Customer Review Summary
Kebab and donner meals with chips draw the most mentions. Some diners call the donner full of flavour, and one describes a small mix meat and chips as a generous portion with juicy meat. Others praise the fish as crispy outside and soft inside, and one describes a lamb curry with so much melting lamb and chips that were crisp and hot. Several mention quick, friendly service from the guy at the front. Complaints are just as specific and nearly as frequent. Reviewers describe chicken and wings that arrived cold, dry, or burnt, chips that were soggy, bland, or frozen, a lamb curry box leaking oil, and fish that did not taste fresh. Two reviewers report stomach pain afterwards, one reports finding a tooth in the food, another mentions a dirty table, and one says a replacement pizza came with hair on it. Some regulars say quality has slipped. Still, one reviewer recalls the shop remembering that a delivery driver had left two bags behind and handing over the missing items on the next visit.

“I've been coming here for a long term and have always been served top quality food. Always warm and fresh and at a good price. Really nice atmosphere and staff, would recommend”

“Bought the mixed grill (£11.99) and the large donor meal (£6) and was really disappointed. The price's are decent but the quality isn't there - really is get what you pay for. We ate in and the chicken on the mixed grill when served didn't taste fresh - was cold and greasy, like it hadn't had long enough to heat up. The kebab was similar - not hot, just warm and the chips were good but didn't taste fresh. Also, the portion size felt off? I bought the large donor which was served on a plate and didn't look like a lot and, after not eating much and taking away, it just about fit the medium takeaway box. The food should've came with two portions of salad (one for the grill and the other for the kebab) and there was only one plate. And the grill didn't come with a bottle of drink but a can. Won't be coming back, which is a shame as it used to be one of our regulars.”

“Horrible food , first time I ordered food was good I think because I was a new customer , started ordering again and food was burnt , cold and stiff nasty . Finally I complained about it being burnt and hard , and got pizza with hair in it , burnt even more , cold and horrible . Never ordering again - they need to appreciate that people pay money to buy this junk , can’t be doing this taking from other people’s pockets and just to fill yours . In return we get human hair in food , burnt cold pizza and god knows what else I haven’t noticed . Should be ashamed as a business yet calling yourselves hajees is an insult . Please don’t waste your money here guys all the good reviews are from people they personally know it either new customers only .”

“I went to the takeaway and the owner charged me 38 pound for food I ordered and I had paid but he charged me it 3 times when I went to explain the owner came out and said to me u have to pay 3 times please don’t go here this place is a scam”
- Musarat Nazir
“Good quality food, always delivered hot and fresh. The shop is consistently busy, which says a lot about their popularity. On one occasion a Just Eat driver forgot to take both bags of my order. The shop remembered this and, on my next visit, gave me the remaining items without hesitation. That level of customer care shows they value loyalty. They now make sure everything is bagged together and that the driver leaves with the full order. Excellent service.”
