Decent Takeaway in Stafford

[Mrs B]

Has anyone tried essence of the orients takeaway bit? i fancy chinese tonight and am wondering about giving it a shot

Sorry for the delay in reply, yes the T/A is pretty good from there i usually go for bbq pork with special fried rice. Did you have food from there last night and if so how was it?......

 

[Mrs B]

it was blooming lovely, i had beef with sweet chilli and yellow bean sauce, and hubby has chicken and cashew nuts (he always has the same) egg fried rice and prawn crackers, was very tasty and delivered v quick, will defo use again, although ended up getting up in the night to drink a bucket of water lol

Tiger Bowl situated very close to Waggon & Horses is very good value for money in fact choose wisely as the portions are quite generous, we usually have the remains for brekky......

 

[trenchfoot]

Yep, I'm a fan of the Tiger Bowl for Chinese, Shuma Balti for Indian/curries etc and Chris' Fish Bar in Rising Brook for the old standard.....a fair way to travel from oop north, but worth it. More importantly, I wouldn't buy fish and chips from Northern Lights or the place opposite the Reynolds Bar for love nor money.

Essence of the Orient Takeaway is excellent. And i know i may be saying something really quite crazy indeed here.... But IMHO Penkridge has some SUBLIME takeaway. best one being Mingh's takeaway Chinese... although it does have an unfortunate name.

Essence of the Orient = good
Oriental Kitchen (Newport Road) = amazing

Huge choice of food, great service, generous portions etc. and the food is nicer as well imo. Not sure but I think it might be slightly cheaper too. Just remember that a 'set meal for two' is easily enough for three, or even four if you add another rice and another main dish! You sometimes find some free extras too eg prawn crackers or fortune cookies!

Oriental Kitchen (Newport Road) = amazing

+1 for great food.
Plus always get free prawn crackers

I agree that the Oriental Kitchen does lovely food. If only they'd deliver (says the lasy moo who only lives a 5 minute walk away but when it's late, cold & wet and there's no food in the house, I opt for a takeaway particularly so I don't *have* to leave the house as otherwise I'd go to the supermarket, buy proper food & cook)

Sorry, can't resist

A good chinese take away I have found is the Golden Gate by the Waggon & Hores pub.

Apology to the Waggon & Horses for the bad spelling.
