Customer Review Summary

Pizza draws the most attention at Red Onion, with several reviewers praising deals like two extra-large pizzas and cheeseburger meals as tasty and good value, while others describe the pizza as disgusting or "tasting completely different" from what longtime customers remembered, with one describing a repeat order that was still inedible despite a promised fix. Close behind, the mixed grill and chicken dishes draw recurring complaints: one reviewer found the £19 mixed grill portion too small with old-tasting wings and tikka, another described chicken pakora as hard and dried out, and a chicken boneless curry was called flavorless and untouched even by kids. Tandoori wings and soft naan bread get occasional praise, and a few call the seating clean and comfortable, though others mention ripped seats, a staff member seen wiping his nose while grilling, and beggars wandering in through an open door. One reviewer reports a week of food poisoning and hospitalization after eating a lamb curry and fish burger, described as their own account rather than a confirmed cause. Overall experiences vary sharply between visits and orders.

  • Ehsaan Islam
    “Avoid this place! I bought the chicken pakora from Red Onion and it was completely inedible. The pieces were as hard as a rock, and the chicken itself looked incredibly old and dried out. Super disappointing and a total waste of money. I won't be coming back here again.”
