Rapper Big Narstie apologises after diner served 'alarming' apple and cheese salad at his Tenerife restaurant

A baffled diner has has been left in shock after visiting Big Narstie's Tenerife restaurant and being served an apple and cheese salad. Social media user Mylesmello explained he'd been on holiday on the Spanish island and decided to visit the London rapper's Jamaican eatery, called Narsties.

Expecting high-quality food due to the restaurant boasting a 4.4 rating out of five on Google reviews, the holidaymaker was left confused when his apple an cheese salad arrived. Uploading their grievance to Twitter, Mylesmello dubbed the food "2/10" and expressed their unhappiness with the meal, as reported by MyLondon.

They wrote: "I went to Big Narstie's restaurant in Tenerife and yeah…2/10, wouldn't recommend. I ordered the jerk steak, fries and an apple and cheese salad (?). THIS WAS THE APPLE AND CHEESE SALAD @bignarstie."

The diner's meal of choice was the Jerk Steak and chips, served with apple and cheese salad for 15€ (£12.79). Lambeth-born rapper Big Narstie opened up his Jamaican restaurant in Costa Adeje, southwestern Tenerife, back in early 2022. His menu features classics such as jerk chicken, beef stew and rice, mac n cheese, Rasta Pasta and off-board 'Mummy's Specials'.

The tweet was shared alongside a photo of the meagre salad offering and has now been viewed almost one million times. However, fronting up to the salad, Big Narstie himself replied to the diner on Instagram and offered him a meal on the house.

Laughing at the start of the voice message, Narstie said: "I can't even lie, I'd be p****d too. I am so sorry about that, my guy. I just b*******d my team about that, man, apologies. Language barriers."

He added: "I hope I can make it up to you and that, get you another meal or something about that. Sorry, my g, I just glimpsed this on my Insta as well now. But yeah, apologies."

After receiving a response from the rapper, Mylesmello said he "couldn't even be mad at him". He wrote: “Lol to all the people saying 'who orders apple and cheese salad' - bro, I just wanted the steak and fries, it came with it. Narstie sent me a message on IG tho I can’t even be mad at him.”

Mylesmello’s tweet has been viewed almost one million times, racking up 417 retweets, 427 quote tweets and 3,384 likes. Specsavers’ official account replied: “Does what it says on the tin.”

Keshiro_ asked: "This is crazy but… did apple and cheese not send alarm bells??" Mylesmello hit back: "Lol yes but I just wanted the steak, it came with it."

Meanwhile, Swolenshoulders, who appears to be a fan or the restaurant, added: "Nah every time I’ve been there it’s been levels I can’t lie."
