“First time we have tried here since it changed hands and very very disappointed. The rice was bland and a funny colour. Chilli chicken was cold and tough. 1 star is for the ribs. We will not be ordering from here again. Such a shame as it was always our first choice when ordering from Maidenhead”

“We all enjoyed our takeaways. The crispy beef and chilli, the beef with mushroom (and added onions) were all tasty but especially the sweet and sour battered chicken was a favourite. The vegetable rice dish was fabulous with lovely fresh ingredients. There was no skimping on ingredients which seems to be happening at some places. Will definitely order again. Thank you!”
