What an amazing restaurant to eat at the food was out of this world looking forward to the next time I recommend the fish platter and the Cornish crab for a starter
I just love this place from the decor to the helpful staff and the food is superb.
The fillet steak is one of the best I have had ....and it is half price ( steaks) on a Monday.
unfortunately I am moving from Croydon to Essex soon and I may not be able to return but if I am in the area then I will definitely make a visit to Aqua
Best place around, food was amazing (proper portion) service was great and just a lovely vibe all round.
Defenetly wil come again every chance i get.
Great place. Love the food and the staff are excellent. Also go to the one in Bromley
We celebrated my husband and his cousins birthday over the weekend. It was 22 of us and the food and service was exceptional. Our waiter Nick and the other staff were fab, very attentive and accommodating. We will sure be back
Been several times before but had booked a table of 4 on 3/3/18 we all ordered different starters mains and desserts and we all loved our food !! Lovely staff , clean and great food ! Washed down with a bottle of champ , we all had a perfect night thanks Aqua ! See you again soon
Fell into this place one day and turned out to be best restaurant I've been in for years. Great grub
Took a party of 28 to Aqua this evening and had an awesome time! The food was beautiful, the service was speedy and friendly and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. Lovely ��
Fantastic restaurant, great food, best staff
We spent an amazing time in Aqua. Ordered starters, dinner and lovely red wine.
The food was fresh cooked, warm and very tasty. We tried swordfish, crab and salmon.
Excellent.
Always a good night out! Love the food, staff always accommodating.

Fab food & great service. We popped in here today for lunch and were very impressed. We had the Goat's Cheese, Aubergine and Rocket to start which was lovely. I had the Prawns and Spaghetti to follow and my companion had the Swordfish, both of which were cooked perfectly. For dessert we had the chocolate pot and the pannacotta both of which i could have easily eaten twice! The service was great, we sat for a long time chatting and they were in no hurry to get rid of us. Less than £40 for the two of us (from the lunch menu), including a glass of Merlot and a bottle of spring water - great food at a great price, well worth a visit if you're down that way.

Somewhere new with a wow factor There's a new addition to the> restaurant scene in Croydon which is well worth a visit, writes> Tamasin Coates. Aqua, which opened just a few weeks ago, is the> brainchild of two highly experienced chefs, Dasos Charalambous and> Dario Nardo. Both have trained and worked in some of London's top> hotels and seized the chance to open their own restaurant when the> right premises came up in South End. They liked the look of the> contemporary-styled eaterie at 33 South End and with a few tweaks here> and there to lend just a little more sophistication, opened their> brasserie. "Our aim is to offer people a place where they can enjoy> quality food, at reasonable prices in a place where they can sit and> chill," said Dasos. And I have to say the food really is first> class. It's nothing too fancy - just simple, quality food cooked> to perfection. We tried starters of pan fried tiger prawns with> chilli, garlic, ginger and parsley (£6.95). My husband, who is a bit> of a chilli addict, was really wowed with this while I loved the> pan-seared scallops which came with really fresh and lightly cooked> asparagus. Dasos described the menu as offering 'modern European> cuisine' and you will find a good choice of everything from steak> with beef which has been dry aged for 28 days (served with hand-cut> chips, tomatoes Provencal, béarnaise or peppercorn sauce) to roasted> sea bass and monkfish tails. We plumped for two of our favourites -> slow braised lamb shank and parsnip mash (£11.95) and pan fried> calves liver with smoked bacon, mash and sage shallot jus (£11.50).> Now I know many restaurants will feature lamb shank but this was> something else - the meat did really fall off the bone and had the> most exquisite flavour. My husband who is more used than I to dining> out in some of London's fancier places, said one would normally pay> at least double this price for this standard of food. But don't just> take my word for it - give it a try.
Lovely atmosphere and the food was on point. Really enjoyed my platter and meal prices reasonable. They also have meal deals.
Aqua is delightful placed greek inspired bar and grill experience. I happened to be passing by and stopped for a drink but upon seeing the menu, decided the Mains were worth a try. I had the Greek Meze which definitely suitable for 2 or more. It has a great selection of meters classics with dips. For the drink I originally went it for, I went for the elderflower martini. AMAZING. A must vist lunch or dinner venue when in South end South Croydona
Not my first time here, but the food and service never disappoint!
It may be a Tuesday night, not as buzzing as it's so early in the week, but enough people to create a warm atmosphere.
A place you will always want to come to.
Great host, the food was wonderfully cooked and came in good time. I especially loved the decor and the value for money. Will recommend.
This place is a wonderful contemporary mediterranean restaurant with an interior that really makes you feel like you're on holiday. The food was extremely good, I can recommend the Jacob Ladder dish. After a busy day, this place transformed our evening into an enjoyable, relaxed one. We will certainly be back.
I've been there a few times now, and I have never been disappointed. The best restaurant I have been to in Croydon. It's really excellent, delicious food, and not overpriced. Hope they stick around
Great food and excellent customer service. Only slight downside is the interior décor is looking a little bit tired, but that's me being picky. All in all definitely worth a visit.
I was extremely apprehensive, However I must say this place was absolutely great. Service was exceptional. Wait time for food was minimal. Quality meat, the lamb was tender. I would recommend this place to anyone. I'll definitely be back.
Lush meal. 50% off on steak (paid £14 for a fillet steak!) and £20 for a 3 course meal. Got more than what we paid for! We will definitely be back to try some more. Loads to choose from!
Had the set menu which at £19 for 2 courses and £21 for 3, is for the price good value.
I chose the mussels and my friend chose the soup (leek + potato) to start. We both had the steak fritte as mains. Food was cooked well and was tasty.
The food here was great, especially the meat balls for starters and chocolate brownie desert.
Once again Aqua provided a fantastic evening: The food was amazing and the service was astounding with every course being an absolute dream and the staff so attentive and fun it was like having a meal at a friend's house!
I am a coeliac and the staff we very attentive to my requirement having the chef alter options on the menu to suit my requirement (apart from the obvious) and cooking separately to avoid cross contamination risks.
I ordered scallops to start that were cooked incredibly well, I could've just eaten the starter on repeat until full and been happy. I followed with the simple steak and chips combo again cooked superbly and finished with a crème brulé.
We will request a couple of bottles of Limóncello in advance on our next booking as we finished what they had quite quickly.
I wish Aqua continued success and hope to be booking again soon.
Place was really nice, the staff were friendly and the food was amazing, loved the steak🤤
First time finding this place and if you haven't been there yet - get there! The food was superb and the service is really REALLY good. Loads to choose from and the stuff we didn't order smelled great as being taken past us! My mixed grill looked so good I had eaten half before I took a photo! Good selection of drinks and cocktails also. Highly recommended.
Pre booked for 6 people for Saturday early dinner. Mixture of kids, elderly and middle aged people!
Lovely food- between us we had a steak, pork belly, spag bolognaise, slovaki, and salmon. Good selection of cocktails and drinks.
Service attentive but food was slow to arrive- but was worth the wait. We would return. Car park next to the restaurant.
Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go again on a Monday when the steak is half price as it's cooked perfectly to my liking. And would highly recommend the Baklava for dessert.
In a word: authentic taste. Really tasty food, you won't leave unsatisfied. Menu is great with plenty of options to choose. Been in here twice and both times 100% satisfied. Recommended.
Delicious food, a varied menu, decent portions, great customer service and very reasonable prices.
