Onesti’s

Nice takeaway and quite reputably know in Motherwell for just this. All the school kids walk up on the weekdays from Dalzell High School and get the usually sausage or fritter foll. I know about the fritter roll and I say yes please, with brown sauce and a nice crispy morning roll, not a bun. Never a bun.
I wouldn’t go here to many days a week or you may see your waist grow and grow. Onestis are a good quality Italian run chip shop that the town like.

If I could allow myself to be more impartial, and on a blind taste test, this place would earn itself 5 stars. However…
I was sick once in here from a greasy fish and chips (a one off, to be fair) which wasn’t dealt with very well by the management which ended my weekly visit to the place, a weekly visit which lasted some years.
In recent years, the prices have also escalated way beyond that of other chip shops. It’s around £5.30 for a fish supper, and although it is absolutely immense, the portions don’t justify the price.
Hilarious to note, that when you get chips to take away (which cost around £1.40 or £1.50 or something ridiculous) they actually spray on the vinegar which can only be designed to save pennies on vinegar every day.
I don’t know. I like the place, it’s great, with good ice cream as well I should note, but I can’t help but feel that the management are greedy.
There used to be 3 or 4 Onesti’s in Motherwell, now there are only 2, with this one being the most popular due largely to its location.
Thoroughly great food, no arguments, but. *sigh*
I’ve said enough.
They also do home deliveries which get to you in above average condition.
