Reviews in Aigburth

Hi I have wrote two letters to this restaurant and have not heard a thing. I have also rang twice and asked whether the manager would ring me back but to no avail. I had a meal there about 4 months ago , they had a leak whilst we were there, o.k these things happen but we had to sit there whilst plummers tried to sort the problem out. We had to listen to him drilling full belt, we were expected to carry on and enjoy our meal personally i found it really stressful, no one from management came to our table, we had to ask what was going on, other people were also not happy. It's a shame as the food was quite nice just very poor management. I just think it is so rude not to answer my calls and reply to my letters. I am not after a freebie just would of been nice to been acknowledged. Stick With the Mexican Tavern for overall good food and service cheers joe

Just visited the Gulshan for my partners birthday as a special treat and have to say that after expecting something fantastic I found it decidedly average and did not enjoy the experience at all. We travelled quite a long way and to say we were very disappointed is an understatement. We eat out very regularly at Indian restaurants and will not be visiting this one again. Pricey as well.

Food was lovely, but had really bad reaction to a Prawn Korma, not allergic to prawns as i eat them on a regular basis, so no idea what caused it.

We have dined at this Restaurant nearly every other week since it opened, the food is fantastic, the staff are brilliant and very friendly. The Elif is very good value for money. It you haven't tried it WHY NOT!!

I was not impressed. The portions were extremely small and the starters overpriced. Tables too close together and we had to remind them 4 times to bring our drinks.

Without a doubt one of the poorest dining experiences i have ever experienced. Food mediocre,staff poor and generally the biggest waste of money ever. Nothing authentic about the place!

Had a great night,food excellent,staff very friendly,would definitely recommend to anyone who likes good food,thanks.

Great restaurant!! Came a couple of days ago, beautiful sunny day, absolutely lovely Spanish staff. I got a chance to practice my Spanish as well. We really loved the food. Tasted so delicious, meatballs better than marantos. Unfortunately one criticism,the hostess was rude and abrupt and judging by the previous posts, it seems shes a bit of a deterrent to this place. However, we're still going to come back!!!!!!

this is seriously good,staff attentive,relaxed atmosphere,tables close together,(take note Mr-Winner).

I visited Esteban recently and had a brilliant time, the food was excellent, the staff very friendly (especially the charismatic Adam behind the bar). I would definitely recommend this place to friends and will almost certainly be back! Only small criticism, the hostess lady could probably do with smiling, it wouldn't kill her! (maybe she was having a bad day)

Went to the Gulshan on Friday 20th March2009, waited a long time for the starters, they were cold when they arrived. Service was awful, the food was ok, but only just. This was our 1st and last visit to the Gulshan.

Absolutely love Moon & Pea, Been on numerous occasions for breakfast and lunch, such a relaxed atmosphere, quirky books and pictures on the wall, great music and some lovely comfy couches to relax with coffee, or a pimped up hot chocolate!! The only downfall is it gets quite busy and can be cramped and sometimes struggle for a seat as nobody wants to leave!!! Food is great and staff are so friendly and approachable, Owners are 2 lovely girls - 1 with moon head and 1 with pea head - hence the name!!! Truly recommend this place!!!! Also My Lovely auntie Lily owns Lark Lane newsagents - so pop in there for your newspapers and receive a lovely warm welcome! x

Really enjoyed this place, looks great and the food was excellent. Will definitely be going again.

The food here is delicious. Great portions and well presented. The staff are attentive and well mannered offering impeccable service. Only criticism being the hostess who was quite rude to my husband on arrival and overwhelmed us with a smell of cigarette smoke. Hopefully this was just a bad evening for her. We will be back next weekend for the much hyped breakfasts

In all honesty I can only say don't go there- especially for breakfast. The food is fine but the service especially by the youngish girl this morning was appalling and bordering on offensive. We did not leave a tip and will not be returning. Friends of ours are emigrating to Australia on Wednesday and after a last night out we decided to go for a last hangover cure breakfast. We decided to go to Esteban where we have been on many occasions over the years. Unfortunately this proved to be a mistake. The food was fine - although the breakfast menu is limited and is not children-friendly however the service was appalling. Upon arrival the restaurant was not yet open and did not open until 5 past 12 although the advertising board outside claimed that breakfast is served between 12 and 3. By the time it was actually opened quite a crowd had gathered. The woman who opened the door invited people to take seats. There was a sign asking for people to wait to be seated however no-one was there to greet us. We made our way to a table suitable for seven and were we have sat on many occasions in the past. We were then accosted in the most arrogant manner by the 'waitress' who demanded to know how many were in our party, even though there were clearly other people taking their own seats in the restaurant and who were not addressed in the same manner. Our orders were taken by another waitress who was inoffensive. We each ordered full English breakfasts but with different extras. However when our breakfasts arrived the rude young girl announced "Full English breakfast" to the tavle and when we pointed out to her that no-one had ordered a plain English breakfast she just kept repeating this like a mantra. The other waitress then brought more breakfasts and explained that the extras were coming on separate plates - which does not make a great deal of sense since we were already crowded on the table and as it turned out made it diffiuclt to account for what had been provided. In the end we did not receive two of the extras that we had ordered. I do not see how the rude young waitress could not have simply told us that the extras were coming separately. It was only the fact that this was the last occasion that I would see my friends for a while that we did not complain at the time. Nevertheless we will not be returning and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I used to give this place a miss as it was really close to home and I didn't feel like I'd have had a night out if I popped round the corner. Big mistake! I now travel 8 miles to eat there and will do it regularly. The basics i.e. popadums and nan bread are spot on. Amazingly, I find some restaurants have already failed at this point. There is a fine pickle tray with 6 items including a delicious sweet chilli sauce. One or two unusual items on the menu. On my first visit, I had a salmon curry and was struck by the extremely generous amount of salmon served. Again, I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of prawns in my Chilli Massala this weekend and served in a sauce that left my mouth well aware that it had just consumed a curry. Plenty of staff in attendance, ensuring quick service despite the understandable demand for tables.

I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly! I'd definitely say that this is THE best Indian restaurant in Liverpool bar none. The food is amazing with a brilliant array of food. The take-away service is great,your food is ready within 20 minutes and at a great price. If your looking for a night in with a bootle of Tiger and a curry,then this is the place for you.....

Wouldn't eat here again, wine bar, more like a greasy spoon, sorry but just didn't enjoy it at all, atmosphere very dull.
