We get takeaway from here a lot and have been coming here since it was on Skirving Street, in the spot now occupied by Buddy's. Their pizzas are really fantastic (I'd go here before going to any of the bigger pizza chains in the area) and their pasta dishes are better than the average Italian takeaway. We do tend to stick to our favourite dishes but we've never had a bad experience with the food from here.
The only reason it's not getting 4 stars is because since they moved to the bigger shop on Kilmarnock Road, the home delivery service has been pretty ropey. It is just round the corner but y'know, sometimes you don't want to go out for food and we do get home delivery quite a lot. After having phoned in orders many times, they got a new phone system that didn't recognise my home number (I'm ex-directory but I don't think that should cause a problem these days?) and therefore they were unable to take our order over the phone. When we went round and the guy realised it was us, he was really apologetic but I haven't tried to order by phone since. We order online now but we do still get some problems. One time we had the delivery driver on the phone claiming he was buzzing our buzzer when he wasn't - I even walked down three flights to the close door to check because he was adamant he was at the right address and actually arguing with me on the phone about where I lived. I'd say their delivery service is a bit hit or miss, but if you can call in yourself then it's one of the better takeaways in Shawlands. read more
