Ordered a takeaway which so awful we had to put it in the bin, but worst of all we were offered a £20.00 refund which we never got and the manager denied all knowledge so I think the disingenuous way we were treated was even worse than the food!

Chingford Paya cuisine

Chingford. Food ok, delivery driver said he had no change, tendered £40.00, bill was £38.50. I said I would pay by card, his app did not work. He eventually returned to his car and returned surprisingly with my change. I don't like people trying to con me. First and last order from them.

Paya Radlett - Delicious!

This is the 3rd time I have ordered from Paya Radlett and think it's one of the nicest I've had.

Food always is great, tasty and hot. Have had the prawn pad Thai, the dumplings are yum and the mixed veg soup is amazing.

There is a wide choice of dishes and having the ability to pay with your card when it arrives is great.

Will order again soon!

Thanks Guys!

Lovely food.

We had food delivered from the Sidcup branch and it was lovely, fresh, hot and very tasty. It came quicker that expected too.

Paya Cuisine Radlett awful food

The food we had delivered from the Radlett branch was awful we threw 95% of it it the bin as it was inedible. They said they would refund my money bu they haven’t and they have not answered my emails or the review I posted on their feed back. I cannot find a phone number for their head office so if anyone has it please post on this site for me.

Their customer service is as bad as their food absolutely awful.

Paya are thieves who take your money but refuse your order

Last Friday evening I made an online order with Paya’s Brixton branch when the website said it was open. A while later I received an email saying my order had been refused because the branch was closed. Not only that, but THEY STILL TOOK MY MONEY (£58). They will not apologise and are making me fight to get my money back which I still have not received three days later. Not only that but when I finally prised a contact phone number for their head office out of Paya’s live chat so I could try and get my money back they gave me a FALSE PHONE NUMBER...!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM PAYA THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES.

I wanted to place an order online and the website wasn't working so I rang them. After I said to the guy what I wanted he said my order was £62 but on the website it was £46. Poor customer service and they are asking for more money when you call.

There needs to be a zero star rating

There needs to be a zero star rating.

I used to love this place. However, the website doesn’t work and so I went through uber eats for the first time. The food was late - I put that down to the restaurant. The food turned up and the order was wrong. I was told I was mistaken. They then told me to take it up with uber eats. Now I’ve paid for broccoli and chicken with no chicken and prawn wontons with no prawns. It’s £35 for rice and broccoli. They put the phone down on me and didn’t believe me when I said the wontons had no prawn. They accused the driver of stealing the food!

The worst food and service I’ve ever experienced. Avoid.

1 star because I couldn’t give 0

1 star because I couldn’t give 0. Vile customer service, cold, disgusting food and half an hour late. I have never before called a restaurant and had the staff member lie to me and then argue with and shout at me. Wish I had read these reviews before ordering. Absolutely never again.

Ordered via app

Ordered via app, an hour later still waiting. Called Brixton branch who denied any knowledge of order. Said it was via app, provided order no., details and payment had gone through. Argued there was no order and then relented (????) and took order over the phone. Another hour later, the wrong food order arrived. Called Brixton branch again. They were so rude and refused to take any responsibility for their cock ups and left us with food we didn't want, hadn't ordered and didn't send what we actually paid for.Will NEVER use them again. Horrible experience. AVOID THEM.

Rickmansworth, delivery awful

Rickmansworth. The same theme as everyone else by the look of the reviews. OK food, dreadful service. Every time you order it says 15-20 mins, every time that ends up being an hour plus. Who wants to eat a huge Chinese meal at 9:30. Never again.

Never order online from this company

Never order online from this company. They add you to their text message mailing list and refuse to take you off - I have called them 3 times and also tried to unsubscribe by text. Their food is pretty average too.

Dagenham branch is absolutely awful as is the website. Ordered food at 5:50pm and it arrived at 9:30. Staff very rude on the phone. Please avoid, it is horrendous! Want to complain to head office but surprise surprise there is no contact details! Don’t waste your money!!!
