Honey chilli chicken draws the most mentions but splits opinion: one reviewer calls it very tender, another finds it soggy, mostly batter, and reports choking on a bone. Chicken balls are called soggy and the curry and chips tasteless. A parent says a requested mild curry kept arriving hot. One praises fast food and nice staff, while another waited for a remake that was still wrong.

“Ordered food for collection but when we got there they'd made something completely different so waited another 25 minutes while they remade it. Got home and found it wasn't what we ordered. Having lost the will to live it was binned and we won't be back”

“The food was really good compared to lots of other places. Food came out really fast and the staff were really nice.”
- Alan Rea
“Crispy chicken balls should be renamed as soggy chicken balls. Curry and chip were tasteless. Honey chilli chicken was good, very tender. Wouldn't go back I'm afraid.”
- David Bladon
“Every week for the past month I’ve tried this place and having young kids I’ve asked them when ordering if they could make a mild chicken curry. The first time it was borderline, the second time when I was in the shop ordering I asked again and got home to find it hot, went in again tonight and asked very politely if they could do a mild one as the others were still hot, told no issues and guess what? Got home this evening and the kids can’t eat it because it’s so hot. Gave them a chance but will going elsewhere from now one, it’s not hard to tame down a curry.”
- Rachel Madden
“Got honey chilli chicken, seems to be no chicken and all batter, it’s very soggy and i choked on a bone that is clearly not supposed to be there!!!”
