The most delicious food. Across the menu. Shakeel is a one of a kind owner. Great guy, always friendly and welcoming. I have known him since he was in Burt drive.

Delicious! I have had a Masala Steak Burger and large chips that was as tasty as can be. Daily specials are sent via Whatsapp and the owner is incredibly friendly and waiting times are communicated well. This is my go-to when I am in Newton Park.

I drove by this little obscure shop for years, however out of boredom I'd thought I'd give the place a go. It's not the most well decorated place, but the food was exceptional for the price. The beef roti was superb and was a massive portion. I'm quite a big eater and was satisfied by the meal. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu.
