Continentals — Restaurant in Burnley

Had a group evening meal here, my first time. The staff were very attentive, worked really hard making sure meals were promptly served, so great customer service 😀. I ordered the Egyptian Platter as a main, a wide variety of food's, it all tasted good, especially the fresh hummus & the falefal burger. Unfortunately I was disappointed with my main, the Pitta was overcooked & very chewy, I would have preferred 2 falafel burgers on my plate as they were only bite size, my cous cous was hardly to be seen, with more salad in the mix rather than the grains, the mozzarella cheese slices were so very thinly cut with only 3 small slices, & the feta cheese was only crumbs thrown onto salad.. I had hoped for a vibrant salad, it would have been better with the hummus in a small round dish in the middle therefore enabling more room on the plate for more food portions of each variety. I don't feel this was worth the price of £10.50, I wasn't full by the end, & feel the portions were very minimal on my plate.

The food is so good we all loved it and it was so tasty! However towards the end of the evening, we questioned a few things on the bill.

We were being looked at and laughed at. Up until then we would have returned as the food and restaurant itself is brilliant but the staff need to make sure they aren’t rude. We won’t be coming back as we didn’t feel welcome at all....

Vegan review:

Booked here at the last minute on a Saturday night! There were limited vegan options on the menu however it was clearly marked what could be made vegan. No vegan desserts though.

There was a mezzo to start and an Egyptian platter for main. Both very similar, I opted for the latter. I was able to substitute mozzarella for extra houmous and garlic bread! It also came with salad, cous cous, vegetables, pasta and pitta bread. Generous portion and reasonable prices! We noticed they do takeaway too.

The service was great and quick, the staff were lovely and accommodating, the food was delicious! I would give more stars but there wasn’t...
