⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend! I tried the Beef Chicken Deluxe King, and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The combination of beef and chicken was perfect, and the fresh salad and spicy sauces made every bite even better. The portion size was very generous and definitely worth the price. Everything tasted fresh..I’ll definitely be coming back for this again. Great job! 😋👏
Umema Zabeen, 3 months agoHave had lots of meals from here in past so was craving lamb an beef kebab meal on rice ordered picked up ripped in to find beef wasn't cooked properly an the delicious lamb was just a broken up lamb rissole very disappointed if I hadve know your not actually using lamb I would've ordered chicken like my partner did 😤😤😤😤😤 We ordered online 5pm yesterday picked up 530pm yesterday honestly every meal I've had from you perfection but to be blunt lastnights kebab meal shocking the so called lamb crumbled just how mince would an the beef had barely touched the pan the chicken from my partners
nigel King, 3 months agoOrdered a 2 filling wrap ($18.99) on the whole it was OK not outstanding way too much liquid. There was no spice at all not even for medium heat so if you want a bit of heat order hot and certainly no hummus as described if there was any, you can't taste it, the meat was a good amount and tender. My biggest concern was hygiene, the server was taking money and then prepapring food without wearing gloves, he was handling grated cheese with his fingers not tongs and then coughed into his elbow whilst preparing someone elses food. Overall, I wouldn't reccommend this place as I've had way better.
