The chicken kebab draws repeated praise, with one reviewer calling it the best they've had and another always returning for it with chips and salad. The Parmo also earns mention as fresh and unreal, alongside friendly, accommodating service. However, one reviewer describes waiting 1.5 hours for two kebabs that arrived soggy, greasy, and bland, calling the food very disappointing.

“Probably the best kebab I've had in my lifetime and I've had a few. We tried this place for the first time and it is hands down the best place in South Shields. Wife loved her chicken kebab and I got the mixed shish kebab which, quite simply put, was absolutely top notch.”
- Chloe Ferguson
“Very disappointing waited 1.5 hours for 2 kebabs. Staff didn’t know if it was on its way or not when we rang, arrived with soggy wet chips, plain chicken strips we had to drench it in salt for some sort of flavour. Portion size was huge but food was very very disappointing. What a shame first & last time trying here. £25 for that was shocking for the food we got. Also very wet & greasy. Never mind”
