Consistently a great place to eat, their midweek specials are fantastic value for more without them holding back on the quality of ingredients. Staff are always very polite and accommodating. I recommend the brisket burger with homemade chips, I can’t fault it. They also do home deliveries, yes we are obsessed.
My husband and I just returned from eating at the restaurant. We ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls, the Sunday Roast with beef, the sirloin steak, mac and cheese and, the chocolate brownie with ice cream. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! Bonus that all the meat is halal! We were also treated to service with a smile by Sara- she was friendly, attentive and efficient. Both my husband and I would recommend this place! Just one advice- book a table beforehand as the restaurant is so popular and you will have to wait if you walk-in!
Imagine going to a steak house and not eating anything made of beef! Weird right? But I did, and it wasn't too bad. Apart from a couple of item that stood out the non beef menu was satisfactory and you can find item in all parts of the menu. Starters, mains, sides and deserts. There was a great selection of drinks and friendly service by all the staff. So what did I order? Started off with chicken wings and some halloumi fries! I wanted the lamb shank from the menu, but only 2 are normally available and both were sold while we ordered. I followed this by getting fish and chips with peas, spicy truffle mac and cheese this was good, really good!. All good meals deserve sweet treats and I got their famous sticky toffee pudding with ice cream! Warm, gooey and creamy, all at the same time.
First time eating at Christina’s, recommended many times and I can safely say I’m glad I finally went! The starters of fried potato skins with fried beef was so different and so tasty, would definitely order that again. Homemade lemonade was fresh and easy on the palette, not too sweet. I never order burgers when dining out but had to try the brisket burger, which is cooked for 24hrs. It was so soft and tender, quite literally melt in your mouth tender meat and seasoned very well. Burger was accompanied by crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, skin on, chips. Desserts were lovely, Eton mess was light, refreshing and so good. Chocolate brownie was a little rich and heavy for me but tasted of good quality for the chocolate fans, go for it! Ambiance was lovely, decor was cosy, almost like sitting in a pleasant living room. Look forward to returning! Many thanks
Third time coming here and this time has been the best visit yet! Great service by an attentive and hard-working young Asian man who made sure our food came out on time and our needs were met. We ordered the sirloin steak with mushroom sauce, which never disappoints. The chips were amazing as per usual. The side of mac and cheese was nice and hearty enough to keep us full. We also ordered our favourite- the Mess burger- which just hit the spot as usual and melted in your mouth! Great experience, lovely atmosphere and all in all happy :
Unfortunately quite a disappointment. It's a lovely place and the staff were great. The food however, expensive and rather bland. I could think of better places to eat for £40 a head. The peppercorn sauce which is an extra £3 was bland. The bone marrow starter was unseasoned. The roast potatoes literally 4 pieces were fine but dry. The brisket/rib was nice but again not enough sauce. The mocktail Moscow mule was £6 for a glass of ginger beer, ice and 4 mint leaves. But the homemade lemonade was good. The steak itself was actually really nice and the meat was done exactly as we had asked for it, so there were good bits. I wouldn't be going back in a hurry unfortunately.
Really nice restaurant. Good choice on the menu. We enjoyed mushrooms on toast and potato & crispy beef for starters. The fillet and sirloin steaks where perfectly cooked, price included salad and chips. Sauces extra, but a nice thick sauce with plenty to share. Very good service, attentive to our needs.
I've the a great costumer service and the price was really fair, about this I can't tell anything. But honestly I think the food could be a bit more spicy and salted. I miss that the Lamb Shank also could be a bit more soft and. These are the reasons why I'm not giving 5 stars.
This is the second time I’ve sat in to eat at Christina’s and it will be the last. The Pros: staff were polite, restaurant was fairly clean and very simple layout. The steak was seasoned well The cons: we waited ages to be served. When we ordered the food took about 30-45mins to come out. I think there is only 1 chef that works there as food was coming our slowly. There was only 2 waiters as well which meant we had wait every time we needed them. When the food finally came, it was over cooked. I asked for medium steak and mine was almost well done. The bucket of onions were nice but not hot at all. The chips were okay but got soggy quickly due to swimming in the salad dressing. After we ate the plates were not taken up from our table until we paid. Not very good for a steakhouse to serve over cooked steak. I also saw someone else send their steak back for not being cooked properly. This whole meal cost us £62.
Having succulent steak and being halal is very rare. I’ve heard a lot about this place and finally trying it I must say I was pleased. Apart from feeling slightly rushed which I can understand being always fully booked the food was great and came out very swift. Also having a fillet steak at this standard for £28 including fries and salad, I must say it is worth every penny.
