Dragon i operates as a classic Chinese takeaway tucked into the busy stretch of Warwick Road in Acocks Green. It’s the kind of spot that fits well into the rhythm of local life here—easy to pop into for a quick pick-up or to arrange a delivery that keeps dinner hassle-free.

The takeaway focuses on familiar Chinese dishes and, judging by regular customer experiences, tends to deliver consistently hot and flavorful food. The portions lean generous, making it a practical choice for families or anyone who likes a substantial meal without the fuss of dining out. Popular picks like crispy lemon chicken, spring rolls, and egg fried rice stand out as reliable staples, alongside occasional treats like banana fritters for dessert.

While Dragon i’s setup is straightforward—no dine-in atmosphere to speak of—the efficiency and friendliness of the staff add a layer of ease to the experience. The takeaway’s own delivery service, which requires cash on delivery, offers a more affordable alternative to pricier third-party apps, though it’s good to be aware of this preference ahead of ordering.

This place particularly suits locals looking for a quick, no-nonsense Chinese fix, especially on weekday evenings or weekend nights when settling in at home feels best. Customers regularly note the food arriving fresh and presented neatly, so there’s a clear effort to keep quality consistent despite the takeaway format.

In the context of Acocks Green, Dragon i slots into the neighborhood as a dependable, local convenience rather than a destination eatery—perfect for anyone wanting a hot, tasty meal without venturing far. If you’re after a casual takeaway where polite service meets familiar flavours and generous portions, it’s a straightforward option worth considering.

We order a delivery regularly and it’s always excellent. We usually have Crispy Lemon Chicken, vegetable spring rolls, soft noodles and egg fried rice. (We sometimes have Crispy Duck with pancakes as well.) For dessert we have banana fritters. Food is nicely presented and always very tasty. The portions are very generous too.

My first experience tonight and was pleasantly surprised , very fresh hot and tasty . I looked at ordering on line but the price of delivery and extra cost per item put me off . I picked up, but had to pay cash which was fine , they advised they do delivery themselves but it’s cash on delivery, which is useful to know and cheaper than the food apps .

Anytime I have a Chinese I order from Dragon I. They never fail to deliver hot, fresh & tasty food that is presented well and in a timely manner. Has to be my favourite takeaway restaurant
