“Good place not sure what the negative reviews are on about”

“Traveling from America, we were surprised by the typically smaller serving sizes in the UK. However, this place served generous portions of delicious shawarma for my family and me. The dining area was small but cozy enough to accommodate us comfortably. They had a good variety of items on their menu, and we would definitely return if we're in the area again. I like my fries crispy and would definitely recommend as a side!”

“We visited this establishment on saturday. ordered a kebab. there hygiene levels are very poor. the cook was picking his nose. The guy serving us dropped our food on the floor thinking i didnt see him. He still served me the food. I refused to pay them and had a heated argument. They was very abusive in nature and not good customer service. They need closing down. Health people need to visit them.”

Customer Review Summary
Crisp fries that arrive without going limp draw praise from more than one reviewer, with a wagu burger, juicy lamb chops, wings, generous shawarma portions, half grilled chicken and curries named close behind. One diner who tried two different burgers says the difference in the meats was clear, and a visiting family describes a small but cozy dining area. Reviews split sharply, though, and the negatives are specific. One reviewer reports food poisoning and a night of vomiting after the lamb karahi, saying it seemed reheated. Another describes a cook picking his nose and food dropped on the floor and still served. A third says an employee rubbed lettuce leaves with a finger to open plastic bags and that the chip oil looked dark. A more measured reviewer found the service a bit slow and wants better taste on Asian dishes. Two reviewers call the place empty or dead quiet. One who found an insect in their food reports that the owner apologised and offered a refund.
