"We are a native Portuguese family and are therefore accustomed to Portuguese cuisine. This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered in the UK. When asked if the restaurant had Portuguese bread, the waitress very openly admitted that they abandoned conventional Portuguese bread for Tesco alternatives. The bread in question was not bad but it was terrible to hear they didn’t have authentic Portuguese breads available. As an alternative we were offered ciabatta. The selection of foods available on the menu were good. We weren’t alarmed by the high prices as authentic Portuguese restaurants in the UK have a tendency to be a bit pricey. But you pay for authenticity. This was not the case. When the food arrived we noticed the side dishes potatoes, rice, and vegetables were from a packet. Conventionally potatoes are boiled so we were surprised to see Aunt Bessie’s with a touch of seasoning presented to us. The rice is without question from a pack maybe uncle bens or tilda which is pitiful to say the least. The products that were fresh within our meal featured meat and fish. These were average at best. Fish was over cooked, and the steaks were undercooked. Considering the establishment employs Portuguese people it’s embarrassing that they aren’t bothered to cook fresh food. Having said that the place is beautiful and very well decorated, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dishes are presented very nicely it’s a shame the freshness and quality isn’t there. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment and I’m sorry but I couldn’t recommend anyone go there either."

My friends recommended this restaurant, and it was my first time eating here. The food was amazing, but the place was very busy and cramped. This is great for their business, but if you prefer more space, it might not be ideal for you. I would definitely recommend booking a table in advance. The food was fantastic once again!

Whilst the food is ok, it isn’t something absolutely divine. Don’t get me wrong, it has flavour and it’s ok, but not mind blowing. And for the prices, that is exactly what I was expecting. I was really shocked when the bill came through (my own fault, they do have the prices on the menu) and a small bottle of coca-cola is £3.95! Also, the desserts aren’t exactly portuguese which was disappointing. A service charge of 10% was added, likely as we were a group of 6. Ok restaurant, but that is it.

A friend took me to this restaurant, O Calhau . O Calhau in Portuguese means The Stone . A woman served us, and my friend told me she owned the restaurant! The owner may think she holds a Michelin Star restaurant, but to be honest, she is far from it. The menu is very confusing and messy, and it 's very priced up compared to the other restaurants that I have been to Her attitude and customer service skills towards us were disgusting and appalling, and she doesn 't care about you! She may have a brain made of Calhau ; it may be the reason for the restaurant 's name! It was the worst experience that I had in a restaurant. I feel sorry for the staff of this restaurant. Honestly, you will never... Voir le carte

The food was decent, which is why I gave this restaurant 3 stars. However, the welcome we received upon entering was quite cold. When my friend, her young son, and I asked for a high chair, it seemed like an inconvenience to the staff. Despite us being the only customers there during lunch time, they felt the need to rearrange tables and chairs, creating a lot of noise that made it difficult for us to have a conversation. The owner of the restaurant started shouting at someone, which made us feel uncomfortable. Our plates were not cleared away even though we had finished eating, and when we wanted to split the bill, we were told it wasn't possible because of the card machine. Overall, the la...

Despite all the bad reviews, we decided to give it a try for dinner. We ordered the mixed grilled fish for 2 people seeing the price before we went as £52.95 on The Fork app but it was actually £57.95 on the menu that was given to us. The Salmon, sea bream, mussels, clams and the prawns were tasty but the squid was absolutely rubbery and tastless. When the famous owner/manager that everyone was talking about came and ask how the food was, we said all fine but the squid was not great at all and then all she said was sorry sorry (with like deal with it, pay and go kind of tone and attitude) whilst walking away from the table. After 5 minutes, she then walks to the table with the dessert menu o...

"A Culinary Journey Through India: Exquisite Flavors Await! Stepping into this Indian restaurant was like stepping into a culinary oasis. The air was redolent with the fragrant spices of India, promising an adventure for the taste buds. The ambiance, adorned with traditional Indian decor, transported me to the streets of Mumbai. Let's delve into the heart of the experience the food. The Tandoori chicken stole the show, perfectly marinated and cooked to juicy perfection. Each bite was a burst of smoky flavor that left me craving for more. And the Biryani? Simply divine. The fragrant rice, layered with tender meat and aromatic spices, was a symphony of flavors. However, a word of caution: the green chili served alongside packs a fiery punch, so tread carefully if you're not accustomed to the heat! But what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The owner's son, who served as our waiter, was the epitome of friendliness. His warm demeanor and attentive service made us feel right at home, enhancing the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to this Indian restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. With tantalizing dishes like the Tandoori chicken and flavorful Biryani, complemented by the friendly service, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or embarking on your first adventure, this restaurant is a must visit destination!"
