Restaurant experiences in Reading

“I recently enjoyed a delightful luncheon with friends at this establishment. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, and the staff was exceptionally courteous. The food was, without a doubt, delicious. I certainly plan to return.”

“Food was amazing. Very friendly and open staff. Highly recommend”

“As a fan of Indian food we thought we would try the new Chili's and we were definitely impressed. The menu being regional to Southern India means it is not what you see in your typical curry house, but the waiter here was amazing, helping guide our choices and tuning dishes to our taste. If I could I would rate them 6 stars”

“Very attentive wait staff that take their work seriously, great authentic food and a buzzing, vibrant atmosphere. Would recommend.”

“We went to Daniele Sicilian for our Golden Wedding anniversary. We took 20 friends and family and had an amazing time. The food was excellent everyone enjoyed it, there were no complaints other than there more than enough. The staff could not have been more helpful, they were attentive but discreet. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank you all so much for making our special day sogood”

“This is a place to visit several times. Fantastic service! One of the best Tiramisu in the UK? I think so. Pizza was good, and not the right dish to give 5 stars as such. Sitting outside was ok, and really the only choice the place was packed inside on a Sunday. And only 19£ for Pizza, soda and dessert. That’s pretty nice:-) And I have to apologise: I forgot to tip! Was so nice talking to the waiter I completely lost track of the usual routine…. Will come back and make this right!”

“This Italian restaurant was packed even on a regular weekday — and after tasting the food, I completely understand why. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended.”

“Very tasty grilled food. Nice view of river Thames. The tea is great as well.”

“*5/5 Stars* "I stumbled upon Chopstik Noodle Bar last night, and I'm so glad I did! As a noodle enthusiast, I was blown away by the variety of options on the menu and spicy. I opted for the Spicy chicken with noodles , and it did NOT disappoint. The service was also top-notch. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I'm so impressed with Chopstik Noodle Bar. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the flavors are on point. I'll definitely be back!”

“Orwell’s delivered an unforgettable Christmas day lunch! The food was absolutely sublime, with every dish crafted to perfection. The front-of-house staff were warm, attentive, and made the experience even more special. Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish – highly recommended!”

“I took my wife for her birthday here, and I must say, it was a memorable experience. The food they served was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to a wide range of preferences. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and courteous, making us feel truly special. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. It's safe to say that this place left a lasting impression on me, and I'm sure to return in the future.”

“Valle D’Oro is a wonderful family run independent Italian Restaurant in Newbury town centre, it’s food and drink selection is very good, so many options for steaks, the service was fast and friendly and you could tell the staff really care about their customers and the venue itself is cosy and well decorated. I had the steak in peppercorn sauce, I think if I ordered again I’d go for rare instead of medium rare. The fillet steak itself was incredible, it’s in my top five all time steaks, and it one of my go to items on menus so I’ve had lots in the past. The peppercorn sauce was also excellent, very thick and incredibly peppery, creamy goodness. The portion sizes are massive, so be careful not to over order, the vegetable selection looked amazing but we had no room left to try it. This is a great local business, it’s been located in Newbury since the 1080’s and you can see why it’s been so successful and long lived, it’s just brilliant, most highly recommend”

“Excellent Quality Food and Outstanding Service I had a truly wonderful experience and can confidently say that both the food quality and service were exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were polite, attentive, and genuinely eager to make the experience enjoyable. The food was outstanding—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. Every dish was clearly made using high-quality ingredients, and the presentation was impressive. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the balance of flavours showed real care and skill in the cooking. You can tell that attention to detail is a priority here. What really stood out was the consistency. Everything arrived on time, hot, and exactly as described. Any special requests were handled professionally and without hesitation, which made the experience even better. The service deserves special praise. Staff were knowledgeable, patient, and always available without being intrusive. They checked in at the right moments and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. This level of customer care really sets the place apart. The overall atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal—whether dining in with family, friends, or visiting for a casual meal. Overall, this is a place that delivers on quality, service, and value. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to others”

“The food here is so good. The portion is generous. The service is the best and the atmosphere is good. Would highly recommend this restaurant”

“At Monsoon this evening, the team truly redefined what service means in a dining experience. It’s rare these days to find such a genuine sense of hospitality, and it was quite refreshing. The staff worked seamlessly together, creating an inviting atmosphere where you could tell they genuinely cared about making every guest feel special. Abu, who looked after us throughout the night, made us feel like more than just customers—by the end of the evening, he felt like a friend. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the menu were impressive, and his recommendations were spot on. You could see how much pride he took in presenting the dishes, a sign of a restaurant that truly values its own food and its customers too. The food arrived quickly, hot and delicious, reflecting the precision and coordination of a well-oiled team. The quality of the dishes was exceptional, making it clear that this is a place worth returning to. It’s been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time, and we’ll definitely be back.”

“Absolutely amazing place and people! Every single staff member is so lovely and kind they always have the customer in mind. My other half has collected a couple of takeaways before hand but today I saw the restaurant they have - it’s beautiful! The food is second to none. I genuinely have never tasted Indian food like it in the UK! Will be a regular customer from now on.”

“We are very lucky to get a table for three on Friday night without prior reservation. We are very impressed by the foods we ordered, everything is so delicious! I particularly love the seafood and chicken paella we ordered, the meat is generous, good amount for three people to share, so tasty!Also, the service is fairly attentive and quick, every staff is wearing a smile on their face. I haven’t enjoyed dining in a restaurant so much as today. Highly recommended!”

“We ordered from you guys for delivery tonight. It arrived 10 mins earlier than predicted and was genuinely delicious. My partner and I agreed that it's probably the best pizza we've ever had! And comparatively cheap! An awesome cheat day, thanks!!!”

“The dark eel roll was a perfect balance of flavours and the lotus root had a satisfying crunch. The Oolong tea was weak for my preference but still worth it. Service was fast and efficient!”

“Came here on my lunch break, ordered the large box because I thought the small and medium looked too small however my eyes mislead me the large was very hard to finish and more than enough! Very delicious food, waiting time wasn’t bad either and a lovely restaurant. Will definitely come again and I recommend”

“Nice and quiet place for dinner. I had the chicken shish taouk wrap and Fatayer. The wrap is 8/10 and the prices are reasonable”

“Had such a great time at LaFontana!! This is my first time visiting England from the US, and I was amazed by the food and service that I went to get the same meal two days in a row. The menu is exceptional, you can literally get anything you want, they got burger, pizza, steak, and even seafood! I’d go there every day if I could!”

“My local curry restaurant. I highly recommend that you try this place if you like curry and you live in the reading area. Quite possibly the only reason to come to burghfield unless you live here or you've got lost looking for somewhere else. The onion bhajis are excellent to start. The mixed grill main course is a family favourite and I'm slowly working my way through their other dishes - so far, all good. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent.”

“Great Mexican with nice decor and super friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails are amazing. Big and strong, like they should be and the same with the starters. Large portions. The mains were equally big and full of flavour. Would definitely be coming back for more.”

“Excellent Italian restaurant. Fabulous food and exceptional service.”

“Lovely atmosphere delicious food and kind staff. Honestly, it’s amazing. Would come again!”

“Came for sushi and didn’t leave disappointed! Really lovely and friendly staff, delicious, fresh and well presented food and thought the prices were reasonable too. Definitely a good choice for Sushi in Oxford!”

“I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.”

“I had an amazing experience at Bella Napoli. The service was outstanding, and the food was the best I've eaten in Abingdon.”

“Great friendly service and a lovely atmosphere on the river. First time in Oxford and this was a great place for a Sunday roast. Just wish there was a bit more gravy included, but the beef and potatoes were excellent.”
