Over priced and tatty restaurant, lovely lad waiting the tables but that’s the only positive comment. Starters was mediocre but the main… partner ordered chicken curry, ate half of it which was mostly thin pieces of chicken but then two bigger pieces of chicken has raw pink in the middle of it. Partner politely explained issue, owner/manager she was polite enough but initially didn’t see that the first piece was raw then only conceded when the second bigger raw piece was shown. My partner didn’t want a replacement and it put me off finishing my meal. The funniest part is that she went to great pains to show us that she had taken £2.75 off the bill?

We thought we 'd pop in for a quick dinner on a Friday afternoon. Huge selection of dishes to choose from but discovered that everything was more or less the same dish with a different sauce. Avoid strawberry and lemon chicken at all costs. It 's just chicken with a marmalade on top basically. Fried rice was tasteless. The restaurant itself is dark, no natural light, extremely depressing and out dated in decor. Waitress was super helpful, kind and polite. Probably the best asset of the restaurant as food and environment is definitely a con. Toilets although ok to use, were very old probably never refurbished in the last 30 yrs.

Would have given zero but not an option. Had a meal in restaurant, starters overdone. Chicken satay the smallest portion of a main meal we have ever seen, thin pieces of chicken only 6 bits of chicken not even an half inch long. Satay sauce was sparse too. A rip off. Never again.

Ordered online. No mention that they did not deliver, as i was at work in hopital, took my money and have not refunded me. Depite me calling restaurant immediately to cancel order they directed me to cancel online however there is no option to do so. Buyer beware Book a table now

Avoid this takeaway, not sure what the eat in is like but I won’t be risking it! It was really small portions, poor quality food and over cooked or possibly just reheated. I could have accepted one selection being no quite right, but it was all awful.

Food wasn’t the best. The chips were cold, the rice microwaved, the curry sauce was watery and the portion sizes are small for the prices. Only ordered as a delivery but wouldn’t go here again, very disappointed.

Terrible food and staff, the place is a mess. please avoid. The service was shocking 20 minutes for drinks and we were the only people in the place. The food was cold and the staff didn't care less.
