Red Rose in South Gloucestershire

I had been curious about this Indian takeaway for sometime, and today, sadly at my cost, I satisfied that curiosity. Being exceptionally busy with work, I was unlikely to be home until the mid evening. I was already quite hungry, having taken my breakfast at about 07:00 and it was now 13:30. So, I felt that a takeout, at some point in the next hour, would best suit my needs, and this place was directly across the road from where I was standing. I had plans to sit in a local park, and eat my meal whilst enjoying the fresh air on this lovely warm summer’s day. On returning to my car I checked out my purchase of a mixed meat doner kebab, with BBQ sauce and a side of chips. I saw that there was absolutely no way I would be able to eat this on my lap without spilling it all down my front. There wasn’t even a napkin provided. What I was expecting was a pita-bread, with some doner meat, a light salad and a good dash of BBQ sauce. What I actually got was a half a Turkish flatbread; it was about 20cms long, 15cms wide and nearly 1.5cms thick. On top of this was heaped the meat, BBQ sauce, a whole green chilli pepper, and a absolute mass of shredded lettuce (no other ingredients). This was essentially a massive open sandwich. I attach photos which show what I am describing, So, I returned home (fortunately a short drive) and managed to lift most of the meal out of the transit box. I then placed the ‘kebab’ carefully onto a 27cms diameter dinner plate; the food filled 90% of the plate. To be fair the meat and sauce were mostly good, but the bread was totally the wrong texture for this type of meal, being far too substantial. The chips were not very good either; I would guess that the frying oil hadn’t been changed in a while. I ate the meat and the ‘salad’, and a few of the chips, I also tried the bread which was quite chewy. I then gave-up eating it: I really wasn’t enjoying it. This meal cost me £10.58! Needless-to-say, if this is the quality of food I can expect, I will not be returning here. This meal cost me £10.58! Needless-to-say I will not be returning here.
