Had lunch from the wokstop today. It's wokstop not wokshop. Website is www.wok-stop.co.uk
Website doesn't come up if you just type in wok stop to google for some reason.
The meal was amazing.
I had a medium at £4.99 but will have small size next time.
I had chicken, prawns, broccoli, peppers,thin noodles, & their guest sauce for today which was baby corn and sweet chilli. The noodles already come with carrot, onion and beanssprouts.
They do also have some gluten free noodles and sauces.
Drove all the way home to Weeping Cross and it was still boiling hot when I opened the box. I was very surprised. It's a really simple idea they've got going there. Would go there regularly if the parking wasn't so awful. Twitter says they're thinking of introducing delivery in a few months. That would be better for me.
Interestingly it shuts at 10pm according to the website which I thought was quite early but perhaps they don't want the very late night business with all the hassle that comes with that.
Twitter also has one or two comments of waiting a long time but that could be at night. It was quick at lunchtime.
You can eat in as they have like a breakfast bar with some bar stools. They give you a fork or chopsticks, serviette and a wrapped wet wipe.
The owner and the assistant were very pleasant.

yeh, I meant to update my post. I had the medium last weekend. I still couldn't manage it all, but not enough to warm up next day lol
small is all i'd need.
we drove past Thursday night at 9pm. it was the only take-away along the Newport road that had customers inside, probably 10-12 customers.


good news if they start to deliver

Lovely take away from Wok Stop tonight.
Noodles with chicken, peppers, mushrooms,waterchestnuts and a mild curry sauce. Second pot with garlic and black bean sauce.
We had two large pots between 5 and was more than enough. Food was delicious. Definitely go again, not sure how fast they deliver to but it's tasty to make the effort to go and fetch it.

The Island has become my Indian takeaway of choice, just perfect in taste, quantity and quality :). Plus they employ local people so that pleases me! Previous to this I always used Shuma, but they were always a bit hit and miss

Tried the wok stop tonight very rare I eat takeaways, but I have to say everything was fresh and very hot took a while before it cooled down enough to eat. I had thin noodles broccoli mushrooms mixed peppers sweetcorn and chilli sauce I also ordered chicken it was on my receipt but unfortunately not in my meal, but it didn't bother me as I'm not a big meat eater as I prefer fish anyway. It's worth a try if anyone is thinking of going here I ordered a small portion and couldn't get through it, I would imagine a large one would suit two people who were quite hungry.

The good thing about these recommendations is that you are real people who are honest. Something I have noted of late on Tripadvisor, a lot of reviews for Stafford restaurants, saying the same thing and left by people with just that one review under their belt.

Think I need to give Wok Stop a try, but Haweli Balti is still too good to stop using at the moment.

Is Haweli Balti this one that's merged with Chefs Kitchen?

They are advertising in the Feelgood Stafford magazine that was delivered this morning with a menu....

....not sure how much confidence I've got in a restaurant that can't spell 'NAAN'!

Personally I say it as nan so that is the correct spelling. It's only incorrect if you pronounce like a southerner - naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrn :)

Didnt know they had merged, I will have to sample their wares again on Friday to make sure the quality is the same.

In the magazine it says they have merged, the front page of the leaflet says 'Chefs Kitchen' - but inside it says 'Welcome to Indian Chef' ?!?!?

Either way, I need to stop looking at the menu.....its making me hungry!

How do I edit this?
Naan, nan or even khamiri, depending on where you're from..

My Curry Club Indian Restaurant Cookbook (1984) favours "Nan", more recent sources on my cookbook shelf all use "Naan". I've noticed "hummus" has gone out of fashion in favour of "houmous" over the years too. I suppose when one is phonetically translating from other alphabets there isn't really a right or wrong spelling - only a most common way to do it.

Tried the "Chefs Kitchen" the other day....not too bad to be honest. Naan's were decent enough.

Only criticism is the chef LOVE to use nuts in sauces. I had a lamb sagwala, loads of nuts finely chopped, peanut I think?

A friend had a chicken Korma though it was apparently good, very rich and chocked full of finely chopped nuts again.

Worth asking them if nuts are in the dish you order, especially if you or someone you're ordering with has an allergy to nuts.

Tried chefs kitchen via hungry house. Disaster. Small, small portions. 1 small curry, 1 starter, 1 naan and 1 fried rice £15 and a 1 hour 45 minute delivery time...

Thats a worry as when I have used them the portion size was the other way, huge portions, really big. That delivery time is pretty unacceptable too.
