Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. One reviewer says an order was wrong on three occasions, including a medium portion of chips that matched the regular size but cost extra, and describes seeing chicken reheated on the counter that they doubted was fresh. Another found the mixed doner and chips enjoyable but missing salad and chilli mayonnaise, with a thick mayo, a runny chilli sauce, and chicken packaging they called terrible.

“They have a lamb curry pizza... Doesn't seem to be on the menu but ask for it. Absolutely incredible, legit worth the drive”
- Tanveer Hussain
“Excellent food. Always fresh and clean shop. Cod fish is amazing. And the meat, curry , everything is top of the range.”
- Zia Q (The Techzi Guy)
“I've genuinely think that the food is a bit of a hit and miss. When I first had it, i'm pretty much enjoyed the mixed doner and chips but it was disappointing that they did not slap in some salad and also did not splat in chilli mayonnaise on it. Instead they gave me extra tubs and and honestly think that the mayo is slightly a bit thick and chilli sauce is a bit runny. I like the taste, but it's not quite there yet. When I had it for the second time, which was chicken and chips it wasn't all that really. I did like the chicken as well as the chips made well but I feel sorry for the chicken and packaging was terrible. I'd rather have it packaged in the contains used in burger meals or slightly better packaging. Overall, it's a decent takeaway. But could be better for next time.”

“The man with the man bun, messed up my order 3 times, on 3 separate occasions. I looked past it, because i have respect for muslim owned businesses, however the 3rd time is taking the mick. I ordered a medium portion of chips but he put the same size as a regular and charged me extra for it, in comparison to the normal chips price. Absolutely mockery. I saw him heating up stale chicken that cannot be verified when it was made and set onto the tray by the counter. Im disgusted, the chicken isn’t fresh. Business needs to shut down!!!”
