Oriental Express

Oriental Express on Stoughton Road has built a formidable reputation as one of Guildford's best-rated takeaways, sitting in the top twenty on Restaurant Guru with over three thousand customer ratings averaging four stars. The menu is unusually wide for a neighbourhood operation: Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes sit alongside one another, taking in chicken and cashew nuts, Thai green curry, gyoza-style starters and the ever-popular crispy chilli beef and salt-and-pepper ribs. The website allows online ordering for delivery or collection. The kitchen closes on Tuesdays; other evenings delivery runs across the north Guildford postcodes. Stoughton Road leads north from the town centre into a settled residential area between the city and the Surrey border, giving the kitchen a year-round local base that supplements the University of Surrey student trade a short distance to the south.
