Reviews Summary
Sami's Merthyr Kebab House offers a mix of highly praised authentic Afghan dishes and experiences, alongside significant concerns regarding delivery service and hidden charges.

"Food was fresh; Mustafa made me a special dish as I am a fussy vegetarian and I must say it was absolutely 👏 amazing. Onion rings were awesome. Home made coleslaw was out of this world. My friend had a cheeseburger which she was also really impressed. Service was friendly and we had a nice chat with Mustafa.
Price was reasonable.
Shukran Mustafa see you again; katrina &Tracy"

"Placed an order, whilst placing the order I asked the restaurant to confirm the order back. They read the order back correctly and we proceeded to wait for our food. After a rather lengthy wait of 1 hour and 15 minutes, we were shocked to find the food was cold! It was absolutely saturated in grease and despite a price agreed on the phone the delivery driver tried charging an extra £7 on the order! Items that we had ordered were missing and it was not as we had placed. We certainly shall not be ordering from this establishment again."

"Must be new owners. Never had an issue before.
Gave the guy on the phone the order and asked him to read it back to me. What he read out was correct and what I asked for.
Order was for £27
1 hour 20 mins later
Food come all wrong.
Also turned up at Wrong address when I give the correct one on the phone.
Rang the guy about the issue. Terrible customer service skills. kept calling me a liar and that the food I had in-front of me is what I ordered
Was totally wrong.
Guys a total idiot.
£27 in the bin.
Will never use again."
