GIVEN the number of fast food establishments in Blackburn’s Darwen Street, it seems perhaps understandable that a regular diner of donners could actually stumble across one that has not been tried before.

Pyramids has been on the neon mecca of kebab street since 1989 and advertises itself as selling ‘delicious food’ on its menu.

I suppose you would never cross the threshold if the strapline was for ‘adequate food’, or ‘lukewarm food’, so I wasn’t exactly taken in by the promise.

And my suspicion went into overdrive when the chap behind the counter himself seemed suspicious of my motives when I went into the shop at 10pm on a Sunday.

All I wanted was a kebab, but it seemed I was doing a passable impression of the invisible man while he chatted away into his mobile phone.

That is a particular annoyance of mine, but eventually I was noticed and opted for a Special Kebab, a mix of donner, chicken and shish cooked on a char grill, and served in a ‘delicious’ naan.

Big claim, albeit not exactly accurate, especially when what seemed like a pound of salad that had seen better days was dumped onto the kebab.

I will give Pyramids their fair due, the naan was indeed delicious.

But while that was superb, the filling was little more than passable.

Maybe delicious is stretching the bounds of credibility, my kebab was little more than okay. The services wasn’t even that good.
