The pork parmo was a generous portion, so I had leftovers for lunch the next day. I really appreciate that they use fresh, quality ingredients. The breading was crisp and the meat was tender. A solid choice if you&#39;re looking for something hearty.

The young male waiter could not have been more helpful and attentive - all of the staff were friendly and efficient and the meal was great. A wonderful evening for our party of nine - Thank you Toby - We shall be back soon

Been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The staff always remembers us, even on busy nights. Food&rsquo;s just as good as the first time.

Popped in for lunch. The tempura prawns from the buffet were really fresh and crispy. You can tell they&#39;re cooked to order, which is nice. Bit of a queue though.

Been going here for years, it&#39;s my local spot. The owners remember your name and always have a minute for a chat. Makes it feel like a proper neighbourhood place.

The heated plates were a nice touch. Kept everything warm, even when we were chatting. Shows they think about the little things.

The spicy beef noodles were the real deal. Properly chewy noodles, a rich broth with a good kick, and tender beef. The spring roll was crispy, not greasy. For under &pound;8, that&#39;s a solid lunch.

Lovely traditional decor, felt like stepping into a welcoming home. The warmth was so inviting, just the right kind of cosy for a rainy evening. A really nice spot to unwind.

We had a great evening, really relaxed. The food was outstanding, and the staff were so polite. Just a lovely spot for a quiet meal.

Booked Dickens 2 for a group. Staff were great, shoutout to Mario and Jack. Garden was a nice spot. Everything just ran smoothly, no fuss.

Been coming here for years, even after they moved. The modern Japanese food is consistently tasty and well-priced.

Large family lunch on a packed Saturday. Staff were really on it - kept things moving, we never had to wait. Food came out quick and was spot on. Perfect for a busy group.

Tried the Charsi Karahi on the waiter&#39;s suggestion. It was a new one for me, and it was really good. The lamb chops starter was great as well. Cocktails were decent. A solid spot.

Weekday lunch is a steal for the amount you get. Loads of variety, tried a bit of everything. The grilled aubergine was a standout. Portions are generous, left feeling very full. Good deal for a casual meal.

The ma la xiang guo was the star. It had that perfect numbing heat and was packed with flavour. Just wish it hadn&#39;t taken quite so long to reach the table.

The full English here is just right, not greasy at all. And the coffee was a proper, strong brew. Sat outside in the morning sun, it was a lovely start to the day. Service was quick and friendly.

Stumbled in during a downpour. The menu had loads of options, which was great. Portions were decent for the price, so I felt I got my money&#39;s worth. A solid find for a rainy day.

That lamb madras is just so good. It&#39;s become our go-to spot because of it. The staff are always lovely, which helps.

Stumbled upon this spot. The a&ccedil;ai bowl was spot on, just the right balance of tart and sweet. The whole place has this warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to linger.

Been coming here for years. Shyam&#39;s pizza is the real deal, proper thin crust and just the right amount of cheese. Always hits the spot.

Late night kanafeh with Nutella and strawberries. The pastry was warm and crisp, the cheese filling gooey. The Nutella and strawberries cut through the richness just enough. A solid choice when you need something sweet after hours.

The curried goat with rice and peas was good. Our server&#39;s suggestion to get the garlic flatbread with it was spot on.

The beef and chicken here taste noticeably better than most places. You can tell it&#39;s cooked fresh when you order, not sitting around. That makes a real difference. My chicken was juicy, and the beef had a proper flavour. It&#39;s a bit pricier, but you&#39;re paying for that quality.
