Customer Review Summary
Vegetarian dishes draw repeat praise, with reviewers noting the quality of the vegetarian and seafood options and one diner specifically contrasting them with the non-halal meat dishes served to the rest of the table. Close behind, several call the portions generous and the food consistently good, with one longtime customer saying they'll only ever order from here. But a real split runs through the reviews: others describe the roast duck curry as fatty enough that only the onions were edible, dough balls as oily with barely any chicken, and a chow mein that smelled burnt. One reviewer says food they'd ordered looked "discusting and oily" and describes a dispute over getting a refund. Wait times draw complaint too, with one visit stretching to two hours despite an hour estimate. Staff manner is inconsistent as well, praised as lovely by some, described by others as short and unwelcoming at the counter.

“The food was alright. Nothing special but got and served quick enough. The ladies serving looked and spoke like she would rather have root canal performed by a blind stingray than serve or speak to anyone. …”

“I was craving a Chinese curry and chose the roast duck curry ( the most expensive of the curries) Unfortunately every mouthful of duck was fatty. I ended up only eating onions in the sauce with my rice. Such a disappointment as I’ve always had fabulous takeaways from the happy garden.”

“Very overpriced , atmosphere felt off with the woman on the front desk , food quality was not good and the portion sizes are so small you don’t get much for the astonishing prices”
