Customer Review Summary
The chicken curry draws the most praise, with several reviewers calling portions massive and value for money and describing it as awesome and quick to arrive. Salt and pepper chicken and the chips also get named, though not as favorably. Close behind the positive mentions is a recurring complaint about the special curry, with multiple reviewers describing the meat as tough, bland, or undercooked, and one calling the salt and pepper chicken not fully cooked. Delivery timing is inconsistent too: one reviewer waited over an hour after being told food was on its way, another got food within 15 minutes that arrived undercooked, and one described food tasting reheated after sitting out. A separate reviewer reports food that seemed under or overcooked enough to worry about becoming ill, though this was a single account. Despite this, some describe fast phone orders with extra ingredients added on request and food arriving delicious and hot.
