Great mains, pity about the chips
Came for lunch with my sister. We loved our Thai-style mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a vegetarian restaurant.
But the service was below average and the chips were too terrible to finish.
When we arrived at 1.40, we had to wait 20 minutes while they got our table ready. OK, so we didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was only half full. There was no reason to make us wait at all.
We ordered the chips as a side dish and they looked delicious. But, when we tasted them, they were overcooked and swimming in oil so we left most of them. We expected a lot more for $10!
When the waiter asked if everything was ok, we said we really didn't like the chips and he said 'That's funny, I love them' and that was it. He didn't offer us anything else or take them off our bill. Also, when we didn't leave a tip, he looked annoyed.
I was really excited about visiting Vega, and the mains were just fantastic, but the rest of the experience was really disappointing.

If you wish to explore the traditional taste of Turkey, this restaurant is a great choice. It’s a truly family friendly place, and the staff are very knowledgeable.
There was a wide variety of dishes, and the ingredients were fresh too. We really enjoyed the day with our friends. However, the car parking area was quite busy during our visit. Other than that, I can honestly say it’s one of the best places to visit.
I’ll definitely come again with my friends and family to enjoy more time there. The pricing is also very reasonable. 10/10☺️
Last week I went with my friend to Pizza Italia in the city centre ,and I was plesantly impressed abaut the promt and friendly service.The relaxing atmosphere create a calming vibe and the traditionale yet modern decor delights your eyes while you savor the delicious dishes. Although we were very late,the waitress was friendly and recomandet the most delicious pizza with seefood.If we are arrived,I noticed that is a very rustic and authentic italian restaurant of 5 stars.However the pizza was delightful,tasty,spicey and with fresh vegetables. Even though I can't complain abaut the staff and ambience,and the prices are very expensive...they make extra charge. Be carreful!All in all was a fantastic experience.I stil recommend a visit!
If you love authentic Italian pizza, you must check out the pizza hut. The restaurant is tiny, but it has a great vibe. The pizza tastes great, and the food arrived quickly. The staff were extremely charming. There's a massive choice of toppings. I can honestly say that the mushroom pepperoni pizza was very tasty. The desserts were delicious. Great value for money. I would Highly recommend.

Delicious food, but poor service
I went to the AMA restaurant with my friends yesterday. It’s Kurdish restaurant. I had never been there before. It’s located in a crowded area of Smethwick, but we could find parking easily. Although the food was delicious, the service was poor and slow.
In addition, the portions were generous, but the presentation was underwhelming. The AMA restaurant is friendlier than the previous one that I visited. Even though it is located in a noisy area, I will go there for dinner in the future, because the food is suitable for my palate.
If you want to try authentic Indian food, The Spice Garden is a great choice. The interior was elegant, and the tables were neatly arranged. The staff were attentive and served the dishes with care. Although the restaurant was noisy because it was popular, the food was absolutely worth it. Each dish was rich in flavour and beautifully spiced. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken and garlic naan. I would highly recommend this restaurant for its excellent food and friendly service.
YES for the place, but NO for the food
I heard about new sushi restaurant in town, and as a big fan of sushi, I was really excited to visit. I went there with my boyfriend, and we ordered two plates from the main menu and three from the conveyor trays. The ambience and service were so nice. But unfortunately, when we tried the food, we were disappointing. The portions were very small, the quality was below the average, and the taste was nothing special. Overall, it was a bad experience, and i wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
In this place, you can find all organic things. In the first floor, you find plants to buy, especially beautiful orchids, and other plants for decorating your home. Same you can buy clay crafts made by hand, and other amazing and beautiful things. On second plane, there are several typical restaurants, with delicious dishes about our culture, from dishes of coast like fish and coconut rice, until Boyacá stew, that it is a dish from inside of country. This place has taken part in competitions with other restaurant places, and it has won. So, I recommended you visit to gallery of Perseverancia, and have a good time.

Bread is delicious, but the desserts leave much to be desired
My friend and I went to this bakery because it looked beautiful, clean, and inviting. And indeed, the bakery has all these qualities. The place is spacious and tidy, and the staff serve you really well — they smile and treat you with patience and kindness.
We tried three different slices of bread, and they were delicious. The bread was fresh and soft. Then, we decided to taste one dessert: a cheesecake. It looked delicious — actually, it’s my favorite dessert.
Everything was going well until we tasted it. Unfortunately, the cheesecake had a strange flavor. It was supposed to taste like coffee, but it didn’t taste like coffee at all. We were a little disappointed.
Overall, this bakery is delicious and definitely worth visiting. I recommend it, although there are just a few small things they could improve.
It's amazing when you find a cheap and great restaurant
My girlfriend and i were trying to find a good place to eat, but we were in the mood to find something new, so we stopped at the first restaurant that look nice. For our surprise the spot was quite formal and perfect for a date, and the most important, they served great steaks, we ordered chistorra as side order and medium well rib eyes. The bill was affordable, the service was warm and fast and the beverages were really good.
