On our nine day trip to England, this was the worst food we had, and the Market area where we ate was filthy, with overflowing garbage bins, and food strewn/smashed all over the pavement. Not only did our food taste bad, it was a mess to deal with in an outdoor dining area. Also, the food was more Middle Eastern than Greek, but we like both, if it tastes good (it didn't).
These gyros are amazing! I have bought the chicken wrap on multiple occasions, and the quality has been consistent. The veggies are all fresh and the meat is juicy. I also ask for some spice. It comes with seasoned fries as well. Compared to other food shops in the Shambles, this place has the best price/food ratio. I highly recommend this place and will continue to be their customer.
Amazing value for this platter!! £13 for all this - fantastic. Thank you!
Very authentic and delicious food, verified by my Greek friend. I got a chicken gyro without chips. The chicken was delicious and well served, juicy and tender. The sauce was very balanced and the portion was good.
More of a rant. I must just be unlucky. Ordered mixed grill platter. Waited about 20 minutes for it, a long time. Two other customers after me were served their orders before i got mine. After opening my order, there was no chicken (should be sausage, gyros and chicken). I must say the chips were good, but the rest are just ordinary. Shame. There are better food choices all around.
