Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise hot, fresh food in generous portions, whether collected in person or delivered, and several describe it arriving quickly. Close behind are good value and the vegetarian options, with one regular saying they have eaten here for years. Another reviewer received free prawn crackers and fried bananas, though they found the food fine rather than outstanding. The main complaint is late delivery on busy evenings. Several describe orders arriving well past the expected time, phone calls going unanswered, or being told the driver was held up by traffic. One says the food turned up cold and soggy, and the person who answered their call was unhelpful and ended it. Some of these reviewers say the place is usually good, which made those nights stand out. One reviewer who was given noodles instead of the special fried rice they ordered went back the next day and had it replaced for free.

“If I could leave 0 stars I would. From ordering to receiving it was around 2.5hrs. The food had been out for delivery for 45-50 minutes before I received it freezing cold and soggy. I phoned to try and resolve this with them to be greeted by a very rude and unhelpful woman who told me not to order again and then hung the phone up on me. I would avoid at all costs.”

“Usually order from here a couple of times a month via just eat, but they've been unavailable. Any update on opening times and days also would be helpful.”

“Ordered my food at 18:20, it is currently 20:09 and it still hasn't arrived and they won't answer the phone. Pure disgrace when they are normally good. Will be initiating a chargeback.”
