About Davian's Fish & Kebab Bar
On Middle Lane in Rotherham, Davian's Fish & Kebab Bar is a fish and chips takeaway with four items on its menu. Alongside the classic fish and chips, the naan kebab gives regulars an alternative to the usual order. Sides include mushy peas and scraps, with Chinese curry sauce and gravy offered as toppings, and a lunchtime special pairs fish, chips, and a side with sausage or rissole in a tray. Cod and curry sauce is another regular order, served with the sauce poured over the chips and fish. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, and a wait is common at busy times. The step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, high chairs are available for families with young children, and dogs are welcome inside. The shop runs Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays, with all food prepared for collection rather than eating in.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is what most reviewers come for, with diners describing crispy batter, flaky fish and generous portions. Several praise the lunchtime special of fish, chips, a side and a sausage or rissole in a tray as good value, and others single out the naan kebab, the cod with curry sauce, the scallop fish cake and mushy peas. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, even through a long queue, and one longtime local recalls the shop from childhood. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the chips cold and rubbery, the fish old and fishy, and the Chinese curry sauce unrecognisable. Another also got cold chips and cold peas from a fish special. One reviewer objects to the card machine being set on the chip wrapping paper and to staff handling cash before serving food. A few say the curry sauce poured over the top left the chips and fish soggy. One neighbour complains about customers double parking on double yellow lines, forcing pedestrians with prams into the road. Reviewers who liked it often close on the same note: they leave with a full belly and plan to return.
