S Baran Fish & Chips

S Baran Fish & Chips offers fish and chips, receiving mixed reviews that reflect both strengths when quality standards are met and significant concerns about food quality, service, hygiene, and management, particularly in recent reviews. The takeaway has been described as great food and not very expensive when operating well, though serious service, quality, and hygiene issues have been raised by many reviewers.

The food at S Baran receives positive feedback when quality standards are met, with dishes described as great food, and reviewers noting they have ordered for pickup and also as a walk in. However, there have been significant quality concerns reported, with food described as disgusting, more soggy than a wet sock, absolutely freezing, definitely not fresh (yesterdays reheats though they tried to say fresh made), and straight in bin. The food quality concerns are such that reviewers note the food was soggy and cold, and one reviewer noted they waited 2 hours for delivery and the food was absolutely freezing. The food quality issues are such that reviewers note it's a complete waste of money and wouldn't recommend to their worst enemy.

Service at S Baran has been consistently poor, with reviewers describing it as shocking, disgusting customer service, and featuring a manager with no common decency. One reviewer noted they waited half an hour to be served and then waited another half an hour before they got their food. The staff are described as standing around talking instead of serving others, and when one reviewer asked for salt and vinegar, the girl just looked at them and walked away. The manager receives particular criticism, with one reviewer noting they complained to the manager and he says "Not my problem", and the reviewer noted they have never felt so belittled. Another reviewer noted they phoned the shop and the manager was trying to tell them they were lying, and he was very condescending. However, there is one positive note, with one reviewer noting the only thing good about that place is the lovely customer service they got off the red head at the counter, and they could tell she was raised right and too good for that horrible place.

There have been serious hygiene concerns reported, with reviewers describing the place as absolutely stinking, unsanitary, and noting they could smell and see the smoke coming out of the back. These hygiene concerns suggest significant maintenance and safety issues.

Value perception is consistently poor, with reviewers describing it as absolute daylight robbery overcharging for soggy cold food, and complete waste of money, suggesting that pricing doesn't match the quality offered.

For visitors to Glasgow, S Baran offers fish and chips that can be great food and not very expensive when quality standards are met. However, there have been significant concerns raised about food quality (including soggy, cold, and not fresh food), service (including shocking service and condescending manager), hygiene (including unsanitary conditions and smoke), and value (including overcharging). The combination of generally good food when quality is consistent, but significant service, quality, and hygiene concerns, makes it a problematic experience, and the takeaway would benefit from addressing hygiene issues, ensuring food quality, improving service standards, and ensuring value matches pricing to ensure all guests have safe and positive experiences.
