"Camel One is one of those places that has been a Wilmslow Rd staple for a long time. We have eaten many times here and usually you get a good quality curry. More recently, last couple of times even though the food has still been good the service has declined. In particular the attitude of the staff is extremely sexist. Last time I visited, there were 2 wait staff that were doing something and didn't acknowledge me, I was first in line when 2 men walked in. Both male waiters asked each of the men for their order whilst totally ignoring me even though I was there first. A third waiter realised what they had done and sheepishly asked for my order. On this visit, I went in with my husband and even though I was closest to the guy on the till and was about to order, they totally ignored me once again and asked my husband what he wanted to order. We decided to go for a chicken curry with roti and the samosas on display looked delicious so we decided to opt for a meat and a veg samosa too all to take home. When we got home the curry was absolutely delicious couldn't fault it at all and it was extremely tasty. The samosas however were not great. They didn't look anywhere as nice as the shop either. It was clear that they had picked out some that didn't look anywhere as near as appetising as the shop. The summary is that the food is good but they need to get better at seeing their female customers and not just the men. For how they made me feel as a customer I can only give them 2 stars. Had it been based on the food (curry only) it would have been a 4."

"As a previous student of the local University, I have had the pleasure of calling Mega Kebab my third home. However, in this, my second review, I feel the need to impart some home truths. First though, some positives. As I stumbled past the inviting...front façade at 1am one Saturday morning, I entered a short queue. One commendable feature remaining, after the Godfather, Ali's, migration to the exotic reaches of Polsloe, is the service time. I can report times of under 20 seconds, from the moment I slur medium cheesy chips please bossman to walking back out that front façade, smug about the yellow container of goodness I have in my clasp. Or so I think. As the title of this review suggests, a number of staple kebab shop contenders have gone downhill quickly. Chips cold. Cheese covering pitiful. Garlic mayo lathering more conservative than my Grandma's Texan ex-boyfriend. Mega donner meat of old was outstanding. Shards of spicy, chewy, undefinable meat, beefed-up (or horsed-up, who knows) any meal. Now, this staple has been reduced down to what can only be described as fatty bacon bits for rabits. As a health-discerning kebab shop customer, the 70%-30% fat-to-meat ratio was disappointing. Whilst the old Mega staff used to call both me and my mate Tony, despite neither of us holding such an identity, at least there was some sense of a personal touch. With the moving on of staff, has also come the moving on of the friendly, I'll watch your mate throw your chips against the wall and still welcome you back next time type vibe. With this too has gone the level of cuisine I came to live on during my higher education years. Perhaps timely, then, that with the search for a grad job comes the search for a new favourite kebab shop. p.s. anyone got any grad jobs flying around get in touch"
