I always visit this place whenever I’m in Luton because the food is amazing I’m not going to lie! I especially love the chicken and chips. The service is always polite, but I do feel that the guy at the counter could keep the conversation a bit shorter. He’s friendly, which is great, but sometimes it’s a bit too much, and I’d prefer a quicker, more straightforward experience. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for great food!

Good for chicken and chips. Kebab roll is legendary. Great for the price. Idrees is nice and friendly but as some have commented I imagine could be a bit OTT for some, personally I like him and get on with him but just things with a pinch of salt!

This place is great, they have a variety of food options including traditional asain sweets and tea. The customer service is great staff are caring and hospitable! Food was tasty with the donner meat being better than expected! Food was priced at a reasonable prices also. This place closes late so it's good for those who work late or want a late night meal.
