"I visited this restaurant recently and opted for the Set Meal for 3. Unfortunately, it included only 2 prawns and 2 mussels in their shells, and there wasn’t a substantial amount of chicken in the other dishes. While the ambience and service were excellent, I found the quantity of food to be lacking. Overall, I would rate the food a 3, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 4."

"Second visit in the last two months. Fantastic and authentic cuisine. Very passionate chef. Tells you all about the dishes. How they were made where they originate from. Listens to customers and will add things to the menu. Dipping sauce with dough balls and a delicious plumb tart. Can’t wait to go again. Mouthwatering. Definitely worth a visit."

"great food! No mummicks. when entering it does not look as much as compared to other local restaurants. it's quite small and you could say that the decor is maybe dated. but if they sit down, they realize that the facility added to us feel like we really were in a small restaurant in italy. also the personal and the atmosphere created there were fantastic. for an hour we really felt like on holiday in italien, in a small caffe on a side street. la lupa doesn't try to be everything it isn't. perfect authentic Italian cuisine and it was delicious. in any case it will make our regular weekend. very fair. brilliant."

"Went to the restaurant for a meal as the food is always great. Due to a medical issue we had to go home. The staff were happy to box the meals up so we could take them home. They were more concerned about us. Fantastic staff and on the medical side all is good on of the problems you occasionally get with diabetes."

"Just like to begin and say I’m new to tripadvisor, after visiting this restaurant last night I had to share my pleasant experience with you all. Excellent food and fantastic service. When we arrived at the restaurant we were pleasantly greeted at reception and taken to the table by our waiter. Would like to say really like the fact that you are assigned one waiter and they follow through with bringing your popadomms, drinks, taking your order all the way through to bringing you bill at the end of the evening. When out for a relaxing evening no-one likes being swamped by many different staff members coming over all the time and intruding like I’ve experienced in other local establishments. Our waiter was very pleasant and polite and always on hand to deal with our requests and take drinks orders etc. Think his name was Adeed. Also this place is very child friendly as I could see from another table and wouldn’t hesitate in bringing my kids here. Maybe for the Sunday buffet! Overall, really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning. Keep up the good work Indian Ocean and would love to see more young charismatic staff."

"I have been coming to El Sapo for many years bringing family, friends and groups for special occasions, sometimes last minute but Geraldine always manages to squeeze me in. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming and know many of their customers by name. I brought my friend as a birthday treat this evening and she told me she'd actually been at weekend with her family but was still wanting to go again as she loved it. The sangria is very moreish and I have been known to have a full jug to myself.... The food is always in my experiences great value, delicious and plentiful whether it's the banquet, main menu or Thursday special 2 for 1. My friends and I have eaten out at many restaurants including some where it is clear you are just paying for the name El Sapo is my favourite go to for the relaxed atmosphere (you can talk and hear each other), helpful staff and lovely comforting food. I will be back again and again"

"Shocking service. Not up to the usual standard on the buffet bar. we arrive with one young woman serving at the bar and one person waiting. We waited our turn and were completely ignored and she served someone else first. At this point we were irritated but we waited until she served these gents. At that point a man came from the kitchen and asked who 's next. Started to serve another customer before corrected by the woman server and came to us. We at this point started it was actually our go before these guys only for the woman to lie and said 'i asked who was next ' which she never did. I thought we should try and support here since the railways shut but after this service and I 'm not sure we will be returning again. It has left a real sour taste in are mouth."

"I arrived at the restaurant and found the car park was full, so I had to park across the road and walk over. There were four people smoking at the entrance, so I had to walk through the smoke. Once inside, the restaurant looked nice and spacious. I placed my order, but halfway through the lady at the till took a phone call. When I sat down, the table was not clean. I waited 8 minutes and 25 seconds for my food, which was reasonable. The server was friendly. The food was delicious, but at £13.50, I thought it was a bit pricey. Overall, it was a good experience, but I probably won't return due to the high prices."

"we visited the afternoon so that I only saw the brunch menu that consisted of a full-day vegan breakfast and a special (soup.) I went for the breakfast consisting of sausage, toast (with vegan margarine,) mushrooms, tomatoes, borons, avocado and my special highlight kartoffel hasch. the breakfast is offered with a cup of tea at a heel milk without a price. overall a really fantastic little caffe and I look forward to tasting the dinner menu that apparently includes pizza! updated by the previous review on 2021 11 08"

"For my daughter’s birthday she chose to have breakfast with family and friends at Frankie and Benny’s and we were really well looked after. There is free parking here and it is adjacent to the restaurant which is on the perimeter of Crown Point North shopping centre. We received a warm welcome and a table for ten was waiting for us. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the atmosphere was good. Ellis was our waiter and he was courteous, polite and friendly for the duration of our visit. I felt that they could have benefitted from more resources at times, as the restaurant got busy at one point and Ellis and his manager seemed under pressure. But the food arrived in decent time and was all delicious. Drinks were sometimes a little slow arriving but we were kept informed. The vegan and vegetarian fry ups were lovely. Ellis kindly brought out a birthday cake for my daughter and allowed us to use ten plates and forks which was appreciated. All in all we spent two hours in the restaurant, we felt looked after and everyone enjoyed their breakfast."

"we were hungry and saw this place, we stopped and we are so glad that we did. the food was absolutely delicious. we had steak ale and mushroom cake, which was served either with fat chips or thin chips, gravy and mushy heapsen. every article was served in his own pot, which was great for me, as I don't like to inherit. there was nothing to blame for the meal. we have lemon and honey cheese cake for aftercare, wow it was beautiful, the basic was made from a mix of ginger biscuits and hobbys made it so good. the young lady who served us was very friendly. I recommend a visit here, we will go back soon"

"Revisited for a Sunday roast the meats looked pretty dry. More than half the turkey seemed to have gone, as well as part of the beef a little odd when we were there when the lunch service started at 11.45. How long have the meats been there where did they go? We opted for the gammon which looked the most decent. The portion of meat was small; it tasted OK but was a tad salty. There was a selection of lukewarm veg, some of which were undercooked (like the carrots) some were overcooked (like the green beans which were too soft). We were glad there were parsnips on offer did like the purple cabbage as it was something different from the regular veg selection. The Yorkshire pudding was light crisp as well, which was good. Overall, it was an unremarkable visit but we are glad we got a roast dinner fix."

"A football game at the Etihad brought to this Indian in Stalybridge. It's location at the end of a shopping precinct was strange as was the dark (early evening) interior which was mostly empty. We were put right at the back where the poor lighting made it even darker. Service by a single gentlemen was efficient but not particularly personable. The food started well and we were given ample amounts of dip to accompany our poppadums. The curries however were a little disappointing. My son and I ordered very different curries but they looked and tasted very similar. My Jaipur dish was dominated by red peppers there was no mention of them in the menu description! The long and sometimes tough slivers of chicken tikka were also not too our liking. The food was relatively cheap but we have had much better in many other Indian establishments. As we left at 7.30pm on a Saturday evening the restaurant was still very empty........I wonder why?!"

"4 of us went here for a meal and night out as there was a singer guitarist on. 2nd visit of the year, staff very pleasant and friendly. We had the rib eye rossini steaks. Very tasty, medley of veg was superbly cooked, The steaks were a little over done i asked for medium and it was well done. Its so hard to get steaks right.. some one will,complain its under done others over done.. Still enjoyed it though, One of the party had fish and chips, the fish was big and he really enjoyed. The selection of beers is excellent. Spoilt for choice. We moved to the other room for the entertainment. Stayed all night and had a hangover the next day. Must have been good ! Will return."

"Tried this place last night with my family. We used to order from here and I remember the food being really nice. I wasn't disappointed, we ordered Sheek Kebab and Chicken Pakora for our starters and for the mains we ordered Lamb Bhuna, Chilli Chicken Masala and a Chicken Jalfrezi. We also got 2 Garlic Naan and 2 Pilau rice. The portions were a good size for the price and our party of 5 was more than stuffed by the end of it. The naan is massive so we had a bit left over. There were some instances where we had to wait for things like menu's after being seated, the bill when we finished and the card reader after getting the bill. Other than that our server was very polite and helpful. He was kind enough to give us Poppadoms on the house which was sweet. The place is pretty small with maybe about 6 tables but I thought it was rather cosy. Would definitely recommend."

"Our previous regular had become increasingly more expensive yet increasingly more hit and miss for quality of the meals so we decided to try this one after reading other reviews and we are so glad we did! The portion sizes are great, it’s really good value for money, the dishes are really tasty, and staff have always been friendly. The prawn crackers and light are fresh tasting, salt are pepper chips great and the sweet and sour chicken and crispy shredded chicken in Cantonese sauce are some of our favourites. Not forgetting the Pekin ribs.. the list goes on. It’s not the closest to us, and they don’t deliver but it’s well worth the extra effort!"

"My friend and I were out walking around Debdale Reservoirs and up near the Donkey Sanctuary and fancied a drink and a light lunch. As my friend had her dog with her we needed somewhere that was dog friendly. Sadly the nearest gastro pub was not, and it was too cold to sit outside, so we carried on walking until we came to the Sheldon Arms. I popped in to ask and was shown the dog friendly area of the restaurant where there was a tiled floor, perfect! We chose to have soup and fresh bread and the carrot and coriander soup was delicious. We saw the carvery whilst we were in there and that looked amazing, but we just wanted a light lunch. It was a warm retreat on a cold day and the manager and bar man were very friendly. Before we left my friend’s little doggie had a bowl of water too! Lovely food and great service, will definitely visit again."

"I tried a gourmet burger tonight. Mighty messy and mighty tasty! There were enough fries in a portion to feed an army too. The staff were happy helpful. I will definitely be back. : Update from another visit... The food was ready bang on time and the staff were friendly and chatty as always. The mix of tandoori, grilled peppers and lovely naga pickle on the M's Chilli Burger is the most divine thing I have tasted in some time, with just the right amount of heat. Be warned that if you order the large french fries, then you may need a trolley to get your order home since they can only be described a half of a sackful! I will definitely be heading back here to try other things from the menu."
