A1 Golden Fry — Restaurant in England

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

Ordered twice from this place via just eat and will never order from here again. The first order a week ago was two gyros wraps and paid roughly £18. The food arrived a little late and was luke warm at best. We assumed this was down to just eat, not sending a driver in time, and thought nothing of it. The food was pretty good. We decided to order again this week, and we ordered their box meals for roughly £16 each. This time we got three messages from just eat to advise that the delivery would be delayed, it was now 21:00 and we had to be up at 06:00 for work the next morning, we called the takeaway directly and arranged to go across town and collect it ourselves. The manager said he would call just eat and arrange for a refund of the delivery charges, and we went to get our food. Upon returning home and opening our order, we found that the food was stone cold and inedible. We were also shocked at the portion sizes as they certainly did not balance up with what we paid compared with our previous order! Essentially, we paid twice the price this time for one extra pitta, six haloumi fries, and the boxes they came in!!! We called them directly and requested a refund. The manager agreed, and we went back with the food and was told that they had once again called just to eat to arrange a refund back on to our card. We thought this would be the end of it, and we chalked it up as a "sign" that we shouldn't have gone for a cheeky mid week takeout. A few days later, and still no refund from just eat, so we contacted them, and they have refused to refund us. So we have been screwed by this place and just eat, who will also be getting a one star review as this is not the first time they have provided...

Having enjoyed Greek and Mediterranean cuisine from various places in the past, I was genuinely looking forward to trying Athenian. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. I ordered The Beast Chicken Gyros Wrap along with Gyros Loaded Fries. First and foremost, both items arrived lukewarm at best. For a dish that should be hot and freshly made, this was disappointing right out of the gate. As for the “Beast” wrap—it was anything but. The portion size was underwhelming, and frankly, I suspect there was little to no difference from the regular wrap, which is significantly cheaper. The name set a certain expectation, and the product simply didn’t deliver. The loaded fries, priced at nearly £7, were similarly disappointing. They consisted of standard frozen chips topped with chicken and sauce—bland and unremarkable. There was nothing that justified the premium price or aligned with the bold, fresh flavors typically associated with Greek street food. Overall, I found the meal lacking in both flavor and value. Two stars feels generous, but reflects benefit of the doubt for what may have been an off day. That said, I won’t be ordering from Athenian again,...

I ordered a large fish and chips with a large mushy peas and a bottle of Pepsi Max.

Unfortunately my experience today left much to be desired as it was very underwhelming. The fish was soggy (like it had been left to sweat) and not crispy (like it had just come out of the fryer) the peas were watery and to top it off instead of Pepsi Max I was given diet coke.

I don't know why they bother asking for a contact number if they don't bother to ring you and let you know that they had to make a substitution. I don't feel as though the £13 odd I'd paid was justified at all.

Oh and it's not a very "non-contact" delivery either. Said I was self isolating in the notes when I placed my order and yet I still had to get the food out of the delivery divers hand? Non-contact would mean putting the delivery on the doorstep and stepping back. Will go elsewhere...
