About Chef X Cafe

The X Box pairs two patties with golden coleslaw, and the Philly cheese steak burger runs alongside donner meat sauced with a sweet chilli style dressing. Loaded chips topped with beef or chicken donner are also on the menu, alongside chai and mango lassi to drink.

Customer Review Summary
The X Box meal is the most frequent order, a smash burger, donner and grilled chicken with chips, and reviewers repeatedly single out its golden coleslaw, with one calling it the best they have ever had. The Philly cheese steak burger comes close behind, one visitor saying it melted in the mouth, while others praise the beef smash burger as juicy and fresh, the donner for its flavour, and the loaded chips with beef and chicken. A mango lassi and a chai sample also get mentions. Portions are called big and decent, the staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and one family noted clean tables and floors. The main dissent is a negative review of the X Box, which says the burger tasted cheap, the donner was over sauced with sweet chilli, the grilled chicken was not grilled, and the golden slaw was mostly sauce with no slaw. A few diners travelled in from Sheffield and Leicester, and one reviewer appreciated the staff giving them a space to pray.

“Really enjoyed the food! The doner had a lovely flavour, and the Philly steak and smash burger were all delicious. Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavour. Great service from the staff, and we really appreciated them allowing us a space to pray. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be coming back!”

“OH WOW! I travelled from Sheffield to see someone and they recommended Chef X to me, so I had to give it a try and honestly, I’m so glad I did! That Philly cheese steak burger was absolutely unreal! Literally melted in my mouth. The flavour was on another level! I’d happily travel from Sheffield or let’s open one here!!! genuinely one of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. Highly recommended! 🔥”

“The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered loaded chips with beef and chicken, a burger, and mango lassi. Everything tasted amazing. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place! Just keep in mind that they accept cash payments only. It's worth knowing in advance that they accept cash payments only.”

“To the people who find this spot amazing, I do not believe you. Purchased a X box with their “cash only policy” of 17.99, the burger tasted cheap: Two patties, cheap slices of cheese and Algerian sauce. Donner meat was well over sauced, could only taste the terrible sweet chilli sauce (not really a special sauce btw) used, and the “grilled chicken” was not grilled at all, “Golden slaw” was a joke as it was all just sauce, no slaw. I would not recommend at all and definitely not going again Bubble burgers is a Better Spot”
