Very enjoyable experience. First off we came here because Nando's had an outrageous wait time, and we are glad we came here. We ordered the corn rib elite, and boy was it delicious and displayed very well. We also had the Mexican poppandado, blue corn chip nachos with dip, and everything was very good. Me and my wife split the taco platter and had cauliflower, beef, and chicken. The platters cauliflower was phenomenal and the rest of the meats were decent. Only complaint was platter was small, I think 1 person could eat it all and be fine. My father ordered some spicy chicken and he said the spice had him sweating. Blue light discount is offered here. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. We will defiantly come back, maybe not this one since we live in Lincoln.

Good good in restaurant waste of time trying to order through deliverioi their payment app never works ,,,declines my card every time and I have a lot if money in my bank ,you have lost so much money from myself over the past few months. ,,none of my friends or family order any longer as they all have the same problem so won't be visiting your restaurants Again either due to your poor service

Uber eats delivery, got 2 burrito bowls, DIY nachos and churros (Uber meal deal), the bowls were a bit small but still very tasty and the nachos and churros were really good. I’d order from here again

Very nice place to eat, the restaurant is nice, clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.The decor is very nice and quite relaxing.We had two curry style dishes, thought that it would be be a little more entertaining. The taste was not as exciting as was expected.Very nice meal and great service .

I so wanted to love this place when it opened in Friars Walk. I made it a point to be the first place I visited.First visit, took my in-laws and confidently told our guests they'd be able to order dairy free here, no problem. Waiter said "No, the burritos are already rolled." What?! I hadn't been before and I didn't want to cause a fuss so I believed him but I was confused. Isn't this what Las Iguanas are known for?My father in law also didn't want to cause a fuss so ended up eating something with cheese in, which although he isn't vegan, he doesn't like it. I asked what was available without dairy and the waiter pointed something out which could be made vegan but didn't offer me the dairy free menu, which at this point I didn't know to ask for.So first visit was a very expensive meal with two people out of four paying to eat something they didn't really want. Not to mention I was slightly embarrassed having been the one to choose the place because I believed we'd all be able to get something we liked here.I contacted head office who apologized and wanted to make amends by offering a discount to return, only 25% off. After the fact, I realised they often give this sort of discount for various promotions, it wasn't anything special, not much of a compensation at all.As I said, I really wanted to like it here so I took up the offer and on the following visit they did get everything right and we had an enjoyable evening. Great. All is forgiven, right?Wrong. The subsequent three visits they took my order where I expressly and emphatically asked for the vegan version, and each and every time my food was delivered covered in cheese. Each time, I noticed before I started eating and returned it.To be fair, they did refund me the cost of the food and replace the food, which I thought was good the first time, but got sick of having to sit and watch the rest of my party eat whilst they went off and sorted mine out. Then others had to wait for me to eat my replaced meal which, of course, came out after everyone else had finished. Spoils the whole dining out experience having to send food back every time.Each time I have fed this back to head office who have referred it to the branch manager. They say all the right things but since the service didn't improve after giving them so many chances, I was left with no choice but to stop eating here. What a shame.This branch not recommended for vegans. Or if you do have to eat here, make sure you see them press the 'vegan' button when taking your order. Apparently this is all they have to do.
