Customer Review Summary
The curry is the main draw. Reviewers repeatedly praise its hot kick, which one says few Chinese takeaways match, and another calls it a unique curry they cannot get anywhere else. A tasty beef curry and chips with curry sauce get specific mentions. Close behind are the pancake rolls, which one diner ranks among the best they have found, along with dry spare ribs and a spring roll that another found delicious. Friendly service comes up often, with several describing the owner as a friendly guy who goes above and beyond, and a number say they have been returning for years. The complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer found the premises in need of a good clean, with an air of grubbiness and decor that looked untouched for years, and said they would look elsewhere. Another asked for no onions on a beef curry, found them in it anyway, and had to pick them out. That diner also felt prices were a little high, but said they would still go back.

“This takeaway was adequate for a meal when nothing else was available. The food was freshly prepared, and the sales assistant was plesant. However, the whole place was in need of a good clean. It looked like it hasn't been decorated for years and had an air of grubbiness about it. Will efinitely be looking elsewhere in future.”
