Most Disliked
Some guests suggest improvements to the wrap preparation, particularly in ensuring the tortilla is hot-pressed to maintain the filling better. This small adjustment could enhance their already solid wraps. A few reviews mention the occasional wait time during peak hours, especially on Thursdays, when the restaurant can reach full capacity. While most diners are willing to wait for quality food, those with time constraints might find it challenging during busier periods. A suggestion also arose for a more extensive dessert menu, as some diners hope to satisfy their sweet cravings post-meal.

I visited this restaurant while traveling to Clacton-on-Sea, as I was trying to find a HALAL restaurant where I could have proper food. After visiting, I was really impressed. The food was fresh, well-cooked and the portion sizes were very generous for the price. The chef, who is also the owner, was amazing. His hospitality and service were excellent. After learning about my origin, he prepared the food in a way that matched the typical taste preferences of my tastebud. The restaurant was very clean and overall, the service was definitely 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Clacton-on-Sea. It’s definitely worth a visit!

I had a chicken shawarma from this outlet and overall, it was a satisfying experience. The place was clean, the staff were friendly, and the seating arrangements were comfortable. The portion size was generous and definitely worth the money. The only suggestion I have is to hot-press the wrap before serving. This would warm up the tortilla and help keep the filling in place, making it easier to eat without the contents falling out. That said, I was happy with the meal and would consider coming back.

Got a takeaway from here last night, large cod and chips made from fresh so had to wait 10 minutes, they gave us a few chips while we waited, the fish was lovely and big and the service was great, even bought it out to the car. Would highly recommend for food and service. We have tried a few chippy's in the clacton area and this is the best....
