Machan is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Sri Lankan cuisine in London. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant's decor, adorned with traditional Sri Lankan elements, creates an authentic and cozy atmosphere
What can i say to do this restaurant justice.
First thing yes its all delicious what are you doing still reading this get down there!
I didn't take many photos as I was too busy eating and enjoying every bite.
So me and my wife were there for our wedding anniversary and been wanting to try this p
It was quiet and the service was great. The recommendation was good. The food was very good. I personally don't like my plates cleared until I have finished eating I feel like they are trying to rush you to leave. So that was the only downside
I don't have words to express how deeply satisfied I was with my food. It tasted delicate yet strong, spicy but not overpowering, balanced and deliciously beautiful. I was upset that I got full up and couldn't try more dishes. Factoring in the absolutely reasonable prices, I cannot remember the last
Very tasty food, and big enough portions that we took half of each meal home for tea. The flavours were just a little bit 'polite' compared to dishes we've had in Sri Lankan cafes but this would be a good restaurant to introduce someone to Sri Lankan food.
In the heart of Croydon, a Sri Lankan restaurant, from the outside it did not suggest anything good, in reality, a really charming, clean and well-kept restaurant. short waiting times. GREAT FOOD really tasty. reasonable prices. Really courteous staff also very friendly manger. bathrooms clean
Very tasty food at this cosy Sri Lankan. All of our dishes were great tonight. I would particularly recommend the fish curry and prawn curry, the welling pork too. Very delicate in the cooking and flavour combos, not overpowering.
The staff were very friendly to us, particularly as we made a few mi
Walked past this restaurant so many times telling myself I would try it one day. Yesterday was finally the day and now I'm so mad myself for not going sooner! Everything I ate was 10/10 and I went with a big group so luckily was able to try a lot of dishes. So many flavours and good spice, lovely co
Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff and INCREDIBLE food at great prices. One of my favourite restaurants in all of London. We went here for my partner’s birthday lunch with his family and not only was the food spectacular, but they went above and beyond to accommodate us having a cake, making frothy
So glad to have this restaurant in South Croydon. The food is incredible with an excellent varied menu. Spicy, flavoursome and authentic! The beautiful presentation and tableware also adds to the experience. Service is great and attentive and helpful.
Superb food, pleasant service and really nice decor make for a great dining experience. I hope the word gets round as this is a quality restaurant with a solid chef in the kitchen, in an area which lacks good food. Many vegan options which is a big plus! Loved the lotus root dish, absolutely stunnin
Arrived early, so waited outside with a drink, and they were perfectly happy for us to do this, then they called us when table was ready. I couldn't make my mind up about what to have and the staff member serving us was so helpful and allowed me to taste the sauce of the dish I was thinking of, t
Truly wonderful Sri Lankan food. They managed to capture the homely, family style of Sri Lankan cooking that I had always enjoyed from my grandmother with modern and high end cuisine. I would particularly recommend the Isso Wade, the fish curry of the week and any of the original and interesting coc
My husband booked Machan for our 7 year anniversary meal. Having two under 5, we decided a late afternoon booking would be best and booked for 2pm. We had the restaurant to ourselves and it was great. The music was wonderful. The cocktails... strong and sweet.
The food! Oh, the food... was exceptio
We are from Canterbury and were visiting friends in Croydon when we pit stopped here for food randomly and, what a pit stop it was. Amazing flavours, great menu choices, genuine service and, great value for money ...undoubtedly, this restaurant is why we miss London open in Canterbury 5 happy custo
Had an absolutely delicious meal here last night. Three of us shared the beef, lamb, tuna, crab, potatoes, one of the veggie dishes, a couple of rotis and some rice. Everything was exceptional. On top of that, the service was fantastic. Everyone was really attentive and couldn't do enough for us. I
Amazing ! Food 10/10 , staff 10/10 , Atmosphere 10/10, if there were 10 stars to give on Google I would give Machan Kitchen 10 ! Their food is divine and delicious! Recommend the kothu and mutton rolls ! They are willing to accommodate spice tolerance for those who can't 😀 service was great, staff f
One of the most spectacular places of Asian cuisine out there. A welcoming atmosphere that feels like a second home. Their starters are top notch and the dishes are so perfectly cooked and spiced, particularly the venison, fish, goat and wild boar! The staff are very professional and extremely frien
