"really bad experience. not sure what restaurant went on to these other reviewers because the staff was really not helpful. has been referred to what seemed to be the chef of the restaurant immediately, which means that the personal 't formed on allergens, but the manager clearly 't understand what vegan meant also. He told me to get a dish and he'd tell me if they could make it vegan. I explained we could be here all day to go through the menu, but he insisted. I went, of course, directly to the sweet dishes to which he said no (to all! because they have flour in them. I tried to explain that flour has nothing to do with veganism, but he did not understand. I would leave the restaurant if we were not there for my vater birthday, as we began to make a scene when I tried to explain that they have vegan options available, but can't say which options these are. I went with a bombay aloo that is usually vegan. I feel like they have deliberately put a boiled egg in themselves, as I have never seen that it is part of the teller. So I didn't eat the meal and didn't say anything, paid and left. I do not understand that all restaurants have vegan options available, but I thought after the reviews here and the fact that they have advertised vegan options on their menu that they would be helpful, but it is probably the worst experience I had."

"Horrendous attitude from one of the owners/family helpers called Lee. I would like to highlight that Sonia provided a professional customer service experience in comparison to Lee. Placed the order at arrived at When I called at to find out...what was happening, Sonia offered to phone the driver to find out the situation for me, which was good. Whilst waiting on Sonia phoning me back, I received a call from Lee asking me to tell her what the problem was, I explained her colleague was dealing with it she then went on to explain how busy they are, which is understandable and I understand the challenges businesses have at the moment, owning my own. But there was no apology. In fact Lee (who at this point I did not know was the owner/family helper until Sonia told me) went on to tell me it was my fault I ordered from Just eat as they had their own orders to fill first?? Eh hello? It doesn't matter how I place my order, I chose your business to order my dinner from!. Anyway I explained to her that I didn't like her tone of voice and felt she was being really aggressive with me. She asked me if I wanted to cancel my order,I said we have been waiting two hours, so we may as well wait, however she was very forceful and kept saying no I will cancel, I will cancel and then decided to put the phone down on me. I couldn't believe how I had been treated as a customer! Then Sonia kindly phoned back to apologise and I asked whoever that was, should not be in a customer role and I was shocked to be spoken to in that way. She then went on to inform me Lee is the owner/family helper! Shocking. Sonia asked for my details and explained she would let the other owner know what had happened. hours later, I've not heard a peep from the restaurant. So I've made the decision to leave a review after explaining to them, this is what I would do. After waiting over and a half hours and using them for the first time, the food was below average. The pakoras and rice was nice, however the chicken korma was inedible, it was stringy and chewy, the lamb bhuna sauce was nice, the lamb was fatty and chewy. So all that wait for pakora and rice and sauce. We won't be back! Horrendous way to speak and treat customers!"

"From the starter to the sweet this was a first class dining experience. The very helpful staff brought us wine starters very quickly. The starter was a taste sensation of cold meats and cheese. Some lovely bread and salad. The main course was a pasta dish with seafood. The sauce was so good I ended the meal by using a spoon to clear the last few drops from the plate. Good sized helpings meant however that I only had room for a cup of their excellent coffee although the home made deserts were very tempting. This is a will go back soon restaurant."

"Family meal out. Definitely a hidden gem. It was absolutely delicious. Everything is freshly cooked to order. Food was mouthwatering and very well presented. Had a few takeaways from here and in my time but sitting in the restaurant is a different ball game. You get all the pleasant aromas of the food cooking. Premises are very clean. Staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Great for kids too as there's a kids menu and there's always pizza for the older kids!! Definitely be back in the future and fingers crossed at the awards. Good luck"

"I absolutely adore Sumo, as I have been a regular customer for years. Recently, I decided to try their takeaway option and ordered the sushi platter and classic katsu curry. The portions were generous, and I had plenty of leftover curry to enjoy the next day. The sushi was always fresh and delicious, and I appreciate that they offer a takeaway option (although you must collect it yourself, as they do not offer delivery). The restaurant can be quite quiet at times, which may make you feel like you have to speak softly because of the small space. However, this wouldn't deter me from coming back because the food is simply fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive."

"I enjoy Chinese food, especially noodles, but this was the first time that I experienced such stinky and terrible tasting noodles that I had to take them off my plate. The lamb and vegetable dishes were absolutely delicious, but I can still taste and smell the unpleasant noodles. I think it was possibly just a mistake, but it definitely affected my overall experience."

"Another wee gem hidden away in Falkirk. Went with my children, they had vanilla and chocolate. Hearty portions! I had Ferrero Rocher and it was fab and coffee was amazing. No real drinks for smaller children, so owner gave us two free glasses of milk. Be back as more flavours to try. Also sell posh cakes and sandwiches."

"Our family's Christmas was completely ruined by our experience at this restaurant. We had booked a Christmas lunch reservation for 2pm, with our allotted time slot being from 2-4pm. However, we ended up leaving after just 2 hours and 10 minutes, having only received our starters. The soup we were served was cold and came without a spoon, accompanied by a small piece of bread and a knife. When we asked for a refund, the manager refused to refund our entire table. Despite being told that our food was on the way, we waited another hour with no sign of it. Eventually, most of the restaurant's patrons had had enough and left, all demanding refunds. The manager never came out to address the situation or apologize for the lengthy wait. Instead, young servers were left to deal with the angry customers, which included every table in the restaurant. This was our first time eating out on Christmas Day, and unfortunately, this experience has completely ruined it for us. We had to come home hungry and find something else to eat. We definitely do not recommend this restaurant and have no intention of returning."

"I had a delightful meal here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. I started with the chicken satay, which was not only tasty but also beautifully presented. For my main course, I enjoyed the panang curry with sticky rice, which was just as flavorful with a wonderful spice to it. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, addressing our group's dietary preferences and restrictions. Overall, it was a great dining experience!"

"Fed up of playing the 'is it open, is it closed ' game. A few times i 've gone down when it says online its open only to find it closed. One minute they have delivery drivers, the next they don 't. Delivery drivers seemed to leave within a couple of weeks. Finally managed to catch it open during lunch one day. Phoned and placed an order for a panini box meal thing. Woman on phone said it would be 10/15mins. So nipped down on my 30 min lunch break, for the man to tell me she had gone out to buy produce to make my panini and that she wouldnt be long now. (think i heard him mention to someone in the kitchen that she was away to tesco) waited another 25mins and she still hadnt returned so he kindly offered to make me something else. Woman who had taken my order finally arrived back, didnt even acknowledge me, started moaning about issues she had getting the items. Man offered to make me what i had ordered but wasnt willing to wait any longer so took the toastie instead, he was very apologetic but the woman couldnt have given 2 tosses. Havent been back since, and wont be back. food was average and i had to work extra as had gone over on my lunch break. A few of the locals have said to avoid as well as the woman can apparently be quite nasty if you argue or complain. Theres another cafe just around the corner, where the food is amazing well priced and staff are lovely. use that as my regular now."

"The Lanna Thai is something of an anomaly, having somehow managed to survive in Falkirk as everything around it hit the skids, yet nobody ever talks about it and it never seems busy. Located next door to the similarly enduring Railway Tavern near Grahamston train...station, the Lanna Thai is a small, traditionally decorated and family run Thai eatery that may rarely be overflowing, but is never entirely empty. Offering a full menu as well as and course specials, the restaurant's main talking point is its bring your own bottle licensing state, for which there are pros and cons. On the one hand, as someone who doesn't drink wine, it means I need to have any drinks I want pre-chilled and need to remember them. On the other, it means that you are getting drink you want, and if you like wine there's a Tesco literally less than a minute away. I've visited the place several times and always found the staff pleasant. I usually take courses from the budget menu, it's been a while but I'm positive it comes in at around and while the portions are smaller, that comes with the territory. Quality of the food is solid. Eaten there many times and never had a bad meal. At the same time I've never had an exceptional, rave about meal, but I'm definitely erring more towards the side of positivity here. As much as I wouldn't call it budget, it also isn't expensive either. I feel like my score is maybe a bit harsh, but understand I don't put it as out of badness. It's a solid little restaurant that I don't have many complaints about, I just don't really have anything the recommend you rush to try there though."

"I must say, this is one of my favourite restaurants in the area! The food always surpasses my expectations, the beverages are sublime, and the staff are so welcoming! The bathrooms are of excellent standard and you can tell they are maintained very well. The only issue is the atmosphere. Though warming and welcome, it can feel a little empty. Alas, it varies from person to person. We waited around 15-20 minutes for our food, which I find is around average for similar restaurants in the area. I highly recommend the Hunter’s chicken and Steak Pie, and will definitely be coming back again."

"We ordered a delivery from Fork and Mustard today for myself and work colleagues. We made the order through Just Eat at 11:58am and were advised delivery would be 1pm. We were then notified that there was a delay in our order and that they would contact us when it had left for delivery, (we are located about 1 miles from shop). Myself and my colleagues finally received our order at 14:10pm. Just over 2 hours to prepare some toasties and soup and have these delivered is shocking. Food was warm when it arrived and average but would not order a delivery from here again due to time aspects. (before anyone comments about collecting, we work in the local hospital and we were unable to collect, that 's why we ordered for delivery)."

"Had gluten free fish and chips last night from here and it was fantastic. Saw them cook my meal in its own fryer, use a separate area to serve my food. The staff were very helpful and knew what they were doing when it came to allergens and coeliac customers. Fantastic service! My first fish supper for many years and it was delicious! Keep up the good work!"

"Have frequented the creamery for many many years, firstly because of the food and secondly because it’s local to me. The creamery is such a little hidden gem. From the outside it looks like your average pool hall (it is a snooker hall, pool hall and restaurant area but when you step in to the restaurant you would never know there are many people playing snooker and pool in the next rooms. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, enough space between tables and very well set up with friendly and knowledgable staff. The menu is great and really does have something for everyone as well as specials of the day/week. But the food is the star of the show, delicious! And as a large family we all have our personal favourite. The homemade steak pie is a big hit with some while most of the family love the fish and chips, great sized portions and all cooked fresh! My personal favourite has got to be the Cajun chicken with Cajun sauce (if you haven’t tried the sauce you really need to! I have a 14 and a 5 year old and the creamery is both their favourite restaurant to go to. Kids menu is perfect, again something for everyone. We also gave a vegetarian in our party and she is always happy and has choices. 10/10 always. If you haven’t visited you really should, you won’t regret it. Also to mention there is a fully stocked bar with a fairly new addition of cocktails which look incredible but I’m yet to try."
