"My wife and i visited Girvan and gave the Auld Aquaintance Cafe a try We were not disappointed. The Cafe is managed by the husband and wife team Prenil and Delphina Prenil is the chef and Delphina manages the cafe. They both made us feel extremely welcome and Prenil allowed us complete freedom to dictate our own taste choices and explored with us our food likes. Prenil can make virtually any dish to order rightly called food fusion) and loves a challenge but on this occasion we opted for Indian food and a house special Chicken Kashmiri and a Prenil customised Korma. We also ordered chicken Pakora and Onion Bhajis as starters. Each dish came piping hot directly from the kitchen as soon as it was ready to eat. Each and every dish was a delight , the Pakora was extremely succulent and the dips were delicious as were the Bhajis. The main courses each included the curry dish, rice, a hand made fresh flat bread and a Poppodom the food was specialised and subtly different in taste from standard curries , you could literally taste a multitude of different flavours. If you are in Girvan then don't be put off by the cafe decor , its all about the food and it is well worth the visit we don't think you will be disappointed and very reasonable prices for speciality food. If you have dietary requirements then they can usually accommodate most my wife is gluten intolerant and had no issues However if possible phone ahead and they will proactively respond to your specific needs."

"My husband and I are lived near San Francisco which has a huge Chinese population. Some of the best Chinese food we eat was in China Town S.F. We were pretty spoiled to have delicious and authentic Chinese right next door. We’ve been living in the U.K. for 10 years now and until we found Spring Deer, no other Chinese place over the years came close to what we are used to. We are super happy we found this place and finally when we have Chinese. We are fully satisfied and the food absolutely hits the spot. Spring Deer has a great menu and boasts a traditional Chinese decor. On top of that the food is super delicious and fresh. First Chinese restaurant in the U.K. where beef is not chewy and dry. The beef here, melts in your mouth. Highly recommend Beef In Black Bean Sauce. This restaurant is obviously doing something right. They have been open for over 30 years. We have been here 5 times in the span of a couple months and each time, each dish we get is fresh, aromatic and scrumptious. The restaurant is family owned and operated and you can tell how much they care by the level of friendly and welcoming service you receive. This is a very popular place and you can forget about getting a table over the weekend without a reservation. Best to make a booking a few days before the weekend to guarantee you get a table. Tue-Thur walk ins are OK but weekend tables get filled up pretty fast. Few other great dishes are the kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork and chefs specials. To be honest, everything we had so far was great. They do offer vegan and vegetarian options as well. If you live or are visiting the area and you want some quality Chinese food, This is it. You won’t find anything better or fresher. Highly recommend Spring Deer for their food, atmosphere and service. Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options available Parking: Plenty of parking available near by Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has no steps and is specious. There is plenty of room for a wheelchair."
