Pho Reading - (Near Berkshire, london)

AK Hidden gem. The food is delicious and the portions very generous, especially for that price!! The waiter placed our order as soon as we sat down and food arrived within minutes! Lastly the atmosphere is nice and cozy.

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.

Adian Alnaas Me and my husband bought 4 falafel and halloumi wraps today! Guess what? They were the best falafel wraps in the UK! ❤️ so tasty and were made with love. The place was nice and clean and the guy who is working there was very friendly with us.

Jodie C Went for the date night menu to celebrate a birthday. Very good value for money, with a surcharge on the cut of meat we chose. Staff were very friendly and also gave us a complimentary birthday treat. Was quite a busy Thursday evening, so there was a wait between courses which is understandable. Overall a very nice experience.

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

Elouise A brilliant evening out! The food was impeccable, from the presentation to the taste of each course. The staff are friendly and there’s a welcoming atmosphere. It’s got plenty of areas for photo opportunities with staff willing to take photos for you! There was live music which was a lovely addition to the meal we had. We will definitely be heading back soon!
