The Grove Inn in Calderdale

We celebrated our Christmas party at Coopers at the weekend. All the staff were friendly & welcoming and food was incredible. Highly recommended lots on the menu to choose including gluten free and vegetarian options to suit all.

If you’re looking for a late-night bite in Todmorden, you might think Alibaba Kebab Shop would hit the spot. Unfortunately, my recent experience left a lot to be desired. I ordered a shish kebab, expecting the usual fresh mix of meat, salad, and maybe even a bit of care put into the preparation. What I got was quite the opposite. The shish kebab was a disappointment from the first bite. The meat was super dry and hard, with no hint of moisture or tenderness. It felt like eating overcooked scraps that had been left out for far too long. To top it off, there was no salad—just a sad, lonely pile of meat with absolutely no attention to detail or flavor. The dish seemed to be thrown together without an ounce of love or thought, as if my order was more of an inconvenience than anything else. Now, I get it. If you’re coming back from a night out, maybe this is what you settle for—it’s late, you’re hungry, and expectations are low. But here’s the thing: if this is the standard of food you’re happy with, it might be time to reassess your choices. Food should bring at least a hint of joy, even when it’s simple takeout, and Alibaba Kebab Shop fell miles short of that. Bottom line: if you’re sober and looking for quality, you might want to pass on this one. If you’re drunk and desperate, well, that’s a different story—but don’t expect to be impressed.

Error rectified and delivered, food was piping hot. Thanks for the extra food.

Best pizza in the valley with service to match. Only the best quality ingredients and it shows! Lovely friendly staff. Good selection of Vocation beers. 5 stars well deserved.
