Customer Review Summary
Chicken dishes draw the most praise, especially the chicken curry and chicken satay, which one reviewer calls the best they have ever tasted. Crispy shredded chicken and crispy chicken balls come close behind. Reviewers also single out salt and chilli dry prawns, chow mein noodles and a delicious satay sauce. Sit-in diners describe a comfortable, relaxing restaurant with courteous staff, generous portions and a set deal of soup, main and dessert, though the dessert is called nothing special. Takeaway experiences are more divided. Several praise food ready within minutes, but one reviewer found the ribs rubbery, the salt and chilli chips soggy and the curry sauce like wallpaper paste. Another received fatty meat and chicken pieces with skin attached, and a third binned a curry whose sauce was like water. One Just Eat order was cancelled after a long wait with no phone call. Still, one family takeaway arrived with a free portion of sweet and sour chicken wings.

“Food was ready quickly, the food was excellent I usually can take or leave a takeaway but I actually enjoyed the food as did all the family. No bloated salty dried out feeling you usually get. Price was spot on as well four adults fifty quid with a free portion of sweet and sour chicken wings thrown in. Cracking place”
