YAFA GRILL HOUSE — Restaurant in Newport

Let's start with the food, the starter took some time to arrive but was delicious. Then the dinner took even longer and we ordered 3 things: chicken shawarma, chicken shish and lamb cusi. The shawrma was really nice but a bit too oily, the chicken shish was alright but a bit dry but last but definitely not least the lamb cusi was terrible the meat and rice tasted average untill we tried the sauce and out comes a long strand of hair embedded in the sauce. They gave us a compensation meal and some free water but no one could eat after being put off by the hair.

Next the service: the service is a bit slow but the server was really sorry for thr hair and was really kind and offered us more food and another lamb cusi so that was fine.

Atmosphere: the place big time needs a renovation its all old but not antic old it was mouldy old and they tried to make it look nice but it...

Paid my first visit to Lilo Grill House tonight to order a takeaway. Ordered 2 starters (Mixed Mezza + Mousil Kubba) and 1 main (Kofta Kebab) to the value of £30.

15 minutes later I collected my order and travelled home. Unfortunately, I had not checked the contents of my order and discovered that only one of the starters was present. This made me feel stupid for not checking things and also a sense of mistrust at Lilo for their unprofessionalism / or perhaps dishonesty. The restaurant had no sit down customers to attend to at the time I placed the order and overall seemed very quiet. I would encourage you to check what you are being provided with, before you accept it, especially if you are a new customer or live some...

I don't like being over critical with restaurants however the food at Lilo's left me wanting to write this review for people considering eating there.

Starters: Hummus/Fattoush and Cheese Pastry were drenched in oil. Main Course: Mixed Grill, Mixed Shawarma - Chips looked double fried, Lamb Skewer couldn't be chewed, lamb shawarma was covered in fat, chicken shawarma was tasteless unless dipped in their sauces and the rice came half cold and looked stale.

The fresh juice was the highlight... UNTIL I realised that it was bizarrely sweet so they must have put some honey/sugar into my juice. I wouldn't go back here and with a bill of to £40, the Subway down the road would have been a far greater choice for me...
