The best restaurants serving Other international-cuisines food in Wellingborough East Midlands

We were really looking forward to a fantastic culinary experience having read all of the great reviews. Sadly we were disappointed in many ways. When we arrived the host was a confused as he could not find our booking. We were offered a table upstairs. Upstairs was lacking in atmosphere as not many people up there. It was also a little cold and most importantly the lighting is so bright and also intermittently flickers. The lady host pointed us towards the QR codes on the menus and advised us to order online. This wouldn’t be a problem but the online ordering system is clunky and badly designed. You have to scroll through many pages of sauces etc before you can even find the food offerings. We ordered a variety of dishes to be shared between us so that we could all share and experience the lovely flavours. The app indicated a 40 minute wait. We requested that the drinks could be served asap as we were thirsty. After 25 mins, no drinks so I went downstairs to remind them about the drinks and I noticed some empty tables down stairs and arranged to move away from the flickering lighting. Downstairs was definitely cosier and more atmosphere. After approx an hour total our food started to arrive and we were really ready for it by now. The garlic and chilli prawns are pictured as shell on king prawns came out as rather small and bland prawns not cooked in their shells and were very disappointing for £11.50. The red stripe jerk chicken was definitely the best dish we tried but it was lacking heat. Jerk chicken is normally made with scotch bonnet chilli’s and usually at the top end of the heat scale. This dish was nice but quite bland compared to other Jamaican restaurants. The Jerk fish was mushy and again was not hot enough. All of the dishes were served like warm and everything we tried tasted quite bland. The vibrant colour scheme of the restaurant seemed to emphasise the lack of wow factor in the food. The service was slow and disjointed, our waitress was lovely but very shy and softly spoken. Sadly our evening was a bit of a disaster on every front. Most importantly the ordering system is an absolute shambles and it’s mainly due to a muddled layout. It’s so much better to place your order with a knowledgeable waiter / waitress who can guide you through the menu and make suggestions rather than being directed to use a QR code.
