"We visited our favourite Indian restaurant in St Helens to celebrate our son and his girlfriend returning from their holiday to celebrate his 21st birthday. We hadn't booked, it was a last minute request when we picked them up from the airport. We were accommodated thankfully and an unexpected fuss was made of my son! Completely unorganised but welcome none the less. I am a creature of habit but my husband, son and girlfriend are not. They ordered the mango chichen, chicken tikka balti, chicken tikka chilli and I, of course the chicken tikka madras. All chicken dishes were so moist, aromatic and delicious. The starters, lamb samosas, so tasty and crispy, mixed kebab and onion bajhis to die for and the onion rice, mushroom pilau rice, my favourite were so deliciously fresh, fluffy even were a wonderful addition to our meal. We requested extra coriander with both selected meals and naan breads, which I would highly recommend by the way and were so much appreciated. I'd not mentioned it was my son's birthday when making a last minute booking, I'd only just picked them up from the airport, but, the staff were amazing, reserved us a table on a Saturday night, and during our conversation at the table, delivered our son a delicious dessert to say Happy Birthday! We don't have a lot of time together as a family, but, when we do we try to make it count, and whether it's a takeaway or a sit down, the Millon is ALWAYS our go to place for the best Indian in St Helens. If you've not been before, give these guys a go! I tell you, you'll go back again and again!!!"

"Visited here recently on a Sunday for a birthday meal with family and sat in the conservatory which is spacious and bright. The Sunday menu is a small selection of roast dinners and a few other meals such as Cumberland sausage, vegetable lasagna and pie of the day. I found the Sunday menu particularly disappointing in terms of selection compared to other days. There was a small selection of specials on the day. I ordered salt pepper chicken starter, which came as 4 chicken goujons in a kind of sweet chilli sauce with onions, small salad and single prawn cracker. My wife ordered garlic breaded mushrooms which came with a white sauce on the side. Both starters were tasty, and a decent size costing around £7/£8 each. For mains I got the chicken roast dinner, which was a small chicken breast, 2 roast potatoes, a lump of mashed potato, a small ramekin of stuffing and lots of gravy. Vegetables come in shared bowls, which doesn't tend to work well for large tables. I ended up without any at my end of the table, when asked for more was told that enough was on the table and no more would be brought out. One bowl was brought closer which is fine but it wasn't what I expected to hear when paying £15 for a meal. I'd prefer vegetables to be served on the plate. My wife got a sweet potato curry pie and chips from the specials menu which she enjoyed. We personally didn't order any desserts but there looked to be a large selection priced around £6.50 each. Other people on the table who ordered them were pleased with their selections. The young staff members waiting on were pleasant, helpful, and did a great job managing multiple tables. Overall I enjoyed the starter, the main was ok but I would have expected better for the price. I personally would like to see more choices on the Sunday menu."

"Got to the farm with friends and our kids for a lovely day out and was very disappointing. There were hardly any animals for the kids to see on comparison to the greenslate farm in billinge we went to a few days ago. Then we...went to the cafe as it was very hot to get some lunch and ice cream for the kids. Got told no ice cream so we said jokingly ok well do you have done sort drinks with ice, that will do us and got told no we don't do ice. Strange. But anyway we sat down for lunch and ordered food and drinks. First bad sign was the dirty cup they tried to give my friend which still had coffee in it from the last person who had drank it, and the fact they assumed I didn't want milk in my tea so I had to share my boyfriend's. Anyway 40 mins later we are still waiting for our food despite asking about it twice. The food was two bowls of chips, a breakfast barm and I got mushroom stroganoff off the specials board, noone of which should take that long. That prompted my friend who had been waiting 40 mins for two bowls of chips for her and her daughter to complain. The lady who was very lovely then apologised and said it was because they are very busy, and gave us a free soft drink each. Had they been the end we would have been satisfied with this remedy as she had gone out her way for us. However when the food did come we were again upset. My boyfriend's barm was slightly burned, the chips were actually fries that tastes of chip fat and worst of all the mushroom stroganoff that i paid £7 for was actually a very very small bowl of mushrooms in a bit of a liquid sauce. And a small bread roll with no butter.i am not exaggerating that was it. Not even a bit of an onion or rice or anything. Me and my fella only had £20 for the whole weekend and it was just wasted and I hadn't seen my friend for a long time so was really embarrassed that everyone was complaining even her five old daughter. I have to say as well the lady I mentioned before was lovely the whole way through and seemed sad we had a bad experience. However the other waitress had a bit of an attitude as well which is terrible. My boyfriend asked this one, excuse me, that's not stroganoff, it's a bowl of mushrooms. She replied with did it not have a sauce I should go into the business of seeking mushrooms and water for seven quid I would make a killing. Don't remember the last time I've been that upset with somewhere I have been compelled to leave a bad review."
