The best restaurants serving Fusion food in North West

Introduced to Oscar’s by my sister who lives a few miles from Cartmel, we celebrated my wife’s birthday with a family meal there a few days ago. Fabulous food and service and a great atmosphere. The sausages in honey and mustard were amazing. Highly recommended, we’ll certainly be back again.

Was a superb restaurant, I met Anto before he opened , he was in Liverpool looking for a location and found Rodney st .. unfortunately it has had to close , not sure why , it's a shame , I hope they sort out the staff if wages are owed, sad to see a nice place close times are difficult..much bigger restaurants than this have closed there doors. Hope the staff find jobs , Anton I hope you are ok , it's a tuff time ,

Paid for parking nearby to go here. To then walk to here to see they had decided to close early(its 8pm and says open till 10pm) really annoying that a business cant be bothered to update their business hours!

Best Indian restaurant in Preston. Food tastes and looks fantastic and always served with a smile. Would highly recommend for any occasion.

Meat was very dry curry sauces were incredibly bland and about as spicy as a carrot . The young lad behind the counter did a good job but the food was rubbish

One of the best fried breakfasts I've ever had, highly recommend!!!! It set us up perfectly for a long hike, exactly what we needed : )

Excellent food, fresh, home cooked high quality food

Lovely place, went there a few times and the food never disappointed. Nice staff and environment

We always come here when we come to the Lake District. We Came here for my birthday and couldn’t fault it. The food is excellent. Especially the dips with popadoms our favourite.

Wouldn’t bother going again. The service was shocking. There is a big banner outside which states “vegan menu now available” except when we walked in and asked we were looked at as of we’d just asked for a leprechaun to serve our food. Seen as it is marketed as a “health bar” you would expect vegan options but we decided to order anyway. I got a falafel wrap which granted was good quality and my partner ordered a jacket potato with no cheese or butter. My Dad ordered a full English and Grandad a chicken wrap. The person taking orders who I believe to be the owner was unable to listen to the full order and had to take each food item individually rather than as a list, making us feel like an inconvenience. The food took an age to arrive and when it did they were all served at different times and the jacket potato came with cheese and butter on despite it being said multiple times if we could have it without. The staff were apologetic enough but then we had to wait whilst a new jacket potato arrived by which time everyone else had finished their meals. This is in addition to cutlery on the tables being dirty and us having to get up to replace them ourselves with no apology given. It is a shame but the place seems like somewhere that is being run with staff with no experience of hospitality and no care for their customers.

My sister's had her wedding at Vermilion back in June of 2022. Take note that the entrance going into this place is quite narrow compared to other venues. The inside décor is very impressive The table setting was brilliant as I could easily manoeuvre about and around the room, nor did I feel cramped in. The food was delicious. The waiting staff were excellent, better than the "organisers"... The organiser (some short Asian/Pakistani woman) really let the side down... Here's the thing: I asked for steps to be put out on both sides of the stage... Yet, she only managed to have one step put out for the groom's family. And, as we (the bride's family) went up on stage we had to (embarrassingly) wait for a step to be put out for us in order for us to get on to the stage!..This slip up shouldn't have happened as I had already asked ''the organiser'' about the steps an 1 hour beforehand yet (purposely) she just failed at such a simple request.. I reckon she didn't like the fact that my sister had a walkway (set up for her entrance) leading to the stage.. The organiser claimed she wasn't aware of a walkway. It seemed to have taken by surprise. She didn't look happy about it being there for the few hours it was there for. As if she'd never seen one in her life! 😆 However, one of her colleagues (some tall man with a foreign accent) did a much better job at answering our requests and helping us out on the day. Had it not been for him and the others, you would have easily got 2 or 3 stars rather than 4. The majority of the staff we interacted with were positive, happy, approachable, and professional, aside from one or two... The venue also has a decent size prayer room, a bit bigger than that of many of the other places I have visited.

excelente cuarto de pollo cocido en una salsa de tomates, ajíes y cebolla, los condimentos riquísimos y aromáticos. Para acompañar pedí patatas al vapor.

Very comfortable great decor, lovely atmosphere, food was good but as per usual lakes prices which were high, staff were very friendly

We visited the restaurant because we wanted the Tantanmen Ramen we are both very familiar with and is our meal of choice but unfortunately when it arrived it bore absolutely no resemblance taste wise to what we were used to in various other branches of Wagamama, as well as the one we were in. The stock used for the dish was tasteless and under-seasoned and when explaining to the waitress why we were returning it I made it very clear the stock was to blame and no amount of the kitchen staff adding the likes of salt to it was going to make it better but we would let the dish be remade. When the meal did come back to the table it was Luke warm and all that had been done to add a taste/flavor to it was the addition of enough chilli sauce to make this chilli lover cough, and enough of some kind of salty flavoring to strip the roof off of a persons mouth. It was inedible and very obvious nothing had been done to add genuine flavor to the base stock and they had done what I’d suspected they might do - disguise the flavorless stock with salt (and chilli). After speaking to the waiter we declined the meal and agreed to speak to the Manager even though it wasn’t necessary - we just wanted to pay for the food we had eaten and for the Ramen to be removed from the bill. And this was when everything changed because it was very obvious the ‘Manager’ took our unhappiness with the Ramen as a personal affront and rather than take a cue from us and put it down to an unfortunate experience; the tasteless, then blow your head off/acrid salty Ramen was our fault because we didn’t know how it was supposed to taste as his 2 head chefs had told him the Ramen was properly cooked. When the chefs were brought into the conversation I asked if he really did think the chefs could be objective about a meal they’d perhaps cooked? His reply was yes, they were, and when I asked were they the 2 chefs who’d earlier had a shouting match in the kitchen he said, ‘I didn’t observe that’. Yet we’d all heard it as had the waitress who was sitting at a table close to the kitchen refilling condiment bottles - she turned around to see what was going on After politely bringing the discussion with the ‘Manager’ to a close when he implied we should be grateful the cost of the Ramen had been removed from the bill as the head chefs said it was perfectly cooked, I also felt he was perhaps thinking we wanted more than that and we were perhaps a pair of chancers. It was something he said about - but you’ll still have to pay for the starters and your drinks, and this was when I told him that every time he spoke he was making the situation worse and that at no stage had we wanted anything more than the Ramen to be removed from the bill. Interestingly enough the ‘Manager’ was the person who’d taken our order and when I took a sip of my already poured before reaching the table sparkling water, I discovered it was a diet sprite instead. The waiter who I then asked to confirm if I had perhaps ordered the wrong drink checked and said, no mistake, you ordered sparkling water, and he very obviously rolled his eyes when telling me. I was asked if I’d like to change the drink but as a gesture of goodwill, mistakes happen, I kept the sprite. And our starters? They were very good. But I’m not sure what was happening at another table who also returned a meal after we did. Unfortunately the ‘Manager’ just couldn’t recognise a customer who wanted absolutely no fuss at all made about having to return their meal, and could only ‘manage’ the situation by making it worse. All in all, apart from the starters, it was a very poor and disappointing show.

Pedido a través de Deliveroo y vino con mis patatas fritas que faltan en una de mis comidas en bandeja. ¡No reembolsarían las fichas ni volverían a entregarlas! Evitaría este lugar a toda costa y haré que todos los lugareños sean conscientes de esto publicando en los medios sociales locales, en barbecho, en rusholme y alrededores para asegurarme de que pierden clientes. Literalmente han sido robados. Servicio vergonzoso
