We ordered a take away for delivery, and ordered it to be delivered at 8pm as we were due home just before then. Just eat then said it was was delayed until 9:20pm so we knew we had plenty of time. I received a call at 6:20pm saying they were outside. I apologised and said it was ordered for 8pm, we are not there to collect it. The driver apologised and said he would sort it. At around 8:15pm I rang up just to confirm that the food was still coming and a young girl answered and said she would find out. Suddenly a very rude and angry man came on the phone, he did not say who he was, and started actually shouting at me down the phone for refusing the order. I tried to explain the problem but he would not let me get a word in. He said on his end it did not say 8pm but I had the app open and it said 8pm on my end. I even tried to say it may be a just eat error but he would not listen. He was extremely aggressive. I asked to speak to someone less unpleasant so he put the young girl back on the phone, who was full of apologies and incredibly helpful. So I would like to thank her and point out how good she was considering how aggressive and unprofessional her colleague was. When the food was delivered the driver was lovely, and he did show the ticket that said 6:55pm (still later than they actually tried the first time) but I explained that I had triple checked and the app said 8pm. I absolutely think this was a just eat error and did not bother me in the slightest, these things happen. This review is based on the vile behaviour of one of the staff. This is the first time I've ever left a negative review for anything because I was so appalled by the way in which he spoke to me. We order from here regularly and enjoy the food, so I really hope the establishment get rid of this awful employee.

Popped into Mangal House for a takeaway at the last minute. I ordered a Chicken Gyro, this came with chips, onions and cacik sauce (Tzatziki). Service was quick and the staff were nice. The meal was filling with a great mix of flavour. Nice takeaway in the local area that offer a mix of cuisines.

Thought I would try a delivery from here to see if it was somewhere I would like to go for a meal and honestly it was they worst takeaway I have ever had. I ordered a pizza which tasted horrible and a parasam which was worse. I asked for salad with the parasam but they gave me chips and these chips were still half frozen. You had to select bechelmal cheese, chilli or garlic with ur parasam and although I thought they were meant to come with cheese anyways I didn't want to take the risk. When it came they gave me these horrible chips and garlic sauce so when I rang and complained they said it came with the cheese sauce??? Why then is it on ur menu I wasn't given a tub of it I was given garlic instead. The chicken on the parasan was just heated and rubbery so it was £20 wasted. Good luck if u order from here and I hope ur drunk enough to eat this crap

After a number of great takeaways very disappointed in tonight's food and service! Parmo was burnt with freezing cold chips, seafood pasta wasn't but Mac cheese with 2 tiny mussels and also cold! Total waste of money. When I complained I was told there are too many people wanting free food so nothing they can do! I definitely wouldn't want free food and would never return!

Ordered from just eat. That will be the last time I order from here. It was 45 minutes late. My order came to £42 only half of it arrived I rang to say I had not received half my order the guy in the background went off in Italian shouting (have no idea what he was saying by his tone it wasn’t friendly) rest of the order got sent out. Which I was told it would be another £7.80. I said I wasn’t paying for it as I had already paid. The poor delivery guys hats off to them. Vile man and vile service.

It really pains me to write this review as we have been here several times and always had amazing food and service. Last year we had a fabulous evening on New Year’s Eve, everything spot on even though we were a party of 12. However, New Year’s Eve 2019 was disastrous. Our table for 14 people (2 friends decided to join us after hearing great things about our 2018 visit) was booked for 8pm. Our meals were pre-ordered, which we didn’t do last year, so expected to be served quickly and efficiently which is important when you have 3 children in the party.We were not actually seated until after 9pm by which time the kids just wanted to go home and were becoming rather tetchy, as were the adults to be honest! We were eventually served (after being given menus and expected to order again, although after we told the waiter they decided they already had our pre-orders) at 9.50pm. We ordered drinks from the bar which arrived in dribs and drabs over about 40 minutes. We are still waiting for two of the starters to arrive! When the mains came half of them were barely warm and my son’s steak was totally inedible, I don’t think it had even seen the grill let alone cooked, it was purple inside. Dreadful. Needless to say we didn’t order desserts as we would have still been sitting there now!There was one waiter and two staff on the bar, one of whom had just started that day and was thrown in at the deep end, and the other had actually just called in to eat (she was the owner’s girlfriend) and was roped in to serve. The only apology we had came from her. It would have been nice if the owner (the waiter) had apologised but this did not happen. We understand that staff shortages occur but a heartfelt apology would have gone a long way to ease our frustrations, but no, met with head down, no eye contact at all while we all stood for an hour waiting to be seated.The only thing that was achieved quickly was when we asked for the bill. Now to me, any good business man would have halved the bill or at least taken off the drinks as a gesture of goodwill but no everything (other than the still alive steak, which my son said when he sent it back that he wouldn’t pay - by this time he was past being hungry) was to be paid for. When we went to pay the bill we said we weren’t prepared to pay all of it and they eventually knocked off £30, which was again left to the owner’s girlfriend to sort out, he just disappeared. With hindsight I think we should have just given them half of the total because in all fairness it wasn’t even worth that. Ruined our evening, we thought we were in a new episode of Fawlty Towers. Such a great pity as we really loved going there in the past. We were not the only ones to have had such a bad NYE experience and I feel it will take an awful lot for this business to survive if things don’t drastically improve.

The food, the service, and the owners negligent attitude completely ruined my families New Year’s Eve dinner. We were part of a large pre-booked party of 14 people that included family members and friends from locally as well as the United States. Everyone at the table was shocked and appalled at the wait time (we pre-booked and pre-ordered for 8pm, and did not get sat down until 915pm and did not get food until 945pm!), the food (absolutely disgraceful, undercooked, wrong, and cold), the service (horrendous), and the lack of customer service (pathetic). Zero leadership and/or apology from the owner for what ended up being a total disaster of a meal from start to finish. Zero compassion. Zero effort to make things right or to try and solve the problem. Zero communication. I am of the belief that pure greed caused the delays and wait time issues, as clearly they had given our large table and probably some of our pre-ordered food to some “walk-in party” earlier in the night too close to our 8pm slot. While I can understand this is certain unique situations for much smaller tables/parties, I would never expect it in this situation where we pre-booked months in advance and paid a deposit!!!! And on New Year’s Eve!We spoke to various other patrons who were experiencing similar issues with pathetic cold food and ridiculous wait times. Everybody was fuming. So it seems like the entire night was a disaster for this place. to the owner——What happened? And what are you going to do to put things right here for the good people who’s big night you destroyed?

RottenThis restaurant offers home delivery as a takeaway I would suggest not attempting to try this at all if you’re looking for good food travel a mile and a half further up the road to a proper Italian restaurant. Food quality and delivery times are a joke if you want your order for around 8 o’clock I would suggest ringing the restaurant at 4:30 pm delivery times are diabolical. Food came cold and to be honest you would be better off going to McDonald’s. Pizza was absolutely disgusting and the pasta Bolognese was pretty much out of a packet you could do better yourself with a microwave meal. Try it you might like it.

Lets start this review by saying we have visited this restaurant many times in the past and have fabulous food and service which is why we booked it for our wedding anniversary meal with friends on 13/8/19. However, what we did not know was that it has changed hands. As soon as we entered we were aware something was amiss as the people at the next table were complaining.We then waited for about 40 minutes for our order to be taken as there was only 1 waiter in who was serving drinks and food and to be honest he was the only decent thing about the evening. Eventually after about 1 hour 10 minutes we got our starters. 2 were ok but the 2 who ordered calamari were disappointed by the minute portion served. We then waited about another 40 minutes for our main courses. 3 arrived the 4th one didn't turn up. This had happened to another large party who were served before us. When it eventually turned up it was disgraceful. It was supposed to be spaghetti bolognese. it looked like mince in gravy with out 10 pieces of spaghetti in it. My hubby had seafood pasta which had a few mussels in it a couple of prices of calamari and nothing else, no prawns. It tasted awful and it was sent back. We then asked to speak to the owner who was cooking that night!!!!! as the chef was on holiday. Well what fun that was. He said he was sorry but he'd only had 1 booking that night, that was us and he had 2 large walk in parties and it meant things got a bit out of hand. He offered us a free meal if we went back. not a chance. I do want to say that Michael the waiter was superb. He did the very best he could in such difficult circumstances and if not for him the night would have been even worse. We were given a bottle of wine to take home and various things left off the bill. If there was no chef available he should not have taken bookings as the owner clearly cant cook. If you read my many reviews you will see I never leave negative feedback as I do try and see the good in everything but apart from the waiter nothing else was good. If you are thinking of going check the chef is in.

We were offered pork as an alternative. Thankfully my son was ok with pork. However when it arrived, it was pork steaks chargrilled and he didn’t enjoy the charred burnt taste. The only saving grace was the venue was clean and decor really good (and my son loved the mash)!

Visited with a family of nine today for a birthday, was a little disappointed this time as normally always really good. Staff are amazing but on a Sunday they now have a singer on and you cant really have a conversation with your group. They offer the normal Sunday menu along with their normal menu, everyone was content with food but the Sunday dinners people had were look warm at best. I assume they were waiting at the pass why those orereding food from the standard menu had their food prepared. Will return ,but most likely not on a Sunday the singer is a bit pointless and really you can't even hear yourself think.

The place is very well done out - simple white walls giving things a nice clean look and just about the right amount of Italiana up on the walls. Staff were incredibly friendly and really added to the feel of the place. Food was great, none of us had a meal we didn't like.

We visited this restaurant last weekend for a last minute treat. It was around teatime so the place was quite quiet so difficult to judge the atmosphere of the place. There are so many Italian restaurants around that it's easy to compare good and and not so good restaurants. The food was very tasty indeed and the service was good. Only criticism re the food was the strange choice of deserts. A bit like the frozen desserts in Spanish restaurants which no one eats. Having said that I was still impressed. Restaurant didn't feel cosy but I accept that may be due to the time we were there.

I've been here twice now, most recently as an all adult group. The food and service are excellent and very good value too. The menu is extensive with a great selection to suit all. The staff are attentive but not overbearing, and they genuinely seek honest feedback to improve. This is a very good recent addition to the local area and I recommend a visit.

We have been to mamma mia’s a few times now to eat in and take away and can’t rate it enough! It’s a lovely family friendly restaurant with great fresh food! We tried out the new take-away menu today and must say the new burgers and the kebab box are both lovely, the burger is one of the best I’ve had! A must visit !

Second time we have been here and I have got to say it's our favourite restaurant by far, the quality and service you get here is the best around. The seafood pasta is super tasty and you can tell it's cooked with freshest of ingredients also the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Not one really to ever write reviews but can't rate these enough..ps the garlic mushrooms are lush

Went last night food was amazing cooked fresh starters to mains and desserts were brilliant. Decor is lovely and fresh the place is a lot nicer than the Indians Naz Haven before had a quick look at the hygiene rating before booking as that's really important when looking at a place to eat and the restaurant recently got a 5 star rating that puts your mind at ease. You can look into the kitchen when walking in and it's totally spotless. Special thanks to waitress Stacey for being warm and bubbly making our night. Owner came over and spoke to our party which was a nice touch. Looking forward to going again when in the area

We have eaten here 3 times since it opened and loved it every time. When we went with our children for my son's 4th birthday, the staff made a big fuss of them both and really made us feel welcome. The birthday mocktails went down a treat and the food was all delicious. Stacey (The waitress) was a big hit with both of my children.

This restaurant has just opened and is literally 1 minuet walk from my home so I had to give it a try. I visited the end of September with a friend. I was very impressed with the decor. The staff where very pleasant. Service was very good. We ordered a bottle of wine, starter to share 2 steaks and 3 sides and was very pleased with the overall bill. The food was delicious. I will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for an enjoyable evening.

Went for lunch and drinks today for the first time. I will start by saying as soon as walked in we thought,,WOW! The decor is amazing and the Art on the wall fabulous. The food and wine were amazing too. Could not fault a thing. The owners came to talk with us and we're there for ages after our meal, explaining where they were from and why they opened the business in Fencehouses, explained to us he is an artist, and did all of the art work,other than a couple of ladies who he met at art college, who came and did a beautiful mural on the wall as a kind gesture. After all of this, when I was ordering our taxi, they made me cancell it and gave us a lift home!!! Words are not enough to explain how great thisl place is, the hospitality is second to none,they even explained where all the meat comes from and how much,and it is certainly best quality meat they source. And they by the best meat for the customers, and don't make a big profit. We can highly recommend this place, and will most certainly go back. Also the staff were fabulous too. Thank you so much to you all for a lovely day, you are amazing, just what we need locally. We wish you all the luck in the world. Hilary and Les Dodds. Xx

The tortellini and blush sauce was great. The eggplant parmesan was tasty but the marinara sauce on it was flavorless and uncooked. Overall, the service was friendly and fast. The garlic knots are delicious, but could use more garlic.

Fantastic food as always. Lovely, friendly and professional staff. Great atmosphere and ambiance. One tiny quibble though is the poor condition of the car park. My 88 year old Mother had trouble walking over the terrible uneven ground in the car park. Need to get it sorted Bellinis.

I ordered from these at 9.30pm as a late tea, they close at 23:00 apparently. 45 minutes later I get a message saying my order is canceled as they are closed. Absolutely useless. Thanks for the messing around.

Well, managed to get an early table for a family tea. Service was splendid - even when my loud son was shouting for assistance/ apologies he is autistic and is über friendly and loud. The meal was fantastic and served speedily, extremely tasty starters, main...
