Take-aways to avoid...

mrskitty · 08-09-2007, 21:09

Me and the OH decided to treat ourselves to a take-away tonight, we couldnt decide which one then we found a leaflet that had been delivered a few days back from 'FRESH', the one on Blackburn road.
Overall it was..........terrible.
We paid £6 for a 'fresh special kebab' we asked for naan bread and got it on a pizza base

it mainly consisted of doner meat although advertised as containing chicken,lamb and doner.Wasn't much to it and to top it all we asked for garlic sauce and got MINT sauce instead

The 10" garlic bread with cheese was more like 6" shriveled,hard frisbee.
So moral of story guys..................
DONT GO THERE.
Any other take-aways to avoid in Accy???

Just my opinion btw.

That sounds vile.

I haven't had a takeaway from Accy for years so don't know of any hell holes myself.

Was it Turkish?... Iv'e heard that Turkish men do tend to exaggurate when it comes to size!

There was a time when I really recommended Slice From Heaven in Ossy but we went there on Thursday and it really wasn't up to much. They've changed the type of cheese that they use and it was very bland. Also they said the seafood pizza would have anchovies in it - they were mussels! I like my seafood pizza to contain tuna, prawns and anchovies on top - all the other stuff makes it chewy, plus it was all mixed into the cheese and not on top. Also, I specifically asked for no mushrooms on the mexican heat pizza but they put tons in so Chris had to take it back.

I don't know why they changed their recipe.

In all fairness when he took it back they gave him a free garlic bread which was very tasty.

yeah that fresh is a disaster

its basically the old place with a new name. rebranding it doesnt make it any better *LOL*

the ones in the town centre around the bridge/baileys etc they aint much better either

personally if i order it would be from either amico's on st james st *i think* or petra

Recommend, Amico, excellent pizzas
Express(b/burn rd) very good pizzas
Chineese, Kwong Ming, b/burn rd the best chineese by far.
Chippy, Sea breeze moscow mill st,bit dear but massive portions.

AVOID...

Rinos pizza Union rd ossy, very poor IMO.
Avenue Parade chippy, warmed up chips, not good!
Kings pizza shop b/burn rd, very poor indeed+old wilting discoloured salad.
Sarahs cafe, top of india st. accy, the most overpriced badly made sandwiches I've ever had the misfortune of purchasing.

Don't get takeaways very often but can recommend OMAR'S for really good food at reasonable prices. Free delivery after 5pm if your order is over £6 . The place is absolutely spotless.
