Daffodil’s — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

I had high expectation going into this restaurant as the reviews seemed pretty positive. However, I have to say I was disappointed. I went with my wife and youngest and felt a liitle annoyed by the experience. As to the reasons I will outline them below.

First the positives,

The free starter soup was good. It was lentil and had a rich flavour. Additionally, the chicken wings from the share platter we ordered were good as was the chicken kebab and Bulgar. The service was swift too and for the most part polite.

However, the rest was just ok and in some cases sub par, especially the ribs and hummus starter which was really lacking in flavour and really thick, which made it difficult to swallow, as it stuck to the insides of the mouth.

My little one had half chicken and rice, but what the menu should have said was lemon chicken and rice as the taste of lemon was so overpowering that my son would not eat it. Fortunately I like lemon so I ate it instead, so as to not waste, but it was a little too much even for me. It seemed that some of the chips had ninja qualities too and had the ability to hide from the cooking oil, meaning they were delivered pretty much white and raw. Impressive really.

It was also a little worrying that any exposed flesh stuck to the table when I leant on it..I know this is how some flesh eating plants capture prey, but you don't expect that from a wooden table in a restaurant. Clearly wiping down the tables is not necessarily a priority and don't get me started on the toilets.

I did also witness a funny event when paying for the meal. Another customer was ordering a salad mix box and giving instruction to the person serving him to stop with one on the items. This fell on deaf ears and he ended up with three additional scoops, listening did not seem to be a skill in some of the staff members repertoire 🙄😂 The poor customer just accepted the order and went about his way.

All in all the food was not bad, just decidedly average and as such I would not...

went in, place was easy to find with decent parking lot.

staff welcoming and the seating area inside is very spacious! it’s a place for family gatherings, quick catchups and chilling alone for a nice meal!

my colleagues and I came here and were not let down, staff very hospitable and I knew kurdish restaurants do not disappoint from my previous experiences.

upon arrival as in kurdish tradition, lentil soup they give and this was the best lentil soup i’ve had in a kurdish restaurant where the lentils are properly blended down into a smooth silky texture rather than you can taste the unblended pieces.

we ordered: mixed grill for 1 with chips x3 prawn grill for 1 with chips x1 falafel (comes in 4 or 8) baba ganoush (to die for) lamb samosas (very delicious) fresh juice (orange juice that is freshly squeezed) olives

also ask them to bring their sauces: garlic mayo, mayo, chilli (tangy and spicy)

we rated all the food 10/10 all over and will happily come there...

Went to Wolverhampton to spend the day with my daughter and she wanted to pop Daffodil's restaurant for a bite to eat. There was ample parking in car park and I noticed there was a wheelchair ramp too giving accessibility to customers with a disability. Walked into the restaurant and was met by a friendly gentleman who guided the four of us to the family room, handed us some menus and left us to decide our orders. Was served with complimentary lentil soup which was delicious. We ordered the humous which was fresh and served with olives and a fresh piping hot nan bread. We also ordered the family platter 2 which was served with various meats along with couscous and 2 different rice's. The meat was tender fresh and full of flavour. I found the ribs a bit too rubbery, apart from that I found my whole experience as really good, from entering to service to the food. I will be attending again in near future. If you haven't tried Daffodil's I would...
