“I have been here from the start. The taste is fabulous. I can vouch for it having eaten in so many so called Kerala restaurants. The only thing missing this time is the squid Masala. I am told that it's on the menu in their Whitefield Sindhoor restaurant. Tandoori chicken was not filled with colour like elsewhere. Definitely recommended.”

“Food is excellent really fresh and delicious. We will definitely order again. Highly recommend”

“What can I say, this was my first time visiting Asha's and it definitely won't be my last! I booked for a group of six and we were treated exceptionally well by Ryan and his wonderful team. The food is out of this world, the drinks menu is perfectly paired and the staff were attentive, friendly and just knew our next move. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we'll definitely be back and recommending you to our friends. X”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Viet Guy, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—packed with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a burst of flavor, and you could really tell the care and attention that went into preparing each one. The service was equally impressive. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. They really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. If you’re looking for amazing Vietnamese cuisine paired with top-notch service, Viet Guy is the place to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough! That should highlight both the food and service in a positive, enthusiastic way!”

“From placing the order with a lovely lady on the phone to collecting our delicious Chinese, this is one of the best Chinese meals we've ever had. The prices were amazing, the taste was incredible (we had 2 Dim Sum platters, a chow mein and a special fried rice, all for just £26.60) So excited to have a new fave takeaway!”

“Unreal Chinese! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place earlier. The food was delivered bang on time and was hot and tasty. I got the noodles, salt and pepper chips and tofu in black bean sauce”

Also, the dessert carrot halwa with ice cream. The staff were friendly, and the dining area as well as the deli area was very impressive. I would come to visit again soon.”

“Derbar is one of the best Iranian restaurants I’ve ever tried! The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and beautifully presented. From the kebabs to the rice, every bite was perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real Persian taste!”

“Wow, this place is amazing! This is the first time my partner (Kieran) and I have ordered from here, and it most certainly won't be the last. The chicken in the korma was beautiful - so tender with absolutely no fatty bits. My partner said the same about his lamb too. The authentic pilau rice.. the garlic and coriander naan which was so garlicky... the heavenly salt and pepper chips - everything was quite simply PERFECT. They even gave us some free tikka bites, along with a lovely handwritten message welcoming us to the place. The delivery guy was so friendly too. I simply can't fault this place - and that's coming from someone who can be quite picky. All that's left to say now, is THANK YOU!”

“Food was fantastic and the staff was amazing thank you”

“Just had a meal delivered it was here in 20mins and top quality really enjoyed it really tasty and hot when it arrived will order again”

“Tried the fire cracker shrimp starter, the dynamite bao buns, katsu fries and the steamed chicken & prawn wontons. The bao buns were really soft, and the fire cracker shrimp was really tasty, would definitely recommend those. The staff was also really lovely and helpful with recommendations.”

“Met a friend for dinner after work (no reservations) and we had the early diner set meal. Mixed starters, salt & pepper prawns and sweet & sour chicken for mains with egg fried rice and pineapple fritters with icecream to finish. Everything was delicious! Menu highlights were the chicken and the seaweed starter. I had an espresso with my pudding too and it was the nicest coffee I’ve had in ages.”

“Nadia was absolutely brilliant, great vibe, brill service and a great bottomless afternoon tea. Can’t wait to come back ❤️”

“Tried this place for the first time recently, it's difficult to find a traditional Chinese locally however this place hit the spot!”
