Singapore Orchid in Croydon

Lovely family run restaurant. The service was excellent. The food was fantastic too. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. The rose and lychee cocktail is exceptional - a must try.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. Hot and Sour soup was very nice. We've visited here before and was not disappointed. Same for this visit. We'll definitely return

Really nice food, beautifully cooked. A nice mix of dishes. One of my son's us vegiterian and there was a great selection for him as well as the rest of us. The Korean Chicken was amazing as was the chilly beef. The waitress and owner were very polite and friendly. Highly reccomended.

A MUST VISIT! Food was AWESOME! My wife LOVED the Lychee Rose Martini! Service was impeccable! We had such a great time, this will be our frequent go to!

Had a lovely dinner at Singapore Orchid over the weekend. The lovely owner helped us with our order and had a cute surprise birthday cake prepared for my son. I’m so touched by this gesture as I was not expecting this at all. This restaurant goes above and beyond! Cocktails were spot on and a must try!

I ordered a takeaway and when I went to collect was told I should pay cash as this is there policy even though they had a card machine for the restaurant which they eventually allowed me to pay by then you have the rudeness of the owner who seems to thinks she can bark at you and treat you so badly this will be the last time we buy from them . The food is really good but there are to many great places in the area who actually treat there customers properly and having looked at other reviews it would seem the owners rudeness is not unusual and having brought this to the son’s attention all you get is that’s how she is well let’s see

Delivery estimate when ordering was 35-60 mins however took a hour and half to arrive

We recently went here for a relative’s birthday. What a fantastic place! Great food and drink, the BEST staff and a lovely family atmosphere. So much fun! Sadly I no longer live in the area but when I’m back, I‘ll come back here!

Great tasting food, nicely presented, hot and good size portions. Lovely friendly delivery

Little expensive for the portion sizes, but excellent quality food! Delivery was incredibly fast.

everything was lovely, best salt and pepper chicken strips from a takeaway round here

Tasty & great quality especially the tamarind prawns and chow mein thank you.

Beautiful fresh tasty food. Staff were lovely. First time we have been here and we will definitely use this as our go to restaurant from now.

Great family run business with original family recipes would definitely recommend coming and trying. They are really passionate about their business.

Good quality ingredients , beautifully cooked, friendly sincere staff.

Very good food especially kung pao prawns

First time ordering food from Singapore Orchid and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend

Our go to takeaway restaurant. Always lovely food. Have eaten in a few times and the food is even better!

Fantastic restaurant that never disappoints.

I live a mile away. it was stone cold and inedible. Even my dog turned up her nose. Sadly a disappointment

Arrived early and was delicious

Love Singapore orchid. Really lovely to sit in with food and they do great cocktails too. The take away is also fab and we order regularly. Top notch Asian food.

Loved the food. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely come back

Delivered hot ! Very tasty . Not greasy and tasted freshly cooked . Really enjoyed the food !!

Excellent food and cocktails. staff are super friendly. highly recommend! :) i've had romantic dates and catch up with friends; the food is outstanding!

Food is absolutely amazing. Authentic Singaporean food - cocktails were just the icing on the cake! Loved the owner, she was so loveable and helped us with choosing dishes that reminded us of home! She’s a looker too ;)

My order arrived early by 15 minutes which was brilliant & the lady delivering it was very friendly & polite. The food was absolutely delicious! Besides being piping hot, every dish was cooked to perfection, tasted beautiful — and the portions were generous too. The whole meal was so tasty, freshly-cooked and full of flavour that it has to be right up there with the best Chinese I’ve ever had. I shan’t go to any other Chinese in this area now, as it was simply superb in every way. 10 stars!🌟🌟🌟

Delicious food across the starters and mains. They offer an extensive menu for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. Service was very good. We'll be back when next in the area.

Excellent food as always. We visited on Friday as a group of six and were made to feel incredibly welcome as we always do by the staff and owner, exceptional service and food. Big shout out to the fantastic cocktails too, they are a must try.

Delicious food, best ribs I've ever had. Welcoming atmosphere and would recommend the cocktails.

Food is amazing but generally the staff that own the restaurant are unfriendly especially the man. Is a shame as the food is consistently good.

as always amazing food, never disappointed with it.

We didn't dine in the restaurant, as we have done on many occasions, but we ordered delivery for a gathering of 15 friends. As always the food was delicious and the Singapore Orchid staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating with our complicated order. Everyone was very complimentary about the authentic tastes of Asia.

Dined here last night, food was excellent, we especially loved the soft shell crab & the Pad Thai was as good as I have experienced anywhere. Service was great too & the prices at just under £30 per person are more than reasonable.

A good selection of Singaporian, Malaysian and Thai cuisine. Friendly service and reasonably busy in there, looking forward to our next visit.

Always great from here. Never greasy and always served hot!

Amazing freshly cooked food, great menu. So glad this place is local as it’s a cut above any average takeaways. Eaten in several times too and service has been great.

I really like Singapore Orchid...we love their food ...but after waiting 1 1/2 hours for a delivery & then phoning to find it was still in the queue to be cooked we gave up & cancelled the order. I wanted an evening meal not breakfast.

A hidden gem! We enjoyed a lovely Singaporean dinner served by a great team.

This was our first experience eating in a few weeks ago and I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable when we entered. A very rude and disrespectful woman, (short blondish hair), she looked like the owner. She looked at me up and down and failed to say hello- a look of why we were there. When I told her I had a reservation- she was stunned and was very dismissive and after I said we made a reservation she was rather perplexed. We were sat to the table and given one menu to start with…. ( they had a large group dining too- so took up all the menus). There was a nice gentleman who I believe took our booking who was friendly- that’s your lot! Upon ordering, I had forgotten to order a small portion of egg fried rice and when I asked to place an order, the waitress who took our order snapped and said it will take a “long time”. It was for my 3 year old- rice is a staple dish, which does not involve extensive cooking (also pre cooked) I found this pretty unreasonable, how could you deny a child food- they didn’t want us there. You can't whip up a small portion of rice, she didn't want our custom. The food in general was good- however the staff and ambience was abysmal. As an owner, you should be welcoming and friendly- the woman who greeted us- was far from this. She did not want our business as she was seen to pander to the large group of customers she had in the restaurant. A real shame, given this could have been our new local. Note the owner: don’t dismiss people who are coming to your restaurant, we are the people who keep your restaurant going. I would really score this no stars for service or ambience. I feel discriminated by the entire experience.

Such a fantastic evening at Singapore Orchid. Ananda, Annie and the team were warm, welcoming and funny! The food tasted excellent and I would recommend trying the Tomyum cocktails!

A real shame as we are regular customers, but wont be anymore. We order or eat in at least once a month, tonight we ordered a takeaway in which was £30 for 2 chicken chow mein and 2 rice. We was told on the email it would be an hour and half. I then called the lady to make sure the order was ok and she didn’t make us aware that our food would take 2 and half hours. I then called the restaurant 2 hours later to see where our food is and the response I got was the lady laughing at me and saying do you want food or not. I then asked to speak to the manager in which she replied I am. I then said what is the situation with the food is it on its way she replied with it’s still cooking. I asked if there would be a complimentary prawn crackers as for some reason they dont come with some which is strange as every other Chinese take away does. She said no as the energy bills since covid have been high. I will definitely NOT be going there or ordering again. Such a shame

delivery time kept changing in the end it was 45 minutes later then originally expected

All the food here was well presented and tasted first class. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were able to advise and recommend specific dishes. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable. Car parking spaces can be found in the nearby streets.

I love coming here! The food is amazing and it’s always such a lovely atmosphere. I always feel like we get such a personal experience and have recommended Singapore Orchid to many people. Ananda takes to time to sit and talk to you and makes us laugh every time we go. They also make great cocktails! Can’t wait to go back.

Not bad food, sometimes service isn’t great. They don’t like to take orders over the phone on Fridays and Saturdays. Yes you can order online with an additional fee, but why when I’m collecting myself.

Good food at good prices, will definitely return.

Ordered from here for the first time yesterday, as a treat for my daughter. Money is a challenge at the moment so I was hoping for something special. Very busy in the restaurant so was advised to order online. That was easy enough to do. Order time quoted was half an hour but it was more like 45 minutes, which was fine. Friday night and they were busy. Ordered spicy chicken, egg fried rice and spicy shredded beef. The rice was good and the portion was enough for two. The mains were not good. My chicken was a breaded piece cut into portions, served with a hot sweet ‘chilli’ sauce. It was very sweet and sickly and had no spice at all. The chicken was flavourless and limp. My daughters beef was more batter than anything else. The beef inside was minimal, the pieces were chewy and tough. Again no flavour an hint of eastern spices or flavour. This tiny meal cost nearly £24. Disappointed does not begin to describe our experience. Will not waste my hard earned money here again.

Perfect Service, tasty healthy food and pleasant atmosphere, I'm recommended 100%

This restaurant absolutely delivered for our special occasion. They opened slightly earlier to allow us to do small decorations and bring in the birthday cake. They were incredibly accommodating. The waitress Elena was so attentive to our needs and served everything with a smile. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The place is small and cozy. Highly recommend!

Had a meal out on the 4th October 2023, not too enamoured by the food, or the bill; £75 for 2 people with no alcoholic drinks (small soda water £4:95 and small sparkling water £4:95), but this is not the reason for the review. On the evening of the 5th, I fell very sick, vomiting, diarrhoea, having to take 2 days off work to recoverer. I thought nothing of it, until I found out the person I dined with had exactly the same over the same time frame. Look at my reviews, I am not one to complain, but this wiped me out for 2 days!

Took over an hour, nearly an hour and a half for the food to be delivered

We usually love the food and order regularly but this time the smoked chicken was soggy and small pieces and the special fried rice was basically white boiled rice

To celebrate a big birthday our family enjoyed a lovely meal together here on a Saturday evening. Food was delicious. But more than that the staff were very friendly, attentive & were so considerate to my allergies. Making sure everything I ordered was free of specific allergens. Which was much appreciated.

Great quality food and was delivered quite quickly. Appreciate the wonderful service. Thank you.

This is the first time I write a review for a restaurant. And the first time for the whole of my life they charged me a cup of hot water for 1.5pound!! And it even wasn't listed on the menu！Water is free in a restaurant everywhere! Also they charged me sevice fee, and said it is a must and non-removable. The girl served me wasnt so nice, it was an empty restaurant and she asked me to move to a dirty table! Such a shame! Never come back again!

Good menu choices, portions were a little on the small side and some meals lacked the flavour/texture (eg prawn toast)

Another great meal at this family run local restaurant. Again, the food was delicious, especially the lamb curry. The service was first class and prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this lovely place.

Lovely cocktails, we enjoy every time we visit, great service friendly atmosphere.

Best Singapore and Malaysian food around my area.🥰

obscenely overpriced. Very dry mains, small portion of rice. spend your money on something else

Came to this restaurant on a friends recommendation and the fact it had a fusion menu. I am allergic to chilli and asked that my food was chilli free. My family all ordered and were extremely happy with their choices. I had a noodle dish and it tasted spicy to me. I was assured it was chilli free, but as they could see I wasn't happy, I was offered a different dish that was absolutely spice free. It was very tasty and I really enjoyed it. The vegetarian duck with pancakes was also delicious. Would definitely recommend and I thank the staff for being so considerate.

I purchased a takeout after work, this food was soooo delicious! I had salt and pepper chicken, sweet n sour prawn balls and Katsu curry chicken , I should of got the prawn crackers too. Thank you Singapore orchid I’ll be back 😊 Deborah

Chicken bao was good nothing else. Very odd flavours

Great food and delivered early even though it was peak times. Thanks.

Tasty food with more offerings in the way of Korean and Malasian / Singaporean dishes, as well as the Chonese staples. A little overpriced for the area and ambience provided.

Another great night, i think I might have converted another two people to this wonderful restaurant! Two starters and I am so full!!!

Food is good but expensive and there isn’t much of it. Just spent £36 for two people and still hungry portion sizes very small

Food was great and delivery was awesome

Food is lovely and hot but 1hour 40 is too long to wait

Always tasty and delicious food and Always delivered hot to the door

Amazing place to dine. Have been using this restaurant for many years. Great friendly staff. Good ambiance. Food is sumptuous. Good selection on the menu catering for vegetarian and meat lovers. Would had loved to give 5star, however disappointed with the tofu. Very hard and dry. Harshad London

One of best take away we had in long time. We have had both eat in and take out. Is now our go too always. Beautiful flavours and seasoned so well. Honestly we couldn't fault it. Wish the portion were bigger but again really good food. Thank you, our Saturday night was saved.

Excellent evening , the service was very good, not easy with a party of 16 ,the food was wonderful, the whole experience was great.

Delicious food with excellent veggie options

Really nice, definitely order from here again

This has become a regular hot spot for us. The food is incredible and the team are always so welcoming. The cocktails are to die for and both food and drinks are reasonably priced for the quality! Definitely a five stars!

Food quality is awful. Never again

Have ordered from this place for collection many times over the phone INCLUDING ON A FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT- ALWAYS. Called up this evening to make a simple order for 1 dish however the customer service was terribly lacking. I was told very rudely to place the order online, despite explaining that to order for collection online you have to spend a minimum of £20.00 where my dish was only going to cost 10.95. Woman on the phone was very rude and said well I am too busy right now to take an order from you right now. In the time she took to say all of this she could have simply taken the 1 order. Very Poor service and I will not be ordering from this place again.

Disappointed: Food is usually much better than this, but on this occasion I received very cold food and it arrived late. Of note, the food was not sent in a thermal bag, it was delivered the in the usual white plastic bag. Hence, the number of stars from me fell significantly.

Food was cold and very small portions

Ordered at 6.30, indication was for delivery in 30-50 minutes. Arrived at 8.00.

Amazing food, always great tasting and food will be ready when they say it will be. Good selection of dishes across Asian countries so if you're in the mood for Chinese or Thai or a mix then this is your place. Wouldn't go anywhere else,

best chinese delivery service around.

Great food as usual.... Worth the wait despite being less than hot as it took 25 minutes from driver leaving to food arriving.

Excellent food as always, very tasty.

Always delicious food, thank you!

The meat on the chicken was pink 😭

Loved the food as always and that it was earlier than what it said estimated time. Thank you

Great food and service. Extensive vegan options too.

Very enjoyable food! Lovely mains with plenty of flavour and size. Very happy staff who continuously checked if we needed anything

This is my second time coming to the Singapore Orchid. It did not disappoint! Firstly, customer service was excellent and the young lady who served my friend and I was very polite and friendly. The food was delicious, we had a set menu and everything was tasty. The cocktails we had, pina coladas, were to die for! The prices are also reasonable. Highly recommend this local gem!

The service was lackluster. Need to work on greeting customers in a more friendly manner. Did not make a booking before hand, and this seemed to cause consternation. We accepted a table at the bar, but this could have been handled better. The food portions were small in my opinion but tasted very good.

Ordered from these guys only to be cancelled again. Probably because of my last review. Absolutely useless. I will endeavour to tell as many people as possible about the poor service. They didn’t even bother to call and advise of cancellation

Arrogance beyond belief, confirmed order went to pick up and said kitchen to busy to do it, foods terrible service even worse

Just had a takeaway from here and the food is great. I really like that the veg/vegan food is clearly labelled- I feel confident ordering from here that I won’t have to inspect my plate just incase. It was delivered in the time window and the food was really hot when it arrived. Thanks!

Great restaurant and very reasonably priced! I had miso soup and sizzling tofu + rice to eat and ate it all with biggest pleasure - both dishes were very tasty! The staff was also lovely and very informative, especially when it comes to catering for special dietary requirements such as food intolerances or allergies. I will most definitely come back for more one day!

Thank you very much for the two nice evenings with such gentle people and great food at your restaurant! We enjoyed it! Greetings from four swiss people!

Food was delicious and order came really quickly

My usual Chinese was closed. This has to be the worst I've ever had , just salty , doesn't look or taste like real chicken , gave me another dish not king po chicken , real disappointment.waste of petrol and money .
