"meanwhile through a busy week, I decided to be a little bit cheeky by jumping off the work for a few hours. a quick text to my friend and a finished customer meet later, I was on the way to a lazy lunch. we heard the buzz over the recently reworked white swan at chancery lane. herr flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him he was gone on the business and let the ladies explore in his absentness. this former irrigation hole was historically a popular hot spot of the fleet street pressebrigade before it turned into a posh pub and dining room. now again opened as pub and cophouse, the natives are already in the waiting line to come. at the entrance were the delicious aromen from the dining room to sue us up. rule number one of the lazy lunches dictates, however, that a frecher g t has to be consumed before eating in a sleepy manner. gin is something that the white **** has in full! our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick ginn, served long and chilled with a gurkenband. this is the point! the new chophouse theme was certainly well received. past are the white tablecloths and wallpapers, replaced by trendy exposed bricks and deep wooden tables. this beautiful room is available for private rental and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. the menu consists of pub favorites, cuts from British finest meat and fresh fish from south coast day boats and British fishing ports. if mr. flavor had been here, he would have made a beeenstock for the 45-day white park sirloin with béarnaise and large chips. we believed a little easier. the salt baked celeriac, blue monday cheese and kale salat with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. my friend ordered iron age ‘Pick and Brunch’, pickles and English senf, which came in the form of a terrine. I could not resist helping me to a greedy unhappiness. the albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for following the fishing nets. fluffy fishcake with fertile tomatenrelish were mouth-watery crunchy and bursting with terribleness. I had never ordered gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. the big chips were absolutely crushed and let us dessert without room. as much as I enjoy a girly lunch, it is time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetit. a quick espresso later I was moved back to the office with an earlyling in my step and a very satisfied little bit. I cannot expect to introduce my customers into this wonderful new venue, which is available for 7 days in the week."

"They call this masala chips? Food arrived late, I ordered via just eat called them as waited early 2 hours food was cold. All leaked in the bag. When I called manager was rude saying he be with you soon. Once food arrived and seen the state of the food I called back manager said he was home to call back tomorrow. I called back the next day the manager said they are busy and will call me back. I allowed nearly 48 hours before I called back he was rude and said what is your complaint even though I was polite explained the situation... the managers response was is that all your complaint and ? Next time don't order from us if you don't like the food, if you do then order. Then he said tough thats how our food is like. it you think you can cook better than my chef come and work for me I will pay you £18 per hour. I have never been spoken like this by any resturant before. I will be taking this further.disgustijg will be seeing me soon face to face. Disgusting attitude especially when I never spoke im a rude way in any shape of form."

"SHOCKING TREATMENT Booked table for 6.45, arrived and Bistro empty. Ordered our drinks from the bar and told a man behind the bar that we had booked a table for 6.45. He said that we had not booked as not on the list. And even if we had there was a coach party in the restaurant and there was a 60 minute wait before we could order any food as tge kitchen was very busy. He went to the office to check if we had booked and in the meantime I showed him the email confirmation. When eventually he found our booking he said we should have been told there was a wait for food. We found the staff to be rude and not abit helpful so we left and went elsewhere. When we booked there were many time slots available to us. Obviously they give priority to coach parties over the Bistro and can not cope with catering for both. I did email the hotel and they basically said they do cater for coach parties before other people in their restaurant and bistro. Would never go there again."

"We had a lovely meal here on Sunday 2nd Jan. As with everywhere else it was very quiet and we seemed to be the first ones in. The food was tasty, and not over salty or oily like some others. I had the lamb shatkora, with a deliciously citrussy sauce that went well with the sweet butternut squash side dish (not seen that in any other curry house). Other dishes had nice big chunks of paneer. Service was polite and friendly. Recent poor reviews seem to be mostly about delivery services and were a bit offputting, but the food and staff were absolutely fine. Might be my new favourite Indian restaurant."

"The service was bad, the waitress took age to serve us, and when we finally asked for the bill. It was wrong that we ordered tap water as there were other drinks, where and on the bill said we were worth £8. The waitress who gave us the tap water even questioned us when we had the drinks. The restaurant had about 4 tables full, so there was no confusion. The food was average. The service was bad, and when the bill was wrong, it was when they were annoyed to us because they noticed it was wrong. Atmosphere wasn't pleasant a nice meal we thought it wasn't waiting to leave the place. Wouldn't recommend a friend."

"not to find the simplest place, but an absolute pearl when they do. the inner is very clean, modern in styling and welcoming. from our experience the service was from the beginning attentive, friendly and fast, but without being overwhelming. the quality of the food was delivered in good time excellent, fresh and hot. and especially it was very delicious. the choice of crying is also a plus point. overall a great experience and we will not hesitate to go back. highly recommended. Note that parking is very limited."

"My wife and I have been going to Thai Edge Leeds since we started seeing each other, we decided to go today for our 19th wedding anniversary. Extremely disappointed. No non alcoholic wine or larger, had to wait over half an hour for our starter after we ordered, told this was because they were busy, yet only 21 customers in {ie only a quarter full}, starter mixed tempera vegetables was half onion rings little variety, masamam curry was ok but not as good as previously, pad thai was basically a plate of noodles. Building is now shabby and in need of the tender loving care of a decorator, menu in worse condition than the building."

"Next time someone is running late and has a reservation please clearly state that you are closed at a certain time, i came all the way afterwork and my friend came from Reading so we had not made a plan B as I was under the assumption my researvation was jotted down as a late reservation arrival and would be seated upon arrival. Was disappointed as we were looking forward to it"

"Carluccio's in Reading is relaxed with a very nice atmosphere. The restaurant/shop combo is a good idea. The food for reasonably priced, in fact not much more than Strada. Quality was not excellent my calamari starter was a little dry and the seafood risotto a tad watery. They were under staffed the evening we went. It took a couple of minutes standing like a lemon before the front of house lady had a chance to seat us, and the food took a long time to arrive. However staff were friendly."

"We found the menus to be quite complicated. There were six of us eating and two if us arrived a bit late. Overall I found the street food dishes to be delicious and we ordered of them on the advice of the friendly waitress. We mainly stuck to that menu. Two of us shared a bottle of white wine and that menu choice was limited options from memory. The rest drank beer. I also had a margarita which was fab. We had tacos and salsaguacamole dips to start as well all very nice. Some of us ordered dessert the donuts with choc dip v average and a tart which was like a creme caramel no pastrybiscuit base which they weren't expecting. Overall I would go back but the I have to say the service from the chap waiter who took over when we moved to a bigger table helped to complicate it all for us. He seemed as confused as we were at times"

"@marcoandcarl Review It never stuck to us that this restaurant would be Halal given its name! But to our surprise, we found out not only was it Halal, it was HMC approved! Marco Carl is located within the Bradford Leisure Exchange. They specialise in Stone Baked Pizzas, Freshly Prepared Pastas, Matured Steaks and Hand Crafted Burgers. They claim to use the freshest ingredients available to create traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist. We have tried a number of items they offer on the menu on the two occasions we have visited. A range of the wings they offer for starters. You can request a combination of flavours if you like. However, the Carl’s Secret Sauce Wings were bursting with sweet flavours which was a little too sweet for our liking. The other wing flavours were nice. Houmous and Tzetziki Meze. This was served hot and fresh and tasted yummy. Double Decker Burger where you can choose Double Beef or Chicken or try one each of Beef and Chicken, served with Burger Mayo, Salad, Cheese, Relish Gherkins and Chips. It was nice but the Chicken patty was a processed patty, rather than fresh chicken which was disappointing. Chicken Espetada Tender Cubed Chicken Breast skewered with Peppers served with salad, a choice of Sauce and a Side. Choose from Gombero, Capritto, Creamy Mushroom, Peppercorn, Gazebo sauces and Chips or Spicy Rice for the sides. Meat Fire House Stone Baked Pizza. The pizza is freshly prepared using the finest Italian ingredients. It is cooked in a wood fired oven and topped with beef steak, chicken, mozzarella, roasted peppers, green chillies, crushed chillies. Didn’t really enjoy this pizza as it wasn’t tasty at all! Not enough tomato or cheese and had a very thin base. Pesto Vegetarian, this is penne pasta in a creamy pesto sauce with roquito, spring onion, sweet corn and roasted peppers. The pasta would’ve been very tasty if hot! Please be aware, since our last visit, the Bradford branch HMC certification has been revoked. "

"It is a rare and fleeting moment when you discover something that you suddenly cannot live without. For me, that moment was halloumi. Yes, it was in this small essay that my world was completely changed. And what else have I been missing out on? This moment was sparked by a roasted Mediterranean sandwich: grilled halloumi cheese, avocado, tomato, and fresh pesto. The flavors were truly unforgettable."

"The staff at this restaurant were amazing, from the lady to the two gentlemen who served us. They went out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic time. The drinks and food were both outstanding and priced reasonably. The bartender even created a delicious rum cocktail for me. The service was exceptional, with the lady being especially attentive. Overall, I would give the service a flawless 10/10. Thank you to the staff for providing us with a delightful dining experience!"

"visited here with 5 friends and after a bit of a shaky start (it took the waitress 3 attempts to get a white wine spritzer, with soda, correct) the meal was lovely. Although there were 6 of us we weren't kept waiting and the food order was correct as well as everyone enjoying their starters and main meals (we didn't have desserts)."

"the ambiente and the actual device of the place is stunning. the service was unfortunately less than what we expected, as some of the foods did not arrive with the others, so we had to demand it again. I also believe that the articles are generally overpriced for the size and quality of the portions. total good, but not great"

"Terrible customer services. Find the man with a tash very rude when he serves. The shop have a card machine so you can pay by card but he says that they get charged by the bank and tell you to get cash out. But the cash machines around charge you £2 extra. Why bother having a card machine at the shop!!!!! They are using the franchise Maemes just for the name as the prices are way different than the original maemes website. The closing times are all different as on google it says 1am He refused to serve us at 10pm on Sunday because they were closing but on the site it says 1am There was bottle of sauces on display where it looked out of date. I have found this guy very rude who works at the front with no good customer services."

"Wow! Ordered food from here didn’t listen to a word I said so when the food came there was an order missing. When I called them they read back the order but missed out the other order and quickly put the phone down which I thought was so rude definitely wasn’t worth £16 won’t be ordering again. Nothing special"

"I had a party of 10 to cater for we ordered from Spice Island. The food arrived on time, was still very hot, and more importantly absolutely delicious. The service and customer care at Spice Island is exemplary. Spice Island claim to be the best Indian restaurant in Islington. I think they’re being too modest and would give any Indian restaurant in London a run for their money. And absolute must for great food."
