I was sceptical at first, expecting a microwaved meal. How wrong could I be!? We were told on a Tuesday it was curry night - 2 Thai curries with rice for £10. Not bad and not a lot to lose so we tried it out the next Tuesday. We were welcomed by a young man who was very pleasant and he said we can sit anywhere. It has a feel of a pub but this is not a bad thing for an informal bite to eat. The drinks order you have to place at the bar and pay separately as it is 2 separate businesses. This is a strange thing but it doesn't detract from the quality of the food. Also drinks prices are reasonable. The food was served to the table by a lovely woman with a massive smile. The smell as the doors opened from the kitchen was amazing. The presentation was excellent. We hardly spoke whilst eating, it was that good. The penang curry was nice and spicy but full of flavour and the massaman was nice and mild filled with chicken and potatoes. For £10 this place simply cannot be beat on a Tuesday! Even at full prices it is definitely worth it. If you are in early enough you can even get a seat ready for the evening entertainment on a Friday and Saturday which is good if you're into that sort of thing. Don't judge this place for how it looks from the outside as it is an excellent place which deserves to do well.

My, if I found a piece of blue ginger in my food I'd be a little worried. I've only just managed to get my head round the bright orange ginger atop the food in Wagamama. Don't worry though, it's just a cute name. I have a friend who 'doesn't do Chinese food' because she hates MSG. Well, she hasn't an excuse any more. After extensive research (thank you, Google and Wikipedia) I still can't figure out exactly what tangible symptoms this additive is supposed to invoke, however the main thing is that Blue Ginger prides itself on not using monosodium glutamate. Rejoice! There's no doubt about it - Blue Ginger's delicious. It has its flaws in the expensiveness of the dishes and lack of late opening times (come on, Domino's is open until 5am! And I have firsthand knowledge of the fact that it uses delivery people who could quite easily star in The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Deliverance... I don't want to be told I have a 'purdy mouth' in the wee small hours but hey, we all need pizza), but it's worth it. It's the sort of takeaway that makes you want to get into your sweats, put on a DVD and just indulge in the cosiness of your city apartment. But Blue Ginger should be a treat unless you're a CEO or MD or Client Services Director or maybe even a celebrity. I think it breaks the bank a little with soups and starters ranging from £3.70 to around £7, or more if you opt for crispy duck pancakes. The online ordering service is a gem though, it's so simple... choose your sauce, then opt for beef, chicken, pork, prawn, king prawn, char sui, a combo, mixed veg, mushrooms or tofu. This means that the veggies don't miss out on great sauces, something I find happens often in Chinese takeout. You can simply pick and choose. Remember that these don't include rice and noodles which can make for a costly meal. Because there's so much choice you might find yourself gazumped, so the set meals and the chef's selection offer a solution to any difficulty in deciding. You can even order a bottle of wine to be delivered, the cheapest at £6.95 (and a Chardonnay too - bonus for me) or beers at around £1.70 each. Blue Ginger just about has everything covered. The food may be pricey, but the quality speaks for itself. It's fresh, it's hot and it's tasty. Some say you can't put a price on the perfect takeaway, so surely there's nothing wrong with paying a little extra for something special?

You can sit and eat in on the little bar that runs around the edge, or take out, with a good selection of pad thais, salads, curries, rice dishes, the works. A word of warning though, two chillies on the menu packs a bit ore of a punch than I expected, however, with that I will say, that even though it made my lips confused for a few minutes after I'd wolfed that tasty box down, it was still really very flavourful, none of that spice replacing taste lark. The cherry on the top is how nice the ladies are, and even the mechanics in the garage next door are super friendly too. Work giving this place a go.

I have been here many times as it is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants I've been to in the UK. The restaurant has two floors and can seat larger parties, service is very good and food is reasonably priced. The menu also has a selection of Chinese style dishes which caters of all really. Our particular favourites are the mixed starter which is really good value and the green and massaman curries!! The restaurant also does a buffets style lunch on a Sunday and a take away service.

I decided to sign up after googling the open times for Othello's and noticing the undeserved 1 star…read morereview from Aaron S. I recently happened across Othello's late Sunday afternoon after returning from a day shopping - my girlfriend and I had no other options for places to eat so we dropped in here to see how it was - I ordered Barbecue Chicken and chips and she had the typical staple of a High street cafe, sausage egg and chips. The Barbecue chicken was the best Barbecue food I have ever eaten - and I habitually eat any barbecue food offered at restaurants. The chips were light and fluffy with a slight crisp - perfect. The food itself was absolutely fantastic - we've since gone back nearly every sunday and the rest of the items on the menu quite easily live up to previously set standards. The portion sizes are far larger than the prices would suggest as it is ridiculously cheap - unless you're used to Gregs or pound bakery you'll be hard pressed to find somewhere more affordable. The staff are extremely well mannered, very helpful and very courteous and hard working - I honestly feel that a 1 star review from some one who can't handle a bit of yolk (Don't eat eggs is my advice) is extremely undeserved for this hidden gem in the town centre. I'd rather eat here than traipse into Manchester for an over priced burger/meal of lesser quality. Othellos is a true staple of the traditional high street cafe but without the greasy spoons.
