Lime & Thyme in Merton

Really nice food, plenty of choice and good value. Overall a great local restaurant.

Empty lovely restaurant on a Saturday night… pizza, calamari and bread was nice … my pasta really tasteless despite the beautiful prawns. Tomato salad and another pizza has far too much balsamic vinegar. The service was really nice!

Visited this café several times in the last 2 or 3 years and reviewed with high scores. Today was disappointing. Eggs, bacon and chips served with just one slice of bacon and took 40 minutes to arrive. Then 2 espressos a further 15 minutes. Our lovely cheerful but overworked waitress was great, and the food tasty, but the overall experience well down on previous years.

Delicious breakfast. Friendly chatty staff. Will be back.

I took away a spaggetti mushroom dish. Foid was tasty.

Great food, quick service, and a warm atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and every dish is packed with flavor. Highly recommend this place for both casual and special occasions!

Probably the best brunch place in Raynes Park. Tasty food and friendly staff.

Cute place for brunch - exactly what you need for a quick brunch. It’s the best place at Raynes Park for sure

Very busy for a midweek meal, but when you get the goods you can see why

It is such a lovely place to eat! Recommend chicken souvlaki!

I brought my friend to this restaurant and she was very happy. Serving was good, atmosphere was good and restaurant was clean. We ordered piri piri chicken and pasta with shrimp. They were both good. On the menue, it described the chicken comes with sweet potato fries, but it served with potato fries. But I didn't tell because piri piri chicken was so delicious and didn't want to send back the dish!

I'm a regular here, and I absolutely love their breakfast menu. The servers are always warm and welcoming, the food is consistently excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great meal!

Excellent all around, great food and service, and value for money. I'm a frequent customer. The peri peri grilled chicken is our favourite dish.

Popped in for a coffee. Lovely coffee

Really reasonable priced menu for the quality, particularly for London. Service is unbeatable, the staff are so welcoming and you can tell they care a lot about the restaurant!

Place was busy, good atmosphere. Food was delicious, traditional Italian. I had the, garlic bread on the side with gorgonzola tagliatelle and it was soo good but the banoffee pie was the best I've had. I would definitely come back! We had to send one of our meals back and we changed the pasta dish, they were very accommodating.

We have been coming to Lyme and thyme for 5 years. The food is superb, and most of the staff are delightful. However, I have had several bad experiences with one member of staff recently ?new manager/management. He has a very bizarre manner. On one occasion when I booked dinner, he insisted on telling me we had precisely 1 hour 15 mins to eat our food and we’d have to leave even if we hadn’t finished. He did not ask politely, simply insisted. This seemed odd as the restaurant was empty at the time and we’d booked the table significantly in advance. On another occasion he turned 6 of us away from an empty restaurant telling one of us it was because of upcoming bookings (we’d said we simply wanted a quick drink) and told another of us that he was worried the children would put off other diners. In a family restaurant. My family and friends will not be going again. He is ruining what was a lovely family run businesses.

It's okay. It's reasonably priced but you pay for what you get. The service was below average, I had to clear my own plates as they had been sitting on the table for over 15 minutes. Food took about 35 minutes to come out, so it's not going to win any efficiency records and potentially more problematic if you have young kids (as we do). However the staff were courteous and pleasant. Nice to go out but won't set your world on fire.

A great range of food types. We had a group of 12 adults and we found something suitable for all of us. Service was excellent. Parking was difficult - but it was during Wimbledon!

Nice chilled place for breakfast and brunch. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff

Love, love, love this place! My family and I go regularly. The owners are lovely and very funny. The food is exquisite especially the brunch and the cost is great! The restaurant is child friendly as we take our baby in the pram in. They have high chairs too. There is plenty of parking around d- opposite is Waitrose car park which is cheap. There is in road parking directly outside but it’s limited and pricey. The location is perfect right in the high street by the station and bus stops. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Raynes Park. They offer so much and they are amazing!

HATS OFF to the Chef! Our meal was divine perfection. No words to describe how much we enjoyed both the Lamb Kawarma and Piri piri chicken. Service was excellent - friendly happy server Loved and enjoyed the art on the walls - a taste of the Mediterranean 💝 we are in London for the week and lime and Thyme was our first meal - definitely visiting again to try more 🙏

Ordered Lamb Karwama and Chicken Piri-Piri both were fantastic

Excellent place for a no fuss meal. The service particularly stood out - all waiting staff were very attentive, polite and very quick. They made such a big effort that it felt like we were in a fine dining restaurant, so well done to them! The food was great, and what was meant to be just a quick bite to eat somewhere local turned out to be a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Chicken skewers with salad and fresh bread were amazing.

We ate dinner at a fairly quiet time but had a great experience. Service was very good, with humour and a smile. The food was top notch, with interesting menu choices and quality ingredients. Drink choice was good and the ambience of the place relaxing. A1 experience.

Delicious souvlaki and very efficient and pleasant service

Waitress was very good and attentive. Food excellent. Was quiet but only 10.30am

I have been to Lime & Thyme for breakfast and lunch, and both times I had a great time. It's a cosy little place with delicious food and friendly service. I would recommend Lime & Thyme to anyone seeking a delightful dinning experience.

Lovely little gem in the heart of Raynes Park! Very happy to see that they had gluten free options on the menu. I had the most enjoyable breakfast. Food is always cooked to perfection and standards are consistent.

Great vibe Great staff Great food. Maybe no.1 in Raynes Park you know....

Delicious Turkish cuisine 🙌 lovely staff thank you 👏👏

Absolutely awful manager who is rude and aggressive and kept amending plans of booking and cost. I was part of a booking on Thursday 21st March for a 50th birthday party. You changed every detail and was extremely rude to the birthday girl and her partner. That’s not me being instructed by anyone, as I was looking forward to the food. I have been a regular customer for which you don’t to always need to book for as you can walk in, which I have done many a time. It is very disappointing. You need to consider your customer skills and you have lost a lot of customers due to your behaviour today. No need to reply further as I am Not interested in your pettiness

Great. Love it here. The staff are always so efficient and welcoming. My favourite is the Azzurro & Funghi pizza (veggie). Nice wine list too. A really friendly, good value and pleasant restaurant!

A great little Mediterranean restaurant in Raynes Park. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Perfect for a casual and inexpensive visit.

Love this local Mediterranean style restaurant, the food is flavoured with care and attention, staff, so welcoming and friendly, a must if you're in the area.

Enquired which oil they used to cook with only for the woman to huff and puff and ask the chef who didn’t know what oil he used, Also she said that they mix the oil when they pour it in. The woman explained that they’re a bit busy at the moment and to call back later . Sorry but you should know what oil you use to cook in, you can’t play god with peoples lives .

We go here fairly often. Went again last night. The food is so nice every time. Good hearty food, nice atmosphere and service led by Cameron always good and amusing! One of our fave restaurants

Love this place! Service is always so amazing and the atmosphere so welcoming and warm.

Breakfast at Lime & Thyme. One minute walk from Raynes Park Station. Had Shashuka with extra Turkish sausage . What an excellent dish. Reminded me my grandma's lecsó ( kind of like ratatouille). Afterwards, I had crepes, which came with custard and fresh forest fruit on top. It's not too sweet or heavy, just perfect if you want something "cheeky" to finish with. For drink, I had my usual latte. Total bill of £22.46 , which, considering the portion, location, and service, I found absolutely fair. I have to praise Luisa and Alexandra for the service. 🙏👍 Not only "my table" , but they run the show together with the kitchen, when they had a lot of tables, mainly walk-ins. They did an excellent, outstanding job. 👏 Overall, it was a great breakfast experience. If I am around, I'll be back. Thanks again! 🙂

First visit and it won’t be the last!! The service was impeccable; funny and attentive. Beautifully presented interior and very comfortable. Amazing food, fresh, hot and delicious. I scored 4/5 as they had run out of fries and I’m not a fan of chunky chips 😂 . Can’t wait to go again. Thank you!!

One hidden gem in Raynes Park. Excellent food with brilliant friendly service. Value for money. Highly recommend and will definitely return when next visiting our daughter. Thank you.

Friendly helpful staff. Excellent food, buzzy atmosphere.

Nice cafe, varied menu. Staff very attentive

Bardzo smaczne śniadanie. Polecam.

Foid was very good. Will go again.

Food was amazing! I personally recommend the fetacado 💖 decor and ambient was really nice :) Recommended 100%

Went in here for breakfast whilst my car was being serviced. Had the Turkish egg dish and it was amazing along with the coffee. If I lived closer I'd be eating breakfast in here every day!

Lovely eastern Mediterranean restaurant also serves pasta and pizza 🍕 Friendly efficient service and delicious meals. Kebabs are substantial 😂 Highly recommended and dependable

Great restaurant Great staff amazing food 👌

Good food, friendly staff would recommend it

Absolutely fantastic evening. Fabulous food, and exceptional staff.

Restaurant across the road from Raynes Park station serving a range of Mediterranean dishes. Staff very pleasant. A lovely place to eat.

One of the best lamb stews I've ever had 🐑 The service was quick, servers polite, food was amazing. Highly recommend.

The food is really great, would highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a comfy place to have a leisurely and delicious breakfast or brunch, look no further. The food here is incredible — we have personally tried the full english (with the beans in a cup), greek eggs (scrambled egg with feta on toast, delicious), and the “fetacado” (sourdough toast topped with feta, avocado, poached egg, hollandaise) and all have been clean-the-plate delicious. Full pot of comforting warm tea was wonderful. The coffee is a little on the bitter side for our tastes. It’s a nice slow place with very friendly staff. Popular for pensioners to come in for a chat, to read the news or do crosswords. Come try it!!

Best lunch I have had in ages. Very varied menu with lots of Greek and Mediterranean classics but also some less well known options and a very interesting breakfast menu. Very friendly staff. I strongly recommend this place.

Had such a great meal here last night, superb ribeye steak and the chicken souvlaki was best ever apparently. Great wine and super friendly and efficient service, must dine here more often, especially as it’s just down the road!

Had dinner here twice in 1 week...I think you know why 😄

Attended a family birthday celebration. Wonderful. Delicious food and the best staff. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Thank you

Favourite restaurant in Raynes Park. Been a few times and never disappointed. Friends have said similar. Recommend the Hunkar Begendi(Sultan's Favourite).

Fantastic food. Warm staff. And nice ambience. The English breakfast is very good. Also the Turkish Menemen is lovely.

Really nice food really good service. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Really nice place to go for a date

I couldn’t recommend this place enough! The food was delicious; I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfect, and my creme brûlée was textbook perfect. For such wonderful food, you would expect the prices to be a lot higher; the food is well worth the money and more. What makes it a 5-star restaurant is the atmosphere. The staff are incredible and super friendly, making you feel as though you are in your grandma’s kitchen and being taken care of. Great food, great staff, great restaurant.

One of my long time favourites in Raynes Pk. Always good service and good range of Mediterranean food. Something for everyone.

So superb lunch and relaxing atmosphere with lots of beautiful arts! Will visit again, definitely!

When I visited Lime and Thyme I was very happy with the service and variety of breakfast options. They were very accommodating to my friends and I. We called up in the morning and needed a table at 11am for 8/9 people, they sorted it all out and were super inviting. It's quite a small establishment but is well lit and has a cosy atmosphere. The food was good, no mix ups, which tends to happen when we go out in a big group. Our server was great: super friendly, made some great recommendations, and was happy to help. Overall a great experience, only fault was that the poached eggs were not on top form, other than that I have no complaints. Would like to go again and try something a bit different

Had a lovely breakfast. Nice atmosphere

Excellent brunch menu, great service and good ambience. Alexandra was particularly helpful and friendly as our waitress.

Definitely my favourite place to have lunch. Service is always amazing and the food is delicious.

I went there with some friends for breakfast and I really enjoyed the food. They were very polite and we didn't wait long to be served. I'm definitely going back!

Delicious food!, beautiful decor, spacious seating and reasonably priced.

Service was great. They accommodated us with our bikes. Food was great.

A wonderful place! Friendly staff and willing to support! After a few times being there, we have already felt a special bond with Alexandra, who has gone beyond the expectations! She is bonding already with the children of our company in the most sweet way!

Nice place, good staffs but not good quality food. I tried lamb shish but it was too small and dry in an uncomfortable plate. It costs me £20, you can eat much better quality food with this price.

Interesting and delicious dishes. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly staff, great service and lovely food. Happy to recommend

Brilliant restaurant service is always excellent. Food is really good although you have to get in quick with some of the more popular dishes as they tend to sell out. That being said we always go late so more our problem than theirs!

Had a fantastic family lunch, the food and service were all excellent. The Ribeye Steak was cooked to perfection and full of taste and flavour and very tender, the cheese garlic bread was amazing. Dessert of Brownie and Ice Cream was brilliant too. This is my list of recommended places to eat going forward.

I have been a regular at Lime & Thyme since October 2022, and for very good reasons. The food here, largely consisting of Greek & Mediterranean cuisine with contemporary British & Italian twists to it, are really delicious and refreshing yet at a very reasonable price. The staff here are wonderful and many regular customers(myself included) have eventually become friends with them, and it's one of those places that will make you feel at home the more you visit. The restaurant itself is also very cozy, though it can become somewhat dimly-lit at night albeit not really an issue for me. Overall a really lovely place I keep coming back to!

Friendly staff, excellent food and great atmosphere.

The best coffee cafe and restaurant in Raynes Park the staff are friendly and very obliging qq

Alexandra was absolutely amazing. I’d go back just for her service and awesome energy :) food was yum too!

Only 3 stars, as although the food is excellent and the service is great, the seats are shockingly bad. Please get new chairs!

What lovey food, atmosphere and people!!!

I went about a month ago, there was a guy with glasses and lady with blonde hair. The lady was lovely however the guy was just strange. Couldn’t read his own writing and had to confirm the orders 3 times and still got it wrong. Refused to make me mojito too and made weird comments about the food we ordered. Will not return for a while and hope he is gone when I do

Always have a good meal at Lime & Thyme. Never let us down. Also the staff are very nice, especially Alexandra. Can’t wait to go again!!!!

Amazing experience in this charming restaurant in Wimbledon. Nice decoration, delicious food and the best service. Our waitress, Alexandra was very friendly and professional. I totally recommend this place!

Very friendly. Fabulous Sunday breakfast.

Very friendly staff. Food was nice. Not cheap but too expensive either. Error in the food dealt with very well

It was ok. Friendly service. I didn’t like the kleftiko, which came swimming in gravy!!! Mum ordered Gorgonzola and chicken pasta (very unItalian), - kids had pizza and prawn starter which were great. I would have given this place a bad rating if it wasn’t for the service, which was amazing. Our server got the chef to remove chilli from the kids’ dishes, and did offer to get me something else when she saw I really wasn’t happy with my food. Also as she could see I really didn’t enjoy my meal, i wasn’t charged for my food and wine. I will definitely come back, but I really suggest changing how the kleftiko comes.. it was gross!!

I had a lovely time at this restaurant. The food was lovely (I had a chicken souvlaki & Kleftiko). Amazing recommendations & service from our waitress Alexandra from Greece. She was super friendly & welcoming & the service was excellent throughout. Thank you very much!

Amazing food! Decent sized portions, but still easily gaped it down!

Lovely food, fabulous staff, go above and beyond to help and make you feel welcome.

Best take out,pizzas. Most welcomed by staff members.Cozy Peaceful and quiet.Mini bar.I'd say have everything needed.Regular client since 2021.Owner must be proud of this place -service is always amazing!

4.5/5 ✨️ Such a cosy restaurant with affordable food. I had the seafood pasta which was delicious and the houmous with pitta bread is so good as well. My friend had the Chicken Souvlaki and said it was good but a bit dry. Lovely and friendly service 😊 my

Great food, nice relaxed atmosphere and superb service. I also like to practice my Greek there :)

Had a delicious lunch here great courgette fritters pita olives deserts were yummy great service very friendly and welcoming lovely retro decor a change from the boring chains.

Wonderful staff, great menu and good value for money! Would recommend to families as well as couples and friends look to have a nice meal.

Great food, good friendly service, excellent local restaurant. New visit and nothing has changed, all perfect. Took my niece who has a few food allergies, not a problem, they still served her with a lovely meal. We cannot ask for more.
