"We booked a table, surprisingly it wasn’t that busy. There were lots of delivery drivers collecting, easy to understand why. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Not hot either. Bring your own alcohol if you want a drink, soft drinks only served, well advertised. They don’t charge corkage either. We started with a poppodom each, they were freshly cooked (not the usual pre made reheated rubbish), they were like fluffy but crunchy clouds, they just melted in the mouth, not hard and not oily. I could easily eat half a dozen of these with mango chutney and raita for a meal. The mango chutney and raita are made freshly in the restaurant, unfortunately the manager wouldn’t share the recipes, darn lol. Considering everything is made fresh to order the service is very quick. I hadn’t even finished my poppodom before the chicken tikka starter arrived. Hubby and I shared a chicken tikka starter, we have both been eating Indian food for over 40 years, and said we both thought it was the best chicken tikka we had ever tasted. It was succulent, and delicious. It could only have been improved by the raw sliced onions accompanying it having been lightly fried. Served with a piece of hot lemon too, perfect. The King Prawn Karahi was excellent, awesome taste, the Chilli Chicken was suitably hot and had a delicious flavour as well. We were so busy eating and waxing lyrical about our dinner we hardly had time to talk to each other lol. We ordered Keema Rice, I was disappointed because it had peppers and tomatoes in it (that’s a first for us). As I had asked for my dish to have no peppers or tomatoes we mentioned it to the manager, he apologised, said it was an error and removed the rice from our bill. The manager was very nice, did a check back as well. The portions are a good size, so value for money. If we lived nearer we would probably have a weekly delivery from here, if not more often. It’s rare to get perfectly cooked food with such good flavour, and great service as well. Definitely looking forward to next time we eat here. I can highly recommend eating here. Can’t remember the last time I thought that, or found a restaurant this good. Thank you to the manager and chef for making our little break perfect."

"Sadly very bad for allergies. I came with my 8 yr old for a rare holiday treat. She has allergies and sushi is her fave food and one of the restaurant choices we eat in pretty risk free. She’s never reacted to sushi and never had this issue in a sushi restaurant. I explained she had a corn and gluten allergy. The lady said even the items listed as gf on the allergy menu could have gluten in due to the nature of the way the chefs work. We have gluten in our kitchen as my hubby can’t be bread free so I said that’s ok if they try their best, wash hands etc will be fine. I chose items which had no sauces etc. But waitress was still looking pretty horrified and said highly likely wouldn’t be gf. I asked if they could simply wipe down the surface and make some fresh a few rolls of maki nothing complex she said oh no we don’t make it fresh oh I thought that was the point of going to a restaurant! At this point my poor daughter said mummy I really don’t feel comfortable eating food made here. How sad that she was made to feel like that. So we left, got the train home, popped to sainsburies, where the lovely ladies at the sushi counter made us fresh yummy sushi, happily taking some extra care around the allergies. 40 mins later we were happily eating it in our comfortable home. Pull it together yo sushi. Honestly allergies are a part of life train your staff not to look at you like you’re an elephant when you mention you have them. Surely you can do better than sainsburies?"

"Unfortunately I had a very bad experience at Fortune Restaurant. Firstly, we asked for prawn crackers whilst we browsed the menu and he said that we had to wait until we ordered. After ordering a selection of starters and main courses, our prawn crackers arrived. What a disappointment they were. They actually tasted of wood as though they had been stored in a cupboard and when we asked when were they cooked, are they fresh? The gentleman responded and told us they batch cook them in the morning and just use them throughout the day/evening. Our starters arrived and everything seemed to be ok. Only fault there would have been the long wait between finishing our starter and receiving our mains. When the mains finally arrived; sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, steamed vegetable dumplings and smoked shredded chicken. The sweet and sour chicken and chow mein seemed fine. However the dumplings tasted like cardboard and had a very strange texture and the smoked shredded chicken was inedible. It was rock hard and I did not even attempt to try this. We asked the gentleman to remove them from the bill and he did however we noticed all of the food tended to go cold very quickly. After leaving the restaurant, I was not impressed and it is not somewhere I plan on returning. Shortly after arriving home, I felt unwell and actually threw up. I am certain this is after eating at the restaurant. Overall, the restaurant was dirty and very out-dated. I would not recommend to anyone!!!!!!!!! P.S IT HURT ME TO EVEN LEAVE 1 STAR"

"This place has always been expensive. We used to go here many years ago and the food always tasted top. However… this time around… it was dead. We went as 3 people. It was late, but they were open till much later. The two chefs...looked upset that we were walking in….. maybe we should not blame them, maybe they were tired etc but they both looked at all of us and were disappointed that we were walking in… We ordered quite a big selection of food; The kibbeh were nice, the hommous i liked but someone else didnt. The fattoush was horribly made that was not fattoush. Keep in mind, we are middleastern. The cocktails were nice, but i was told that they came in the wrong glass/colour of cocktail was off… The service was pretty good : We waited too long for our mains. We only ordered 2 lentil soups but they gave us 3 they looked bad, did not taste like good lebanese lentil soup. For 3, it was almost £19 something!!!!!!! My shawarma wrap and fries were good, not the salad that came with it. It looked like it was thrown onto the plate. A yogurt dish was nice. The seabass was not good, it looked unappetizing and tasted bland. Expensive… The regular mixed Shawarma meal looked very dry, thrown together, salad looked thrown together, rice looked old, everything just looked old, dry and thrown together quickly. We picked lebanese bread but we got standard pitta bread… I can’t remember what else went wrong lol. For an expensive place this stuff should be better than regular food! Also…. shock horror….. our bill came up to £130. Madness. Whats worse? THE SERVICE CHARGE ON THE BILL. £14.90 or something. WHAT?!?! The guy who counted our cash…. i counted £130 but he counted it to be £120…. argh…. hope he wasn’t lying. Should’ve done more at the time but we had enough lol. It wasn’t all bad dont get me wrong but the majority of the food was badly prepared and very dry… was not made to a good level : . I had another video of the soups but cant find it…."
