Food is great

Food is great, thanks. But after our 1st delivery date and 1 hour time slot was notified 4 days in advance, I expected a similar delivery notification. But in this instance I wasn't notified of our delivery time slot until the actual date of delivery.

Really love these curries

Really love these curries. Great they are low in fat as that’s what I really dislike about takeaways. I can have a treat without piling on 3lbs! The prawn curry is to die for.
Delivery was great. Ordering very simple.

I feel the meat needs to spend more time in the curry juice

The curries tasted like they have just been cooked rather than been allowed to simmer overnight prior to freezing. They could do with a little more salt and spices. The simmering would allow the meat to become more tender.
I don’t for one moment believe anyone will take notice of me. My dear wife cooks delicious curries handed down through her parents.

Good quality food but portions a bit too small for 2

Quality ingredients, portion size a bit small for 2 people to share, 1 curry was packaged incorrectly so received potato side rather than the chicken biriyani.
But enjoyed what I did receive.
I did have loads of chunky cashews in some dishes, great for hubby but I picked them out lol, just my preference.
