Mei Lai Cantonese Take Away

Mei Lai Cantonese Takeaway on Exeter Road is a well-established Chinese operation in Dawlish, the Victorian seaside town where Brunel's coastal railway runs directly along the sea wall beneath the town's lawned gardens — one of the most dramatic stretches of mainline railway in England. The takeaway kitchen is visible behind an open counter, which reviewers appreciate as a signal of freshness and cleanliness. Popular dishes include the special curry and the fried rice, and the Cantonese menu covers a wider range than many rural takeaways. Exeter Road is convenient for those arriving by train at Dawlish station, a short walk to the west.
