Another burger chain on Deliveroo Editions, but to be fair right up my street, with uncluttered burgers – nice juicy patty – and tasty slightly seasoned tater tots.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Deliveroo Editions
Category: Takeaway
Burger Dudes
I was actually going to give these guys a little bit of a pass for delivery, because the burger looked delicious, but was just ok, similarly fries looked great and the garlic pizza bread smelled like it was going to be amazing. It was all more or less ok, the pizza bread tending to good but the fries cold. So I thought ah, I’ll try them at the Font – because one strong point in their favour is they are very well priced. But it turns out that although they are based at the Font, they’re not actually the food at the Font; they’re delivery only. So it’s just Ok, better burger options availabile.
Verdict: Ok
Location: The Font, Union Street
Desi Indian
I dunno man, maybe I need to have another go here, but it’s an Indian. It was fine, but they forgot my rice, which just puts me off the whole thing, and when I call, the solution is some free rice or curry next time? Eh. Not inspired to try again.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 7 Oxford Street
Rebel ‘Rito
All funky branding and promises of outrageous flavour, but really, just average. Not bad, but like, if you made them yourself you’d think you’d done ok, but not great. In fairness to them this is reflected in the pricing, you can get a lot for your money.
Verdict: Ok
Location: Can’t find one, presumably some dark kitchen
Etci Kitchen
Had takeaway here but keen to try it in person, really tasty and good value Turkish.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 47 Preston Street
Indian Summer
Had a Deliveroo of this and it was really great. Lemon rice, lamb curry, paneer, Masala chips (yum!) and nice pakora. Thumbs up!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 70 East Street
Big Slice Pizza Co at Fika
Found these guys looking for garlic pizza on Deliveroo. I actually want to try their normal pizzas, because they’re obviously very good at it – really great light dough, pecorino cheese in my case, totally smashed it. Points down only because I could hardly taste the garlic in my garlic pizza despite ordering extra!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 1 Norton Road
Magic Wok
Look, being a Chinese takeaway is rough, there’s loads of good ones. This isn’t one of them, despite sponsoring on Deliveroo.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 49 Preston Street
Good Friends
A Chinese renowned for authentic Chinese food. Had some delivery and it was pretty good, certainly very good factoring in the price.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 24-25 Preston Street
SoBe Burger
It’s a burger place and it’s fine. The chicken strips were also fine. The cajun seasoning on the chips was pretty good. Just not better than the existing good burger joints.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 137 Kings Road
