Customer Review Summary
Curry draws the most mentions, with long-time customers calling the curries perfect and gorgeous and others naming the rice and curry as their favourites. Chips come close behind, with one regular noting they were perfect this week too, and the egg omelets are described as very authentic. The chicken box, hyped on TikTok, splits opinion: one reviewer found the flavours unreal, while another thought it was just normal enough. Consistency is the main complaint. One reviewer says the food was hit and miss for a while before improving, another found the curry sauce the most tasteless they had tried, and a third describes a chicken curry that was mostly water with little chicken. Staff are called rude on the phone and in the shop, and one delivery arrived cold after a long wait. One reviewer also reports a staff member cooking chips after fussing with a dog outside, without washing hands. When the short order was reported, the shop offered to send a second curry after checking it over.

“Food is good, but staff are so rude. Their telephone manners leave a lot to be desired, in the shop they never say thank you. One of the staff went outside to rub and fuss around a dog, she then came back into the shop and proceeded to cook chips at a fryer without washing her hands.”
