Customer Review Summary
A smaller group report serious problems with delivery and hygiene. One reviewer describes finding long black hairs woven into onion bhajis that made them feel ill, and says an email to the restaurant went unanswered. Others cite very long delivery times, a delivery driver who became defensive and blamed a printer, a sauce-soaked bag arriving cold, and an in-person order where a staff member held up a finger to make them wait while taking a phone order, an experience that reviewer says has kept them away. The same late-night reviewer recommends arranging pickup, which they found smooth even at closing time.

“I ordered food at 21:50 on Saturday, which is very late. Even though they were closing soon they called me to check my order due to me listing an item removal that was also in other dishes I'd ordered. I arranged pick up and arrived just as they closed but they were still lovely and friendly and the food was incredible. I have ordered before and the quality was the same, just great! Although a little far from me I'd say it's my new local! Thank you for the great service guys”

“Seen multiple people with the same complaint looking at reviews, 1 hour and 40 minutes it took for us to revieve our food and we live 10 minutes down the road. When I asked why food was late the delivery driver got an attitude with me and blamed the machine at the restaurant for not printing the order....even though I rang earlier to follow it up. The worst takeaway I've ever ordered. DO NOT ORDER HERE.”
- Mark
“Go in at 7:30 to order 3 ice creams, asked if ordered yet and said no just want 3 ice creams.the phone then rings and the guy proceeds to take the order which isn’t a small one and just puts his finger up to us as if to wait, erm no mate I was there ordering and you think a phone order more important. Won’t bother coming back here”
