Gourmet in Reading

“I had an amazing experience at SKVP Reading. The food was absolutely outstanding — full of flavour, fresh, and truly authentic Indian street food. The service was excellent as well. A special mention to Mandeep Kaur, who attended me with so much humility and kindness. She was very polite, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit again.”

“Really enjoyed my burger the other day. Great having the choice on how you want it cooked and really loved the onion rings. Staff were great too. Can’t remember his name but the tall older manager was great and really knew the menu and made a great recommendation.”

“Visited Buensado for a family dinner and were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, with perfectly cooked steaks and great attention to detail. The spiral-cut rib-eye stood out as a highlight. A special thank you to our host, Radwane, who looked after us wonderfully. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“Lovely smash burger and good size portion of chips, all freshly cooked and tasted great. Lots of options, check out the menu before ordering! It's now called Salt and Smash btw.”

“Lovely food, tasteful combination of flavours with each course. Excellent service, all the staff were very welcoming and friendly, though the lady who served me, Catia, made the whole experience just that touch better.”

“We use Oriental 5 6 times a year. They are very nice people and the food is excellent.”

“Zero degrees Microbrewery Review: A Blend of Great Brews, Bites, and Atmosphere Recently, I had the pleasure of taking my uncle, visiting from India, to a local microbrewery with a restaurant, and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. The brewery's ambience was a standout feature—industrial yet inviting, with gleaming tanks, pipes, and brewing equipment creating an immersive setting for craft beer enthusiasts. The atmosphere felt lively yet relaxed, perfect for a casual outing. We started with a couple of drinks, and the brewery's offerings did not disappoint. Each sip reflected the artistry of small-batch brewing. For food, we opted for a wood-fired mushroom pizza, buttermilk chicken, and classic French fries. The pizza was a revelation, with a crisp, charred crust and fresh toppings that made every bite flavorful. The buttermilk chicken was succulent, tender, and seasoned to perfection, while the fries were crisp and addictive—an ideal accompaniment to our drinks. The service added another layer of charm to our visit. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.”

“Had a Christmas party here and the service was very friendly, and the food was lovely. Would happily return.”

“Exceptional service and amazing food, I would honestly recommend anyone who is giving second thoughts to this place to please give it a try, because you definitely will be going back for more! Lovely staff and absolutely banging tasty food!”

“Amazing restaurant!! We came here last minute as where we had planned to go was fully booked but I’m so glad we ended up here instead! The servers were so great! Joel was amazing and accommodating to our order changes! The food came out quickly and was so delicious, I’m craving it right now writing this review! We will definitely be back !”

“Food was great, staff were caring. We were running late to collect and made sure our food wasn’t soggy and cold. Would highly recommend, good price”

“First time having food from these guys. I am a coach driver and was stuck at a school all day and had no lunch so ordered through just eat app. Food came really quick, was piping hot, bottle of drink was lovely and cold (best bit as very hot in full uniform sat in sun). It was absolutely gorgeous food as well, way better and cheaper than other 'main' brands. Will definitely use again if out this way again anytime.”

“Great atmosphere; the staff are welcoming with friendly and smiley faces. The pasta service was fast and helpful. Tried the Spicy Pollo Pasta and was tasty; it was ‘al dente’ consistency and pasta sizes was decent. Tips are: -you can self order or also order via the counter with helpful staff if it your first time. -they have nice coffee, though also can help yourself to free tap water with glass by the cutlery area. -wide selection of hot and cold food/drinks. -no need to book as the service is fast. Overall I would recommend a try and visit; positive vibes, lively music (was there during a special promotion), modern and fun.”

“Ordered for the first time tonight. The food arrived quickly and was nice and hot. The four dishes we ordered were very tasty and the portions were a decent size. Very happy with the service.”

“Very below rated online. but i had pizza from here, amazing. Biryani was tasted like real Karachi style. Burgers like McDonalds. And Pizza is better than other local shops. I always go there in person and greeted always warmly. Must try.”

“Ordered online, called to change one small detail (done immediately), and the pizza came very quickly and was hot. Lovely delivery guy (sorry - I can't remember his name). Thanks a lot :-)”

“Lovely, friendly coffee shop with some outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine! Gourmet Queens also provided platters for my Mum's funeral - the food was fresh, delicious and well presented, they catered confidently for special diets, delivery was hassle free - the whole process was so easy at this difficult time. Thank you.”

“Best 'supermarket' sushi you can buy”

“Ordered for pick up on our way back from the airport and we were not disappointed! Food was delicious and we were very happy with it! Highly recommend you try it. We got two Fury burgers, one chicken one beef, and a classic beef burger. Everything was delicious.”

“Great place to get Chinese food from. I always find it tasty and well made. There a good selection for all tastes. Quick to order and it’s prepared in around 10-15 minutes depending on how busy they are.”

“This man knows his flavours, all enjoy everything when he is at breach farm brewery, the quesadillas are awesome. Taco's fantastic, his jollof rice is something else. Everything seasoned perfectly. Always smiling and always happy to interact with the customers. Fantastic all round”

“Amazing food! The chef has so much passion for his food and it shows. Had the dumplings and pork belly starter, both were incredible. Then a pork curry which was delicious. Definitely be back, thanks Shanky!”

“The food here is incredible! Proper authentic Italian focaccia and the staff are incredibly friendly. I eat here pretty much every Saturday!!! It’s that good.”

“My wife and I fancied a proper decent neopolitan pizza, after a quick Google search we discovered The Pizzatarian and after reading thier reviews we had to try it. All I can say is, if you haven't tried this absolutely delicious pizza then you need too. It's right up there with the best you'll eat! Clearly made with love. It's five stars from us.”

“Amazing pizza place! Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“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.”
