Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise the tasty food, with shawarma at the center, including the mixed and lamb versions and a regular order of "the Shiish". The chicken wings and a chicken burger draw separate praise, and several reviewers say the value for money is good. Delivery gets repeated credit for being fast, and diners describe friendly staff and a refurbished shop that suits both eating in and takeaway. The main complaint comes from two reviewers who found the lamb and chicken dry and hard. One of them also reports it arrived cold and late, and that their stomach felt unsettled afterward. That reviewer suggests cooking fresh meat when stock has been sitting. Even in those reviews, the salad was crisp and the flat bread was nice. One regular singled out the tray with everything separated as the touch that made their evening.

“Just ordered and my stomach feels a bit unsettled. The food was very hard and so dry so I can tell it has been sitting there awhile. The lamb and chicken was cold, hard and dry. Maybe this was because of the time we ordered but as paying customers I would advise if the food has been sitting around just cook some fresh. (As you have a previous review stating the same thing). Delivery was late too, but I will blame deliveroo as this restaurant had to use their own driver. Overall, the presentation of the food was good. I could imagine if the food was fresh then it could have potential. But for what I received I will rate it 2.5 out of 5. Would I order here again, probably not.”
