Salt and vinegar in Coventry

They took 10 minutes food very good coming again

Great food and such lovely staff a regular place for me to eat - highly recommend Surprised at the negative reviews not justified at all!

I have had food in many restaurants over coventry and even in west orchids. This is first time I am reviewing because of the worst food preparation. Portion and price of the food is 0. As an Indian i don't look up racism in the whole UK. But here in Salt and vinegar providing services and food with worst behaviour. Kept out the left over food. I suggest no one to try even there.

Lovely food and big portions, really enjoyed the food

We ordered Samosa Chat, Pau Bhaji and Aloo Tikki Chat. Aloo tikkis were quite stale, horrible tasting. The other two were quite decent. What came as a shock was the customer service. I have never seen staff and manager so adamant and reluctant, they refused to accept it. The manager came across as very rude, I used to work in the same industry during my uni days, but this kind of service is appalling. Won't be going there again and will be spreading the word across to family and friends across Coventry.

Lovely meal tbh and contract clean too staff are amazing too

Was very disappointed in the food couldn't eat it would not go there again and for the price I paid for the meals wasn't eatable

Im sorry but i paid for small chips and got genuinely 15 chips on a plate, not even a small child would be any sort of fullness from 15 chips. thats madness. 3.50 by the way. good employees and atmosphere though.

Myself and my friend are away up here at the moment, after doing a little shopping we dropped into Salt & Vinegar. Very budget friendly, 2 x Generous sized Jacket potatoes with thick cut bacon bits and large portion of cheese with a side salad. Ordered the above and within 10 minutes was served and bought to our table. 2 bottle of Dr.Pepper to help it go down. £15 for two meals!!! Thank you ❤️

Food is great but horrible waiting times. Waiting 30 mins for a scoop of chips

Once ordered and paid we realised we had a bad experience last time we was in Coventry We ordered and paid and asked twice for certain if coffee was decaff the first time the answer was yes I think so followed by yes sugar is here. I had a jacket potato with cheese and bacon bits. The potato was cold so I sent it back about 15 minutes later it came back exactly the same not even re arranged on the plate . We will deffonatly remember this next time and not forget like we did this time. Also if you can't speak and understand English then shouldn't be working in a English customer faced buisness.

Ordered the vegetarian breakfast and beans on toast (specifically, without butter). Received beans on toast with butter, which was disappointing, but not as disappointing as being provided a non-vegetarian breakfast, then being accused of not having ordered a vegetarian breakfast, and then being told if we wanted a vegetarian breakfast we would have to pay the entire £6.50 for a new one. In any other establishment, or one which desires to maintain returning customers, a new breakfast would have been provided - we were not even fussy enough to have requested a swap of the entire breakfast, but simply the exchange of the bacon and sausages for veggie sausages! This was, of course, refused. I have no doubt having read some of the other comments on this page that the owner will either accuse me of lying or make some claim that we should have spoken out more - the latter we already did. In regards to the food quality, the beans had obviously been left out a while, but this wasn't a real problem. If you're desperate, perhaps give this place a go. Make sure, however, that you go over what you ordered a few times with the waitress just so you can't be accused of having not ordered what you did.

I had the butternut curry . It was amazing. I’ve eaten curry’s all over the world but none like this Thanks

The chole bhature I had was perfectly spiced chole paired with bhature. An authentic and satisfying dish that hit all the right notes.

Excellent service, amazing food, good quality and quantity, staffs are great and helpful,, overall awesome.. 😍😍 highly recommended.. place.

The food quality and service here is very good

Superb place to eat special authentic indian food along side choice of English food as well . Very clean quick service tasty food yum

Best curry iv had for a long time! Tried for the first time think I will be back for lunch next week! Was served by Abbie! Who was really friendly and couldn’t help Enough! And then Rita that served my food with a smile! The food was great and service 10 stars!

Very nice food , have been a few times this week. Try the curry pot 👌🏻

Regular customer when in West Orchards! Food is absolutely amazing and the staff are super friendly and brilliant!!! 10/10!!

Rita and her staff are lovely and the food is fantastic!

The best kebab I’ve ever had! Will definitely be back 😍

Veg curry was a bowl of rice with a while cans worth of kidney beans , wasn’t very nice at all , fish and chips were dry and tasteless

Absolutely appalling for the price and size portions of the chicken tika wraps they more like a mini wrap what a rip off complaint to management basically told take it or leave it 😡

Excellent food (best Masala chips I've ever had!) One of the best meals I've eaten in a long time. Friendly and welcoming staff, definitely recommended.

Currently working inside west orchards and thought I’d try these guys for lunch. The food is incredible I had the curry & naan and it was demolished. Loved every bit. Worth every penny and great value for money for a high quality lunch. Definitely would highly recommend

Really disappointed. Ordered a breakfast munch box and within my pot of beans was an uncooked/raw chip. Unfortunately this contamination put me off the rest of my food and I was unable to finish the box. On top of this the bacon had been sat for some time, and was clearly old. Salad on the battered box was very soggy and wet, causing the rest of the items within the box to then be soggy. Staff were rude at the tills. Only one member of staff knew what she was doing, staff advised us they dont do a breakfast box after it clearly being on the menu, perhoas some training in customer service and being polite is needed. Both items ordered included a drink, only drink option available was coke zero or Pepsi, again quite poor. EDIT- We didnt come back to the til because thw two people we spoke to before yourself were rude. There was a raw chip in my beans. Do not call me a liar. We spoke to two people before yourself who were rude, and advised that there was no brekafast box. The drink option given was coke zero and pepsi.

You can actually smell the spices used in the food. I decided to try it.. OMG we had the buttered chicken and rice with nan bread so delicious and yummy. Will return again. Excellent food and atmosphere.

Finally found a place that does authentic Indian food. Came here other day to try the butter chicken and it was awesome 🤩. Today I am trying the masala fish I am impress with Rita and service she has provided me. I will be definitely coming back to try all of the Indian dishes.

Food was cold and the staff were rude. The woman at the counter got my order totally wrong and refused to take accountability. Would not recommend this place to anyone!

great food, service was fast chips are banging

Both had fish and chips and it was superb. The only criticism is my Husband ordered curry sauce and it was a bit too thin but very tasty. Will go again

Food is amazing, fresh, tasty and worth trying. My go to place in Coventry. Great atmosphere and lots of variety of food.

Regular place for lunch, amazing food and friendly customer service!

Coming all the way from India and craving for homely food, S&V has made me feel at home. Chole bhature, daal makhani and masala tea! Best combo ever! Warm hospitality, great taste, good quantity per person and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone who comes here!

Absolutely phenomenal service and beyond words with the food. Real authentic Indian style street food. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing by Coventry town centre food court!

A loving and moorish food, salt and vinegar is the best chip shop is the best place to good

Lovely fish and chips. Friendly staff too. Thanks!

Food only just edible , long wait despite there being no other customers , used table's that were dirty when I got there still not cleared when I left , very poor

Scampi and chips amazing very hot food definitely reccomend. Fish and chips put of this world

Rita the owner was very kind and accommodating. The butter chicken was amazing and so were the the chips. The iced laate was refreshing and overall the vibe was good. Will definitely recommend it 👌

BRILLIANT STAFF BRILLIANT FOOD STAFF ALWAY'S HELPFUL 10/10. LIKE HOW THE STAFF CATER FOR SMALL CHILDREN WITH PLASTIC PLATE AND CUTLERY. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH A SMILE

We had good experience in this shop up to previous visit, But today they changed their serving pattern. It's very disappointed.

A breakfast is defined by the quality of the sausage. This is was not very good quality - pale and immensely fatty. It had clearly been deep fried, as had the mushrooms. The plate was swimming in grease. Not sure whether I just chose poorly but I would be reluctant to eat here again or to recommend it.

Had aloo prante and a samosa, both were very tasty and just the right spice

Food isn’t half bad. Hot dogs are proper sausage, but the chips let it down a bit for me. 40p for a tiny pot of ketchup is ridiculous though.

Hi rita hope your ok the way that woman spoak to you earlier today was disgusting and not very nice you didn't deserve that because at the end of the day you were only doing your job she was way out of line and very disrespectful towards you ohh and thanks for the pen

Staff friendly and food excellent

Excellent service and tasty food

Me and my dad come here every week for fish and chips and tikka naan wrap. The food is absolutely lovely, nice and fresh. The staff are pleasant very helpful and polite, very clean and tidy, would highly recommend.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Given one star because no option to give none. I have been hear a few time and not had any issues but on my last visit the food was awful, the some of the staff are rude. It's such a shame this could be a great place / business.

Been twice know and food was excellent.

Lovely staff, gluten free friendly menu, just ask

The service was fast and friendly. I had the Chicken Curry Pot and was amazed at how authentic the dish was. It immediately took me back to my childhood in Durban, RSA which has the largest Indian community outside of India. Mass produced curry sauces that all have the same taste and texture is almost unheard of in this community. Originality is king. Salt and Vinegar is top class when it comes to great value for money.

The food looked and tasted amazing Had the kebab much box and it was like opening a present and the food wow and tasted great

Stumbled across S&V while deciding what to grab for lunch... and so glad we did! We had the Chicken Tikka Wrap, Paneer Wrap and Aloo paranthas... Yumtastic food. Authentic flavours and friendly service.

Lovely service and food.... thankyou so much

Just had gluten free fish and chips at the Salt and Vinegar in the Orchard Centre food hall, Canteen area in Coventry. Brilliant. Very tasty. As a coeliac, I can recommend it. They do do take aways too. 👍👍👍

Had a battered munchbox and was really nice and great portion size. Polite and friendly staff too would recommend!

Food was lovely and hot and freshly made :) would definitely eat here again :)

Really enjoyed my experience here. Food was excellent. Staff were great. The boss Rita really made me feel welcome which is something you don’t often see so all in all I oh Really enjoy the experience.

Amazing customer service lovely food

Service and food are fantastic! The staff are really nice. Cannot wait to have it again! Best food place in the West Orchards

Great place for fish and chips ! staff are lovely and welcoming

Lovely fish and chips, great service, would highly recommend!

Regular customer at salt and vinegar and the place has never disappointed me. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is tasty and served hot. Would recommend 😊

The food here is really good - give the curry pots a try! Very friendly staff and a nice chill atmosphere. Food can take a while to arrive, but it’s worth the wait. I have a nut allergy and they are very accommodating - it’s one of the only places out that I can comfortably eat Indian food, which is really appreciated.

Every time we come here, it is always delicious food and friendly staff. It is also in a very convenient location.

Had two chicken curry's with a nan and a 6 item breakfast highly recommended

Hi guys had food here - breakfast, lunch and Sunday roast. It’s absolutely amazing food. Lovely service from staff very tasty breakfast, lovely fish and chips and Sunday roast was delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Hi I had fish&chips curry sauce from here. Had very good portion sizes and food was delicious. Staff were nice I come here regularly

The food is incredible and the service is amazing, rlly liked it ❤️❤️

Have been eating here since it opened, such a wide range of food choice, food is always cooked fresh to order. Their new curry pots are my personal new favourite and are to die for, especially with a handmade naan on the side to dip in. I often have the full English most mornings also and can't fault it. I've read a few of the negative reviews, and getting to know the staff that work here over time I'd say take those reviews with a pinch of salt, they're a friendly bunch and any slight issues I've had have been quickly sorted. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, support independent!

One of my friends recommended this place. And we've been there to try the food. My husband ordered the 10 items breakfasts, which it was absolutely amazing and tasty. I tried the curry pot with a naan. I ordered butter chicken, and I got a free samosa with that. Everything was tasty and really good. I highly recommend this place. And the staff are really friendly. You should try the curry pot's it's absolutely amazing.

I've been with my family and we had a lovely meal. My husband ordered fish and chips witch it was amazing, and my daughter had the cod bits the size it was really impressive. I tried the curry pot and it was absolutely amazing. I've received a free samosa with the curry witch it was really good. I highly recommend this place the food is amazing and the staff really friendly.

Fish cooked fresh to order but the chips where not good at all I'm afraid looked cooked but slightly hard maybe abit stale in the middle and see a customer go to the owner showing that there lamb donner was hard and they could not eat it the owner didn't seem to fussed and proceeded to speak about the unhappy customer between staff, I seen all the bad reviews and have it the benefit of the doubt but honestly would never come back here even if the food was good the rudness of the owner/manager is to much they deffo dont like people to talk about there food unless they have no issues with it

Absolute disgusting food! The donner meat was rock hard!!! Went and told the manager and even showed her the meat and her reply was well no one else has complained!!!! And walked off!!!! Avoid this place!!!!

Our food was absolutely delicious and the staff are so welcoming I’d definitely recommend coming here😁

This is the place from I had bad food and it is so awful . Service is so poor

Sat here now and this place is horrendous. The Gravy looks like it has whale blubber in it, tried to take it back to the counter and waited for a few minutes but nobody came 🤷🏼‍♂️. And they have no idea how to make a cup of tea. Also the portion sizes are very small. £3.50 for medium chips and got a child’s portion! Before they reply saying they “checked CCTV and the portion I got was larger than on the picture” I’ve eaten 1 chip before taking the picture. EDIT :- I actually just left and didn’t eat any more. They must not change the oil regularly enough as the chips had a burnt taste to them.

Every time I have eaten here I have found d the staff to be friendly and helpful and the food is good

Ordered the chicken jalfrezi box meal for £5.99 and I have to admit it was the best tasting chicken I've had in a long time. The only complaint is the lack of samosa as if it tasted as good as the curry then I've missed out on a treat. Chips were fresh. Nice to have proper cutlery and not the awful wooden ones that are currently the trend. Definitely will come back as the munch box on another table looked amazing.

Always like to come here as the food is great and I consider it to be good value for money ( much better than McDonald's). Staff are always friendly and lovely to have a quick chat with. Restaurant is clean and well kept.

It was empty when we walked in which we found odd at that time of day but didn’t think anything of it. Well, we got to know why! Absolutely awful café! Terrible food and awful staff! received my chips which looked and tasted at least a couple of days old. Sent them back and the staff member didn’t apologise, just carried on looking miserable. Got the new portion and they were hard in the middle so just ate the ones that I could.

staff is rude to my special needs child and the food is rank

Ordered a 6 item breakfast, no egg tomatoes instead, waited over half an hour, went back to the counter, a staff member approached me, I explained been waiting half an hour for my breakfast, her reply back we waiting on your bacon and we busy very rude, what it takes 30mins for 1 slice of bacon to be cooked, recieved my food 4 pieces of mushrooms, 1 undercooked,1 piece of anemic sausage, bacon, 2 little jugs containing beans so dry and tomatoes sauce was dry, asked for brown sauce paid 50p extra got BBQ instead, will definitely not go be going back there, if you starving and want to wait over 30 mins for food go for it and especially when it’s not even busy which they make out

I've been coming here awhile now and the food never fails to satisfy me! Friendly staff and good portions when dining in. Would recommend:D

First time coming and love it. It has: Amazing service Lovely food Great prices Will definitely be returning

Paid for a large chips and curry sauce £4 for large chips and £1 for pot of curry sauce. 15 minutes later I get this. Not very impressed and won’t be coming back again. No salt or vinegar either . VERY DISAPPOINTING !

Lady who served me glasses bobbed hair I believe the owner, extremely rude places things on the counter miles away so have to stretch to get them. Asked for just lettuce and Onion as a salad option and was told it comes as a mixed salad. When I ask any other members of staff serving they are more than happy to accommodate my request. I believe she was just being lazy as all she does is asks her staff to do everything. Not a great manager or leader! Quality of Food however is very good.

I have eaten since it first opened and come into town to visit Salt and Vinegar. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. The food is delicious and a good price and I think I've tried the whole menu! Honestly the comments are not justified give it a go you'll love it as much as I do!

Staff are rude in this place avoid and do not go there ever. I certainly will NOT be going back.

Would not recommend ever! Staff rude as hell! Look down on you as a customer and NO customer service skill! Very disappointing cold fish and lumpy stodgy gravy! Portions ridiculously small for the price

This is what i received for a cone of chips that cost £2. I understand everywhere is struggling but this is ridiculous. When asked if this was correct i received a poor attitude back from the owner. Very disappointing will not be eating here again!

Prices are above average, but what do you expect the businesses in west orchards pay high rent rates. The only issue here was that tables and chairs need to be cleaned on a regular basis. I had to move to another table due to the dirty table with grease on it..

After a busy Sunday morning, wanted to have fish and and ships which is one of my favorite meals, went to this shop with my children without seeing the reviews. They’re only one table with three people. I hesitated as i myself is a restauranter, footfall means a lot but we were starving. Ordered regular fish and chips and 8 piece All day breakfast. Fish was very small, tasteless, no salt whatsoever in the fish nor in the batter, chips were too dry and cold, there was curry sauce as they gave me the option if I need mushy peas or curry sauce. I asked for curry sauce. There was no tartare sauce. I thought they must have forgotten because this is the first time ever in 30 years, fish and chips was served without tartare sauce. I asked the lady at the counter if they forgot the sauce, she said- “Nope, you need to pay extra”.WOW… So I had to pay 50p extra and she gave me two small sachets of sauce. This was my worst experience ever. All day breakfast was another disaster. Sausage was such a cheap quality, bacon was so hard we couldn’t even break with teeth, fried bread was very oily. All in all our Sunday brunch was a nightmare in the daylight! I wouldn’t return this place even if this the last place left in the universe. Meal is not worth even a single star but the staff at the counter deserves this as it’s not their fault. Definitely need a change of chef.

Too expesive & Too poor quality. Never go again.

Absolutely classy food and quick service.

I had their special with naan, chips and samosa, it was so tasty. Lifting the humble chip to an art form. Friendly staff and great service topped off a delight of a meal. Google did not show the text of the other reviews but for a fact those low reviews are talking out their "bot bots" or are false.

Absolutely brilliant, food is amazing. The people that served me were so kind and the place was very clean which I find very important
