Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise tasty food that arrives hot and on time, with several noting delivery came earlier than expected and one calling the food faultless. Staff are described as friendly, polite and clean. Saag aloo is called really nice, and one reviewer found the butter chicken fresh and not greasy, though a little tasteless. Close behind are complaints about flavour and consistency. A longtime customer says the onion bhaji starter was overcooked and rock hard, and the tarka dal and chicken bhuna were swimming in oil and tasteless. Another found the madras watery with chunky chicken, and one says curries were padded out with onion slices. One delivery arrived without the veg curry and could not be redelivered, and another reviewer describes a driver who shouted that he had been knocking like a bailiff at a customer who never heard a knock, leaving them feeling intimidated.

“Been going here for 20 years but lately this place has not kept up to standards. Onion bhaji starter was over cooked and rock hard. The tarka dal was swimming in oil and tasteless. Chicken bhuna the same. No flavour and swimming in oil. The mint sauce seems to have changed recipe and tasted artificial”

“Food was okay. I had the butter chicken and it tasted pretty fresh and wasn’t greasy but a little tasteless. Saag aloo was really nice! Unfortunately, I wouldn’t order from here again as the delivery driver was very rude. I went outside when he called and he beeped so I went over to his car and he shouted at me saying he’d been ‘knocking like a bailiff‘ but I’m in a small flat and we didn’t hear a thing.. felt very intimidated. Awful customer service! Would avoid ordering a delivery on a Monday night”

“I ordered food from Bhaji, and it was absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I could tell they really cared about the customers. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the food arrived so quickly. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to all my friends”
