Sambas Kitchen - (Near Berkshire, london)

Sarah Kelly Ria was an absolute delight as a server. The food was delicious. We had a guest with two allergies and she was very attentive and careful to make sure we had the best experience. The food and drinks were great. I had the meatballs all a vodka which were terrific. Portions were generous. The pizza was also delicious.

The Foodie Compass An absolutely brilliant meal at Chilis South Indian & Asian Restaurant on Kings Walk in Reading. If you are a fan of authentic spicing, this place is a total gem. It is one of those spots that feels like a real find, tucked away on the first floor of The Village with a warm, bustling atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome. Excellent variety on the Indo-Chinese menu, which is a fantastic addition to the more traditional South Indian fare. I usually go for the Gobi Manchurian, but this time I opted for the Chicken Manchurian. The flavours were spot on, tangy, spicy, and deeply savoury. My only tiny bit of constructive feedback would be the texture of the chicken. I was expecting it to be batter fried before being tossed in that sauce to give it a bit of crunch, and I think using thigh meat rather than breast would have made it even more succulent. That said, it was still a very tasty starter that disappeared quickly. The absolute star of the show for me was the Mutton Fry. It was sensational and exactly how I hoped it would be, cooked down until the meat was tender and the spices had intensified into a rich, concentrated coating. It was bursting with flavour and easily the best dish of the night. We also went for the Lamb Biryani, which was another high point. I loved that the aromats and spices were beautifully layered rather than just stirred together. I did find myself wishing for a few more South Indian breads like appams or hoppers to mop up the mutton fry, though I completely understand they are a bit of a logistical challenge to prepare fresh to order. However, the quality of the cooking we did have was top notch. The service was impeccable throughout our visit. The staff were incredibly kind and pleasant, with genuine smiles all around that made the evening feel special. When you consider the generous portion sizes and the high standard of the food, it represents excellent value for money. Whether you are a hardcore foodie or just looking for a solid curry, Id highlyrecommend Chilis.

Andrew Smile Great Food and a pleasant person to chat to! the Chilli Burgers are my absolute favorite.

James Hegan-Smith An excellent place with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Have been here plenty of times, the food and service is consistently very good. The menu is varied and changes frequently. They have a good selection of drinks and a decent wine list. The place itself is spread over a few rooms and over two floors. It makes it feel more cosy and intimate. This is almost certainly the best restaurant in Reading at the moment. Will continue to revisit and eat here.

JackJackJack ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a fantastic experience at Harvester Horse & Groom and it completely saved our evening after a very disappointing meal at Village Hotel Bracknell. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. We’d booked a table and were taken to a lovely, cosy corner which was perfect for our family. Our server, Sophie, was absolutely superb, attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, efficient, and so helpful. She took the time to explain the kids’ options (including off-menu choices) and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. She is an absolute credit to the team. The kids’ meals were fantastic value for money and really generous portions. I had the tandoori chicken skewer with red peppers, onion, flatbread and jalapeño tzatziki, with sage and onion fries, honestly delicious. And the salad bar… wow. Every main comes with free, refillable salad bowls, and this is no sad plate of lettuce. There’s lettuce, yes, but also olives, bread rolls, pasta salad, potato salad, rocket, coleslaw, olive oil, balsamic, everything was fresh and full of flavour. We even got 25% off through the app, which made it even better value. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, great food, brilliant service, and a really cosy, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!
