For this calibre of restaurant I would have thought they would use fresh hand cut chips not frozen, it puts the quality of the dish down. Everything else was really good. We will return.

I’ve been going to Encasa for years. It’s consistently great food and equally great friendly service. The garlic prawns are a speciality.
