Starters and desserts were ok! Mains decidedly average, needed to be hotter and were the broccoli and cauliflower frozen? Tables were sticky and although the staff are pleasant not a place for a second visit.

I called here at the newly refurbished bar with a friend for a drink on Sunday night. Lovely decor and comfortable. Friendly staff. The sweet potato fries are definitely worth having, delicious .
Thank you xx 😊

Ordered Kebabs that was delivered minus the salad. The girl on the phone was very apologetic and nice but we had waited an hour for the food and didn’t want to wait another hour for a replacement meal - shame because the donner meat and tandoori chicken was nice. And incidentally it was only a month ago another delivery arrived minus the donner meat. I know mistakes can be made but twice in a month ? And these kebabs are not the cheapest - personally I’ll now look for a more reliable take away.
Never been to sambuca before and I never really wanted too as I know it's a chain and the food is likely all frozen, mass produced, and thrown into a microwave, we called in because my daughter was off school that day and we had a trip into ikea, ridiculous queues for the restaurant so we left, she's pasta mad and sambuca having the afternoon specials on, decided on giving it a go, gut instinct told me not to bother, but my daughter ruled the roost on this occasion, 3 courses for just under a tenner, Sat down and ordered some drinks, my full fat coke was flat, great start,
Starter: Potato skins- thick, greasy, with a side of awful garlic mayo, terrible,
Main: arrabbiata- a very weak thin sauce, lumps of cherry tomatoes and sliced uncooked green chillies mixed into the dish, over done tagliatelle, my word, this truly was the worst Italian meal I think I have ever had,
My wife had the lasagne, you know it's been in the microwave when it comes to the table in a silly little white dish thats hotter than the sun and its overflowing with bubbling cheese and tomato sauce, ridiculous, my daughter had the spaghetti bolognese and to be fair, this wasn't bad whatsoever, the specials come with an ice cream at the end, just plonked onto the table, no choice on flavours, obviously only vanilla available, (2 scoops) covered in a strawberry syrup that i didn't ask for, couldn't wait to leave, a truly disappointing experience, hand on heart i will never return to this chain again.
Disgusting. Spent nearly £80 on food which we were going to eat for our Xmas dinner tomorrow. All 4 dishes are swimming in oil. Ruined. Have taken photos but these don't convey the awful taste of oil! When I rang the takeaway to complain, the owner "Ahmed" said it was Just Eat's problem and hung up on me. Just Eat said it was the restaurant's problem as they produced the food. Am now going through my bank to get a charge back.
Called in for quick lunch, despite bieng nearly empty service was dreadful, tables not clean, staff were too busy chatting about themselves to bother with customers !
Had a toastie which was very average and they forgot my coffee!
Shame as its a very cool space which could be a great venue.
Amazing food, wonderful service, great atmosphere, a real wonderful experience. 5 tapas dishes for £30 and the portions are huge! Will definitely return and recommend a visit to anyone.
Food came in drips and drabs as they were busy and some of our order was missing and they were very unpleasant and we left early without finishing our food as we waited over one and half hours for total food order.
