Our experience at Silk Road was amazing. The food and quality was 5/5 stars. The different variety of options to choose from was amazing. Everything we had was delicious. We went whilst it was busy so we got table service where we got one of all of the most popular dishes and that was more than enough for me and my husband. We were able to comfortable stay within the restaurant for our 2 hour allocated time slot. We didn't feel rushed or like we were being pushed out which was very nice. We ordered other bits and pieces from the menu at the end and that really topped it off. Honorable mention to our host, we didnt get their name. They were amazing, lovely and all round the type of person whose restaurant you enjoy eating at. Definitely worth the price. Me and my husband will be back. Only photos we got because the food came out fast and we were hungry.
