Quite possibly one of the worst food stall experiences. We decided to buy from the food stalls instead of buying from the chains inside Swindon outlet. At first glance the food looked fresh and colourful, we ordered a few different meals between five of us. When they started cooking our meals, we saw veggies were browning. The cooked chicken was left out then fried on a hot plate, not stored or refrigerated. The samosa that we had was put in an air fryer that was filthy, when I bit into it, it was warm on one side and stone cold on the other. The falafel was recooked in a filthy looking frying pan with about an inch of oil, so it was greasy and vile. The pickles were so salty they were inedible. The younger girl and boy on the stall were polite but the older lady was unfriendly. We didn’t finish our meals, we would have complained but the weather turned to hail storms. We’ve all had a bad stomach this week. We definitely do not recommend!

Bilal was such a lovely man and gave us such a warm and welcoming service. We ordered some of the tastiest food we’ve had in a while! The meat was so delicious and the sauce and salad was perfect. We already want to order more and it’s only the next day!
