Diamond Takeaway in Allerdale

Meal for 3 was very good - nice selection and all dishes were prepared well and tasted good. Overall an enjoyable meal at a reasonable price. Two containers of rice perhaps too much. One noodle would have improved it.

Was really hungry after a busy day at work, I had the 1/4 duck which was not good enough, the plum sauce was so thick I could of plastered a wall with it, the real disappointment was the chicken satay, dry chicken and if that’s satay sauce I’m the queen of England, it was like boiled dishwater! Discussing waste of money My guts are now doing the Waltz

Decided to try Diamond again as we haven’t been for awhile and had a few bad experiences with the Chinese we used to go to in Cockermouth. So glad we did because it was delicious! Really tasty chow mein noodles, egg fried rice and chicken in crispy noodles. Lots of flavour, definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try a new Chinese!!

We opted for the set meals for 2 which offered excellent value for money. Fine selection of starters and good sized main courses.

Awful slimy cheap meat. Tasteless and couldn't even finish our meals. What a waste of money, not great after being at work all day and looking forward to a Chinese!

We have had food from here twice now, once tonight and once last summer, and both times its been great! We are no experts on Chinese cuisine but we have enjoyed the Chow Mein and crispy beef. I walk past this place daily and the family is always working and they are always incredibly polite, punctual and nice.

Always good food, on time (although wait times can be long sometimes, as it seems like they only accept orders they can fulfill on time). They do only accept cash, but there is a cash machine less than 100m away outside Sainsbury's.

Another great takeaway from Diamond. Fresh and flavour some. The family tried some different dishes today and we liked them just as much.

We got so much food that they had to give us a box and it didn't even come to that much money. It is very reasonably priced and it is actually ready when they say it will be and the food tastes of good quality and is delicious.

I wish I had consulted the reviews prior to eating their “chicken curry and friend rice”. Having paid £7+ for a whole onion, bag of rice and some white processed matter which they refer to as chicken, but I’d argue didn’t originate from anything that had previously lived, I was prevented from sleeping and was awarded with a migraine. This place used to be good two decades ago but I will not go again, ever.

Waste of £30 tasteless overpriced food and was ill after it. Family of 3 never again Avoid,avoid,avoid

Ordered a chicken curry and when we got it home we realised it had peas and mushrooms through it, looked and tasted pretty disgusting too. Chicken satay was nice and shredded chicken with sauce was pretty rank aswell. Really disappointing and a total waste! =( We were only passing through for our holiday so we didn't see the point in driving all the way back to ask for a refund.

Ordered takeaway to collect, first from here for a while. Collected food and when opened at home order was wrong, no beef in my wifes meal and both meals had to be warmed up. We live 3 minute walk from takeaway.

Nice hot food various choices and decent takeaway the usual Chinese takeout we had the mixed star Kung po and oyster special

I don't know whats happened since the Diamond has changed hands but its gone downhill quicker than am olympic skier! The Cheng Bao used to be the most amazing tasty dish, but not now. Used to be our regular go to. But not now, won't be back.

Tried this take away whilst on holiday, the food was hot tasty generous portions and excellent value for money. The food was still piping hot even after a short 5-10 walk back to the house. Try it it’s good

Brilliant food as always! Super fresh and delicious. All the vegetables are fresh and not over cooked which means they keep their flavour and colour. Best Chinese in Cockermouth!

I always go to Bamboo for takeaways but they did not answer the phone. I got exactly what I wanted in Diamond and it was cheaper. More chicken in the dishes too!

First time I have used this takeaway, came recommended and we were not disappointed. The food quality and taste was excellent, reasonably priced and the portions were more than adequate. Waited no more than 15 minutes for our order. They proudly display a commendable hygiene rating 4. Travelled from Keswick to try the food and will do so again, highly recommended.

I used to love coming here for a takeaway as the Kung Bo chicken was to die for. It was sweet, tangy, spice free and lightly battered. However, since the change of ownership, it was a farewell to that beloved recipe. Instead, the chicken is now more crispy and super spicy (more than I can handle). However, I decided to give the menu another try and opted for the Cantonese style chicken. The sauce was nice however the chicken was over battered and the actual taste of the batter was overpowering. It was like it was coated in pure cornflour. I had to stop eating it as it gave me a bad stomach. One positive was the salt and pepper chicken was nice and not too spicy. Overall, with Bamboo and Lee’s just a stone throw away, I don’t think I’ll be coming back here for a takeaway.

Just a normal takeaway, but very good food, reasonably priced, punctual when ordered and very friendly!

I only chose here as the Full House was closed.Ordered the meals, nice friendly service, the food was ready to collect at the time I asked for.But food was bland and dry, the gravy watery and very over priced. It cost £3.00 more than at the Full House, for the same dishes.

Pretty much what you'd expect from a no thrills takeaway. Cash only, they don't take cards (neither do most of the hairdressers in Cockermouth). I was caught out trying to pay by card, fortunately there's a cash machine close by, amazed they're cash only in the 21st century.

We fancied a Chinese meal for tea and having passed this place earlier in the day and the the smells from the kitchen were lovely we ordered the sweet and sour chicken. A good sized portion, not too many pieces of veg in the sauce but plenty of chicken. The sauce was just on the edge of too vinegary for my taste but wouldn’t put me off from ordering from here again.

Fast service and great tasting food, the variety is very good. Clean place and kitchen easy to view.

Really great meal again. Salt and pepper chips were amazing. Curry dishes were big enough for 2 people. Plenty of choice here for vegetarians too.

Diamond used to be the go-to takeaway in Cockermouth but recently I have noticed it going downhil with the prices going up.

Anteriormente han sido excelentes, pero este miércoles mayo semestre era un desastre. Un montón de pedidos saliendo tarde nuestra era media hora después de que me habían dicho que significa otras órdenes de la familia de otro para llevar habían ido fría, muy decepcionado nunca tuve un problema antes de hoy.

Mientras caravanning unos kilómetros hicimos el viaje a Cockermouth y Diamond fue el único chino abierto, 5 estrellas en la puerta hizo un buen comienzo. De vuelta en la c/van la comida, 2 comidas era muy sabroso y un montón un poco caro a 15 libras, pero nos pareció que era excelente y lo recomendaría.

No hemos probado esta comida para llevar antes, pero decidimos probar porque nos visitaba a unos amigos en Cockermouth. Tuvimos varios platos de pollo desmenuzado, sal crujientes patatas fritas y pimienta, curry de Singapur y mucho más. La comida era la mejor que he probado de comida para llevar. Sin duda dispuesto a viajar a comer aquí la próxima vez. El tamaño de las porciones eran muy grandes también

Pedimos comida para llevar y recoger un esperaba todo estar en orden.

Nos dieron una comida para llevar para dos y aunque nos quedamos impresionados con la calidad de la comida, nos dimos cuenta de que en nuestros platos había un saldo muy desigual de verduras (cebollas) a la carne, especialmente probablemente unos 70 / 30 a favor de la verduras, yo diría. Concesión que estamos decepcionados, como para un llevar que era bastante caro.

Por desgracia, mientras escribiendo mi comentario hace un mes, me presiona accidentalmente enviar antes de mi revisión fue completada.

La principal comida era genial, no me puedo quejar. Pero las patatas fritas, absolutamente horrible! Seco y duro, rotos en el plato cuando

We got a takeaway to take to a friends house . We ordered around 10 dishes . I was really impressed by the quality of the food . Good portion sizes too. Food was faultless . The service we received was also excellent . We didn't have to wait too long either . Would highly recommend. Will visit again

Food was OK and arrived hot after been picked up. It was not the most flavoursome Chinese I've had. 8 mains ordered and no prawn crackers......

When it comes to a takeaway in Cockermouth I always choose between diamond and one other. I've never been disappointed as everything I've tried so far is delicious! It's no wonder why this place is one of the more popular takeaways in Cockermouth.

Stayed nearby in a lodge and decided to have a Chinese takeaway checked reviews and decided to try here all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals was lovely would definitely call again if staying on area.

I haven't visited the Diamond for many years as I tend to cook my own meals. However this particular evening, we decided to have a quick takeaway, having had a busy day.We ordered special fried rice which was ok and chicken chow mein which was, frankly, tasteless. I don't think we will be visiting again. Home cooking is so much tastier and healthier!

Food was tasty and fresh and much nicer than a lot of Chinese takeaways I've had. Not one bad dish. I can highly recommend it!!

Awesome food and reasonably priced. We are regular customers and wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff are great and it has a 5* Scores on the Doors to boot!

I get a Chinese from this takeaway very often, salt and pepper chips are to die for as is the shredded chicken...staff are very helpful, certainly recommend

We stayed at cockermouth for Northband , we tried the food at diamond and we all thought it was really yummy! Good sized portions . We then went back the next night and got more food ! Same good food and service

Ordered two chow mein takeaways as we were staying in a local hotel and it was late. We couldn't even eat the food (which was mostly spring onions) as it was so bad, and was swimming in oil. Wouldn't recommend you waste your time or money going here, its not edible!!!! Disappointing as we saw a 5* review for it and we both usually love chinese.

Very good Chinese takeaway. Only thing is, they don't do Sui Mai. Not difficult for the Chinese, but not available. If you are looking in Diamond, please try. Salt and pepper Sui Mai etc etcOtherwise, nice, basic Chinese menu.
