Me and my partner both got fish and chips. His were fine. But my chips were awful. Very dark brown and hard - they had clearly been cooked twice. Which made no sense, as there were lots of customers waiting so they would not have been sitting there long. Crazy. The fish was really nice though. We wont be coming back though as the chips should have been edible.

Well it’s in the name fish and chips, the man in front questioned the quality of the chips and we just laughed, well he is was right, the chips were absolutely disgusting, greasy and soggy. Sad to say it was just awful.

We had goujons & chips takeaway which was awful. Hardly any fish in the goujons which was just a load of batter and tasteless. The chips were even worse. Hard bits of burnt chippings and inedible. Total waste of money.

I have always found the fried fish to be fresh and tasty. The chips are good. The staff are friendly. Recommend the fried plaice in matzah meal.

Fish & Chips we ate in - the fish was fresh & moist but tasteless. The chips horrible & greasy as if they had been cooked several times and reheated. This use to be a lovely f&c shop, very disappointing and not cheap.

Friendly service, COD was massive for the price, but the batter wasn’t that great. Chip portion was big as well. Tasted better but it was ok for a quick lunch

Have been going to Boobas for years. Me and wife are Gluten free so have are fish fryed in Matzso meal and it's always great, this time being no exception. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars, is they use a different oil to cook in now and it's not as good, wish they would go back to the older type of oil.

Have been to boobas many times with good experience for takeaway, I'm sorry to say I will not be going back, I ordered place & haddock mushy peas & chips, The fish was large & tasty, but tasted a little bit dried out, makes me wonder how fresh it was the chips were very disappointing, small bits mostly, some larger chips but very hard & dry, Had been reheated or cooked many times.mushy peas ok. Meal was overpriced for a takeaway £17:10

Disgusting, we had vommiting & food poisoning 3 hrs after eating their horrible fish n chips which was obviously very bad quality frozen fish and dry, overcooked chips, mostly small offcuts. All we ate all day before was bowl of corn flakes and an apple each so it was them that obviously caused the vommiting. Eat elsewhere in future!!

The food in boobas is the best fish and chips you can get anywhere and the texture of the food is just so good. If you are a fish fan then you should come and have some food in this very nice restaurant :-)

Having been a loyal customer for over 2 years I'm sad to say I shall not be ordering food from here again. The fish cod fillets did not taste good I doubt it was even cod. I could not eat my chips either they were hard like pellets disgusting taste! Previous orders tasted fine so unless they've changed suppliers and chef it is a mystery!

Went to Boobas because the usual Chippie was closed on a Sunday! What a stroke of luck. Placed an order for takeaway and arrived a few minutes early. Offered a small bag of chips - "whilst you wait, Sir". The grilled plaice was cooked to perfection whilst my daughter enjoyed the vegetarian burger and chips with salad. The staff are pleasant and the restaurant is refreshingly clean and inviting. The pricing is very reasonable. If I had to make a critical observation, then I would recommend you wear something that can be washed as soon as you get home - but this is a problem with any chippie shop. Boobas is now my local for fish n chips.

There's fish & chips and there's Booba's fish and chips, we've eaten here on many occasions and never been disappointed. All the fish and chips are freshly fried to order (so expect a little wait) and the portions are extremely generous The menu, as one would expect, has all the popular fish which can be grilled if preferred.

Please see my previous reviews. Excellent quality and quantity remain unchained. With large takeaway orders, they often throw in a gherkin, and if you are kept waiting a cone of chips are given as a taster. Can't beat it Cannesdid ..... surfingsyd

Very good fish and chips, they cook your fish while you wait. I always get a gherkin with my order as it goes really well with the fish. They're open on Sundays too, when all the other chip shops are closed. Worth the money!

I like it, the fish is a good size, well cooked, and comes with both chips and salad. Basic - no table cloths - marble tables. Good value. Does not do skate - limited menu.

This is my local fish and chip shop and restaurant and over the many years I have used it have found it reliably good. They cook when you order so fish and chips always fresh and their grilled fish also delicious. I like the way they serve pitta and Humas while one waits. The restaurant is not as busy as the take away and can lack atmosphere but if you want a satisfying fish and chip meal try it.

Pretty bog standard fish and chips, bit dirty, seems to be popular with a lot of old folks but represents good value for money and good portion sizes. Tip: When you order takeaway they only start putting it on when you turn up.

Car parking in street but restrictions apply. Wife and I called in for supper after being recommended by friend and we were not disappointed. They only serve fresh fish so no frozen soggy mess here, only beautifully fried tender white fish. The chips were crisp outside and soft inside, just as they should be and no wonder Boobas has been nominated for the Best Chips in UK. The large serving of Cod and Chips was accompanied by a mixed salad and served with Tartare Sauce. This was definitely the best Fish and Chips we could remember eating for a long time and I have given five stars for the quality of the food and the excellent service we received. Well worth a visit if you want the best.

Situated in Hale Lane Edgware, opposite Deansbrook Garage. Parking if you are lucky outside, if not, in the surrounding streets. Beautifully cooked fresh fish and chips to eat in, or take away. Friendly service. The restaurant is a bit drab, but the food is delicious and well presented. Very large portions, even if you order small, Very reasonably priced fare as were the drinks. Children's menu available Well worth a visit..... and open on Sundays Cannedid ....surfingsyd

My husband and I had lunch there yesterday. We ordered 2 fish and chips and 2 cokes. I saw the prices in the shop window. 1 fish and chips £7.99. We had to pay £30. Maybe 1 cola was £7.00. and they don't give a receipt It's terrible that guests are being cheated. I hope no one enters this " first-class shop"

Este lugar abre recientemente y tiene un dueño que acosa a mujeres y niños porque decide entrar al área local ya que están haciendo una parrillada, en terrenos que son privados, todo el vecindario está hablando de su comportamiento repugnante solo porque no quiere "competencia" de los residentes privados que tienen un picnic privado. Ocúpate de tu propio maldito negocio, se supone que este negocio es una empresa social, una empresa social, mi a s sUna cosa más, su comida es cara en primer lugar.

Honestly, I've been really disappointed with this place recently. The food is expensive and the quality is usually quite good which is why I go here. It's a beautiful place and it's worth paying for. Put the last few times I've been here. The food has taken a really long time. The waiter took 30 minutes to even take our order yesterday. When the food did come it was oily, bland and overcooked. At 90 pound for 1 starter and 1 main course, with a couple of drinks, I expect quality to be much better than that. I also asked the waiter on three separate occasions over more than half an hour for a drink. In the end I actually gave up. Really disappointed

Very unpleasant; I went to that pub there one night during the summertime this year at 9pm and I got there within the time limit but the lady with the brown curly hair who worked there, answered the door to me was so rude; I told her politely that I just wanted to come in and use the toilet really quickly and be on my way, and she wasn't having it. But she'd shown an attitude and walked away; when I raised the complaint, they got back and told me that I was being rude and the staff there had all rights to refuse entry which I told them I wasn't. I'm never going back there again = don't even go there.
