The Rising Sun, A Heartwood Inn - (Near Berkshire, london)

ilana Member of staff was great. Cleanliness was not an issue. ONTO THE FOOD: Food was all hot and fresh. The twisted burger was great if you want fried chicken but love the signature peri peri sauce from chicken shops (they also do twisted wings). The regular wings were good, not fatty, not greasy nor the type of wings with a disgusting amount of chicken skin. Although I wish they had a bit more of a kick (but I understand they have to cater to everyone). Thanks very much

Charlotte Bramanis What an amazing addition to Broad Street vendors. Figured Id give this a go instead of an overpriced pre-heated dessert from the restaurant I was at, and so glad I did. The waffle on a stick was A-MAZE-ING. Well worth the money! I spoke to the owner while our fresh waffles were being made; theyve only been there a couple of weeks and still getting organised, that being said, the small waffle selection at the moment is worth going to try! Crepes and other snacks coming soon!

Chantelle Thornley Booked a table for seven people a week before, as I’d read that it booked up. We were attending the Beach Boys concert nearby at Englefield on June 20th 2025. Pleased to say all the reviews are accurate and I’m delighted to be adding to them now! Spring rolls for starters, as well as a sharing platter that would easily be a main course. Then we had a selection of Thai and traditional pub food. Liver n onions. Burger. Ribs. Thai Green Curry. Atmosphere was relaxed and waiting service was excellent. My only suggestion is the bar staff. A bit more friendly interaction with the customers would make this place really worthy of the full five stars.

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.

Karthikeya Sharma We were recommended of this place for Nepali food. 4 of us visited for lunch and we were not disappointed! We ordered Veg steamed Momo and Veg Chilli Momo, Waiwai Sadheko, Sel set, Puri Tarkari, Veg fried rice and Dhido Thali. The food was delicious, home cooked style and reasonably priced. For us the Dhido Thali was a surprise find as its a close match to Ragi Mudde of Karnataka. Highly recommend this to anyone missing the Mudde in UK! Will definitely visit again
