5 stars, for a chippy. YES cos im grading against the competition which, lets face it, is cr@p. Helen street chippy is a small, family run chippy of the old english style, on the junction of 2 rows of terraced houses. Staff (the family) are friendly n helpful, offering my partner extra paper to use as a place mat when they realised we were going to eat our fish n chips in the car. She's on a diet n the guy cooked her a smaller, lightly battered, fish specially for her. Both fish and chips are cooked on demand, thus truly fresh. The chips are a solid 8 out of 10, maybe even a 9. The fish was incredibly tender, up there with the best (which for those who don't know is served at Tony's Stadium Chippy, opposite the etihad stadium.) There's none of the grease that accompanies so many meals from take-away food places, or the anti social idiots that tend to gather in such places. Parking is hit n miss, but due to being a residential area you should be able to find a place to park up n eat your food in car. Given the lack of real "english" chip shops .. by which i refer to the menu n the care to quality and service n nothing else, Im lucky that the Helen street chippy is close enough to where i live that its not a chore to get to, unlike the etihad. But, would i travel there for my chips if i lived beside the Etihad?,, YES!

Used to be the friendliest chippy about and we'd recommend it to anyone in the area. Food was great but we gave them our custom because you couldn't meet a friendlier bunch of people. Tonight though, rude and dismissive. Did a little research and found it was taken over a year ago ... makes it a lot easier to walk away and never go back again. Shame though, loved this little gem back in the day.

Excellent service, didn't have to wait too long . I had 2 fish and chips. Beautifully cooked. Friendly staff. Wish I lived closer to the shop, would be in there every day.

Disappointed in the food and pricing. The fish was 40% batter which was rubbish, I was billed for large curry and on arrival home found the portion to less than the small option. Why cheat customers on small things when they've paid the requested money, all its done is make me go elsewhere. Disappointing business practices.
