Spicy Corridor- Restaurant & Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

Here's the thing. I like the place. Food is tasty and quite bit of variety. I have been coming to this shop for over the past two years and had no issues until they opened up the all you can eat buffet spread. I often go there to buy take away rice and curry. During covid they had the 1 meat three veg option which they serve you in Styrofoam containers for $14. Since they opened the all you can eat spread they expect you to pay $16.50 for a small plastic container which is either 500-650ml container. It is smaller than the previous Styrofoam container they had as the plastic containers don't have the hight due to flat lids. Once you put two scoops of rice in there there's hardly any space for curries. You have to sacrifice one for the other. I find myself taking very little rice to accommodate for the curries. Now the shop owner may say that they're prices are up because of the recession. No excuse for being stingy though. There are other place in cranbourne and which you can get bigger volume of food for few $ less. As a slap in the face when I was there last week as I was struggling to fit the curries into my containers the female server behind the counter was filling up a bigger Styrofoam container of rice and curry with ease. Most probably for herself to take home. She had more rice and curry in her container than i the paying customer can fit into that small plastic box. Recession or not you guys have to be reasonable for the price to ratio. I still commend for the quality of food. However if I have to keep paying $16 for little amount of food then I'm ditching this place. Spicy flames in cranbourne is more value for money even though they have 1 meat 3 veg option. Decent size containers for less than $15...

Wow what terrible experience!

Food was dry, cold and overcooked and it was the worst experience ever. Will not be returning, after speaking to the chef he claimed his food was excellent, but would not try it even though we insisted on him at least tasting what he was serving. Fresh food come out cold and curries were very runny, and the chef claimed that's how Sri Lankan food is! We disagreed as we have Sri Lankan family and have been eating Sri lankan food for many years, so it was very very disappointing. We refused to pay for our meal as it was so bad and all we ended up eating was rice, which I will say was tasty. The pork dish that we tried but couldn't eat was pork belly which the girl at the front counter had told us had been there since 530pm (the current time was 730) but the chef denied it.

The chef did not seem to think there was a problem with any of the food as he said he it was how Sri Lankan people eat their pork (hard and dry) and he had been cooking it this way for many years.

To conclude, we will not return as the chef yelled at us from one side of the shop to our table after mentioning our disappointment and told us...

unfortunately this is the last time I would order from Spicy Corridor. We placed a curry pack order. we were asked to come on Tuesday (7th Nov) at 7pm. When we came the shop was closed.

We then called on Wednesday and was asked to come pickup on Sunday (12 Nov) at 12pm. We just called to check-in that the order is ready before travelling. The man who answered the phone was extremely rude, unapologetic and said thet the order was not ready and started yelling about not doing orders on Sundays. Eventually, he said I can have it in 15 mnts. (Not sure how you can make 10 curry packs in 15 mnts). He was so rude that my wife was very sad and does not deserve to be disrespected, just because he was having a bad day. (It was a happy Diwali day till we spoke to him and this has been unacceptable). I then called and cancelled the order and spoke to the same rude person. Who pretty much said don't bother coming. Very rude person. (Shameful that he is Sri Lankan - I think the chef)

your service/food has been great, until this experience. Unfortunately, This will be our last order and we wish you all the best of luck. (Learn to...
