Yumn Brasserie in Croydon

We have always loved coming to Yumn. It's the gem of Croydon. The food, the atmosphere, the cocktails and the some of the finest restaurant staff around have made it stand out heads above the rest. We love you Yumn! D&S x

Booked for wedding anniversary. Expected it to be very quiet for a Wednesday but it was surprisingly busy. Lots of staff waiting on so service was efficient and attentive. I asked for water and when it arrived I asked for ice and lemon. The waitress bought a plate with lemon slices on it and a bucket of ice for the table. The food was fresh, very tasty and good size portions. I had Calamari followed by steak and my husband had homemade hummus and falafel followed by tortellini ( he is vegetarian) We also had 2 glasses of wine and a coffee Would go again and already recommended to others.

Had an amazing birthday dinner with my wife. Atmosphere was very nice and food was excellent and on point. Service was exceptional. Will definitely be going again.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Croydon. It will be a massive shame if Croydon Council mafia pushes it our because of their over priced rent. The food is worthy of Michelin stars and the service is 2nd to none, especially Christina. Hope it stays open.

Faisal was really welcoming and his service was excellent and very friendly and food was delicious plus halal, which was a bonus. I don’t know if Faisal is the manager but if he’s not he should be.

Exceptional cuisine, worth a Michelin star.

My sisters and I visited Yumn on a Saturday. The food and service was impeccable. We couldn’t fault it at all. Cristina was such a lovely server she was amazing. The team as a whole were great. The food MY GOD was perfect ! Tasted beautiful. The lovely tequila rose shots at the end were a lovely touch. That you all so much for a lovely evening at YUMN we are surely returning again. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. 10/10 !!! Thanks guys x

Beat truffle mash I've ever had

Beautiful interior, really delicious cocktails, accommodating staff and tasty food

The food was fine, the best part were the starters and the dessert I ordered beef, it was a little bit chewy, my spouse ordered a meat buffet it was fine as well. We don't have any negative comments therefore we would go back again but try something different from their menu as well. The environment was quiet, not sure if its because it was during the week.

Simply WOW! Food 10 / 10. Service 10 / 10 and Ambiance was excellent. The music and interior was top tier. Thank you to Faisal and the team. We look forward to returning with family and friends.

Really lovely spacious place. We were a group of 8 and we all felt comfortable and the service was great. The cocktails were well thought out with a selection of both regulars as well as their own inventions and the Mocktails were not just an afterthought, they were also fab. The food was nice, well presented fusion experience and catered for both meat eaters, seafood lovers and vegetarians and the portions were not overbearing.

Amazing food. Quality and service excellent. Cheese souffle outstanding. Fillet steaks cooked perfectly. Really enjoyable meal. Thank you for accommodating us so late on easter sunday.

I booked Yumn Brasserie for a birthday meal after a recommendation from a friend and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is easily accessible from East Croydon Station (by bus or on foot). The staff are professional but welcoming, our waitress was happy to share her recommendations and made sure we had all the information we needed to order. The interior of the restaurant and atmosphere are lovely, it feels like a place for an occasion. We ate from the a la carte menu. The food was delicious, great quality and presented well. The portions were reasonably sized, no one left feeling hungry. We had an early evening booking on a weekday and didn't feel rushed. We had plenty of time to reviee the menu and chat as a group between courses. They surprised us by adding a candle and "happy birthday" message to one of the desserts. It was a memorable touch to top off our meal. Overall it was a brilliant choice for celebrating a special occasion. I would highly recommend visiting.

Everything was great except someone came with a dog and it was abit startling with them barking sometimes while I was eating. The service by the staff was top class. Vince was fab! He did a great job and kept us entertained. Honestly had a good night with my mate. The seating is very nice. The mocktails are fab too. The food was perfectly cooked. They brought my rump steak out on a proper cutter with the fries and I was happy with that. No other restaurant has done this and wish more would. They knew exactly what to give for certain types of meat too. I will definitely be back to hear the live music.

Tasty, good portion sizes. The souffle and mousses are delicious, and staff are great. I was expecting to see the set menu (different ones are shown online), but there wasn't one in the night.

Accommodating staff...lovely food. Had the vip room...beautiful setting.

Excellent night out. Food was wonderful. Went her for a birthday dinner. In total our party was 18 people. Portion size was really good, staff was very friendly only one waiter was a tad slow i.e. took an order for drinks and he and the deink never turned up again! But that not an issue.

Went for birthday meal and whilst a bit pricey was definitely above average quality Decent portion sizes Odd that they can’t leave a jug of tap water on the table …but that was my only minor complaint … Would revisit

We had a very tasty dinner here. It’s my second or third visit and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly, efficient and attentive. The food is very tasty although I’m sure I have the same thing every time!! Their cocktails are also delicious and the overall ambiance of the place is quality. Good spot for a date or dinner with friends. I’ll undoubtedly visit again.

I have been to Yumn 5 times over the years. Great food and excellent service. Well designed interior design.

Great experience, good food and good customer service

Food was delicious Service was attentive Food had attention to detail Restaurant decor was very romantic especially now its Valentines season Nice place for a date or romantic meal out

Our food was lovely and service good. Food arrived very quickly.

This restaurant is really lovely. Everything from the minute you walk through the door is welcoming and cheerful. Food and service is spot on. My only criticism is the lobster is not on the menu atm and the gap between courses could be a little longer. But I love ❤️this restaurant and I am super fussy!

Great food! Beautiful decor and lovely cocktails. Highly recommend

Went with my husband for my birthday dinner the waitress was not welcoming the menu we saw on line they did not have what we ordered wasn't what we expected KFC would be better 29 pounds for each dinner doesn't worth it not happen 😕 the restaurant was dark I couldn't take any pictures reception was bad my husband asked the Lady why the menu we saw on line not available she said it will update soon. So please don't follow the on line menu it is false I wouldn't go back there.

Very elegant restaurant! good for fine dining experience. They will serve you well with good quality of food!

We were celebrating a Bridal Shower on Saturday 3rd Feb 2024 and a group of 25 or more. I found the attitude of the Waitress and Waiter (especially the waitress) assigned to us very rude, unfriendly and abrupt! The worse customer service I have received in a long time! A lot of people in out group ordered steak that came with chips, no sauces were offered with the chips when we asked for ketchup, the look we were given, you'll think we were asking for a free drink! Considering the amount of money we spent as a big group, you can atleast coach your waiters to be more friendly and accommodating! It was my first visit and certainly LAST!

I used their private dining service for a surprise dinner and it was amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful in organising the dinner, it was a seamless process. All communications were with Faisal who was great help and ensured we had the best time. The set menu had a great range of options. The decor in the private dining room was amazing and the food was lovely. I 100% would recommend.

lovely but overpriced eaterie food was nice but nothing special considering thr cost

Lovely service, the menu a la carte is nice but not excellent. Food is very tasty. It's a bit pricey overall.

Amazing service, good food and incredible environment. One of the best nights of my life

Absolutely lovely restaurant great food .... wonderful cocktails.... a perfect start to Christmas for me.

Thanks Christina for making my birthday dinner special. Would recommend Yumn and their private dining room! Amazing service and great food!

Absolutely love this restaurant. Perfect everything!

Really good evening. Difficult to point anything wrong. 😄 The food was delicious and arrived quickly. The staff was a big highlight of the evening (thank you Cristina!). They were cheerful and informative - rare to find this caliber of people. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Always great food and great service

Great customer service and delicious food. Great for special occasions. Mains were great and desserts were good.

Really special place. They catered for my allergies and went over and above, even creating a dessert off menu to cater for them. Service was excellent and Faisal (sorry if misspelt) was really great, checking each dish with the chef to bring a menu I could pick from. Food was unbelievably nice and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be coming here again and can highly recommend for people with allergies or dietary restrictions who can feel safe here. 10/10 cannot fault this place

Where do I begin! I can’t thank Yumn enough for the spectacular service they provided myself and family. I booked the private room for my daughter’s birthday. We had 16 guests. The food was amazing! Beautifully presented and so tasty. The decor to die for so so so beautiful. Great for capturing amazing pictures. I highly recommend this place for all your special occasions. It’s honestly so beautiful. Can’t wait for future bookings with yumn. Thank you to the whole team for giving us a special time at yumn. I love yumn! Lastly you can play your own music 👌🏾

Food was perfect, service was great and the price was just right.

Service charge of 20% is an absolute joke, end of .

What a fantastic place, food A1, service A1 everything A1, can’t honestly fault this place everything was great, nice place to celebrate my birthday ! Martin & Tania

Had a very lovely meal tasty food, amazing ambiance and they did nice treat for my mum for her birthday. Would 100% recommend.

We were served by the most beautiful young lady named Christina, she was so professional in every way.

Very it for a Friday night only an handful of tables taken, but this did mean we had a long dinner and where not rushed which was nice. Would go back food and service was good.

Booked the private dining room for a family birthday celebration and the evening could not have been more perfect. The communication before, the service , the food was all spot on. The private room is so lovely and cosy for a special occasion. Thank you to everyone who looked after us all

Had a 40th birthday in private room. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the staff we had an amazing time

The service and ambience was outstanding. Food was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Great menu choice. Nice and clean toilets. Very inviting restaurant. Highly recommend.

Such a great service, the ambience was so Lovely, the food was delicious and our Server GIGI was so attentive. We were a hug group but the service was on point.

Absolutely amazing food was so delicious as soon as we all had out first mouthful we all looked at eachother with amazement would definitely recommend service was outstanding could not fault it polite staff a special thank you to our waitress Christina she was brilliant always checking we had drinks she was amazing would definitely be coming back thank you for amazing food and amazing staff and thank you christina for making our experience and the chef.

Amazing food this evening, great drinks and top service from Gigi! Thank you Yumn! 🔥👏

We had the calamari, pardon peppers and focaccia as appetisers. The padron peppers were delicious, the focaccia was ok and the calamari was nice too. Crispy prawn main was very nice. The spinach and ricotta tortellini was pleasant -just needed seasoning. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious and the sorbet was lovely and refreshing after a creamy main. Drinks were lovely. The bartender made us a dragonfruit cocktail which was amazing. Christina was attentive and friendly. Great service. Very enjoyable dinner.

Service & atmosphere were good. The scallop starter was good but the beef cheek and mash were unbearable. The beef cheek tasted old and dry and the gravy couldn’t save it from whatever they did to it.

Great place, Very nice food, will visit again

The food was nice but the front of house / bartender was so rude . When we entered we were only guest … had booked online and told them in was a birthday …… the man / bartender / front of house seemed put out that we where there 15minutes early …. Empty restaurant……. Menus can not be read the are printed on home computer and when we asked for help we were told we had bad eyes ….. then asked if he could read them to us …. Ice cold stare …. I went outside in order to read menu ( the other 6 guest that turned up couldn’t read them either) the young women that served us rolled her eyes when we said we had sent a request online for lobster …. Apparently they don’t read the email either so disappointed….. we ate our meal and had two drinks …. £116 ! We left with in an hour ………. With our bad eyes and very deflated Happy 40th birthday….. I think not

Such a lovely local restaurant! Came for dinner with friends and we will definitely be back. Nice atmosphere, friendly & professional staff, and some great tasting food!

Lovely birthday meal with great service and nice ambience.

Very accommodating and great service. Delicious food too!

Very friendly and accommodating. Excellent food

Food and service were excellent 👌

The food is of outstanding quality, very similar to central London top dining venues. The service is great and very friendly.

Came for a private event on a 3 course set menu. The food was nice, but I do not think worth the £36 per person rate. It was overpriced. A deposit is taken at the time of booking of £10 per person. It is better if you book, just to pay the whole amount per person there are then - see reasons below. We were advised that service charge is mandatory for our meal prior to the event. This was accepted and happily paid by all in the party for the food, however the settling of the food bill was extremely long winded as it is not easily recognised who had what, if the server was to come into the private room and take payment. Eventually our party went to the bar till to pay. As the drinks bill was to be settled, we were then advised that drinks would be subject to a service charge and this would be mandatory also. We asked at the bar whether service charge would have been added on if we had got to the bar, to then we were informed that they do not take orders at the bar! The restaurant has made it very clear if you get a drink in the restaurant, you will be charged service as well, as they do not give the option for you to collect your own drinks. In conclusion, overpriced, mandatory service charge imposed and poor working out of the bill in the end - disappointment.

We had a 3:30pm sitting on a Sunday. The atmosphere was good,not noisy or riotousley busy. So we enjoyed the ambuance and conversations without fighting with back ground noises. The meals were beautifully presented, and the flavours, and taste was delicious & delightful. There was a set 3 course Sunday menu,or you chose al a carte. We had 2 "Atlantic Wild Prawn Tempura" starters,and it was an exciting start to the main course. Flavourful,and spicy,without been hot, with a hint of ginger on a bed of baby spinach. 🤤🤤 The main cours of "Monk Fish & Tiger Prawn Curry" was heavenly. 😍😍😍 The other members in our party had various meat dishes for their main,which they thoroughly enjoyed. The service,and attention we got was exemplary. 👌🏿 Everyone said the "Sticky Toffee Pudding" was the best ever. 😋

Dinner and drinks were great! Had a the private room for a birthday and it was really nice! 10/10! Would defo go back!

Stunning decor and ambience. The man that served us yesterday evening 15th July 2023 was unfriendly. He shouldn't work in a customer facing role. The restaurant is stunning and the food was nice. I will return. A lovely local.

We regularly visit Yumn brasserie. The food is always of high quality, well presented and the menu even when changed sounds enticing and never fails to deliver. The staff are very warm and welcoming and often checking to make sure you are comfortable, the food is up to expectation and your drinks are topped up. The restaurant is open and has a lovely warm and relaxed ambience. It’s really a gem in the Croydon area and worth a visit from all sides of London. Definitely recommend Yumn Brasserie to anyone thinking of visiting. Enjoy

The food is to die for. The service is incredible. Almost want to pick this up and move it to a nicer area than croydon

The food was lovely.Although, the reason I am writing this review is because I was eating my food and in a blink of an eye one of the Staff had brushed past my chair nudged it he just walked to his destination and did not apologise.I was utterly shocked that this happened. I was really offended. Apart from that, it was a well - settled restaurant .

Great Father's Day get together at Yumn. Food beautifully presented and tasty. Service was excellent despite being busy. Great range of drinks.

Adding this restaurant to my go to places. The food was lovely; the cocktails were made by a cocktail master; and the staff were very pleasant. Recommended

Fantastic experience! Food was very fresh and flavoursome. Thank you Thalini (sorry if incorrect spelling) for beautiful, attentive service!

Great as usual. Impeccable service and amazing food

The restaurant has lovely decor. The service was great. Food everything fantastic. I even got a birthday dessert.. I can’t wait to return. Portions generous size. I highly recommend this restaurant and am going to tell all my acquaintances. As I’m a foodie and if you look at my reviews I’m rarely completely satisfied! This restaurant is fantastic!

If you like Bougie, this is the place to go. The food is always delicious and the staff are attentive. The lychee martini is gorgeous. Lovely atmosphere.

The food was absolutely amazing and the service was really good. Very friendly and attentive staff

The food and service was amazing

A stunning beautiful restaurant with very professional and attentive staff. Gorgeous mocktails and wonderful menu. My only thing is that my main wasn’t that flavoursome and it was meant to have pesto but instead came with a balsamic finish (corn fed chicken with ratatouille). The sticky toffee pudding was a little dry and Brest and didn’t really have any dates which are a key part of this dish. The scallops starter was delicious and unusual and the rest of the orders were excellent. Definitely a party, corporate or date night venue.

Absolutely delicious 3 course lunch. My roast dinner was cooked to perfection, thoroughly enjoyed everything. A special thank you to Amir, your service was impeccable.

The restaurant is very stylish and the quality of the food and service is extremely good. Special thanks to Cristina, who made lots of good recommendations from the menu and improved the quality of our evening.

Good food very tasty although starter was out way too quick to be fresh so could tell the difference from the first time I had the soufflé. Overall great service maybe a bit rushed at times and lots of waiter interruptions to conversations. Still the best local place for this food type!

The staff are absolutely lovely & the food is fantastic!

EXCELLENT! Amazing mocktails and food and lovely friendly staff. I didn't get the staff member's name who added 'Happy birthday' to my dessert, but thank you. I enjoyed the meal so much I returned 2 days later :)

Amazing experience, friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere and great food.

We have ate here a number of times and the food has been consistently exceptional with attentive friendly and professional service. It feels more like a high end central London restaurant but with suburban prices. Love the stylish lounge area for customised cocktails and extensive wine and spirits selection. We have recommended it to friends and neighbours who have been just as impressed by the Yumn experience. As one of them said, the food is always Yumni 😉 We are looking forward to many more visits. Thank you Faisal, Chefs and Team.

Such a lovely evening, celebrating my partners birthday. Amir and Faisal were great! Super attentive, amazing service, food was brought out promptly and was delicious! Will definitely be back and have already recommended to family and friends. Can confidently say it was worth the 2.5hours round trip! :)

I got the tempura prawns for the starter which were lovely and the prawns with the kimchi rice with broccolini for my main which was also very good. 3 stars because my main came late and was waiting while the rest of our party was eating, however they did compensate by giving me a portion chips, sweet potato fries and an additional portion of broccolini. The sticky toffee pudding was okay but the Asda extra special is better… For me and my husband the 3 course set menu came to a whopping £81 which in this cost of living crisis is too expensive and over priced!

Fantastic evening. Staff were amazing - couldn’t have been more welcoming, friendly and attentive. Thanks!

We found this to be a very nice option in South End. Food was very good overall and decent value.

Had an amazing service here on Mother’s Day, it’s also good to see local businesses doing great 😊 staff was friendly but prompt and timely with orders. Food was delicious 🤤 compliments to the chef. Overall had a good evening with excellent service!

The food is beyond excellent and the cocktails are superb. Brilliant ambiance. Our waiter Aamir was so attentive and welcoming and just added to a really enjoyable evening!

We came here for my mothers 60th birthday and the service and food was both amazing. We had Cristina as our waitress and she was fantastic I can’t praise her enough. They even brought out a little cheesecake with happy birthday written on it which was really lovely of them. I will definitely be coming back here again. The mock tails was amazing I had the one with raspberry and pomegranate it was amazing. My siblings had lychee one which was nice but I don’t like lychee much. The food portion was good. I ordered the monk fish which was great. My sister ordered the crispy prawn with kimchi rice and omg that was amazing. I would definitely get that next time I go. There was 7 of us and the bill came for £290 including three mock tails and water. Thanks again Yumn for making the experience memorable and thank you Cristina for your lovely service.

I enjoyed a really fabulous dining experience here recently. Entered to find an impressively comfortable room with lovely seating. Received a warm and hospitable welcome from the manager, Faisal, which set the standard for the attentive and friendly service we received throughout a great dinner. The food was well presented and tasted deliciously first class. A great restaurant which you must try when in Croydon. I'm looking forward to returning.

The food and cocktails are tasty 👏🏾

Beautiful decor, great food, great service

It was our first time at Yumn to celebrate my partner's birthday. The food was good. The only suggestion I would give is to probably have more options for vegans. The staff and service was faultless. The surprise birthday dessert for my partner was an icing on the cake. Yumn, you will see us again.

First time we have been here and it won't be the last! The food was excellent and the lovely lady who served us was so smiley and attentive. I had the rump of lamb and my husband had the salmon, both cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back 😊
