This was the worst meal I have ever had. I ordered the house special curry with fried rice and chicken, along with pineapple and red rice.

This is my first ever takeaway review, and this one is based on my local takeaway, to which I have been a regular customer for many years now. First of all the...

Windmill House has garnered a spectrum of reviews, revealing a restaurant that delights some while disappointing others. Many customers rave about the restaurant's authentic flavors, generous portion sizes, and exceptional service, often highlighting dishes like the kung pow chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Satisfied patrons appreciate the timely delivery and occasional free items. However, not all encounters are positive; some diners report issues with incorrect orders, food quality, and temperature, leading to unpleasant experiences. As a neighborhood staple, Windmill House might still be a worthwhile stop—provided diners approach with caution.
