What Clients Are Saying Idea Kitchen (GG)
5 /5 Liam Smith: I always use reviews to gauge the metric from somewhere this place ticked all the boxes.
Chinese place that does fish and chips? CHECK - THEY NEVER MESS THIS UP.
Chinese place with a review from someone who is actually from China that calls it authentic? DOUBLE CHECK.
Yep, needless to say, I shut my eyes and placed an order for 50 quids worth of food to try as much as possible with my Mum as I lived in Hong Kong years ago and there arent many places that are doing good Cantonese food (because in the UK we are very used to a specific taste with Chinese food so they all do the same thing regardless where they are from, even though most will say theyre from Peking).
Absolutely phenomenal find.
Xiexie!
4 /5 PH: Excellent fish and chips from Idea Kitchen. Very nice crisp batter on the fish, cooked just right. The chips were great - nice and crisp, thick cut and not greasy, just how they should be. Good sized portions too and freshly cooked to order.
The only thing that let the meal down was the mushy peas - they had a strange unexpected and sweet taste to them which I did not enjoy and ended up binning them.
Improve the mushy peas and it would be a definite 5 star meal of fish and chips. Highly recommended if you avoid those!
5 /5 Kar Ann Chew: As a Chinese, I dont like Chinese takeaway as they arent real Chinese. But this is different - authentic (Hong Kong, Cantonese style) Chinese food. Plus the usual British Chinese. Reading other review - seems like their fish and chips let them down. Edit: Added photos after a recent order.
Edit 2: Ordered Engplant with Minced Pork (魚香茄子) a few times. Found it consistently too salty too strong flavour. Probably too much paste/sauce. @Idea Kitchen, I know restaurant/chef doesnt dont alter recipe for individual customer, but please do consider toning down this dish. Way too salty too strong.
1 /5 F N: I am not a person that always leave a review, I ordered a cheese burger for like 7/8 quid, this is what it looks like. To be honest, just by it looks and how thin it is, I am really disappointed, and there isn’t any sauce or flavour, what I can taste is just the oily texture of the meat. I would not visit again.
Ab Ab Good food good size portion. However I wouldn’t say ‘gourmet’. If you’re looking for reasonable burger place to fill a hole and doesn’t break the bank then defo this is the place. Ordered the tikka combo, hot dog jalapeño , grilled Chinese wings and tikka bowl. £20 for all. Tikka combo was the best part. Too much cheese sauce on the tikka bowl for my liking. Hot dog wasn’t anything special unfortunately. And the wings for me were a let down, saw them cooking it - it was grilled wings then chucked into a bag with sauce added and mixed. They could’ve put the sauce on the grill with sesame seeds to give it that authentic taste. Overall first time wasn’t bad, will try again and see how it is again. Service 3/5 due to they forgot my wings and had to wait another 15mins.
Esha Masood I had a really nice experience at this Chaiwala Wokingham road Reading. The food was delicious and fresh, and the overall customer satisfaction was excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming — especially the girl (Prabh) working there, she was polite, helpful, and made the experience even better with her great customer service.
I truly enjoyed the food and the warm atmosphere. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely visit again!
Tharunreddy .Kunduru I had a great experience at Biryani Lounge! The food was absolutely delicious — especially the biryani. You can really taste the spices and flavors in every bite. The portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and hot.
The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the place felt clean and comfortable. It’s a great spot whether you’re eating in or grabbing takeout. If you’re a fan of Indian food (or just love good food in general), this place is definitely worth trying.
Mark Vernon Really nice food in very reasonable portions. Chicken balls were schmaltzy and identifiably chicken not reconstituted. Sauces were great especially honey and chilli crispy beef.
Hiten Gohill This place is Exceptional and amazing. Food was out of this world kinda taste. Veggie foods and South Indian foods. Staff members Renuka and Sabin were outstanding and courteous in their service to my family. The food presentation was good. Hot and tasty when served. Only found out of this place via their face book feeds on my profile. That’s when I decided to try them out. Highly recommend this place to all for your good times when in Lower earley. Highly rate their foods. Specially the veggie options. Too good. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed! Kudos to the team for having and running this wonderful Indian Resturant. Extremely happy for this visit with my family.
