“The food was really nice ( although you’ll be waiting nearly 2 hours for it ). The reason for such a negative review besides the wait times is with an experience I had with the owner He delivered the food to my home and my friend had gave him the money and HE GAVE HER change and not 5 minutes later we heard some of the loudest banging on the door you can imagine. when we opened the door and the owner started shouting and screaming saying how my friend had ripped him off by 50p on the food and we explained HE GAVE HER THE CHANGE so how could she have ripped him off and we just gave him the 50p and he stormed off shouting all sorts of horrible things to us as he got to his car and then shouted “ don’t ever order from me again “, so I won’t be. He had no right to be so disrespectful and abusive to my friend over 50p and his own mistake. She was so upset by the experience and it ruined the entire night. I have to always answer the door for delivery people now when we order food because she was understandably truly shaken by the whole experience.”
