"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"

"My wife and I had a Quick lunch at Ned's Noodles, we both had sweet and sour chicken Noodles,which was really nice.The only complaint I have is that when we went to sit down after placing our order. When a foreign lady who I think...was Eastern European began to shout at us telling us that we could not sit where we was as she and her children who all appeared to be of secondary school age were sitting there. I said no one was sitting here when we sat down,She started yelling at us and my wife asked me not to argue with her over a seat. We then moved away I watched and noticed the group of people had not purchased any food from Ned's Noodles at all. But of the group had Taco Bel which was next door and had Mc Donalds and the had subway. she then left the young girl's at Ned's Noodles with about full bags of shopping while she went off shopping again and came back about minutes later eating a subway meal and had another two filled shopping bags with her. She sat down with the young girls and once again had a go at another ladies who tried to sit near them. I then said to the woman you have dumped these young girls here with all your shopping and you have not purchased one item of food from Ned's Noodle's then you saunter up as if you own the place with more shopping and a subway meal, then have the cheek to shout at these two ladie's because they sat near you and your shopping this is Ned's Noodles and the seating is for the people who are paying and eating their food purchased here.You have no right to be rude and abusive to people when you have not spent a penny at this place,you are just taking liberties, she started to scream at me in another language I told her to shut up and go away.But none of the staff appeared to bothered as to what this woman was doing, I think a sign should be put up that only patrons who have purchased Ned's food may use the seating area available. Unfortunately I would think twice before going to Ned's again."
