Mizo — Restaurant in Belfast

Extremely disappointed. Forgettable, overpriced and small portion meals.

Ordered takeaway from here tonight; chilli garlic prawn loaded fries (£16.95) and chicken pad thai (£15.95) coming to £32.90 total.

The loaded fries portion was pathetic and a disgrace for the cost of it. It is on the menu as a main option but on the receipt it was referred to as a starter which was reflective of the portion size but not cost. For £11.45 you can buy the tempura prawns starter and a side of chips so I fail to see where the extra £4.50 goes when the portion is tiny. Taste wise it was fine and could easily be replicated at home. For much less you can get the same tempura prawns in Tesco for £2.25 and buy loads of chips and top with your sauce of choice.

The chicken pad thai was fine but again overpriced; for a much nicer meal at a lower cost (£10.99) you could go to Camile and get a prawn and chicken pad thai.

At present I wouldn't return or recommend. I would only contemplate returning if the portion sizes were increased and the cost reduced by at least 35%.

To give the place credit it was full when the takeaway was collected which I assume is due to the BYoB policy and being a bank holiday weekend. The staff were friendly and the only reason I've given 2 stars...

We made a reservation for very early Thursday evening. We were a bit early but didn't have to wait long for a table. We weren't terribly hungry and so only ordered 3 starters and an Asian vegetable stir fry side to share between the two of us. The food was very mediocre. The tempura prawns were flat - more like they'd been breaded instead of battered and deep fried. The chicken dumplings were hard as though they'd been baked instead of steamed or fried. The spring rolls were ok and the dipping sauce was good. The vegetable stir fry was mostly carrots and broccoli with some bamboo shoots being the only thing that made it Asian, although the sauce on them was fine. After about 1 hour the waiter asked us to leave because they had people waiting for tables.  We'd finished eating and were just finishing a glass of wine (BYOB) so not a major problem but we didn't think that was a very welcoming thing to do.  We're not likely to go back...

We ate here tonight for the second time. The food was really great however , the rice was slightly hard and tasted like uncle Bens. Unfortunately, the service was where this restaurant really fell short. From the moment we walked in, the staff was unattentive and lacked basic courtesy—no greeting or acknowledgment, just silently led us to a table. When we paid, there wasn’t even a simple “thank you,” which made for an awkward end to the experience. The level of professionalism was shockingly low. At one point, the waiter dropped a fork while clearing another table; I picked it up to help, and he didn’t say a word or even make eye contact. On top of that, I observed a waitress wiping her nose on her sleeve, which raised concerns about hygiene. The service needs some serious improvements, but I alas I will return for the...
