  “Karzan and his team were amazing on Sunday, catering for my film crew of 18. They produced 18 meals at the time we needed it, catering for different preferences and dietary needs, flawlessly, taking time to label everyone's food so we could easily know whose was whose. The food itself was delicious, tasty, and amazingly still hot when we got to eat. I'm looking forward to eating in the restaurant because while I waited, I sampled some soup, which was incredible. Thank you for looking after us so well! I think you have 18 new fans!! 😍”

  “I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this shop. The pricing displayed was completely misleading - items showed one price, but at checkout I was charged a higher amount without proper explanation. When I tried to take photos as evidence, the staff reacted aggressively. They approached me and my wife in a threatening manner, as if they were about to physically confront us. This behavior was completely unacceptable and intimidating. Additionally, the staff used inappropriate language and made verbal threats, which made the situation even worse. No customer should ever feel unsafe while simply trying to shop. I strongly advise others to be cautious when visiting this place.”

  “The chicken shawarma from here is absolutely phenomenal! I’ve been here a few times and they never fail to impress me and my family with their amazing food. I even come all the way from High Wycombe just to get their food — it’s that good!”

  “Hi there, Thanks for reading my Google Review! My review is solely based on my experience. Therefore, the overall score will reflect both the positives and negatives without me mentioning the negatives (unless required) as each experience can be different. So...my review; Overall, we were the only ones there when we ordered. The food did take soke time however it clearly represented the freshness and quality. The ribs were soft and juicy, the food was plentiful for 2 people. Could have easily fed 4 decently. Customer Service was good. Parking requires payment as it is in the main town. Overall. I would recommend this place. Taste: 👍🏾 Value for Money: 👍🏾 Atmosphere: 👍🏾 Customer Service: 👍🏾 Menu: 👍🏾 Location: 👍🏾 Parking: 👍🏾 Would I recommend: 👍🏾”

  “OMG how have I been here for two years and never tried this place? Ordered a lamb shawarma for me and the wife had chicken. Very welcoming! Gave me a sample bowl of soup, whilst I waited. The shawarmas were awesome. The wife couldn’t finish hers in one go. I, on the other hand, am slightly regretting not going for a large… even though I’m full. It was delicious! Fall off the bone, tender meat. The only thing that made it better, for me, was the addition of freshly chopped up red birdseye chillies, I had in the fridge. We will be going back!”

  “This is the kind of place you hope to stumble across. Nipped in for a quick shawarma to take away. The owner moved out the way to let us sit down whilst we waited - quite literally insisting we did. As we waited, we got a complimentary lentil soup which on a cold winters afternoon was exactly what you want. To my surprise, they started rolling out a fresh wrap/bread and then whacked it in the tandoor oven. Shaved the meat off fresh. And the mixed shawarma we got was beautiful. Oily and juicy in all the right ways. The bread/wrap was perfect with a lovely amount of bite to it. Hospitality and service was impeccable. They make you feel really looked after. The decor was high end Kurdish / Middle Eastern. And when you see a proper tandoor oven and grill, you know you’re going to be in for a treat. Will be returning for a proper sit down meal. Bravo boys, this is the kind of place you want to find.”

  “I visited this awesome place this week in Headington because I just wanted a bowl of soup to take the chill off. I'm looking at the menu in the window when the Owner said "come inside you'll enjoy it" I went in sat down and was immediately served a bowl of soup on the house! Well that definitely inspired me to want to take a closer look at the menu, which I did and was spoilt for choice with the Middle Eastern culinary delights. The food was fresh, mouth watering, colourful and so delicious 😋 I didn't have anything to drink on this occasion but will definitely pop in again for a pot of mint tea. The service was excellent, the atmosphere relaxing and the background music soothing. All in all the venue is a welcoming, family friendly, encompassing place to dine. I stayed for longer than I intended to and will definitely visit again 🙂”

  “You can call it everything, but you can never call it Shwarma !!! I’ve ordered from Deliveroo But this is not Shwarma never and you should consider using fresh chicken. (edited after being called a liar by the restaurant) I’m not a liar I’ve provided clear proof that I ordered from you through Deliveroo, including the receipt and pictures. It was a £55 order because we trusted your food would be good. Unfortunately, after eating it, both me and my kids were unwell for two days. Instead of calling a customer a liar, you should take this seriously and look into what might have gone wrong. I’ve already reported this to the food standards agency and have medical records from my GP and hospital visit to support what I’m saying. I’ve eaten real shawarma many times, including on Edgware Road in London, so I know how it should taste and this was nothing like it. Regardless of taste, you should always use fresh chicken and handle food properly. Hopefully, this helps you improve instead of dismissing genuine feedback.”

  “I was a bit skeptical about this place but after walking in, I saw it was beautiful. The service was second to none and as for the food, we had the lamb and it was phenomenal. Truly. And the home made bread. We both love meat and really enjoyed it and the salad. More people should go. Everyone we saw there was foreign. Us brits are missing out! Well we didn’t. We had a great time here. Would definitely go back. We even had some free lentil soup!”
