    Ah Carlitos what a special place in my heart you have. You see there are certain places that really…read morestick out in your mind when you start out at University and the amount of takeaway places you eat from it takes a special place to do so. Carlitos is one place which I will always fondly remember because I have had countless delicious takeaways from here admittedly most of them when I have been copiously drunk. Carlitos is therefore always associated with good times, to be fair I'm not sure if it tastes so good sober but it has to be worth a go. The staff are amongst the friendliest I have encountered since coming to Liverpool and there service is top notch If you live in the Smithdown area and you're a drunken student type then Carlitos will be right up your alley.

    Amongst the myriad of takeaways along the student-populated Smithdown Road, Carlitos stands out as…read moreprobably one of, if not the best at the ancient art of combining cheese and tomato with bread. It offers the usual kebab/pizza shop fare but it is their pizzas that really set it apart from the other Smithdown takeaways as they are consistently doughy, generously topped and delicious. Carlitos also offers several meal deals which represent good value for money as many cost less than five pounds, including the 'student special' (or 'student spesh' as it is commonly known) - a personal favourite of mine. Its quality food, excellent prices and cheerful staff leave you under no illusions as to where to go when on Smithdown Road - there is only one way; Carlito's way.

    Good Fella's isn't my ideal takeaway, serving pizzas and burgers and all things greasy and bad for…read moreyou, this is the perfect place when you're starving and desperate for something disgusting after one too many pints of lager. I ordered once when sober and the food was cold and took over an hour to arrive, it was also very very greasy. It seemed to have been reheated - I didn't eat it. I'd avoid as there are many places which serve similar style food at a much better quality.

    Goodfellas, cliché of a name and as you would expect this place specialises in Pizzas. There are…read morevarious other places on the Smithdown road which provide the same type of fast food and unfortunately for this place many of them do a much better job. For a place with an Italian name you would expect them to be experts in an Italian classic such as a good pizza but this is not in fact the case. The waiting time can be long and the staff don't really appreciate being bothered whilst they are busy which is not a great attribute to have for those who work in a people orientated business. The food is never really above average and you are a brave person if you try anything other than a standard margarita pizza. Goodfellas doesn't try hard to be anything other than average and you can see that in the results they get, if you're drunk and in need of some grub there are worse places you could visit but there are also a lot that are better.

    Brilliant takeaway. You know you are on to winner when you can eat a kebab, enjoy it and not feel…read moredirty for doing so before 10pm at night! Most of the food here is cooked in atraditional clay oven style which means that it's not quite as fast as your usual fast food outlet but if you get the chops by God you'll be glad you waited. Chops? In a takeaway? Yup, regular chops, cooked so the meat just falls of the bone and with a slightly spicy sauce - can't beat it.

    An Egyptian takeaway is not something you see too often but The Nile does the nation proud and is…read moreone of my firm favourites amongst the menagerie of food stores along the Smithdown road. I'm not entirely sure what is so different about clay oven kebabs but one thing is for certain you can taste the high quality. I have ventured into this place on many a drunken night and have always found it to be excellent value and excellent taste on the whole. This place is different to your standard takeaway and even serves roast chicken and the best word to describe that particular taste is succulent, I cannot describe what a treat it was to get roast chicken as opposed to your standard takeaway fare. This place is really refreshing and does the job whatever your needs, with excellent staff and great value The Nile is one of the best places to visit in Smithdown.
