"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."

"I think the staff here don’t get enough credit for the amazing job they do. You won’t find staff like this in any other Starbucks. Nick in particular is so patient and so kind and so knowledgeable. He thinks nothing of helping anybody and is always so professional. On one single day I saw him tending to a disabled customer repeatedly, including helping the customer sit down safely (the customer has visual difficulties), helping explain which sandwiches were available (remembering the customers favourites) and generally tending to them whilst also serving others. On that same shift a customer came in half an hour after closing asking for a ‘green drink that looks like pondwater’. The customer questioned the closing time and hovered around with no regard for the fact he had said the place was closed but he had offered to make anything he could with the equipment still turned on. Fifteen minutes later as we left he was still helping this customer figure out what she wanted, well beyond closing time when he really didn’t have to. He endlessly goes above and beyond and he’s never remotely unattentive. It’s worth mentioning Rob as well who is always cheerful, chatty and working hard. It’s just a lovely Starbucks and somehow the drinks always taste better than elsewhere too. Maybe it’s the kindness of the staff I don’t know but, it’s quite the hidden treasure in chillwell."
