Customer Review Summary
Falafel is the main draw, with reviewers describing the falafels as crispy but soft and the falafel wrap as delicious and reasonably priced. Close behind are the freshly made, piping hot bread, a meal of the day, and a takeaway zaatar that one reviewer found great. Portions are called generous, and a few mention a large vegetarian selection and room for big families. One reviewer felt the hummus could be much better, and another found the yellow and lime green decor off-putting. The complaints centre on service and consistency. A group of five waited a long time and was served at different times, and one wrap arrived sodden with sauce. Another diner found the falafel lacking authentic flavor and texture, described the staff as unfamiliar with the menu, and called the manager rude when concerns were raised. Others describe the staff as kind and friendly, and two mention being given free lemonade or free tea.

“The South West Asian environment is perfect. The falafels are mouth watering and so crispy but soft. The staff were kind enough to give us free lemonade and there is room for big families as well.”

“Falafel wrap was delicious and reasonably priced, and they gave me free tea. Staff were friendly.”

“Just had food delivered from here and the Chicken was clearly gone off. It had a strong fishy smell and tasted sour. My son already ate a bit without realising. Absolutely ridiculous. I’d understand if there was no smell. But there was a really strong smell of fish coming from the chicken. Even tasting it showed that it was wrong. How on earth did the person making this not realise and still decide it was okay to be served? They have a 2 out of 5 on their hygiene rating. Which I’d you ask me is still clearly over rated. Do not order from here unless you want a legal method to dispose of your family.”
- Yasser Saleem
“Look at the last three reviews. They sent out food that was clearly rotten. Just take a look at the chicken. It doesn’t even look or smell like chicken. They knew exactly what they were doing. DO NOT GET FOOD FROM HERE. If they are willing to serve food that is gone off imagine what else they are doing. This place needs to be reported.”
