Sue Pickford The food was amazing ,it came out piping hot. Chips looked a little brown but tasted really good. Special offers are on in the week which is a good money saver. My husband and I really enjoyed it. Barmaid was lovely. Will definitely be going back .

D B I stopped by a Caribbean takeaway and was genuinely surprised by how good the food was—truly exceptional. Even with all the five‑star reviews, I didn’t expect to be this impressed. We tried the curry chicken, and it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the basmati rice was fluffy ans perfectly cooked - not quick‑cook variety, which can be on the firm side. Every bite was pure pleasure, which I didnt want to end! Well done Chef. The decor is a tired, but the food more than makes up for it. What I appreciated is that the prices were super reasonable and reflected the demographic of the area. By keeping the cost fair, the place is set to earn / already earning a steady, loyal crowd rather than inflating costs to maximize short term profit. Theyve got this right ✅️ We will be back.

Liv Cowgill incredible food, and really reasonably priced! we tried lots of different plates and left stuffed. great vegan options (including baklava), and very nice service!

Tom Brouwers Really enjoyed this cute restaurant with very delicious pizzas. As a celiac I was surprised that every dish could be ordered gluten free. The staff was very helpful explaining the risk of possible cross contamination. Nevertheless I enjoyed a delicious pizza and still had a great night! Would recommend this restaurant to others for its delicious food and welcoming and helpful staff!

YUHAN TIAN We came here for some authentic Hainanese food and overall it was a great experience. The sharing platter was good — although it says for 3–4 people, it’s really just right for three. If you want a more satisfying meal, it’s worth ordering a few extra dishes. We added half a portion of white-cut chicken, which was excellent — very smooth and tender with perfectly crisp skin, showing great control of the cooking time. It would be even better if the broth and surface were cleaned a little more thoroughly. The mixed rice noodles were delicious, and the green glutinous rice balls with coconut filling were a pleasant surprise — chewy and fragrant. The fried shrimp and chive cakes were tasty too, just a bit oily. The place is very popular, so expect a queue, and sometimes you might be asked to change tables or share with others. But overall, the food quality makes it worth it.

Joanna Thorpe A great takeaway! Great portions and always arrives hot. We also really appreciate how they read the salad choices and always get it 100% right! Thank you for the free chicken wings!
