Delicious food. Have ordered from here 10+ times and haven't had a bad experience yet.
Great care is taken with the food, and the portions are very generous. Great value for money. Can easily recommend here if you're looking for quick and reasonably priced grub on the go.

we order food there quite often.. but today was the last time... the quality is a complete tragedy.. the wraps are a joke, just a salad dressing and a piece of chicken. you probably pay for the packaging..
