The food was amazing especially the bread and the portion size wasn't bad either and the best thing is mana mia is halal....
It was an Awesome Pizza. Ordered a 12in Deep Pan Margherita with extra Onion, Pineapple and Tuna. Couldn't fault it. Only thing that most people didn't know is it's CASH ONLY for walk-ins.
Ignore the one star reviews from louts who couldn’t be bothered to bring some of their cash to the Lake District. The pizzas here are just really good and that’s all you need to know. The hot vegetarian pizza is especially tasty with generous toppings.
We got the special mix. It was bursting with flavor. Absolutely top quality! Even the side grilled vegetables were so good. Bread as well. Great value for money. Friendly staff. And the food is Halal.
We had hot vegetarian pizza and chips. It was perfect after a long hike. Absolutely delicious and the homemade chilli sauce was so good. Definitely recommend this place
Was away on holiday and didn’t know the area well enough to get parked so decided on a takeaway , can’t fault the service. Food was delicious. And went out their way to refund me some of the delivery because we were over charged. A Star!! Will return next time we come to white cross bay
Pizza was absolutely delicious! Portion was pretty big! I recommend the donner pizza! You can either order online and collect there or have CASH with you!
Really fantastic Chicken & Lamb Shish kebabs here! - visited a few times in recent weeks and each visit has been a 5* experience. Chicken kebab (usual order) was always juicy, with well seasoned flavour and the chilli sauce is spicy without being too hot. Today’s combination kebab of Chicken with Lamb Shish was incredibly good. Lamb was tender and nicely charred, salad was fresh and crunchy and the chilli/garlic sauces were the perfect combination with a soft pitta bread. The staff are always welcoming and helpful, even when they are busy - we sat in on a rainy day and our food was brought over to us - just great service for a takeaway! Kebabs are 14-16 for large size, but they are excellent quality and generous portions, so worth it. Highly recommend the kebabs here, yet to venture to try other menu options! Cash only in the shop, but you can order online and pay by card - there is a Tesco with ATM next door (ish) Mint sauce is also for sale in Tesco - good to know if you like mint with lamb as I do, because they don’t offer mint in the kebab shop - still 5* kebabs
