Chips are awful today, and some were uncooked. doner was good. Please don’t change the potato you use. It makes for a disappointing food choice.

I used to go here from the 90s, but in the last few years, the food quality and quantity have dropped, but the price has gone up. The taste ain't the same anymore and the place doesn't look appealing as before.

Garbage food, ridiculously arrogant service by old men. One of their worker became my friend later in university and he told me that they fry left over fried chips following day. And he also told me one time a rat fell in their chicken tub and this old guy told their worker’s to use that chicken 🤮🤮🤮🤮. I would never go there, use your hard earned money elsewhere.

PLEASE DONT GET FOOD FROM THIS PLACE, its absolutely disgusting and tasteless. We ordered tonight chips, plain donner tray. The chips were covered in salt and had been refried, they were dark brown, stale and tasted horrible soo bad that we couldn't eat them.The donner had no taste. I would not serve this kind of food to anyone. We have been getting food from here for past 20 years, the food last time was bad, thought it was 1 off but this is the worst ever. We will never ever return back to this dump of a place. I would rather be honest than anyone else waste their time and go billals or Rajas across the road. If I could give no stars I would.

Really bad experience. Was in the area and heard how good the food was. Decided to get a take away. Got home to find the food I ordered not there. Took a taxi back and returned the food and got a refund. Went elsewhere for food locally. Never visiting again. No gesture of apology offered.

we all know the owner is not known for his customer service but it was tolerated because the food was nice...but for me never again, the chips tasted like crisps they were greasy and hard and I'm pretty sure they had been fried about 6 times before they got to me...

Best donner meat. Try the donner meat & chips special. Just been in after a long time and still doesn't disappoint. They now have new seating so you can eat in again. It was removed due to COVID-19. Mac is still a character, infact an institution and if he ever retires it will be a sad day.

The donor here has some masala thingamabob on it which makes it taste awesome. Portion size is generous, which is quite novel for what seems a Gujji outlet. (The antonym of of generous is Gujji or بخیل). The chicken this time was not the same standard as previously. It was a bit bland, which is ironic, since this place called CHICKEN licken. It wasn’t finger licken that’s for sure. Need to supply better cutlery with the food. That plastic thing moulded in the slums of Surat for 3 rupees an hour resembles a fork, but when you dig in to fat chips; there is a great danger of getting plastic chips. This is definitely not how fusion cuisine works.
