Super sad to see that this place has changed hands. They used to do amazing fresh burgers but we went in today and they are now frozen burgers. Gutted.

Absolutely awful, chicken looked like crispy toenails, messed up the order, didn’t have the food we wanted, table was dirty, very disappointing. Not recommended

I've heard great things about this place, homemade meat and sauces. Donner meat tasted like any other donner. Nothing special about it, chilli sauce was nice but it didn't save the dish. It costs £6 for donner wrap on naan. There are way better places where you pay £4 for better quality.

Really good - everything was fresh and delivered ahead of the estimated delivery time. Great shawarma, and home made donner was quality - good fresh meat, not greasy at all, highly recommended.

They don’t look after you anymore. They Try to fleece every customer. Asked for a shawarma wrap and he started filling the plate as it costs a few quid more. The donner wasn’t fresh as it normally is. Was cold. Remember without your loyal customers you are nothing and you have lost another customer now.

The food is normally amazing here but I was very disappointed today. There were four members of staff and nobody knew the price of the Kebab. The meat was cold and not fresh and then they wanted to charge me extra for salad. The boss wasn’t here so maybe that’s why, ended up, taking my money back and leaving.

I find the place to be quite price competitive. Their shawarma serving is huge and enough. I would like to see a bundle menu where they offer shawarma, fries and drinks, but thats me being nit-picky. The people there are polite and serve you with a small on their face.

Came here recently for the first time and the food was amazing! The staff, especially the guy that served us was very friendly and always had a smile on his face. We ordered the chicken and donner mix as we originally wanted the mix plate but they had sold out of the lamb. However, it didn't disappoint. We got chips with it along with a nice selection of salad and sauces, we also got some bread on the side too. The meats were very flavourful and the salad was fresh. The meal had a very fresh and clean feel to it aswell. Portions sizes are big and more than enough for one person and the pricing is also great. Definitely will be back again! Positives - ● Friendly staff, served with a smile ● Fresh clean, tasty food ● Great prices ● Can dine in

Popped in today got a mixed tray and chips. Haven't eaten done in about 30 years but as it is homemade, thought I'd try it. The donner was good just a little too fatty in places for me, chicken was nice. Fresh salads to compliment. Overall a nice experience. Garlic sauce nice and creamy, chilli sauce was good but could do with a little more kick !

Popped in parked behind in Levenshulme Station car park . It's small but free . Ordered a chicken schwarma on naan (no samoon bread option) Now I've had leve b leve edgeley, savoury schwarma, and royal schwarma , for 4.50 its a good price the naan is made and cooked to order in a clay pit oven. A good portion of chicken, salad typically cold fresh,crisp. Chilli sauce was good , I ate this in the car and had to keep the door open as It is messy due to the girth of it. The chicken is really tasty. Its been open for about 12 months and never been nearby to sample it but it is good.

Exceptional lamb doner kebab and served with a smile. Naan is also wonderfully soft and fluffy and the sauces compliment the meal very well. Also my guest had the chicken and said it was good but not the best she had ever tried. 2 kebabs and chips and a drink came to £19.50 which doesn't reflect the pricing on the wall on the menu so perhaps need updating and a little more expensive than I expected

Kept seeing this place pop-up on my Facebook with various food reviewers recommending it, so thought I'd give it a try. We ordered a chicken fatayar, a chicken shawarma tray, and a veggie pizza. Generally, it was a really decent meal, the shawarma being the standout item, cooked perfectly with tons of flavour, lots of accompaniments, and so big that I couldn't finish it! A special word also for the staff, who were really friendly,chatty and hospitable. Recommended and would go again.

Eaten from this place dozens of times now, and I actually don't mind that they often get my order wrong, because the food has mostly been very decent One thing though - you stand with your card in hand waiting to pay, and they always go "no cash?" to which you have to say no... every single time They've got a card reader. A lot of people pay on card. And they actually know me, I'm in there a lot. Makes it awkward. Worth a visit for the doner anyways!

This place was recommended after watching a YouTuber who does food reviews. Probably the worst shwarma I have ever had! The lamb donner is suppose to be homemade but it definitely did not taste homemade , wasn't very edible. The chicken shwarma was chewy and also all of the order was incorrect and all on chips instead of naan bread. Very disappointed especially when it comes to food which goes inside my body. It looked nothing like the photos on the website and certainly not like the YouTube video. I would avoid visiting this place! Had great shwarma at the Post office shwarma in Chorlton! Terrible quality and extremely unhappy with how poor the food was!
