I had some late lunch at Shah's Halal Food chain at the Balham pop-up branch.

92a Balham Road
London, Greater London, SW12 9AG

I ordered 1 regular chips with lamb on top and the green chilli sauce for £7.99

First of all I was charged £8.00. I understand it's only 1 penny, but if a business advertises £7.99 they need to charge £7.99 – If you want to charge £8.00, change the signage. It's a principle. He lied to me saying that there is other signage “over there”.

But the big issue was. the sales man asked me if I'd like some chicken with it, which I declined. But he kept offering saying, it's really nice lamb with chicken, which I found odd that he offered. I asked if he is out of lamb, he said "no" but that chicken with lamb is nicer. He was very annoying, kept asking if I'd like chicken with it.

I made the mistake to finally give in as I didn't have much time. Never had an issue like this anywhere, and will never make that mistake again.

When I sat down I saw RICE with chicken. I immediately suspected he snuck me a dish he already had made ready before I even ordered.

Without touching it, I returned it and said I ordered CHIPS with the lamb.

He made a new dish, asked if I want chicken as if to pretend to do the original annoying offer, but I declined.

I believe he had a SPARE rice chicken dish left, which someone might have ordered but has not picked up and he wanted to sneak it to me so he has no food waste to report at the end of the day.

I worked in hospitality all my life and know these types of games.

I will never return to any of their Shah's Halal Food businesses/branches nor any type of business like this where the barrier is so high, customers cannot see food handling, and god knows what else they do behind the barrier you can't see.

It's unacceptable to treat customers like we're idiots. I threw half the food in the toilet inside before giving the staff the empty package as there are no bins.

First and last time I use this or any type of Halal food place, especially when they're only run by men and with high blocked barriers unable to see food handling.

First and last time.
