About Friendlies
On Cheviot Crescent in Dundee, Friendlies is a Chinese takeaway open for walk-in orders at the counter. It runs evenings only across the week, with Wednesdays closed. Portion sizes across orders come in large, giving diners a good amount of food for the range served. The setup keeps things simple, with no reservation process and orders taken as customers arrive. Anyone dropping by in the evening can expect the counter staff to handle orders directly, fitting the straightforward format typical of a neighborhood takeaway. The schedule spans six days, missing only the midweek closure, which gives regular customers a predictable pattern to plan around when picking up food on their way home.

Customer Review Summary
Portion size draws repeated praise, with the S&P Munchie box called well filled, though quality is described as hit and miss. The shredded beef arrived burnt to a crisp for one diner, while another found the crispy fried beef an odd color and chewy. Complaints include forgotten items and a two hour delivery wait that left food sitting in the driver's car.

“Portion size is excellent but the quality can be a bit hit & miss. Super fast time for online collection order. Taste and flavours are exactly as you expect from a local takeaway catering to local people. S&P Munchie box was very well filled. Chips a little greasy. Shredded chicken good, chicken balls good, onion rings fine. Sadly the shredded beef was cremated...burnt to a crisp...and spoiled what was otherwise a fairly good meal. Nice touch with the fortune cookies, prawn crackers & complimentary spring rolls.”

“Place can be a hit or miss at times last few times ive ordered they have forgot part of the order. Food is not to bad portion size is good.”

“Awful . Just awful . 2 hours from phoning an order in to delivery . This has been the last few times this has happened and they have lost another customer . Food probably would have been ok if it had been fresh and not sitting in a delivery drivers car for about half an hour . Won’t be back .”

“This place had drastically changed over the years to lower quality food. We ordered chicken curry which was not nice at all in flavour but it did have real chicken breast in it. A while back I ordered a Thai curry and the chicken in that was rubbery. The crispy fried beef was disgusting it was such a strange colour and really chewy yuk! One thing I will say that's good is this place is a good price for the amount of food you get and they are fast at cooking. It's just a shame it's not to the same flavour and quality it used to be many years ago. Not sure we will go back”

“So after seeing a review on Dundee takeaway review on Facebook I decided to give this place a go. Just to put a few things in perspective to give you some clarity of the review. First of all I ordered it for myself and where I'm from …”
