Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the chips, called "some of the best" by one and "delish" by another, alongside a sausage, chips and curry sauce order that one reviewer praised. Close behind are the chicken, described as really good and served fast, and the staff, whom several call friendly, polite and cheery, with some noting years of regular visits and cheap prices. A few mention free wings and a small table to eat at, though one calls the atmosphere a bit bad for a takeaway. The criticism is sharp but comes from a minority. One reviewer describes a chicken kebab full of gristle, a salad mixed so only onion and cucumber were left, chips that tasted reheated from the day before, and an upset stomach afterwards. Another says the chips and donner had no flavour and the chilli was basically water. The first also describes a server reluctant to get off his phone to take the order.

“The chicken was really good, and the service was also really good, they served the food fast. It's only the atmosphere that was a bit bad, but it's not that much of a problem. I mean, it's takeaway only so that could be the reason why.”

“Wouldn't recommend it at all... Food was not good quality l, chicken kebab was full of gristle. The salad is mixed so you have to make do with onion and cucumber if you want just lettuce... Chips tasted like they were made the previous day and reheated. I've also got the most upset stomach I've ever had. And service... Well he wasn't happy about getting off his phone to take my order ... Will not be going back.”
