Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the catering. One describes rice with meat, sweet rice, chicken curry and naan ordered the night before, all fresh, and another calls the Asian catering the best they have tried. Close behind are the masala fish on naan and peri peri chicken, with chips, pizza with plenty of toppings, and fish and chips also praised. One reviewer calls the delivery drivers kind and helpful. Opinion on the everyday takeaway side is sharply split. Several longtime customers say the food declined after new management took over, with one calling it disgusting. Specific complaints include kebab meat that came out raw from the grill and then burnt on a griddle, a chicken fillet burger with crusty, oily batter and dry chicken, and two kebab orders with salad that arrived with nothing inside. One reviewer reports flies in the shop and dirty floors, and another describes a worker handling food after a cigarette without washing his hands. One other reviewer says the shop needs a makeover.

“the best chips I've ever eaten, delicious pizza with lots of toppings (not salty and a bit thick dough for me but it's not a big problem), very friendly and helpful staff, delicious chicken with rice as well, I will definitely go back there”

“AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! Waited 30 minutes at 2pm for just a kebab meat and chips. I then realised I had been overcharged and could have had a meal for 50p less. But the cut behind counter pretended not to understand. The kebab meat… where do I start. Firstly they couldn’t work the grill… so they chucked it on a griddle and because it was so raw on the grill they then overcooked to the point it was BURNT. never had a burnt kebab before. The chips were also awful. I should have took a photo but they definitely have no idea how to cook chips. The hygiene is awful. How they’re not a 1 is beyond me. There was flies in the shop, nothing covered like it should be and the floors are disgusting. AVOID!”

“This place used to be good until this new guys took over. I wouldn’t bother now food is terrible and the service worse. Witnessed one of the guys having a cigarette then going back in and making food without washing his hands. Pretty sure that’s not allowed. If you don’t want food poisoning then stay away. Will not be using again”
