1 /5 Saif Hussain: This order from Lakers was a complete joke, the sort of mess that almost makes you wonder if someone packed it with their eyes closed. I ordered a meal that already comes with chips, and even paid for an extra portion on top of that. Yet when the bag landed in my hands, there was just one lonely portion staring back at me. Whether the meal chips vanished or the extra ones ran off on an adventure of their own, I couldn’t say — but the math is simple: I paid for two, and Lakers served up one.
The chicken wings were an even bigger insult. They were the size of my small finger — tiny, dry, miserable scraps that looked like they came off a bird that had been on a strict diet. Calling them wings feels like false advertising; calling them food feels generous. They looked tossed into the box as if the cook hoped I wouldn’t notice. I’ve had nuggets bigger than them.
And the burger? A tragedy in bun form. Overcooked until it was rock-hard, crispy in places no burger should ever be crispy, with a bitter burnt taste that clung to my mouth longer than the meal itself. It felt like someone abandoned it on the grill, rediscovered it a lifetime later, shrugged, and sent it out anyway.
Paying just under £20 for this level of nonsense is a straight-up insult. The whole thing was lazy, careless, and about as far from value as you can get. This wasn’t just a bad meal — it was a complete waste of time, money, and patience.
I’ve already reported the order to Uber, because this level of incompetence doesn’t get a free pass.
Never ordering from this place again. An embarrassment of a restaurant.
