"for the benefit of u all read this review before ordering, in fact just don’t even think about ordering"
"The food took two hours from ordering (so and hr late"
"DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! We ordered through Deliveroo and waited for hours for our food to be delivered"
"SCAMMERS AND FAKE"
"Absolutely appalling service"
for the benefit of u all read this review before ordering, in fact just don’t even think about ordering. first of all the food came nearly 2 hours late even after the restaurant it self had shut. it was supposed to arrive at 1:15 and when i rang to ask where my food is i got told wait 5 10 minutes. after 5 10 minutes i tried to ring them back only to find out my number was blocked and i was unable to even get through to them. i rang customer services only to be told to wait 5 10 mins. i also got told that she would ring the restaurant even though it was closed. makes no sense what so ever. the driver then rang 2 hours later as if he was early saying he was outside. when he came he forgot a drink and said no u only ordered two but then when he looked at the receipt he realised i did in fact order three drinks. his reply was oh. he then said he had extra drinks in the car. sorry i didn’t realise the restaurant was in your car as well as the fridge u store the drinks which makes sense as i couldn’t even find the restaurant on google maps. as well as that the food was absolutely shocking and had random hard bits in my burger patty, wings and popcorn chicken. honestly it was food poisoning on a plate. i struggled to even swallow my burger. honestly a complete joke and the biggest scam.
The food took two hours from ordering (so and hr late. The restaurant doesn’t answer the phone atal. The delivery guy was wondering up my road for 10 mins, I even shouted to him and he was completely clueless. So the ‘food’ (and I use that term loosely)…… no ice cream with my cornflake cake (cake was stale tasting and very dry)….. no peri salt on chips, although that would have made no difference as the chips were stone freezing cold and rock hard. Doner meat old dry and chicken undercooked with pink bits. So works out we paid £20 for a squished burger with brown lettuce and a bottle of coke. The restaurant refused any partial refund. …… the food is that bad and the restaurant has no regards for its customers, like literally couldn’t care less about providing a decent standard of service, this place has got to be a front for illegal activity of some sort because I cannot see how they have any customers. I wished I’d have read the reviews before ordering. The very last thing anyone needs after an 11hr shift is this stressful disappointing infuriating rip off mockery!!!!! I just wanted to eat and go bed.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! We ordered through Deliveroo and waited for hours for our food to be delivered. We called to see where it was every half an hour and we were aggressively shouted at down the phone each time ‘it’s on its way’. We never received our order. When we tried to get a refund through deliveroo they lied to deliveroo and said they delivered, then they said that they tried to call us but no one answered so they couldn’t deliver, they never tried to call us. How they are still in business is absolutely beyond me especially reading all the other reviews too. I wouldn’t even give 1 star if it was an option. They may as well do themselves a favour and shut down and give their space to someone who can actually do their job and deliver food to people that they have paid for. Absolutely awful.
SCAMMERS AND FAKE. NEVER ORDER FROM THEM. All REVIEWS are true. I wish i could have read them before placing an order. ABSOLUTELY JOKE. I am wondering how can MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL allow this place to open and trade. TIME WASTERS. They never answer calls. FOOD NEVER ARRIVED. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I not only want my REFUND but also send them a Solicitor letter to compensate for my time, sleep and health. I will also write to Just eat,Uber eat, Deliveroo and other to cancel their contract as they are just SCAMMERS. How can these platforms help scammers and how can they help them ripping off customers. I wish i could give them minus stars. There should b an option on google. Its not fare to give them even 1 star. AVOID GUYS.
Absolutely appalling service. We placed an order and waited nearly 2 hours for it to be arrive and we never received it. We rung the restaurant 3 times to see where the food was and how long until we could expect it which they continued to say “20 minutes”. In the end they stopped taking our calls at the restaurant and we did not receive this food. On top of this, the man was very rude when we tried to track down our order and was not cooperative in the slightest. We were unable to get a refund as the deliveroo app displayed it as delivered which clearly wasn’t the case. Very very disappointed with this restaurant.
Ordered off of Deliveroo and got given an estimated arrival time of 1:10. Waited for the delivery until quarter to 2 and tried contacting them and they just hung up on me without picking up. Then at 2:50 the Deliveroo timeline updated saying that the order had been delivered, so i tried contacting them again only to get hung up on. After contacting Deliveroo staff, I later received an email saying that they had arrived at the address and couldn't contact me, so I couldn't even get a refund, despite the fact that I literally waited outside my building (because its a block of flats) for an hour and no-one arriving.
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE My son ordered from here last night and hadn't checked the reviews. He only ordered 3 items - pizza, chicken and chips. The chips were missing (although probably wouldn't have been eaten judging by the rest of the food). It was stone cold and pretty much inedible. After one bite of the pizza and chicken he didn't want to eat it, and after trying it myself, I think it was a safe decision. Tried contacting the 'restaurant' last night and today it no answer so intend to pay them a visit later for a full refund.
DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!! Ordered from here last night (only milkshakes) after waiting patiently for nearly 2 hours we was becoming quite frustrated. I tried phoning to which the phone was Rudely put down on me numerous times and assured delivery was on the way!! I went down to check nearly 3 hours later and still nothing. I’ve woke up this morning and the milkshakes are on my door step!! What an absolute joke!! Such an unprofessional business and the guy on the phone was rude and clearly ain’t got a clue.
Me and my friend ordered from here and they took 2 hours and 20 minutes to delivery a basic order . They lied on the phone when my friend rang to ask where the order was 4 times . The delivery driver was sarcastic, rude and did not apologise for the very late dessert . The whole thing was a nightmare. DO NOT ORDER FROM HARLEM SHAKES . Your dessert will be very late, the delivery driver will be rude and they will try and RIP you off ! Avoid at all costs .
One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. First of all, the food is one of the best food I have ever tasted my whole life, better than my mom’s cooking. The interior design is contemporary and stylish, and goes perfectly with the fine cuisine. The service is top notch, no other restaurants come close to it. I have never been so amazed at a restaurant my whole life. I recommend anyone who wants to have an out of body experience to eat here!
Boycot this place. We ordered simply one milkshake and one cookie dough at 11pm. It is now half 12 and still haven't received anything not even Contact. No updates provided as to if its en route. Asked for an update via text prompted through just eat and didn't receive one. And called their number 4 times to literally no answer, only constant ringing. Probably avoid all their customers now since after reading reviews everyone has the same problem.
Ordered from here food wasn’t turning up for over 5 hours no answer then they marked it as delivered at 4am? Rang up next day just got fed a load of bull such as will have to wait for boss to come or the driver absolute joke of a place. Fortunately got my money back as it was through deliveroo( they use their own drivers).

Called them to figure out what was taking so long and the guy over the phone started to make jokes about the delivery drivers 1.2 litre yaris. Jokers. Highley reccomend you go anywhere else. The food was soggy and wet

Paid £10 for a takeaway that never came! Called them multiple times and they said they’ll be 5-10 mins, they were never to be seen. Lucky for me, my mother is a lawyer and loves taking down companies like this, so if you enjoyed their food I apologise but they will be no longerscam

Food arrived 45 minutes late, forgot our cheesy chips and beans. Was freezing cold and tasted standard really. Had to re heat everything. Paid £5 odd for a waffle and it was half the size of a normal one, that was also cold. Only good thing was the ice cream really. Shame that the guy who delivered it was lovely, get a different job mate
Ordered an hour ago, no food or update. Called them and it went to voicemail. Had to contact UberEats to have the order cancelled. No nowhere else is open, awful takeaway and ill make sure not to order here again - And tell others who order to their uni accom. Do not order from here.

Would give 0 stars if possible I would suggest never ordering from here we placed an order at 12:50am and didn’t arrive till nearly 3am . I called them multiple times and it’s either they didn’t answer or put me on hold then ended the call and the food was cold and not that nice will not be ordering from here again More
Sat here at 2:16 am waiting for a burger I ordered nearly 2 hours ago. Blocked my friends number, not answering the phone, cranky as hell… should have read the reviews before we ordered and before we screamed at Deliveroo customer services for half an hour. Want to cry. Just don’t bother no matter how hungry you are!!
DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Horrendous service. Over an hour late, freezing cold soggy food. We tried calling them up to chase the order and they shouted at my friend on the phone!! Then once the order arrived half of the items weren’t there!!!! Absolutely ridiculous and I have no idea how this business is operating.
Avoid this restaurant, ordered on Deliveroo never got my order and plus they’ve got guts to tell Deliveroo to say that they delivered it. Do not order from here. And I wouldn’t expect much since seen their ratings. Never been able to get my refund so you’ll basically get scammed. This place needs to be shut down.
The worst place ever. Your order never comes. Its a fake restaurant and they lie to say your food will come and it doesnt. Avoid at all costs. They wont answer your calls. Never order here unless you want to waste your money. This 'business' should get shut down as they are dishonest! Avoid, avoid, AVOID!!
I've ordered 3x and they have all been bad experiences. This latest one is the last. 2hr delivery time, the cookie dough was rock hard and was missing the 2 ice cream tubs. The milkshake was the wrong flavour. Everything was wrong. No apology or anything. Just avoid this place when ordering online.
I should’ve checked the reviews before ordering. But I was too hungry so couldn’t bother. Food ordered at 9 and received at 10:20. Store didn’t bother to contact me regarding delays and when I contacted they keep saying 5-10mins. Food was luke warm but ate it coz too hungry. Never ordering again.
0 stars for me they cancelled my order about 2 minutes after I ordered through Uber eats and it said they started making my food so I was charged there is no help option on uber to help me with they problem

It'd be quicker to travel to Harlem on a delayed flight to get your food. Ordered via deliveroo... they rang at 6:20am after a few hours waiting. I'd just love to have donner and cheeseburger at 6:30 in the morning *smh*. Never answered the phone and I'll never get my refund. AVOID!
AVOID!! After two hours of waiting for food, i still couldn't stomach their soggy oven chips and dry chicken burger. Their "cheesy chips with gravy" are an insult to Manchester. After 20+ phone calls to chase up my order I didn't get through once. I will be expecting a full refund.
These other reviews are the real scam. I live a few streets over from this place, food always shows up. I got garlic bread with cheese and it's what you would expect. Lol I think there's a smear campaign going on

I found the food in the morning left outside my door from the previous night. It was delivered to me 1hr after the estimated time of delivery. No one was answering the phone the whole time and they refuse to give a refund. Do not order from this place.
I am highly disappointed in this food and the place of work. The fiod was absolutely disgusting I have never gagged so much at the smell of food it smelt like a homeless person. I now have severe stomach cramps from this. There was also not
After placing an order at 1.20am I was still waiting for my food to be delivered at 3.36am at which point I gave up waiting and went to bed. I had a missed call from the deliver driver at 4am when I woke up that morning half my order had
So disappointed with the food everything was so so cold you should be ashamed to serve that food was not enabled nasty

I would never recommend ordering from this place. I have to give you gives credit for the milkshakes- those were actually very tasty! But the delivery was 30 min late, the chips was cold and stale and evidently
let me place an order whilst not open and haven’t given any refund despite calling and emailing. Not the first time unfortunately. Wouldn’t order from here again, much better food places in Manchester. More
Absolute waste of time, ordered at 4am, called at 5am and was told they were trying to find driver then they turned the phones off. useless.
