I have been to Chang Thai on numerous occasions and will keep on going over and over again. I have tried many dishes on the menu and so far they have all been delicious and full of flavour. All the ingredients are fresh and prepared to order. The menu is simple yet varied and the prices are really good too. The service has always been very friendly and like the relaxed atmosphere of the place. highly recommended!I have been to Chang Thai on numerous occasions and will keep on going over and over again.

Sometimes I invite people around and if we decide indian then this is the place we order from, the takeaways are just amazing, fast and really very cheap. I have ordered from them counless times and always the price and food have been well balanced in my view. I think that eating in then this isnt the best place to be and it would be better to try jaffna house which is down the road but word of warning this place usually runs out of desserts quickly so watch out and once they have been shut down due to the lack of clean.Sometimes I invite people around and if we decide indian then this is the place we order from, the takeaways are just amazing, fast and really very cheap.

The food is conventional but good Italian fair. The staff generally stay on the right side of friendly, and birthday tables are usually given a raucous 15 seconds of fame.

The pizza is better than the pasta. Prices are standard.

Ideal for one of those 'don't think too hard' meals out, especially with the family.The food is conventional but good Italian fair. The staff generally stay on the right side of friendly, and birthday tables are usually given a raucous 15 seconds of fame.

Frankie & Benny's - Frankie and Benny's by Soapy955

Whenever we go out for a meal, we always pick Frankie and Benny's!
The restaurant has such a lovely atmosphere. It's a 1950s American/Italian New York style diner. They have the old authentic music playing and booths with red plastic seats, just like you'd imagine the real thing would've been like.
The food is always gorgeous, filling and hot. I always end up asking for a box to take some home in as I can never get through a whole dinner there, the meals are so big!
My only complaint is that twice we have been waiting to be served and have seen people come in after us but be served before us. You can also wait quite a while for your meal but as I love the surroundings, it doesn't matter too much.
I also asked for a balloon to give to my daughter when we got home, and they were happy to oblige.
I highly recommend this restaurant.Whenever we go out for a meal, we always pick Frankie and Benny's!

Slurp - good value, quick and friendly by susan

This little cafe, with bench seating, is a South Wimbledon favourite of ours. Its menu is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese rice and noodle dishes served in generous portions by young and pleasant staff. Prices are very reasonable (eg £5 or £6 for a groaning plateful of chicken and vegetables with black bean sauce) and it's a great place for hungry youngsters on a limited budget. Only problem is that service is so speedy and the turnover so fast that your visit is more likely to last forty minutes than a whole evening!

We find this a welcome change from other Wimbledon restaurants and a pleasant place for some tasty Lebanese food. It's small and unpretentious with friendly staff who remember you. Our favourite food there is a selection of starters and small dishes which we prefer to the main (slightly plain) meat dishes. They often play Lebanese music on CD which helps to blot out the rather bleak urban view from the window.

The decor is modern and tasteful, not sure why there is a wooden well in the front though.

Service is very good, except for the one lady who came out and could obviously not speak a word of English. Not helpful when you are ordering drinks...

We had a starter of a vegetable spring roll each, and they brought some shoots and cucumber pieces for us too. This was very nice.

Lance had the crispy duck and I had chilli king prawns. We both ordered some noodles with bean sprouts.

My king prawns had no chilli taste AT ALL (and the menu said it was hot - 2 chilli signs next to it), they came in this very thick garlicy sauce that was quite gross actually (look at the photos). I managed to eat 4 and then could stomach no more. I usually love seafood, but the sauce put me off it totally. I filled up on the noodles.

Lance left quite a bit of the duck too. It was okay, nothing special. It was brought to him cold too. We left feeling unsated and hungry as we had left so much behind.

The place did not have that much ambiance to be honest, they played this funny music box music too, we felt flat there, and would not go again.
