All the brothers who work there are amazing – well-behaved, hardworking, and always smiling. The food is top quality, and the service makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“Smacks is hands-down one of the best burger spots I’ve visited in a long time. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the amazing smell of freshly grilled patties, and the atmosphere is warm, casual, and inviting. I tried their signature burger, and it was perfect—juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right with fresh toppings. The bun was soft but held everything together, and the sauce added that extra kick without overpowering the meat. Their fries were crispy, golden, and clearly made with care, not just tossed in as an afterthought.”

“Food is great. We had 2 burgers, fries and bom-bom chicken. Have to admit, it was absolutely amazing. (And I am not a burger fan) buns, meat, sauces were of high quality. Definitely the best burger take out we’ve had in this area ever.”

“This Caribbean shop has become my go-to, especially in the winter. I usually order from them on Uber and the food just tastes so homey and comforting. I honestly buy their soup every couple of days because it’s that good and it’s the kind of meal that warms you right up. I’ve never had an issue with the quantity either. They’re always generous with the dumplings, potatoes, carrots, sweetcorn, and chicken. The flavours are amazing every single time. I’ve nearly tried nearly all of the food items by now”

“Just had a cup of tea, very authentic Turkish tea. They made it fresh, which was nice; we had time to wait 20-30mins for it to brew. It came in a tall glass so was a nice big cup of tea.”
