This restaurant is the ultimate hangover cure and has everything you need. For locals, this should be your go-to place for takeout Chinese. There are lower-rated options in the area that aren’t worth your time, but this spot is, without a doubt, the best around.

I regularly order delivery from Oriental Delight and have tried various items from their menu. The food is always delivered hot and delicious, and I genuinely enjoy everything I’ve tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I ordered the special chow mein with sweet curry sauce and pineapple fritters for takeout, and my meal was ready shortly after I arrived. The friendly family team provided excellent service, and the food was hot and delicious. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you for the great experience!

Has to be one of the worst Chinese I have had from here. The chicken is not breast that asked for and got slimey horrible chicken bits. No flavour to the curry was bland mushrooms were rank. Chips reheats have ordered loads of times from here so must depend on who the cook is but the food tonight was horrendous. Will never order here again. Waste of money and no prawn crackers. The girl behind counter couldn’t have been anymore rude and stand offish. 华人永远 Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
