This is a very popular & therefore busy restaurant. The food was good but the service was a little off: not all of our dishes arrived when ordered. They were also keen to move us on to make room for more customers. My suggestion would be to book for a 90 minute slot so that you don't feel rushed.

As always Silk Road was absolutely fantastic - they were so helpful and accommodating and assisted with my every question and wish including storing and serving my sizeable birthday cake the day before. The food was outstanding as always and I always enjoy coming here with my friends. Thank you Jay and all the lovely staff who work there. I will see you soon.

Food is great and exceptionally good value. The service, however is pretty terrible. We ordered small plates, then larger ones after. Before our large plates arrived, we were told they would need the table back soon. We responded that we were still waiting for a dish, to which the server said we shouldn't have ordered it so late - this was the first we had heard about this deadline. He then blamed his own colleague for not warning us. It came in the end but that interaction left a sour taste. Maybe just get takeaway as the food is brilliant.

The food was simply excellent and the prices were really friendly. Two small minuses: despite the reservation, we had to wait about ten minutes before getting the table, and the noise level in the restaurant was quite high. Of course, it came from happy customers, so can you really blame the restaurant?
Highly recommended!

The food and the service was great. We enjoyed our time in Silk Road.
The only thing that needs improvement is the toilet. With plenty of customers coming in and out, the toilet needs to be cleaned more and tapped up with washing soap and tissue. Apart from that, the whole experience is great.

Felt a bit rushed. When I come to a restaurant I want to sit and chat with my friends. But the food came out basically as soon as handed back the menu. Maybe this is the type of service? I don't know.
Also, the restaurant is very hot. I think they might need better air-conditioning or ventilation.

Hey, we love you guys very much.
Of course we have noticed the portion sizes getting smaller (due to inflation & other factors I'm sure/understand). However we personally would prefer for the prices to increase and the portions to remain the same as before.
