I ordered 3 pizzas at 2:20 pm, and they said they only accept cash only .So, I said them to make pizzas and I went to ATM to bring money .It took me a 10 to 15 minutes walk, and after I returned back they asked me again what you ordered. They took more than 1 hour to prepare 3 pizzas, its bad service, and no staff member is responsible. I don't recommend this shop to order anything.

I recently placed an order from Maryland Chicken on Narborough Road in Leicester through Uber Eats. I went for a simple and classic choice of wings and chips. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, although it was lukewarm by the time it got to me, so I did have to reheat it before eating. That was a bit disappointing, as it would have been much better served hot, but it was not enough to completely put me off. The wings were actually very impressive in terms of size and taste. They were well seasoned, crispy on the outside, and the flavour was very enjoyable. As is typical with this kind of chicken shop, the wings were quite greasy, but that is usually expected with fried food. If you are ordering from a place like this, it is something you are likely prepared for. The chips were decent, not particularly memorable, but they complemented the wings well and were cooked to an acceptable standard. In terms of value, it is definitely good if you are looking for a cheap chicken meal that hits the spot. Overall, I was fairly satisfied with the experience and would consider ordering again to try a few different items from the menu.

I was really looking forward to this wrap, but unfortunately the chicken ruined my experience. It was so tough and dry and was nearly impossible to chew, it was like trying to bite into a piece of rubber. The rest of the wrap seemed fine, but the main ingredient was a total let down! I expected cooked chicken to be tender and flavourful, not something I’d have a battle with. Definitely not ordering this again until the quality improves

The chicken wings at 6pm were cold. The size of the wings are small, and the fries were under cooked. This place is gone downhill and the prices are no longer cheap. I had to force myself to eat it as I was fasting and hungry. Avoid Scaryland chicken at all costs, cause they just don’t care about what they are serving customers. It’s a shame!!

Do you know what these people said? Oh I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. I said , people could die we’re having diarrhoe ( a bit dramatic but it’s true) We are vomiting. (Restaurant ) I tried to call the restaurant. They didn’t pick up. I just want my money back for the raw chicken. They’ve given me that raw chicken smells like raw chicken. I don’t know this area first time here, but this place gave us food poisoning. We couldn’t even eat the whole day.

I recently visited Maryland Chicken on Narborough Road and had a mixed experience. The chicken was tasty, but it was excessively oily, which took away from the overall enjoyment. The fries were decent and complemented the meal well, but the coleslaw was quite disappointing, lacking in flavor and freshness. For the price, it's an okay option if you're in a pinch, but considering the quality, there are definitely better choices available in the area. With a few improvements, especially in reducing the oiliness of the chicken and enhancing the coleslaw, this place could be much better.

The food here used to be good but won't be going back after today. The bottom of the box of fries was soaking wet with oil, I've never had that before. When I tried the fries, they were so hot and saturated with oil that they nearly burnt my tongue. The strip burgers are now ridiculously small and there was barely any mayo in them. The chicken wings didn't taste fresh. The meal wasn't even good value costing £12.50! Disappointing... will not be returning

The chicken was good. The seasoning has changed since the classic days of Marland Pigeon in its early 00's heyday... probably 3rd or 4th time this franchise has changed hands. Prices are wrong on some items and staff poor communication skills don't help resolve or answer the query of why the total of 2 items is different than it says it us n (put stickers up at least), and explain, not just disagree). There's no real atmosphere to speak of, but then it's carnivores with their heads in boxes what do you expect?,
