Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Rainbow for generous, fresh portions of takeaway that arrives hot, with delivery and collection both praised. Chicken balls get the clearest mentions, including a chicken ball special with curry called the nicest one a reviewer has had, and a set meal for two with crispy chicken balls and pancake rolls. Others single out a salt and chilli mixed box described as jam packed, and a lamb dish on the menu. Several say the food was tasty and flavoursome, and one reviewer from Birmingham compares it to old takeaways from the 80s, unlike others they have tried. Delivery is repeatedly described as quick and the drivers and phone staff as lovely, with one order over a set amount arriving with free spring rolls. The one critical review comes from a previously loyal customer who says the chips switched from fresh, vegan friendly ones to frozen, with a poor texture and a heavy oil taste, and the whole family left them. That reviewer felt price was being put ahead of quality.

“It's just like those old take aways from the 80's. The food is good, unlike most weve tried, which coming from Birmingham has been a problem for me. The take aways have been quite disappointing. However, not these guys. The food is great. We've used them several times now and will continue to do so.”
