Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Solid food, but the service might test your patience.

Old Talbot is one of those places that shines on a midweek night when you’re just looking for a decent meal. Kirstie found it to be a cozy spot with great decor and even better food—especially the boneless mix grill that blew her away. It seems to be a favorite for a reason, with a menu full of delicious curries and Indian tapas that had Andrew raving. The vibe is relaxed, and the service was top-notch, with attentive staff making sure everyone had a good time.

But let’s not sugarcoat it; some folks like Surjit had a run-in with less-than-great service, which might leave a sour taste in your mouth. While the food is solid and the atmosphere is lovely, just be prepared for some service that could be more consistent. Overall, it’s a nice choice for a laid-back dinner, as long as you don’t mind a few bumps along the way.
