecido a todos una bebida de cortesía cuando bajamos al bar despuésComo en otra crítica, no vengas aquí si te sientes hambriento y apresurado. Me sentí realmente decepcionado por esta experiencia culinaria.

Compré Ched 6 Special y FUfu y sopa ligera como siempre lo he hecho. Sin embargo, cuando me llevé la comida a casa y se fue. Una vez que el recipiente estaba abierto, toda la cocina olía.Cuando lo devolví al restaurante, el personal del bar se puso a trabajar conmigo. Indicando que fue cocinado esta mañana. Cuando le pregunté si estaba en la nevera, ella respondió que no, pero sé que es fresca porque estaba presente cuando el chef la cocinó. No lo hace porque el chef dice que no huele.Entonces, la pregunta era si estaba cocinado esta mañana y ahora son las 8 pm y no se ha colocado en el refrigerador. Teniendo en cuenta que la temperatura exterior es de 25 grados, la temperatura de la cocina hubiera sido mucho mayor. ¿Cómo esperas que la comida sobreviva?He estado comiendo en este restaurante desde que abrió, y debido a su falta de respeto, modales y la edad de la comida que se vende, no volveré a comer allí.

La comida aquí es fantástica. Esta vez tenían un nuevo camarero que era un niño. Él era educado y servicial en todos los días. Mi familia y yo observamos lo bien que él ordenaba la habitación. Trabajó solo, pero logró limpiar y servir a todos a un nivel muy alto. No se dejó a nadie esperando. Se mantuvo al tanto de la cocina y nos puso al día a todos. Fabuloso. La comida era mejor esta vez también. Los escucho a ustedes, @robn 192, pero seamos justos, es una mejora que debemos animarles a hacer y felicitarlos por los servicios que reciben.

La calidad de la comida ha disminuido, pero la cocina aún está muy ocupada los fines de semana y apenas hay un asiento libre en la casa los domingos por la noche cuando hay una banda tocando en vivo. Los viernes y los sábados atraen a un joven deportista: una multitud enloquecida, pero hay un grupo saludable de usuarios maduros para crear algo de equilibrio. Cuanto más tarde se hace, más ruidoso y salvaje se vuelve, ya que los programas de televisión o deportes por cable se emiten regularmente. Un área pequeña en la esquina del escenario se designa como VIP, pero puedes ser engañado. Los domingos suelen ser un poco más tranquilos y tranquilos. Las familias son bienvenidas y las mesas son frecuentemente ocupadas por grupos grandes. Hay glorietas en el jardín, excelentes en verano, y cenas discretas en el piso de arriba, generalmente contratadas para fiestas de cumpleaños. Vale la pena una visita, es un gran pub local sin la sensación de pub. Visité con adolescente más uno.

Esta es la segunda vez que reservo una mesa en el restaurante y nos acaban de poner en el pub porque quizás una fiesta más grande había reservado después de nuestra reserva. No hay llamadas para decir que ya no tenemos una mesa para ti. Sin servicio en el área del pub, necesita ir al mostrador. Nuestras quejas cayeron en oídos sordos. Servicio típico del tercer mundo. Uno obtiene un mejor servicio incluso en Ghana.No recomendaría Y ten cuidado cuando reserves, no habrá garantía de que tendrás una mesa.

Fui con 12 amigos después del trabajo para celebrar el cumpleaños de alguien. El restaurante (arriba) era muy muy básico, pero si la comida es buena, a quién le importa. . .El servicio era muy lento, que me parece que es pobre a personal y organización en el cocinar la comida llegó con final tantas brechas en el tiempo todos comimos por separado, más o menos. Lo que el cocinero haciendo? Me sentía apenado por la camarera, que tuvieron que disculparse a menudo, pero se las arregló para mantener una sonrisa y también ofrecieron a llevar nuestras fotos de celebración.La comida.No suelo comer comida africana así que estaba un poco preocupada por mi falta de conocimiento pero feliz para explorar. El primer campo era cordero poco condimentadas. Sin embargo, estaba seco, duro y negro, probablemente demasiado cocido. ¿Cómo puede ir mal con el cordero?Siguiente opté por las pintadas con arroz jollaf un plato, platos principales. Estuvo bien. El arroz era encantadora y el pájaro muy bonito, pero la mayoría de los huesos.Varios de los platos estaban mal y tuvo que ser devuelto, uno de nuestro grupo nos y comimos lo que había (equivocadamente) llegamos porque ella no podía esperar otra cara. Y otro de nuestro grupo cancelado de ella porque teníamos todo terminado bien de antemano. (nosotros lo compartí con ella).Yo podía comer aquí y perder peso sospecho, a menos que se mantienen a las opciones de carbohidratos. . .

Absolutamente me encanta la comida aquí. Soy vegetariano, así que siempre ordeno el Red Red con jollof rice, y a veces el kelewele. ¡La única razón por la que no le he dado una reseña de 5 estrellas es porque creo que al pub le vendría bien una nueva decoración! Aparte de eso, amo The Gold Coast y he comido aquí muchas veces, y a menudo pido comida para recoger y llevar. Los precios son razonables para una buena comida casera!

Solía ​​ser un gran admirador de este lugar y comía allí regularmente hasta que la última vez que estuve allí pedí fufu y sopa liviana, manejé a casa (30 minutos) y descubrí que la sopa estaba llena de huesos. Estaba muy molesto y los llamé inmediatamente. Me aconsejaron que regresara y se lo cambiarán. Conduje hacia atrás (otra vez otros 30 minutos) solo para ser acusado de comer carne y ser un mentiroso. primero traje toda la comida, así que ¿por qué perdería el tiempo solo por unas pocas piezas de carne? en segundo lugar, el hecho de que me acusaron de ser un mentiroso en mi cara me indignó y finalmente terminé saliendo de la tienda sin comida ni reembolso. DEFINITIVAMENTE NUNCA VOLVERÁ NUNCA

Great food, friendly staff, nice place. I´m always having a really good time there. There is a live music on Sundays. Can highly recommend.

I love African food so I pop in for take away occasionally. I been there one Sunday afternoon for a drink.I found the place friendly and familiar. lovely little garden. I must go there one Saturday night..

Absolutely loved the food, exactly how I remember some of the best meals I had during a trip to the real Gold Coast earlier in the year. Took me right back to Accra, will definitely visit again, thank you!

De vez en cuando es agradable salir un cambio, pero el tiempo de espera y la actitud del personal es realmente inaceptable y hay que cambiar. Es un lugar precioso pero creo que el personal necesita capacitación y comida de veces no importa lo lleno que está no debería tomar más de 30 minutos.

La comida era buena pero un poco caro, creo que te porciones más grandes cuando coma allí. Además, el servicio podría ser un poco más rápido que tardó más de 30 minutos sólo para arroz y carne. No me decepcionó con los sabores, pero necesitan pack los recipientes un poco más. Volvería pero sin comer allí.

Visited the Gold Coast restaurant on 13th November 2016 around 16:30 .myself ,my wife and 3kids.we were greeted nicely .gave a table for 4.i asked for a high chair for my 11 months old baby and it never came .my wife asked and was told that there is none .took out orders .had the starter after 30 mins.kebab was terrible.the mains took over an hour .the tilapia was dry and tasteless..my kids food was cold and they didn't enjoy it.guinea fowl wasn't well seasoned.Don't think I will go back there again.terrible experience and poor food standard.the gentle man came halfway through my meal and offered a high chair which was very dirty and tried cleaning it in my presence.my wife rejected it .there was no check to see if we needed something.no water to even wash our hands,no extra bowl to put our bones in them .

Me gusta ir allí, la comida es genial, pero el servicio es muy lento y la comida tarda un poco de tiempo para salir. Sé que no es un restaurante de comida rápida, pero el tiempo de espera para las comidas es ridículo. Aparte de eso es muy genial. Ambiente acogedor, gran lugar para familias y amigos

After reading some of the negative reviews on here I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Gold Coast. It is a quirky establishment which is a restaurant/ bar with music and dancing in the evening.

Se dice que es un restaurante, pero con dos ghanian ghanians nativos visitado y nadie era capaz de hablar el idioma nativo y la comida le faltaba el sabor tradicional.

The food has gone down hill recently. Be aware they operate a payment scam. The card payment does not work first time and I tried again. The machine takes payment twice and I still can't get my money back despite evidence. I am not the only person.

Shame on the service as they did get our order wrong a few times, otherwise wonderful atmosphere, nice staff and good food!

I have been going here for years now and I love it. Whether it's for a sit down meal or take away. Always tasty and friendly staff. Of you've never tried it, go in and do so, also if you like spicy food then you are sorted

Wondeful atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff and even friendlier clientele. We had a lovely evening and I got a chance to sing with the very entertaining Masai band. I look forward to visiting Gold Coast again. Soon!

Disappointment in so many levels.1. Listed on tastecard but they don't accept it2. Food dry and chewy. Fish dish I order felt like chewing sponge.3. Place Filthy4. Never again

Were taken there by friends. Never knew African food would taste so nice. The food was delicious, the service was good and we really enjoyed it. Will go there again any day.

I love this bar / restaurant. Was introduced by 2 Nigerian friends as their favourite place to hang out. Fantastic garden, do yourself a favour & have the chicken special. Spicy but delicious.

I haven't been here for dinner but my boyfriend took me to this place one Saturday night for a drink. They had a DJ playing good music and we stayed well past midnight. I would definitely go back again for the music and drinks.

Dear sir/madamAfter arriving with 10 guest at the Gold Coast restaurant, we were shown to a table in the middle of what can only be described as a pub ( not the area we were expecting for a large group). We were then told that it was self service and that we had to go to the bar to order our food ( hardly ideal for a group of ten!) After we sat at our seats a lady did eventually come and ask for our order. After about ten minutes the ceiling next to our table began to leak, and flood the surrounding floor. Obviously this was far from ideal, and we were assured that the leak was coming from a washing machine, and nothing else; the lack of concern about the leak was alarming and this should have been our exit out, however we asked to be moved which we were upstairs to a cold room but at least it was dry. The food did not arrive together, and took quite a while to manifest itself on our table, when it did it was not great at all. In fact the meat tasted very old and far from fresh, this was very disappointing as some of the accompaniments were OK but the meat was awful. By all accounts the fish was OK, but the following day myself and 2 others were quite ill and unable to go to work! All in all it was not a great experience and we were extremely disappointed by the lackluster attitude, and sloppiness of the food. I suggest that on the back of 3 of us being ill you should have a look at the meat you are serving, especially the pork as it just did not taste right.

Before I even go into detail about my experience. I think it's important to tell others that after visiting this place myself and 3 other members of my family have been seriously ill as an result of the food we ate here. I am disgusted by this place and the quality of food they served to people. I am of Ghanaian decent and would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I think it is truly despicable that a place of business can charge people and serve them food that is clearly not fit for human consumption.I visited here on Thursday for a family birthday. Upon walking into the 'restaurant' I wanted to leave but unfortunately I didn't have that option- my family was waiting inside. The venue is terrible to put it nicely. After sitting down for a while we were suddenly greeted with water dripping from the toilet above onto our table. We were told it was 'the washing machine', and moved up stairs. Yes we should have left at this point. But due to how far we traveled and the fact it was my sister birthday we stayed. We ordered a variety of dishes. Which all arrived inconsistently- my main came once the rest of my family had finished. I don't eat meat (which saved me from serious illness) but a number of my family members noted that the meat tasted old. Nothing taste fresh, or authentic. Added to that some dishes came lukewarm. The kelewele (plantain dish) tasted like it was cooked previously and heated up in old oil. Seriously how can plantain not be fresh. Other than the amazing company of my family I really have nothing good to say about this place. But can maybe give them some credit for their fried yam. It saddens me on so many levels that I have to write such a bad review about a business. This place gives Ghanian food a bad reputation and does nothing to celebrate the delicious dishes we make. I can honestly say I this was the worst dining experience I have ever had.

What a nightmare!!! We were a group of 14 who booked six weeks in advance and then waited an hour for our food, with each of us being given food a different times. The person who ordered their food first waited two hours to be fed!Food tasted good but the management and waiting staff really didn't do much to get us fed! Appalling treatment from the management who offered firstly a refund to the lady who had been waiting and then money back in the form of vouchers. I booked the restaurant and was trying to liaise with the staff, in the end it took my partner and I to go downstairs to enable us to get anywhere. The manager went back on his word, gave half of us drinks (the rest had left as was now 10.45pm and friend hadn't bee served and they were embarrassed by the situation). The manager refused to give my friend that had been waiting for two hours her money back and kept saying it was none of my business and he'd give her a voucher when she left.My friend who waited two hours left the restaurant and never received a voucher or an apology from the manager or an explanation. I am so annoyed as I called the Thursday before the Saturday booking to confirm our reservation and the restaurant called me on the Saturday afternoon to re-confirm. They failed to seat us where we had discussed and were very vague about were we were to be seated. This restaurant is the Bazil Faulty of the London restaurant scene. They can't even be bothered to contact me to discuss the matter. Everyone was complaining who was being served and delays were really bad last Saturday.The plus side is the drinks are priced reasonably and they're open late on Fridays and Saturdays and have good DJ playing house and Rnb.Really was a terrible night, we had no time to dance as we sat upstairs waiting for people to be fed. We paid upfront for the food as a large group and so we couldn't walk out.

Came here for dinner with my partner on saturday. We ordered jollof rice with fish and I had chicken with rice and salad. I nearly bit my fingers off! Was so tasty! The waitress was very friendly and made us feel at home. She paid me lots of compliments which really made me feel good as I had had a terrible afternoon. The prices were very reasonable. I left a generous tip. Wasn't very packed though.. Wish there was more people.. Could have had a better atmosphere. I may celebrate my birthday here!

Gave it another try after it went completely downhill from grumpy waitress to food.Service was excellent a lovely sweet waitress, all our choices were tasty, really happy they got their act together.Will go again keep it up.

Good quality & portions of food. The bar & seating area downstairs is quite a warm environment & can liven up on weekends & bank holidays. The main restaurant bit upstairs is a bit bland & nothing to write home about. The service is always good & I've always found the staff friendly & approachable.

Shocking service by a very very moody depressed black haired woman, we were a party of 8 spending a lot of money, she was in a mood, most things were not on the menu, she said its was because it was a bank holiday...... Very Professional lol, I then asked about the chef cause I noticed a sign in the window, chef wanted, I asked has the food changed she said no, then she says the place had changed hands, the food came it was awful and portion smaller, what a shame I used to love this place, will never go back again. There is a brilliant Ghanaian resto in front of Peckham Garage go there instead and its cheaper, BTW... It's the first time in my life I have never left a tip.

I know quite a few people who have been to the Gold Coast restaurant and could not wait for my first experience. It was ok. There was a bar downstairs, music playing, people dancing and eating at tables with dimmed lighting that gave a rather warm atmosphere. It was full, though, so we were led upstairs, and what a difference. The room was brightly lit with just a few tables, no atmosphere at all, despite a celebration going on at the large table in the corner. Staff were polite and friendly and the Ghana food well prepared and tasty. Be warned, the pepper sauces are a little bit on the very hot side, but it's the lack of atmosphere upstairs that lets it down, in my opinion. I would go again for the food but would hope to sit downstairs.

I've tried African food a number of times, mainly in and around se london area, I'm English so in regards to home food I had never tried it before these restaurants, my precious experiences were bad, unfortunately this wasn't to change, upon entering I was greeted by what can only be looks of distaste and sneers, I am white but I don't think I should be made to feel unwelcome in any restaurant regardless of if it's a African setting and will attract most people with that heritage, I don't get that if I go to an Indian curry house or a Chinese noodle bar so why should I get that here? Downstairs is a bar lounge area, looked quiet authentic and interesting art pieces, we were ushered upstairs that's where the eating area is, we went up it reminded me of a block of flats, not at all ashetically pleasing, we were sat down the paint was stripped on some walls, we sat down at a hugely uncomfortable table and chairs, hard wood seats that if someone had a bad back would find unbearable, now I ordered fufu and what I think was a peanut soup I can't remember the exact item, now in other places I've constantly asked for just mear no bone and no ligament as I know this is fairly common place with this type of food, again my request wasn't granted they said they'd make sure nothing prior mentioned would be here but it was all there disgusting stretchy ligament and bone in my soup, the fu fu was nice but that's incredibly hard to get wrong, all in all a bad experience , bad atmosphere and again I still can't seem to find an authentic African dining experience that I've come away feeling good about

Love the Gold Coast great food yam balls fried fish and pepper soup. The staff are helpful and friendly. Celebrated many birthdays and special occasion there. A must if you want good Ghanian food.

Afrikanisches Essen ist recihhalitger als ich erwartet habe, es schauen einen sehr viele Fettaugen an, wenn man in die "Schafsuppe" schaut...Die Gewuerze sind allerdings sehr lecker und der Service ist wirklich sehr gastfreundlich und zuvorkommend, wie es dem Ruf vorauseilt.Der Hauswein ist nicht gerade zu empfehlen...Auf jeden Fall ein kleiner Trip nach Afrika in mitten Londons.
