TRVMP Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Cathay Royale, that's it. They do a couple of Thai dishes as well. I love that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 And Wemyss Bay does count as Inverclyde. It's just before the border to North Ayrshire, which is at Skelmorlie. It's been years since I had a chippy in Inverclyde so I can't rate those but early last year I had a kebab at Oasis, my former weekend favorite - what a disappointment. Their luscious chili sauce was replaced with some minging, ketchup-y rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaunTon Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Don't know if it's the same in Greenock but I find it very difficult to find a takeaway that stays consistently good year in year out. The number that dish up average to absolute minging food is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number that dish up average to absolute minging food is incredible. I feel the same way, hence my disappointment with Oasis, which previously was actually good. But with takeaways people go for convenience over quality, which is understandable. The idea of driving or walking an extra fifteen minutes for a kebab of better quality, most people would consider weird in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitanus Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I certainly wouldn't consider it weird. I love a good kebab, I also love a Lahmacun which are very few and far between in Scotland. I was spoilt for years as I lived not far from the Istanbul Grill House at Paisley Road Toll, which served the best kebabs ive ever tried outside Germany with homemade sauces and fresh baked Turkish breads, fresh meats on a charcoal grill etc. https://food.list.co.uk/place/103759-istanbul/ *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cow Shed Dweller Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Oasis is not as good as it used to be. The China Garden on Cathcart Street is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Don't know if it comes under Inverclyde but Macari's in Wemyss Bay is the best chippy I've came across down that way. Also, I think that if some enterprising individual was to open a decent chippy around the Cathcart Street area they'd make an absolute fortune. Agreed. There's hee haw in that area unless you're wanting to sit in somewhere. Blue Lagoon (if it still exists) and Kilted Kebabs are the closest and they're away on the other side of the mall.

They have loads of shops, everyone of them fucking revolting. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONofmemories Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's Toninos - why are we even debating this. Because Gianni's is better. By an absolutely country mile. Tonino's is just another bongios, given that's where he learned from TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBu Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 For a chippy I used to go to Gianni's all the time but recently it's been swimming in oil, would only go there for a pizza these days. I prefer Luigi's for proper chippy food but still wouldn't say it's great. Definitely Priyas Palace for an Indian and I just don't like Chinese food at all so no help there. Cafe Balfe does takeaways but pretty pricey. Arlecchino is ok for what it does, good if a load of folk want different things. May try Tonino's this weekend for a change. On a related topic, where's the best place for a hot roll (bacon, slice etc) on a Saturday morning? I've been going to the West Station Cafe recently but must be better out there.

Used to love a bacon roll from TJ's across from the college. Getting a Tonino's at the weekend to see what the fuss is about, cmdc. If it's shite I'm getting a taxi to your house to smear it aw 'er yer carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Sheba Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Tonino's is lovely and they do a gluten free base. It's not the big deep loaded style of pizza, it's more traditional style Isn't it a lovely day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBu Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Orangefield Cafe is decent. Had one a few weeks ago and it was alright, only downside was it took 20 minutes to cook a slice roll. Could have walked to spar, bought everything, walked home and cooked it myself in that time. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 White Hats takeaway is pretty good. That's up there. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunning1874 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Chinese - Cathay RoyaleIndian - Taj Mahal Kebab - Kilted Kebabs Pizza - Gate of India Chippy - Gianni's (Greenock) Fry-up - John's Joint Feel free to disagree with these choices, but other than the Taj Mahal/Priyas Palace debate which could go either way your disagreement will make you very, very wrong. Jax Snax is absolutely outstanding by the way, but it doesn't fit into any conventional category.
