"After several recommendations I finally decided to give this place a try because I was in the area. Ordered a classic parmo and I wasn't disappointed! Very fresh and juicy , not like some places that serve up a dried up old bit of chicken. Every ingredient was banging. Even the chips were great and I don't normally eat chips. The staff are all super lovely too. It's nice to be able to have a chat when waiting for your freshly cooked food . Definitely the best parmo in town and I'll be returning to try the pizza , I highly recommend it."

"Great to see the original Express takeaway back open in Scarborough, same great food and service, just in a new location. Had a delicious full Donner Parmo, I nothing left but a small amount of nice, fresh salad...very FULL now! All the staff were friendly, working hard as it was very busy on a Wednesday night, probably because of how good their food and reputation is. Keep up the great work!"

"One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. Chicken and mushroom. Only £10 with a free drink. Has a lovely chat withe the owners asking for advice to use. My summer pizza oven. Don't hesitate to visit and forget the awful commercial alternatives. It's a shame I live in France or would use 2 a week."

"1st time trying 1st express but it certainly won't be the last, staff were very friendly and food was 5 star. I had doner kebab the best I ever had. The salad was beautifully fresh. Grandson had burger and ate every bit including salad which is a bonus."

"Visited 1st Express 1990 as staying local and wanted a good rated kebab shop and found this place via a quick google search. Have to say the premises were very clean which is always great to see. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food/portion sizes were great. Just one thing I'd suggest would be to ramp up the chilli sauce, much too mild for us but still tasty."
