Made me wait 30 minutes for a small takeaway order on an uncrowded Wed night at 8pm. Shudder to think what peak periods will be like. Didn't warn me the wait would be that long. Did warn a couple after me though!

Terribly slow in spite of the shop having no business at all and the lady is quite unpleasant as well. Last time ordering from them.
