The price might sound expensive for Saizeriya at first glance - given that quite a few of their dishes are half that price and the price doesn't include rice - but when you consider what is on the plate it is great value for money. You get a decent sized juicy 100% beef burger with two pieces of chicken, plenty of corn, hashed potatoes and golden fried shrimp. I have always found everything on the plate delicious, but usually pass the shrimp to the kids, because they really love it. I get it with rice or bread to help counter all the fried food. I think the rice (rather than bread) goes better overall.

While the dish is hearty, it does feel a little too meaty in some ways! Sometimes I am in the mood for fried meat, but I wouldn't order this if I wanted more of a balance of flavors. The corn does offer a nice contrast in texture, but while a generous portion, it's not enough vegetable. I'd love to see them add broccoli or carrot too. The hashed potato doesn't really count as they are also fried! Also, I would recommend getting it with rice for a similar reason - to offer more of a balance of textures and so that you aren't just having all fried food.
