Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the chicken shawarma, which several call the best in Leicester, with the special sauce singled out as a standout. Close behind is the freshly made naan, described as soft with a good texture, and a few mention the wraps their children ask for. One reviewer also praises a juicy, cheesy cheeseburger that arrived hot. Portions are repeatedly called generous and the pricing affordable for what is served. Staff are consistently described as friendly, welcoming and quick, and one long-time customer says quality has improved since the shop operated under its earlier name. Reviews raise no recurring complaints, though one reviewer hopes the planned grill and extended menu arrive soon. Several say they plan to come back, and one reports being waved off from paying for a fizzy drink despite repeated attempts to pay.
