"Ordered for myself as a treat whilst looking after a poorly family member. Sadly almost all of it is going in the bin! Fortunately I ordered the house mix starter for one and that was actually really nice. The house special fried rice in sauce was vile. All I could smell when I opened the lid was boiled fatty duck with thick fat on. There was nothing fried about this dish at all. Everything was steamed and the rice was hard. So lid back on that one and on to the chicken with cashew. Sadly the sauce on this dish was exactly the same as the sauce on the rice. I've never had chicken with cashew that tasted like this! Again tasteless and the chicken was a very strange rubbery consistency. I'm not totally disappointed as I enjoyed the starter, but the rest wasn't pleasant so it will be going in the bin. I hate waste whether it be money or food, but I can't eat it. Sadly even the prawn crackers didn't taste right."

Ordered recently from here due to the corona virus and Dynasty Chinese being closed for two weeks. It wasn’t nice at all, the food was tasteless and very expensive!!! We will wait until the excellent Dynasty opens again!!

zero stars. ordered a pad thai and hand on heart, it was the worst i’ve ever had. tasted and looked like a load of ketchup had been squirted all over it. i never usually bother to complain or review but the quality of that dish was abysmal. needless to say, they’ll receive no more orders from me and i shall ensure my friends don’t make the same mistake

Ordered a takeaway. Very unfriendly young woman totally ignored me for over 5 minutes as she continually answered the phone. An acknowledgment that I was waiting was all that was needed. Salt and pepper ribs were fatty far too thick and tasteless. At the bottom...of the container a thick layer of crumbs and chilli were soggy. The vermicelli noodles were tasty but it was hunt the shrimp, thinpork and chicken slices were plentiful but quite honestly the whole dish was underwhelming. My first and last visit.

I don't understand the bad reviews for this place and it certainly isn't expensive. I am a fussy vegetarian and there was so many options. They also do Japanese, Thai and Singapore.The food was cooked perfectly (especially the duck according to my partner and Mum). My Mum was visiting and even said it was the best Chinese she has had EVER and that is some serious feedback if it came from my Mum.They were only late by about 15 mins but it was a Saturday night and the food was still hot so it wasn't an issue.Deffo our number one Chinese now.

Lotus has always been our go to Chinese takeaway but to be honest we haven't ordered for a long time. We ordered last night and we were so glad that we did. Not sure what's happened but the dishes we usually get have gone from good to absolutely unbelievable! If you like salt and pepper ribs, sweet and sour chicken balls in batter or lemon chicken, then trust me, you wont find better anywhere else. I do mean anywhere else. Last night was the best Chinese food my family have had from any takeaway or restaurant, ever. Now I rarely write any reviews but felt compelled to because this place is now on a different level in my opinion.

I ordered a meal for myself as a treat while taking care of a sick family member. Unfortunately, most of it ended up in the trash. The house mix starter for one was actually really nice, but the house special fried rice in sauce was terrible. It smelled like boiled fatty duck with thick fat on it, and everything was steamed with hard rice. The chicken with cashew dish had the same sauce as the rice and tasted strange and flavorless, with rubbery chicken. I enjoyed the starter, but the rest was unpleasant and will be thrown away. It's disappointing to waste money and food, but I can't eat it. Even the prawn crackers didn't taste right.

"I've been to a couple of different Dishoom branches a few times and have never been disappointed by the breakfast options. The sausage naan roll is excellent. A couple of really tasty vegan sausages with some melted vegan cheese all wrapped up in a lovely soft naan and served with some sort of sweet chilli dipping sauce. My go to now is usually the vegan Bombay. It's a good hearty breakfast plate with... a couple of the same well seasoned vegan sausages. Some vegan tofu akuri a nicely spiced tofu scramble. Some very well cooked mushroom slices (that are maybe a wee bit under seasoned). The baked beans are really nicely spiced, elevating them far beyond the standard sweet sauce fare that's the usual. A few slices of well flavoured black pudding (that could be fried to being a bit crispier). A cooked tomato which is a bit dull, I've never been keen on tomatoes on my breakfast plate and this once has not changed my mind. It could do with some more charring and maybe some spicing. To help you mop everything up, the whole thing is served with a couple of soft bread buns that have been nicely toasted. I usually top the whole thing off with some chocolate chai with oat milk you get free refills for your chai. Unfortunately, it isn't wheelchair accessible. There are stairs up into the restaurant and various small flights of stairs to get to different parts of the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024 03 25"
