A POPULAR Scottish takeaway has hilariously hit back after a Scot said their kebab looks a “complete mess”.
The award-winning kebab shop Shawarma King posted a video to Instagram two days ago, showing how they prepare a dish called the “large shawarma loaded fries”.
The video shows a member of the team loading chips with cheese followed by a mix of chicken and lamb shawarma and lashings of garlic and chilli sauce.
“Something naughty to get the bank holiday weekend going,” the video was captioned But one Scot wasn’t impressed, commenting underneath: “Sorry to say but that’s just a f***in complete mess”.
The takeaway hit back brilliantly, however.
“Sorry to say Danny but we are a kebab shop not a Michelin star establishment led by Heston Blumenthal,” they commented.
“Presentation may not be our forte especially during peak business, however we can guarantee you will enjoy the food and come back for more.”
They added: “Next time you’re hungry give us a message and we will be happy to sort you out with a portion of shawarma loaded fries on the house.”
The response drew a number of comments from amused Scots.
“Well said! That looks like a f***ing masterpiece, I want it every day till I die,” said one social media user.
Another added: “Best response to a review ever.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
