Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Wolverhampton

It was a busy early lunchtime. We ordered drinks, both hot drinks arrived soon afterwards but after waiting 15 more minutes for my daughter’s cold drink I had to flag down a waitress and ask for it. The food came, one veggie breakfast, a Ruben sandwich and portion of fries. My daughter is 12 and vegetarian and there was nothing on the children’s menu she liked so plumbed for a portion of fries . She’s at that in between age with the menu but only likes her food plain and would not eat any of the adult dishes due to mixing of ingredients,dressings and spice. When the order arrived there were fries with the sandwich which were in an enamel mug whereas the individual portion arrived on my breakfast plate in what I can only describe as an expresso cup. Without saying anything the waitress promptly took the fries and alio from my plate. (Leaving a generous gap) and placed this tiny portion in front of my daughter where the tomatoes sauce from my plate was all on the bottom of the vessels and transferred rings on to the table. I couldn’t quite believe what she did or understand this action. I was speechless. The waitress left and my daughter became quite upset at this token gesture of a portion. I couldn’t get the waitresses attention again. My friend kindly swapped her mug and of fries for the mini portion so at least my daughter was able to eat. I wasn’t sure if the Ruben came with chips as hadn’t been paying attention when my friend ordered hers. Surely that was the mix up but when I went to pay the bill I was charged for two fries and alio @ £8. This was difficult to argue over where I was dealing with someone else so I paid it and we left but felt a little dissatisfied at quite a clumsy and strange experience.

Food was excellent and the restaurant although not that busy had a great atmosphere. Service was a little slow and we had to ask where drinks were a couple of times.

I ordered the teriyaki Salmon. The salmon was cooked beautifully but it was a bit dry as a meal. Could have done with some sauce. The salad was just lettuce so it would have been nice to have some tomato & cucumber as well.

We book every year for our wedding anniversary on December 24th and always chose the same festive menu . As ever out lunch was fabulous and our waiter was too

We had the most wonderful evening here for a birthday. Little touches like the birthday card made this a truly amazing evening. From the young man who greeted us, to all the staff who looked after us and meeting Aktar himself it was a special time. The chefs bought the courses out and explained each one - there wasn’t one that disappointed. Would wholly recommend.
