Mr Rice & Mr Chips – The Ultimate “Two-in-One” Takeaway Solution
Located on Telford Street, Mr Rice is a fantastic spot for a Chinese takeaway, but its secret weapon is its sister shop, Mr Chips, right next door. For families who can never agree on what to eat, this is the perfect compromise.
The Food: Shredded Chilli Chicken & More
Mr Rice offers a modern, extensive menu that hits all the right notes for a classic Chinese night in.
The Star Dish: My personal recommendation is the Shredded Chilli Chicken. It’s consistently amazing—perfectly crispy with just the right amount of kick.
The Variety: If the kids are craving a standard chippy while you want noodles, you simply pop next door to Mr Chips for fresh haddock, sausages, or burgers.
Pro Tip: How to Combine Orders
The biggest convenience of this duo is that you can actually combine your order from both shops!
Online/App: They now have a collaborated website (and are on the Inverness Eats app) where you can order from both Mr Rice and Mr Chips in a single transaction. This means you only pay one delivery and service charge, and the whole family’s dinner arrives at the same time.
Call & Collect: If you are picking up, calling ahead for a “Combined Order” is highly recommended. It saves you from waiting in two separate queues during the peak weekend rush.
Logistics & Parking
Parking: This is the only real drawback. Telford Street is notorious for being difficult for parking, especially during the 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM rush.
The Solution: If you can’t find a spot right outside, delivery is your best friend. They cover a wide area of Inverness (and even the Black Isle for a small extra fee), and the food consistently arrives piping hot.
Final Verdict
Mr Rice is a solid 5-star Chinese takeaway on its own, but the partnership with Mr Chips makes it a local powerhouse. It’s reliable, the staff are efficient, and the ability to combine a “supper” with a “stir-fry” makes it an unavoidable—and very welcome—treat for any Inverness household.
