Brilliant Restaurant 72-76 Western Road, Southall UB2 5DZ

"The food was fantastic. The best prawns I’ve ever had hands down! My waiter was amazing and he took the time to make sure I had everything I needed and even made a delicious recommendation, his name is Fernandes! The owner was also present and made the whole experience! Thank you so much I will be returning!!"

"Very sad I have to give such a rating. I travelled 2 hours to visit this restaurant as I felt the reviews were of good standard and the Instagram showing Gordan Ramsay/Royals visit was exciting. I made a booking through the website and when I arrived; although I had email confirmation no name was written down on the bookings list and everyone oblivious. Okay fine.. saw beyond this. The food was very spicy.. but enjoyed the butter chicken. Very disappointed at the end. Tables around us were all given hot towels as usual protocol at any restaurant but we were not given any. Felt like we were treated differently for no reason. Every person who comes to a restaurant should be treated the same. No differences should be shown. Then we asked the staff about the hot towels he said they had run out. Quite surprising that a well known restaurant would not stock up on such things to add to their service. Very disappointing. Maybe no one should have been given any hot towels on the day then. Before the owner's respond to this review saying "did you mention this to staff?" Yes. I did. I even mentioned the food was spicy and there was no response from the staff they just continued to do what they do. This was a very disappointing visit and such a waste of time and money. I do not recommend unfortunately. Too much hype and does not live up to expectations."

"Visited this Resturant after a number of years, and yes I can still recall my visits when they first opened! Food is great and still consistent, serving was good, I would suggest pre-booking for (weekend visits). Happy to recommend and will visit again."

"Visited recently with a group of friends having high expectations. Considering the price for the area and Brilliants reputation, I expected slightly more. Curries were ok, didn't really stand out versus other similar Southall eateries, starters were good. Service - was very quick and waiters were attentive, although I suspect they were extra motivated due to the turn around times in order to squeeze as many eat out to help out customers. Had to politely ask one of the waiters if he could keep his mask on whilst in the dining area speaking with customers - most of the other staff did adhere to this without being asked. It's wasn't a bad experience and we did enjoy the food - but just expected more given their reputation."
