The best restaurants in Norbiton Kingston upon Thames London

The food is very good. Really tasty & freshly cooked. The garlic chilli paneer & naan are exceptional. What's needed is a bit of finesse - the piped soft rock music is awful, the decor needs a rethink & a mint / chocolate at the end is an easy touch.

Excellent food, nicely seasoned, not over-sauced, well presented and very reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Spacious surroundings.

This is an amazing local restaurant, where you can sit and enjoy the small but charming busy street right outside. The food is excellent, and as I live close by I go here 2-3 times a week. The price vs food is nice where you truly feel you get your money's worth. In addition their customer service is sincere and easy to chat with, I highly recommend this place for everyone who wish for a diverse and enjoyable meal. Ps. my favourite is their pancake breakfast and chicken ciabatta sandwich! Best regards, the Norwegians <3

Really good. tasty. Lovely fresh ingredients. Will definitely buy again. Great find! (Cajun chicken, spicy pepperoni and garlic bread with cheese)

We had the pan fried mix kebab and it was beautiful!! The portion sizes are insane and you get so much value for money - i think this is the best kebab in kingston

I've shopped here for several years and the main thing about this place is the friendliness of the staff. Although it's not cheap I will keep going here simply because of the staff.

I did pass by on this road and discover this beaty …. This coffee bar is hidden Inside the Antiques Shop of Kingston…. I felt in love with the “Vegan Croissant” and the coffee made with passion from the the owner….. I highly recommend this place if you like a corne of relax in Kingston

The place is somewhat unnoticeable from outside. But once you come in you discover a fantastic selection of brownies in many flavours. They’re moist and melting in your mouth. Yay! Their Marcha Latte was made properly. The coffee my other half tried was decent. They also have a good selection of light meals like toasts and ice cream etc. but I can’t comment on these as I haven’t tried.

Spent a wonderfully fun and entertaining afternoon at Bone Idyll gin school , via a ‘ Buy a Gift voucher given to us by our son. After a welcome G&T we each set about creating our own personalised gins . It was a unique and interesting experience , weighing all the botanicals and heating them in our own individual stills . Whilst we were doing this we were treated to a selection of Bone Idylls’ gins, vodka and rum as well as snacks and a palette cleansing gin cocktail . We were also given a good compilation of facts and info about gin production . There is a real sense of satisfaction , at the end of the afternoon , in thinking up a name for your own gin , which is then bottled , sealed and labelled for you to take home - after you have sampled it of course ! A fabulous afternoon was had by all , with absolutely no pressure to purchase other products etc ( Although we did !) Very highly recommended .

Certainly good after a few pints

The food was excellent and the waiter gave us great suggestions. I live in Central London, but would travel back to Norbiton just to eat here!

5/5. Menu is incredible- we couldn't decide what to pick!!! Food was really good and had the almond Tiramisu dessert cocktail... wow. Chef's kiss! Definitely returning to try the desserts!!!

Delicious food and friendly service! This family run takeaway offers freshly cooked Chinese favourites with very reasonable prices. The owners have been in the restaurant business for over 50 years and it shows. For our first visit, we kept it simple - Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls, Beef Chow Mein, Chicken Chow Mein and Prawn Crackers. The food was absolutely delicious, meat was tender, not too spicy or salty and a fair portion size. We shall definitely be returning to order more! Well done!

Review written on 7 October 2021: I have been a customer of AtariYa in Kingston for many years ever since the shop originally opened, but my visit yesterday with a friend was most disappointing. In fact, we were so disgusted that we walked out. My friend and I were both wearing masks. I have a Japanese family and I have lived, worked and travelled widely in Japan for over 45 years and have friends who run top quality sushi restaurants in Tokyo and Narita so I do know proper Japanese food. My first disappointment was the lack of sushi Bento boxes. Previously, there has always been a really good selection of excellent quality all freshly made but on this visit there was very little on display and all looking rather dull. Apart from the lack of stock, possibly caused by the present worldwide delivery problems, I was disappointed to see items which appeared to be Japanese but were not actually made in Japan. That is extremely misleading. Inspection of some of the nori seaweed packets showed that they were produced in China, similarly, some items in the freezer which were made in Vietnam. I asked the male fishmonger (not Japanese) behind the sashimi counter about this but got no answer. Of course it is not impossible to produce good quality food which is not made in its original country but I go to a Japanese food shop to buy genuine Japanese food, not food produced somewhere else. I do not eat anything from China because I do not trust their production methods due to at least one scandal in Japan involving the use of pesticides on imported Chinese products. At the sashimi fish counter at the rear of the shop there seemed to be a much smaller selection than there used to be. I ask the male fishmonger, in Japanese, for a particular fish but he didn't understand me so I repeated just the name of the fish (shime saba) and he did point to the correct fish. However, although he was wearing a mask, it was pulled down, thus exposing his nostrils. A female staff member then appeared, also wearing a mask but also not covering her nose. I asked both of them why their masks were not correctly positioned but they just smiled (I don't know why) and pulled the masks up to cover their noses but it was too late. I told them that it was disgusting to be breathing all over raw fish while the Covid pandemic is still continuing but there was no proper reply from either. These two staff members were not Japanese and the very nice Japanese gentleman who has always previously run the fish counter was not present. Two English men then came in and looked at the sushi bento items but neither was wearing a mask even while leaning over the products. The products were in plastic boxes but that is not the point. It is absolutely unimaginable that any Japanese person, either customer or staff, would lean over any food, particularly raw food, in a virus pandemic without wearing a proper mask. In Japan, staff who are preparing food in public view normally wear masks, gloves, hats and a proper uniform but, of course, this is England. I absolutely cannot imagine what Japanese people think of such low standards. I complained once before about the poor attitude of an English staff member in this shop and received an apology from AtariYa. Obviously, poor hygiene is even more important so I will be writing again to the AtariYa management. It is very important that shops purporting to be Japanese do actually give a proper good impression of their products. Very few non-Japanese people have any idea what real Japanese food is and what I saw in the shop yesterday was simply not acceptable. Other reviewers on this site have made similar criticisms. I will never go to this shop again. Nor will my friends.
