Best onion bhajis I’ve had from anywhere in along time, tikka masala and rice was perfect too

Got a few picky things the chicken tikka and lamb tikka was lovely very tender one slight complaint we ordered chips and onion bajis arrived in its place which were sadly wasted on us as we aren’t onion eaters apart from that lovely food

Like most Indian takeaways these days:, poppadoms either: missing, smashed to a million pieces, or soggy as a wet Wednesday (cooked a week earlier). Not for me, they are ripping off, Time Just Eat checked the quality.

Not been for a while so not sure if new chef but food wasn’t nice, we live close and when food came it was cold, it was cold enough that I could put my hand on bottom of silver container and it not burn me , kebab meat was rubbery and the curry sauce (masala) was tasteless. Such a shame as we used to love ordering from here

Only ordered a hand full of times from here for collection, but on 2 of those occasions they have failed to include a dish that was paid for. (Will always give a second/third chance) This Saturday we ordered for collection, one again a dish was missing and this time the lamb tikka was as tough as one boots. Called to complain and although I received an apology and the promise I would receive the dish free next time I order I won't order again from here. They also said lamb is always tough as cooked in a tergen, really!!! More like old meat or old muten🤢

Food always tasty and delivery time always accurate however one thing i will say is I would recommend just picking the food up and check before you leave the shop as every time we have ordered something is always missing lucky for us we only lived round the corner so no problems picking it up bit annoying but it is what it is, would have been 5/5 but due to this happening multiple times has to be a 3/5

We received the wrong curry. I rang the restaurant to let them know. They said they’d send out the correct curry. We then realised they’d also sent us the wrong naan bread. So I rang back and they were very rude and laughed when I said there was no garlic on the naan because according to them, it was a garlic naan. If that’s what they think a garlic naan is then they need their tastebuds checked! The curry eventually turned up and was bland and the rest of our food was cold. Meal ruined.

My food came at 19.15 which was on time. My food was missing part of the order. I called the restaurant for them to not want to deliver them again. Asked me if could not just get them next time. It was a main part of the meal. When they arrived 4t mins later all the food was cold and soggy. Not happy. I want my money back

I ordered the 8 course special even though the quantity of food for the price was good value the food wasn’t brilliant, the madras was quite salty the poppadoms were very stale and floppy (not a good quality to have in a poppadom) the chicken tikka was bland, the best part of the meal was the chicken chaat and the naan considering it’s an 8 course meal 2 out of 8 dishes being good doesn’t really say much

Chips were hard and dry. Poppadoms were nice. Garlic Nan wasn’t keen at all. Never had an Indians for months and was gutted.

Ordered food in person and was told it would be 30 minutes. I was offered free delivery as I was local. 40 minutes passed so I went in. Food hadn't even been started! Stood almost 20 minutes before food came out. It was embarrassing listening to them arguing whilst in the kitchen! Food was greasy, messy and had so much spice in it we couldn't even taste the meat.
