Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the flawless execution of classic dishes that taste reminiscent of the 80s and 90s, evoking nostalgia with each bite. The fresh ingredients stand out, with numerous reviews highlighting the quality of meat used, distinguishing it from pre-cooked alternatives commonly found elsewhere.

Affordable prices compel diners to return, knowing they can enjoy a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. Discovering the munch box is a must; it brings together a variety of favorites in one convenient option. Additionally, the friendliness of the staff resonates well with visitors, who appreciate the polite service accompanying their delicious food.

Most Disliked

While many rave about the offerings, some patrons express a desire for a more diverse vegetarian selection, specifically looking for additional meatless options. A few have mentioned that during peak hours, waiting times can stretch a bit longer than desired, although the quality of food remains a consistent highlight upon receipt.

Additionally, while they do accept reservations, there have been reports of booking clashes. Therefore, it's wise to call ahead to avoid any potential seating mishaps during busy dinner hours. Despite these minor drawbacks, most think the positives far outweigh any negatives.

We tend to enjoy trying new takeaways, as often we get bored of the same flavours. This is our first time trying Orient Delight, but it won’t be our last. We order what most would consider, a boring Chinese consisting of noodles, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chips and chicken as well as curry sauce. Although most would not eat these together or would consider them sides, we really enjoy the combination. The food we received was honestly some of the best we’ve had. The salt and pepper chicken and chips were amazing, not too spicy but packed with flavour. The noodles and rice were lovely too. It’s very easy for a Chinese to get these wrong as we have noticed before in the Pontefract/Castleford area. Orient Delight did not disappoint. In addition, we also received free prawn crackers and free vegetable spring rolls which were lovely, they really made the meal. The people that served my partner were friendly and kind and food was cooked quickly but not too quick as to arise suspicion about whether it has been reheated. Prices were in line with pretty much ever Chinese we’ve tried over the past year, our food cost about £20 ish. We will definitely be ordering again.
