The best restaurants in Holywells Ipswich East of England

Poor quality I got a chicken burger and the bun tasted so cheap and the chicken burger was so small and tuff felt almost like chewing plastic at some parts. My mum got fish and chips weren't that great the batter was soggy and the atmosphere was dead. Things where just bad won’t be going again missed the old staff who made it fun and lively plus they mixed up order week before I asked for no sauce in burger they thought I asked for apple sauce plus my mum never got her piece of cake and she asked for a cup of tea got a pot of tea very disappointed 😞

For 40 years i have come here and the food and service are always excellent, the breakfast is very tasty too.

Excellent Italian restaurant. We visited on a Friday evening & weren’t disappointed. Delicious spicy Penne Arrabiata - just how it is made in Italy - and a Veggie Lasagne. Perhaps they could cut down a bit on the mozzarella, but I also put in a lot when making it at home ! We were never felt rushed & the service was speedy and friendly. Would definitely return, thoroughly recommended. Mille Grazie

The best Indian restaurant/bistro in Ipswich and the only one I set foot in. You know it's good authentic Indian cuisine when Indian's themselves eat there.

Nice food and very friendly staff

The staff member on the phone made the ordering process difficult & frustrating, not the best start. We agreed a time to collect & when I turned up I still had to wait nearly 20mins when the restaurant was empty.We ordered the chicken Briyani, lamb jalfreze & nan breads. The chicken Briyani was very disappointing only 2 pieces of chicken in the whole dishes, too much rice for the proportion of sauce. Rice just seemed like pilau rice instead of Briyani rice. Nan bread were dry and hard. Lamb jalfreze nice to be fair to the chef. Called up to complain but was told that was standard portions, again the staff member on the phone just made the process difficult and frustrating. Don't recommend guys, plenty of other Indian restaurants in town.

The food here is excellent. And these are the best chips we’ve found in Ipswich

Makes a great cup of tea, 10/10 would visit again.

Went there for my sons 21st, went over and above to make it a lovely experience, my 91 year old mum struggled with items on the menu and they made sure there was something for her to eat. Can't fault them at all, great food, service and management. Thank you

We went here for a someone’s leaving do. I’d never ever go again. There was a ‘buffet’ laid out for us and to be honest it was not the best, serving spoons would have also helped with the 8 bowls of nachos with rock hard cold melted cheese on them. It seemed to be run by a group of teenagers who spent most of their time behind the bar messing about with each other. At one point the guy serving drinks was doing a plank across the bar (had his feet up on one side of the bar and his hands on the other). Whilst impressive, it didn’t fill me with joy with the thought of his dirty shoes up on the bar where they serve from. They let a group of girls take one of the tables we had booked. If this is what passes for service now days, im not interested. Avoid.

Fantastic food, big portions and good value. Breakfast menu is lovely and my dad loved his liver and bacon…..keep going back and all the family keep asking

Looks abandoned... perhaps permanently closed???

Never misses - wish these boys would open a restaurant. The Bagari Lamb absolutely slaps.

Excellent service and great food. Server went out of her way to accommodate as it was the Christmas menu & we only wanted something light. Had a couple of starters and they were delicious.
