The best restaurants in Grove Kingston upon Thames London

I've used the small street food outlet located in Kingston upon Thames twice in a week. First impression is a homely atmosphere but I didn't eat inside so can't comment. The food really does look like homemade dishes. I trialled the place by using the: Too Good to go app (NB this is a genuine review, i.e. I'm not getting paid by anyone or any business! The app allows you to choose an outlet that has extra food that they might throw, instead you can order via the app for a 'surprise'* bag for a reduced cost. *You will not know what you'll get. NB if you have any allergies, check first before ordering as you might receive something you've paid for but can't eat :/) We paid £6 for a: small, tall pot of red lentil soup, a larger pot of liver and potato dish and a very delicious similar size pot of a potato, chicken and cheese dish (a bit like shepherd's pie but with chicken pieces instead of mince beef/lamb). It's interesting that they make organ meat, i.e. liver which is a good high protein meat for most people. But what about vegans and vegetarians? They make a tasty aubergine and tomato dish (and their default, red lentil soup) but note, there is a lot of oil in the dish which I would suggest to drain out before eating. When home, we made some fresh basmati rice and added the ordered dishes. It was a good-sized, hearty meal. TIP make/buy some basmati rice (its got to be basmati!) /quinoa/naan/ pitta bread/ gluten free breads/ couscous etc to eat with these dishes to make a meal of it. Two adults will be able to have a good size meal if you do this; with a little bit left for the next day's breakfast ;) NB I do not know if they do other non-meat dishes so, best to check their website.

I bought biltong from best biltong Kingston and unfortunately, it gave me severe food poisoning. Within hours of eating it, I experienced nausea, stomach cramps, and other unpleasant symptoms. I know biltong is a dried meat product, but this was clearly not stored or prepared properly. I reached out to the store to inform them, but their response was disappointing—no accountability, no offer to investigate, and no concern for customer safety. Given the risks of improperly handled meat, I’d strongly advise others to be cautious when purchasing from here. I won’t be buying from them again, and I sincerely hope they take food safety more seriously in the future. EEF 🙏

A lovely little cafe with nice views over the River Thames. There was generally a pleasant ambience and the coffee was good and fairly priced. Its the location that gives it that extra

The garlic bread was as good as any I have ever tasted and the black spaghetti with king prawns, up to the standard I would expect in a high end Italian restaurant. The prices were reasonable for the high standard quality of food I had, plus the service and pleasant atmosphere/decor - just icing on the cake. Can't wait to go back there in the new year!

Such a lovely place and the manager is very nice ♥️

The best pizza shop in Kingston. Do try definitely. Great service by Palli ji

been coming since 2018 and will forever be my favourite 💞💞 and the staff are wonderful (highly recommend the chicken katsu)

Fantastic. We had the meze and it was superb - the (not so) little plates kept coming with treat after treat. The roast cauliflower was especially delicious. The meze for 2 was extremely filling and gave a good sample of many differnt things.

Nice churros with reasonable price. Loved it !

One of the most beautiful spots in London!!! Go and visit...

The driver was very rude and had no manners of talking. He was abusing.

It's was my partners birthday we had a table of twelve the servis was first class Lee looked after us everything was perfect. That's why I eat at bills when I want top service and food.

Amazing spot by the river! The food is delicious and authentically Bavarian, with a great selection of beers. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. We love coming here for different occasions. Highly recommend for a great meal or casual drinks!

Me and my darling bestie popped in after a long day of shopping and had the loveliest time thanks to Jill ❤️ service was amazing and cocktails were spectacular, our experience was beautiful! Xoxo Kika & Elise xoxO
