Dinos

Dino's is one of the busier independent fish-and-chip shops in west Dundee, trading from a small parade on Brown Hill Road in Menzieshill — the post-war housing scheme south of Lochee and east of Charleston. The shop runs as a full chippy-and-pizza combination, with fish suppers, sausages, pies, fish cakes and scampi on the chip-shop side and a substantial pizza, kebab and burger list bolted on for the late-evening trade.

The menu draws a steady cross-section of local custom: families using it for a midweek tea, late-finishing shift workers from the surrounding closes and the weekend after-school run from the Menzieshill schools. Reviews on the aggregator pages consistently single out the pizzas — the dough is made fresh on site — and the friendliness of the counter staff; the chips and haddock pick up regular praise too, balanced against occasional comments about peak-time waits. The unit itself isn't large, but the combination of full chippy and full pizza menu has given Dino's one of the broader takeaway cards in the Menzieshill scheme, and a base of regular collection customers from the immediate Brown Hill streets.
