Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the curries, with a stunning chicken curry and a vegetable curry with rice both singled out, and one family order of eight came with the curry mild and the chips well done as requested. Close behind are chicken balls, french fried onions, ham fried rice and a sweet and sour that keeps the small piece of pineapple and tomato in the sauce, which one diner says many takeaways have dropped. Several praise the counter staff as pleasant. The complaints are about consistency and service. One reviewer describes chewy spring rolls, tasteless chicken and a poor chow mein that mostly went in the bin, and another suspects one of two chefs cooks less well, so some nights are great and others poor. A delivery reportedly arrived wrong, slightly cold and over an hour late, with the phone going unanswered. Another reviewer, arriving shortly before closing, says they were turned away and told the young girl at the counter could not be bothered doing any more orders. Parking on the street outside is mentioned as handy, though one reviewer warns about passing traffic.

“We didn't like the food. The spring rolls were chewy and not crispy at all. The chicken had no taste to it. The Chow Mein wasn't good either. We actually threw most of the food in the bin 😕”
