The fried egg on toast was just right - simple but done perfectly. The whole place has a calm, thoughtful vibe. My only small note is that the chairs are a bit hard for a longer sit. But the food is consistently fresh and well-made.

Garlic chilli chicken was tasty, but the portion felt a bit small for the price.

The staff were so lovely about my picky egg order. It&rsquo;s the kind of service that makes the bill feel okay, you know? Just a really nice touch.

First time trying Dragon Palace. The complimentary dish was a lovely touch. The flavours were spot on, just what I was craving. A really solid takeaway experience.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are still massive. Always a good sign.

Popped in for lunch on a sunny day. The Palmers IPA was spot on, really crisp and refreshing. Went for the fish and chips&mdash;the batter was light and the chips were proper chunky. Just what you want for a casual bite.

Love the covered outdoor area here. It&rsquo;s perfect when you want some fresh air but don&rsquo;t fancy getting dive-bombed by seagulls. The moussaka from their Greek specials board is my go-to. A solid, dog-friendly pub with a nice vibe.

The waffles with real Nutella are a proper treat. What I really liked though was the vibe - it&#39;s got a cosy, lived-in feel that makes you want to stay a while, even if it was a bit busy.

Sweet and sour chicken and lemon chicken were both solid choices. The tempura prawns starter was crisp and well-portioned. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly. Good for a straightforward business lunch.

Been coming here for years, and their veggie &#39;chicken&#39; is still the most convincing I&#39;ve found. Keeps me coming back.

Food&#39;s still tasty, but the service charge on takeaway orders now feels a bit much. Their house red remains a solid choice though.

The outside is quite plain, but the food is genuinely good. I really appreciated how fresh the vegetables were in the stir-fry. The greens tasted crisp and vibrant. It felt like a healthy, satisfying meal.

Pork belly was the move. Crispy skin, tender inside. Flavour was spot on. Everything came out hot, which is a plus. Solid spot.

Stumbled in late after a beach walk. The pizza crust was thin and crisp, with a good char on the edges. Chips were properly golden and salty. Exactly what we needed.

Service was quick and the staff were really nice. They didn&#39;t mind splitting our chips onto two plates, which was a small thing but appreciated. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but it hit the spot.

The staff here are so lovely, really made us feel welcome. They remembered my friend&#39;s name from last time! It&#39;s that kind of friendly spot where you instantly feel at ease. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

Love that they let you mix ribs and calamari with a salad.

The lamb biryani is the thing here. The rice had that perfect, separate grain texture, and the meat was fall-apart tender with just the right spice. Honestly, I&#39;d go back just for that one dish.

Stayed a few nights. The breakfast really stood out for me. The eggs Florentine were lovely, and I appreciated the variety of fresh ingredients available. The eggs tasted so fresh, and there were plenty of healthy options to choose from.

Staff are friendly and quick to adjust spice levels. Makes ordering easy. Got my usual lunch in under 10 minutes, which is perfect for a quick bite.

Always a lovely welcome from the team here. The fish and chips are my go-to &ndash; the batter is super light and crispy, and the chips are proper chunky. Just a solid, reliable spot.

The restrooms were spotlessly clean, which is a detail I always notice and appreciate. It just makes the whole place feel more cared for. A small thing, but it really does matter.

The oysters were fantastic, really fresh and briny. But the portion for the price was a bit small, just six on the plate. Felt a little short-changed there.

Came for a quick lunch. The burger was huge, honestly more than I could finish. For what you pay, you definitely get a lot on the plate. Portion size is a big plus here.

The Pathia here is spot on, proper flavour and just the right kick. Rice and naan were fresh, no complaints. Been a few times now. Shame they still only take cash though.
