We've ordered from here previously, but tonight's was a riot. We ordered for collection as we couldn't get a delivery. Order was ready before we got there. We then drove the 15 minutes back to our house. Arrived and realised our order was wrong, chips missing and sauce all over the German doner when it was requested through their options to be seperate. On phoning a woman said she'd send us our missing items immediately. Chips arrived 45 minutes after us phoning, and were luke warm. Dips have been changed as well. And £2 for a tiny portion of cabbage is ridiculous. Not the usual yayas experience, and has really put us off thinking about coming back.

The kebabs are a genuine 10 out of 10, everything from the portion size to the flavor but a new favorite of mine of late is their chicken rice box hot (yes I asked for cheese on top too 🤣) - it’s da biz!!! Big shout out to the staff at the front too for always looking after me! 🙌🏽
