Take away confirmed the order had never been received after 50 mins of waiting. Apparently the same happened to another lady who used Just Eat this evening. Deleted the app & will never use again. If you have to ring the takeaway to check if the order has been received you may as well order by phone! Terrible.
I used to like just eat until I have had a problem with my order. Customer service is terrible and I never wish bad on people or company's but really hope just eat gets shut down.
Well I ordered a very nice kebab and forgot to write that the driver should phone me so I went to the live chat and spoke to martin which was very helpful and he contacted the take way on my behalf, deffinetly will use there services again.
Signed up a few weeks ago to try out! Done my first order and takeaway rang to comfirm as it was my first order (great first time!) Ordered again to same takeaway and was given a order number and estimated time of delivery. 1.30hr mins later, still no food......rang up and they didnt even recieve an order!!!! Disapointed!
i am very happy i found trustpilot. please don't order from just eat because when you complain to them they never reply to your emails or phone calls
I received an email yesterday asking me to review Just-Eat to win a £25 voucher. First off I'd like to say that they e-mail they sent was full of mistakes. 1. They didn't write it properly they put "(our our smartphone app!)". 2. The link that says LEAVE YOUR REVIEW doesn't take me anywhere, I had to type in trustpilot just-eat to get to this page manually (via a search engine)
I have been a customer with just-eat for a number of years now, I have opened accounts and then closed them to prevent me from ordering takeaways. Because it's just so easy to order stuff, it almost becomes second nature. The site keeps you logged in, you can call up your local takeaways with a few clicks and then order.
I must admit it can become very habit forming, I must log in to the website at least once a day to see what tempts me. One thing that could use some improvement is the review system. I don't know about some people but I order a lot of takeaways and when it comes to leaving reviews on older orders that I've forgotten about. I have to click the "Leave a review" link next to every order to check, there isn't a little tick box or an indicator next to the order that tells the customer that they've left a review. That's something that could really be useful in making improvements to the website.
I have noticed that there isn't a search box on the menu's to search for specific items, I could even expand that idea along the lines of a search box on the restaurant screen. I know you can select a restaurant type and filter it by Distance or User rating etc, but if your just after a specific dish or something. It might be a great idea to be able to just type in what you want and it comes up with the restaurants that serve that dish. Like I could type in "Chicken Korma" and it would come up with all the restaurants names, user rating, the price of the dish and minimum order.
Then I could make an informed decision instead of spending like an hour looking through a few dozen menus to see if they have what I want, make things even easier for customers I say!
I have installed the mobile app before and have attempted to order, but for some reason when it gets to checking out it just doesn't seem to want to get there. I get a white screen with no progress, so I abandoned using the app in favor of using the website.
I hope my comments have been helpful and thanks for the years of wonderful service.
We had an order rejected from an Indian take away (confirmed by a phone call from Just Eat) and chose to order a similar selection from a different take away who accepted our order.
Little did we know that when our food arrived it was from the first take away who had reportedly rejected the order. When the second order arrived we rejected it.
The phone call from Just Eat that followed was the point where we decided not to use Just Eat again. We explained the mistake that Just Eat had made and the member of staff responded in a very off manner stating that Just Eat would have to compensate one of the take aways (as they should do seeing as the whole situation was their responsibility). He then hung up abruptly.
So in all our experience of Just Eat was pretty dire, especially considering we have had similar issues before. We'll just go directly to the take away in future.
This company are cowboys. Not only did I get charged twice for ordering a Chinese but I then didn't even receive my food. I phoned to speak to someone at Just Eat and got a rude obnoxious man on the other end of the phone who was not in the slightest bit interested in my issue as the 'funds will be put back in 4 days' why would I want MY money back in FOUR days?? If this company is going to take funds then they should be committed to making sure customers actually receive what they ordered.
Horrendous service both online and on the phone. DO NOT USE
i have been Declined 2 times do you have to pay
Simply the worst experience of my life .
I processed and paid for an order of £20. they said when I clicked Pay that there was an error so I processed and paid again.
They took £40 out of my account. It only took numerous talks and finally involving the ombudsmen before they would bother giving £20 back. Their attitude is almost robotic and they simply do not care.
I see also that NUMEROUS other people have had exactly this problem.
Oh and for you ''Gauri'' from Just Eat who has replied, we contacted Just Eat FOUR times regarding this situation and you lot didn't sort it. Why would I want to bother wasting my time again with you thieving little sods? Do you simply apologise and give an email to all the customers you messed about? Which is quite a few on this page....
not happy with this service
I've been in touch with them three times due to food being late not arriving on time and cold. Every time I've called their telephone and customer skills are those of a three year old. I ordered two pizza at 5:20pm I was advised by the site food would arrive by 6:10pm at 6:40pm I phone just eat who told me their was a mistake on their website but it just was what is was no one's fault just wait and your pizza will eventually arrive what a joke... enough said.
I've ordered a few times from JustEat (when a say a few, I'm a student with an appetite for take out food!). While there are a few restaurants that turn up a bit later than expected and miss items off, I tend to go for the ones with the best reviews on the JustEat website, and they all seem to be pretty good!
Thank you JustEat for making it so much easier to order food!
I'm coming across many takeaways that are either putting up prices or increasing the delivery charges when you order via Just-Eat. One example is 'Wok Express' in Watford that charge £2 delivery via Just-Eat yet if you order directly from the Chinese Restaurant it's only £1. Now this is just one example I have over 25 others throughout the London and Herts area doing similar scams. Going back to 'Wok Express' in Watford they are making thousands each and every year, by literally breaking their contract with Just-Eat and ripping customers off - it's not fair and it's not right.
Why should customers be penalised just because companies have to pay a little extra for the privilege of getting extra custom. Now Just-Eat need to start coming down on these business owners heavily, they need to recruit more staff to check on these companies before we start losing confidence and stop ordering by Just-Eat.
I have ordered from many restaurants on just eat many times and all the restaurants are useless! Every time I have ordered from different places and each time they forget at least one thing in my order. Also a number of times I have paid with my debit card and I get a call a few minutes later saying there was a mess up with my delivery and the money will be put back into my account in a few days and it never has been! They just steal my money and do not bring the food. They have stolen at least £40 over the few times this has happened. I have tried to call just eat about missing food and drinks and they always say 'we will phone the restaurant and they will bring it to you' but this NEVER happens. I would NOT recommend using just eat.
Recently this has been happening a lot when ordering from just eat, I've made my order and about an hour to two hours later the take away or restaurant have called me saying they have just received my order ect ect... which results in getting my food late or having to argue with the place I order from and this has happened many times on different days of the week and from different places in and out of London.
At this rate I don't see myself using just eat ever again!
Had a bad experience with just eat last night when away for the weekend. Had no access to emails so decided to do my homework before leaving home by putting the hotel postcode in where I was staying. Picked out a restaurant with a good hygiene rating and jotted down the phone number. Phoned them about an hour before I wanted to eat only to be told they were over 18 miles away and wouldn't deliver. Found another restaurant picked at random on just eat and sent in an order on my phone app asking them to confirm order by phone as no email. Immediately refused order with no explanation, just a text. Phoned customer services to complain but no use really. Apologised and said he would tell his supervisor. Agreed it was unacceptable when you put in a postcode and restaurants come up which will not deliver. Told me any money paid out would be refunded , I was paying CASH. Told him all I wanted was somewhere that would deliver food. He just kept repeating himself. I have only been in the area twice and don't have a clue where takeaways are which is why I was depending on just eat. Picked out another restaurant at random and sent in another order using my phone app, asked them to confirm the order by phone which they didn't. Googled to find phone number to phone to make sure food would be delivered, they assured me it would be there within an hour. Don't know how far away the restaurant was (passed the village on the way home and it appeared to be some way away) but although the food was delicious it was not very hot. In all it took me over two and a half hours to get food delivered.
Would be nice if any of the companies they used actually delivered on time and with food being warm. Why bother, the reason for cooking at home, you get dinner on time and in a state worth eating. If you want to replace eating at home, try getting the food to the house before it becomes cold!
Have used a couple of times and happy enough. Ive moved house and now only 1 place delivers to my house. Food can take a while to turn up too. Plus points are paying by card and occasional promotions can give you a good discount.
They keep you on hold for 10 mins before answering and are not helpful in rectifying complaints. I was told @leave a review and the restaurant will contact you". I had already spoken to the restaurant, to no avail, and was calling Just Eat as a last resort. Useless! I shall be using Hungry House should I order takeaway online.
To be clear, the staff member was not rude, just USELESS.
Surprised to get a 1 1/2 hr wait for a couple of starters and mains, even more surprised to have to ring up after 2 hrs to be told its just being cooked. Too late to cancel and go elsewhere as you've already paid. Expecting to eat at 19.30 and getting to finally eat at 20.30. In total 2 1/2 hr wait for food. Shocking Service!!
I have been buying food from Smokeys in Parkstone for a couple of months now through Just Eat (food from them is GREAT for the record).. I do buy from them at least twice a week..
Tonight i decided to call them direct instead of going through Just Eat.. to find out that minimum order is £10 for delivery.. when i order through Just Eat, they explain that minimum delivery is £15 & wont let you proceed if the order does not exceed this amount.. then charge 50p for a card transaction.. i have been buying unnecessarily for months & they clearly make commission on bigger orders..
Possibly, I would put this down to not keeping the site up to date enough & not ensuring company & restaurant policies are updated accordingly..
I feel cheated & have wasted a lot of money, will not be using them again.
The app does not work either..
We wanted to order from a pizza takeaway. They had a deal what is the topical of "to good to be true", it was too cheap for the amount of food we would receive.
Of course after we ordered the restaurant rejected our order with a fake reason. Later we heard different reason from them.
After contacting Just-eat, they basically refused to do anything about it. with the reply from them:
"unfortunately we have no control over the delivery time or quality of the food prepared and whether the order is fulfilled.
Unfortunately if an order is cancelled we do not allow customers to leave reviews.
I can only offer my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. "
They just collect our money but don't protect our interest.
I have just had a delivery from a restaurant and have found a live bug in my food to my disgust! I have phoned up both the restaurant and just eat who are both refuse to refund me my money. Just eat has a duty to ensure that all of the businesses they advertise adhere to health and safety regulations which obviously is not happening!! Pure disgrace
NEVER again!!! Had a rough day and decided to order some food, kids are in bed so we can't head out and get takeaway, or cash.
I ordered from a regular takeaway I normally eat from and my payment failed. I checked my bank worried, balance was fine! I tried again, failed. Tried typing my name with capitals, retyping the address etc. No luck, just several failed payments. Some failing instantly, some trying to verify though lloyds securecart and then failing.
I then speak to just eat who say the order did not go through and they have no idea why its happening, they apologised but I still have no food. My partner then checks the bank and notices two payments have came off the available balance, he immediately calls the bank who informs us whilst on the phone that a further two more payments were on their way out and because we were actually shopping and it was a mistake and not fraud, there was nothing they could do!
A total of £74 came out our bank for HEE-HAW!
Just eat seen the transactions and said they would get admin team to call in the morning and refund, bank informed me this would take 7 working days at least!
Just Eat would not action the order, or give me a voucher or anything to ensure we still ate tonight and because of the large chunk of our cash they took, we couldn't purchase elsewhere either!!! Not a goodwill gesture or anything.
Absolutely furious, I went to Justeat.....because I wanted to JUST EAT. Instead I think I typed in www.justgetrobbed.co.uk instead.
I think its fair to say that we are very angry and hungry haters of the JustEat Website. There website is unsafe, their checkout unpredictable and does not function safely - they should be shut down.
P.S. Cut out the middle man.... use just eat to browse takeaways and menus - but then google and call the takeaway direct, its cheaper (often with free delivery rather than several pounds like what is charge on JustEat) and many take card payments anyway.
After ordering from my chosen takeaway direct, I got my order and have now been fed, plus I saved £5 by cutting out JustEat.... finally something good to say with JustEat in the same sentence!
I ordered with just eat . The restaurant declined my order as they were to busy . We had a call from just eat to advise the payment would not be taken . So we went out and collected instead and withdrew the money and paid cash . Just eat did not explain that although the funds would not clear my account they would be reserved so that I cannot access them for 7 days . Meaning I spent double the money and the stuff I ordered off amazon just before failed . Meaning one very unhappy me and one very upset son for his bday.
The best online takeaway site by a mile. Plenty of choice and (so I've been told as I've never had to use them!)a very good customer service helpline.
Think I'll use them again tonight ;-)
Ordering from just eat takes the hassle out of standing i a shop queue & people trying to push in front of you , plus if you want to pay by card its not a problem either & they deliver straight to your door at the time you ask them too....
The website is easy to use, but if you do need help with something there's a phone help line.
I've been using them weekly for about 6 months and never had a problem.
I love Just Eat....convenience at your finger tips, no hunting around for menu's, so easy to order and if you want you can pay by cash when your food arrives, which it does and lovely and hot!! would recommend using this website time and time again!! 5*
I love just eat. highy recommened it to anyone. our local takeaways are great, great food, fast delivery i have no problems at all even with big orders when the family is over. its very convinient with the pay by card option when you cannot get to a cash machine and also for when you finish work and tea wont be long by using the mobile app! just simply amazing!
A couple of weeks ago I ordered from a new local takeaway wanting to try them out and when the food arrived I wasn't too pleased, the chicken burger I ordered was horrible, the bun was burnt and very sloppy underneath and just fell apart but I am willing to get places a second chance and two days ago I ordered the same food but I had bigger problems this time with the delivery driver. I live in a set of flats and the two main doors are always open so I expected him to just come up the stairs and knock on my door and deliver but he was too stupid too stupid to try this so he started pestering my neighbours by invading on their privacy by banging on their windows and looking through asking for the doors to be opened , just before all this happened he kept ringing me but my speaker doesn't work on my phone so I text him back asking him to text me back and he just kept ringing and ringing so I kept texting back and nothing and a couple of minutes later I heard this bang on my window and the delivery driver was throwing stones at my window to attract my attention when my neighbour below me opened the doors and he still failed to open them, so I went down stairs myself to open the door and I heard another bang and the stones had chipped my windows and I was ready to throttle him so I asked him if he's going to pay for my window to be repaired and he said ' The doors were not open' and I told him they were and I just took the bag off him and told him to piss off.
I then immediately got in contact with Just-Eat and got through to a person called Kirsty and I told her and she said there is nothing just eat can do because they are just marketers for take away's even though they take my money, she then told me to phone the Police and I told her no and that Just Eat need to do something about this, she then said she's going to call the take away and she did, and she said that the manager said it's very hard to believe even though I told her I have three witnesses then she adds an idiot called 'Winter' to the conversation who tried blowing smoke up my back side and then just told me over and over that there is nothing they can do, so I know have cold food and a damaged window which is going to take a couple of hundred pounds to replace.
Thanks Just eat, I appreciate it
(this was written through my friends facebook account, I am not from Ireland, I am in the UK).
Great way to feed the family when time is short. Order on the go and have it delivered when you want it. Great choice of food - kebabs, pizza, burgers, pasta, chicken - English, Italian, Indian, Thai, American, the list goes on. Fast delivery and hot food straight to your door and you can send special requests to the kitchen when you order so you can get exactly what you want.
This service is fantastic as the site is easy to use, theres a good choice of restaurants nearby, the menu options are great, the site saves your details and preferences, theres a good selection of payment options and they are secure and finally the service is quick.
Also when I had an issue of my order not arriving, they were quick to respond and deal with the issue and gave me a voucher as compensation.
They are a great team and make ordering food so much more enjoyable.
Quick and extremely handy.just eat are the heroes of hunger, always ready to fight for your foodie needs.
I work long hours and, being disabled, sometimes get home and don't have the energy to cook. Just Eat is a godsend for those days. Sometimes, frustratingly, I'll send an order through, it'll look like it's been accepted and then I'll get an email through saying, actually it's been rejected. That can be annoying as I don't always check my emails immediately. Other than that, I have no complaints and foresee using Just Eat long into the future.
This is a great service for anyone who is hungry and really easy to use. Always arrives in good time.
Its easy, convenient, it works! What more could you want :-) x
the service is really good, my orders go through as I intend, and they call if there has been a problem with an order, which has only happened the once, it has not changed my view of the company as they were polite, informed and friendly. would suggest this to anyone.

What a Contrast Across the U.P.!
There are completely different seasons in play from west to east across Upper Michigan this afternoon and evening. A historic snowstorm is pummeling the far western U.P. A friend just across the border from Ironwood reported about a foot of wet, heavy snow since last night. Some areas just southwest of Ironwood have had close to a foot-and-a-half. On the far east end, it's a beautiful spring day. The temperature at Sault Ste. Marie late this afternoon was a balmy 69 degrees with a light to moderate breeze and sunshine (Image 2 above).
In between, bands of showers with embedded thunder are developing. Over central and western portions east of the heavy snow, a mixture of sleet, rain and snow is occurring. Over this area, west of a line from Marquette to just east of Iron Mountain, some freezing rain is liable to develop overnight, too. Most of the icing should occur on elevated, cold surfaces like trees; however, some slippery spots are likely in heavier areas of precipitation. East of this area, only rain is expected.
This wide disparity in weather conditions is the result of a highly amplified weather pattern (Image 3). A large cold trough is developing over the Plains, while a warm, dry upper-level high is forming over southeast Canada. The trough is helping generate the precipitation while the high is bringing warm, dry weather to the Sault. As we move through time, the trough will dig south and "cut-off" over the Lower Mississippi Valley (Image 4). At the same time, the ridge to the east will expand its influence westward. That means a slow drying a warming scenario for portions of the U.P. stuck in winter's last gasp.

This publication analyzes the findings of the survey based on the responses of more than 300 M&A professionals at U.S. corporations, Private Equity (PE) firms, and investment funds immediately after the U.S. election, and provides insights into the expected M&A scenario for 2013.
The last few years have provided the M&A market and the economy in general with many challenges. More certainty around U.S. fiscal and tax policy and movement on the European debt crisis should further solidify consumer confidence and improve global economic prospects. Despite the fact that economic challenges remain, dealmakers are cautiously optimistic and the vast majority of them said that they will be pursuing acquisitions this year. With an improving M&A market beginning to take shape in 2013, appropriate due diligence is an important factor in successful deals.

The MAROON • A Loyola tradition since 1923 • VOL 73 NO. 4 Loyola University New Orleans SEPTEMBER 23, 1994 NO/AIDS Walk sparks awareness By EMILY DREW Editorial Editor A common cause and communitybuilding will bring Loyola together this Sunday as an expected 300 students and faculty from Loyola participate in the NO/AIDS Walk. This 5K walk through New Orleans raises money to support HIV/AIDS programs and services of the NO/AIDS Task Force. Several student organizations decided the walk would be a good way for Loyola to unite and show its support for finding a cure for AIDS. "This is an important event for Loyola to participate in, first and foremost, because of the disease; it will affect everyone if it hasn't already," said Justin Joseph. Director of Finance for the Student Government Association and accounting and finance junior. "It is also a good chance for Loyola to come together. We have very diverse groups on campus and rarely does anything bring people together for a common cause like this." Students will meet in the Horseshoe at 9 a.m. and may stay after the walk for a jazz concert in the park. Lee Andrew DeLormc, a member of Loyola's AIDS Peer Education Program and general studies sophomore, is optimistic about the expected participation. "I think it will be outstanding. However, I still find that there is a level of hesitation because people still associate AIDS and HIV with gays; and that is not the case anymore," he said. r Lisa Talley, executive board member of University Programming Board and communications sophomore, participated in the walk last year and was disappointed in the turnout. "After last year's small number of people from Loyola. I think this year will be wonderful. I certainly hope this is not just a passing fad." Thumala Mansour, communications junior, questions the school's motivations for joining in the walk. "I'd like to think it shows a sincere awareness of AIDS, but I think that it shows that Loyola does not want to look like the left-out party in all of this; Tulane and UNO have always participated in the walk," Mansour said. Critics of the walk claim that the Catholic Church should not participate in the walk because support demonstrates an acceptance of homosexuality and sex associated with the AIDS virus. "I think there is healthy room for dissent. Being concerned ... I just find that's what Jesus would do when people are suffering from a disease that affects men, women and children," said A 1 Alcazar, director of peace and justice, "To call everyone together in the community to do something about the disease is, to me, the most compassionate thing to do." The Rev. James C. Carter, SJ., in a letter to the Loyola community, urged the university to make pledges and get involved in the walk. "AIDS is a disease which, if it has not already, will eventually impact all of our lives. This is an opportunity for the community to make an impression," he said. SGA created a program called "Hero" to give all student organizations an opportunity to make a donation through their budget. A five percent donation qualifies a group as a Hero; and a 10 percent donation earns the title "Superhero." Michelle Byrne, president of Loyola University Student Sociology Organization and sociology/psychology senior, donated 10 percent of the organization's allocated funds to the NO/AIDS Walk. 1 "We [LUSSO] have been involved in the walk for many years and thought this year's opportunity to make a contribution would be a great way to encourage others to show support," Byrne said. Other groups named as Heroes and Superheroes were Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Loyola Association of Music Therapy and Gay and Lesbian Outreach at Loyola. Differing lifestyles split campus By JULIANNE SHERROD Staff writer While there are obvious distinctions between blacks and whites and Greeks and non-Greeks, there is another, more subtle division on campus. It is impossible to discern by jerseys or skin color. Homosexual and heterosexual students are not separated by class or gender lines, but by different lifestyles. In 1993, a handful of students formed Gay and Lesbian Outreach At Loyola. The organization, formerly known as Out/Here, has planned several events, including participation in the NO/AIDS Walk and a gay bowling league. GOAL membership includes "straight but not narrow", homosexual and bisexual students. It also provides a forum for issues other than homosexuality, such as racism and women's issues. "GOAL is designed to fight homophobia, to promote positive gay and lesbian visibility, to educate professors and students, and to provide a positive atmosphere for gay, lesbian and bisexual students to come out in," said GOAL member Ly Nguyen, pre-med/biology senior. Adviser Francis Coolidge, philosophy professor, also noted that most of GOAL'S posted announcements have been torn down before anyone notices them. "The division isn't obvious, but it is visible," Coolidge said. We can't keep fliers up. Getting started was difficult." Despite the support GOAL offers, some students still feel the split. Jennifer (not her real name), a freshman, experienced this division with her roommate in the first week of school. "I didn't intend to come out the first week of school, and someone just asked me," she said. "I didn't want to lie, so I just told them yes. My roommate seemed receptive, but a week later she seemed down and I asked her what was wrong; was everything going o.k. .? I thought it was school or something. She just said, 'It's because you're gay.' " Jennifer, who now has a new roommate, comes from a very supportive background. She said her parents and friends accepted her sexuality. She was president of her class and no one, she said, questioned her choice. "I could do the job [as class president]," Jennifer said. "Here, it's like, why are you making such a big deal out of something so minute." John (not his real name), also a freshman, didn't have any problems with his roommate: he was gay too. "1 couldn't believe how lucky I was," he said. John said that he and his roommate have formed a ready-made support group, even though, "We're very different people." John decided not to use his name because he said that living in the dorms would create problems with his floormates. "Living on campus — that's a bad situation to [reveal my sexuality]," John said. "It's not that I wouldn't if I lived off-campus. I just don't need that hassle in my life." John said his floormates would not be accepting and would give him trouble, unlike his parents and his best friends. "I came out in July. My mom accepted it very easily and then I talked to my dad. I didn't tell all my friends. I told my very best friends and they accepted it. My other friends and acquaintances are very shallow and gossipy. They would be more concerned with who they could tell and shocking people," John said. Mike Sanchez, psychology sophomore and Biever resident admits that he is not always comfortable with the A Campus Divided Part 2 of 4 Staff Photo by Todd Carroll Ly Nguyen said the organization provides a positive atmosphere for gay, lesbian and bisexual students. Loyola ranks high in U.S. By JAKE BAUMAN Contributing writer Once again, Loyola ranked among the top 15 Southern universities and colleges in U.S. News and World Report. Loyola advanced from tenth to seventh. The rankings are issued every fall by the magazine as a partially subjective way to ranking colleges and universities. The Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., was "quite pleased" with Loyola's new rank. He said rankings affect the public's view of a university's academic quality. Jerry Dauterive. college of business dean, called the article "very good news, because ranking get a lot of attention throughout the country." Dauterive said Loyola should try to improve consistently and not become lax because of the rankings. "Students use rankings to screen out various schools," Dauterive said. Carter and Dauterive said that Loyola's size and commitment to liberal arts education are key reasons why the university received high marks. They credit the faculty for their teaching skills and relationships with students. They also agreed that Loyola is on the right track.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will kick off its immigration hearings this year with testimony from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano next week.
Ms. Napolitano, who has overseen the administration's immigration efforts for the last four years, is currently traveling through the Southwest, where she says the border is finally secure and has urged lawmakers to turn their attention to legalizing illegal immigrants and overhauling the broader immigration system.
Both the House and Senate are holding hearings ahead of what's expected to be a bruising legislative fight. The House Judiciary Committee held its first hearings Tuesday, with testimony from advocates and former government experts, but nobody from the Obama administration.

The Story Behind The Brand
The French designer was born in Normandy, 1905. He had a passion was for fashion and the arts. During the World War II, Dior dressed for military wives and other government spouses. He wanted to preserve the French fashion industry for economic and artistic reasons. His designs revolutionised post-war fashion. In 1946, he started his haute couture empire, House of Dior. Christian Dior Couture stayed away from restricting, boxy designs that hid a woman's shape.
Instead, fashion house created beautiful flowing garments that enhanced a woman's curvaceous form. This fashion reform became historically recognised as the 'new look'. The brand became well known for its haute couture and beautiful luxurious creations since the empire launch. It also expanded into menswear, perfumery, accessories, jewellery and cosmetics. Like its haute couture collections, the eyewear collection follows suit.
The Eyewear
Most of the brand's models have a vintage yet glamorous appearance. The optical collection offers a wide range of frame settings. Whether you like chunky full rimmed frames or sleek semi-rimless frames, there's a perfect pair for you. The majority of frames for men and women have a rectangle frame shape. Not only is this a classic shape, it's also a shape that suits all. If you prefer other vintage shapes, the latest designs take your style into consideration; offering a range of frame styles from aviator and square, to cat eye.
Black Tie collection
This collection is the most talked about collection for men. It's stylish, it's sexy, and it pays homage to vintage French fashion. The collection has been designed with masculinity and simplicity in mind. These optical models are sleek, understated, and beautifully executed. The frames are made from the acetate plastic material with a squared shape. Plastic is a great material choice for a contemporary look.

We eat here quite regularly as it never fails to please! Come here for quick, tasty, spicy food! Yum! We love the orange fizzy drink too!
Visited the Street Chef a couple of weekends ago with several friends. I've lived in Sheffield most of my life but this was the first time for me. I didn't know that it existed and what a surprise!

A small place but great food, well priced and superb choice. Staff are friendly and efficient. A must for hungry lovers of Mexican style food.
Visited here as I had heard good things. We plumped for a pulled pork burrito (£4.50) and shared it. It was delicious and well worth the £4.50. I would definitely return again and I want to try the tacos (£2 each).
After going for my millionth visit at the weekend, I thought it was about time I wrote a review. I love street food chef, I've eaten various things off the menu and all have been super tasty. My favorite is probably the pulled pork quesadilla! I always go for medium spice and I do find it varies a bit, but... More
I regularly come here for a bite to eat on my lunch hour, i often go for the chicken mole with salsa verde, fills me up for the rest of the afternoon. I have recommended the arundel street venue to everyone in the office and brought them back a menu yesterday. The only thing i can think to fault is... More
Mexican food is my favourite, eaten it all over the world, the food served here is not Mexican, it's bland and tasteless and expensive, also unless you're prepared to pay ! for the larger sizes, the portions are very small.
This was my third visit to the Street Chef and as always the food was stunning. Staff are ultra friendly and allow you to taste the sauces before deciding what to have on your food. This is great because my wife can't handle food with too much heat. Personally, I'd recommend the beef brisket or pulled pork burrito with habanero... More
I first went to this cantina several weeks ago now and was impressed with the quality of the food and continued to be more impressed on every occasion I have been since and thought it was about time to let other people know about it.

Bombay Club Restaurant & Martini Bistro
Online Reservations
i would highly recommend this to anyone and will certanely return, the Lobster was cooked perfect loved how the butter was kept warm, I dont think I have ever been to a restaurant that plaed the butter over a tea lit candle, loved the grits and cheese and the asparagus was cooked perfectly, the french fries with truffel oil and cheese was a stretch at first but loved the way it came out and tasted would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, Now for the Martini List all I can say is WOW, WOW , WOW,. so many to choose from and the ones we did try were excellent from standard vodka made to martinies made with chanpagne and my mother said it was the best Pink Squirel ever. Thanks again for a wonderful night out.
The atmosphere was great and the food and service was awesome. My one complaint was when we left and came back just to get another drink at the bar, the bartender had a slip up (dropped my drink in the shaker) and make quite a little mess that he had to clean up. Instead of making my drink or getting the other bar tender to make my drink, he started on his cleaning routine, filling the ice, waiting on other customers, etc. Ten minutes went by as my husband finished up his drink, so I ask the other bar tender to make my drink, which she did in 1 minute. That's when he came our way and let us know he had a little mishap, which I told him I saw. Mistakes happen; it's how you handle yourself afterward that he needs guidance with.
I was impressed with the service and the food was fantastic.
We enjoye our dinner immensely! The mussels and creme brûlée were outstanding. I had the drum and my husband had the filet mignon; both cooked perfectly. As would be expected they have an extensive martini menu and a nice wine list. My husband and I had a fantastic meal in a very romantic old world setting.
If you are in New Orleans this is one place you want to visit . Great food , excellent jazz
I really loved the dark, masculine feel of this place. The food was BEYOND excellent! Our service was good and quick, but with a little attitude and not much personality. I almost felt like being there was a problem for our server. However, the music was great and I would recommend this place 100%!
It turned into a romantic evening for us as we were seated in one of the tables with the curtain and not out in the open dinning room. The food and wine were very good and our waiter was excellent. The restaurant's appearance looked different then it comes across on the internet and I was a little taken back when I walked it but all in all it was a very nice experience and most enjoyable.
My daughter recommended the Bombay Club for my wife and my 42nd wedding anniversary. The restaurant was very accomodating to our special request to be in a private dining area that was not too close to the music, but still close enough for us to enjoy the ambience. The food was terrific, and the service was superb! We would DEFINITELY dine here again!
Always a great place for a date! Ask for a booth ahead of time. They provide a great environment for good conversation and excellent martinis!
The Bombay club and restaurant was excellent! The atmosphere was quiet & romantic while listening to a performer a lot of songs singing, playing the keys, trumpet & guitar using a Karaoke machine for backup. The food was great also along with the wine. I would recommend this to anyone else when they travel through New Orleans
We stopped in to take advantage of the Summer Coolinary promotion and the food was excellent. Service was good. When we came in it happen to coincide with their happy hour and it was hard to figure out what was included martini wise since their martini list is so extensive, maybe some kind of separate menu would have been helpful of which martinis are available at the happy hour price. Also, their drink menu didn't have any prices (or at least it didn't for the first 10 pages or so, it is extensive) so I was almost afraid to order one of their specialty martinis although they did look delicious. Overall a good experience and their food was delicious.
We came for dinner, but got so much more. We had excellent service, a lovely dinner, (I had duck liver pate with crostini and a salad, my darling had the Lobster, English Pea and Wild Mushroom Parpadelle), and then we were entertained by a great jazz/blues band. Thanks for a great night out in the French Quarter. We couldn't have asked for more, and we will definitely come back again soon.
This is a great spot to have a martini or a meal. Young or old. The band sound was not such that you had to scream to make yourself heard and we were sitting right next to the band. The old English pub decor was cool. Food was good but not something to write home about. But good. Prices reasonable until you add the alcohol. Oh well. Worked for me!!!
This is THE place. I took my lost love of 20 years ago here. We had the best date ever. Great food, amazing drinks and perfect music. The French Quarter should pay this place just to stay open!
We were seated immediately in a romantic nook. Service and food was excellent. The server was able to pair wine well. The live music was a perfect addition. Overall, outstanding dining experience.
We were in New Orleans with our grown children and wanted a quiet dinner with some good music. We got both, and they were very good! The musical artist was a joy to listen to, and the food we enjoyed was very good. We will return to Bombay Club on our next New Orleans adventure. It is a quiet enclave amidst all the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter.
We went to the Bombay Club as a surprise birthday event. The choice was more about who was performing (Ingrid Lucia) than the restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised by the venue, the service and the food. Dat, our server was absolutely perfect. Extremely helpful with menus suggestions, available when needed but not intrusive. Both of our meals (New York steak and flounder stuffed with lobster) were perfect. The facility, with its dark woods and high back leather chairs is such a calming change of pace from the hustle of Bourbon St. If you are in New Orleans and are looking for a special dinning experience I would strongly suggest you try Bombay Club...especially if Ingrid Lucia happens to be performing!
The atmosphere is wonderful. It is an old-style private club turned martini bar. The bartender is extremely knowledgeable and quite talented! Their specialty is classic and contemporary martinis, but serve all drinks. Terrific service, live music that adds to the ambience, and private tables. And the food was terrific. The duck confit is yummy!
Great food great ambience the calimari was awesome
My wife and I dined here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I was extremly nervous about Shafer would encounter when we arrived. So much so that earlier in the day, I did a walk-by in case I needed to make a last minute change in dinner plans. When we arrived for you 7:00 pm reservation, we were promptly greeted and seated by a very professional and well dressed gentleman. He immediately showed us to a private booth as I had requested. Once seated, we were promptly created by our waiter, David, who also did an excellent job. He was very courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. We enjoyed the food selection which was very tasty and creative. My only critique is the portions are a bit small for the price. Great expertise
Went here with a group of ladies for a nice dinner out. Waiter was very attentive and helpful. They had placed us in the back semi-private room which was really nice. The food was excellent! Highly recommend the redfish, duck, cheese grits and lobster mac n cheese. Had the cinnamon martini which was very good. By the time we left (around 9:30) there were live jazz musicians playing... wish we could have caught more of that. Overall a most excellent experience in a foodie town!
We have been to Bombay several times and it continues to please. The place has great drinks and service. The calamari is a must and possibly the best in the city. Our waiter was friendly and professional and we spent quite a while there in a relaxed mode. Great dinner night.
Overall, we had a nice experience and will return. Food was good. Service was pretty good, but our server seemed to be a little overwhelmed and there were lapses, but nothing serious. Really liked the interior or the place, and noise level was such that you could carry on a conversation without having to shout.
We had a wonderful meal at the Bombay Club. It was hard to decide which was our top pick - Bombay or Commander's!
The food and service were great. Unique decor. The grilled watermelon salad was wonderful. So was the seared drum.
I have been dining at Bombay for over 10 years. I have never been disappointed in the meal or service
An incredible restaurant in a city full of them. This place is a must-do. Food is amazing and perfectly prepared. Ambiance is just right. Dark, with lighting where you need it. There was an outstanding soloist playing all evening. My only complaint was our table was right next to him and when he played the trumpet, it was a bit loud. That said, we were in what I would call the "main" bar/ seating area. There was an adjacent room as well, so if you want the full entertainment, request the main area. If you want it more in the background, request a separate room (though you may lose some of the ambiance in there... I don't know). No matter what, though, when in New Orleans, you must have dinner at this restaurant!
Had dinner here, and absolutely loved it! The live music is fantastic, the service can't be beat and the food/drinks are great! This really was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. The atmosphere makes you believe you're in a 1920s jazz club. We had a great little curtained booth with a view of the musicians. If you're in the French Quarter, definitely stop in here!
A five star NOLA evening. Great food , service, entertainment, ambiance. It is hard to find an establishment that can hit all four.
It was our first night and visit to NO. What a great welcome to this interesting city!
I have been there many times and this time it was as good as always. The good news is that the mussels are back!
Loved the ambience! Food was delicious, great martinis, service and live music!! What else can one ask for!! I will certainly recommend this place and will be back for more cucumber martinis and live Jazz!
While on vacation, we ate at several of the finest restaurants according to different reviews but Bombay Club was the best. Not only for food but the live entertainment with dinner. We enjoyed ourselves so much we went back there two nights later. It's not easily viewed from the street making it feel somewhat secluded. It's a good thing we don't live there or we would be eating there every week.
We found this place by scrolling through your app. Read the reviews and decided to give it a try. the service was excellent and the food was very good. We were very happy to find an upscale intimate place away from frentic burbon st. Plus they make fabulous martinis
Simply one of my best experiences in New Orleans. Knowledgeable service staff, great food, and a unique drink menu made this a must return visit.
I took my fiancee here on the night of our engagement. We had a great time. The service was extraordinary and the food was exceptional. I recommend the lobster bisque.
The food was wonderful; great service and we had a quiet booth where we could talk but still hear the music
We enjoyed our meal here very much. The food was well prepared and very tasty, service was good. The waiter was friendly without being obtrusive. Live music was at a volume that allowed for conversation, although we were admittedly seated around a corner from the musician. A thoroughly pleasant evening.
This spot was so fun Pre-Rhianna!! cozy...cool and hip. Our driver was late picking us up from the house and when I called the restaurant the manager was so polite and said he would make sure to get us a table. When we arrived he sat us in the bar area where all the action is!! I loved this place mainly because it didn't feel touristy and was a super cool bar atmosphere with great service, delicious food and excellent drinks. I highly recommend!!
We decided to meet a few people here for drinks, appetizers and music. Everything was excellent. We tried almost all of the apps and a few sides which were absolutely amazing.
Our server, Dat, was superb. We had tickets for the symphony and he went out of his way to expedite our order. He was courteous attentive and the food was excellent. I will ask for him anytiime I dine there.
We were looking for a place where we could enjoy a good meal and some quiet jazz in the French Quarter. This is it. It is not a Cajun or Creole restaurant, but I had duck and my wife a steak and they were excellent, as were the sides. The martini menu is massive and my drink was excellent. Highly recommended.
When we walked in the Bombay Club we were undecided if we wanted to stay, but we did and after some table swapping ended sitting right by the entertainer, never know if this is going to be good or bad, but Tony Seville was great. The food was good, Ellen our wait person was very accommodating. We would return to see Tony again.
Fantastic martinis! Great food! Thanks for a wonderful evening.
How often do you get to enjoy your dinner in a comfy arm chair? Jazz was great, food was great, service was great, restaurant was unique - so glad I found it through Open Table!
Most definitely recommend!!! Great place for a romantic date or just to escape the Bourbon St.atmosphere..Kinda pricey but with food and drinks this good you can't sacrifice quality for price!!!
The staff was professional and very attentive. I love the old New Orleans ambiance, from the decor, to the cocktails, to the southern charm staff. The barbecue shrimp and cheese grits were amazing ! The talented jazz musicians topped off the romantic evening. We have been to NOLA multiple times, this was a great new find for us, hidden just off Bourban. We will for sure make a return visit !
Very good quality of food. We enjoyed the Thanksgiving out...however, service was slow and incomplete which may have been due to the holiday. I'd come again though for an event.
We spent Thanksgiving at Bombay Club. They were courteous and accommodating. Our meal was outstanding in every way. The server (Dat) was knowledgeable and friendly.
In New Orleans for Thanksgiving holiday and had their turkey dinner pre fixe menu. It was delicious with exception of them running out of cranberry chutney. Overall great food and service. Bombay club could work on decor a little.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Charlie had been at the Hoke County Animal Shelter for a month. The black mixed-breed's time was running out.
On Sept. 4, shelter worker Kristi Pylant posted a doe-eyed picture of Charlie on the shelter's Facebook page. Two days later, it had been shared 722 times and attracted 115 comments and more than 25,000 views.
And Charlie had a home.
"You can't really get 25,000 people to come into your shelter, so it's just a really great tool to get exposure for all of our animals," Pylant said.
Social media have proved a boon for the animal adoption community. Word of available animals can spread across the country within minutes, far beyond the reach of any one animal shelter or volunteer organization and increasing drastically the chances that an abandoned animal can find a new family.
"It has been incredible," Pylant said. "Most of our animals that do get out of here, get out of here because of our Facebook page."
Melissa Katzenberger is hoping to replicate that success in Cumberland County, where the shelter has one of the highest euthanasia rates in the state. More than 10,000 animals are put down each year.
Katzenberger, a new member of the Cumberland County Animal Control Board, this week launched a Facebook page for the shelter's adoptable animals.
"There's no awareness out there of how large the problem is and that there are wonderfully adoptable animals that are not getting any sort of notice at all," Katzenberger said.
Along with volunteers from her photography club, Katzenberger plans to take sharper, more appealing photographs of the animals and share their stories on the page.
They will be taking pictures at the shelter's pet adoption promotion at Walmart on Skibo Road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
"The animals are simply not being photographed well, they're not being networked at all and they just have no chance," she said.
Starting small, Katzenberger hopes eventually to have every adoptable animal's photo on the page as it arrives at the shelter.
"That is the ultimate goal, but that is going to take a large group of volunteers," she said. "The more people that get involved with this, the larger it can become."
Pylant said the Hoke page, which has more than 5,000 fans, has helped the shelter with resources.
"We can basically put out something that we need, even if it's a washer or a dryer or blankets or dog treats - anything, really - and someone will step up and bring that to us."
Though she did not have concrete numbers, Pylant estimated the page has cut the number of animals euthanized at the shelter by about 75 percent since the page was created about two years ago.
"If we can cut our kill rate by 75 percent," said Dr. John Lauby, animal control director for Cumberland County, "that's a godsend for our community."
