Customer Review Summary
Chapli kebab is the dish reviewers raise most, and opinions split sharply. One praises it as large, fresh and crispy in naan, while others report it arriving burnt outside and undercooked inside, and one describes finding plastic bag inside. The Kabuli pulao draws the warmest comments, with juicy meat, carrots and raisins, and a second reviewer also recommends it. Close behind are chicken tikka with naan, peri peri half chicken, and the curries, which one diner calls freshly made. Generous portions and friendly service come up among the positives, though a fried chicken portion was called a bit dry and the peri peri strips were described as fried with sauce on top. Complaints about the counter staff recur: reviewers describe a hostile server, a hung-up complaint call, and a chilli order that was not replaced. Hygiene is raised repeatedly, with one reviewer reporting staff handling food after touching a bin and another describing spider webs and dirty tables. Reviewers also note there is no high chair, and one lamb tikka was described as burnt outside and raw inside, with no replacement or refund offered.

“My go to here is the chicken tikka and naan, cost around £8. It's good because not many shops nearby sell good food. However the shop is a state, the seat were awkward and upright, very hard to sit on and get comfortable. The man serving is very hostile and not welcoming, feels like I am trespassing into someone's property rather than being a customer spending money. I tried the peri peri strips for the first time.. will also be the last time. The chcicken didnt taste good, and it was clearly fried with a bit of sauce added on top. Me expecting peri peri chicken to be grilled Will go back but stick to my regular order”

“I've visited today to have some chapal kebab, I've asked the guy who attended me what is your special item? He recommended chapel kebab which i also love that so I've ordered 2 chapel kebab with naan. I was so hungry. After 15, 20 min my 2 kebab and 1 naan comes with salad and sauce. Honestly when took 1st bite its taste was so weird. I can see that the kebab wasn't cooked properly from inside. Kebab was burnt outside. I've asked the takeaway guy what is this? This totally non-cooked... i walked away to hear his replies that it is what it is. Absolutely waste of money and time.”

“I saw staff put his hands in the bin and then go straight back to handling food without washing them then another staff member putting his finger in his mouth then proceeding to cut the donner. The place was unhygienic, the food quality was poor the overall experience was disgusting I noticed things that made me question cleanliness and pest control. The staffs behaviour was unprofessional and made us extremely uncomfortable. I wouldnt return or recommend this place to my worst enemy it’s just disgusting avoid it. the standards were well below what you’d expect from a food business.”

“I ordered chicken bhuna, lamb curry, pilau rice and naan. All was freshly made and extremely delicious. They even gave me some traditional bread with what looked like lentils inside…as I was just breaking my fast. So yummy I will be going there again tonight insha’Allah.”

“Absolutely awful experience. I ordered the lamb tikka, and it was completely inedible — burnt on the outside, raw on the inside, and so tough it couldn’t be chewed or broken. It was harder than rubber. I called to complain, but the staff was extremely rude, barely spoke English, and hung up on me mid-conversation. One even told me they didn’t care if I made a complaint. I was on a 12-hour shift at work and starving, only to receive food that was not even fit for human consumption. I was left hungry with nothing to eat, and I was not offered a replacement meal or a refund. This is unacceptable on every level — quality, service, and basic human decency.”
