Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

The staff were very attentive and it was a real treat, hence the fact that I went back about a week later which I seldom, so quickly anyway!! Yum yum

This place has to be one of the best Indian restaurants on Wirral. The food is delicious (especially the chicken madras) it tastes very fresh and the staff are very friendly and you can also take your own drinks in aswel!! The decor could be improved but it's clean and that's what matters. Overall 9/10 very impressed!

Have eaten here many times and the food is always good, great staff with a nice welcoming attitude and atomosphere to boot.

This place is a joke! Very expensive, food is cooked in the microwave has no taste and the service is poor ordered based on the managers recommendation what a mistake, avoid spend your money somewhere else

This place has not changed its decor since the 60's it's like going back in time. The service is good. The food is very average or below based on what you order. This place seems to add 3 times more gravy sause than the meat, also the spices used make food taste bland, Indian food needs to taste sharp and spicy not sweet full of blended onions!

I have been coming here for a very long time and always go home 100) satisfied. The food- exquisite. The service- impeccable. The decor- beautiful. The staff- very friendly. The restaurant is family run and the main man izzy(magician) is very good entertainment. His brother sam and nephew jubel are very friendly and pleasant. I could not fault magic spices in any way at all and would highly recommend it.

I have been here a few times but was rather disappointed at the last visit on Saturday evening. We arrived at the pub at 6.35 and ordered quite quickly but then waited until 7.25 before the food arrived, I did complain and asked to speak to the manager who thought that a half hour wait was quite acceptable and was not really interested. When the food did arrive the lamb was nice but the gammon tough and the sausages under cooked. The food is quite expensive for what it is. Unlikely to return again.

Visited the shop after they won their award and must say the food was fantastic.The fish and chips where lovely, and the staff where friendly will definitely visit again .Well doneBecks x

I went here with my boyfriend on Friday night, the food was good but not great, the tapas was expensive for the size but the meat was good. The thing that shocked us was the bread situation; massive pot of homous, tiny bit of bread, really disappointed! That's besides the point - its Sunday night and that was the last meal I ate because I have felt terrible ever since! Just back from the doctors - food poisoning! Swerve.

Access to the restaurant was down a few stairs . Décor in need of attention. Staff exceptionally friendly attention to customers needs was excellent. The food selection was very varied couldn’t decide what to choose, ended up playing it safe and went for what I new and was not disappointed it was fab and enough for the heartiest appetite . Will certainly go back again.

I have a Chinese friend and we go there all the time the food is excellent and we also go in the supermarket shopping food really cheap

My partner and I went this evening to the east orient buffet in St Helens. There wasn’t a decent selection of dishes, just the basics you would expect to find in any poor quality buffet. The PLASTIC plates were GREASY, it was proper disgusting, and ridiculously small and cold.In the restaurant it was incredibly hot, and the air con was off. There were flies flying all over our heads and food, it was really, really nasty. And the same songs played every 5 minutes.We had only heard and read bad reviews about this restaurant but we like to judge for ourselves so we decided to try it out.We will NEVER EVER go back and we don’t recommend it to any one. We had 2 weekend dinner buffet (although it was Friday) and a bottle of rose. We paid £27.95.You get what you pay for. Oh we had to pay for tap water, so in the end we cancelled it.The decoration was comfortable, but nothing spectacular.The food quality was average in my opinion, but my partner says above average. the meat was mostly dried, we had to constantly for the dishes to be brought out. The desserts were pretty standard and the service was beyond poor, they could benefit from some training. We felt ignored and were left unattended throughout all our dinner experience. If you are thinking of going there, just DON’T. Don’t waste your money, it’s not worth it. If you plan to go to any buffet in St Helens, make it to the The Chinese Buffet, as it is simply the best in merseyside.Resuming- very poor dining experience, average food, pfff, disappointing, a waste of money and time. Just don’t go.

We visited The Arion for lunch and sat in the conservatory in a very calming atmosphere. We ordered a gammon meal off the 'special' board. The portions were more than ample and the food was excellent! The staff (Greg who brought the meals and a young lady who brought my coffee to the table) were a credit to the pub. The decor in the pub is very calming and the whole pub is spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit!!

Really enjoyed my visits to this place. Wrote a comprehensive review on my blog: www.coffeefilteruk.wordpress.comHeard mixed reviews in the past but I've only had good coffee and service here.

excellent has to be one of the best indian restaurants in liverpool, and great value for money!

We were there on Saturday night and everything was absolutely great. We almost tried everything from the menu between 6 people. Plates were presentable, the meals were delicious and staff were very lovely My husband who had a birthday, was served a surprise birthday cupcake from house and it was a very genuine surprise. Thank you Antalya Restaurant,

My wife&myself had an excellent meal the food was to die for and the service was second to none

My friends arranged a surprise birthday party for me at this lovely restaurant. We were served delicious well cooked food by lovely staff. They even brought me a cake and sang happy birthday. The place was a little busy but we were served quickly and weren't rushed. We stayed till close drinking the night away, good times!
