Most Disliked
Some diners note longer than expected wait times during peak hours, indicating the popularity and high demand for the food. It's smart to arrive early or place an order in advance to beat the rush.
A few customers have mentioned that getting a table can sometimes be tricky without a reservation, especially on weekends, as it tends to get crowded.
While the menu is extensive, a couple of diners wished that the place offered more special promotions or discounts for regular orders, particularly for families.

First time here tonight and all I can say is WOW absolutely spot on with the food. I rang up to see if they did beef in ok sauce, as it’s all my partner will eat, and he gave it 10/10 and he’s very hard to please. The lady showed me the food before taking my money to make sure it was right, and it was. The lady on reception is so polite and very friendly, nothing is to much trouble for her. The two guys in the back were full of smiles, to like the others where they are miserable, but really friendly, will 100% be going back and will recommend to all my friends. THANK YOU

First discovered this hidden gem a few months ago, it has now become our favourite Saturday night takeaway 💕 every meal is cooked to perfection, tasty and pipping hot. My fella opts for the roast chicken and chips with curry samosas and I love the beef chowmein. We always pick an extra dish to try something new and they never disappoint. I have a garlic allergy and they always let me know if it contains garlic and don't include that if it does. So order without worrying if you have allergies they can accommodate. Totally love this place 😍 it gets an A*** from me and to say i am fussy would be an understatement 🤣
