I had to deduct 2 stars because their food, although tasty is swimming in oil. I’ve asked, please drain off the oil, but it still arrives with 1/2 a mug of oil sitting on top, which I have to drain and it’s disgusting. As an Asian I know you can cook Indian food healthily, which uses a minimum amount of oil that doesn’t sit on top of the food. 1/2 a cup of oil in one of those plastic take away boxes is a hell of a lot of oil. In fact the food can actually do backstroke in there, which is ridiculous! When you ask to reduce the oil and they literally ignore you = bad service. Even if the oil is drained and the food is tasty, it’s still a bad experience and is off putting. Even the veg is saturated in oil which is gross. They need to get their cook some lessons in cooking Indian food the healthy way. In fact Madhur Jaffrey published a cook book on the subject so there’s no excuse, apart from them being from P-stsaan and refusing to admit that their food is actually Indian. Some of them be like that...
Read moreAs a man who enjoys Indian food, upon finding this shop whilst walking down the road; I thought nothing of it, simply due to the wider range of choices in the area. However, upon deciding to finally visit one day and buying a succulent chicken curry, in which they heated in the store, I was simply mind blown. Never have I tasted a curry so good, the sweet sensation in my mouth was needless to say.. orgasmic. I hadn't expected this. To believe I would visit Maharani, just down the road and buy their food for over £10 when I could be getting much better for a much lower price. The staff are excellent despite seeming very tribal - but then again they are Indians. The shop doesn't look too good, but then again I suppose in India, the shops aren't too fancy either. But at the end of the day, only the food matters, and the food is superb. Thank you my...
Read moreI just received three trays of rice with 'curry flavouring' from these guys. This was the first takeaway I have ordered since lockdown began and I got the impression that the curry was waiting just as long. Cold, stodgy and only kept technically edible by virtue of being embalmed in sugar, it took a while to realise the poppadoms weren't actually part of the bag they came in. The bhaji looked like they had only had past life experiences of being anywhere near an onion and the mint yoghurt sauce tasted like something that had been scraped from the back of a radiator in an abandoned soviet-era missile silo, but with more lemon.
Now, I don't expect to get restaurant quality food via deliveroo but when you pay not insignificant sums of money you'd like to be met halfway for your trouble....
