“Heard about 5 Akhis (which means “five brothers”) and made the trip up from London to check it out… And honestly, it was worth it. The burgers are seriously scrumptious! We tried a mix: the Classic, the OG Classic, and the chicken burger called the Blazing Bird. Every one hit the spot. The loaded fries are another level… We went for the Chicken Strips Remix, which comes stacked with fries, cheese sauce and ranch sauce.. Proper comfort food! Prices are decent too: around £13–16 for a burger meal, and £7.99 for loaded fries that are big enough to share. The place itself is pretty small, only seats about 8–10 people max, so it’s worth ordering ahead because it does get busy. Service was really friendly, and you can tell they care about what they’re serving. I’ll definitely be going back! Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want a proper good burger”

“Visited French Affaire for a birthday breakfast and it was my first visit. The dishes were delivered to our table quickly and were really tasty. I had an oat flat white which was also very nice! I’d definitely recommend a visit.”

“The food is spectacular. I especially recommend the fish wrap starter and the curried goat main. The cocktails are lovely and good value when 241. They also do a kids menu. The services is very good. We were served by Antony who was very pleasant indeed and he made us feel welcome and relaxed. He spoke to my 3 year old daughter to. Which was nice.”

“Don't know the area at all, walked round looked at a few coffee shops seemed pricey for a brew, and was all prepacked heat up behind the counter jobs. Saw a road worker by his van, asked him if he new any decent places for a fry up, he suggested hitchin lol. As I was walking away he said hang on there a place down there called star.. So ended up in here, very clean, nice and pleasant staff at counter waiting. Food prices on par with similar styled cafes. Good selection, food and tea came out piping hot and fresh. Can't fault anything. Will use again if in the area. Was eating on my own as only in area as motorbike having work done in the area. Felt welcome and didn't feel uncomfortable at all like you can eating in some places when on your tod. Thanks guys”

“A beautiful tea room with a vintage feel. The owners are attentive without being intrusive and the food is beautiful. The afternoon tea does need to be pre-booked as it is all made fresh; the scones were still warm from the oven! Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.”

“What an absolute gem of a place The food is fantastic i have eaten in the restaurant in the past Brilliant staff This time I had a takeaway as we were staying nearby and had our little dog with us We had Alleppey mango and coriander chicken Coorgi coconut lamb Lemon and cashew nut rice Peshwari naan The food was absolutely lovely as always Next time we will come to the restaurant It gets very busy best to book a table”

“We went to O'Sarrcino for a birthday Sunday lunch and had an amazing time as a party of 8 including 2 children. Our server, Joy, was fantastic, engaging with us in Italian (family member is learning Italian for their holidays) and she was excellent with the children. Service was attentive, but not over the top. Food was excellent, brought out at a good pace. We didn't feel rushed. It's an authentic Italian restaurant, run by Italian staff, with great food and Italian atmosphere. Would highly recommend and it's worth the drive if you're not local!”

“Oh my! This is THE best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! The staff are so lovely! Service is fast! But the food….. oh my absolutely amazing and massive portions! Come here if you can! It won’t disappoint!”

“Had dinner in Buffalo mid-week. We didn’t have a reservation. We got a table straight away. The restaurant was busy. Our server, Shah was very helpful and explore menu and suggested some dishes to meet our requirements. The menu had a great selection of dishes. We especially enjoyed the spinach and feta in filo pastry and the prawns. For the main the braised lamb shank and the moussaka were enjoyed. Mehmet was very helpful and checked in with us throughout the meal to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This is an excellent restaurant with good value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“This was my very first visit to Chez Jerome, I visited with a friend and we were made very welcome. We sat at table no 1 in the window, which looked very Christmasy. We had a extensive menu to choose from. We both chose the festive 3 course menu. I had smoked kipper for starter, my friend chose melon and prawn cocktail. Both were absolutely delicious. We were also served fresh baked small baguette type slices So tasty we finished the lot off! For our mains I chose salmon with seasonal vegetables, my friend chose duck also with seasonal vegetables. The size of the meal was deceiving, there was plenty and we both struggled to get through it, again both were cooked to perfection. Dessert was an amaretto espresso coffee dessert followed by a lovely liquor coffee,I had TIA Maria and my friends had baileys. We also had a glass of water and I had a glass of rosé wine and my friend had a soft drink. The price of the whole meal was very reasonable for what we had. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. My experience here for the first time was really good, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and we were made very welcomed. Thank you to the chef and owners of Chez Jerome and waitress for a great experience.”

“Absolutely loved our experience at Oblique! The food was simply amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The hospitality was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Special shoutout to the owner for being so welcoming and ensuring everything was perfect. Quick responses and genuine care made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!”

“Lovely place with a really nice atmosphere. Great to have such an extensive and varied menu, and the food is fantastic, all made fresh to order from wholesome and delicious ingredients. Came for dinner on a Saturday and had to come back for the Sunday roast while we’re still in the area. Thank you, lovely people and a great all round experience.”

“A very nice local pub, had a great lunch with family, great food enjoyed by all. Nice beer, nice garden. Very clean toilets!”

“Moved to the area and heard nothing but great things about this place, visited twice now and you simply must try it. It’s hidden away but some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The customer service is exceptional, the manager is extremely friendly and chatty and provides such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, we have chatted both times and he’s lovely. And the food.. 10/10. The nachos are incredible, mains are huge and absolutely delicious. Great variety and plenty of GF/Vegan options. Don’t miss this place, it’s the full package and such a reasonable price. Great Saturday evening atmosphere too. I will absolutely be going back again and again.”

“Having been to Thailand on multiple occasions we were so very surprised and delighted to have found such an authentic Thai restaurant. We tried multiple dishes which were all superb. Staff attentive and friendly, nothing was too much bother. Lastly a thank you to the very kind manager who assisted us with our elderly parents.”

“Dropped in mid-week, easy to get a table but they'd quite a number of people in. Still quiet enough to chat easily. Lovely menu, we'll need to get back to try more as the food was great. We ordered a sharing platter, Greek salad, spinach pie and meatballs - it all tasted as good as it looks. Finished off with the orange Pie and coffee. Orange Pie was a great holiday discovery, we've been trying in restaurants ever since... We think this has the No 1 spot now!”

“Pizzas are really good, one of the authentic pizza you can actually find in MK. They only have a few tables to dine in, otherwise they provide delivery services. Their pizza portion are value worthy”

“Staff Friendly, food ok, drink only can order as bottle instead of glasses, but everything still alright. Some people will celebrate their birthday here, birthday songs provided.”

“Just came in for a quick pint before a wedding. Went for the American IPA. Good service. Lovely pint. Even though it was busy, it was lovely and peaceful sat in the beer garden.”

“We called in lunchtime on an awful day( pouring rain and windy) needless to say we were the only diners. Vijay our waiter was excellent: helpful, polite, friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. We had a selection of starters as we like to have a ‘tapas’ type lunch. You get an idea of the standard of food that way. There is complimentary bread and dips and a very good choice of wine. Definitely coming back with friends and family for an evening slap up!!!”

“Beautiful food… I had Bacalhau com natas and it was better than in Portugal itself. Good size portions and nice kids food too! Drove 45 minutes for lunch but was definitely worth it! Will be booking again soon! Thank you”

“Another lovely visit to The Cinnamon Stick on Friday 22nd Aug. A last minute decision to go out so why not our favourite restaurant. Upon arrival we were led in their 'Arabian lounge', decked out to resemble being in a tent in the Leabanon desert. We've not been in that room before and it's delightfully atmospheric. We know the menu well and we like to order a mix of the mezze and starters and ask for the main course (we had Shis Taouk, beautifully cooked and taken off the skewers) to come with the starters. And you then just sit, take your time and enjoy all the amazing flavours. We had a bottle of Lebanese wine to go with the meal, delicious, and the puddings as alway, scrumptious. I always ask for a pot of their Lebanese coffee, it's not on the menu but they always make it, a perfect way to end the meal.”

“The best cod fish and chips and great friendly staff.”

“Absolutely loved our meal here! Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed everything from start to finish. The prawn toast was hands down one of the best we've had – super crispy and full of flavour. Our curries were delicious, packed with taste and spice, and surprisingly affordable too. Service was friendly and efficient, and we didn’t have to wait long at all. Highly recommend if you’re after tasty Thai food and a chilled, welcoming vibe!”

“Very cool, small feeling restaurant, good food and lovely service/staff. On par will other Japanese places I've been to, seemed better value than most. Will definitely go again. If in area. Knocked one star off atmosphere. Not the resturants fault, another table of guests noisily watching videos with loud music. TikToks. Normally, rude patrons wouldn't appear or be relivant to a review, but they seemed far too nonchalant, guessing their regulars, so might be relevant!”

“Three of us had lunch here today after a 10 mile walk. Absolutely excellent food, good beer and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Two courses for £17.50. One of us said that the plaice was the best he'd ever had and the dragon pie was just what we needed”

“Wonderful meal at the Taj Mahal last night. Lovely staff and great food. This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Sandy.”

“The food was amazing. I had a lamb mussaman curry and my mum had a chicken penang curry. Both were delicious. The Penang was spicier than I've tried in the past but maybe that's more authentic! Service was also excellent.”

“Welcome back to Banbury! Just as great as when they were in Lock 29. Really tasty and cooked fresh to order.”

“Popped in for lunch and had a lovely meal. Highly recommend the mushrooms on toast, and the chips were smashing. Slight problem with the battered fish, but the staff were very apologetic, and happy to put things right :) nice touch that the chef also came out to check in with us. P.S. They're dog friendly in the bar!”
