First time ordering and NOT disappointed. Driver was friendly, smiling and on time. Food was piping hot and very tasty. Nothing swimming in oil, fresh produce, we tried the Chicken Pathia, Tarka Dhal and Matar Paneer, all delicious and would recommend giving this place a go. Will definitely order again.

food tasted okay but so incredibly oily I couldn't eat much at all. also my butter chicken was a korma with a tonne of butter melted into it... if I wanted a korma I would've ordered one, it was 50% oil/butter, 30% sauce and 20% chicken (had maybe 3 or 4 pieces in), very disappointed

Curry was very late and very cold. I called up after 70 minutes and they said the driver was on his way. If he was he took my curry round to see the Christmas lights before he dropped it off as it took another 20 minutes. Wasn’t even that nice. One off the list

Just had delivery from here and ended up chucking most of it away. All 3 curry dishes had the same odd tangy off taste, the onions bhajees were dry and hard and broke into dust when cutting them. The roti and naan bread were dry and unpleasant. The sag aloo was quite nice. so for that reason I’m giving it one star

River Spice - spice by name, spice by nature! Great heat for those that enjoy spicy curries. River must come from the amount of liquid over protein. The chicken could’ve been farmed in Chernobyl. The prawn puri had been scorched by a Samsung micro oven - Uri Gellar would of been jealous of the bend left in the knife. I’d say either upgrade your microwave or chef.

Delivered on time and still hot. Chicken Shaslick was tasty, though not much of it. River Special had some chewy prawns and Lamb but the chicken was good and the sauce very spicy and tasty. Also had the Special Rice, which was OK but not special! A bit expensive for what it was.

Food turned up on time and really hot. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered the slow cooked Sri Lankan lamb and it was so good. My only issue was a £6 delivery charge, to come 10mins, was steep. I would order again but maybe if there were more people to make the delivery charge worthwhile.

Everything was fresh and piping hot, so no oil everywhere, or needing to reheat the food in the microwave, and the complimentary sauces for the popoadums was nice and thick, glad to see that it hadn't been watered down and my order was delivered in record time on a Saturday evening by the really polite driver.

First of all terrible customer service! The man, can't call him a gentleman, was so rude when we called to say we had received incorrect order. Argued with us when we told him what we had been given. Insisted that we ordered the wrong thing... impossible because we ordered on just eat and could see. On top of the poor service, it was the worse Indian in hemel! The pilau rice tasted like normal boiled yellow rice. My tikka masala was just sweet and over coconutty. Generally not nice. There is no a chance of me ever ordering from there every again.

NEVER AGAIN Well, where do I start. I thought I would order me and my partner food from here on her birthday. When calling up, the chap on the other line couldn’t understand what I was asking. Then I wanted to pay by card, we went through it twice and he was obviously getting my details wrong as it was declining so I thought I would save him the trouble and go get the cash out. CALL ENDS. 1 hour and 20 later, the food arrives by a man who tells me he doesn’t know how much the food is. I tell him, they told me it was 31 pound but here have 33 for good gesture. (Bearing in mind I used to love saffron) We tuck in, and it seems to be going well, I get to the bottom of my Jalfrezi and I find a big chunk of sharp metal in my food. I chip my tooth. My partner says I should let them know but I didn’t want to cause fuss. But I thought I would let them know, so when I call they become very dismissive and not one sorry just an enjoy your night. The next day, I get a call back. And it’s the guy who originally took my order; and is shouting the phone at me as if I’m playing a game and I’m making it up. So instead of actually apologising and saying won’t happen again, they blame me! And yelling that I didn’t pay, and that I need to clear my bill. Once I told him I had a ring doorbell his tune changed. I feel he was doing this to disregard anything I was saying about the metal I found. Horrible horrible people. This was my favourite place and I’m quite frankly heartbroken. I’m going to trading standards to seek advice.
