Ordered a family meal, which included honey ribs for our 8 year old.When it arrived, the meal was…read moredefinitely not what we expected! There was 1 decent sized rib out of the 5 that we got, the others had virtually no meat on, and this cost £6!! Also the thai red curry had chips in amongst it, made to look like it was more chicken than there actually was! I rang the take-away to complain and was told they were busy and it was their suppliers fault, then the phone was abruptly put down on me! I rang again and the woman that answered was extremely rude , again saying that she was too busy to deal with a legitimate complaint and put the phone down on me again!! My partner then rang the take-away and was passed on to a customer , by the woman, to explain why we were ringing and preventing the people in the take-away from getting their food. How rude can you be?? I will definitely not be using this sub standard take-away again and can assure people that I am not the type of person to write a review like this normally, but was fuming after our treatment by this woman, who was definitely Chinese, and therefore assumed to be one of the owners

Excellent Italian food with a twist of imagination added, and great service…read more Say Pasta in Emerson's green has a consistently friendly set of serving staff (I've never seen the same set of staff there twice, but they've all been a really friendly bunch). Friendly, but at the same time efficient. Never had a long wait, even when the restaurant has been full (which often happens in the evenings - worth booking). They are accomodating and helpful people, and they serve well and attentively but not intrusively. The food is particularly good because there are some unusual, imaginative recipes and they really work. I can particularly recommend the bacon and banana pizza - yes, really! - which is a combination I found startlingly good, and a real discovery. There are mouth watering vegetarian options on the menu too - not an afterthought, these dishes prompt a confirmed carnivore to consider the vegetarian option by choice from time to time. Cakes, as mentioned by other reviewers, are really good English tea-house style cakes; there are other desserts available, and I'd say there are so many good things on the menu to try - starters, mains, and sweets - that you should count on coming back several times for more.

Very nice food with a good service. Pizza's are great.read more

Most of the watering holes in Staple Hill are no better than average but this place is the…read moreexception to the rule. It is a superb boozer. It was always a friendly place to relax but in the last three months it's seen new owners take over who have removed the worn out tables and chairs and replaced them with modern fixtures and fitting. Staple Hill now has a bar to be proud of. It was always renowned as a good real ale pub and it appears the new owners will keep this going with the Wadworth 6X being superb. A menu has also been introduced and you can treat yourself to a selection of the mighty 'pieminister' pies with trimmings for less than £5. Bargain. They've kept the weekend music and added to it with a Sunday night chill out session to ease you back into Monday.

Have been to nthis place numerous times, and have had a very good meal whether it was lasagne or…read morepizzza ect. However last night my friend and I decided to have the Steak peppata. I cut into my steack and notuce a thick piece of grizzle running through the middle. Having cut this out and the fat around the outside I was left with a mediocre piece of meat. I noticed that my friends steak was a lot thicker and juicer and looke3d 10oz. Mine looked more like 6oz. He said it tasted very nice. However mine did not, it was very chewy. I called the manager over to complain and he said that all meat was the same from the same butcher and then said to me that he would give me their butchers telephone number to complain to him. Now that is something, me complain to a restaurants supplier. I could not explain ton him that it was up to me to complain. After a heated discussion the manager then said that he would cook me another steak which I declined. He then went into the kitchen and came out with 3 steaks sealed saying to look and see how good they were. Yes of course they were good, mine was not and that was the one we were talking about. I tried to explain this to him that those may have been ok but mine was not and he kept on about how his meat came from a very good butcher. I told him that if I paid £24.50 for a sirlion then I expected a decent sirlion what I got was a piece of meat from a sizzler pub that charged £9.50. He did take the price of the steak of the bill but that was refused by me as that was not the point. My friend then made a compromise and we would not pay for the steak but give the money for waiters gratuities. However I shall not be going back t o this restaurant again. Its a pity because the other times have been enjoyable and decent food.

This place is an absolute gem of a restaurant ! We were very warmly greeted by the lovely bleached…read moreblonde Italiano waitress. Who immediately reconised my mother (she's been once before). After the greetings we got down to the very Bristolion tradition of consuming Thatchers Gold. Thankfully they had these in abundance from a large bottle at a not to shabby 3.50. There is a fantastic reasonably priced wine menu, we just didn't fancy it. Decor wise this place is tastefully done but it aint gonna blow your brains out ! Lots of neutral colours. Which for me is just fine. Cause I came to eat not look at the walls ! And eat we did oh yes ! We started with prochitto with melon and calamari. All perfect the calamari was particularly good with a melt on yer tounge texture. For mains my missus opted for the sea food tomatoe pasta dish. Cant remember the name but it was a proper party on the taste buds. I had the Casa pizza which was sublime. I dont normally do pizza eating out but afer seeing a neighbouring tables come I opted and my word am I glad I did. Its was the best pizza ive had in years! Topped off with a limochella shot for dessert this was one unforgettably good meals that didn't break the bank. Oh, and did I mention that the service was great ?

If you fancy a lunch time carb fest then bottelinos is the place to go…read more Their lunch menu is £5.95 for any pizza or pasta which is fab...if you go with more than one person you can do half and half which I think is great. Food is always consistently nice and for the price you can't really complain. We came here a few weeks ago and the staff were so lovely with our 22 month old son, they gave him some colouring pencils and kept coming by to talk to him. Bottelinos is good food at a really reasonable price!

Dinner - in our group, we had fish & chips, beef & mushroom meatpie, and a filet steak. The fish & chips were crispy & delicious, but we aren't used to the skin on so that was different. The meatpie was amazing, the gravy was everyone's fav! The filet was average, not seared/grilled, but seemed steamed. It was tender though. The evening service people were so nice, answered our questions, and checked often. Breakfast - the buffet was great! The front door service was not, she was frustrated about something and took it out on everyone there.

The atmosphere was lovely the American style seating booths made a both private and smooth experience with the frequent exit and entry and I compiled a feast from the buffet There is one slight issue, This overlying shadow that clouded my perception of the experience, I have only been once for the Breakfast Buffet, There was No Maple Syrup!, Like how can you have so many pancakes and not have the underlying ingredient, That ties the unique flavors into the traditional classical explosion of joy that pancakes should bring! (Can you tell I like my pancakes) I'm not angry just disappointed My pancakes were dry and this might just be why I saw you were shutting down, Best wishes!

I want to start by saying just how much I love this restaurant, I have been here on two occasssions…read morenow as after my first visit I just couldn't wait to come back and try something else on their menu! Tamarind is a fine Indian cuisine restaurant, and is much more exquisite than your standard Indian. They offer a really attractive variety of interesting dishes and specials, as well as your usual curries like Korma, Tikka, Vindaloo etc... this really appeals to me, but you will find that it is very difficult making a final decision on what you want to eat as everything sounds so good. The smells from the kitchen are amazing as you're sitting there, so get popadums to start for something to pick at whilst your waiting. The interior of the restaurant is lovely, with white wooden terrace type designs giving the place a quaint feel. There is a good amount of seating, but in my experience it was very busy on a Friday night so perhaps book ahead if you want to guarantee a table. Price wise this place is also great as their meals are very reasonable, on par with most other Indian's in the area. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, it's a bit more classy than most Indians so it would be great for a special occasion meal as well as general family meals or evenings out with friends. If you are a fan of Indian food like me you will love Tamarind.

This place is definitely up there with my favourite curry houses!…read more We have had a few takeaways from here recently and they have all been delicious. I always go for a chicken korma and my partner has something different each time. Last night he went for a chicken tikka rezala which he said is now one of his favourite curries. The last time we ate from here we found that one rice wasn't enough for both of us so this time we ordered two. All our food was lovely, definitely no complaints. The decor is modern with a nice traditional feel and the staff are all really friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area or fancy a change from your usual Indian restaurant.

We use this for take away and occasionally as a restaurant - you can call and pick it up in 20 minutes. It gets pretty busy at the weekends as it is a local's favourite and has a lively atmosphere. Prices are very good, £6-8 for a main course and they aren't stingy with the portions. There are a couple of Indian restaurants here quite close together - make sure you get the right one!
