Sinley in Cookstown

We travel a lot and have eaten from many take aways. We went in this evening for our tea and ordered chicken curry with added cashew nuts and water chestnuts asked that the sauce to be thick and extra spicy. We were told that the sauce was not thin but can't be thickened ( have had this from others no problem) and honey chilli chicken also asked for thick sauce. Neither dish came with anything close to thick sauce! Not even the consistency of tomato soup. More like runny gravy. Curry had no cashew nuts either. Waste of money. Won't be back. Edit: I did phone several times and no answer.

Quite average food....four different mains and nothing really special about any of them.....but was very busy 🤷

Order made on line went to collect order brought to counter forgot that orders under £30 have to be paid in cash had no cash with me only debit card counter person quoted their £30 policy but said she would take card this time got her machine and then said it was rebooting did not know how long told me to go to atm and get cash could be quicker 1 mile each way journey cancelled order and left never to return to that business again

Ordered quite a large order from the Sinley as I was having a party and buying individual dishes. Rung the order in and was quite hesitant as I thought they will definitely get this wrong. Much to my delight, order was perfect. Food was hot and absolutely delicious. The person on the phone seemed quite young but they obviously done a great job not to mention the cooks.

Friendly staff, great price and if you have any allergies this is the best Chinese, got gluten free smoked chicken and salt chilli chicken ( dry), all curry is gluten free and can make fried rice gf on request. The chef came out and spoke to me about washing equipment, separate fryers etc

Found Sinley on Find me gluten free and I was not disappointed. Separate gluten free menu. Owner very knowledgeable about coeliac disease and very friendly counter staff. We tried gf beef curry, gf salt and chilli chicken and gf honey chilli chicken. All 3 dishes were delicious. We drove from Newtownabbey to Cookstown worth every mile. We will definitely be regulars at Sinley. It's really difficult to get a tasty gluten free chinese meal and Sinley was outstanding delicious food and so safe for Coeliacs. I'm very sensitive and had zero reaction. Love love love sinleys

Can't imagine what they could have done better

The Sinley takeout is the only Chinese that has a gluten free menu that I can find, offering a comprehensive one at that. They meticulously prepare the food in a separate area with clean utensils, ensuring no issues with celiac disease. We've been going there every Friday night since I was diagnosed 7 years ago. The care they put into the gluten-free meals reflects the quality of all their dishes. It's always bustling, but the food is consistently excellent, I highly recommend it.

The best local option I have found for gluten free food by far. Food was ready upon arrival for pickup, along with a warm welcome from the staff and owner. The food was amazing and the beef curry is the best I've had anywhere. They took great care to make sure the food was prepared properly and even double wrapped the food to keep it warm until I arrived home. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is celiac or otherwise.

Best Chinese about 👌 Tastiest food & the best staff 👌

I cant thank the sinley team enough, from ordering for a large party to collection they were fantastic 👌 The food also was amazing, it really was loved by all at the party, so much so loads had taken it home for later. I highly recommend sinley for large orders for brilliant service to even better food that was all gluten free so my dietary visitor's could eat with content. thank you team sinley for making a hectic day feel so much lighter

Best quality of ingredients used to create great tasting dishes.

Hands down the best Chinese I’ve been too!! Very flavoursome and just so tasty!! Worth the waiting and that’s the kind of Chinese I want to eat from, one that is busy!!! Staff are so pleasant and there’s a reason they have won best Chinese several times!!!

Ordered this evening using the app, food was scheduled to arrive by 6.30pm. (40 minutes) By 7.20 pm still nothing delivered, no answer on phones or social media. So drove into town, stood for 15 minutes at the counter waiting to be acknowledged. Got brushed off twice by staff running about serving people who were grumbling about standing at the counter for over an hour also. My wife texted me at 7.35pm to say it arrived, (still no counter staff spoke to me) Got home, few dishes are missing! But worst of all its stone cold. This is not the first time either, but I'll not be back.

i went to this Chinese thinking it was a nice play this was so true i got spring roles that was beautiful ands so much flavour the only thing wrong was the clumpy rice the curry was immaculate will definitely come back just not for rice xx

Food is always delicious,but delivery service is a complete joke. Takes 2 hours to deliver to other end of the town which is 5 minutes away in a car. I understand it can be very busy on the weekends but this needs sorted out. Maybe get more delivery drivers?

Can never understand how this place gets all the accolades and awards. It’s very average at best, not even the 2nd best Chinese in Cookstown Satay or sha tay as they call it was one of the worst sauces I’ve ever tasted - gloopy like jelly

Best Chinese in Cookstown. Have the nicest gravy. Do a great range of healthy options. Thai red curry my favourite in the healthy option.

Vey good Chinese and lovely food with welcoming staff but it appears the phone number online needs updated.

Tasteless, bland & an insult to Chinese food!

Usually really good food from here. Got it last nite the curry tasted like there was a lot of pepper in it. We also got 2 big long hairs in food so after that it went to bin wont be in a hurry back

Best Chinese takeaway I’ve had, I travel all over and live in hotels eating takeaways. This was by far the tastiest Chinese I’ve had, I wasn’t sure what to order as couldn’t see my go to on the menu. The lady behind the counter asked what food I liked (I am very fussy) and recommended 2 chicken dishes for me. She did well! Would definitely recommend and Thankyou for your recommendations!

food was really good but it took so long to arrive it was really annoying

Was the best getting worse with delivery times. Doesn't take 2hrs to deliver seriously. No fault with food but no point having an online service and after its paid saying 2hrs till delivery?

Got beef curry..meat was like leather not even cooked..not a decent chinese in cookstown,they are all poor

I ordered the GF honey chilli chicken. It was delicious. And I didn’t experience the usual regret 10mins after eating a takeaway. I would recommend Sinley to anyone and everyone!

One of the best Chineses in town. Great selection of delicious meals on the menu. Good value for money with a delivery service.

the food was disgusting🤮 I will never go back

Best Chinese I've had in a long time! Honey chilli chicken was delicious, can't wait to try something different next time.. brilliant menu too, plenty to choose from..will definitely be back!

I like the food but hate delivery service, it took nearly 2 hours to deliver it when I was quoted 45min. You can go to Belfast and back in that time 🤦‍♀️

Fantastic food and really good value, can't fault them.

Really friendly staff but most important really delicious food

Shocking bad, food was freezing cold, order was wrong not for the 1st time either and delivery seems to take over a hour anytime you order. It's by far the worst Chinese I've ever had. Avoid!!!

Waited 2 hours for a delivery only to ring and find out my order hadn't actually been taken and made it sound like it was my fault that it wasn't. Never would happen at Yaus.

The food alone from this place should be enough to shut it down fs. Never had worse customer service or food as disgusting as that. Rice was like clumpy rocks, curry tasted like washing powder. Literally bogging 👎🏽 Don’t recommend

Food wasnt nice the tub of curry looked like jelly it was freezing especialy for the price i paid

Friendly, quick service and extremely tasty food!

Great food when cooked by the right people. Still five stars because if there ever is anything wrong with the food they're more than willing to redo the order which I think makes them amazing. Great people that work there too!

Love the food, my favourite take away! Got my order wrong couple times, but still the best in Cookstown! The only fault is delivery, it takes up to 2 hours to get the food 🙈

Sinley provided us with an amazing spread for a recent function. Great value for money and team sinley went above and beyond to ensure everything was right for us.

How on earth did they win an award, the food I got was disgusting poor quality and extremely expensive. 😩

I have been eating here for +30 yrs. Great family takeaway. Only wish the restaurant would reopen

Beautiful food will be back again shortly , Lovely

an amazing family ran chinese takeaway, the best about. there are so many healthy options, including gluten free & vegetarian ones! the food is delicious & i wouldn’t go anywhere else for chinese food. i highly recommend them :D - the best in northern ireland, & they have an award to prove it ;)

Lovely food and a good size menu and good price

Really really good customer service best chef in the town and a great delivery driver.

Regular customer but consecutive bad experiences recently. Waited in the cold one and a quarter hours for a collection and never received a delivery next time. Impossible to complain as the phone appears to be switched off. Will go elsewhere in future.

Fantastic as always, great selection of gluten free food and always very tasty.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced. 2 and half hours for delivery. Sinley turned off their phones as they were too busy. Even though I had already paid for my order online I could not cancel as they wasn't answering calls. Absolute disgrace. And to out the nail in the coffin the order was wrong. And guess what couldn't ring to tell them. Diabolical!!!!!

Well run Chinese with a good healthy options menu

Great food healthy options available

Great Food but the don’t always answer the phone!!!

Lovely Chinese at a very good price and portions are big enough for 2 people

Chips are ALWAYS re-heated, taste like cardboard, are they yesterdays chips? Chicken is DRY.

Normally good but 2nite it was off form (big time)

Food is ok but everytime i go here they mess up my order

Good food good price all-round good! The only Chinese in town that works with the just eat app

Terrible disgusting tub of so called chicken curry , chips were over fried, spring rolls had nothing in them but beansprouts and the price they charge for this rubbish. This is got to be the worst Chinese food in Cookstown, I wouldn't eat out of here again if it was for free DISGUSTING.

Food is great, good selection and the do a lower fat selection for all you slimming World friendly people

Excellent range of Gluten free options a must with 3 coeliacs in the family

Best Chicken fried rice in Tyrone

Really good food to carry out with healthy eating and friendly service

Do not leave Cookstown before checking out Sinley- Unmissable
