Customer Review Summary
Chicken shawarma on fresh naan is the main draw, with reviewers describing soft, juicy meat and salads, and one calling it the best in Coventry. Another details a thick wrap built with garlic dip, chips, meat and a choice of salad, praising the texture and flavours. Close behind, diners call the food authentic Romanian street food, and one notes the grilled mittitei and sausages look great. One finds the staff cool and super fast, and one suggests planning ahead because weekends are very busy. Three reviewers are negative. Two describe staff as rude, sarcastic and unprofessional, one feeling mocked when employees spoke Romanian among themselves, and one reports an upset stomach and poor flavours. Even a satisfied reviewer found communication difficult because the staff spoke almost no English, yet said they would happily eat there again.

“I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The staff were not only unprofessional, but also openly rude and sarcastic. Instead of making customers feel welcome, they seemed annoyed and even mocked simple questions. Good service costs nothing, yet here it felt like customers were a burden. Respect should be the bare minimum in any business, and unfortunately, this place failed completely. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I certainly won’t be returning. There are plenty of other places that actually value their customers.”

“The service was terrible and completely unprofessional. During my visit, the staff were speaking Romanian among themselves and, based on their tone and attitude, I felt like I was being mocked. This is unacceptable for any business. It’s disappointing because customers spend their money there, but this kind of behavior is not acceptable. I will not return and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Rude and highly unprofessional”
