  “I came here with my Nigerian friends to show them my cultural food. Usually this place is good, fast and delicious but over the years I’ve heard from others that it’s gone down hill but I still took a chance to see what it’s like. As soon as we entered the shop we could tell something was off. The man looking unbothered on his phone and a weird smell coming from the kitchen. when we ordered we got quite a rude response from the man when we politely asked a question about the portions, but we still ordered anyways. After ages of waiting for our food, we finally got it but unfortunately had to get takeaway due to the long, unexpected wait, knowing we had somwhere to be. As soon as we got home (mind you the house is very quick so it wouldn’t get soggy), it still did, considering this place specialises in paratha I felt concerned for this business because in all of the years of my life I have never had such an appalling paratha. I felt embarrassed as my friends were extremely disappointed with this meal and I felt as they think my cultural food is bad. What a shame…”

  “I’ve been to Paratha Inn many times now and it never disappoints! I usually get the chana masala and honestly, it’s SO yummy definitely the best I’ve had, period. The parathas are huge, freshly made and delicious, and everything always tastes really fresh and full of flavour. The customer service is consistently great too everyone is always friendly and welcoming whenever I go in. I’m definitely a repeat customer and will keep coming back because I value food places that stay consistent. If you’re looking for fresh, tasty food and proper parathas, I highly recommend Paratha Inn. Also a fan of the chicken tikka roll! 😋”

  “This place has gone down hill, nothing good anymore Pratthas are really bad cheaply maid compare to when first opened, omelettes are not good either. Staff are unbothered, and don’t care if you ask for your food or how long will take you get rude answers. I used to go regular, however not anymore. Better options available like Lahore Spices in Sutton and more cost effective as well good service. I wish the owners took more accountability and cared how this locations its being run.”

  “I used to really like this place. The food has always been consistently good, and earlier the staff were professional and welcoming. However, recently the experience has changed quite a bit. Since the restaurant became more popular, it feels like the owner may have left things to untrained staff. The service quality has dropped noticeably. What was especially disappointing was being charged extra for a very small portion of pickle. For regular customers, something so minor could at least be handled with a bit of courtesy. When we asked about it, instead of a polite response, the staff member rudely placed (almost threw) the pickle on the table. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and takes away from an otherwise good dining experience. Good food alone isn’t enough—customer service and basic respect matter just as much. I hope they address this soon.”

  “Found this place while deciding on what to eat tonight, and thought it might be a little twist on a usual Indian or Bangladesh food. Since I love Parathas and Khati rolls I thought I’d give it a try. Boy was I glad I did! What can I say about the food? One word: Amazing I had the Tikka Rice Bowl, the chicken paratha wrap, and samosa. I was excited to try this and it didn’t disappoint. The tikka rice bowl is so full of flavour with a spicy kick too. The paratha wrap also full of flavour and the cucumber was very sweet and fresh. The samosa to me is more like a Pakistani type of samosa, 1 large samosa also very flavour full. This place is not a hit or miss kind of place, all the food is on point, and it’s obvious that the chef knows what they are doing. I thought twice about writing a review as I think if found what I will describe as a “diamond in the rough”, but credit where it’s due… the food here is incredible.”

  “I've been going to the Paratha Inn over the past few weeks to get their Doodh Patti Chai (traditional cooked Indian tea) which is very nice. Today, I had some time and tried the option 2 meal: Paratha, omelette, shami kebab with chai. Freshly cooked, filling and tasty. I really enjoyed it and it set-up me up nicely for venturing back out into the freezing cold weather!! Thanks to Nabeel and his colleagues for a good service.”

  “Undoubtedly the best place for Pink Chai, the pink chai is creamy, full of nuts and feels like a warm blanket. I have been here repeatedly for the pink chai. I have also eaten here and the paratha’s are soft and flakey and the masala chips are on point.”

  “Interesting place serving parathas, chicken rolls, chai, etc. at reasonable prices. I went for 1 of the all day breakfast combos that included plain paratha, omelette, shami kebab and chai. It was quite filling and the paratha was crispy but slightly bland. Out of the items I found the chutney, omelette and chai most delicious. The shami kebab was not that tasty. I would like to try the chicken rolls and stuffed parathas next time when I get a chance. Recommended.”

  “Just had the pleasure of visiting Paratha Inn in Croydon, and it’s safe to say this place is a game-changer for the local food scene! 🎉 Paratha Inn brings a slice of South Asian comfort to the heart of Croydon. With another branch in Streatham, they’re clearly onto something special! We indulged in a variety of dishes:: Paratha and Channay with Lassi Classic Paratha and Omelette combo Shami Kebab paired with Mango Lassi Aloo and Cheese Parathas Kashmiri and Karak Chai Chicken Tikka Rice Masala Chips Refreshing Nimbu Pani The channay stole the show with its perfect blend of spices. The shami kebab was a close second, offering a burst of flavours with each bite. But the real surprise? The cheese paratha - a simple yet indulgent treat that left us wanting more. Don’t miss out on their beverages! The pink Kashmiri tea was a visual and taste sensation, while the nimbu pani provided the perfect refreshing counterpoint to the rich food. Paratha Inn nails the vibe with its cool, contemporary decor. It’s the ideal spot for a casual lunch or a relaxed evening with friends, bonding over steaming cups of chai. It’s refreshing to see a wide array of halal and vegetarian options in Croydon. As someone who grew up in this area, it’s exciting to witness the culinary landscape evolve with quality establishments like Paratha Inn. Paratha Inn has been on my radar since they opened, and I’m thrilled to say it lived up to the anticipation. It’s more than just a meal - it’s a taste of home and heritage, served with a modern twist. Whether you’re a Croydon local or just passing through, make sure to give Paratha Inn visit - recommend!”

  “Giving this place full 5 stars because of the quality of food, service and location. We had a great experience and will be definitely going there again. We went there for a Saturday brunch without a reservation. No problem getting a table. The food was very tasty and flavoursome! If you want authentic Indian food this is the place for you. We tried lassi, they were yummy! Love their aloo parathas! If you like spicy food their peri peri chicken roll has got the kick! Friendly staff with great knowledge of food. Please bear in mind this place has a sitting area for about 25 people so it might be full at peak times. Highly recommend this place!”
