"The service definitely needs improvement. The hostess who seated us in the dining area didn’t properly hand us over to the waitstaff. When the staff finally approached us, they were unaware that we had made a reservation for afternoon tea. During our meal, a staff member spilled my cup of tea twice while rearranging dishes on the table, yet they didn't offer to refill it. Additionally, there was a loud internal training session on gin for the entire waitstaff taking place right next to our table, which was quite disruptive. This was not what I expected from China Tang. While the food was decent, I was overall disappointed with the experience."

"If I could I would give zero stars. Incredibly racist staff who ended up making my 9 year old niece cry at her own birthday dinner. After being forced to pay for all food upfront, we simply queried about the service charge then added to our additional drinks we wanted to pay for at the end. We still paid for this and as the waiter was getting our payment decided to tell us we would no longer be welcome there as the manager heard us talking about the service charge. When I then told the waiter this was Incredibly inappropriate to do at the table, he didn 't even apologise. I then spoke to the manager and told him how inappropriate that was he simply shrugged his shoulders and when we even mentioned my niece was crying he again shrugged his shoulders. When I said 'how can you not even offer an apology ' he then decided to say 'OK then, sorry '. I believe this treatment was down to the fact we were a Black family as we could see how the staff treated others in the restaurant. Terrible terrible attitude and would not recommend if you aren 't of their target demographic."

"Late lunch with my son, After we had ordered, he started reading reviews, sounded pretty awful but I said to him what other reviews have these people written? The drinks arrived along with complementary humus and flat bread. Probably the best humus I have eaten. He had grilled haloumi to start, he didn 't complain. Next the mains, lamb moussaka, lamb kofta and coated fried chicken. The moussaka was up there with the best, the hot koftas were marvelous but it was the rice that did it for me, individual extra long grains with a fantastic floral taste. The chicken went down well with a comment that was good (praise from a 17 year old). I enjoyed the pomegranate drink it was a welcome change. After we dropped him off at home in Lincoln he said thanks, the meal was really great. My only comment was the tape loop music, we heard the same songs (pan-pipes) twice. Don 't believe the bad reviews, this is an excellent restaurant. Very friendly and reasonable value thanks for the complimentary Baklava, which was also excellent"

"The last time we came here was several years ago and the restaurant is much more attractive now twice the size, warmer and cosier even on a freezing winter’s night, that distinctive Middle Eastern music playing quietly in the background while the food is as delicious as ever. We shared some spicy mutabal to start, with flatbreads to dip. And then Jenny moved onto a generous plateful of what she was wonderfully tender chicken and rice. I opted for a selection of hot mezze dishes, always my favourite: mujadarrah, a classic combination of lentils and rice topped with crispy fried onion, ful medamas (Egyptian style field beans in a hugely garlicky and lemony sauce) and spinach and cheese bourak or borek, crispy pastry parcels. They were the only slightly disappointing fish, I thought I’ve had versions made with filo pastry and they’re rather lighter. A great mezze combination though. Good service from the helpful young Syrian waiter, a fine value meal and in a nice atmosphere we were very happ, and it’s great to see Rowsha’s thriving."

"Hidden gem near the Excel. Great food, hearty conversations beautiful views. The steaks and grill items are always spot on in taste and presentation. Very reasonably priced total value for money. Food is always fresh, service is chilled out, and a very casual relaxing environment. And everything's halal, including the full English breakfast! Would go back anytime when I'm in the area."
