Sinbad’s

Last night I decided I was a little peckish, so thought I’d treat try out a takeaway I’ve not tried before. After browsing Just Eat for a while I decided on Sinbad’s, which had a high average rating, and a surprisingly large number of ratings compared to other places, but I went for it anyway!
I opted for a pizza as I’ve fallen out a little with my previous regular places due to a downturn in quality. Delivery came on time, and although the delivery boy wasn’t all smiles or anything, he had the change from a tenner ready and waiting in his pocket, which I was quite impressed with. The pizza itself was pretty good — I went for a deep pan chicken tandori. The toppings were plentiful and tasty, and the crust wasn’t too big (this gets right on my nerves!).
Overall, a good first experience. I’m not sure if eating it whilst watching Jean-​Claude Van Damme cry made it better or worse though! But I’ll definitely have another go at something else on the menu in the future.

Meanwood is an area that is rather densely populated in terms of takeaway joints. This charmingly named place is not one of the finest of such businesses.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good late at night when you’re drunk or hungry or both, and it’s actually quite cheap. The menu is extensive, and they whip the food up in pretty quick time.
But to me it seems that all the pizzas are basically the same (there’s like 50 on the menu or something) and none of them are particularly special — I’d probably choose the calzone over anything else.
But what really riles me is that they charge 10p for a can of Rubicon compared to a normal, boring drink. I am a firm believer than Rubicon is one of the joys of the world and should be available at standard prices so that everyone tries it at least once. Mmm… mango.
