Janbo1874 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Spicey Bites Dundee street Went for a Kebab after a game on the way home and shop was surprisingly empty apart from a girl outside on her phone. Waiting for my order i saw the guys check on her hamburger in the Pizza oven and dropped it on the floor, looked at each other glanced at me then picked it up and slipped it back in the tray. I know i should have said something but i was pissed and tired and to be honest the Kebab was alright. Years ago down working near Trinity Academy we noticed a new take away shop open at lunchtime in we went purused the menu and as i was first i chose the burgers and chips. Off she went holding her child and lit a match to light the gas under the chip pan on the gas cooker in the back shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasteless crap. Like, imagine taking the most flavoursome delight you can find and then replacing all of that with ****ing cardboard. Its ****ing offensive. Seems like there is zero desire to provide quality food, they just want your money. Robbing *******s. One and only time I've left a food review. It bothered me that much. *****. Agreed.

superjack Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Can't remember what it was called, a vegetarian Indian restaurant that was on the bridges. Think it was just along from where watties is/was, this was over 20 years ago. They done an all you could eat buffet for lunch. To increase profits all, the pakoras were made with some amount of flour in them so they would fill you up quicker. I managed 2 but was getting the serious boke, as was the rest of our crowd of 6.

chester copperpot Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Glad I don't live in Edinburgh now but when I was there I once tried an Indian that was straight out of a pataks jar. It's now called Asha's in Corstorphine, wasn't sure what it was called before but it was absolutely disgusting. The only positive about now living in Airdrie is that it has absolutely banging takeaways. There's a few that are magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
