Oriental Express

This Oriental Express on Madrid Road — a separate business from the Stoughton Road branch — has been serving Guildford since 2006, building a solid reputation for Chinese food and speedy delivery over nearly two decades. The menu covers a wide range of regional Chinese-influenced dishes alongside some English options, with crispy chilli beef, chicken and cashew nuts, and salt-and-pepper ribs appearing regularly in positive customer reviews. Closed Tuesdays; the kitchen runs other evenings with delivery covering the GU2 postcodes as the primary service. Madrid Road is a quiet residential street behind the university campus, well-placed for the Onslow Village and Park Barn areas and the mature family streets that run between the campus and the A3. Online ordering is available via the restaurant's own website.
