Nick Fischer The food is phenomenal! We came here for brunch and it was so good. We are definitely coming back. They have tons of vegan options and are super helpful with food allergies. The vegan pancakes are a hit. The service was super friendly, even though they were super busy when we came. Luckily we had a reservation so there was no wait when we showed up.

Marta Parciany Tasty, quick food. Always welcome with a smile of a staff member or a manager. Always fast and nice service. The management always makes sure everything is fine. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

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.

Bluejacketguy This was my first time ever trying a Nepali-style restaurant and I must say, I could not have asked for a better first impression. The atmosphere is a small, quiet but intimate setting and it seemed EXTREMELY inviting. The overall food was amazing, it really fit with the cultural and divine mood of the entire restaurant. Finished every piece of food on my dish, it was extraordinary. However, the BEST of all was without a doubt the service. One of the waitresses worked like she had years of experience. Her charm, humour and friendliness really was the cherry on top. Finally, the owner was incredibly respectful and polite to me and the rest of the customers that were there. Well and truly one of the nicest, kindest people I will ever meet in my life. 5/5.

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!

Jessica Mei-Yee Tang Fantastic pie shop! I heard about them from my colleagues about how delicious their pies were, and I had to see for myself. I got the Sweeney pastie and steak and ale pie! My husband and I enjoyed both, but the steak and ale pie was his favourite! Full of flavour with perfect pastry! Will be coming back to try the other pies. My only regret is that I havent visited sooner.
