The staff are efficient and friendly with a good knowledge of their menu and are happy to vary the dish you have ordered to suit your tastebuds. For example extra soy sauce or chilli, or leaving out the beansprouts if you so wish! We have tried many dishes on the menu over the past seven years, but are still to have tried each and every one! They also deliver and we have always been lucky enough to receive our order within thirty minutes. An excellent all-rounder!

"Uggghhh... where am I? And what is that awful smell? Why is it everything green, and foggy? And…read morewhere have all my friends gone?" It's been four hours now since I visited Dixy Chicken. I'd ordered a sizzler chicken burger, but either it was deep-fried in marshwater, or the burger was over a hundred years old; either way, my guts, my friends and now my wallpaper is beginning to pay the price. As I carefully reattach the skin peeling from my fingers to write this review I can remember the great (but slightly cheap) taste of the deep-fried burger, hash brown and bread bap. The bun did exactly what it was supposed to (it deteriorated when I picked it up) and the mayonnaise tasted like it should (cheap, like it was from a wholesaler's finest value range). The service was informal (read: "scarce" - it took several minutes for the guy behind the counter to acknowledge me, despite the fact he was standing within three feet of me), the interior was clean (the polar opposite of the air in my nearby proximity) and I ordered, paid, got my Zinger Intestine-Obliterator Tower, and went to my car to secretly eat it. Fast forward to four hours later and I'm wondering how much febreeze I have under the sink. Will this smell ever come out of my clothes and car upholstery? Will my kids and my friends ever forgive me -- nay, will they still be alive despite the putrid oxygen-depleted atmosphere that now orbits my waistband? Why do I feel so unhappy, in so much abdominal pain, and why does nobody want to talk to me for more than a few seconds? Only time will tell. However, one thing's for sure; I've been here twice now, and am fairly confident that three will *not* be the magic number.

Very bad customer service and total liers. I was waiting for food to be delivered for 2 hours. 4…read moresmall hungry kids. I kept ringing to ask were the food was and kept getting told it's coming. In the end they lied said food had been cancelled by just eat ..total lie. They said they can't deliver my food and were not willing to sort anything out. I had to contact just eat who kindly gave me a refund. By this time it was 11pm kids had fallen asleep hungry. I am so annoyed by this service absolutely shocking.

Without a doubt the worse eat in or take away ANYWHERE…read more I was feeling hungry and after skipping breakfast and lunch I was so hungry I could eat a horse. My business partner and I decided we would risk it all and take a gamble on The Charcoal Chicken which is located at 1158 Stratford Rd, Hall Green, Birmingham From the exterior of the building to the inside - it was filthy, but we were so hungry that emotion beat logic and my business partner and I wondered in. I'm not joking, if there were any mice in this place they would have been wearing overalls. Needless to say we decided to eat, after all any food is better than none when you are famished - right? The man who took our order could hardly speak the Queen's English, however after playing Charades for 2 minutes he got the message - one piece of chicken with fries and a drink times two. The bill came to a reasonably priced £4.98 - he took the five pound note off me and placed it in the cash register, without giving me my change back. I didn't bother to ask him for my change I decided that they needed the money more than me. We sat down and as I glazed around the establishment - I started to have second thoughts about entering into these premises. The food arrived and as my business partner stared at his plate a spider crawled out from the salad. He stood up and took the plate over to the man and said "I would like you to change this please", "what's wrong" said the man "Well I can't remember ordering a spider with my lunch". Just then the manager came over. He was an overweight man who look quite angry - "what's the problem" - My business partner pointed to the eight legged spider and said "that's the problem" - the reply 'What do you except for £4.95' and then walked off. I followed the manager into the kitchen and said 'Do you mean if I paid £24 I would have got a better quality spider like a black widow or tarantula?' he looked at me bewildered. I then told him where he could stick his chicken and walked off. My Review - stay away 0/10

They have a formula that they never fail to follow - a crisp base, stringy cheese, rich tomato sauce leads to a flawless pizza every time. There are a selection of toppings from meat feast to spicy Mexican, they welcome your own inspired creations too. The prices begin at 5.95 for an 8 inch up to 14.95 for 16 inch, which relative to what they used to be starting at 3 quid is disappointing, but you'll still get good value for your money and it's cheaper than most large chains. They also do burgers, chicken wings, garlic bread and more. I highly recommend Torinoz if you find yourself on the Stratford road in need of a calorific , fast food fix.

Very good service. Very Tasty Nan Breads, as though ought to be. They know what a Nan Bread is. They have different flavours available & very reasonable prices. I mean very very reasonable prices. You buy a regular pizza with a cheese and meat topping and end up paying upto £5-£7, but if you buy a cheese and mince meat Nan bread from there, it will cost you £1.50 and the taste is awesome.. Its a Halal shop. Their publicity spread very fast through word of mouth. which definitely reflects their taste and price they have and the service they provide. You can eat in or take away. You can order over the phone, they also cater for parties and special occasions. Definitely recommended to all the locals.
