"Me and my partner when we moved here to hamilton this was the first takeaway shop (advised by his mother) that we went to and got our takeaways every now and again. They are a very polite family, always smiling and have good portion prices to what you pay for."

"Happy Takeaways is a real surprise. It's not in the best area, and it looks rundown...but the quality of the fish and chips that they sell is first rate. The price was also a surprise and in this case is not an indication of the quality of the product. Wait times are good and are usually under 10 minutes even when they are busy."

"By far the best chips I've had in Hamilton, personally I do not eat fish and it's hard to find a fish and chip shop that has chips that don't have that fishy flavour, great cheap combo deals available as well as Chinese food, the doughnuts are a bit small but that's the only thing I could honestly could complain about. Most of the time it's extremely fast service at peak times it can be up to a 20 minute wait so over all very fast friendly service."
