Bought 2 chicken kebabs tea time 6pm yesterday ,bill was £18.50 trying to be healthy . Salad and chicken . Hubby had some salad left and he forked it up something white crawled out of the remaining lettuce. After examining it it was a maggot alive . . Disgusted we binned mines and felt ill for hours at the thought of this . Didnt phone to complain because thought it was pointless at that stage , hubby had ate most , I hadnt though , but I need public to know serious hygiene issues for what I believed was always a decent takeaway . Not anymore WILL NOT BE BACK .Absolutely disgusting !!

Ordered tomato based pizza to be delivered a curry base. When I phoned to get it replaced they denied it was curry and the woman had the cheek to argue with me over the phone over it. I am 34 and know the difference between the two! Full pizza went in the bin and have requested a refund. I've added pics of the so called tomato base

I hate to say but stopped in for chips and cheese on the way home and it was possibly the worst I've had. The chips weren't cooked properly so totally ruined it. Sorry but absolutely rank.

We used to get fabulous meals from Flames when we lived in Ayr. But we are so very very disappointed with the bland tasteless and very limited content that we received in our meal today (1/6/24). Will most definitely not be back.

Large mixed kebab. 2 bits of chicken 3 bits of lamb and the rest cheap kebab meat. There are no onions in the salad. It was a poor effort, and I won't be using it again!

Walk in customer, chips were OK, curry sauce was very skimpy and left much to be desired. Staff argued with me about payment rather than explaining the situation, not sure I'll be back.

Chips and pakora were over cooked to the point were inedible, curry not much better with watery sauce n minimal chicken meat. Won't use again.

Food was tasty enough, but the staff are ignorant, they look angry for having to work, they ignore questions and talk over you in their own language, I have no problems in people speaking their native tongue but try learning the local language too it helps keep relations between nationalities civil. PS, all 3 of us that ate from there had got rot the next day (from kebabs?) & that's no bloody good! Plus its cash only.

Ordered a chips,cheese, donner meat and sauce, nearly £6 and got barely any chips, 2 or 3 strands of donner and a slither of sauce!! I’m not even exaggerating, I took a pic but can’t upload, I used to like flames but I’d rather go elsewhere now

The food can be of quite good quality when collected, but when using just eat, the quality drops somewhat and orders are often cancelled as they have 'decided to close early '.

So ..... I have been going to this place for quite some time now and each and every time when I enter the place I am greeted with cleanliness. This has got to be the cleanest Indian take away place I have ever seen. Unfortunately if your in a wheel chair you'll have to get a stranger in the street to go in for you ( unless you have real pals) ....the food has each time been beautifully freshly cooked to order and tastes amazing again...each and every time. I highly.recommend this place

Been using 88 for many years now. I know 6 families in Ayr alone who regularly use 88 rather than other similar establishments in the area as the food quality is consistent and no issues at all. I tend to and few of my family members and pals prefer to order in "non peak times" esp on a frid/sat evening. We prefer to order when there isn't an influx of orders on a frid/sat night at peak times. I think it's absolutely so unfair, rude and selfish to expect your order, however small or big etc to be given to U at the shop counter or via delivery service in a "normal" time frame. It's PEAK time so what's gonna happen is 88 kitchen staff are put under immense immediate pressure to get all food out fast, fast, faster ! They are working in a small shop, it's a small business, they can't cook your food faster than what they can ....unless U all wanna pay extra to employ robots to do it to the speed of lighting?! Give them a break please, do u think it's easy, simple and a great experience to slave away all day preparing food, then at 4pm onwards on a frid sat to cook to your specific requirements : no onions, extra onions, no peas, extra peas, bigger, smaller, this way, that way ? Nah.... doesn't sound that simple eh ? It gets up my nose when people get the meals delivered by the hard working delivery drivers who have to navigate the traffic, park in a safe place, up down, stairs and lifts like a yo yo and they get verbally abused saying U have been waiting too long etc ? Don't shoot the messenger......drivers can only start when they get the goods in their hands and the more people complaining esp on a frid sat evening at peak times doesn't help does it ?! Yes it would be fab if we all got our orders asap exactly the time we want but heh ....... You ain't cooking it and if 50 other orders phone at the same time thinking the same......? Yeah.....bit of a nightmare eh ? Solution: 1. Try to, if possible to order at a non peak time. 2. If U order at peak time expect a much longer significant wait as there will be 50 other orders thinking the same as U. 3. If they employ more kitchen staff or do renovations to make the kitchen bigger to accommodate the extra staff, they need to buy more cooking equipment etc. Would we all want another £10 extra added to our order as 88 would have to recuperate their expenses of expansion?! Nah ....... Didn't think so. 4. Think before you do bad reviews on the spur of the moment to let off a moan......these poor reviews give 88 a more difficult time in getting the customers in, to break even or make a small profit in order to do any possible extra staff hiring ! Catch 22. 5. If we all and esp the people who post bad reviews moaning re time it takes to get your food........ Think how difficult it must be to run the shop on much increased costs esp gas, electric, price of raw ingredients and suppliers upping their base prices but the owner trying not to add the increase to your bill. To be honest I am surprised they haven't already upped their prices even more significantly! 6. Let's all try to support a small business and be nice eh ? Don't get me wrong it's ok to leave a bad review on a genuine reason in any shop but waiting times re food ....... I think would that review help 88 long term to shorten your wait time ? Instead of the whole of Ayr esp on a frid sat night throughout the year.....try ordering on another day when there is less pressure in the kitchen. Does everyone REALLY need to eat only on a Friday Saturday night at the same time ?? Now it's Thursday night I am gonna treat myself to a nice chicken breast curry and fried rice at 88 now and I am gonna enjoy it because ordering tonight is better than ordering it at frid/sat pm with all U lot at the same time lol (Please don't think I am being rude to you ....... I just know how difficult the team work at 88 and that the bad reviews do affect them I think in an unjustified way). I don't want a cheap price. I wanna pay a FAIR price .....so my friends and I tend to give extra when we order as a tip. Pass on the good vibes.... Fiona
