My local spot. Best staff, best HSP, nice little dining area to chill and chat with mates. Anybody who says the meat is burnt doesn't understand what a charcoal grill is, and I have always received a generous serving size here. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Would highly recommend!! The food is so tasty - the meat is very succulent and flavoured perfectly. The rice is nice and fluffy and so tasty. The dips and salad balance the dish nicely! The kebab is also nicely toasted with complimenting flavours. The location is conveniently located and the opening times are a big appeal. The staff are friendly, quick and efficient. Will definitely be a local!
