Cafe Delight Restaurant — Restaurant in Erewash

We googled heavily the local restaurants of the highest quality reviews before visiting here. Unfortunately, myself and my friends were sorely disappointed.

Dish 1 and 2 (The King Size Burger): The burger arrived looking lush and juicy. Unfortunately though we were only provided with one burger patty instead of two. The kitchen staff rectified this. Tucking into the burger was like eating a bowl of grease. I'm all up for a greasy meal but this was like drinking pure burger fat. The chips however, we delightful and cooked to perfection.

Dish 3 (Fish, Chips and Peas): The fish came out burnt and the lettuce tasted like urine. The peas had gone passed the sell by and were heavily overcooked. My friend only managed a few bites before retching and vowing to never eat here again. Once again however, the chips were wonderful.

Dish 4 (Steak and Onion Pie): There was no pie! They had run out. But that's okay we changed the order to Sheppard's Pie. We were instead served with a few slices of what can only be described as lamb jerky with copious amounts of mashed potatoes. Sent it back! They then gave us cheap chicken nuggets and chips which were just about bearable to consume.

General aesthetics: Air filled with grease and a tatty style. Looks to have been once an incredible cafe but is now run down and in need of some refurbishment. The open plan kitchen is really nice to see apart from when you catch the chef's dismal cooking style.

Staff: The waitresses were wonderful and met our every demand. However, when asked if we could have the prices lowered due to poor food and a ruined lunch, we were told no. We then had to barter with the chef (who didn't even speak English so communication was limmited) in order to pay only £20.00 for four meals that were all sent back and barely consumed, when the finally got the orders right.

I would highly recommend steering away from this disgusting restaurant, if you want food. The cans of coke however, were flavoured...

Threatened and intimidated by the owner! Been in this eatery by myself, I've ordered a simple fish and chips and bottle of water, everybody was eating and I was the only customer to serve, wasn't busy either, two tables sat after me and they been served before me. Fine I didn't complained, I work in hospitality and i know mistakes happens. after 45 minutes waiting finally I get my food but the waiter had his thumb into the coleslaw. I told him I didn't want to eat it because of that and he denied everything on my face. Couldn't wait again for another one since my bus was due in 10 minutes. Kindly I've asked to pay just for my water and leave, guess what fellas! The owner "chef" approached to me threatening and start to shout on my face intimidating me and trying to extort me £10.50 for a 500ml bottle of water threatening to call the police if I wouldn't pay for cross contaminated food I didn't have. The dude claimed to give him my name, harassed and intimidated wanted to pay by card but the owner claimed cash only. Scandalous and shocking! My lawyer will be in touch. luckily coincidence a guy who I met on bus asked why i didn't called the police telling me he...

Lovely place, they try there hardest they really do. Always greet you, friendly, fast and overall cheap and cheerful. Please, and I can't stress this enough only order stuff they understand how to make.

I think they're greek here so anything like cheese on toast, or burgers you will be disappointed with as they use horrible fake cheese slices and tiny buns, however stay safe with stuff like Paninis, Jackets and roast dinners and you'll be more than happy. I guess they're still learning how to make some of the english cafe classics, its hit and miss

But yeah the price, you will be full for £3, every meals if chosen comes with a massive full salad, salad done right with eveything and a HOMEMADE COLESLAW, being Mediterranean, they nail the coleslaw and is perfect with the salad.

I always tip, just stick away from the 'special burger' and you...
