Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Just ordered chicken biryani and garlic naan bread £7.80. Lots of bland rice, 6 small pieces of chicken, curry sauce ok-ish and naan bread had occasional flecks of tasteless "garlic" but no garlic flavour. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't order again.

Very nice meal. Very friendly staff. Went on a Monday night fairly quiet but had a very relaxed time and was not rushed out of our seat.

don't go there awful service and very rude staff

I love this restaurant. We have been many times and the food is always gorgeous. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Recommended! There is a nice pub nearby also called The Monro.

Gorgeous starters! BBQ chicken was lovely! Nice atmosphere

Been here a few times for various occasions, with husband, family, friends and even kids. I'm quite fussy over food but I have never had a bad meal and have never had reason to fault a thing. Food is amazing. Well priced and definitely for the early bird deals. Ideal if you don't want to hike into town and want fantastic food, good atmosphere and overall good little night out :-D

Where do I start, the food is fabulous, fresh vegetables and yes it's hot, My friend ordered Chicken Fajitas on a sizzling plate and I had the Lasagne which was still piping hot when I got to my last fork-full, the service was exceptional , you are even give a complimentary drink , which has never happened to me before, will definitely be returning in a few weeks

We visited this restaurant on recommendation from a few people. I was delighted to see an open kitchen were you could see your food being cooked in front of you on the fabulous charcoal barbecue. I actually spent more time watching the chef cook the food than talking to my wife LOL. The food was outstanding and the service we got was second to none, I will be returning in the near future and i would recommend it to anyone. 5 STAR.

The new Christakis is every bit as good as the town Centre one, but thank goodness much nearer ( Within walking distance). The portions are huge and the meat cooked to perfection, the house wine is delicious and very affordable. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and children are welcomed with open arms. This is a restaurant to celebrate all family events. Highly recommended

This is the place to go when you want to re capture the memory of THAT holiday in the sun. It was a cold rainy day when I walked in to this restaurant. Inside it was warm, cosy, welcoming, clean (and that was only the porch!) I only had £15 in my purse and looking at the menu in the window knew that I would have enough for a Psiton. (£12.95) I was greeted like a long lost friend and escorted to a table. Having placed my order, I didn't have long to wait before my food arrived. My heart sank as the PLATES arrived:a basket of fresh bread, a large bowl of salad with , enough veg for 10 a day, a dish of tasty rice,and the main dish: an enormous piece of lamb, beautifully cooked. with, among other things, 3 very large potatoes. I am NOT a potato person but oh boy! these were crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. (HOW DO THEY COOK THEM LIKE THIS?) When I had devoured all before me the waiter brought a small plate of mixed fresh fruit. From time to time, various waiters would discreetly enquire if everything was to my satisfaction, and d'you know what? they asked as if they genuinely cared. The moment of truth when my bill came. The weary cynic expected there to be extras added ; the fruit, the veg, but the surprise; my bill was exactly as it should have been: £12.95! I came away just knowing that Christakis is going to be a regular eating place for me and my friends. If you'd like to find the equivalent of the American Cheers bar, but in Liverpool, go pay a visit to Christakis. I promise, you won't be disappointed. Sylviebee

nice food, nice service, just a pity they didn't understand what was included the living social offer i used.

1 of my friend recommended tulay and been there we had lovely time and great food could say 5 star for everything thanks guys we ll defo be back

fantastic suburban restaurant just a few miles from the city, we ate in the restaurant but will be back for barfood (only 2 meals for ten pounds we will give it a go next time we are in the area) The restaurant was decorated beautifully in a kind of modern Gothic purple with lovely set tables complete with charger plates and modern glasses. We where given complimentary marinated olives and bread whilst looking at the menu. I chose the smoked pate and my partner the black pudding. the pate actually came out smoking and my partners black pudding was topped with a "deepfried" egg. This Was a kind of breadcrumbed parcel that exploded with yolk when cut into...Fantastic! The main courses where equally as good My partner having the lamb shank and my self the Wild Seabass. Amazing value at only £14-£15 for both course

Lovely food, reasonable prices and friendly but unobtrusive service. Would recommend getting a table near the BBQ so you can watch your food being cooked amongst the sparks from the coals - think all restaurants should have open kitchens like this so nothing is hidden. Will defo be going back.

I can not recommend the new Christakis restaurant on Smithdown road highly enough, we have just returned home from the most beautiful traditional Greek/Cypriot meal and I felt the need to share this gorgeous find immediately. The food was absolutely delicious and coupled with a warm family welcome and amazing attentive service. The restaurant has only been open a couple of weeks but seems to be popular already and after experiencing it I now understand why and will definitely be back soon. Well done Christakis and thank you for opening our new favourite restaurant.

Delicious food, large portions and friendly staff. A very pleasant restaurant!

Great place, authentic food - some of the dishes on offer you will literally only see on offer in Sri Lanka!! Lamb curry devine and excellent value for money too! This is a hidden gem in Liverpool and as lots of Sri Lankan recipes are tomato based rather than ghee/butter based they are better for you too!! LOVE THIS PLACE!

The Ying Wah had been recommended to me and my family as a value for money, great food, Chinese restaurant, I was so disappointed with the food, everything was bland, the barbecue rib sauce was watered down, the only thing that I can say that had any taste was the egg fried rice, but there wasn't much of it, we ordered a banquet for 2? yet was only given 1 dish of everything, I don't think this is value for money?, I believe when you order for 2 you should be given a meal for 2!. I cannot fault the staff they were nice, but I don't like feeling that I have been ripped off and that was how we felt when we left the restaurant last night, we will not be going back to the Ying Wah and I will definitely not be recommending this restaurant to anyone.
