No No's

Absolute one of the best kebabs I ever had, the meat is really something special, always so tender and tasty and high quality. The lovely family working there is always super friendly and up for a chat… they definitely found a frequent costumer in me and I can only recommend to try for yourself… amazing kebabs!!!

Ordered their new butter chicken. Taste is okay, bit too salty, and slightly weird texture. But the worst part is the purchase experience. Staff went to the back kitchen, scooped rice and curry in to a plastic takeaway container, then brought it to the microwave at the front where the cashier is. In the plastic container. It was heated for about a minute, not really that hot. I was a bit dubious, and didn't want to get sick, so I asked if the source of the curry is currently being heated. Staff said yes (granted, he didn't seem to fully understand me at times), then I questioned why it needs to be heated in the microwave again. Then the owner chimed in, telling me it was cooked in the morning at 7am, and defensively asked me what time is it (implying that it's been a while, and it has since cooled down). Then I clarified again if the curry was sitting at room temp. Then they said it's refrigerated. Not very reassured if I am being honest. First of all, that's doesn't really bode well with me to pay $12 for microwaved food, though it is more environmentally friendly without the curry being constantly heated. Second of all, I am a bit concerned that the food is in room temp after all, at risk of bacterial growth.. Third of all, wish I hadn't been spoken to like I am stupid. Wish I hadn't been spoken to as if it is stupid to ask about food safety, when the food is literally microwaved right in front of me, and given to me barely warm.

Such a sad fall from grace. No No's is a few minutes walk and used to be a constant as my take away for the week. The new owners have overseen a steep decline in quality. I have given them multiple attempts to get it right but every time there has been an issue. The salads now always look old and are lacking the freshness of the previous owner. Items are constantly missing from the menu. The opening hours now seem too be at the new owners whim. The final straw was yesterday when I bought the lentil and rice salad. It was on the turn. It smelt off and it tasted off. I tried. I gave them multiple attempts to right the ship but this is it for me. Come back previous owners! You are missed.

I dropped im on Wednesday to get some hommous. The shop looked so dirty and food looked not its usual apetising yumminess. I just bought the hommous rather than leave, because I was embarrassed to just leave. I didn't eat it and was going to bin it and by Saturday it had fermented and exploded in my fridge! Whats happened to this lovely place??

Used to be great, now it lives up to it's name, definitely No Nos. With new owners, the quality of the food has taken a huge dive. The meat was dry and tough, the salads lacked flavour, tabouli seemed to have no lemon in it. I went 3 times with the new owners thinking they may soon get it right. But after 3 times, I'm out. I do not recommend this place anymore. It used to be my favourite go to place.
