Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken is the main draw, with several reviewers calling it the best in Bolton and describing it as juicy, crispy and good value. One says the recipe has stayed the same for years. Close behind are the chicken fillet burgers and chips, called consistently nice, along with a newer smash burger. Pizzas have returned to the menu, and a tandoori chicken pizza is described as tasty. Reviewers also mention a renovated shop, an updated menu and sauces now being provided, and several call the staff polite. One finds the cheese burgers fattier than before. The criticism is sparse but specific. One reviewer describes an understaffed counter where wings were promised after a short wait, were still not ready on collection, and chicken they had not asked for was offered instead. Another reports staff eating from the same containers they served food from, using bare hands. Even so, one father and son were given a free piece of chicken during their visit.

“Today, I used this takeaway, and I was extremely disappointed. The hygiene levels were terrible—staff were eating directly from the same containers they were serving food in, with their bare hands and no utensils. I would not recommend this place at all.””

“Well first of all this is not the rajas its MFC, and their food is good but service is not that good. Understaffed I would say. For me the experience was not good. I liked the burger it was nice. I had asked for wings and I was said to wait 6 mins and when I came to get the order they said wings are not ready yet its gonna take 15 mins but chicken is ready and you asked for chicken, which I did not.”

“Went in today after a long time. Shop has been renovated and looks as good as the food tastes. They had pizzas back after 5 years. And 12 inch for only £5. Can’t go wrong. Got a pizza with their new smash burger and chips. Costing me just a tenner! Both tasted lovely and fresh. Love that they put effort into this place. Food was always quality and not too pricey!”
