Ordered chicken curry. Very small portions with 3-4 small chicken pieces and the bread we ordered was stale. We didn’t want to make a big deal as there were other guests dining.
Before we left we provided some feedback to the owner and she was quite defensive about the situation. She tried explaining that the bowls were bigger which made the food portion look much smaller.

Most of the items...
