Five Guys Bracknell in Bracknell Forest

Travelled 200 miles with 2 hungry children and thought could rely on McDonald’s! Arrived at 7pm restaurant was mostly closed off so limited tables , tables absolutely filthy- one lady cleaning duties but was wandering around like she was on some kind of go slow drug even had eyes closed ?! Literally had 8 tables to clean and couldn’t be arsed. In end I got some wipes and used the McDonald’s hand gel to clean our table. Hundreds of staff working behind the scenes though

NB The previous owner has gone and it’s no longer the Jahan Kitchen – it’s now run by different people – and the negative reviews refer to the previous guy (who left July/Aug 2024). The food at Panna Kitchen is superb. I’ve never had a mainstream madras or tikka masala from there – but I’ve had a number of their specialist dishes – the Railway Chicken Curry, Bengal Naga, Chicken Makhani – and they are ruddy fantastic. There is literally no comparison in value for money between Panna Kitchen and other curry houses – they absolutely stuff their food boxes. The sheer weight of them tells you. One rice box does at least three people! Compared to The Shenai? You’re joking! A little while ago, I ordered a butter chicken and naan bread from The Shenai, takeaway, and it was £16.90! Split it between two of us and it was nowhere near a meal – both hungry afterwards. From Panna Kitchen, I got a railway curry, rice, naan bread and a bombay aloo, they gave a discount and it came to £16.50 – and THREE of us were stuffed afterwards. And they gave a few free poppadums as well. & the food quality was absolutely brilliant! The difference between the two is mental. The Panna Kitchen might not be the most efficient nor quickest, bless ‘em, but they do glorious food and it’s EXCELLENT value!

Ordered hot drinks, a sausage bap and katsu wrap.. The cafe was nearly empty. Drinks arrived quickly and were finished before food arrived.. After 20 mins, I asked where our food was, it had been forgotten.. When food finally arrived, the sausage bap was barely warm and the katsu wrap filling was wrong (which got corrected).. The staff did not seem to care and there was no customer interaction..

Heard about this place through a friend. Had a great time and the food was fantastic, the staff were happy and couldn't help enough. We ordered a sharing platter and asked if they could add another place to it, which was no bother at all. The food was delicious and VERY plentiful!!!. After our meal, we were invited to see the smoker units and meet the owner. He was a very personable chap and gave us a good insight to how the food is cooked. It's that personal touch a lot of restaurants need to embrace that Triple BBBs are well ahead of. Can't wait to go back.

Useless, missed part of an order, said they would resend it but didn't get anything, upon calling back simply got told all the drivers were busy. Rude on the phone and unhelpful.
