“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 …”

“Girl at the counter was sound but the guy making the food wasn’t all that they had so much attitude. I had Ordered chicken donner for 5 people but chicken was just rubber and hard I did request them to cut fresh,my dad is a popular chef in Scotland he had requested for a certain pizza but the guy just refused all he had to do was to make a pizza quit certain way thin thick crust etc… First impression bad impression”

“Ordered food at 19:10. Email said 80 minutes wait, was prepared to wait that. Come 20:40 its still not been delivered. Drove down to collect it and the guy cooking the food was so rude. Got my money back off him and went 2 minutes up the road and the food was ready in 10 minutes. Atrocious service. Rude staff (apart from the lady shes lovely) but honestly go 2 minutes up the road and get better food and quicker service without the attitude.”
