Martil cafe in Croydon

First time back in 2 years. Never disappoints.

Once a regular, I finally revisited after a year. Happy to say it lived up to the memories. Still my favourite halal spot! Great food and service. Good portion sizes and priced well. We well definitely be back.

Food is very good and service is excellent.

Spectacular 100% recommended I will return

Superb service and delicious food and smoothies, will definitely be back

went in with my friend for brunch and was so excited to try it out and it met my expectations! wonderful place and can’t wait to go there again :)

What a pleasant local cafe. Visited for a last minute brunch. Was so pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh, yummy, HOT, and really good portion sizes (much appreciated, when you see how much shrinkage has plagued food places in this economy). All food was delicious, and made well. Pancakes needed a little more vanilla essence for flavour, and cooked a little less, but were tasty still. Tea mug was a good size. They have decent seating amount for a local cafe. We got lucky with seating and didn't have to wait at a peak time - 12:00pm on a Saturday. Service was fabulous. They had one waitress, but she was very proactive and energetic! Has become our local go to spot for sure. Also, refreshingly affordable prices, which means we'll be more likely to visit more often without wincing. We paid £30 for two mains, extras and two drinks. Free roadside parking.

The food was good, the french toast was cold and there was like a hard rock piece in my pancake.They made me pay for maple syrup when i didn't know i had to pay for it so overall they ripped me off.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Staff 10/10 Should you try YES ✅

Recommend cafe. The prices aren't too expensive, the food quality is quite good, and the portions are sufficient. However, the shop is relatively small, but there is parking available on nearby streets.

Delicious and reasonably priced breakfast, always amazing service and great food options!

Great little café! Friendly service, great food. Highly recommend!

Local spot, great service. Food was good! Great for a casual vibe.

My favourite place to eat breakfast. Clean and the food is amazing. The staff are very helpful aswell. I've been coming here for years so have tried quiet a bit on the menu and always excellent service

Best breakfast in Croydon. Beautiful presentation, perfect mixes, delicious food, affordable prices.

Not from south so first experience , really great food

Great range of breakfast and lunch meals. Friendly staff and good vibe.

Atmosphere is down only because of how small it is. Its truly not there fault but they should expand! The food is amazing and as an American I love the pancakes and waffles!

Lovely place. Great food and excellent service from the staff. An enjoyable place to eat.

A favourite for breakfast and lunch great menu and staff

Excellent halal breakfast french meet English 😋

The food here is a feast for your eyes and a very friendly atmosphere 😀 a massive thanks to you lovely people 😊 See you soon!! Martin.

Freshly made from fruits to cakes, pancakes and waffle perfect not too sweet, just perfect. Presentation lovely. Not to spacious but the service and food out weighed all that. Keep expanding with same service and tastee

Currently my favourite lunch spot! I normally go for Martil single! Lovely presented! Piping hot all the time! Lovely sourdough toast! Not to mention the staff! They are always nice and quick! They really deserve my 5 stars! Give it a try if you’re in the area! Definitely worth a visit! Thank you everyone @ Martil Cafe! P.S. If you like a waffle for breakfast, this is the place to go! :)

Went there this morning waited 35 mins for a table which i suppose dims a good sign food must be good. However order was very easy tomorrow re only 4 poached eggs.... Took 35 mins until impressed to see how long the eggs would take, wasn't even getting prepared as they forgot by this time it's been an hour. I understand they are busy however this is simple breakfast. Wouldn't go back again main owner puts a farcade saying it would be ok to cancel the order.... Not the way to treat loyal customers especially if they've waited almost an hour for poached eggs. I'm sure they may be having an off day however it's not what is expected shop is way to small to cater for clients. Most definitely they need to look at their model

Incredible - my go to breakfast / brunch spot! Great prices too

The food here was amazing! I really loved the French Toast here. The smoothies here were very nice. I enjoyed the double martil, the sausages and bacon were great!

The Eggs Royale were decent, but they lacked some flavor, and the muffin was a bit soggy. However, the meal was nicely complemented by the refreshing addition of a small slice of grapefruit and pineapple on the side. The staff were genuinely friendly, and the seating area was cozy.

Brillant breakfast good ingredients friendly staff vegetarian breakfast was 10/10

The food is fantastic, wonderfully prepared, and fresh. Service was friendly and prompt. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, excellent cooks and delicious food that is reasonably priced. I'm trying to work out how you get your French toast to be so tasty 😂 And don't get me started on the sujuks. Only thing to be weary of is that it's a small cafe, so if you want to eat in you may have to wait for a bit. But people do wait (including myself) for a reason. Give it a go breakfast lovers!

Service was great, food was great and cleanliness was not an issue. Got their full English breakfast, we also ordered the three egg omelette with chips both were very nice. Must give a shout to the tea as the family got a second cup, highly enjoyed. Highly recommend this place for breakfast / brunch.

Mediterranean breakfast is unreal

I definitely enjoyed the pancakes and sausages with very refreshing smoothies! will come back again next time.

Hidden gem of Croydon - great food - great service 👌🏼

Generous portions, great taste and great presentation of food. Good value for money.

Food always fresh. Love a martil breakfast!!

Fantastic pancakes breakfast! Friendly service, reasonably priced, kind, best American pancakes!

I went for the Martil Double. It was cooked very well, was piping hot and came quickly, love the sausages and the mushrooms. I also went for the Moroccan mint tea. Have always loved Martil for the food and price. It is a bit small however so there isn’t much seating but it’s most definitely a place to go with friends.

Martil cafe was absolutely amazing

The customer service you will receive here is second to none not to mention the amazing food they have to offer! The portions are generous and made with love! they even give you a side of fruit salad with your order too. I will be coming back here again for sure! 😀

This place was Amazing loved the food and atmosphere

GORRRRLLLL THIS PLACE WAS TEWWW GOOOOOD. The food was amazing as well as the service. 10/10 would recommend

Super little cafe in Croydon… loved the variety and the food was delicious and picture perfect.

Very pleasantly surprised, dishes you won't get anywhere else - we had the 'French meets English' - amazing thick brioche French toast with an English breakfast. The Sweet and Salty - crispy chicken with french toast and sides. Great service and heartwarming to have dishes delivered with a 'bismillah' Excellent brunch, we will be back God willing.

Everything was Excellent. I just wish this place was bigger.

Great spot, lovely people and amazing food! Nice to have a friendly cafe nearby!

A lovely local café with absolutely gorgeous food and service!

Been here three times and what a gem… beautiful food, beautifully presented regardless of how small a order. They take pride in there presentation and customer service, it’s just so rare. A*****

Fantastic English breakfast and tea. Good pricing and wonderful staff.

I’ve been here once before to eat in because the food was so great. The price is reasonable and the food is presented nicely. It is a small place so when I went I did decide to get a takeout but it was still quality food which I was pleased with. My favourite is the french toast

Wonderful little cafe. Friendly service and it all feels a bit personal and intimate. Love it. The eggs florentine is incredible!

Really nice atmosphere good friendly staff

The only thing going for this place was the sunshine which happened to be shining. Its, halal for & if you like that then this place might float your boat. We'd ordered two panniers both with fresh veggies and mine was with cheese and one tea. we had to ask for the food having paid upfront all too much for them!! Just a pity this place is not up to its full potential??

The food here is amazing, and it is halal here, too. The food can take a bit long but it is worth it. The seat space isn't large but it is good enough. Please come and enjoy here

Nothing nicer than a friendly neighborhood café

Just went to Martil for brunch. Really lovely food, great portions, and friendly staff. The food is consistently good. Definitely recommend. Best cafe in the area.

Great little local cafe which we visited on our way to Purely Way shops - for "English" breakfast. It thoroughly deserves its high review rating on Google. The food is good and the right amount - the service is great and friendly. Bonus for my family is that its halal - they do veggie too. Coffee is decent as well.

Food n drinks is amazing 2 thumbs up 😋

First time trying, heading back gatwick airport. Would recommend and would come back myself. Food was good quality and price was decent.

I have been to both martil cafe locations and I was impressed in both

Really enjoyed this cafe! Everything is Halal here and the staff are extremely friendly. Food was very nice but the actual restaurant itself is quite small and claustrophobic so if you're going with a big group of 6 like we did, expect to have a few issues - but staff were accomodating and after a bit of a wait for the food to come, it was all pretty good

The owner is friendly and the food is delicious. Spacious and halal.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Martil the they have vegan and vegetarian options and are happy to make slight changes if needed. Nice atmosphere but limited spaces

Small inside but very cosy. Mid range prices. Excellent value and choice.

Fantastic café, highly recommend this place. Friendly staff, lovely food and good value.

Friendly and excellent menu. Really delicious food. :-)

It was my first time going here with friends. The staff are lovely, and the food is a 7/10. I would return to try something new but overall it was pleasant.

I've been to this cafe multiple times, and they have always delivered. My go to choice from the menu is a slight edit of the vegetarian breakfast and some extras listed on the menu also.

Lovely breakfast. I really enjoyed my time ,the taste was good as well.

A beautiful find but to small needs a bigger space so more people can sit in bit love this coffee shop

Absolutely amazing! The best halal breakfast cafe I've ever been to!

O melhor café da manhã, com um excelente atendimento. Não é a primeira vez que venho aqui com a minha família e com toda certeza não será a última. Se você está em dúvida, só venha! Realmente vale 5 estrelas. Esperando um Martil Café mais perto da minha casa 🥹

Absolutely brilliant place and brilliant staff. So friendly. Had the best tea

I have been wanting to come here for ages and finally last weekend i came here with my sisters! I got the brunch double and the kale smoothie and it was delicious ❤️💙😋😋😋😋😋 so tasty and good and I would 100% be coming here again. The service was fabulous, my only downside to it was that it is just the ground floor and it would be amazing if they extended the cafe more to seating downstairs or upstairs as it did get really noisy and crowdy. Apart from that service and food was delicious.

A friend introduced me to this lovely cafe..its open till 5 which is later than most. The food is delicious and cooked perfectly..the plates and portions are the perfect size..coffee are beautiful too..and the staff are lovely even when its really busy ..ive been twice..I will return as the food is good and not out if a tin .. and its presented with care too . Love this cafe ..highly recommended

Fantastic food and presentation

Such a gem 💎. Youve got to try it!

A good friend of mine wanted to have 'brunch ' here as it very local to her, ive never been there before, but im glad she introduced me to this nice place. I dont know if its dog friendly , but the food is delicious , and so is the coffee, and the price is reasonable and its open later than most cafes . Im really glad she showed me this gem of a place I hope to take my son here in the near future , really enjoyable experience .

Fantastic. Fully halal, it says it on their board. I did ask again just to be sure about sausages, and it is. Fantastic little cafe perfect setting for families and couples. The vibe is so chilled i can't explain. Head down to Martil for an amazing brunch or breakfast

Great little cafe, food was wonderful, we have never been here before even though they are only round the corner from us but we will certainly be going back for more

Have been looking for a good French toast locally. Found reviews of Martil so gave it a try. Was not disappointed at all! Great options for all, meat eaters and veggies. Friendly service. Will be back for sure.

Random stop for brunch worth a visit. It was tasty and a cosy place to eat. Best part its halal !

Bonjour, je suis parti mangé 2 fois tellement s'était excellents, petit déjeuner anglais, américain, méditerranéen ! Je mets un 4 étoiles seulement parce que s'était trop petit, il est malheureusement victime de son succès. Certaines personnes attendais 40min devant la porte pour avoir une place pour goûté se délice !

A real gem in the area. The food is delicious and well presented. It gets really busy at weekends so I do wish the place was larger!

Friendly, polite and smiley staff who showed fantastic customer service skills!! Delicious reasonably priced food, variety of menu and great quality. Our smoothies and vegan/ veggie breakfast were wonderful. Modern decor with great presentation of food. Busy but still didn’t have to wait long. Loved our visit and highly recommend 💫

Lovely place with really nice food, the cafe is a little bit too small though which I understand due to location ect. We will definitely be returning

The quality of food is top notch and great value for money. The waffles are incredible!

Top food top quality . Nice and cosy

Great halal breakfast 🥞 Excellent food and service

Lovely local cafe, always nice to turn in.

Great tasting food, friendly service and fast. Highly recommend.

Lovely little local cafe offering halal breakfast and brunch meals ,the food is amazing , prices reasonable and the staff are so nice and accommodating Highly recommend if you are in Croydon and looking for a cafe

Food tasty. A different menu than the usual cafe. Great service. Only downside was the smoothie maker. The noise is unbelievable.

Great cafe for breakfast! Excellent food and service. Only downside is that they are small and don't have enough room for the many customers who live their food 🙂

This cafee is amazing, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, The food was served quickly. And very delicious . We enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s lovely food with lovely staff Our visit was a lovely experience and would go every week . Also is Free street parking . Highly recommended to anyone in London looking for a halal place and delicious food ❤️❤️

Happy to find a halal brunch spot in Croydon! The staff were helpful, service was quick and food was good. We’ll definitely be back! Overall a lovely place!

A nice American style breakfast of pancakes and fruit.

The owner was friendly. I got the egg royal one muffin with smoked salmon and one with turkey ham, they both tasted good. You can tell if a place is good if it gets the egg royal right.
