Customer Review Summary
Praise centers on the takeaway curries, with a long-time regular calling the tandoori mix grill the best and describing proper food and friendly counter staff in a busy environment. Close behind, a late Sunday night Italiano pizza arrived quickly with crispy edges and loads of cheese. The complaints carry real weight, though. Several describe an attitude from the man cooking. One says he refused a request for a particular style of pizza, and another found the chicken doner rubbery and hard. A different diner called the curries basic and the garlic naan short on butter. Wrong orders recur: extras that never arrive, and one customer who paid for three cans of juice found none in the bag. One reviewer says prices have risen and portions shrunk, noting a 12 inch chicken tikka calzone that would barely fit a 10 inch box. One delivery ran well past the quoted time, and the customer collected it in person and got a refund at the counter.

“Been going here for around 6-7 years. The food is incredible. Best takeaway Indian I’ve visited. It’s a 30 min drive to collect so I always ask the girls who take the orders to double check everything is there. The girls are super nice especially in a very busy environment. Always spend around £50 each visit and always worth it. Proper food from this place. Get a proper curry from this place and you be disappointed. Tandoori mix grill is the best.”
