I’ve visited so many Bromley restaurants over the years, but some have really stood out as some of the best the borough has to offer.
From award-winning Indian restaurants to freshly made pasta – I’m rounding up my top five restaurants in Bromley and why I think they’re worth a visit.
iNaga
Located in Coney Hall in West Wickham, iNaga is a family-run Bangladeshi restaurant run by Abdul Hay, serving up food created by head chef Ruhal Rahman.
Over the years, the restaurant has bagged a number of awards, including at the Asian Curry Awards and best chef at the Curry Life Awards.
iNaga specialises in north and south Indian food, with dishes including Salmon Tikka, Lamb Naga, and Murgh Amdani.

Why it’s worth a visit
If you’re looking for good quality, comforting Indian food with a serving of hospitality, iNaga really is the place to go.
The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and despite being busy, food is served quickly and in generous portions.
They serve one of the best chicken tikkas I’ve ever tasted, and the restaurant does a lot of community and charity work for the local area, so if you want to support a business that “gives back,” this is it.
Remoli
Located in The Queen’s Garden, Remoli is a family-owned franchise with several restaurants in London, including Bromley, which opened in 2024.
The restaurant was created by Simone Remoli, who wanted to offer good quality pasta to Londoners.
Remoli serves fresh pasta that caters to different dietary needs.
Diners can curate their own pasta dish, choosing the pasta type, sauce, and cheeses.
Alongside the pasta, they also serve pizza using a traditional biga pre-ferment process for an authentic Roman-style crust.

Why it’s worth a visit
Out of all the restaurants in Bromley, Remoli is definitely the one I visit the most because I can tailor my pasta to exactly what I’m craving.
They also have delicious side dishes and desserts, including Crocchette Nduja and classic tiramisu.
The restaurant is spacious, with comfy booths and an open bar if you fancy a cocktail or two. It’s well situated near the cinema and theatre, making it my go-to for an Italian meal in Bromley.
Cinnamon Culture
Located in Chislehurst High Street, Cinnamon Culture is an independent Indian restaurant that has been going strong for more than 15 years.
The restaurant offers a fine dining Indian experience, created by co-founders Manpreet Dhingra and chef Jiwan Lal, who wanted to create a modern spin on Indian dining.
The restaurant serves regional Indian dishes with a contemporary twist, with dishes including tandoori ostrich fillet, pan-fried hake with aubergine salsa, and cumin-infused chocolate fondant.
The restaurant has received national recognition over the years, including mentions in National Curry Week and the Asian Curry Awards.

This restaurant is a real gem in Chislehurst.
The food is absolutely delicious, with a variety of contemporary and classic dishes.
The cocktails are some of the best I’ve had locally, offering both classic options and Indian-inspired twists.
It’s also dog-friendly, and the staff have always been incredibly welcoming on every visit.
It’s a place I honestly look forward to visiting when I’m in Chislehurst.
Bank House
Also in Chislehurst High Street, Bank House is a stylish restaurant and wine bar opened in September 2019 by Stuart Gillies, former chief executive of the Gordon Ramsay restaurant group, and his wife Cecilia.
Housed in a renovated former NatWest bank, the space keeps its historic charm, with the original bank vault converted into a wine room.
Bank House serves modern European cuisine with a British twist, using seasonal ingredients across a weekly-changing à la carte menu.
Highlights include flat iron steak with Marmite crust, hake fillet with shellfish bisque, grilled scallops, and a range of small plates and decadent desserts.
They also offer bottomless brunches on Saturdays and traditional Sunday roasts.

This is a restaurant that combines history, style, and really delicious food with a good offering of drinks from the bar.

The menu blends traditional Sri Lankan recipes with a modern twist, featuring dishes such as Hoppers (egg or plain), Jana Mutton Curry, Lamprais, Chicken Kottu Roti, and Watalappan for dessert.
