The amount of chicken in the gyros box is shockingly small. Calling this a dinner is a stretch — it was mostly chips and salad, with barely a spoonful of chicken. Very disappointing.
The food here is absolutely amazing , the flavours are incredible. I ordered the gyros loaded chips with mixed chicken and pork and the portion of meat was so so good!! Would definitely recommend and come back!
Ordered takeaway food. Gyros wrap and Gyros box with extra chicken. The portions of chicken in each were a disgrace. Literally no chicken in the wrap and hardly any in the box. Not authentic tasting and possibly the worst takeaway experience in years. The picture is the Gyros box fries and the chicken. Enough fries, but my goodness how is that even a standard portion of chicken let alone extra chicken that was and extra £2.90 on top. If you order from here , you have been warned and I don't believe the positive reviews. Must have been posted by themselves.
Fantastic food at great value prepared quickly and courteously! Sheffield Plate is always a great place to come and spend time; a nice Greek restaurant is the only thing it was missing. Now we have that box ticked!
Food was yummy and Morgan was very kind (Also I had fun drawing)
