Horrible Food and Dangerous Health Risk - Never Ordering Again!!!!! I wish I could give this place zero stars. I ordered a Lamb Dansak, and my fiancé had the Tandoori Platter. To say the food was disappointing would be an understatement. The dishes were incredibly bland, with barely any flavor—completely lifeless and lacking the rich, aromatic taste you'd expect from Indian cuisine. But the worst part? I’ve been suffering from severe food poisoning for the past four days since eating this meal. It’s been a nightmare! This isn't just a case of bad food; it's a serious health hazard. I’m appalled by the lack of quality and care that went into preparing this food. I will never order from CHANDI EXPRESS again, and I strongly advise others to avoid it at all costs. The risk just isn't worth it.

Simply a joke. My order got cancelled around half an hour into waiting. They won't leave a reason why it was cancelled, and they won't answer the phones. I'm now left £50 out of pocket at 8 pm on a Sunday and the refund will take 3-5 days to get back to me. I've been ordering from these guys on almost a weekly basis for years but sadly I think this is going to change. I used to love their food but I'm going to have a look around as Cranbrook doesn't leave many options. Just too many mistakes have led to losing a loyal customer. Edit: What's even funnier is Foodhub have even emailed me someone else's complaint! I now have all the contact details and information for a Matt Smith. Huge breach in GDPR.

I ordered matar panner ,daal tarka and garlic naan from this restaurant and the taste and quality was horrible. The paneer dish they served not had a single panner piece in it and it was sweet like a custard. Tarka daal was just a boiled lenlits nothing else. Spend 15£ and couldn't even eat half of it. I ordered it from Uber eats otherwise would had returned my dinner back to the kitchen where it was cooked. Would never recommend anybody who is fond of eating indian food, it would be waste of money and your evening.

Absolutely unbelievable, we waited 1 hour 40 mins for our order to arrive, from ordering to being delivered. What a shamble. When our stone cold food arrived we then had no rice, so we ate a curry with our bread.. what an absolute let down from this restaurant, to then ignore phone calls and no supplying us with a refund. We used to order from here regularly but not again.! A complete joke of a Indian takeaway

Went here for a takeaway recently. Meat and sauce was good, even if could have been a bit more generous with the meat, but the rice was very poor quality. Have never had rice like this in an Indian takeaway before, not sure what they are doing so wrong with it but it’s not how you would expect. Had the lemon naan which was a nice option and something different to the norm.

Mixed feelings about the food, I eat the same selection of food at any Indian restaurant, Tikka masala was really not good, I’ve had better in my teens from a jar so at nearly £12 was a let down, my wife’s king prawn byriany was good, onion bargi’s not good, keema naans were amazing and the strangest experience was being able to buy apple crumble from an Indian takeaway, and it was amazing, over all probably would not eat there again to though,

This was our first order from this particular Indian. We choose it as we heard good things (the people saying good things must have lost their minds) and because of the fact you can pre order which not all Indians within the area offer. We asked for it to be delivered at 8pm. At 7pm the doorbell rings and to our surprise it’s the delivery guy. We stated he was an hour early and we weren’t ready yet (my partner wasn’t even home from work and I was in the process of putting my child to bed) he said ‘’early is better than late’’, left the order on the doorstep and drove off. I instantly rang Chadni to advise them of the poor service I had received. An even rudier man answered. I explained my issue and he again stated that earlier is better than late. I asked him what the point In giving the option to have specific times for the food to order was but all he could focus on was that the order wasn’t late so this must be fine (which it obviously wasn’t). I went on to explain my partner wasn’t home yet and his response was ‘’it’ll stay warm for an hour’’. After a lot of back and fourth I got no where, he wouldn’t pick up the food and also wouldn’t deliver a new one at the time I had originally asked. I gave up. We ate the semi warm food an hour later which was average at best. 24 hours later, both me and my partner have severe stomach issues vomiting etc. I would not touch this place even if it was free. Rude staff and shocking food. Stay away! It’s cheap but it’s 100% cheap for a reason. Absolutely useless!

We’ve ordered from this restaurant countless times before and they were our favourite take-away, until having to wait TWO HOURS after the expected delivery and calling FOUR times to chase them, only to receive a cold and poorly made curry. The food is usually amazing, but the fact that it wasn’t even up to its usual standard after waiting three hours for it, really rubbed salt into the wound. When we called the 4th time, we were finally told it would be another half an hour to wait. It was nearly another hour after that and all we got as an apology was an extra pot of mint sauce. Ruined our Saturday night and our opinion of this restaurant. We will avoid ordering from them again.

Unbelievable! DO NOT USE THEM! When I was placing the order it said the delivery time would be 35 minutes. When I placed the order it went up to 1 hour 30 minutes. When it still hadn't arrived by then I phoned them and was told it would be 5 minutes, no apology for the delay. When it hadn't arrived after another 15 minutes I phoned again and was told it was about to arrive. When I said that I was told 15 minutes that it would arrive in 5 minutes she lied and said she'd told me 15 minutes, and wouldn't accept this wasn't what she said. She then rudely slammed the phone down on me. The order finally arrived 10 minutes later, almost 2 HOURS after I'd placed the order. This is unaccepted. The food was fine, but we couldn't enjoy it after the experience we'd had. Rude, no apology for the delay, shocking service.

However tonight for reasons I don't know it seemed that there was almost no sauce, well there was sauce but it was only half way up the container. I'm not looking for a refund but just to note as I don't believe in creating bad business you or anybody. Otherwise the food was still delicious, hot and on time.
