Curry • Chinese • Chicken • Takeaway


"My usual takeaway was closed.. so a great excuse to be not loyal' for once! No online menu.. so had to describe roughly what we wanted! But the lady on the phone was really helpful! Sweet and sour chicken/prawn balls. Crispy, fully cooked batter, tender...insides and the sauce was really tasty. Not at all greasy.. despite being fried. Excellent. Not brightly coloured like some.. and a good thick consistency. Shreaded beef in a hot and sweet sauce was amazing! Spicy and sweet. The more you ate.. the more your tastebuds came alive! Quite an after-kick! Chicken fried rice was quite a plain dish in comparison.. but still had a good, clean and fresh taste. Usual few peas scattered amongst the rice and generous amounts of sliced chicken. Vegetable curry was our final main. Stir fried charred flavour, with a good range of veg. Curry sauce mild flavour and not too salty. Perfect. Side of chips.. great.. cooked to perfection. Outside crisp.. inside soft and fluffy. (They are the usual frozen variety though Good to see they weren't pre salted. Many places now do that which isn't great. Had a vegetable/spring roll as an extra treat. It was one of those huge ones! The filo outside was thin and crunchy as expected! And also non greasy. The inside was simply lots and lots of bean sprouts. Nothing else. Wasn't the most exciting or tasty of rolls! But mixed with the various dishes before.. it was fine. Free prawn crackers included. They were nice and light, and like the rest of the food.. not greasy! Fab. Delivery was fast. Unfortunately the driver had used up their change on a previous customer.. so they got a healthy tip! (Mind you.. would have given a couple of quid anyway The delivery lady was really friendly.. very pleasant manner.. great service from the initial phone call to delivery. The food was clean, freshly made and included many veg. Carrot, onion, green peppars to name but a few. I will order again... and must call in to pick up a menu!"

"We popped in for some lunch on our way home and having never been before we thought we’d give this place a try. It was busy so we thought this might be a good sign... The menu was basic, mainly sandwiches, wraps and buns with very few hot choices. Neither Of us wanted a large lunch so we ordered a vegetable soup each and two pots of tea. The drinks arrived quickly and were ok, but the cups are the type where you cannot pick them up solely by the handle without balancing the hot cup against your fingers...not practical or particularly easy to drink out or even pleasant. When the vegetable soup arrived it smelt ok and tasted ok, that was until I discovered it also had bits of pasta, baked beans and potato lurking inside! I would never have ordered vegetable soup had I known it wasn’t vegetable soup, and more a minestrone! Upon closer inspection it actually looked like tinned soup (and not a very good one! , that had had a few fresh vegetables and some extra flavouring thrown in it. I left all of my veg as I got fed up of trying to pick out pasta and beans I also left the white bread bun that accompanied it, as I only eat wholemeal bread and no choice option was was given. As we paid no one asked if our food was ok, and I would have said what I felt given that opportunity, so I’m writing this review instead. This cafe only takes cash as well so that was another inconvenience as I’d just used the last of my cash. Would not recommend and probably won’t return, £12 for soup that gave me indigestion and I only drank the liquid!"
