The crispy golden french fries stuck under the heavyweight of Mediterranian flavoured chicken mince and creamy cheesy sauce. Now that's the culinary catastrophe I'd like to be a part of. Also known as Devil's Fries, this starter dish is already a hit amongst all the french fries lovers but for the ones who still haven't got the chance to try this, add this place to your list right away.
