😠 I never write a review, but my experience here was unacceptable. The staff was unprofessional and disrespectful, and the food prep was sloppy and subpar. If you want to read the story, carry on, but if not, sufice it to say the food may be cross-contaminated due to bad hygiene practices. I have not... People often mention wrap, service, assistant,

    Appalling from start to finish. I was politely mugged by the guy on the tills. Charged me for a large mixed on naan. Paying extra for naan. Served cold, and in a wrap. Pointless. £10....

    I never write a review, but my experience here was unacceptable. The staff was unprofessional and disrespectful, and the food prep was sloppy and subpar. If you want to read the story, carry on, but if not, sufice it to say the food may be cross-contaminated due to bad hygiene practices. I have not tasted the food, but given what I saw of the prep, I would not want to. I came in and ordered 3 wraps for me and my family, 2 hummus and falafel and one falafel and halloumi, they said no problem. When making the wrap we realised they had run out of hummus and were about to hand us 2 wraps without hummus, so we asked about it, and at first they did not want to do anything about it, but after some back and forth the "manager" decided to go and buy some hummus from Tesco. Not happy about the attitude, but fine. While waiting, we saw the person making the food (the assistant) was handling meat, wraps, vegetables, and even the card machine at some point, without changing their gloves. As one of the members of our party has food intolerances and has recently been ill, we decided we could not trust the quality of the food and we wanted to cancel our order. By this point I had already paid with card. When I expressed that I wanted to cancel the order to the assistant, he was angry, but accepted it. When the "manager" came back, he would not have it. He insisted to make our food with new gloves and would not accept that we no longer wanted the food given what we had seen. He insisted he could not give me a refund 'because the bank has the money' and after around 10 min of me refusing to have food I did not want, he made the assistant write me a hand written note and told me to come back tomorrow for a cash refund. While the assistant was writing the note, he proceeded to mock my complaint by pointing at different items of food and ask me mockingly if they had also been touched. I told him, forcibly, that comments like that are unacceptable, and mocking me was disrespectful. He proceded to shout at me to leave and never come back. I asked for the number for complaints and he ignored me and walked into the kitchen. I asked the assistant as well, and though polite, he said he did not know. I left. As of writing this review, I have not received my money, so I will have to go back tomorrow and update the saga. UPDATE: I went back the following day, and 2 different guys were there. They had been told about the incident from the assistant, while the manager had told them nothing and had left no instruction to pay me. I presented the note, and they gave me cash, as they said: "We know our manager's temper, and he won't be happy, but we value our customers." I still will not be going back.

    Awful food. Gave me the wrong meat with my chips. Couldn't be bothered to wait for them to sort it as it took too long to begin with. Dont go here.

    Charged £68.50 for a £6.50 meal, manager refused the refund. Seems like a common business practice judging by other reviews and word of mouth

    Myself and partner had wrap meal deal of doner with chips and can. Can't fault the price and the quality of the food was out of this world with freshness. Total recommend to people out and about in cardiff.

    The food is awful! Couldn't call the restaurant for problems to be rectified as phone lines were not in service, everything was wrong! Really not impressed at all and won't order again

    I visited this place for a kebab after a night out and was really disappointed with the food that was received. A few days later I called again to express my feelings about the food I was given and actually showed the staff a photo of the food supplied, which may I add was not what I ordered. At this point I was threatened with the police if I didn't leave! This establishment does not deserve a recognition and the customer service is deplorable, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Writing R. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure. The folks here have a good customer service with a warm welcome. Great deals such the any wrap with chips or wedges and a drink for £4.50, all serve with salad. Place is clean and they currently have a high and efficient health and safety standard.

    Absolutely disgusting. The "food" was burnt till it was black and crunchy. Inedible. Customer service is very poor and rude. Owner laughed at me when I complained and told me to order else where. Any human being who respects their stomach should no go near this place. Its hideous
