Frangoz — Restaurant in Calderdale

DISGUSTING FOOD 🤮 - AVOID AT ALL COSTS - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE

This place doesn't even deserve the 1 star but no option to give 0 stars...

I visited Frangoz on the 5/11/22 after a few years with my family and had one of the worst dining experiences ever! On arrival we went upstairs to the dining area and found it was empty to which I was very surprised as in the past this place was always busy. Visited the toilet which had a door that you couldn't close properly or lock.

We ordered the loaded box meal x 2, 2 x butterfly chicken steak meals and a chicken parmesan. The meals don't come with drinks so they were ordered separately. Total cost was around £47. On the menu they have all sorts of drinks advertised, I asked for j20 and was told they only have the carbonated drinks.

The chicken steak meals arrived in tin foil containers and plastic cutlery. Chicken was 2 tiny pieces of chicken breast, lukewarm and overcooked and really really dry and had a funny smell to it. Mash wasn't too bad but wasn't hot, seemed like it had been reheated in a microwave. The steamed veg that came with it didn't look very appetising either so I didn't try that.

The loaded box meals wasn't any better either. My daughter took a bite of her chicken burger and noticed it was pink inside. I didn't get a pic of this as there was a member of staff nearby who took it away as soon as I mentioned it and it was replaced with another burger which wasn't much better - pic attached of the replaced burger. The chicken burger was really dry and hardly edible. In the end we left most of our meals and left frangoz still hungry. I ended up getting pizzas on my way home for the kids from a trusted takeaway.

We have all had severe stomach cramps and a bad stomach too. I didn't throw up probably as I hardly ate any of my meal but all other members of my family were sick too.

Like I said earlier, I visited after a few years and the food used to be some of the best around - NOT ANYMORE! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT...

Decided to give this place a go after seeing the Heyman review on Youtube

Had a look at the reviews here, which didn't seem great.

Went with my kids, 8 and 11. It was a 1/2 hour drive

Got there, found some cheap parking closeby and in we went!

Place was smart, clean and the chap who took my order was pleasant enough. I appreciated his patience as the kids made their choices... eventually!

Turned out they didn't take cards, but he was kind enough to get on with my food as I went to find a cash machine which was very close..phew!!

Ordered the following:

12" Kebab stuffed tandoori chicken Pizza Peri Chicken Burger Plain Chicken Burger 1/2 Peri Chicken

Seating upstairs was good, but a wipe of the tables would have been appreciated. No biggy, but still it's the small things..

Waited about 20 mins for the food to arrive to the tune of 'Dad, we're starving!' Not surprised as I'd only given them some fruit at lunch...

So the food...

8 year old dived at the pizza. Turned out that the crust was 1/2 cheese, 1/2 kebab. He scoffed 2 slices quickly although he only usually eats one. This is a good sign...

11 year old loved the plain burger, but 'complained' that there were too many chips most of which she brought home. The burger had gone, and she was (unusually) happy. Again a good thing

My Peri burger was delicious!! Nice soft bun, tender and tasty chicken, nice sauce and good salad. I'm going back for another one of these. Again, a good sign as I don't like wasting money.. I did eat all my chips, and was very full!!

The Peri chicken was well, just good. Not as awesome as everything else, but still good. You'd eat it, enjoy it, but probably wouldn't go back for it. You would for everything else

And the pile of dipping sauces were very nice too!!

So, we were happy, came home with over half a pizza, chips and a Peri chicken leg

So, if you're unsure about the reviews, but want to try somewhere new, I'd take a drive down, go Saturday at 4pm, and fill your boots

It's likely you'll see us there...

Experience of Frangoz. It's my second visit to Frangoz. I find this place a cosy warm small two-story restaurant( ground and first floor). They have a wide variety of items listed on their menu. Their staff was humble, polite and nice. I asked them “What's their speciality? To which they replied “ Our burgers and pizza”. I decided to have one Peri Peri Chicken Salad and Beefy Fries with Coca-Cola. They told me to sit upstairs. That I thought to be healthy and filling. The dining place is clean and tidy. The interior colour scheme is warm and warm lighting in it. Their waiter brought the food within 5 minutes with a napkin and spicy sauce. Food Review. Waiting time was small. The quality of Beefy Fries and Perri Perri Chicken was amazing. The meat and mice were cooked to perfection. The quality of the vegetables was also great. It seemed saucy but not too much. The flavour is mild and spicy. I pretty much liked it. The cost of food items was 10.88£. I also ordered Coca-Cola for 1.29 £. Beefy Fries: Fries were cheezy and saucy which goes well with minced Beef. The serving was good. Peri Chicken Salad could also be served with rice but I opted for salad. I liked it more. The chicken was tasty and the salad's vegetable was fresh. It was made of spicy chicken, iceberg, bell peppers tomato. It tasted good with the spicy sauce they served. I enjoyed both of the items, with zero food wastage. Cons. The sink for the hand wash was upstairs and had only quite hot water. Frangoz is ‘cash only’ when dining in. They still have the old menu and prices are increased by 1£ for the items that I ordered. Their portion is normal. Conclusion: Certainly, I’ll be going to this place again to try their burgers, wraps, lamb chops,...
