"This place masquerades as a fine dining venue with its decor and expensive wines but is in reality a corporate establishment rather than a restaurant run with love and passion. There is an army of staff and if you order the set menu be prepared to have your food served at high speed and the quality was highly reminiscent of wedding food- corporate- with a conveyor belt feel to it. Perhaps the a la carte experience is different. A French restaurant with a medley of European staff not one English accent anywhere the night we visited). The staff were all super polite and friendly but a more leisurely experience would have enhanced our enjoyment dramatically. Not horrible but definitely not...read more"

"Good food, although my dumplings are waiting for it and were cold and I found a la carte choice quite limited. No mineral water, but expensive filtered water (I hate restaurants with this demolition technique), only Greek wines. Service was attentive and great overall. Food (especially net) and beverage prices are on the expensive side, expect 100-150£/p mini."

"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."

"My wife and I have just been through Bristol airport with our 5 year old and figured frankie and bennys would be a decent place to eat in the hour we had to spare. The manager Liam seated us and proceeded to take both food and drinks orders and checked in with us during the meal. He made what was a surprisingly good burger dinner into a great experience with his amazing attitude and demeanour. Food in 10 minutes hot well cooked and delicious! We had to run to catch our gate and he followed us to give us the free dessert my daughter was entitled to but we weren't aware! Truly made a mundane airport visit into an enjoyable experience."

"I’m absolutely disgusted to have visited this restaurant and to be asked upon arrival if I have any allergies, to which I responded yes and explained I cannot eat onion or garlic. I then went on to order the carbonara and asked the waitress to confirm with the chef that there is no onion or garlic in the sauce, to which she said she cannot check. The host who seated us explained she would let the chef know of my allergies so I’m unsure what the difference is. Surely the person who is cooking the food within the kitchen is able to advise what ingredients is in the dish. I was informed this is company policy and they can’t check the packaging, however when I visited the Cheshire oaks restaurant the waiter was incredibly helpful and checked the packaging of the chicken for me to assist. I feel discriminated against for having allergies, that are totally out my control. I was told by the waitress that she is protecting the company’s reputation as you would be liable if she checks… what would make you more liable is if I order something after telling you of my allergies and then I have a reaction. You seriously need to rethink your policy. Every other restaurant I ever visit will adapt their dishes to suit my allergies, as should all food establishments. I was told you will only confirm the top 14 allergens… as though people with all other food allergies are irrelevant! I have never been made to feel so discriminated against in my life. Disgusting!"

"Well what can I say we were looking for food went here about 5pm and was fully booked, went for a walk about and went back couple hours later and a really lovely friendly man showed us to a table upstairs the place really busy and atmosphere really lovely, we later found out man owned restaurant. From beginning to end was amazing place, Waitress so helpful and gave us taxi numbers, and Ryan was brilliant and chatting and being busy whilst taking time for customers, food was really good and hot I had chicken Shuish and my partner had rack of ribs, menu good and drinks lovely we had cocktails. Place on back street of Blackpool near Blackpool Tower. Restaurant clean and tidy and so well run would absolutely recommend and use again next time in Blackpool."

"After not visiting Chez Mumtaj for a couple of years, we were pleased to see that the food quality has remained consistent. My wife enjoyed a delicious duck dish and my lamb shank was excellent. However, I have deducted a few stars due to the slightly disorganized service. We were seated at the wrong table initially and had to switch, and we had to request fresh table water multiple times. Despite this, the service was polite overall."

"Now that we can walk to a decent curryhouse, we are visiting our favourite Bangladeshi restaurant in Bedford far less often, which is ridiculous when the food is so superior! Tonight all 5 of us loved our delicious meals. I had my usual vegan pathia, which was the best I’ve ever tasted, (always a good indicator of a great restaurant, when every time you eat there, the food is the best you’ve ever tasted! The bonus tonight though was being informed that they have stopped using ghee in their pilau rice, so now, apart from the keema rice, every other rice is suitable for vegans so I had the coconut rice . We’ll be back again soon!!"

"We liked this place. The staff was super friendly and nice. One of the drinks we ordered with the pea flower gin was really outstanding. We had the rice cracker, shishito pepper, a cuke salad and squid starters. The crackers were great the salsa ordinary and did not detect shiso in the avocado. The cuke salad was good but would have liked more cukes to lettuce ratio. The squid was ok, not great, and skimpy but the yuzu mayo was really great. The peppers were ok. We had miso eggplant, pork belly and duck. The eggplant itself was good, not so crazy about the miso preparation. The pork was great and the duck was also very good. We weren’t crazy about the plum sauce; it needed something. These dishes would have been improved by some green onions and a bunch of cilantro. We had the cheesecake dessert with whiskey ice cream. Found the cheesecake bland but loved the ice cream . They very kindly brought the child with us a sweetly decorated scoop of mango sorbet which she loved. This restaurant is rated 4 1/2 stars. I would rate it 4.3 based on our visit but we might have ordered more adventurously with out a child in tow."

"Sunday evening. We have visited the Ram Inn on several occasions during the past 2/3 years and each time we have been disappointed with the meals. Each time there is something that we have ordered from the menu that is not available. For example, one time they did not have the particular type of potatoes advertised on the menu and another time I ordered a medium/rare steak and when it arrived it was REALLY well done. There was no problem, they did do me a new steak, but by the time it arrived the other people in our party had finished their meals so I was left to finish my meal whilst they all had to wait for me But at the beginning of July we had heard that things had improved and...read more"

"I went here for my 20th Birthday, booked a table of 8 for afternoon tea. When I came the table wasn't ready and they never asked for my reservation name. Then the waitress gave us lunch menus after stating we'd be having afternoon tea. And as only 4 of us had arrived and the other 4 were parking the other car. The waitress asked if she could bring everything out now? I felt about rushed and the waitress had very poor attitude towards us. Table maintenance wasn't the best as everyone had finished their teas and it was on the table for 2 hours. I understand it got a bit busy but I could feel the stress from this waitress and it wasn't pleasent. The manager I don't remeber a name did look after us on the other hand and made sure we were okay. However for spending nearlly £200 and £20 service charge I wish I didn't bother. Sorry for this review, I can imagine it is probably an amazing place. But I was let down by my experience."

"I recently visited this restaurant because it is local and I had read some good reviews. It can be difficult to find a restaurant with a 5-star hygiene rating. However, I was not completely satisfied with my experience. The naan bread was delivered at the end of the meal, which the manager explained was traditional. My husband's lamb dish was chewy and tough, and when we mentioned this, we were told that this was how it should be. As we were leaving, I mentioned that I would not be returning, and the manager followed us out onto the street, arguing that my husband had ordered the wrong dish, which is why it had not been to our liking. My chicken kahari was decent, but my son's tali was mediocre at best. Despite the mixed experience, I would still recommend giving this restaurant a try, as the manager's behavior reminded me of characters from the show "Fawlty Towers.""

"I was searching for a good curry house to deliver for a surprise 60th birthday party. Panas came highly recommended and were wonderful in every way. I went in a few days in advance to check they would deliver to mine and could cater for...my dietary restrictions. They could not do enough for me: a long conversation followed with the chef making suggestions and a delectable selection of veggie and vegan dishes were chosen, all to be prepared according to my needs. Last night the delivery arrived on time, the food was hot and just as mouth-watering as I'd hoped. My guests were blown away. Sadly very little was left over but hopefully just enough for me to polish off now! Thank you, Panas, for helping to make my sister's birthday celebration such a success!"

"my friends and I enjoyed the 3-course party set menu 21.5) and it is certainly a good example for Mediterranean cuisine for a beginner I had the supposed fresh king skallops', served in a citrus juice. a bit cheesy, but definitiw a good choice for the starter. for my main course I decided for the restaurants recommended underwriting court, confit lamb. the lamb is slowly boiled and then pressed into a cylindrical shape. the meat melts on the rim and is very succulent a good place to go for a group dinner, reasonable price and a wonderful worth. make sure to make a reservation!"

"than a review this is a feedback to the management regarding their policy for takeaways. Last Saturday I visited the pub to order a Burger for a takeaway. The first thing that I was told by the gentleman at the bar counter was that...they are very busy and it will take minutes for any takeaway. I said that I am ok with that and I can come back and collect it. To this , I was told that I will have to be allocated a table. I said that's ok. You can allocate a table but I will collect the food from the counter. The gentleman said that's not possible. I was not able to understand what the issue was. So I told him again that you can allot a table but I do not want to wait around for minutes, so i can come back and collect it from the counter. There was another gentleman who was listening in and told his colleague to allocate the table in front of the bar but he also said the same thing, that I can only pick up the food at the table and if I don't come back on time ,they don't want the food to lie there and get cold. I once again told him that I am going to be around the area and that I live just minutes away from the pub and finally they agreed. But in the end the burger that I wanted was not available so I ended up not buying anything from there. I would really like to understand the rationale behind this policy of having to be alloted a table for a takeaway. Wouldn't the management rather allocate that table to some one else who may order in and have a few drinks than to someone who is not going to order anything else other than wait for his takeaway. The pub is really nice but the service levels can definitely improve."

"I discovered this restaurant through Groupon UK and it was a fantastic find. The food was plentiful, tasty, and truly authentic. We enjoyed six courses of delicious dishes! Make sure to try their chili and garlic sauces - they are a must-have."

"We ate here as a family on Saturday July There were adults, one five year old and a baby. The restaurant is our local, just down the road so we know it well It has a nice family atmosphere, busy but not noisy, and friendly. The staff are attentive and cheerful but not pushy. The service is good, even when busy. The owner is very hands on and greets everyone. We chose the rioja wine which was gorgeous. The house wines are good too from past experience. The starters, pizzas and pasta are excellent and good value. Tasty and well cooked. In comparison the mains and specials can be overpriced and the portions quite small, although flavoursome. Two of our party had them and were a bit disappointed. Our pizza, the Anacapri, unusually,was a bit lack lustre, undercooked and not very tasty. Usually they are really good. However it didnât spoil our evening and we all enjoyed it, especially the children. Nobody minds them walking about and they get special attention."
