Canaan Chinese Takeaway in East Lindsey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

On holiday, I was recommended to try this Chinese and it was the best decision I have made. All the food we had was piping hot and full of flavour but the beef and mushroom curry was devine, it's been many years since having a curry that tasted as good as this one! I wish I lived closer as this would certainly be my regularly.

Can’t comment on the food due to the lack of knowledges on allergen information. We asked in terms of allergy information and they didn’t know apparently due to the spices and herbs, they wouldn’t even check the ingredients for myself. Manager just turned round and said if we don’t know we don’t serve. Very unprofessional, business should always have allergen information on hand. Therefore went to golden dragon who was more than happy to accommodate for my son and the food was amazing!

Portions certainly aren’t small! Overall it’s a very good quality Chinese never had any issues food is always nice. The reason for my rating is for me personally the chow mein. It’s always dry and tastes kind of burnt (bare in mind I have a plain chow mein so just noodles) I can’t speak for any of the dishes that have meat or veggies in them but I do find it very difficult to eat their plain chow mein. Everyone has their own tastes of course you may love it.

Firstly our food was fantastic. So no problems there at all. Tastey and lots of it. However, our delivery driver was the rudest man ever. He called to see where our caravan was and immediately went on a rant for 5 minutes, shouting and abusing us on the phone saying we are not located. Couldnt even try to speak to him to explain where we were. Honestly a very shocking experience when all we wanted was our food. Was a shocking experience to be fair. Lovely food though so hopefully you will get a better driver 👍

WOW amazing food , delivery on time . The best Chinese takeaway ever. Thank you x

The food is always really nice and the staff are always polite and friendly

Great takeaway. Reasonable prices and great choice.

I'm here on holiday and I chose to eat here as it has one of the best star ratings and I can see why. Very friendly staff, fast service (even faster if you call to order in advance for collection). The food was absolutely amazing and I would definitely order again. If you're looking for a Chinese takeaway in the area I would definitely recommend here.

Had a late evening delivery from here. Was a bit worried after ordering as some of the reviews said portion sizes were small but they definitely weren't. There were 3 adults and would easily of fed 4. It was delivered on time and the food itself was faultless, hot and tasty. Give it ago its best Chinese in chapel imo

We have used this chinese takeaway pretty much since its opened! Always been tasty and delivered on time and piping hot. True they do seem to have cut back on certain things recently ( less garlic and chilli etc. In the salt and pepper chips ) but in fairness with cost of living this is excusable as to not jack the prices up , as they are still delicious. I am a local and regularly order and have never had a bad meal.

Not long moved to the area.. had our 1st Chinese delivered by Canaan in Chapel St Leonards tonight... one of the best Chinese meals we've ever had.

Best chinse in chapel st Leonard

Canaan is a must-visit! Incredible food, impeccable service, and perfect ambiance. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! I ordered from this Chinese takeaway last night, and I was blown away by the quality and taste of the food. The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and the delivery was prompt. I'll definitely be ordering from them again!

Disgusting reheated chips soggy chicken balls rubber chicken avoid at all costs

Chips was vile and bbq spare ribs, well let's just say it definitely was not bbq sauce, worst Chinese I've ever had, definitely won't get anything from there again, 1st time I've ordered from there, waste of £18

This used to be the best Chinese in the area But since their close down the food is still excellent but for some reason they have become greedy- Prices have increased -which you accept-but the portion sizes have decreased-the example I will give which in its self is ludicrous is the curry sauce - The smallest pot in history I don't think they could find a smaller one if they tried beans from the local chippy come in a bigger pot And let's face it how cheap is curry powder To be polite a p___s take Golden Dragon next door will get more custom if they don't re think their portion sizes Victim of their own success-Shame on you!!

Am not usually a fan of Chinese food but cannan changed my mind! I was really for standard takeaway far but when I saw the menu and online one I was spoilt for choice. Genuine Chinese dishes. l will highly recommend them.

Been here a few times, and the lady they have working for them is not a people person, rude at times or you can't have that as we have ran out,

Dreadful, worst Chinese ever eaten.

Dreadful, worst sweet and sour chicken balls we have ever eaten. First and last time we will ever buy from there

Waited almost 2 hours for delivery then when it did come most of it wos cold and very grecey it went in the bin it wos dreadful Never again

Ordered the food a small order for delivery the said about an hour 2 hrs later the food still hasn't come. We phoned them they said the driver was on his way we are 10 minutes round the corner, and it's been out for delivery for 20 minutes and the food turned up cold

Why don't you take card payments?!

Absolutely disappointing, they dont even answer there phone ,quite surprised there still open

We really enjoyed our recent takeaway from here. We ordered a mixture of rice noodles curry salt n pepper chicken etc. Was all piping hot on arrival and tasted great will definitely be ordering again

First time we ordered from here beef curry and rice was nice will be back

One of the nicest Chinese I've had from and a good price aswell

Appealing service. Ordered to be delivered 8pm. Called 815 to be told they were still cooking it. Called again 838 to be told on its way and we are 10 minutes away max. Call again at 9pm and still nowhere to be seen They state they have been busy! That's makes no odds to me when I called at 510pm asking for delivery for 8pm.

Spent over an hour trying to phone, just got the engaged tone every time. Went down, placed an order, was told 40 minute wait time, in fact she told everybody the same thing. Sat down & started talking to other customers, they’d all been waiting over an hour!! why the lady behind the desk just couldn’t have been honest & said a minimum of an hours wait is beyond me. As I was now bored, waited till their phone was ringing, rang the number myself, got the engaged tone. Waited till their phone wasn’t ringing, rang the number, got the engaged tone !! Most times their phone was ringing, the lady on the desk didn’t bother answering it as she was too busy talking to the delivery driver. Over an hour later finally got my order, the chicken curry didn’t really taste of curry, the sauce was thick & gloopy. At the bottom of the container was some kind of black liquid, a first for me with a curry. Gave two stars as the salt & pepper chicken & chicken wings were okay. Been previous years when it was really good, my wife & I were so disappointed especially after the long wait. Definitely won’t be going back again 🤬

The waiting time was not great. I was told that I needed to wait 20 minutes but it was 45 minutes later when I got my order. I ordered chicken in lemon sauce and after a few bites I immediately started to feel sick! It tasted like an artificial lemon flavour The fried rice was nice but the chips were odd 🤨. Overall I’d probably not go again

Sweet and sour very vinegary, curry was nice though

Lied about time as serve walk ins in front off phone orders then make excuses not good as orders should be in order .

Ordered meal at 6.40 they said 20 minutes so my husband went down. There was a couple waiting then someone came in placed an order. He was waiting and waiting and waiting in the end he said do you want my number she had the order in a bag. He got home meal was 🥶 cold. I phoned up they said they had shouted but they didn't will never buy from here again and will tell our friends to avoid

Staying in Chapel on a break away, just had a delivery, would like to say delivered within the time expected, was very warm and tasty food so thank you. :-)

Enjoyed wonderful chicken chow mein

This is the best chiness in skegness for me lovely food an great service an reasonably priced

Best Chinese food I've tasted in years. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food, friendly staff and reliable delivery to our caravan every time.

Prompt and polite service, brilliant delivery, lovely and plentiful hot food, good value for money

the woman on the phone is always so lovely, orders usually take about an hour to arrive, great prices. always delivered on time and the delivery drivers are always so lovely too, calls to tell me when they’re on their way and when they arrived. generous portions. the food is amazing and full of flavour. so far my favourite chinese takeaway for when i’m in ingoldmells. 10/10 would recommend

Mind blowing yummy ,mouth watering food😋 amazing Chinese and staff are lovely. This Chinese is our current obsession. Legit wow !

Hands down the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Well, attempted to. Duck starter was completely incinerated. The meat was black and snapped when you bit it. Me and my 6 year old had chow mein. We had to throw it away. It was absolutely inedible. The chow mein was completely dry and the noodles were burned. It was like eating straw. There wasn't a vegetable in sight and the pork was so minimal we counted about 5 slithers. This place should be shut down.

Amazing food and really big portions better than ant Chinese in sheffield

Local …. Phone engaged!!! Get that ya busy! But to cut me off twice!! In 10 minutes! And the phone number changed. Should of stayed where you was!!! I’ll go next door but one!!! 🤷‍♀️

Had sweet and sour pork balls uneatable barbecue spareribs like eating a raw bone the meats it’s supposed to fall off the bone I have lots of good meals in the few months I have moved here but it’s seems as soon as it gets busy (Holiday season) they just don’t seem they can cope such a shame

Very good food never had a bad meal

Terrible service. Ordered our food at 5.10 and was sent the wrong order 50 minutes later. I phoned them straight away and told them, having to repeat my order several times and was told it would be with us asap with the excuse that the numbers in their system did not match the food on the menu which I find ridiculous bearing in mind my partner ordered delivery from here last Tuesday and got the correct order. At 6.45 the food had still not arrived so I phoned AGAIN and was told my order was just being completed it then took another 45 minutes to actually arrive being lukewarm when opened and I was overcharged I will say that the driver/delivery guy was really friendly and polite apologising when none if this mess was his fault

(PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY) WE HAVE ORDERED FROM HERE THE LAST 6 YEARS IT'S BEEN VERY NICE AT A GREAT PRICE. BUT NOW I WOULDN'T HONESTLY EAT HERE FOR FREE.. ITS ABSOLUTE TRASH IN EVERY WAY.. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD.. BUT HONESTLY UP THERE NOW 100 PERCENT WITH SOME OF THE WORSE WE HAVE EVER HAD... RIP CANNAN

One of the best meals I've had this year. All first class.

Really disappointed. Ordered with a 1 hour wait. Called after 1hour 20 min. To be told its being bagged up and its on its way out. After 2 hours we cancelled the order. Got a call 5 mins later offering the food that's been ready for 40 min at half price. Politely refused and will never order again.

Dont listen to "rickus"hes only got the hump because he and his slop family got chucked out for being drunk again!5 star rating for this place!Best about by far

I was totally disgusted With the length of time I had to wait for my takeaway tonight and then when it arrived the chips were cold and the chicken balls were over cooked it was call sweet and sour chicken balls I have used this takeaway many many time but when you say to the owner it has been 2 hours with a child waiting for tea I think it was ignorant that he had the audacity to laugh definitely not a happy costumer

Very average food. Cash only which is inconvenient and fated. Wouldn't use again

Nice welcome. Good selection to choose from. Prices reasonable. Didnt take to long from ordering to receive it. We took ours down to the beach and had it in a picnic next to the waves. It all tasted fantastic. Even the chips were good

Ordered here for last three years.Gone down hill. Horrendous meal last night, to much wrong to mention.

Choose delivery as waiting time is over an hour even though you'll be told it's 30-40 mins! Wasn't really worth the wait either...

waiting time is disgusting waited 1 hours and 20 mins for this. yet they said 40 minutes

Always have some food from here everything we're over on holiday, can't fault the food at all, very consistent, always friendly delivery driver.

Sons loves his Chinese from here

Never had a bad meal here yet that's why we keep coming back. I am a creature of habit so I order the same but my son and partner do venture in to the unknown and order something different everytime and have not been disappointed yet. The only build I could give is when you order over phone they always say 20 mins, we always give it 40 mins.

First time visiting here only looks a bit pooky but lovley food nice beef curry was good quality beef wife had the chow mein very nice hot and sour soup OK but had better would definitely use again

Always great, everytime we either call in or takeaway

A couple, each chose the 2 in 1 combination plus shared a portion of chips, really enjoyed and just enough, quick service, good and hot.

Cannot Fault this place. 2 years in a row we have ordered from here, and the food was excellent. Easy to order, dropped off at our site, all the food was hot & tasted great. Alot better than the other chinese takeaway's we have tried around here.

House special chow mean and house special fried rice both with sauce absolutely delicious .

Ordered 2 hours ago, rang to politely ask how long meal will be, was told just finishing it now. 45 mins later, turned up cold. Won't be ordering anytime soon 😒

Nice food fast friendly service

First time ordering from here on Saturday. Delivered to Ingoldmells. Arrived piping hot, and omg, the food was so good, and so reasonably priced. Will definitely order from here again. Highly recommend!!

Worst Chinese I have ever had .the beef was covered in garlic .the sweet and sour was pure sour .the rice was so dry.a waste of money .

Salt and pepper chips are lovley, friendly staff and geat customer service . Delivered to caravan.

Brilliant food Brilliant helpful owners and staff we always go here when we have a Chinese would recommend highly

A delivery was ordered from a reasonably comprehensive menu and, although difficult to locate the house, the food arrived piping hot. That did not help. The chow mein was completely tasteless (how is that possible) and there was a box full of warm, grey rubber bands, apparently shredded chicken that were inedible.

Never,ever, had a bad meal from this takeaway. Everything always cooled perfectly, and rates amongst.the best Chinese food I have tasted, definitely the best I have tasted in Lincolnshire.

This is the worst Chinese takeaway I've had raw spare ribs burnt old prawn crackers dry chicken chow mein chips like bullets re-cooked. What a really disappointing meal

Great food, as equally good as my fav Chinese takeaways. I would have given 5 stars if I could have paid by credit card! I just don’t understand, I’d actually order more often as I’m sure most would if I could pay by card. Is it a Tax avoidance thing ????

BANGING CHINESE, on a mini break,order was delivered to the gate,best food i have ever had from a Chinese,and i tried loads on my travels,spot on guys thanks

Brilliant Chinese.. dropped off at the gates of the caravan park! Glad we found this Chinese! Food was hot and tasty and delivered very fast.. will be ordering next time we visit.. we’ve recommended this place to our friends Who visit a lot.. we ordered twice both times the meals were brilliant

We was recommended this Chinese. We have been excited to try But it wasn't nice at all. Charcoal tasting chowmein and bbq ribs didn't taste like bbq. unsure of the taste and it was so tough to eat like eating steak not pleasant at all its gone in the bin I'm afraid to say it was the worst Chinese I have ever had.

Excellent service the food is to die for my one and only choice

Gorgeous meals. I had the Egg Fried Rice with Chicken in Sweet & Sour Sauce. £5 for that alone, food was absolutely amazing for the price and service. Only took half an hour along with more items in our order. Came to £21, 3 meals for the 3 of us, could have definitely fed 4, we barely finished but well worth the stomach stretching haha. Thanks Canaan, best in Chapel St Leonards.

Food absolutely superb took half an hour but well worth the wait best chinese in chapel st leonards

Myself, my boyfriend and my parents ordered from this Chinese as it had been recommended by friends. Well when it arrived and it was put on the plates, my dads foo yung looked more like dog vomit and was watery, the BBQ ribs looked and tasted undercooked and they were definitely not in BBQ sauce, it was fully of oil and tasted awful. I had salt and pepper chicken and it was smothered in garlic and I love garlic but it didn’t taste anything like salt and pepper chicken more like garlic chicken! The special fried rice was dry and tasteless! Would never go here again!!! Anyone is having a laugh if they think this is decent food!

This is the best Chinese food we have ever had, so tasty... May have to relocate to Chapel 😉...Thank you Canaan 👏👏

Excellent service, gorgeous food and brilliant prices.

Lovely food prompt delivery will certainly go again

Gorgeous food with quick delivery

I live local but the food is fresh and spot on lucky to have such a great takeaway in a small village if in doubt try you will go back

Really great throughly enjoyed it

Food was lovely hot and freshly cooked

Stayed in Chapel St. Leonards for a mini staycation and couldn't dine out due to Covid restrictions. Rang up and ordered to collect and it was ready within 20 minutes. Decent portion sizes and good value for money. The staff were friendly and polite too.

Ordered 2 meals to be delivered, told be about 45 minutes, food arrived in 25 minutes. Unfortunately one of the meals was too hot and spicy. Rang and told them of the problem, they apologised and sent another meal without any quibble. Thank you Canaan absolutely brilliant service and meals very tasty

1st time here after it was recommended and we were NOT disappointed. The food came piping hot its was all fresh and tasted amazing, can't wait for our next visit 😋 and all the staff are so friendly and helpful

Well what can I say . We walked for 1hour to place our order as did try to ring 47 times . When we got there placed order so they could meet our starvation so gave them 1hour 30 min to deliver. After 2 hours I decided to give up on food and wasted away from starvation and go to bed. 2 seconds later from cancelling my order the driver rang and said it was in his hand. How ever I did not fancy my food for breakfast. If I had a choice I would have learnt to cook chineese food over a 12 month course and cooked it my self witch would have been quicker than the service this place has to offer. Or you could just drive to any other place in the whole of England and get your food faster.

Ordered by phone for delivery at 6 15pm sat. at 6 45 rang them not arrived the lady said the order misplaced not been cooked will get it there in 25 mins rang again at 7 30 told it is on it's way when it did arrive it was cold and mushrooms missing out of 2 portions. Last 4 orders 2 late 1 half an hour early and things missing out of portions oh and free bottle of coke missing when you spend over £29 be warned.

Good tastey food. Good price pleasant staff and delivery driver's. You lost a star because I hate spiders and they were waiting in reception with me🕷🕷🕷

About 3 minutes drive from golden palms. We ordered a takeaway for 6 people with a variety of dishes. All were extremely tasty, decent portions. Would recommend.

Food absolutely amazing , probably the best Chinese food I’ve ever had ! We are here for a weekend break , my only criticism is we had to wait 2 hours 10 mins for delivery , but yes when we got our food it was well worth the wait !

Food always good , but last time i went the curry sauce was very watery
