Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are sharply divided, and the one dish they praise is the spicy chicken fried rice, which one diner calls among the best chicken fried rices tried since moving to Edinburgh, though they would like it spicier. One reviewer who has tried the other takeaways on this side of the city calls it the best, with fantastic food and lovely delivery drivers. Soup and ribs also get a kind word, though the ribs sauce was called very salty. Complaints about the cooking recur more often. Several find the food tasteless or too salty, from an orange chicken with no flavour and a fleshy texture to a munchie box where salt was all they could taste, soggy salt and pepper chips, and a satay sauce called rank. One diner who wanted beef curry received beef in plain gravy. Delivery draws repeated complaints: waits of around two hours, a call hung up on, cold food with items missing, and a vegan order that arrived with mushrooms and eggs in the stir-fry after the request was confirmed twice.

“Awful service. Ordered online, locally. Took 2 hours to arrive, when it finally did, food was cold and some of the order was missing. Won't be using again.”

“We ordered a meal last night for the first time in ages and it certainly wasn’t what we ordered. Both my daughter and I wanted a beef curry it certainly wasn’t a curry it was just beef in normal gravy nothing curry about it. I was very disappointed not sure if I will ba back”

“*Shocking service! Rude and unreliable. We won’t be back!* In all honesty, I can’t tell you what the food is like now from this place. What I can tell you is that the staff openly lie to you about the time it will take to deliver! We ordered for local delivery and were still waiting after an hour and a half! We’d phoned twice, once after 40 mins. and were told it would be another 35 mins as they only had one driver on. The 2nd time after another 45 mins, they hung up on us! This was on a Tuesday night, so I dread to think what busy nights must be like!”
- Jules
“Bought a munchie box. All you could taste was salt. The saving grace was the fried rice and curry sauce. The rest was inedible. Waste of money”
