Family restaurants in Reading

“1000% would recommend popping in here for a great feed. Hands down my favourite Mexican I’ve had so far since moving to the UK. The beef brisket is so full of flavor and juicy. As you can see from the photos we ordered quite a lot and there wasn’t a single bad plate of food. Every plate was delicious and very reasonably priced. If you’re in the Reading area and are looking for some amazing food, definitely stop off here. :)”

“Nice place!!!! Never had the pleasure to try Nepalese cuisine. What a discovery!!! Food was great and service was amazing! The owner and the staff were very attentive. Two extra words for the owner: super character. Very funny and chatty! A pleasure to be here.”

“Hey Presto! From the moment we arrived, the service at this place was exceptional. Despite being a large party of 15, they accommodated us at very short notice—something many places wouldn’t even attempt on a busy weekend day. The manager/owner personally welcomed us, which set the tone for the rest of our visit. He went out of his way to explain that the chicken and lamb are halal, which was not only thoughtful but allowed several of us to explore more of the menu confidently. On his recommendation, we ordered the chicken focaccia, which turned out to be a standout—tender, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommended. The pizzas were genuinely authentic Neapolitan style—light, airy crust with just the right char, and high-quality ingredients you can taste in every bite. The food came out quickly, and despite the group size, the waitresses were welcoming, attentive, and incredibly efficient, ensuring everyone was looked after without missing a beat. To finish, we had coffee—and I can honestly say, it was the best I’ve had in Maidenhead. Rich, smooth, and perfectly pulled. We followed that with fresh cannoli, which were the ideal sweet finish. There’s a certain charm to the atmosphere here. With the smell of fresh dough, barista-quality coffee, and the staff’s warmth, if the people around were dressed just a bit more elegantly, you might just mistake yourself for an eaterie in Naples or Rome. This was my first visit to Presto, but absolutely won’t be the last. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food, personal service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere all in one.”

“Great quality pan pizzas - good value and I keep coming back for more.”

“We popped into Veena's Kitchen on a bit of a whim yesterday evening and can say with confidence it was the best Thai food I've had in years. The starters were tasty (chicken wings & prawn crackers) & the Thai Green Curry was delicious & punchy. My partner had the Pad Gra Phrao which was also very tasty. Service was impeccable & the total bill reasonable. I can highly recommend a visit. We'll be back very soon!”

“The food was very tasty, quality and was authentic. The staff ( Pai) was very nice and friendly. Good atmosphere. I will definitely recommend it”

“This is hands-down the best Polish restaurant in the UK! Every dish I've tried has been absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that leave you satisfied. The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the service is exceptional—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The only improvement I’d suggest is adding air-conditioning, as it can get quite warm inside, especially during hot weather. Otherwise, an outstanding dining experience that I highly recommend!”

“Amazing pizza place! Highly recommended.”

“Amazing environment, very well maintained restaurant in Yately. Remarkable chef who cooks literally Authentic Indian food! Must try all of their items because you won’t regret anything at all! Toilets are also neat and clean which you don’t see in any Indian restaurants.”

“First time visiting here, will definitely be back! Delicious food and fantastic service. Can't fault it at all. I had the duck curry and jasmine rice as pictured, and it was lovely!”

“Best pizza in Farnham, and that includes their Gluten Free base. Delicious with great ingredients. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. My favourite is the Italian pop music, and trattoria style decor. A real neighbourhood restaurant, a gem x”

“We found Avanti by accident during a rather soggy few hours at BunkFest. We booked a table, left to enjoy more music and headed back. The welcome and service was excellent despite the business of the evening. The food was absolutely delicious and house red....yum! We don't live in the town but will definitely be back. If you're looking for an authentic Italian with fresh ingredients and super service, this is the place to go.”

“I came here last night to celebrate my birthday, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made me and my friends feel so welcome and taken care of. The service was absolutely unmatched — it’s so rare these days to find a place where everyone goes above and beyond to make your night special. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was lovely, and the whole night just felt perfect. I can’t thank the team enough for making it such a wonderful celebration. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious home cooked food and in generous portions! We are big fans of the Nasi Lemak and order it all the time. As a Singaporean, it is a real taste of home!”

“Great tasting taco options and friendly people.”

“This is my 4th order!!! I love her dishes. She sent them to me by delivery all the way to London. Highly recommended. Delicious! Here are my list of purchases which I keep ordering for: They can be kept in the fridge for over a week. Ganjang gejang Yangyum gejang Yeon eo Jang Seawoo jang ojingeo jeotgal”

“We try steak double cheese pie and lamb mince pie, not bad,gravy also recommended”

“As great as ever! Been unlucky with timings recently - always best to check the website to make sure its open. The best coffee in Reading and really tasty food that arrives before you expect it! The owners are absolutely lovely, they really care about the people who visit, if I lived in Kennet Island I would definitely go every day it was open, 100% worth a detour to visit if you live remotely near Reading. :)”

“This was great time spent at Zizzi for my daughter's 18th Birthday. Best place in Newbury we chosen to celebrate birthday with her 15 friends. Great Hospitality, excellent ambiance, friendly staff and needless to say excellent food and beverages. Manager Sachin and other staff members joined us for birthday cake cutting which made birthday more joyful and memorable. Surely recommend to my other friends. Thank you Zizzi.”

“The best sushi we have eaten. Mo is warm and friendly and has given us free tasters due to the amount of times we've been in. There is almost always space to just walk in, honestly this place should be rammed each night. A must visit for Newbury if you like Sushi.”

“Beautiful cafe, food and owners. I was driving back to North Wales after visiting friends in Camberley and Deepcut. My brakes suddenly failed. Thankfully I managed to pull into a housing estate and parked. I had no idea where or if there was a garage I asked several people but most ignored me. I could not get a signal on my phone. I was soaking wet from walking around trying to get signal. I was also very cold and very tired. There were no hotels and it was getting dark. I found this lovely cafe further up the road. It was closing time but the very kind owners told me to go in and get warm and dry, they also made great coffee and cooked food for me. Their kindness was overwhelming after the scary and horrible experience I had when the car suddenly went out of control and the brakes failed due to an ABS problem. A teenage girl told me where to get help and gave me directions. Very grateful to her too”

“Both the food and service were exceptional. Such a beautiful meal. Will 100% come back more often. Stunning!!”

“WOW! That is what you get when you search for the best restaurant in Wokingham! Fabulous venue, the most attentive and well dressed staff all topped off with a fantastic vegan smorgasbord of Indian delights. Cannot recommend highly enough, you will not be disappointed.”

“Visited Heckfield Place for the second time this year, and the experience was every bit as impressive, if not more so, than our first stay last year. This place will always hold a special place in my wife and I’s hearts, and even objectively it stands out as one of the top-tier establishments we’ve ever stayed at. From the room quality and finishing to the food and breakfast offerings, every detail is beautifully executed. This time we had the privilege of dining at Hearth Restaurant, which was absolutely outstanding. The service was impeccable from check-in to check-out; there wasn’t a single thing you could fault them for. We also loved walking around the lovely grounds, enjoying the afternoon tea and cake service, and relaxing with drinks in the intimate Moon Bar. Everything felt seamless, from the interiors to the setting to the hospitality. In short, Heckfield Place is exceptional in every sense, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“We had 2 incredible meals at Sapori di Casa that truly lifted our spirits after 2 long days. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and the portion sizes were far more generous than you'd expect for such a reasonably priced menu. Service was top-notch. Alessio, who I remember as being either the manager or head waiter, was brilliant — attentive without being overbearing, happy to accommodate small tweaks to our orders, and always ready with a helpful recommendation. His friendly nature and Italian charm added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. Our group of seven had travelled from Glasgow for a funeral, and these 2 dinners over 2 nights gave us a chance to unwind in a gentle, joyful way. It was nourishing in every sense — great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely lovely people. Highly recommend.”

“Hands down THE BEST pizza in Aldershot. Doesn’t taste like some cheap takeaway pizza that you can get anywhere. It feels almost as if it’s homemade. The restaurant itself is very nice. You may not notice it but there is an area with some tables if you go down the corridor. You can definitely see how passionate the owners were when making this place and well… the food. I also reccomend the spaghetti carbonara”

“Fantastic place to eat. I've been going here for the last 2 years or so and so far have not had a bad experience. That includes me and my wife, family parties and using their take-away service. The service is amazing, all polite, efficient and the owner of the restaurant is always on hand and thanks us as we leave. The drinks are a little pricer than I would like but that is the same no matter where you go and the pudding options are very limited (although I'm usually stuffed before getting to them) but overall, a brilliant place.”

“Excellent breakfast, friendly service. They can make a breakfast as you like it. Highly recommended.”

“Simon & Jason are celebrating 20 years since they opened the Wellington Arms & it's packed every day when open with regulars & new 'word of mouth' clients. 10 out of 10 for quality of food, service, atmosphere & beautiful garden & surroundings. Great menu & daily dishes that made it difficult to choose. I had the 2xbaked cheese souffle stacked with a mountain of finely grated parmesan & my friend had scallops (both simply the best) followed by perfectly cooked calves liver on a bed of mashed potato & leeks with pancetta & perfect mix of herbs then their home-made ice cream.”

“Lovely food and service. Nice atmosphere.”
