Can anyone hear the word Friends without the theme tune following? Well, it's in my head now…read moreanyway. Opposite The Nile, Friends is another rather decent clay oven clad flame griller of the takeout ilk on that expansive stretch of Smithdown takeaways. The food is brill especially the mixed kebab and the special garlic bread (Cheese, mushrooms and jalepeno. It's aneurism inducing but mighty fine.) Also, check the student deals if you need to fill a huge gap or have thrown the diet out of the window. Student meal: 10" pizza with two toppings, chips, two drinks...And a chicken fillet burger for £6.50! That is a serious amount of fastfood. We're not just friends now, we're blood brothers.

So after two nights in Liverpool I was ready to have a proper kebab. Being an American, I always…read morethought a kebab was a skewer but was confused because i never saw anyone eating them after a night out in the UK. Friends was close to where I was staying and was told that it was the best spot for them ever so after a night out in Liverpool we went over and grabbed some. The naan took less than a minute to cook in the clay oven and all the ingredients looked fresh. Once at the house we devoured them and instantly wanted more. I had no idea this is what everyone was talking about. I only wish I was able to eat one a day or every couple hours.

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.

They called just asking for an update and then were called a liar over the phone that the order had appeared. The owner and delivery driver then drove to my house and verbally assaulted my housemate and then called them a liar saying they had proof of the order when no food had showed up. Housemate asked for proof and then the Delivery driver & Owner both didn't show this "Proof" and drove off leaving my housemate with no food. Very appalling behaviour and the owner should be ashamed of themselves shouting at a young woman who was just wondering where their food was. VERY disappointed in this business and they should be ashamed at their poor customer service

This plaice is pretty darn good. See what I did there? Oh, God I kind of hate myself. Anyway, the guy working there is one of those jokers, you know, "Do you want salt n vinegar?"... "No, thanks" ... "Why what's wrong with my vinegar?!" Cue, awkward exchange and slight laugh, but it makes the experience that bit more memorable. On a sunny day it's nice to just get some good ol' English Fish and Chips and sit on Sefton Park and enjoy the weather, whilst looking quintessentially English and/ or like a hobo.

Friendly staff here and my friend always tries to sneak her food in to Kelly's pub over the road. Did I mention they have cans of Rio here? I don't know how I haven't come across it before, but I purchased my first one here. Tropical heaven in a can. If you're in need of sandwich inspiration then you've come to the right place!

This place offers burgers, rolls, burger meals, loads of sandwiches, a selection of breakfasts and breakfast barms, a great range of pastas and salads and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. What more could you want? It's convenient for students etc as its located band on the middle of Smithdown Road, and it's always busy so the food is guaranteed to be fresh. I got myself a coronation chicken sandwich and it was delicious, the sauce was just right and not too creamy as it is in some places that I've scoffed in. I think it cost just under £2.00 which is a bargain for a fresh sandwich. Therefore I decree that I would fully recommend this little takeaway to anybody who likes to eat!

But once inside it's as though you've been allowed to sit and drink tea in someone's lounge, as well, it is kind of someone's lounge. It's very retro and bright and they have a wonderful little fire place and 70s mismatched plates and cups and saucers. The appeal of this place definitely has something to do with the homely and welcoming vibe, even though it's small you feel rather special here. The food is all veggie and they have loads of healthy stuff (Greek yoghurt with toasted oats, fresh fruit and honey, I think so!) and drinks especially are dead cheap. They also have the most amazing homemade cakes- the baked cheesecake and cream, is a sure winner, so if you fancy a snack and a little step up into a quirky little cafe this is the place to go after a stroll down the kooky lane of Larks.
