"We went to Wagamama Salisbury for lunch, having been quite a few times before but not for several months. I’m not sure what might have changed but it was a real disappointment. On the plus side, the service was reasonable and both the tata squid and hoisin duck buns were tasty and quick to the table. However, the tantoman beef ramen and grilled chicken ramen were both very bland with broth that I can only describe as tasting like school dinner gravy. Both were left less than half finished. Equally, the chicken and prawn pad Thai was quite greasy and again, bland with no spice heat at all. The dish was saved through the addition of lashings of soy sauce and chilli flakes at the table, but that shouldn’t have had to have been the case. Despite seeing the ramen bowls hardly touched, our server didn’t ask if all was okay, they simply cleared the table and reminded me that I could pay via an app. All of this coming in at a whisker shy of £70 as well, (yes £70 for three noodle dishes and some squid balls) left a very bitter taste in my mouth, pun intended. I won’t be back."

"The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the bruschetta starter which was fresh and full of flavor with perfect texture. All the dishes we tried were outstanding, but the standout was the half chicken with dips. While not the cheapest option, the quality of the food makes it reasonable value for money. However, our experience was marred by poor service - despite multiple attempts to get the attention of waitstaff, it took four of them to finally bring us a glass of house red during our main course. In contrast, the gentleman next to us received his glass of water within 30 seconds. This made us feel like second-rate customers and unfortunately, it overshadowed the excellent food. While we commend the chef, it's a shame that their hard work is let down by others. Despite this, our experience may not be typical and so I have left a rating of 4 stars."

"We had reserved for our wedding anniversary dinner for 7.30pm on a Sunday evening. On arrival, the table we were offered was not acceptable and we were reluctantly given a quieter, more suitable one. Service was initially prompt, knowledgeable and cheerful. The house wines by the glass were good value. Our starters, a cheese souffle and steak tartare, were excellent. My wife chose the beef bourguignon which was OK but my belly pork Cassoulet was disappointing. It was too dry, the sausage was tough and clearly not a typical Toulouse saucisson and there was a surplus of bread crouton. My dessert, an Almond financier, was superb. By about 9pm, the restaurant was nearly empty and our waitress was replaced by a scruffily dressed manager who clearly wanted to close as soon as possible which gave a disappointing feeling to the end our meal. I would recommend this restaurant but advise against a late Sunday reservation and to try to book a table as close to the river as possible!"

"Lovely Turkish restaurant located around the corner from Salisbury train station. Quite quiet on a Saturday evening, but service was nice. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was lovely- and received a bowl of pitta bread before starters, but would have loved additional bowls of bread with a variety of dips. Meals came in a good timely manner after starters and portion sizes was adequate. Lovely tender pieces of meat, halloumi was delicious. Rather expensive though, chips could not be substituted for rice. Would return but too pricey. Thankyou"

"We have been to Anokaa before and always enjoyed the food. This time was no exception and we were able to introduce our friends to it, and I’m sure we will all be back. It was very quiet, being the first Sunday of the New Year, but the service was excellent and the food very special. Thank you"
