Really lovely ambience in this restaurant, very good, friendly, professional service from the wait staff, and couldn't fault the food at all. Good gluten free variety and apparently can ask for dairy free cheese too. Will be back!

Love going to Ponte. The staff are friendly and courteous and always make us feel welcome - whether 2 of us or a big group. They also serve gluten free pasta and pizza which is great. The food is scrummy and its always a great night out here

Only 3 stars… this is why: Pros: - kids friendly (kids menu, kids seats) - drawings/activity sheet whilst waiting for order - friendly staff particularly with kids, asked if we had any food allergy - nice music - kids friendly and reusable plates However many cons: - hygiene issue with self service area for salads (uncooked foo). It’s an health hazard, kids and anybody can serve themselves and it’s opened to any body sneezing into the salad (an unwelcome topping), notwithstanding the serving spoons that used by many hands (some probably not very hygienic) - staff is friendly and welcoming however they missed out an item on our menu and we did eventually get it after noticing this. Customers are left to order via their phone, which in my opinion is very robotic (loosing a bit of personal touch) - food, was ok but kids’ menus are very tiny so not appropriate for bigger kids only found out after ordering via our phone perhaps if they did offer to take order directly via waiting staff they could have told us this, hence 3 for food and service. - deco, needs updating roof decor is literally falling apart (view pictures) -hence 3 for atmosphere. I was glad my kids were not a big fan of the ice cream, again due to hygiene issues. The sauce of the GOAT pizza was a little too sweet (almost felt like eating a sweet dish rather than a savory dish) but was glad to have tried the gluten free base, it was very nice. We still had an enjoyable evening but was a bit disappointed, felt like going to a pizza version of a Macdonald, perhaps my view that Pizza Hut was bit more upmarket compared to Macdonald is actually wrong. You pay premium price for product and services as cheap if not cheaper than in a Macdonald.

We went to the restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Loved the place, the ambiance and the atmosphere. The food is excellent, I loved the pizza and my wife loved her Salmone pasta. They also catered for my daughter who is dairy and gluten intolerant. Will definitely revisit and highly recommended if you haven’t been there yet.

Best fish and chips for miles - also do gluten free batter on request (phone ahead)

Ordered gluten-free fish and chips for all my party even though only one of us needs it but thought it would just make things simpler. I have to say we, on regular non-gf diets, found absolutely no difference in taste or quality and in fact we were able to rate our meal as one of the best fish and chip experiences we've had. We all agreed... crisp, fresh and non-greasy... massive portions, chips with actual flavour, and both lemon and a portion of delicious home-made tartar sauce (I'm not usually a fan but this made me a convert for the real deal) all included in the very reasonable price. Super friendly, polite service topped it off. Our new go-to place!

Ordered a salmon lunch box with wild rice, salad, squash etc at the stall on Surrey Street Market. This was the best food I have eaten anywhere in a very long time. Flavours were amazing, produce was good quality and I think it’s a bargain for what it cost and compared to some restaurants which serve average food for high prices. Seriously can’t wait to come back and get some more. The lady who served me was really nice and as im gluten free talked me through all the ingredients, none of which had gluten in. Hugely recommend this food. It was divine and so healthy at the same time. It was so so good!

This is by far one of the best place that mixes middle eastern culture along with the european one and brings you very tasty delicious food! They also have gluten free and vegan food so you don't have an reason not to try it! Their food is so tasty!

I just wanted to say how tremendously impressed we were with the biriyani order. Both dishes (veg and chicken) were absolutely delicious, clearly freshly made, full of flavour and extremely well wrapped and presented so beautifully.There was also important reassurance regarding dishes being reliably gluten free. Thank you ever so much for both your and your colleagues professionalism with this order and its execution. It really made our event so special.

Excellent service provided by Nando’s Valley leisure park. Ana (manager) , Aden, Gabriella and serving staff were extremely helpful and very co-operative. Ana was very understanding and kept an eye on the dietary requirements (gluten intolerance) for my daughter. She exceeded my expectations in every way. On previous occasions all managers have been outstanding. All staff are always exceptional in ensuring food , service and atmosphere is met with high standards. Thankyou very much!
