Standards Dropped
The reviewer, Jamie White, was disappointed with their recent order and felt that the curry house had dropped its standards. They ordered a chicken vindaloo and were appalled to find it was bulked up with potatoes rather than the expected few bits.
Consistency and Quality
On the other hand, many reviewers praised the curry house for its consistency and quality. They remarked on the fantastic food, excellent value, and loads of delicious food for the price.
Disappointments
However, some reviewers had disappointing experiences. One reviewer, Anthony Shores, mentioned that they had a great takeaway, but one reviewer, Laurie-Ann Morgan-Lappage, had a terrible experience with slow service and no communication regarding the delay.
Hygiene Concerns
Another reviewer, Sorcha Taylor, found a long black hair in their curry and reported that the staff refused to replace the dish or offer a refund.
