Had a meal there on Saturday after going to the cinema (about 1 min from restaurant). Food was excellent. Really flavorsome. Though they had made a mistake when we got the bill. Seamed really cheap but was correct!! Will return when next in Carlisle.

Just been the Royal Outpost in Carlisle, all I can say is it was absolutely fantastic, food was great, staff were very helpfull, attentive and friendly. After the starter course my missus said we will be back again soon, she doesn't do food too spicy, while I have chillies with everything (well almost); the selection is good, but the staff... More

We were staying in the area travelled down from Suffolk. We booked a meal here for the Thursday night & had a lovely meal. Friendly, helpful & chatty staff, tasty delicious food & good wine. Fab. We enjoyed it so much we returned the next evening for a lighter meal. Would definitely recommend going here when in the area.

The meal was delicious, the service was excellent and friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. We were brought the wrong starter, we wanted the sharing platter with prawns. This was pointed out and before we had finished,... More

Visited recently and was very impressed. The staff were very good; very polite and attentive. Service was quick but not rushed. The food itself was very good indeed. Portion sizes just right and very tasty. I went from the Malaysian menu and enjoyed it very much. Will be visiting again!

Located above a pub it was hard to find. We made a booking online but the restaurant was not aware of this. However we were seated. The staff was lovely and the menu had many choices, especially if you would like something healthy and tasty! The food was delicious and made a nice change if you are tired of British... More

just got back from this restaurant and it deserves a great review. the menu is so different plus they will tailor the dishes to your taste. I asked for hot and spicy and mine was perfect. the room is spacious and everywhere is spotlessly clean, service friendly but not intrusive. the drinks are reasonable. the Malaysian dishes are new to...
