An excellent takeaway with a wide choice and reasonable prices. A little frustrating that cash only. Difficult to contact be phone

Service was slow, not really worth waiting for. I’ve tasted better, quite disappointing. Won’t be returning. Three meals and not one good one among them.

At Opium Den Takeaway, diners experience a blend of delight and disappointment. While many relish the flavorful offerings and efficient service, others note issues like inconsistent food quality, notably slimy chicken, and bland flavors. Regular patrons appreciate the warm staff and generous portions, often praising specific dishes like sesame chicken and crispy beef. Despite a lack of delivery service, loyal customers continue to return for the tasty meals they've trusted for years. However, some have faced challenges with allergen inquiries and unpalatable dishes, emphasizing that experiences can vary significantly. Overall, Opium Den remains a local favorite with room for improvement.
