Customer Review Summary
The special combination curry draws the most repeat praise, with reviewers describing fresh, hot food, tender beef and chicken, and portions generous enough to stretch into a second meal. Close behind, the vegetarian Thai Green Curry earns a standout mention as a big, delicious portion, and the cheap snack boxes, including one with noodles, salted chili chicken, and sweet and sour sauce for £5.75, are called good value and quick to arrive. Several note fast delivery and friendly staff at the desk, with two separate reviewers thanking a staff member by name for the service. One reviewer says chips are the only letdown among otherwise consistently enjoyed dishes. Against this, a single reviewer describes food that was dry, oily, and poorly presented, calling it not worth even a low price, a sharp outlier against the otherwise strong pattern. One order for a party was praised as reasonably priced and enjoyed by everyone present.

“Ordered a special combination curry, half/ boiled rice & chips, 3 spring rolls, came with complimentary prawn crackers. I asked for a spicy curry, which is exactly what I got. Food is always fresh & hot & quickly delivered. Never had a problem, tonight's food was excellent! Plenty for another decent sized meal for tomorrow too. I'm like a kid in a sweetshop, can't decide what to shove in my gob next!! 🤣🙈 Plenty of prawns, tender beef & chicken, perfect (for me) heat. Highly recommend. Not stuffed with veg to fill it up, full of meat. Really enjoyed, thanks Angela, compliments to the big man!”

“Have had several dishes from here and have not been disappointed. Not a huge fan of the chips but that has been the only thing I didn't enjoy, everything else has always been beautiful”
