Customer Review Summary
Portion size and quality split opinion sharply. Several reviewers describe the large dinner kebab in naan and large chips as a regular order, praising friendly service and a kid-friendly touch with chips on a stick, and delivery is called quick with hot food at a good price. Close behind, other diners report the opposite: a large kebab that "would not feed a hamster," chips arriving in undersized containers despite the price, and a pizza meal deal where the toppings had fallen off and coleslaw was swapped for a mayo pot. Several separate reviewers also flag quality problems, including burnt, rubbery chicken on a pizza, a rock solid naan on a kebab described as "off," and food called excessively greasy. One reviewer additionally reports finding hairs on a pizza and questioning whether the cooking oil needed changing. Complaints about steep prices for small portions recur alongside the praise for fast, hot delivery.

“Terrible experience. The pizza was awful — huge burnt chicken chunks, tough as rubber, and overall terrible flavor. Easily one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had. Not ordering again.”
