Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the kebabs, with the lamb shish kebab, whose lamb one says melts in the mouth, and the special chicken kebab with homemade chilli sauce named as favourites. Cheesy chips come up close behind, described as crispy and loaded with cheese. One reviewer who made a long detour for a donner kebab found it less flavourful than on a first visit, yet still the least greasy they had ever had. Portions are called massive, and the place is described as clean. Staff are a recurring theme, called friendly, welcoming and chatty, smiling even when busy. Regulars say they have been coming for years. The one clear complaint concerns the chicken burger, which a reviewer found poor quality for its price and advised others not to buy. Several say the staff remember returning customers and ask after the family.
