Customer Review Summary
Curry draws the most attention here, but reviewers split sharply on it. Several praise it outright, with one calling it "great value for money" and another singling out a special kabab alongside two curries as reason to return, while a separate diner highlights the hot and spicy chicken parmesan and crispy chips. Set against that is a heavier run of complaints: one reviewer describes a lamb vindaloo swimming in oil with hard meat and no heat, another found stale chicken in an acrid brown sauce, and a third reports garlic bread so undercooked it could be rolled into a ball. Two separate reviewers report finding hair in their food, in one case a keema and in another an order costing £30, both saying they would not return. A further account describes being handed the wrong order, garlic bread and chips instead of what was paid for, after calling to complain.

“Been ordering from khans for well over a decade and I was absolutely gutted when I ordered a keema and to my surprise, hair, a massive clump of black/grey hair. As anyone would, I put it straight in the bin. When calling up to inform them, I was told that I should have kept the hairy keema so the chef could check it. Maybe the chef should have checked that he’s wearing a hairnet?! I know exactly what greasy chef it was as I did use to go regularly! One word, Ew. The hygiene has gone downhill along with the food quality. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY PICKING HAIR OUT OF YOUR TEETH!!”

“Food was disgusting - went straight in the bin. Ordered two curries - stale hard pieces of chicken and meat swimming in an acrid brown sauce. Just awful. No signs of any spicing fresh herbs or anything. Can’t give minus stars otherwise they’d be getting -5!”
