Slow-cooked with deep flavour and an outstanding sauce, called authentic and a family favourite. Dissenters say it is not as good as it once was.

Well seasoned and flavourful, a benchmark order that diners call good value. Others find it middling and outscored by the rest of the table.

Buttery and flavourful at mild heat, and it travels well. Much of the record is the buffet line, where diners call the colour artificial, the chicken dry and the sauce over-creamed.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
