Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the generous portions and hot, fresh food, with chicken balls called sublime by one diner and the ribs, rice, vegetables and sauces from set menu F3 praised by another. A set meal ordered for five stretched to feed six with leftovers, and a large group order was reported ready in under half an hour. Several mention food collected quickly and still very hot after a drive home. Close behind is the friendly staff, with one reviewer finding them helpful when another takeaway would not accommodate changes, though that reviewer adds that patience is needed with English understanding. Value for money comes up repeatedly, with one calling it cheap but not in quality. The main criticism is mild: one diner found the curry tasted a bit like a powder mix, though everything else was enjoyed. A separate one-star review describes being ignored as a longtime customer, in a dispute that appears personal rather than about the food. Several reviewers note they would go back, and one says parking was right outside.

“We got a takeaway from here on a Saturday night, which was ready in half an hour. Food was generally really good, only the curry we didn't particularly like, it tasted a bit like a powder mix. Everything else we enjoyed. Pretty decent value too.”
- Paul Rampton
“Friendly staff. Food ready for collection. Good portion size and very hot even after a 12 minute drive back. Parked right outside. Would definitely go back.”
