Customer Review Summary
Curry is the draw reviewers raise most, from a beef curry to what one calls possibly the tastiest curry sauce they have ever had. Diners also name the special chow mein, noodles, salted chilli chips and General Tso's chicken, calling the food delicious and reasonably priced, with collection ready on time. One customer of over twenty years says the shop is always clean and the food is cooked in view, and staff are often described as friendly. Counter service draws the sharpest complaints. Two reviewers describe a rude man taking orders, one saying he stormed off after asking whether the order had been rung through, the other saying he spoke to them with contempt. A newer customer reports receiving wrong items on three of four or five collected orders. Another was disappointed to learn that pork fillet and chips with gravy separate is only available at weekends.

“Called in as was passing. When I walked in a man came from the back and rudely asked did we ring the order through i said no and he stormed off. I then asked the girl on the till did I need to phone in she shook her head. I will never be back - I also couldn't look at the menu properly as I was put under pressure. Food was just ok. I will never ever order from here again. Plenty of other takeaways whose staff are pleasant and are glad to have your custom. In retrospect I should have walked out and gone elsewhere. Shocking service!!”

“Possibly the tastiest curry sauce I've ever tasted and that's a big statement. Delicious food also, only issue is I live too far away across the city. I wish they'd open one in West Belfast.”
