CHILLI CON CARNE = Trauma. Didn't taste fresh at all, smothered in unmelted cheese. After asking for the cheese to be melted, it was blasted in the microwave. The dish was just white rice with unflavoured dry and chunky minced meat. Zero flavour, my envisionment of prison food.
HABLOODYRISSA: If you want diarrhoea, consume the fresh harrisa. We were gagging from this intense, bitter paste. Even the stench was traumatising. Your eyes will shrivel and your brain will dribble out of your nostrils.
MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH COUS COUS: Chicken was nice but nothing special. Cous cous tasted of grainy sand and majority of the plate was lettuce. Was not worth the money and was definitely not the authentic Moroccan experience we were hoping for, expecting and promised. Really disappointing. Furthermore, when arriving we took a few minutes to look at the menu and deciding if we actually wanted to try the food. After 5 minutes, we left. The woman working made an unfriendly face as we walked out probably because she was expecting us to order. We did come back after looking around the area and she rolled her eyes at us. She did however give us a sample to try of a dish when we enquired...
Read moreCustomer service is not great, they served me my meal uncooked and not as advertised. I have come here 2 times, because I liked the food the first time. I just went today and purchased the Moroccan breakfast again for the second time. The cook was apparently not in today, But they did not tell me. I waited for 40 minutes for them to bring me the same breakfast uncooked and cold. I was unhappy, because it was not as advertised. And I ended up leaving because I wasn’t paying 8 pounds for a cold uncooked breakfast.
Also all of the menu and outside prices are out of date .They advertise the Moroccan breakfast with a coffee for £7.50, I ordered it and they said that they changed the price and now you have to order the coffee separately and it’s £10 now. Multiple customers complained about there inaccurate pricing. Changing the price is fine, but unfortunately they wait for you to finish eating first and then tell you the price changed when you go to pay at the end. They screamed at me when I was not happy about them being dishonest about the price. I encourage eating elsewhere to not deal with the stress and their...
Read moreWow! What a gem. The value for money at Shrigley's was amazing. I have visited London many times and eaten in many places for breakfast, varying vastly in style and expectation. However this quaint Moroccan takeaway/diner served me the best breakfast I have ever had in the capital. I spoke of expectation and from an independent low key takeaway, you'd expect something hearty, and enjoyable. This exceeded everything. I ordered the Moroccan breakfast. Eggs cooked two ways, fried with turkey bacon and poached, cram packed with delicious Salmon. Served on an English muffin and accompanied with traditional Moroccan salad. It was all amazing, but the salmon poached egg was divine, I could have eaten ten of them. To top it off, the lovely lady behind the counter served with a smile and dedication to her customers. I love it when you expect a simple no fuss breakfast you've had a million times, then you get smacked in the taste buds with the most delicious flavours. Can't wait to...
