Customer Review Summary
Diners who praise the food single out the flavour, describing dishes as full of flavour and made with a blend of fresh and dried spices, with a variety of dishes all spot on. Generous portions of meat left enough for lunch the next day, and delivery is called quick. Close behind come the friendly service and the wide selection of dishes, and one customer with peanut allergies says staff assured their safety. An almost equal share of reviewers were let down. Naan is the most repeated complaint, called small, half its usual size, and the worst one reviewer has had, while a keema naan was soggy with no keema filling. Others found curries watery or flavourless, including a chicken bhuna and a beef jalfrezi, and describe salty dishes, tiny chicken tikka pieces, a greasy, rock hard bhaji and lukewarm food. One reviewer's tandoori mixed grill never arrived after a muddled phone order, and they say they were told to pay again for it to be sent out.

“I find it hard to even consider this a curry, i got a chicken bhuna for myself which was just a flavourless liquid, the consistency wasn't great with it genuinely just being a liquid and the flavour being very faint. My partner got a beef jalfrezi which was equally as flavourless other than it tasting incredibly salty”

“Beautiful food and friendly service. Thought I would try one time as my usual curry shop was closed and I’m glad I did. This is now my new curry shop.”

“I've got to say I was very disappointed about the meal we have just had. We've been going here for years and it's always been nice but this time, the food was salty, the chicken tikka bits were tiny and the naan breads were half the size as normal. I've got to say after spending £34 for 3 of us and that wasn't even a curry each!! I don't think I will be going back which is a shame really. But the place seriously needs to look at the prices and it's produce because personally I think it's cheap produce and over priced!”

“Used this place 3 times in the last 10 days and everything is good apart from really small Naan breads. However, tonight’s order. The young lad on the phone was clearly new and didn’t know what a tandoori mixed grill was. I had to explain. Which he still took a lifetime to figure out what it was. Which he didn’t as I didn’t receive it and when I telephoned to tell him. He said I’d have to pay for it again for them to send it out. I have asked for the manager to call me to resolve but don’t hold out much hope as they have called already about an hour later to ask if I’ve placed an order. About 90 mins after receiving my incorrect order. Seriously disappointed and will not use again and I’d recommend others don’t as this in my opinion is terrible service. If they keep this young lad employed on the telephone. They will go bankrupt. Simples”

“We placed our first order here last night on the back of a recommendation and were pleasently suprised! The food arrived promptly and Syed provided excellent recomendations over the phone. The flavours were outstanding, thanks to a perfect blend of fresh and dried spices. Generous portions of meat meant there was enough left overs for lunch the next day. Highly recommend giving them a try.”
