Me neither. Thought I would have at least heard of some of them.

Mr M's Chippy is probably 3rd best in cheylesmore!

Wouldn't read too much into tripadvisor reviews very easy to rig.

Any tips as to how? I'd like to see Otis' Oatcakes a tad more popular online.

WHen there aren't many reviews it's easy, just get your mates to do a good one.

tbf once you hit the thousands of reviews, it's rather harder to skew the trend.

That cafe on New Union St (in the old Job Centre) was in the top 3 places on TA. Closer inspection showed that the owners had clearly been writing favorable reports. They read like a piece of marketing literature and were all written in the same style.

Thought that looked suspicious. Reviews kept saying it was the best coffee in Coventry.

Is it still there?

I stayed here once, there's nothing they can do to make these reviews look good!

Four years on from my stay, the manager's still valiantly replying to reviews saying if only people had said, they could have sorted the utter shiteness of the place out

Otis · Sep 7, 2015

When he says 'the place' is he talking about the hotel or Birmingham in general?

Marty · Sep 7, 2015

Golden Dragon is terrible, easily the worst Chinese I've had, gave me the shits as well.

You guys are really spoiled in Cov for food. It is excellent and so cheap.

I do understand you'll get better and worse places.

But generally, the food is vastly superior to Bournemouth, and at least half the price.

Just to compare, I got a small chips, large sausage, 8 chicken nuggets and 2 curry sauses for £7.10 today from my local chippy.

In Cov, the chippy on barker butts lane (name escapes me) I got Large chips, large sausage, curry sauce, piece of chicken and 4 wings for about £5.

I like the Mexican in Bournemouth. Can't remember the name. Corriander?

Grendel · Sep 7, 2015

I just wish I could be taken away from Coventry.

Nick · Sep 7, 2015

Used to have Chinese from the golden Dragon, not the best and guaranteed every time to forget something.

ccfc92 · Sep 7, 2015

Although, (the Lee Burge thread has reminded me), there's a burger bar/takeaway called Smokey's in Poole.

Just incredible. Bit pricey, but you never go hungry.

Normally a 1/2 pounder monster burger: 2x beef burgers, 1x chicken breast, bacon, cheese and possibly an onion ring :guitar2:

The amount of meat in the meals is amazing,I go there for our curry nights at work.
I have not used any of them takeaways in the list,Imran Balti by the Devon is good and also the Chilli and Spice at Potters Green,Dragon House by the rose and crown and the best chippy has to be the Mega chippy easily.

Johnnythespider · Sep 8, 2015

Always used the gulshan when I lived up that way, now I use the imran, both v. good. Can't agree with you about the smega chippy though I much prefer the Hipswell.

skybluejelly · Sep 8, 2015

yep have to disagree about the mega chippy as well don't think I have ever finished anything from there .. its just not good

Nick · Sep 8, 2015

The Shahzalal on Beake Ave is decent sometimes too!

I'm sure his name's Manuel. Want me to set you up with a meet?

oldskyblue58 · Sep 8, 2015

Favourite chippy is the Sandy Lane Fish bar good portions, fresh fish, reasonable prices and now have a vegetarian menu option too

I usually get my indian takeaways from the Sonargoan on Daventry Rd and they are very good, although I had a great restaurant meal at the Royal Bengal Earlsdon recently

The staff have been great in all of them

Deleted member 5849 · Sep 8, 2015

Marina FIsh Bar, Willenhall wins for me. Mega Chippy is now walkable so I should try it, but the doctor's ordered a diet

skyblueheaven · Sep 8, 2015

Sonali balti,Eastern Green -excellent food, use every week,and currently being done out.
Delicious pizza,Coundon,again use on a regaular basis,good food,cant complain
