Aqua Mediterranean Meze Bar and Grill 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. Aqua Brasserie Croydon They liked the look of the contemporary-styled eaterie at 33-35 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…

After visiting back in February, I booked out the private room for a special birthday and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The booking was for 25 people. I was able to decorate the space beforehand and drop off the cake the day before....We pre-ordered all of the food from a party menu which was £32pp for 3-courses. The duck salad starter was delicious! There were some lovely choices of dishes and the restaurant was organised when bringing out the food. The food was good and the atmosphere was great. One of the waitresses, Alessia was so great. She was very sweet and professional but also fun and was singing along with us as we partied as well as doing her job, She made our evening! All round, a fab night loved by all who attended. The restaurant couldn’t do enough for us all. Would definitely recommend - very well run business with great food, great atmosphere. Thank-you Aqua for a very fabulous evening!More

Fantastic menu and service - came away very full and exploding with flavours!
We ordered (2 adults, 1 child): spaghetti with prawns, goats cheese with braised aubergine, garlic bread (the latter from kids menu), then Jacob’s ladder, Spaghetti with crab and spaghetti Bol (latter from...kids menu)
All very delicious and the service was excellent. If we find ourselves in Croydon again, will definitely be booking ourselves in again 👍🏻More

I visited Aqua with a group of friends for a birthday. Everything was amazing from the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the brilliant, attentive staff. I chose 3 courses from their set menu (mon-thurs) and was very impressed. The manager, Kush couldn’t do enough...for us and was very accommodating. The pork belly was really nice. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend. Thank-you!More

Really good evening, good food and service lovely cocktails, not cheap but around normal for the area, 2 areas to improve, buy a better quality prosecco rose for 31pd a bottle (vinegary), and the baileys creme brulee was more like coffee, not baileys taste, but...otherwise lovely and would definitely return.More

I have been going to Aqua Croydon for YEARSSSS.
Today was just a casual evening with my Partner and it was a toss up between Nandos or Aqua.
Aqua won being local (literally walking distance from home) and I have never regret a decision like...I have today.
Starters took a while, but ok fair enough. I ordered tiropitakia (feta and spinach pastry) it was freezing cold as if it had been served out the freezer.
Replacement was given. Came out PIPING hot.
It took a further 45mins for the mains to arrive considering the restaurant had about 5 people, with no communication as to why it was taking so long or apology for the wait -food was tasteless.
Strawberry Daiquiri - tasted off, again tasteless.
Overall, really disappointed. Sad to say.More

The staff were welcoming and attentive but the food was bad.
I love calamari for starters, when it arrived it was just eight tiny tasteless rings. My brother ordered the prawns and got 3 sorry looking small prawns for £11!!!
The mains were no better....We had a meat platter and a fish platter. Not tasty or fresh!
Our waiter was lovely and kept on asking if the food was ok. We didn’t have the heart to say it wasn’t. We just won’t be going back there again!More
