The best restaurants in Merton London

me encantó este lugar, tomamos unos tragos con mis amigos, nos re divertimos, muy buena atencion, buena onda.

Excellent Pasta and good size portions , friendly staff. Pleasant surroundings and convenient location arancini very good and penne ragú tasty . Pricy at £90 with only 2 glasses of wine and shared starter and side salad .

We regularly use the hand and racquet during the week and just wanted to say how great our night was. We tried couple of sweet fruity ciders which were really good. I found the passion fruit martini flavour a little too sweet but my friend couldn't get enough. The olympics was on the telly but not overly loud or annoying. Love this pub!

After a few (or more) drinks, my husband and I were after somewhere to have a late night meal. After googling what was still open, we settled on Chutneys.We were shown to a table and given plenty of time to choose drinks and food, despite the late hour.The food was fantastic. I had a mild chicken dish (can't remember what it was called) and my husband had a whole tandoori chicken. I've never seen a dish like this in an Indian restaurant but he said it was delicious. As was the garlic naan, which was really light and not at all doughy. Really good food and friendly service.

I’m a bit baffled by some of the people here saying it isn’t good service here. I’ve been Lu-Ma with family and friends about 10 times. I’ve lived here for just over a year. I have loved the place and the atmosphere each time. Im always impressed by the service and their willingness to accommodate you even if they are fully booked and the food is just wonderful. I understand that some people have problems with the portions but I’ve always felt like there’s too much on the plate. Perhaps if going to a healthy restaurant like luma they should realise that portion control is part of controlling calories and huge portion sizes would go against their ethos. Those people ought to go to the pub opposite, and not leave ridiculous reviews for the rest of us. It’s the place where I discovered Wimbledon had its own beer and my extended family always insist they go for food every visit. I’m sad while looking for a place to take them locally this time, my number one choice is out of service, Ive found myself looking every week to check their back in business. It’s tough to find a healthy restaurant in the sea of overly greasy restaurants offering 800 kcal+ per dish. So much for tackling this countries growing obesity. I would be delighted if luma could come back.

AVOID - Dirty and unhygienic 🤢. The place needs to be steam cleaned from top to bottom. The floor is dirty. The furniture is old and dirty. Stains all over the chairs. The counter where you place the order is full of dust. 🤢 Staff have attitude; lacking customer service The female toilet is in a complete state of disrepair. There's mould on the wall and exposed pipes. The loo roll is hanging on damaged wall and there's something that looks like foam, used to block (god knows what) in the corner. Revolting 🤢. Food is appalling, not cooked with care. Cutlery is dirty. Environmental Health needs to inspect this place before they kill someone. I have passed some photos onto them.

Came in for a few drinks and was great to find out that they do 2-4-1 cocktails all night! The staff on were great and ensured we got all our drinks quickly!

Food was extremely poor and so was the customer service. I ordered the saffron risotto and it because it was the last order of the day the meal was poorly done. Family and I wouldn’t go back

Yesterday was the last day for this restaurant. I have had many happy nights here. You will be sorely missed.

£50 for rubbish, avoid. You’ll find better sandwiches and cake in the town. No gluten or diary free products so don’t bother looking at the allergy menu

We have visited this restaurant a couple of times in the last 6 months when visiting relatives. On both occasions, the food and service have been very good. Prices are comparable to other outlets in the area.

Don’t bother with Dim Sum Duck if you’re not a fan of authentic food, dedicated staff, and a lively atmosphere. Yes, the space is tight, but that’s part of its charm. And the food? Anything but mediocre—it’s exceptional. The staff are often misunderstood. Their straightforwardness is about efficiency, not rudeness. The frequently mentioned middle-aged lady works hard, and her Cantonese directness can be mistaken for discourtesy. Some reviews paint dramatic scenes, complaining about waiting rules and alleged preferential treatment. However, understanding cultural differences helps. The "all-parties-must-be-present" rule is common in many busy eateries. Dim Sum Duck offers top-notch dim sum, rivaling famous spots like Din Tai Fung, but at much more affordable prices. The staff’s dedication ensures everything runs smoothly in the bustling environment. So, if you appreciate authentic Cantonese cuisine and enjoy a vibrant dining experience, Dim Sum Duck is definitely worth the wait.

Atmospheric restaurant, short waiting time for dishes.

Attraversando le porte rosse e oro e immergiti in un altro mondo, in un'altra cultura. Nel cuore di Londra, nel quartiere di Soho, un quartiere non molto grande, ma ricco di offerte gastronomiche e bancarelle, supermercati dove puoi acquistare prodotti alimentari per la cucina cinese. Atmosfera tipica orientale, non ci siamo fermati a mangiare perché a nostro parere un po' caretta, ma assolutamente da visitare, sempre molto popolata. Visitare China town significa trovarsi contemporaneamente in due diversi paesi.

Lovely atmosphere, but the waitress looked like she couldn’t be bothered, a few drink options weren’t available and was a bit pricey. I had a Pad Thai it lacked flavour but plenty of it. I wouldn’t return, we did have to wait a while and there was only the two of us, it. We did see the take away side is prioritised over the restaurant. Wished I’d read more reviews before going.
