They have been trading since 2013, but I started to see them around 2014. Despite the fact that the focus is on Asian inspired food, Canoodle source their ingredients as locally as possible. Their pork is 100% British and their imported food is all produced ethically. These guys have a big focus of ethical trading and sustainability, and all of their packing is recyclable and from plant based materials. Cool huh? You might get a little wait with Canoodle (as all of their food is cooked to order), but I've had noodles and chicken skewers from these guys before and it was worth the small wait this incurred! The food is fresh, delicious and served piping hot... It also smells as good as it looks! These guys take inspiration from Vietnamese, Cambodian,Malaysian and Sri Lankan cuisine - meaning you can get quite a different experience each visit. The menu changes very frequently and is always under development, so every time you see these folks there is a new dish to try. Dishes are priced around £6.50 for a full serving, but you can get skewers or small things from around £1/£1.50. Next time you're in the mood for food from sunnier climes, give them a go!

This is the sort of place you get takeaway from or go to when you're on a shoe string budget. Don't…read moretake your date here though! Although their food is very tasty, it isn't the healthiest as it's full of heavy sauces and has MSG in it. But if you're in a hurry and just want some delicious Chinese food without all the frills, then this place is your bet! I've eaten here a handful of times. The person taking your order just wants to know your order at the till. So pick quickly from the 500 options, and have your cash ready. No messing around. Then you're given a # for eat in or take away. And take away tacks on some small charges for a container and a bag. There's plenty of seating and a toilet. Hundreds of food options. Fridge full of drinks. This is a university favourite 'churn and burn' sort of vibe. Enjoy!!!

I used to eat here every Friday night before hitting the town for a party with my mate, but I've…read morenot been in a few years. Well... Until last month that is... I ate here 3 times last month! The food: Excellent! Very good tasting and a great experience. I'm always full when I leave and I've never been able to finish a plate yet. It's also extremely cheap too! I got a meal with starter for under a tenner, crazy prices. Decor: it's 'ok' inside, they're never going to win a design award but I don't think that they really want to either... Their focus seems to be on good tasting food at a good price - and that's fine by me. The only slight criticism I have which stopped me from giving 5 stars is that they use MSG in some of their sauces which gives me massive headaches and insomnia. A LOT of Chinese restaurants do this these days which is strange because in California, this is a complete no go situation. But it's seems to be the norm here in the UK unfortunately. Overall though, I can't fault this place, they're great and we really like them - great restaurant and great people :)

Don't let that put you off, though, as this is one of my favourite Chinese Takeways in the area and I've been a fan since I lived in B17 in the late 90s/early 2000s. These days, when we're over at our friends house in nearby Quinton, this tops my list of suggestions for a meal to share over X Factor on a rainy and boozy Saturday night. The ingredients are always fresh and the food never has that stewed and over-cooked feel that you get from some Chinese takeaways. The starters in particular are good, which I think is always a good sign of a decent and caring chef. The prices are pretty much what you'd expect from such a place - around £8-£12 a head if you're feeling hungry enough for a few courses.

The service has always been good when I have been in; the staff are polite and I have never had to wait too long to place my order, or for my order to arrive. The menu has everything on that you would expect too and so I think this place is better for the classic dishes that you like, rather than anything different or new. I think that the food here is good, I have had better in Birmingham, but then again I have also had worst. I usually order a chicken Chow Mein or a Sweet and Sour chicken dish from here and on every occasion they have been good. Overall, a nice Chinese takeaway.

I have tried their vegetarian samosas and they were very tasty. They were a little bit spicy for my liking but apart from that the samosas were pretty good. I would go back just for the vegetarian samosas. They do offer a range of sweets and the staff at Chahal's gave me the opportunity to try some of the sweets. It was an opportunity I could not refuse. I did kind of get a sugar rush but I managed to burn it off later. The sweets were lovely and the staff are very good with their customers. Worth a visit to Chahal's and do ask if you can try some of their sweets before buying them.

It's a family run place and the staff are helpful and friendly and the food is pretty good. The menu has everything you'd expect from a chinese takeaway, so there's nothing really out of the ordinary on offer - just wholesome food at reasonable prices. I'm not sure whether they deliver or not as I always walk up the road to collect. There's something quite satisfying about a Chinese takeaway. The spare interior, the day old newspapers and the wall-mounted TV - you've seen similar places, I'm sure. Despite the area being densely populated with students you never have to wait too long for your food, and even if you do have a wait it's nice to pass the time with the girls behind the counter.

This place does great quality Chinese food at prices which are more than reasonable. There's no need for me to recommend anything in particular because they have all the classics that any normal Chinese establishment offers. They are normally fairly busy on the weekends, which in my eyes is a great thing as it means a large quantity of people enjoy the fare on offer. One negative is that they do not deliver as often getting a takeaway is a way of relaxing and not having to leave the comfort of your own home. However, Tin Sing is worth putting in a little bit of leg work for as the food they produce is great quality and comes in generous portions also.

The gorgeous smell really pulls you in as you walk by and the odd culinary collaboration means once you're inside, the diversity of the wall-posted menu is pretty overwhelming. Unfortunately, it's pretty pricey too. I paid £3.50 for Saveloy and chips and decided to go for this dish because all Chinese delicacies have to be waited for. The staff are friendly enough and Kings Fryer deserves credit for its originality and stellar location, but in my experience, other local chippies are much cheaper and other local Chinese Takeaways do a much better Chicken Curry!

You can find scallops side-by-side with spring rolls on the menu and an extensive selection of Chinese food (available from 11.30am to 10.30pm) including all the favourites like chicken chow mein and sweet and sour prawns. It's in a great location too right outside Touchwood shopping centre. The service is a little gruff and the chips weren't amazing. I like quite crispy chips but these weren't crispy at all and I think they were a tad undercooked. But I can't judge the whole international menu on a cone of chips so maybe if you're a fan of Chinese food you should check it out.

The interior is decked out in stylish woods and deep red walls, with authentic musical instruments from the Middle East dotted around the place. The tone is stylish and grown-up, which is why the restaurant is popular with everybody - private diners, large parties and corporate events. For my hubby and I, Kismet was the perfect setting for a romantic meal for two. I went for the Chicken Tikka Balti, which positively sizzled as it was delivered to our table. At just under £7 I found this to be really reasonable and I paid an extra £1 so I could get my hands on some lovely mushrooms. What a great evening, I only wish Kismet were closer to my home. The service was great, their fully licensed bar satisfied our needs and we came out wishing we hadn't driven. I've said it once, but I'll say it again, you'll struggle to find anywhere else this sophisticated outside of the city centre.
