Dinner in Guildford

“Nice food. Starters are fabulous. Love their new selection of noodle dishes during Lunch. Also, great service from Abigail and Koy.”

“Good good, prices and service. Pretty front of building. A little gust of cold when the front door opens. Plenty of space between tables. Easy to hear yourself to speak. Easy to find in Guildford. Good attention to allergens.”

“Liz & Khushal was amazing! Great service. Went over and above to make my experience pleasant. Definitely consider giving her pay rise. She deserves to be paid a lot!”

“A perfect Friday lunch in the garden of the Guildford Arms Pub. The food, drink and service was excellent and we will be back! The roast Hispi cabbage with kimchi was so delicious!!! One of our favourite pubs in SE London.”

“So we made a mistake when booking (rather than the 21st to 23rd had booked 20th to 22nd!) and panicked when we arrived about the night that hadnt been booked. The manager put us in the room we had booked and was able to book us into a different room for the following night which we were able to transfer into early in the morning. The breakfast is amazing. The pool is incredible. Special shout out to the pool attendant who let me and my special needs child into the pool close to closing time. We weren't that thrilled with the areas of Guildford we explored, but would return purely for this hotel, fantastic”

“Ed and Alfie are amazing guys, always have lovely chats with us whilst waiting for food and they are very friendly and kind - will definitely be returning!!”

“You can get a free k pop demon hunter photo card when you buy a kids meal!!”

“I’ve been coming to Mori Sushi now for the best part of 2 years. Each time the food is so consistently delicious and of excellent quality. For example the Gyu Teriyaki Don is our go to, it’s fresh, tasty and highly nutritious we explored the menu and everything is just top notch. I also order the sides such as Takoyaki, this is probably the most amazing side I have ever had. It’s so clean, fresh, tasty and sits on our stomachs with satisfaction every time. The service and experience is another thing, we are always well treated, looked after and made to feel part of the mori sushi regulars. It’s our go to and we love it.”

“Alex and the team are so lovely. We used to always get ham and cheese paninis. 10/10 ♥️”

“An authentic Italian experience from the moment you enter. The service was exceptional, attentive but never intrusive. This is a family owned and run restaurant and such a pleasant change from those formulaic chains. All our food was superb, particularly the fish dishes and great value. Pre-booking is advisable.”

“The crab risotto and veal was an amazing combo! The veal dish is a perfectly delicate balance of different textures and flavours! The crab risotto was everything one is proud to write to home about (as they would say in old days), and in nowadays, yes it’s something they would post on here or insta for!”

“The food was absolutely incredible! We loved every dish! The atmosphere was also really nice, the only thing I would say is that the service could have been slightly better. More attentive and a bit quicker to begin with.”

“I’ve been coming here for near 40 years! The place recently celebrated their 46th birthday and suddenly made me feel old! An absolute institution. I was lucky to visit way back when it was just 1-2 small rooms and my parents treated to us to this incredible restaurant when we were younger and have continued to visit since! They had been coming since just after it opened and it was once fo the best Thai restaurants you could find! After years of uni and now living over seas it’s on the list every time I come home. Made even more special by some of the staff remembering me including the boss! A true sign of a spectacular restaurant where hospitality is at the heart of its success. Here is to another 40 years I hope!”

“Visited last Monday during a week-long stag celebration and wow what a hidden gem! The garlic bread is quite honestly the best we’ve ever tasted and the cocktails were superb - and I think we tried the entire menu between us! Wonderful service, stayed open for us too. We can’t thank you enough, will definitely visit again if in the area!”

“We had a very memorable dinner at Carlo’s Trattoria ! Despite booking a table for 22 of us at very short notice , Bonnie and Jay went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing dinner for my family gathering. The service was attentive and impeccable throughout the whole evening and the food truly delicious with very generous portions. We all had the fixed menu with a selection of starters ( the fried calamari are the best I have eaten in a very long time - even my Sicilian auntie thought they were tastier than the ones in Sicily ) followed by the prawns risotto and fresh ravioli with porcini mushroom and sage which were both heavenly! We ended the dinner with an amazing selection of desserts, all beautifully presented. I live in London but I will definitely drive back to Guildford just to eat at Carlo’s again!. Thank you SO MUCH Bonnie and Jay for looking after us and making the evening truly special for me and my family! Hope to see you again soon Barbara Z”

“Amazing food, really good flavour with a tasty olive oil. The service is great and really attentive. Will definitely be back! One of those restaurants where you want to take the family that comes visit you.”

“Wonderful friendly staff. Just had a Chicken Shawarma to go, though it was fantastic! Very tasty, meaty and great value. I will definitely be back again!”

“Great Indian curry house in Guildford. They serve excellent Sunday Buffet with good choices to choose from. Samosa and onion bhaji were an excellent choice from their starter options. Madras chicken curry and lamp curry with Naan were my favourites. They do also have vegetarian options and serve basmati rice. Overall an excellent choice for a family dine out for any memorable occasion.”

“I went here yesterday with a large group of ladies. We had quite a few customisations on items. The lovely server was able to help us meet everyone's dietary requirements. Lovely food lovely service beautiful atmosphere and restaurant. And lovely glow of knowing I'm supporting an independent restaurant.”

“It says a lot that I'm willing to walk all the way through town just to buy something from them”

“Back in Woking visiting my friends after moving to the coast and went to Eastern Taste (my old local) WOW, what an improvement! The restaurant has been refurbished and the food was absolutely delicious, served on lovely hot new crockery. All 4 of us had something different and not a complaint/grumble about any of it.”

“Fantastic restaurant, very professional and can thoroughly recommend”

“The Little Waitrose at Shell Horsley is a genuinely convenient stop. It's more than just a petrol station shop; it's a well-stocked mini-supermarket. I appreciate the quality of their ready meals and fresh produce, perfect for grabbing a quick, decent dinner. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, even during busy periods. While it's a smaller selection, they manage to pack in a good variety of Waitrose essentials. It's ideal for those last-minute bits, or when you need to top up on quality groceries without a full supermarket trip. The addition of the coffee machine is a nice touch too, for a quick pick me up. Overall a good experiance for a petrol station based shop.”

“Attended a company Christmas party at this hotel. Everything from check-in to check-out ran smoothly. Staff were super attentive and always helped with a smile. Great venue and professional service. We will be back! Thank you and please share this feedback with your staff. Thank you for a great corporate event.”

“Lovely people who took my order over the phone and delivered it on time. It was a large order and all the items were nice and hot. Food was delicious.”

“By far the best Chinese in Guildford. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. Nice to support a small independent family run restaurant that’s been running in Guildford for years!”

“Beautiful and well kept restaurant with lovely, helpful staff. Food was great, the quality you expect from a chain but executed really well. A very nice visit.”

“Ordered last night for delivery through Deliveroo, delivery was fast and no problems. Delivery guy was nice and told me they had upgraded both my pizza from 12” to 15”! Amazing service and quality of food, highly recommend! Sorry I didn’t have any cash to tip yourselves, I’ll definitely make sure I do for next time!”

“I stayed last night for a business trip. Considering this was one of the more affordable hotels, I was impressed by The Mandolay. Great rooms. Attentive staff and great bar / dining area. Only small critique was the showers aren't the largest, but no issues whilst I was there.”

“There's no other place in Guildford where you can taste a truly fine Argentinian steak, a delicately-crafted beef empanada and a glass of malbec whilst enjoying Latin music and the sparkling smile from the head waitress, all at the same time. Thanks to the grillmaster, Carmona is a great place for beef connoisseurs outside London!”
