Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the curries themselves, praising rich, well-balanced sauces and generous portions, with a chicken pathia and keema rice order called the best one reviewer has had from here. Several describe food that arrived hot and well packaged, and a few point to value, including cash on collection. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly on the phone and efficient with orders, with a few noting extras thrown in, more sauce added to a side dish, and a lamb dish prepared for a partner. The negatives are fewer but specific. One diner found the chicken tikka masala super sweet and gloopy, the bombay potatoes light on flavour and the garlic chilli chicken odd tasting, and also mentions a card machine that did not work. Two others report slow deliveries, one over an hour with the wrong food and cold dishes and no apology, the other a buna sent in place of the lamb saag that was out of stock.

“If you are looking for authentic, flavor-packed Indian food, look no further. This Curry House is an absolute gem for takeaway! We ordered a few different dishes, and every single one was spot on. The spices are perfectly balanced, the meat is incredibly tender, and the sauces are rich and deeply flavorful—not greasy at all like some other places. You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients and truly know what they are doing in the kitchen. The food arrived piping hot, delivery girl is so cute and bring the food with a smile, well-packaged, and the portions are incredibly generous for the price. The staff was also super friendly and efficient when handling the order. This has officially become our go-to spot for curry night. If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out. Support this amazing local business—you won’t regret it! 10/10 highly recommend!”

“First time here and I won't return. Card machine conveniently didn't work so had to pay cash and the food wasn't great. Chicken tikka massala super sweet and thick gloopy sauce bombays didn't have much flavour and the garlic chilli chicken had an odd taste sorry not for us. Employees were arguing in the back so a little off putting.”

“This is our go to takeaway. Food is always great and the staff are friendly. Never shy to throw in a few extras here and there, too.”
- Tim Dargavel
“Absolutely garbage. Worst curry I've had in years. Not only that but it took forever to arrive and then when it arrived he said "sorry I didn't have your lamb saag so I've just given you a buna instead". Worst food, worst delivery, worst attitude. Avoid if you like curry.”
