Marjayz — Restaurant in Birmingham

Actually quite sad to write this as I feel the owner/chef is on to a good thing, his food is actually nice. My son wanted to treat me for Mother’s Day so we decided to go here as we’d never been. I had the mega box 1 he had mega box 2 … mega box 1 consisted of 5 tiny prawns 3 wings and two tablespoons of mac and cheese for £15 now I don’t mind paying for decent food but £15 for that and the presentation was awful just slapped in a takeaway box, no care or thought I was gob smacked when I opened it, I was embarrassed for the chef like no way had he sent that out like that. My son had the mega box which again for £25 the portions were tiny my son is a big eater hence why he opted for that however I could have ate that amount tbh. One of my wings wasn’t cooked which they were apologetic about and gave me 4 extra wings, but after waiting 1 hour and 30 mins for a child’s portion of food I’d of expected it to be cooked. As I say the food was tasty but I feel they are definitely more focused on profit than actually running a substantial business where people will return because of quality, quantity and service. Needless to say I won’t be returning which is sad Tbh as my son and I are big on supporting small businesses.

Please think of longevity of your business and take on board...

Friends at work told me about this place so obviously was excited to go, got there on a Friday just after 8pm, shop was empty, ordered 2 takeaway meals. Was told it’ll be about 20 minutes I thought yeah cool. 1 hour later I’m still sat in the shop waiting, no real apology and even after waiting for so long my bag didn’t even have all of my order in. Had to remind him about my sides that were missing and wait a further 10 mins. During my time waiting the Phone kept ringing and the chef kept coming out the kitchen to answer the phone to engage in convos on the phone yet multiple customers are waiting for food, like really? Taking more orders from the phone when you can’t even get the orders done for the customers already waiting in the shop! It literally makes no sense.

Despite the hype I’d seen online the food was full of grease, greasy undercooked fries, and greasy wings, the prawns were nice as was the rice and peas but deffo ain’t goin here again.

An hour for chicken wings, strips with fries and prawns...

I don’t live local and visited this place for breakfast after a friend recommended it as was in the area.

Ordered the Brekkie Box 1 x2 for myself and my friend, I don’t eat Turkey so had asked the guy behind the counter if he could swap the Turkey rashers for an extra hash brown on one of them. When the food came, both plates were missing the toast and mushrooms (not sure what happened there…). My friend eats Turkey and the Turkey was removed from both plates (only asked for the one).

When made aware, the staff apologised and did offer to make the toast etc but by the time that would have been ready our food would have got cold so we had eaten it…and no one wants toast on its own so we just said no need to do it now.

Think this was a one off so given this place a 3/5 stars, as when I tried the lunch last time that was great and they didn’t charge me for a slushie, which was...
