Customer Review Summary
The chicken doner comes up most often, described repeatedly as fresh, warm and delicious, with one regular calling it their go to order. Close behind, diners praise the burgers as well presented, and several highlight the meat, salad, bread and sauces together as top quality, alongside a decor and atmosphere many call the best they have seen locally. The ladies only seating area and the iftari experience, where a staff member walked newcomers through the ordering process, also draw specific mention. Service is generally called helpful and friendly, with the manager singled out for care, though one reviewer felt the front line staff lacked basic warmth despite the manager being respectful. A more serious complaint describes the food as no better than a nearby takeaway, with dry chicken, a seekh kebab that did not taste fresh, and a plate overloaded with sauce. One newer visitor noted the restaurant was still working through a few teething issues.

“Really enjoyed the food. The burgers was lovely and well presented If your a big eater like my husband maybe order a little extra tho. All though the manager was very respectful his staff unfortunately wasn't.. A smile wouldn't hurt n basic customer service wouldn't have gone a miss.”
- Abdul Haque
“Nice restaurant in terms of decor, limited parking spaces and is located at the rear. The food although ok is below par for this type of restaurant, the food at present is no different to a nearby cheap takeaway (grill items only, I have not tried the curries). The differance being it's all served on a plate instead of a takeaway box. The chicken was dry, the seekh kebab did not taste fresh and the plate was loaded with far too much sauce. You will be easily enticed by the description on the menu to expect much more. I'd recommend to The Express, improve the quality of the food, and I'm sure more people would be attracted here for a meal.”
