Customer Review Summary
The complaints are just as specific. Two reviewers found the food over salty, one saying a salt and pepper box was so heavily coated they had to throw it away, and the other saying both dishes were underfilled. Another reports small portions with no meat in four chicken bites. Two describe a rude owner or phone manner, including a wrong order where staff said chicken curry had not been requested. One reviewer was told several times the card machine was cash only.

“Has definitely gone down hill recently, the lady owner (presumably) is rude, doesn't greet customers, won't put change back in your hand as though she is going to get the plague. Bought two dishes, and both were underfilled and over salty, given the cost it's unacceptable. Won't be going back there again!”

“Never again... tastes very bad,portions are way too small and zero meat inside... 8£ for 4 chicken bites? That's a big no”
