“Absolutely delicious food! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Lamb Madras, and both dishes were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The delivery was really quick, and the staff were friendly and polite when I called. You can tell they care about their customers. Tasty food and great service – highly recommend this takeaway in Colchester!”

“Watery curry with no taste other had so much salt it was uneatable no spice in the bombay potatoes . To make matters worse the delivery driver had no change so it cost me £5 over the bill price. So disappointed!”

Customer Review Summary
Onion bhajis are the most repeated draw, described as crispy and tasty, with several reviewers also praising the lamb that melts in the mouth, butter chicken, lamb madras, chicken tikka biryani and a tandoori mixed grill. Many say orders arrive hot and quickly, and describe friendly staff and polite drivers. Reviews split sharply, though, and the complaints are specific. One reviewer received the wrong order on collection and found delivered food cold with smaller portions than before, while another found the poppadoms stinking of old oil and the main courses tasteless. A chicken tikka masala is described as having tough lamb and a sugary sauce, and that diner reports both people had upset stomachs afterward. Another reviewer describes a watery curry, an over-salted dish and unspiced bombay potatoes, plus a driver without change that left the bill five pounds higher. Even so, one longtime customer says to try it for yourself, and a large order is praised as arriving promptly with no mistakes.
