August Moon in High Peak

Eight of us went for a meal upstairs here at the Indian restaurant. We all left full and very happy and even two of us had a doggy bag. From when we arrived we had a good time, good choice of drinks available, we sat and chatted for a short while, landlords came to say hello and before we knew it, it was time to head upstairs to our table. They already had a larger table in who were tucking into food that smelled great. We were given menus and left to peruse. Once we had all ordered the food didn’t take to long to come out and myself and partner had a sharing platter which was incredible. Portion sizes were good and I don’t think we had an unclear plate between us. One of the guests ordered all their food without coriander and they were great at adhering to this. The main courses also did not disappoint, we had a good selection of a chicken tikka masala and chicken curry to the more spicy dishes of a vindaloo. The rice and naan’s were also good and the cost was not too bad either. I would recommend this place for a nice curry if you are partial to the Indian cuisine. Staff were friendly, child friendly too as we had a 7 year old with us. My only criticism I can give, is having to go downstairs for drinks but it didn’t hinder our experience as we just timed it right between courses.

I booked a stay over for my partners 50 th birthday , we booked our favourite restaurant also in Buxton. I booked this well in advance as it was a special occasion feb 15 th. We arrived on the day to be told they had double booked, I was a little annoyed but as I am also in the hospitality trade I understand this can happen on rare occasions. We decided to transfer the stay to my birthday In may. The staff transferred the date sent confirmation to me by email. On the night we booked the restaurant again also , we tried to contact the accommodation to confirm the reservation for our stay after many calls we got through , we were assured it was booked as didn’t wasn’t a repeat performance. On the day of arrival we had no email no phone call no correspondence ,so we drove up. Upon arrival the place was deserted we repeatedly rang emailed knocked on neighbours to see if anyone could contacts them. After 3 hours we finally had contact , she then told us where to find the key , we went to the key safe but she hadn’t put the key in. By this point we were furious not to ruin one birthday but two. Her attitude was very laps and didn’t seem to be bothered. I asked why we had no correspondence by email or called as we were told we would receive email. There was no explanation I asked for her to refund me and she told me I would have to wait for the refund. I understand things happen but not twice and the lack of caring and brushing it off like it didn’t matter was not good. The whole experience was a joke

good for food and good company as always

Food was amazing...cheese and onion pies was best ive ever had. Service was friendly...relaxed atmosphere. Defo will return.

After looking at Chinese Takeways in Buxton, Peak District, it was hard to find a delivery service with good reviews, as most were old reviews with a score between 2 & 3, so we decided to ring the order through and collect it ourselves. We narrowed it down to 3 restraunts, The Great Panda, The China House and Kwei Lin, but we chose the Kwei Lin as this had the highest score of 4.2. This was the first time that we had visited Buxton out of season, as we normally visit in the summer. We found all reviews to be from around 6 months or older, nothing up to date. We were a bit dubious when we first turned up at the restaurant as it empty, with just a couple who were local, so we asked what it was like, which their reply was good and the food is nice. Our food was ready within 5 minutes of us arriving. So from ordering and picking up was less than 15 minutes. The food was hot and very tasty. So I would highly recommend the Kwei Lin and would like to thank the friendly staff for a hassle free experience.
