I had a delivery this evening and because the last 2 kebabs from 2 other shops were rubbish I ordered extra salad and other bits to fill up on if the kebab is disappointing. It was amazing! The best chicken shish kebab I've had in a long time! Will definitely order again. Really happy, lots of salad and sauce and it was served in the pitta bread! Delicious! Thank you Alis Alcove keep it up!

Ordered this evening, really cheap compared to other takeaways and better tasting, value for money and portion size is incredible. Fast delivery and unlike most delivery drives they came straight to our flat door at the top to deliver that made it easier due to having a baby. Highly recommended and looking forward ordering again
