well at 1st they were really nice had a few chicken burgers and kebabs from them but the delivery times are pretty rubbish since they changed management
tonight (14/10/08#) made a order for shish kofte chips and a drink
delivery supposed to be within 30 mins according to leaflet
but took a hour and the delivery was wrong it was a shish but not with salad like we asked the kofte was with salad but the chilli sauce wasnt chilli well didnt taste like it it tasted horrible and the chips were soggy
had no chilli peppers like i asked and instead of being a proper kebab in pitta it was in naan bread
now thats not a proper kebab or sticking to the order
out of 10 i give a poor 4 as delivery times and messing up orders also sometimes food not cooked properly.well at 1st they were really nice had a few chicken burgers and kebabs from them but the delivery times are pretty rubbish since they changed management

KFC - Used to be good by Moonlight

Review by Moonlight

Rating: 2.00I use to like the odd kfc meal from here but have been slightly put off going back as I have a problem with the greasy content of the food here. It is ok while you are eating it but after wards it does sit heavy on your tummy and repeats on you when you least expect it to.
I think it is because of the fried coating on the chicken, you only have to touch it to see that it has a lot of oil in it, even though the spices are good, it just does not agree with me any more. shame really.
I have found that the pop corn chicken is less heavy and greasy, but have not tried it for a while and not sure if I want the same effect as before, so might give it a miss in future. No reflection on the menu, might just be me.I use to like the odd kfc meal from here but have been slightly put off going back as I have a problem with the greasy content of the food here.

It was just last week i ordered from Wimpy,I have never been much here to this takeaway.The first time i ordered from here was about a month back,i ordered a burger i didnt really like the taste of it to be honest.

I ordered again last week this time i got a pizza,i was quite pleased with how it tasted.Their toppings were quite nice i was happy with the price and also how fast they made it.

Wimpys are good for the pizzas not for the other food i feel.It was just last week i ordered from Wimpy,I have never been much here to this takeaway.The first time i ordered from here was about a month back,i ordered a burger i didnt really like the taste of it to be honest.

McDOnald's is no doubt a lot of peoples number one choice when it comes to fast food.I usually end up coming here a lot as well,they make some excellent fast food here which is no doubt.

I personally come on the weekends to enjoy a fillet meal,i find the staff here to be good at service and have everything under control.It is hectic here at 12 o clock on any day,so much kids running around and people here.

The food still is made quite on decent time with the amount of people here.Their food here is really good and also a ten percent discount for students here as well.McDOnald's is no doubt a lot of peoples number one choice when it comes to fast food.I usually end up coming here a lot as well,they make some excellent fast food here which is no doubt.

Perfect Pizza is my number one takeaway for getting a pizza,they really make some nice pizzas here.They have a big selection on their menu,they also offer daily offers as well for their pizzas.

They make no doubt some of the best pizzas you can find around,I usually get their chicken and sweetcorn pizza,their crust and base is made delicious.

I love the pizzas from here,they have good prices as well so nothing can go wrong if you order from here!Perfect Pizza is my number one takeaway for getting a pizza,they really make some nice pizzas here.They have a big selection on their menu,they also offer daily offers as well for their pizzas.

Burger King has never really been the one for me to go into,they have been around for years and i probally go once or twice a year.

I find the food here to be not worth its value and also find the overall enviroment inside to be really dirty,everytime i come here with my kid the floors are dirty there is sauces lying all over the floors,the tables are never kept clean.I do not bother eating inside i just take the food outside.Burger King has never really been the one for me to go into,they have been around for years and i probally go once or twice a year.

I came here last week and was quite suprised by how many people do come here now,there is so much teenagers here now causing a lot of trouble and there is too much swearing going on as well here.

I came with my son here we couldnt eat in peace without hearing the F word from across the other tables,On the other hand the food here was good though,we got some good chicken from here with fries.The customer service here was quick,their tables were clean and chairs just sad to see teenagers causing trouble here.I came here last week and was quite suprised by how many people do come here now,there is so much teenagers here now causing a lot of trouble and there is too much swearing going on as well here.

Shemul is probally the last place you want to go as i have found out because of their prices.I first ordered from here over the phone,i found them on the yellow pages.

Their food was meant to be good so i ordered a large khaiai gosh from them.The food took about 20 minutes to come,they gave salad as well and a lot of sauces.I paid for my food to the delivery driver and then he asked me for another 5 pound charge for delivering!

No one had told me that i would occur a delivery charge of 5 pounds or else i would have not ordered from here.Shemul is probally the last place you want to go as i have found out because of their prices.I first ordered from here over the phone,i found them on the yellow pages.

The staff here at Roosters certainly have got an attitude problem as i have learnt,they never make the food on time here.I came here last week to get a kebab roll,the kebab roll was made really late to my suprise along with the chips which were made really oily.

I decided to ask the staff why and they said they are busy,infact what was going on they were all talking to someone in the back,who came in as a customer!I came quite upset by the way they treat their customers here.The staff here at Roosters certainly have got an attitude problem as i have learnt,they never make the food on time here.I came here last week to get a kebab roll,the kebab roll was made really late to my suprise along with the chips which were made really oily.

Anyone who does not like sandwiches do not come here because the only thing you get is sandwiches here and nothing else!

Unlike other sandwich shops which also give you some other snack food as well,this one certainly does not.They take their time here as well making the sandwiches,i am quite a big fan of their prices but to be honest their sandwiches do not have much taste to them.Anyone who does not like sandwiches do not come here because the only thing you get is sandwiches here and nothing else!

The sandwiches here are not the best as i have had them before and had stomach pains.I came here for the first time about a month back,i was quite impressed by the look of the place from the outside.

I decided to get my self a tuna sandwich,they gave it me straight away.I paid them 2.50 for it,when i got out and started eating my sandwich i didnt like the taste at all,the tuna was dry the bread was hard as well.

I still ate my sandwich i could not go back in and complain because there was so much rush here.I decided to eat my sandwich,i had stomach pains the next day for a few hours and it was because of this sandwich.The sandwiches here are not the best as i have had them before and had stomach pains.I came here for the first time about a month back,i was quite impressed by the look of the place from the outside.

Sangers make a lot of decent sandwiches and are known for their decent prices as well.I used to come here quite often before until i found another place for sandwiches close by.

Their is a friendly team of 3 working here all of them are mature,they always are happy looking when i come in.I usually get a Egg sandwich from here,they make it fresh and sometimes they have it ready but they tell me its been 2 hours before to cope with the rush hour at 12.

Their prices are quite cheap not the cheapest though and they also make some good coffee here!Sangers make a lot of decent sandwiches and are known for their decent prices as well.I used to come here quite often before until i found another place for sandwiches close by.

Many people wonder about this place and just walk by,from the outside there is a lot of offers listed on their posters on the shop window.I decided to come here once with my friend to see how good the food here is.

We got a normal sandwich from here,they had a lot of different sandwiches here though you could also get your sandwich toasted from here as well we didnt do that but noticed it was there as an option.

Subway are well famous for their sandwiches,they offer a seating inside as well,their place is quite known for their good sandwiches.They usually make some brilliant ones as well,I personally enjoy their snacks more though here!

Personally a lot of people like their bread toppings i do not so thats why i aint the biggest fan of Subway here.Subway are well famous for their sandwiches,they offer a seating inside as well,their place is quite known for their good sandwiches.They usually make some brilliant ones as well,I personally enjoy their snacks more though here!

Club sandwich is right in the centre of Colchester, right by Culver Square, so it is a really easy place to go to grab a quick bite to eat when you are out and about shopping in town. It is a bit like a posher, more reasonably priced Subway. They have a variety of different sandwich fillings to choose from and have in a freshly baked baguette, which is nice. They are always very quick getting your food ready, despite making it fresh for you. They used to do a loyalty card scheme, which meant you got a free sandwich for every few you bought, which was always good.Club sandwich is right in the centre of Colchester, right by Culver Square, so it is a really easy place to go to grab a quick bite to eat when you are out and about shopping in town.
