The best restaurants serving Asian food in Sutton London

Many years ago my employment took me to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) and I was fortunate at that time to see much of the Island. Now living in leafy Shropshire there are limited opportunities to sample such a colourful cuisine as that served by Colombo Kitchen. A birthday celebratory dinner for my daughter provided just the right occasion. Accompanied by my wife we all arrived early in the evening and observed that the restaurant was already busy. Once comfortably settled at our reserved table we ordered aperitifs of Colombo Sunrise cocktails and Lion lager, before the serious matter of reading through the extensive menu. The first food to appear was a Sharing Platter (vadai, cutlets, rolls and patties), which was followed by mains of Mutton Curry, Devilled King Prawns and Chicken Kottu. Steamed spiced Basmati and saffron rice complemented the dishes. Desserts were Kiri Kithul (yoghourt) and fried honey pineapple. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their chosen dishes and I was able to indulge and appreciate a return to the tastes of the "Island of Serendipity". The Colombo Kitchen menu offers interesting and wide ranging choices that cater for all palates amidst clean and atmospheric surroundings and first class service. Hopefully, it will not be too long before I am able to make a return visit. Recommended.

Super food in a modest place. We go at least once a month , for years. Always good. We have been all through SE Asia , going to KL , just for satay. Noodle house food is so good Ignore those precious souls , complaining ," cash only "! Don't come! It's popular enough ,xxx

This is second time I’ve been to this restaurant, the food and atmosphere is authentic. Good value for money and the staff are always friendly.

Had a lovely meal at Akash! The food was delicious, and everything we ordered came out perfectly. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. Would definitely come back for the chicken curry!

One of the best food spots in Sutton. Food taste amazing especially the chilli stir fried chicken set

My family had been excited to see what the fat crab was all about . So it was a promise to visit there with my family. First to have a takeaway and come back later for dinner if we see the staff were friendly. To our surprise the snow crab we ordered 39 pounds and the source was outrageous. It was so salty you could actually taste the suspended salt at the bottom of the plate. The powered peper and the muxed herbs could be tasted individually. We ended up binning the source. The crab legs were all bony. As a matter of we fact we were at the verge of returning the meal and just leave. Our experienced with the meal was horrible. Very disappointing for the kind of charge the meal cost.

Visited with my family and a relative on visit. Had a nice dinner. We ordered seafood stew, pork kimchi stew, prawn tempura udon soup, Chimibab ( similar to Katsu chicken with rice and mayo instead of curry sauce ) and of course fried chicken coated in sweet and spicy sauce. Service was great. The gentleman serving us was very friendly, I’m guessing he is the owner. It was a very cold evening, my son and I arrived first and they offered us straight away some complimentary hot roast corn tea which was very kind. Only thing I don’t like about this place is the 10% service charge to your order. The portions are not big for the price. It’s not cheap with the stew costing between £12-15. Bab Bab doesn’t come across as a restaurant, more of a cafe style hence the 10% service charge is not quite justified. But the dishes are tasty especially the fried chicken. Would recommend Bab Bab but be prepared to pay.

Best Indian I've had in ages Attention to flavour is outstanding

Great food and attentive staff. Food cooked to order so not quick to the table, but personally prefer that. We didn’t feel rushed, even though steady flow of customers throughout the evening. Explanation of menu given when needed. Food was delicious,

First time ordered. Quick delivery. Huge portion of chicken and loads of rice. Really tasty and did for two meals. Very good quality and would recommend.

Bought kothu rotti, worst food I have ever had in my life

Popped in to see if they had vegetarian options. It was really difficult to communicate because noone spoke English. But the man pointed out food with no meat. So I ordered a few items. When I got outside and ate a snack it had meat in so I returned and he didn't care at all. He just stared at me. I was unhappy but I went again another time and again noone spoke English behind the till. I realised there was a man sitting inside talking in English so I asked him if he worked there. He said yes what's the problem. And I just asked again. He was able to show me the vegan options. And this time the food was delicious and all vegan. Thankfully. The food is lovely and the price is good. It's just really hard to communicate unless the boss is there.
