The best restaurants in Selsdon and Ballards Croydon London

Culina is a local gem in Selsdon, South Croydon. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Very good quality food - snacks and meals. Reasonable prices. Very glad it's so near to where we live.

we booked at 19.00 for a 20.00 delivery, but it didn't turn up until 20.20

I’d so been looking forward to coming here as I’d heard great things, but unfortunately found it to be a disappointment. It’s not clear when you walk in whether you’re supposed to find your own table or wait to be seated so there was a huddle of confused people. Luckily we only had to wait a few minutes for a table, but when we ordered they said it would be about a 20 minute wait for food. So we waited, and waited, and seen people who came in after us eating, and waited…after 45 minutes we had to go up and ask where our food was. Then it turned up within 2 minutes! We’d ordered one smashed avocado on toast (which was okay, but pretty tasteless) and one eggs royale with smoked salmon. The eggs were luke warm at best and when I asked the waitress if our order had been sat waiting she said no it has just been cooked fresh. My guess is the kitchen cooked it and someone forgot to bring it us because it was so busy. They took the order back and cooked it fresh, and when they brought it back they said it was normal for it to not be hot because of the smoked salmon, but this time the eggs were hot so I definitely think they forgot to bring us our food the first time. The eggs royale was nice in the end, but for me the wait time was off putting, it was far too busy/noisy & there were too many people with dogs inside. I know so many cafes allow it now, but I think it’s really unhygienic and inconsiderate for people who have a phobia of dogs.

Amazing food and service. Faultless, Rosa looked after us impeccably. 10 out of 10. Cannot recommended this place enough! Great atmosphere!

A diamond little pub serving very good beer and what an excellent range. A good line up of single malts. Friendly owners and interesting music. Long may it remain.

Wife ordered large doner without me knowing so I ate it. When she told me I realised it was a small . Obviously cannot show a photo but if you check your records I am a regular customer at 39 upper Selsdon road. Tried to call but no answer. Please let me know how we can rectify? Russell

Best curry I've had in a very long time

Good curry, reasonable price, friendly service

Girls need to be more polite and keep the shop clean!

Delivery was late, had to call the restaurant & no apology! Pizza & chicken were very disappointing, lacked flavour

Good spoons. Normal in terms of interior. Smoking in the back is a bit odd as some tables are no smoking. The food is normal spoons food but it was cooked hot and tasted nice. Desserts were good too.

From walking in to coming out, the whole experience was almost magical. We felt free to speak about our Christian faith and were presented with a lovely meal of a prawn Sandwich and a B.L.T . The flavours were strong but also subtle. But the best part of the meal were the ladies behind the counter they both had the bestest nonstop smiles, which were very infectious. Me and my friend were most pleased with everything and will make sure we go at least once every six weeks, til the after life. Amen. This review is from Louise and Tony.

amazing food however was dry so asked for some cream and cj took me round the back and we had a wild time after he filled me to the brim to the point it started leaking out the top xxx

The staff was friendly and we enjoyed our lunch. It's very rare to find such good service.

Use this restaurant when all the others are closed.
