Me and my mum had ordered thinking it was “kabab city” immediately could tell something was different but put it down to a change in management. Pizza was disgusting and beware deserts come frozen, so thinking it was a mistake had phoned up to ask about it, the customer service was shocking as got told “they keep them in the freezer and it comes frozen” although not saying this anywhere on the website and got told to just “stick it in the microwave for a second” as they’ve “never had any complaints before” he was very cheeky and not helpful at. DO NOT make the same mistake as us!!

This used to be an amazing kebab shop. It used to greek guys that owned it and they always spoke to me and my mates. Over the years its changed hads a few times and each time it gets a bit worse. Niw it is rock bottom!!! The man that owns it now is an arrogant, cheeky, horrible person. He goes through more staff than he sells dinners!! The food is now awful and ive vowed i will never set foot on this place again. Shame

Wanted some mixed pakora. The portion was awful. The food was awful. They even used onion rings to make or look more. Onion rings ain't pakora. They don't take card. They tell you to use the card machine outside to save even more money . How can they keep trading ? This place is for drunks that have no idea what they are eating. Avoid even when drunk. Yuck 🤮

They guy that was serving us didn’t really care about serving us, he was just listening to his music on his earphone. We asked him about the menu, and he was so lazy about explaining things and he was just pointing at stuff there. Very bad experience

Shocking service from a place that’s existed in Paisley for years. Asked for a mix pakora but with no mushroom pakora, was told to buy it all separately. When asked why I was told to get out and go somewhere else. Which we did. Avoid this wretched place, go anywhere else but here.

Awful pizza. Nearly £9 for a cheese and onion pizza that smelled awful! The taste was worse, probably the worst pizza I have had. I asked for black pepper and was told they didn't have any, which says a lot for the lack of seasoning and taste. Don't use this place

Just had a terrible experience at a takeaway we have frequented for over a decade. My partner came home with a doner kebab that had about 2 long strips in it - 7 quid, I believe. I went back to complain and ask for either my money back or a fresh kebab. After putting up with being called a 60-year-old c*nt several times by another customer, which met with no request by the staff to tone it down, I was refused my request by the server (who smirked the whole way through) even after stating we would vote with our feet. Whoever the owner is, and I sincerely hope it wasn't the server, who had no manners or customer service expertise on display, I hope you will address my concerns. It's a shame such a good quality establishment in Paisley has been let down in this way.

Been here a few times now, love there fresh Pizza!! The pakora is also very tasty. However the only down side to the shop is there is no card machine in the shop. There is a free cash machine right outside the shop, however last time i visited here, the cash machine was out of order and it was quite a treck to the next one. However if you visit here, bring cash and there are no issues!!

My second and last time I will try to order food in this terrible takeaway. The staff member who I believe is the owner has the worst customer service and manners of anyone, the first time he was rude to my partner and told her to go home and order as he was too busy tonight I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought try again after standing for 5 minutes he came out twice never acknowledged us or said be with you soon, then walked out again looked at us and then walked into the back again, worst service ever, walked up the street to another kebab shop great friendly service and great food. Avoid at all costs worst kebab shop in Paisley.

Absolutely awful service, for a local business that has been here decades and used to be great with customers it’s lost any respect. You are met at the door with an lad barking “cash only” at patrons, the takeaway also has a rule where customers aren’t allowed to speak inside the building and when challenged about the behavior you are told to go else where!

Today I ordered a nan kebab with salad and sauce. Only to find out that they are stingy with the sauce, use a bottom layer of cheese and chips to bulk out the kebab to make it look bigger and serve you less than what you get in a small Donner kebab, making this a rip off. Best avoided

After placing an order on just eat, with a specific delivery time. My order arrived over an hour early. I sent the driver away. Called the restaurant only to be cut off. I then received a message on just eat that they cancelled my order. Thinking that they had made an error I contacted them again to speak to the manager. Thinking he would apologise for their mistake and would sort. No. He infact told me they are very busy and don't have time to look at the tickets that come in. Well, fantastic customer service. For a manager, what disgraceful way to treat your customers. Avoid this restaurant. Believe me there are much better restaurants in Paisley.

I used to love coming to this place. Now I hate it, the 2 x chips cheese and Korma sauce that you charged nearly £6 each for was dry and hardly any Korma sauce on it. Also asked for salt and vinger to be told I was to late... Asked for a chicken Hoggie and when I got home there was no salad or sauce on it, so was dry as anything. Had to pour my pakora sauce on it which then made my pakora dry. Very unhappy at the way I was spoken to and dissatisfied with the food I was given. Will not be back!!! I was told on entry that only two people where allowed in the shop at one time and only with face masks which I didn't have an issue with, then two other customer walked in right behind us with NO masks on??

Treated ourselves to a Saturday takeaway, after a 2 hour wait we rushed to open our order and it looked terrible. A donner pizza with barely any meat and what looked like and entire red onion chopped and scattered all over. The hogie was dry and revolting with barely any meat and even the chips were bad. I had 2 bites and threw it all in the bin. It certainly was not a treat meal!!! Do not order from here it is not worth it.

Ordered Kebab, Curry Sauce and Nan bread at 5.07 and was told 45-60 minute wait. All good this is the norm for this takeaway. After 1hr 15 mins phone to check on delivery and was told they were busy but our order would be out within 20 mins. 40 mins later tried to call but was unable to get through. Tried again 3 more times and still a voice message saying the phone line was busy. Eventually, 2.hrs 40 mins after placing the order our food arrived. I had already cooked as it was now getting too late to wait any longer. To his credit the driver did not make a fuss when we refused the delivery however it was very disappointing as we have used this fast food outlet for many years. A courtesy call to say there would be an extended wait would have been more of a service.

This takeaway used to be good, but they now have a guy running the place that does not bother with customer service.I had a poor experience a few weeks ago when this guy did not seem bothered about the 40 minutes waiting time for a pizza when there was a handful of people in the place.Tonight I decided to give it another chance based on the good pizzas I used to receive, and even though I was told it would be 20 minutes for my order, I decided to wait as I had time on my hands.I actually received my pizza slightly earlier than the stated 20 mins, which I was happy with. However, once outside I tried said pizza, only to discover that the salt content was quite ridiculous. The pizza was inedible.I returned to the takeaway to discuss the matter, and to request a refund. However, the person that appeared to be in charge was very dismissive and arrogant, refusing to entertain the thought of a refund. I wish this person would've tried his inedible foodstuff to see just what his establishment was producing, but he was simply not interested.This place is #120 of 150 restaurants in Paisley, but I cannot imagine there are 30 worse restaurants in the town than this place. Please avoid.

I ordered king size kebab. The amount of meat was quite normal, like for regular portion, but instead I got huge amount of green peepers, quite spicy - so the food was hardly eatable. Quite obviously they save on meat which should be the main ingredient. Furthermore, after 2 hours I was vomiting. This was our third meal from this place: the first time my fiancee felt ill, now - myself. 2 out of 3 meals made us ill - that is actually a reason to ask for some inspection of this place. Definitely I will not buy anything more there - and I highly recommend to avoid this place.
