Restaurant in Kidderminster

“Fabulous food... So good I've forgot to take a picture of the steak main meal I had! Service was wonderful with us being asked if we wanted drinks when they saw glasses empty....”

“First time visiting China city tonight. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Staff were wonderful, food arrived quickly and tasted great. Lovely atmosphere and nothing too much trouble.”

“Very authentic, great variety and wonderful service. A gem in Kidderminster. It was so good I forgot to take pics! Stop in or make a res on line!”

“Excellent fresh food, good size portions, good value. Tables to eat inside or outside or you can take away”

“I can’t believe I have almost lived in Kiddy for two years & yet hadn’t tried this place until today! I’m so glad I did! We had a korma, butter chicken, garlic naan & rice. Everything was delicious! We didn’t have to wait too long & it arrived hot! I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite - and personally I found the portion sizes perfect, especially for such brilliant prices! We also got a Negroni & White Russian. The food menu is impressive but the cocktail menu is crazy! The interior design is also very groovy, I’m a big fan. I’m already planning my next visit! P.S they do delivery too!”

“Wonderful meal! Friendly staff and delicious food. Very engaging owners. A lovely experience for the Canadian visitors.”

“We have just had our first takeaway from Chennai-lounge and was very pleasantly surprised. It was the nicest Induan meal we have had in a long time. Service fast, food piping hot and super tasty. This is definitely our new go to for Indian food.”

“Myself and my boyfriend booked a double room. My daughter and her boyfriend have 4 children, 2 of the children have adhd, but the rooms only accommodate 2 children, so my daughter booked one room with 2 of the children and a second room for her boyfriend and 2 of the children. When we saw the rooms, they would have been fine with one room. Anyway, the rooms were lovely (I'm not complaining) We went down for breakfast the second morning we were there, the lady on that took our names, myself and my boyfriend hadnt booked, and the restaurant was very busy, but Jade allowed us to have a table, she was very nice, polite and kind to us. and my grandson was a bit overwhelmed, he kept moving tables and I said to my daughter that Oliver couldn't help.it, my daughter said " but it's not an excuse, a member of staff, Tia, came over and asked if it was okay for Oliver to have felts, I said it was, and Tia went to fetch some paper and felts, she asked Oliver to draw a dinosaur, he did this in between eating his meal. It kept him occupied. Tea was so ki d towards Oliver and he looked for her after breakfast to give her the drawing. She was so pleased. The staff were really good with the children, In fact, they were brilliant!! We will definitely be going to the Kidderminster Premier Inn again. I highly recommend it.”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Room clean. Convenient location for us. Nice pub opposite for dinner/breakfast if you don't want to explore further. Would stay again.”

“Leona (apologies if I butchered name) was so kind she made me the last pizza of the night as other staff left. Incredible customer service. My pizza was given the same respect orders earlier in the night were given. Excellent pizza 10/10 if only for staff”

“Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Quick, friendly service from staff! Food was presented well and tasted amazing! Would definitely return!”

“Had the cod — portion was massive, and the fish was fresh and tasty. Chips were perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy inside. Well done!”

“Great food,big portion sizes But if ordering on Friday/Saturday delivery times can be long because this place is so popular. But very easy to change a delivery order to a collection. If ordering online try doing it through their website at empire Garden.co.uk it's much cheaper especially when compared to just eat or deliveroo. If your looking for something small to eat I would suggest the special tray meals They are great”

“We absolutely love this place – it’s become our go-to favourite spot in town. The food is consistently outstanding. Part of our family is vegetarian, and it’s brilliant to have a proper veggie option on the menu. The Vivera plant-based marinated tenders with fries and dipping sauce are delicious – full of flavour and really satisfying. The rest of the family usually go for the chicken tenders with fries, Texas toast and dipping sauce, and they’re always a hit as well. Everything is cooked beautifully, the portions are generous, and the quality never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“Ordered for the first time tonight.....best Chinese I've eaten. The salt and pepper king prawns were incredible and the rest of food was clean, excellently prepared and very tasty. And was even impressed with the insulated take away bag. Well definitely be getting my Chinese fix custom from now on”

“Excellent pizzas very tasty and hot plenty of toppings overall most excellent pizzas prices are bit expensive but I always look for the deals”

“What can i say about our wedding here on 29th July 2022..wow ..amazing. magical..best day of our lives..we booked 2 years ago and due to covid it was pushed back..during this time the hotel had new management and we had seen a couple of negative comments so called and asked for a meeting..all our worries were talked through and we were put at ease..then we booked an appt to meet the new wedding planner pippa 2 weeks before the wedding and knew instantly that she was totally on the ball..she did not let us down her communication was fantastic and she did everything possible to make our day so special..we had no hiccups and everything ran like clockwork. The only slight niggle would be the queue for the bar but we did have a large wedding so maybe at the next large wedding another bar team member would help..but all in all our day was perfect and we wouldn't change a single minute of it. The team worked so hard and made our day special. Thank you to all the staff”

“Ordered a few times in the past and wasn’t happy with the food, since it’s been taken over by the new owner it has completely changed. Food is delivered fast, fresh and is always hot. Partner is usually picky with chicken but we both agreed it is even better than KFC. Best chicken shop in Kidderminster. 100% would return.”

“Literally the best Kebab I've ever had. Fries are super good too. I've tried kebabs and Döners all over the world (Germany, Greece, Hungary,Croatia), and I think this is the best I've ever had. I can only recommend.”

“The food here was incredible. We hired them for a work event and the team were lovely, there was plenty food for everyone and even got a takeaway plate which I’m still enjoying today! Thank you for the delicious food, and highly recommend!”

“Beautiful fresh food and lovely service! Thank you :)”

“Recently found this gem. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until I went on my nieces Facebook as I don’t have FB. The malteser cheesecake and shortbread are amazing. I’ve been looking for cafes with homemade cakes and these truly are homemade, which is such a rarity! The staff also make the latte to preference such as decaf/ oat milk etc the indoor area is clean with tasteful decor. The outside seating is really lovely as it’s based in a pretty and peaceful location. There is a free car park that can be used. Owner is lovely and friendly. We felt very welcome. I was a bit worried as I’ve been to other places which are a bit hostile towards Muslims/ Asians but there was no need to be worried here. I haven’t tried the food yet but when I do I will edit my review . I’d love to see more cheesecake flavours as Gil is a great baker . I am a baker too and I have very high standards so that’s saying something . Im definitely not easily pleased when it comes to cakes. Overall really lovely cafe . I went to another cafe before I discovered Gils for homemade cakes and that was such a major disappointment in quality and taste and did not compare to Gils. Prices are really good for the cake considering it’s homemade and generous portions . Only wish I could visit more often but due to health problems I can’t but when I do it’s a lovely experience. Thanks!”

“Eaten from here a couple of times, definitely recommended!! The food always arrives hot! Make sure you have an appetite because the portions are phenomenal, you definitely get your moneys worth and more!! Always on point and the food is so so good! Best place to get a burger locally!”

“Excellent hotel, very friendly staff. However the breakfast service was slow and we only just had time to eat our breakfast as we had to catch a train. The staff were apologetic but we had to rush our food and this meant we didn't enjoy the experience. Next time we will have cereal.”

“Had to support a friend at the Crown court today, the day was helped by a surprise just next door… AJs Dinner. The Bacon and mushroom sandwich the Ladies served, was one of the best I have ever eaten, this coming from a chef of 40 years. Bacon perfectly cooked and so many delicious fresh button mushrooms. Well done ladies, keep up the good work! If you are Kidiminster definitely worth visiting”

“Best chippy around. Kebab meat is lovely. Battered chips highly recommended. Good portions and quality”

“We have just returned from a lovely evening at The Swan. We were a large group of 18 people but this presented no problems for the team and food was brought out all together and each meal was tasty, well presented and piping hot. Service was also friendly, efficient and full of smiles. We always recommend The Swan to people but the team really went the extra mile tonight with our large group. Thank you!”

“Our first time visiting and we were not disappointed. We arrived midday on a Sunday and we were the only people inside so it was quiet. However the decor paired with the music created a nice atmosphere. We both ordered the chicken yeeros and they were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous and very reasonably priced. We look forward to returning and trying out the rest of the menu.”

“Really happy to see this place back up and running again, the new owner Usman is doing amazing! The food was delicious, 100% be back to Catch of The Day being my regular chippy!”
