I had an awful urge to have a spice bag as a treat once a week, but my local Chinese Takeawy only takes cash, and I had none only my card. Hungry and cold, I went into the Macaris Take Away next door. Disappointed not to be having a spice bag, I walked into Macaris only to be hit with the most amazing aroma, and in a millisecond, my craving for a spice bag vanished.

Read moreI have always been happy when asked about my experiences with Macari's takeaway on St Pappins Road, D11. I have already stated their food quality is first-rate - I am a customer since they were opened - to the extent that I did not use other takeaways when they closed for renovations years ago.

As for the atmosphere, Macari's has been a meeting point for me and other locals where we can catch up and chat about life, etc. This is facilitated by the friendly and discrete staff and family that runs...
