Wont be going back again and definitely wouldn't reccommend.
I tend not to rate a company down (takeaway) based upon one or two bad incidents. However I have in the past 2 months ordered 4 times to be met with below standard food and service.
So, as many people know, 《Just eat》is an app in which allows 90 minutes for food to be cooked and to your door from the point of ordering.
On all four occasions I have ordered a very basic:
2 x chicken curry
2 x boiled rice
1 x chicken balls
1 x chips
The app, confirmed by the takeaway stated that on ordering at 1930 it would be delivered at 2100. Previously it has been 10 - 20 minutes late (Not great, but acceptable) on the most recent occasions however, it came at 21:45. A whole 45 minutes late, but they confirmed on the app that it had been delieved on time (shocking). When arriving, the driver seems to park within inches of my car and then shoves the food into my arms while talking on the phone to then wheel spin off.
This has happened on numerous occasions, I have called up and complained to only have the phone put down on me. Not only do they lie to just eat about how long they take to deliver but the food is very below standard, at this point the chips had gone hard and cold, the chicken balls where caked in oil and barely cooked. The chicken curry tasted odd, couldn't tell if it had been warmed up or just poorly cooked. The rice for a surprise was actually quite nice.
I've liked this take away for many years, it has always been a 'go to' place to order from when I get back from work and have people over. However, I shan't be ordering from this establishment again, and I'd suggest anyone who actually wants to eat good food at a reasonable time to shop around as there are many better takeaway's around.
