Customer Review Summary
The smash burger draws repeated praise, with one reviewer returning to it three times in a week for its taste and pickle topping, and it sits alongside the mixed grill, peri fries, and a complimentary starter of chicken wings that one visitor called a standout. Close behind, diners repeatedly single out the half chicken and the naans as top-tier, with the chicken described as moist and generously portioned. Food is consistently described as fresh, hot, and well-seasoned, with several noting fast turnaround even during busy periods, and staff are most often called friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. A recurring counterpoint exists, however: one reviewer describes paying £17.50 for two chicken burger meals that arrived with hard fries, cheap-tasting buns, and undercooked chicken, and another separately reports rude, dismissive treatment when trying to place a phone order. Despite these complaints, most reviewers describe returning repeatedly or recommending the spot to others.

“Came here on a random Monday because we heard good reviews... nothing but good things to say! Absolutely amazing quality food and even better customer service from a guy who I'm assuming is the owner. We got a mixed grill, side salad and peri fries. Food came out piping hot and we were given a complimentary starter of some chicken wings which were 10/10. Will definitely be back very soon and definitely recommend to everyone to pop down. May Allah swt bless this business.”

“Customer service is absolutely horrendous. Wanted to make a phone order but after talking to the guy on the phone I had to hang up. Didnt even want to take my order, just plain rude. Attitude like that won't invite customers to want to eat there no matter how good the food is.”

“had a really good experience at Twist and Flame. The food was full of flavor and tasted fresh, like it was made with real care and attention. The spice level was perfect—bold without being overwhelming and everything was well-seasoned from start to finish. Portions were generous, and the food came out hot, which always makes a big difference.The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, not just polite but actually attentive and helpful. They checked in at the right times, made good recommendations, and created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere without hovering. You could tell they cared about the experience, not just getting people in and out.Overall, Twist and Flame feels like one of those places you’re happy you tried and would easily recommend. Between the food, the vibe, and the staff, it’s definitely a spot worth coming back to.”

A fantastic spot that truly stands out—well worth the visit! 🔥👌”
