Ce La Vie Lounge London in Lewisham

Food is super tasty. But woowwww the service is absolutely terrible - we waited over 40 minutes for a wrap and we were denied that we ever ordered fries to go with them. The guys here are kind at first but rude when you complain that it’s taken too long. I sympathise with them that they’re underprepared but honestly they need to learn to get better.

I went fayrooz for the first time last week after being interested for a while. I ordered a mixed grill for 1, which was priced at £17, so judging by the price I was expecting good things. The service was good in store but I made the mistake of not checking the food before I left as I would have asked for my money back. The food ended up in my bin before thinking about taking photos. The portion didn’t fill the box. The kofte meat tasted like it was gone off. The chicken was dry. The lamb was dry. I asked for chilli and garlic. They gave me them in pots which had clearly been sitting in the fridge for a while. I was tempted to go back and explain this face to Face but was never going to go down as well as a review. I would recommend going to ‘the real Turkish’ also in catford. You will see the difference in food quality, presentation and most importantly this day and age the price! I won’t be going fayrooz again and hopefully they can put more pride into their food.
