  “Disappointed 😞 I ordered one regular chicken shish kebab and one large mixed shish (lamb and chicken). Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with both the quality and portion size. When I got home, the first thing I noticed was that the meat was cold. While I was waiting in the shop, I do not recall seeing the chicken being cooked fresh on the grill, which immediately raised concerns. After tasting it, it was clear the meat was not hot and did not seem freshly prepared. Serving lukewarm meat is not only disappointing but also raises food safety concerns. The biggest issue, however, was the portion size of the large mixed shish. The large mixed was supposed to come with two skewers of meat. Before purchasing, I specifically asked the lady to show me the skewers, and there was a generous amount of meat on them. However, what we actually received was only six small pieces of chicken and a small, sausage-sized piece of lamb. There was hardly any meat at all. It did not reflect what was shown to me before ordering and felt misleading. It honestly felt like we were given a reheated portion rather than freshly grilled meat. The only item I saw being cooked while I was there was the small lamb sausage piece — which was small to begin with. The large pitta was filled mostly with salad and very little lamb or chicken. I paid £20.50 for these two kebabs and received hardly any meat, which is extremely poor value for money. For that price, I would expect fresh, hot food and a generous portion, especially for a “large” mixed shish. Overall, the experience was very disappointing. I feel the portion did not match what was advertised or shown prior to purchase, and the food quality was below standard. I hope the shop can review this matter and offer appropriate compensation, as this was not an acceptable standard for the price paid. Based on this visit, I would not return unless this issue is properly addressed.”

  “Their food is tasty, but overpriced. Main issue however is that they always, without fail, give me an upset tummy. The place doesn't necessarily seem unhygienic, however (especially on weekdays) they serve clearly old/reheated fish and chicken which for the price paid, is hugely disappointing.”

  “Preordered two shish kebabs and a portion of chips today 27th Feb. Chicken was obviously from a precooked batch as it was so dry and unseasoned. No way this cooked to order in the 10mins in took to get there. In fact saw lots of meat sat cooked under the grill. So a waste of £21.30. It's the worst shish I've ever had. The chips were salt n vinegared without asking. I do not have vinegar so customer service not great on that front today either.”

  “Not a bad chippy other than their lamb doner being is so inconsistent. So many times they give the rubbish end bits, especially in the lunch deal. Makes you wonder the quality of it if they think serving this is ok. Chilli sauce is also generic.”

  “There was a time when this place served really good food at a decent price. That was some time ago. Their prices have rocketed, and the quality is not as good as it was. This is a fish and chip shop. How can they justify charging nearly £16 for a fish and chips via Ubereats? Just look at their prices, they must now be one of the most expensive fish and chip shops in Leicestershire. The quality of their food has also gone down. I use to love their donner kebab. Don't know if they have changed their supplier but their donner kebab tastes like card board. Only good thing I can say is that their battered sausages taste really nice but also have gone up considerably in price. I am really sad to write this review as I have used this shop for over 10 years. Due to their high prices and not so good quality, me and my family will be using somewhere else. The owner is really nice though as we always have a chin wag about Parklands Leisure Centre where we were both members once.”

  “Visiting from the north for a few days. Found the fish bar on Google so gave them a try. Ordered a small fish and chips twice and honestly I could have fed 5000 with the portion! It was massive, and very tasty, Best fish I've had in a while, the menu was extensive with a wide variety of greek food.”
