Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Used Heswall Tandoori for years, we have tried others now and again but always gone back to Ali's, Chicken Tikka Pasanda is my wife's favorite, while I go for something a bit hotter maybe Chicken Tikka Biriany with Madras curry ( it's a man thing )

I am with the first comment , i used to eat at L'Alouette so it is a welcome addition to Woolton a fine quality place to dine, enjoyed a lovely evening a couple of weeks ago, fab food, great service, going again this Sunday . mmmm

Visited 28 Sept 2011.Nice surroundings, chickenless and very sweet more like a sugary drink - chicken & sweetcorn soup. Hot and sour soup smelled like a farm yard. Chips freezing cold . Fresh food coming out of the kitchen was cold as soon as it was put on display.Wait for it....Plates to eat the food off were chipped in many places. Definitely won't be going back

I went there for the first time tonight, my expectations were quite high as I've heard good things about it from a few people. The décor is modern, stylish and comfortable and the Maître d was very welcoming when we entered the restaurant. The food was really fantastic, i've eaten Indian food in many restaurant in many countries and this was some of the best I can remember. The Bangladeshi specials are excellent., rich, spicy, flavoursome and delicious. The waiters were attentive and friendly and this added to the overall atmosphere. I will defiantly be going back next week and will probably go on Sunday as they have a £9.95 4 course banquet. Well worth a visit, even is it is a bit out of the way.

We visited the Ambuja for the first time even though we only live around the corner. We will now visit regularly. We chose the Tuesday night Banquet and it was excellent. The quality of the food and the presentation was superb. we will definitely recommend.

I have been coming to the excellent Taj Mahal for 15 years and have never been let down. Both my Wife and daughter are curry lovers- they adore their Taj, especially on a Friday evening! The staff are all brilliant, very friendly and the food is the best around. I have been all over the UK and tasted some lovely curries but the Taj is definitely my favourite! And it is good value too! Simply the best!

Wonderful place ... the fish & chips in Liverpool

We were in the area for one night 24/9 and this was recommended to us by our b&b host. We arrived five minutes before they stopped serving but no problem. The service was excellent and the food sublime. The restaurant had a lovely ambience, and the proprietors were visible, attentive and totally focused on your satisfaction, with the staff personable and efficient. Very highly recommended.

We found Bacchus after looking on the website, we where so excited we knew Diamond from his old restaurant .We had a lovely evening and a wonderful welcome from Diamond and his staff cant wait to return food excellent as always was best wishes Vivienne and mike

Went for a family 21st last night - the food was incredibly poor quality -i didn't think it possible to get Nachos so wrong! Burgers were served with a slice of processed cheese and on fast food style buns! potato mash was described as inedible by a member of our group, while the rest of us were served oven chips! Surfers-reduce your menu size and concentrate on getting things didn't, not doing everything.

Recently ate here with my family and the first thing that stood out for us was the choice of food and price. The next thing was how friendly the staff were to us. The food is fantastic, the vegetarians in our family were well catered for and roast dinner was equally excellent too. Definitely worth stopping by if you looking for top quality food!

A midweek birthday celebration was made all the more special by the welcoming and friendly service, varied choice of starters and mains. Really loved the crisp salads and oh the chips, to die for. Looking forward to returning very soon. Lindylou

Me and my partner went for tea here on Monday and i was stunned at how awful the food was the service was terrible the waiter had no manners and could hardly speak English and the food was disgusting the soup was watery, hardly any meals out we didn't eat our £10.95 worth each and was kicking ourselves that we chose to eat there and felt sick when i had to pay £30.00. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone it is the worst Chinese we have ever had.

I was introduced to Zen about 4 years ago now and fell in love with the place,the food is the best chinese cuisine I have had anywhere in Liverpool and beyond.The warm friendly welcome from the staff makes you feel comfortable and the service is excellent I always recomment Zen to people and make it the venue for family get togethers whether it be a birthday or just an excuse to eat fabulous food.

Great food and friendly staff ,what more can you want from a night out. They have music nights at the weekends. The prices are very good and an interesting menu.

Myself and my girlfriend went here for dinner recently with high hopes as it had been recommended by a number of different friends. All I can say is that we either got it on a bad night or it has gone downhill since our friends went. We were sat upstairs and my seat was in a part of the restaurant that was a thoroughfare for the waiting staff and anyone going to the toilet. We asked to be moved but all the other tables were booked. Perhaps it was a mistake to get one of the set menus as it was basically Chinese food. We've eaten in a number of Thai restaurants and it simply wasn't Thai cooking - no discernible coconut, lemon grass or chilli or any of the aromatic spices that characterize Thai food. It was competent but hardly inspired and the type of food that you could get in any half-decent chinese, although for a lot less than this restaurant would charge you. The service was polite but not particularly friendly and the food was served very quickly making you feel that you were on something of a conveyor belt. Having had 3 courses and a bottle of wine, we were in and out in 1hr 10mins £85 lighter and feeling a bit cheated.

I had heard good reports of the Crown of India so I thought I would give it a go. For a first time customer I was very unimpressed. I ordered a takeaway and was told it would be ready for 8.15pm. I duly arrived on time but had to wait until 8.45pm!!! There is a bar there and a nice waiting area so you would have thought that I would have been offered a drink whilst I waited, but no! Also the complimentary chicken wings were completely raw!!! My main mean (Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi) was ok in fairness, but I would need alot of convincing to return again!!

Nothing too much trouble for the chef or the very courteous and attentive staff. The food is of a consistently high standard with an exceptionally varied menu - everything is very competitively priced and Le Boulevard has, of recent times, been credited with various awards for it's endeavours. Highly recommended - give it a try - you will not be disappointed.
