Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

The Karma is fantastic, great food and very well priced. I used to go regularly but sadly have moved away now! I would recommend it to everyone, especially the chicken resmi kebab starters, they are immense! Richard Gartland

been going here for like over 10 years!!! the best chinese takeaway ever - and such friendly service

Been here a good few times as I live close by. The food is generally good if a bit pricey. The staff are pretty efficient as well. My big problem is the speed with which it appears, and also all at once. Ideally the dishes would appear a few at a time so you could linger and relax. However, it tends to appear in one delivery minutes after ordering which is good if you are in a hurry but not so good if you were planning to have a leisurely night out.

We are regulars at Yiamas and, having visited 7 of the Greek islands over the past eight years, we can tell you through experience that the quality of food and service here is consistently excellent. This is by far the best Greek restaurant on Wirral (and possibly the whole of Merseyside) and I cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic food, fantastic prices, fantastic beer (Estrella mmmmmmm)!

me and my boyfriend love going to tess rileys for lunch - we often go over to liverpool, and we always say 'big fat chips' and we know where we are eating lol there is a load of us going on friday - because the food is so good and the atmosphere is nice, the the place itself is clean and friendly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I can honestly say it was the best meal I have ever eaten in Liverpool and I have been living here for 6 years!"

I suggest you give this lovely restaurant a try. It's wonderful surroundings and delicious food are a rare treat. The staff were helpful and courteous and it felt so nice to be so well treated. They made our new year's eve dinner a night to remember. Planning to take family for a special birthday and have already booked.

Visited here around 7pm on a sat night after a friend recommending after it recently being taken over.staff very friendly, great atmosphere in bar & lounge areas & very clean throughout. all the usual favourites on the menu as well as some dishes you wouldn't expect to find & great value too, stuffed peppers & angel noodles with chicken for £4.79 each were both delicious, and it makes a difference they taste fresh instead of the usual microwave standard meals! They have a grill night tues & sun roast which both seem good value for money - would go again without doubt

Seriously? You want me to comment? Okay. I wouldn't recommed this place to my most hated enemy! Roast dinner for Sunday? Er, no beef, no chicken. Ok, let's go with the lamb! Nastiest food ever. We left most of it. The sausage wrapped in bacon was a refugee from a Xmas dinner served up long ago. It had all the consistency, and flavour, of a spent cartridge fired from a Kalashnikov rifle during the seige of Stalingrad. Thank god it was only a quarter of an inch long, and there was only one of them. The peas were green, almost. I'd call it 'seasick green'. The palor of a ghost grey visage fixed to the face of a traveller braving the English channel for the first time during a stormy January afternoon crossing. They, too, had seen better days, and lay, inconsolable, at the edge of the plate near to Marie Piper's roast potatos. I say Marie Piper's because they appear to have been nibbled by her already. I would have sent them back but I feared for the customers queuing up for their own roast dinners. So I manfully ate them. It's a novel idea to serve sage and onion stuffing with lamb. However, the billiard ball hardness of the ball of stuffing did not invite further investigation. My 10 year old daughter declared the child's portion of Chicken Tikka Masala to be 'tasteless and watery'. It looked disgusting. I can only imagine that your Chicken Tikka Masala is an anagram of some other dish altogether. Thank God it was a Two For One Pub. Then again, no. The standard of the food is exactly what one should expect when one pays £9.60p for 2 Sunday roast dinners. I think I'll stay at home and cook next time. In the emantime, I think your establishment should be closed immediately. It's a disgrace.

We had a lovely time here, tea, coffee and cakes, my fiancee took me here as a surprise and i loved it, will come here more often when i can.

Been going here for 25 years, it's the best Indian Restaurant in Liverpool. All my family and extended family go now aswell. Brilliant staff, food and prices. Love it! Donna

Quite simply this place is a gem and the most authentic true thai restaurant in Liverpool. Friendly efficient service, fantastic fresh aromas and flavours and a good selection of reasonably priced wines to boot. Fish cakes and sea bass did it for me!

Oh no! Two years ago we had the most fantastic meal here and returned for my birthday on 28 December as a special treat - it's a difficult time of year to celebrate, falling as it does midway between Christmas and New Year and we wanted to be sure of a good experience. Sadly, it was disappointing. As you still say on Sugarvine, it used to be a brasserie and separate restaurant - it is now all combined so, having dressed up (a bit!) and thinking we had booked the smart, more formal side it was a bit disappointing when a very casual group arrived at the next table, hot foot from the sales with many bags and coats (no coats were taken by the waiting staff by the way) for a bowl of soup and bottle of water... But, to the service and the food: we opted for the standard lunch and so it was - standard. The soup was good and flavoursome, the smoked salmon - well, smoked salmon. The main course of brill was mixed - the brill was perfectly cooked but the barley on which it sat was excessively salty and frankly the scatter of salad leaves on top would have been more at home in a gastropub. It was also a rather small portion. We were not asked if we enjoyed it and made a point of saying it was very salty: there was no response at all from the waitress, not even a ‘sorry’. The two waitresses who served us were by turns friendly and taciturn but neither seemed especially well trained, it was certainly not silver service. Our pre-lunch kir turned up in tumblers with ice and a straw - we sent it back for a more traditional treatment. The fact that we were charged £7.50 (or was it £7.90? can’t remember) each for these did not help our post prandial mood. When we queried the charge the waitress said ‘Yes, they are expensive’. We eschewed the bottle of wine and had a glass each as we were beginning to realise this was not the festive, utterly superb, reliable experience we had hoped for, based on our previous meal. In fact, we were not offered a wine list though Sugarvine says there are over 300 to choose from, there was a selection in the back of our menu which we can only assume is now the sum total of the wine on offer. This is not a place to go for a great lunch and it is far from cheap. Overall, service mediocre to poor, food OK but certainly not worth the price paid even for the set luncheon. Maybe we should have gone for dinner - but surely a place with a reputation like this should take more care of it?

been to kozi on three occasions before our last disastrous time.paid an exhorbitant amount for tough pheasant and tough beef wont be going again

the staff absolutely amazing friendly, knowledgeable, speedy. The ribs are to die for char sui style lovely atmosphere, reasonably priced, value for money and plenty of it,well worth a visit.

I visited parnells last week and could not figure if it was meant to be a restaurant, bar or cafe. The prices were like a smack in the face! The music was terrible and the service was a little poor i waited up to an hour for my meal. I was a little disappointed as i was recommended by a friend.5/5 for me.

Having lived in Northern Spain for 8 years I feel I am in a great position to recommend this superb restaurant. I have visited the restaurant on many occasions and never been disappointed-I had to wait an hour to be seated once after pre booking, but it was a very busy Saturday night and Liverpools Spanish international Xabi Alonso was not given a table before me, He had to wait his turn. This is not a problem only a minor criticism in La Vina because the ambience is fantastic. I have tried every Spanish/Tapas restaurant in Liverpool and if you want authentic, regional Spanish cuisine this is the best in Liverpool bar none. I would recommend diners to concentrate on the tapas above the paella and be conservative with orders...a little goes a long way! The green beans and choritzo is the best reminder of my life in Spain since I actually returned there on holiday! Simple, beautiful flavors. The red table wine is strong and dark, perfect for this type of food. Overall this restaurant is my favourite in Liverpool despite a plethora of newer, more elaborate and expensive less satisfying restaurants. Try this place or miss out on one Liverpools hidden gems!!!! Superb!
