New Lotus Carry Out

New Lotus Carry Out has served the village of Dreghorn, at the southern fringe of Irvine, for years. Dreghorn is a quiet residential community south of the A71, and New Lotus functions as its de facto Chinese takeaway — the kind of place locals know by name and return to on a weekly basis. Reviewers on Just Eat and Google regularly flag the salt and pepper chicken and the beef chow mein as the dishes to order, and portion sizes are described as generous across the board. It closes on Mondays, and operates on shorter hours mid-week than at weekends, so it rewards a quick check before turning up. A reliable neighbourhood Chinese that punches above the local competition.
