Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on the curries. Fans call the chicken curry a favourite, praise the massive portions and value, and describe food that arrives quickly and hot, with one noting an order by phone was ready very quickly and a request for extra ingredients was met. Critics single out the special curry, calling the meat tough and bland or inedible, and one says the salt and pepper chicken was not cooked fully and the chips were poor. Several complain the food seemed undercooked, overcooked, or like it had been sat out and warmed back up, and one says a delivery arrived within 15 minutes, which they felt explained the undercooked meat. One reviewer reports throwing the food away out of worry about getting ill. Delivery draws mixed comments, from a wait of over an hour with cold food after being told it was on its way, to a driver who hammered on the door within seconds of the customer approaching it. One reviewer got a call at 4pm about an order placed for a later slot.
