    Came in it was very nice. I ordered mixed grill for starters when it arrived it wasn’t sizzling like it should there was only little salad on it it came on a cold plate. I can go on about it but I wouldn’t go back and this was on Valentine’s Day

    From start to finish I had a brilliant experience at the Imperial Lounge. I was excited to be in such a local historic setting for my birthday with my loved one's. All staff were exceptional at delivering warm and attentive service. The cocktails were delicious. My only negative would be that margarita was a tad sweet as I think they use a syrup but that's just my preference. We all devoured the delicious food which were good portions, all agreeing, we must come back. Thank you again.

    We experienced an unreasonably long wait, and the overall service at the restaurant was extremely disappointing

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    We had a lunch time event for 10 of us. We were the first there but curiously the staff seemed to be a bit disorganised. When we ordered the food, 3 of us ordered Chinese food and 7 ordered Indian food. For some reason, the Chinese food was all delivered even before those ordering Indian food could place their main course orders. So things were rather disjointed but broadly speaking the food was good and the service was OK. The place has more atmosphere in the evenings than the day time when it all seems a little more functional.

    We went there after a couple of years and experienced that the service of the restaurant has considerably declined. Regardless the taste of the food that we had ordered wasn’t bad.

    Among 4 main dishes, ordered chilli chicken and it was inedible. Did let the staff know but still was charged although we did not touch the dish. We were told next time we will adjust but don’t think we will go next time :( and posting this review (it’s being negative) itself is a task! What a joke!

    Had very Terrible experience today, we were regulars here but this time it was so terrible. Food quantity and quality was very less, our regular favourite dishes had changed its taste and flavour. It was ver over priced as well, we as a family of 3 costs 70 £ for a dinner with platter, soup and drinks. Service was very slow, we had to call them to take orders. Regarding the cleanliness , glass was very fishy smelling so that my child couldn’t drink water. The drinks was very priced and not having any flavour, with only ice and soda. Won’t recommend to anyone and would never go back to this restaurant Won’t recommend to anyone again.

    This was our first time here. The restaurant itself was clean. I found the staff were a bit unfriendly. Not rude though. Although the food was nice. It wasn't to my taste. Bit too spicy for my liking. We will be going back. But next time I'll go for less spicy.

    Once a month our bookclub meets at imperial. We choose from the special lunch menu. Yesterday I chose the vegetarian spring roll. I was given 2 pieces in a bowl. Previously this dish comprised 4 pieces on a platter. I questioned rhe manager and was told the menu has changed! Not changed but halved it seems. Totally unacceptable and very disappointing.

    Large restaurant and as it was early lunchtime we were only people there for most of the time. We had the lunchtime menu ( 2 courses) with a glass of wine and complimentary coffee. Came to £21 (inclusive of tip) each. One of us had Chinese and the other had Indian. Good size portions and we were offered takeaway containers without prompting. Would go again.

    This used to be my favourite place every time to go. Now they are overcharging and giving less portions, charging main meal prices for starters and giving hand size bowls for the portion is unacceptable. Will not be going here anymore.
