United Kingdom, Plymouth

Greek • Cheese • Chicken • Burgers


"I think I've been spoiled by some of the piri piri places I've visited, so Sabeez seemed average by comparison. Not to say it was bad. You get a decent enough takeaway here; and back in my nearby hotel room I ate most of it....My order was for a double decker combo burger, cheesy chips, and salad. Of those, the Greek salad was the best part, featuring cherry tomatoes and little bits of feta cheese. The combo burger contains a beef patty and a chicken patty made of reconstituted chicken rather than the chicken breast they serve in the best places. I enjoyed the beef part more. By the time I got back to my room, the cheesy chips had formed a solid slab, glued together by a flavourless cheese. But I'm an old hand at greasy Saturday-night takeaway fare, so I hacked away at them philosophically. The premises once had some imagination put into them, with bright sixties colouring and a mural of Plymouth life and history. But it all needed renovating long ago, and now everything looked worn or damaged, giving a grubby impression. The COVID precautions were a bit half hearted. Two guys wore no mask; one had a mask round his neck; and a female chef wore one just covering her mouth not nose. A screen to separate walk-up trade from the delivery collectors was standing on top of a distancing marker. Unlike other piri piri places, there was no sauce-bottle counter out front. That might've been for COVID-hygiene reasons. But it meant sauce was added by the server, and he splattered too much on for my liking. Overall, I found this place a bit disappointing but not terrible."
