The best restaurants in Taunton Lyngford Taunton Deane South West

I was on a business trip today, left the house early and was looking for a snack, passed this cafe but had my dog in his backpack, immediately they welcomed us in and the staff were AMAZING. My dog is elderly, been poorly but they made such a fuss of him and gave him a treat which he loved. I ordered a coffee & toastie, both of which were made to perfection, just how I like it. Genuinely thee nicest, friendly, happy staff, made our morning and set us up for the day. I can’t recommend enough and we will definitely be a returning customer when we’re in the area again. Thank you.

Really nice and tasty sushi… didn’t find yet a better place than here !

Extremely friendly staff, soon they will become your family❤️

Proper oldschool 'greasy spoon', cheap, cheerful and staff are very friendly. Cleanest greasy spoon cafe I've ever been to. Granted it's not fine dining however the food's good -- my only suggestion is I wish they'd butter the burger buns. Rapid service too, food came piping hot within 10 mins of ordering. Going in here is like stepping back in time, the sort of place your Nan would take you as a kid. 10/10 Edit: I went for the half pounder burger meal but didn't want side salad, so the waitress asked if I wanted beans in lieu free of charge, you don't get service this good in Mcdonalds Edit #2: Gutted to hear that this place closes permanently tomorrow 20/12/24 after 40 years. Taunton will lose an icon and I wish the staff the best of luck and the owners a very happy retirement.

We have now eaten with them 4-5 times. Every single time the food is excellent. Starting to question why we would ever go anywhere else. Great food.

Jude waited on us and had us out drinks, napkins , sugar free syrup and anything else that wasn't on the Buffet .

Great Atmosphere and Cocktails. Friendly team and always made to feel welcome.

Very nice food, good selection.

Great Chinese food, still top quality and no MSG.

I stop here regularly and it’s always great. I love the eclectic style and ambiance of this little place. Without doubt it’s my favourite station stop off. Tea and coffee always good and no extra charge for oat milk which is much appreciated. Called in today to find a customer shouting at a member of staff. Totally unnecessary. Hospitality workers work hard and deserve to be acknowledged and respected. Thank you for always being kind and polite when I pop in. I look forward to my visits.

Very friendly welcoming staff. It was extremely busy, but service was quick & efficient. The food is excellent quality & value for money. (Drinks were a little more pricey) We are already planning our next visit

Superb food and staff! I came alone on a Thursday and had the banquet deal (3 items for £19.95). Superb value. It’s the third time I’ve been and I’d highly recommend it. You also get discount for collecting takeaways

So overpriced these days compared with other fast food places. Didn't have some items didn't have BBQ meat balls, didn't have anything other than pepsi max in the drinks machine. Was pretty dead inside and service was slow

Definite try !!!!! you're craving authentic Kerala cuisine, this takeaway is a must-try! Their Kerala meals (oonu) were absolutely delicious and felt just like a hearty, home-cooked feast. The package included perfectly cooked fish fry, a rich and flavorful fish curry, and traditional sides like thoran, aviyal, and chammandi, all bursting with authentic flavors. The fluffy egg omelet was the perfect addition to round out the meal. The food was neatly packed, still warm when I got home, and every dish was fresh and satisfying. It truly felt like a taste of Kerala brought straight to my table. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a homely, flavorful Kerala meal! Beyond the oonu, they offer an amazing variety of dishes, including authentic Kerala biriyani, naychorr with beef, aromatic mandhi, and much more. Their menu truly captures the essence of Homely Kerala’s culinary diversity, making it a go-to spot for anyone craving traditional flavors. Highly recommend it for a delicious, comforting meal!

Fabulous hotel. Centre of town. New restaurant and excellent service. In the hotel too so no walking over to the dreary brewers Fayre anymore.
