“This is the best Tamil food in Milton Keynes!! Food is so good and big portions at an affordable price. Customer service is 10/10. Highly recommend trying!”

“Had a take away last weekend for the first time from Thai Chef. My telephone call was answered quickly, ordering was easy and efficient and a time given for collecting, my choice 30 minutes. Easy parking outside the restaurant for a pickup or use of the car park behind the restaurant if eating-in, makes it very convenient. My order of Thai green curry, pad Thai and jasmine rice was ready for pick up on time, Sue even included chilli in fish sauce, thank you. All the food was hot by the time I got home in about 15 minutes to the opposite side of town. A highly recommend local restaurant.”

“What a wonderful little restaurant. I must stress the little. But that's what makes this place unique and special. It is bring your own alcohol which I love. The service was great and the food. This is why the people go. Lovely fresh food, cooked to order. Try it out”

“I can count how many times with my fingers I have been to a Turkish restaurant. This restaurant is round the corner from the main market square and Waitrose, which are the main landmarks to me who is not familiar with St Neots. However, the quality of the food and service exceeded my expectation when comparing those Turkish restaurants which I have been to in London and Istanbul respectively. We went for the lunch menu (on a Saturday) - £13.99 for a two-course meal.  I had battered calamari rings for starter. They turned out to be very crispy outside while moist and soft inside. Then I had chicken shish. The chicken cubes were so moist and tasty. I also ordered a 500ml bottle of Turkish beer to share with my friend. The restaurant's owner kindly gave us some bulgur to try. The restaurant was super clean as it had been renovated not long ago. I ended the meal with a well-presented slice of Banoffee pie. Will definitely go back to try other dishes on the lunch menu.”

“Second time visiting this restaurant, and the food was delicious once again! Great service, food was received really quickly. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we always had a drink to hand. Lovely atmosphere, but it was a busy Friday night so it got quite noisy! Very good prices for the quality of food. We will visit again soon!”

“Had lunch here with my folks for my birthday and to say it was a delight is an understatement. Kerry welcomed us and looked after us epically! The food (though took a while) was worth the wait. Beautiful Turkish dishes which were authentic and delicious. It wasn't busy today but we have just hit the 6 people restrictions during covid so I didn't expect it to be busy. I can imagine you'd need to book for an evening, the decor is lovely, modern yet authentic. Great value for their lunch menu, although I couldn't help but want everything so went for the mixed grill! Thank you for looking after us and we look forward to our next visit.”

“We have had the best time. And why do you ask? Because the service has been top notch. If you want a boozy brunch where you drinks are served frequently and endlessly, The Mail Coach is the place to be. The food was great. We all ordered burgers!! The drinks ❤️❤️❤️ amazing!!!! Thank you. We’ll be back!!”

“Was our first time visiting this restaurant and service was fantastic! Simon went above and beyond and took great care to point out the foods that contained pork. We ended up with a very delicious meal and we will definitely visit again. Thank you!”

“Very impressed with my takeaway. Just left a review on a different site but couldn’t copy & paste, so feel free to read the screenshot for a more detailed review!”

“Fantastic food and wonderful service from both the waiting and kitchen staff....across the road from the Ibis Hotel so ideally placed if you fancy either eat in or take out!”

“Cam here on a busy Saturday night. Although the restaurant was busy we got served very quickly and order food quickly. Our waitress was lovely. The food came out very quickly and tasted nice. My partner really liked the spaghetti carbonara. We had dessert, sticky toffee pudding and the Nutella doughnuts. Very nice and came out quick too. Would come back again.”

“I had taken my wife there for her birthday and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant fairly quiet with I think reserved seating. The service very nice and pleasant but the waitress seemed preoccupied. But so what, the food, "oow,..was to live for". Definitely recomend and definitely will be a repeat customer. Well done Bella Italia..!”

“Excellent food! And the selection is huge. So far I just tried sushi, which had really well prepared, high quality fishes. The tempura was also very well done. Will be visiting again to try different asian dishes.”

“A really amazing space and experience. Excellent myriad of dishes that cater for all tastes. Each dish tried was very well cooked with beautiful flavours. I think you have to walk around to take in all the dishes that are on offer before making a selection. The sweet selection was equally extensive with icecream and a candy floss machine. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It is best to book a table beforehand to avoid disappointment. There is a large car parking area outside but only allows 2 hours. There is no heating on that I noticed so it can be quite cold in winter months.”

“Great restaurant, staff were friendly and food was great.”

“I had an excellent experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, well cooked, and full of flavor. The portions were generous and everything came out perfectly. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the atmosphere even better. The pub itself is cozy, clean, and a great place to relax. I was really impressed overall and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a proper pub experience!”

“A great central hotel. Perfect if visiting theatre or other Northampton attractions. Offsite parking is cheap and close. Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were v comfy”

“My first visit here with my wife after hearing lots of positive reviews from others. The reviews were spot on. What a lovely place. The food was served in a timely manner and was hot and tasty. The service was absolutely first class. The staff were all very attentive and helpful throughout our visit. We will definitely be returning for another visit as there's plenty on the menu I want to try. Thank you once again.”

“The place is nice and clean!! The staff friendly! Very good prices!! Perfect place for studying and or a meeting especially during the weekend!!!”

“Me & my family come here on the regular for breakfast, at least once a week, food is always lovely and cooked perfectly, very reasonably priced and the owner is so friendly! Will continue returning each and every week.”

“Some of the best Indian and Bangladeshi food I've ever tasted, the flavours caused delicious explosions in my mouth! Beautifully decorated environment also! Will definitely visit again soon!”

“Fantastic food!! Authentic, clean and delicious. I don’t think there’s a better local takeaway.”

“Friendly atmosphere, very cozy place, very nice and funny waitress! We had nice juicy steak and burgers, everything was very well cooked, it was delicious! For sure we will come back again!”

“Best Indian restaurant in Kingsthorpe. Operating 11 years and providing great service and family run. Love the biryani and chef specials like Anawaka and Zakuti you can’t get elsewhere. 10/10!”

“Brilliant service from our Waitress Ella who was very polite and helpful. Granddaughters love their spag bol and burger. They got a complimentary foccia bread starter and doughball Nutella pudding that they liked. I wasn’t taken by the Carbonara fries although my burger was fine. It was a bit noisy at times plus the fire alarm went off twice.”

“Food was very nice however took a while to come out. Server gave us free drinks for out wait. Would recommend!”

“I highly recommend this restaurant. We’ve been to Deroka many times and always happy with the service and food! On this special occasion it was my son’s Holy Communion. My son specifically picked this restaurant to celebrate with family and friends. What a wonderful choice he made. From booking the table right through to the day was wonderful customer service. A special menu was put together for the occasion, decorations were put up, ice cold jugs of water were set up for when we arrived. Changes on the day were not a huge issue. The owner was so welcoming and extremely kind to everyone. Thank you for such a lovely day!! The food was fantastic, the service was amazing and all were so happy with the day. Thank you for making my son’s day so special.”
