Customer Review Summary
Curry draws the warmest praise, with one regular calling the chicken curry supreme the best they have ever tasted and another singling out the lovely curry sauce, though a third found the curry sauce had no taste. Close behind are the fish in crispy batter with fluffy chips, and mini spring rolls described as the best around. The chip side splits opinion, since others found the chips pale and floppy, the sausages anaemic and the chicken so dry it was hard to swallow. The Chinese dishes draw the sharpest complaints, including chewy beef in chow mein, dry chowmein, overcooked rice, beef in black bean sauce with barely any sauce, and duck in plum or BBQ sauce that was syrupy or watery. A couple call it overpriced for the cooking. A few mention a long wait because food is cooked to order, while others describe quick service and hot food. One reviewer recalls staff looking after an older man who cut his leg.

“It was my first visit here, very clean, quick service 😀 considering the heat of the day, brilliant service, actually also the atmosphere as I was talking to a lady who had seen me walking, said how quickly I had got there in the heat. Very impressed with the food, crispy tasty batter on the fish,cooked to perfection, chips also fluffy inside all lovely and hot! I wish I had just got a small portion as I hate waste especially when the food is so good! Thank you, keep up the good work!”

“Can't speak for the Chinese but don't bother with chippy side. Although cooked to order the chips were floppy, sausages anaemic and the chicken so dry I could barely swallow it!”

“Had a chicken curry supreme with small chips extra hot and extra onions for the last 3 Wednesdays, it's cooked in front of you fresh so you may wait a small bit ok. But without a shadow of doubt thos place does the curry I've ever tasted in my life. They have a very extensive menu and the staff are brilliant. So friendly. People please try it and use it. You will not get a better takeaway in Exeter that I know as I've tried at least 150 over the years.”

“Beef chewy in chow mein, curry sauce had no taste, salt and pepper wings were generic frozen ones no salt or pepper and salt and chilli chicken was like gristle again no spice or taste.. normally u would expect spending that much would get free prawn crackers.. probably the only thing with taste. Went into the bin!! £50 wasted”
