Would you complain about this takeaway?

I ordered a chicken shish that was due to come with Pitta bread, a Greek salad and teriyaki sauce.

Attached is what came- one piece of tomato! Would you complain? It was 10.00!

It looks either way. I'd stick it in the bin, never order again and be glad I swerved a food poisoning session personally.

ExplodingCarrots · 16/02/2022 19:30

Omg yes I would . That's diabolical.

JellybabyGina87 · 16/02/2022 19:31

Yes that's awful. I regularly get chicken kebabs and they look so much better than that for half the price of that.

SmolCat · 16/02/2022 19:32

One third of your order is missing: why wouldn’t you say something?

Also, that feels like quite an odd combo! Is it (usually) nice?

RedCandyApple · 16/02/2022 19:32

Wow that’s bad

YoBeaches · 16/02/2022 19:47

TEN POUNDS??!!

That is taking the piss!

DockOTheBay · 16/02/2022 19:49

Teriyaki sauce is an odd choice. Is that chicken in the middle?
It doesn't look very appetising and £10 for Kebab seems like an awful lot!

emuloc · 16/02/2022 19:51

That looks bad. Not worth £10, no way!

Cognoscenti · 16/02/2022 19:51

I don't know what they're meant to look like, but that doesn't look nice!

RedCandyApple · 16/02/2022 19:52

£10 isn’t a lot where I am in London, that’s on the lower end!

BOOTS52 · 16/02/2022 19:52

Looks tiny and like a starter. I would ring them up and ask them did they mix up the order or forget half of it as not a good takeaway at all.

OurWorldIsChanging · 16/02/2022 19:53

Only of you have no plan to return. I never complain about any food establishment that will be cooking for me in the future. Also see why I always give delivery drivers tips.

Penvelopey · 16/02/2022 19:53

That's only half

OurWorldIsChanging · 16/02/2022 19:54

ours have gone up to £7.95 and I think that is steep.

NoddingTulip · 16/02/2022 19:57

Yiu paid £10 for that! No idea what a chicken shish is ment to look like (or even what it is), but whatever is in that container looks revolting, and I wouldn't even feed it to my dogs.

LemonViolets · 16/02/2022 20:00

100% I would complain and ask for a refund. Since half the meal is missing.

Kimexela · 16/02/2022 20:04

That chicken looks anaemic also. Definitely complain.

FluffyBooBoo · 16/02/2022 20:08

A Turkish dish with a Greek salad and a Japanese sauce? I love a bit of fusion cuisine, but I'm not sure about that one...

It looks awful, and that hardly counts as salad. I don't know if I would complain, just because I have low expectations of takeaway kebabs, but I wouldn't blame you for doing so.

Ah we’re staying overnight in London so it’s not a restaurant we will return to but ultimately it’s a bit wtf! I’ll complain via Just Eat but it was one of the cheapest things on the menu!

Teriyaki sauce on a Greek Pita?

Husband is going through a “teriyaki” on everything stage and it was one of the options

mumsnet is so dramatic. It’s literally grilled chicken. Your dogs would think they’d died and gone to heaven if you fed them that.
