Courier arrived 20 minutes late with my order. Food is stone cold and my gulab jamun is missing. Courier did not apologise, nor offer an explanation for why he was late. This is unacceptable. I want a refund.

For me, the beef masala is a go-to. It’s delicious and it has a generous amount of onion and both red and green capsicum to lend flavour and texture. I got the palak kofta for the first time tonight. While it was definitely tasty, there were only two koftas in the serve, so I would not say it is value for money. I would have expected three, and I would have thought they’d be bigger. The samosas are lovely and crispy with a tasty filling. I will keep coming back to this restaurant for my Indian.

The chilli chicken was not quite chilli chicken. Just adding onions, capsicum and Chinese sauces doesn’t make it chilli chicken. U have to treat the chicken as well. Especially Requested DRY chilli chicken but had so much gravy. Goat curry was just ok. Not ordering either of the dishes here again.
