"Booked this venue for a family party for 18. The whole process of booking and obtaining information was so easy. Everyone I spoke to was so helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. On the day the Carvery and desserts were excellent and Jamie and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and attentive. They even cut up our celebration cake and wrapped the slices so everyone could take it home! Just the best customer service for miles!"

"The food is really enjoyable. Some of the meat can be a bit dry in parts but generally speaking it's quite good. Is it better than what you'd get at the average chippy? Not for what it costs. Ordering two box meals and a couple of sides got the cost up to £50 with charges. Considering a large mixed meat in naan at my local chip shop is £7, it's incredibly expensive.There's far too much waste which really needs to be addressed. Every food item is at least two layers of packaging deep. With a box meal you have the outer corrugated cardboard box, then all dividers inside, then the kebab sandwich is in a box of its own, then it's in a foil wrapper, then it's in a paper wrapper. It's all needless waste and when we're all trying to be more conscious of our carbon footprint this just isn't required.There are some nice things that just aren't replicated elsewhere, their kebab bread is fantastic and very similar to a traditional Turkish pide. Their sauces are really good too. Full of flavour and balanced well with the meat but I will say there's never enough of it. Three little poxy pots is all you get.The fries are average. Nothing remarkable about them. The spicy fries are a tasty addition but this option does bump up the price but again, perfectly average.Overall I'd recommend that it's worth trying at least once but the prices are way over valued and quantity in some areas lack. If they cut down on all the needless packaging they could even bring the prices down but £15-20 for a box meal (one can of pop, one kebab sandwich, one fries and two spring rolls) it's a bit of a joke."

"First time trying this restaurant and I am pleased we chose it. The food was great the service was excellent the place felt comfy and welcoming. I will return. Parking: Parking is at the back of the restaurant. Don't park on asda. You only get 2 hours and will be fined. Wheelchair accessibility: As an ex wheelchair user, I would say its not 100% wheelchair friendly. I didn't go to the loo, so I can't comment on space or if a disabled loo. But, maybe call the restaurant and ask about wheelchair access. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Tikka Massala Sweet, Egg Fried Rice, Mango Chutney, Paneer Masala, Nan, Balti, Boiled Rice, Chips Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot"

"Been wanting to come here for a very long time after driving/walking past it, and my partner has wanted to come here since she’s moved here. Hand sanitizer upon arrival with track trace check in code. All the staff are very welcoming, friendly, helpful and all very masks. The lady we had who served us throughout our time (apologise I forgot her name began with A I think), she couldn’t have been anymore helpful. With a very wide range of food, she told us everything on the menu was very nice as she has tried everything! The decor of the restaurant is what I’d expect in a typical Italian restaurant, very rustic and has a feel of being in Italy. To start I had the belly pork with Jack Daniels sauce, I’ve never tried belly pork and it was so tasty and very tender. My other half had the goats cheese in filo pastry which was also very nice. For mains, I had the Risotto con salsiccia (spicy sausage, peppers, onions, garlic, tomato and chilli). It was so nice I’m glad it was a big portion as I wanted more! I don’t think the sausage was spicy but overall I was very impressed. Other half had a cheese chicken mushroom calzone which was also nice. We had a nice bottle of white wine which absolutely complimented the whole meal. For dessert I had sorbet and other half had a deep fried cannoli once again both really nice. Reasonable priced meal for two people, and very highly recommended. Plenty parking and we will be back soon with our family. Very authentic home cooked Italian food and Cafe Casita is way better than some of these chain restaurants!!"

"I had a lovely time the other night celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant for the first time in Dudley. We had to wait a bit at the entrance, which gave us a chance to watch the robots in action. I found them a bit odd, as the servers still had to walk alongside them, but they did have a few extra hands attached. The knock bread was fantastic, and I appreciated that it was already sliced when I arrived. I may have enjoyed my strawberry daiquiri a bit too quickly! The main course was nice, and I asked for extra food, though it probably wasn’t necessary. We left feeling quite full, but the cookie sandwich sounded delightful. It was a nice touch that they offered us a blue photo card when the bill was reduced by £17."
