Reviews in Widnes

Having no shortage of Indian restaurants , Widnes has several good ones , one in particular has topped our chart with flying colours. This is Vatikka on Widnes road , Widnes , Cheshire .The food is by far the finest I've tasted and the service is faultless. Helpful , friendly and accommodating . This has become a regular place that we dine out at . We would highly recommend it . We have taken several friend there and they have also recommended their friends . Vatikka also does a tapas style starter menu along side their regular menu . Mains are out of this world . English meals are available also . You won't be disappointed .

Best pizza around for miles staff are so lovely.

Best Indian in Widnes by miles. Great service, great food and a very warm welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This Vatikka restaurant is excellent. The food is incredible. I could not say anything wrong about this place. I would recommend that anyone who likes a good Indian, should definitely try it. The service was great and they all have a good sence of humour. I did not feel rushed and the setting added to the good food. I will be going back and just remember, turn up with a good apetite as the portions are huge.

Since the relaunch of the Ring O Bells after the refurbishment I have eaten there on a number of occasions. A number of us went for Sunday lunch and would highly recommend both the food and the service. A la carte menu, choice excellent, food quality fabulous, would highly recommend. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic venue with fabulous food and service on our doorstep. give it a go, you will not be disappointed!

I have to say it is very rare i will go to the extreme of taking time out to leave reviews about places we have eaten but really felt the need to do this after visiting Vatikka, Indian is my favourite food and since moving to Widnes five years ago have tried a few but none had ticked all the boxes, however after dining in Vatikka one Saturday evening i commented to my husband "we found the one". we ordered our first delivery this weekend and it was quite simply divine so much so i didn't leave any for breakfast the next morning, soooooo delighted we have found our favourite Indian here in Widnes and don't feel the need to drive out of town anymore. well done Vatikka.xx

wait 2 hours for food to come then its cold and dried up will never order again from here

We rang the Saffron and booked, we arrived and were not seated, merely scowled at, the place was empty aside from people in the bar waiting for the rest of their large, well 6, party. It was obvious they were the sole focus of the 2 staff. The staff were surly and hostile, they finally seated us, eventually brought our drinks and took our order, after an age brought the so-so food, the Stone Grill is a rip-off gimmick btw, then left the plates et al on our table til we eventually had to go and seek them out to request our bill. When I eventually found the staff they were sat on their arses playing with their phones, and these weren't 'kids' they were oldish guys who should know better! We never even managed to get a second drink as they just left us to our own devices. To sum up: the worst service I have ever experienced, never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in our life, so no tip for these lacklustre chaps! We have never had a worse dining experience! So avoid, unless you are a masochist, the place may look pretty but all that glisters is most definitely NOT gold and we shan't be back!

A very warm welcome from the minute you enter. Excellent service from a very attentive and professional staff. Food simply the best with lovely subtle flavours in all the dishes. Go and enjoy.

Very bad restaurant, it was like bad school dinners with loud music and cheap decor waste of money!

Visit the restaurant quite often, lovely feeling to the place. Family run restaurant all the staff are lovely. Food is excellent and the service is excellent. I have been in the restaurant when it has been full and still didn't have a long wait for the food. The mix meze hot and cold is one of my favourites:D Entertainment, Service and Food A+++++

This is an excellent restaurant and well worth visiting. The food was fantastic and we have eaten in hundreds of Indian restaurants. The staff were a joy. They were extremely welcoming and very friendly. They provided comfortable and elegant surrounding and speedy service. There is nothing negative about Vatikka and we are going again tonight. Go, you won't be disappointed!

I recently visited Efe's widnes for my friends birthday celebrations, we were not having a good night until we came to Efe's. When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by staff and enjoyed the atmosphere. We also enjoyed the cocktails that where on offer when speaking to the member of staff behind the bar (a cheerful gentleman called Eddie) and he heard that it was our friends birthday he brought out a piece of cake with a candle in. This made my friends night and her birthday, many thanks

efes was lovely we went the 9th june 2011 for my birthday, 14 courses £12.50! amazing food great staff and even free shots for us and cake for my son. lovely

Went for first time last night. Superb meal for £9.99 (five course special) The pakoras were great and unlike some Indians I could mention they did not swamp the flavours with chilli. Will be going back once a month for sure and have already taken away take away menu for nights when we can't get there ;-) Very nice indeed. John

Went to Vattika for a birthday meal with the family, there was 10 of us and we arrived without booking a table. The service was brilliant, really polite and friendly. Some went for the £9.95 five course early bird menu which was such good value for money, the quality and amount of delicious well prepared food was fantastic. Others chose the Indian tapas which was lovely and I'm going to get that on my next visit. Everything was lovely and i can easily say it is the nicest Indian meal I've had, far better value than Desi (the other Indian in Widnes). Great value for money, gorgeous food, drinks are reasonably priced, great atmosphere, you really will enjoy xxx

We would definitely recommend Vatikka.The quality of food is great and the staff are very friendly too. We have very quickly developed an affinity to Vatikka as the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous.Tapas is a unique twist and I would urge anyone who likes Indian food to give it a try

I have visited the Saffron many times and my husband held is 40th birthday there a few years ago, I can honestly say nothing negative about the restaurant. The food is fantastic, the waiters are friendly, lovely decor and loos!! The owners are very welcoming and accommodating. Should you be thinking of a large party for a special occasion they will assist in anyway they can to make the evening extra special. I have no hesitation in recommending the Saffron, you will not be disappointed!!
