Turo Turo Tooting

We've been hearing so much about Turo-Turo for quite a while and it did not disappoint. I've been to a few Filipino restaurants in London but this place hits different. The moment you step in, you're greeted with such a warm and friendly welcome, something quite elusive these days. The food was amazing, the place was relaxing and homey, and the service was absolutely impeccable! Our server, Justin was lovely and friendly and went out of his way to explain things to us, and made our stay so pleasant and comfortable. But everyone in the restaurant was so friendly. It was also lovely to have a quick chat with the owner and Chef who was so hands-on in the kitchen. We had the Beef Kare-Kare, Inasal Chicken, Ensaladang Talong, and Turon for dessert! All superb! This place's story is inspiring, and it makes so much sense to have their own space now. Will definitely be back, and looking forward to having a boodle feast next time around. Highly recommend!

Having been to Turo Turo when they first opened, I knew I wanted to have my birthday party there, so I hired out the restaurant for a Sunday afternoon party. The communication with Rex and his team was excellent, and they answered all my questions so I felt safe that the day would go smoothly. We had to pre-order from a set menu, which was good, as everyone knew what to expect. The food was amazing, and the staff attentive. Front of house, Justin, ensured that the day went without hiccup. The barman created some off menu mocktails which were delicious! And of course we had karaoke to top it off! My family and friends had a great time and we will definitely be coming back.

Been seeing Turo Turo on social media for a while now, so my friends and I decided to try their bottomless brunch / boodle fight. Food: Massive serving. Everyone’s gonna get stuffed for sure. Each food served was a delight. The chicken bbq skewers were the highlights - very juicy and flavourful. The vegetable spring rolls were fantastic as well. Wish they could have an option for Lumpia Shanghai instead but otherwise still tasty. The prawns were also alright they could have made them more buttery I guess. Also, maybe they could add another mussels to make the food options better? All the three dipping sauces were amazing too - soooo good! Overall, this is a very good Filipino boodle fight you would normally expect. Price: £45pp for bottomless drinks + boodle fight sounds really reasonable obviously because of the unlimited drinks. £39pp with just normal boodle fight may be a bit too expensive in my opinion, unless the food is also unlimited but it is not. Additionally, they also charge the 9 year old kid who wants to join the boodle fight in full amount so my friends and their daughter had to cancel joining us because of this which is a shame. Service: All the staff were lovely and the food was served quite quickly too. Justin was also accommodating. Experience: Generally, this restaurant did not disappoint. We were quite pleased with our experience and will surely come back here and absolutely recommend this to others. Improvements: When asked about drinks, initially mentioned calamansi juice was included then few minutes after they came back saying it was not included in the deal. And so my friend chose another drink which was the cranberry juice but came back again saying they run out of it. If I was the server and I knew my customer ordered two things that you said available and suddenly not, I wouldve offered her a better offer to make her feel like she was left with no options 😁 Also, for health and safety reason maybe they could stop putting the food/fruits until the guests arrived. I came there first and saw our table and other table with fruits and food with no cover in an open space and some flies were pestering on the food. This is a bit concerning for safety food standards I’d say.

Came here especially because I had been going to the pop up in Holborn and am so pleased they now have a permanent spot. The food is amazing, every dish we had was excellent. We were served by Imi who was a delight and was great with his recommendations of what to order. We will definitely be back!

The food was just ok. Overpriced. The kare-kare dish was a 2cm thick croquette of pulled ox-tail meat (with the bagoong infused inside) with 3 green beans cut in half, 2 pieces of pak choi and half a baby aubergine. The sauce wasn't enough and it would be nice if they added a small condiment pot of extra bagoong with the dish. Still worth trying though. The sisig was good, enough for 2 people to share. Their ginger bagoong chicken wings were good even though you couldn't taste the ginger or bagoong. Again, the food was just ok. Don't get the mango juice, it's just Rubicon lol. We were a party of 6, and we waited a while for our food to come. Nobody really checked up on us after we finished our meals and we had to chase staff for dessert and 1 of us ordered a coffee which also took long and we also had to chase. Don't get me wrong, I give the owner props for opening a Filipino restaurant in south, and I rate him for doing his thing. However, if you're looking for traditional authentic Filipino food, do not come here.

We came across Turo Turo on social media and HAD to try since we love Filipino food. We booked for the Bottomless Brunch Boodle Fight. It was incredible. We got to learn about the history behind Boodle Fight and what was being served on the platter as well. Since it’s bottomless you can always start small and ask for a top up whenever. The fam here are such lovely people too. We’re definitely booking another visit here and try the A La Carte menu & drinks.

The food was amazing! We had the ginger bagoong wings which were absolutely dreamy delicious. Salmon kinilaw, chicken inasal, sisig, chicken bicol express and turon. Everything was yummy! The calamansi mojitos were great too. I loved the very friendly, casual and quick service. The manager Imi was very fun and attentive. If we lived close, we'd be regulars there. Definitely recommend this place.

Me and my partner heard about Turo Turo through positive reviews on social media so thought we would make the one hour journey by car to come and see for ourselves by having dinner at the restaurant. The car journey was worth it as all the food we ordered was delicious. The taste, spice levels and presentation of the food were excellent. The authenticity makes you feel as if you are in the Philippines. A hidden gem of a restaurant in South London. Highly recommended for Filipino food enthusiasts. P.S.
