Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who rate it highly single out the keema and chips, an off-menu order one says the staff will make on request and remember from the phone call. Close behind come friendly staff, a good delivery service, and one reviewer's praise for how the counter handles drunk late-night customers with grace. Another describes kindness shown to them while homeless. Against that, most of the low ratings are about orders going wrong. Reviewers describe a peri donner tray ordered on its own arriving plain, a kebab with salad that held only chicken, peppers and onion, a shish kebab with no salad and dry, hard meat, and a pizza that never arrived while phone calls went unanswered. Food arriving stone cold comes up too, including an undercooked naan that stuck to its paper, and a supreme burger and cheesy chips one reviewer called inedible. One reviewer reports fingernails in a milkshake. After a complaint about the kebab, one reviewer was offered a replacement but no apology.

“Ordered a kebab with salad got 6 pieces of chicken with a few peppers and bits of onion nothing else. Naan was undercooked and cold and the condensation made it stick to the paper making me have to peel the surface of naan off to actually get to it. Contacted them to complain no apology but was offered another kebab but who wants food after a complaint. Unfortunately won’t be ordering again!”
