Waka Waka MCR — Local services in Manchester

I'd been a big fan of this place for a few years, it was my go-to local takeout. The second to last time I visited though, I'd been given some suspicious chopsticks - looked a little grubby but I thought nothing of it

Then the last time I went, as I left I asked for some chopsticks and the owner handed me a pair. On the way out I noticed the paper was already torn, and I thought I better check because of last time

I pulled the chopsticks out and they were honestly vile. Covered in pieces of food. I immediately stepped back in and held them up in shock, I said "can I get some new ones". He snatched them outta my hand and insisted they are new, as he handed over some actually new ones. I followed up with "no I mean unused", laughing - still in shock as I've been a loyal customer and couldn't believe what was happening. He carried on saying no they're definitely new just some of the packs are open

How much are you saving on re-using chopsticks mate? They must be so cheap, and they're made out of wood so they absorb food and saliva. It's the most disgusting scrotey practise I've ever seen and you can't even do me the courtesy of apologising when I catch you at it

Szechuan beef vermicelli goes hard...

Situated on a busy road, so it can be tricky to get parking during rush hours if you drive.

The menu on here is an old one so I asked for a new one and attached the photo here.

I ordered vermicelli with king prawns. The taste was good, flavour was on point, biggest prawns I've had in a while. However, I asked for extra spicy and I think the gent may have forgot to relay it to the chef. Personally, I'd prefer the vermicelli to be a bit drier though. Portion was a bit small compared to other competitors who charges at a lower price point.

It was cash only whilst I was there and the nearest cash point is the Tesco just few minutes walk down the road.

Food was well packaged in a normal takeout box, then put into a paper bag. While paper bag is more ideal for environment, it was raining heavily and the paper bag can easily break if it got wet.

Overall a very good experience, considering how difficult it is to find similar food places that are halal. Guy was super friendly, place was...

Unfortunately, we were not happy last week. We have ordered from here several times, for large orders, but we have all noticed that the large snack boxes become "less big" each time (we even weighed them to make sure) and now only have a small sauce pan inside instead two. Additionally, the meat and vegan meat alternatives tasted chewy, as if they had been left in a hot pan for hours, and the noodles were overcooked and mushy. What a shame, this was our 'go-to' takeaway but we couldn't justify spending almost £70 on food we barely ate and most of it ended up in the bin. 2/5 - Very disappointed. Delivery was fast (probably because the food was pre-cooked), although the delivery driver had difficulty finding me. The delivery guy complaint that he got treated rudely by takeaway staff member just because his food bags seem...
