When my family I wanted to treat ourselves celebrate special occasions, Xian has been the place we would go we were never disappointed. We have made so many memories celebrated so much at Xian over the years. I am so pleased Xians is still going. We moved away in 1997 we still remember Xi’an as being our family favourite, (plus we stole an ashtray, because you could smoke in restaurants back in those days!-I know disgusting! and I still have it! My point is, it is our souvenir is in the same condition today as when we took it. (Sorry Xi’an! So they are obviously providing the same quality, day in, day out as they did for us nearly 30 years ago. They truly deserve celebrating! Regards, To Xi’an from The Jones’ Ps. Sorry we nicked your ash tray. xxx

Went there for lunch. Did not have to book. Nice decor, good food, fantastic and attentive staff, brilliant service!

The food is amazing!! The owner was such a lovely bloke as well! He made me and my wife very welcome. Highly recommended

My husband and I booked Xian for a Friday evening, just the two of us. The place was pleasantly busy but not overly crowded and we had a small table close to the rear of the restaurant. Our drinks were ordered straight away and the table already had prawn crackers to nibble on while you chose your meal. We were pleasantly surprised to be given glasses of iced water as well as our chosen drinks. The water was topped up over the duration of the evening as well. We chose a set meal C, and on asking for a substitution for one of the dishes, that wasn’t seen as a problem to change it. The mixed starters of prawn toast, ribs, spring rolls and satay chicken skewers were tasty and were served with two sauces and a finger bowl for any messy digits. The meal included crispy duck as a second starter with more than enough meat for the six pancakes that came with it. Service of the mains was prompt and hot and we found more than a match for our eventual stuffed bellies. To finish, we ordered a jasmine tea each which came in a pot with more than enough for several refills. The service was very attentive with drink re-orders timely offered and quick table service of your food but not feeling rushed or pushed out. The restaurant manager/host was a really friendly soul to all over the evening and he even offered us a free drink after having paid our bill. My husband accepted the brandy offered but I, being the night’s chauffeur, sadly, had to decline but a very nice touch on his part. The service was excellent and the food very good. Tonight was our first visit but will certainly not be our last.
