Cons:
"Cheap, but cheap for a reason, never again."
"Chicken was flavorless and naan was cold."
"Very poor standard of food. We ordered a mixed grill and it had a ton of bright red food colouring on it and no seasoning whatsoever."
"The Rogan Josh was grey, it looked vile, the rice awful, chutneys were runny more of a liquid and onion bhajis were flavourless."
"The portions were tiny! Compared to the competitors (who are cheaper btw), we would get double portions for smaller price."
"The lamb was inedible and really chewy and tough, the chicken was overcooked and the whole dish was incredibly salty."
"The chilli paneer is honestly the worst I have ever experienced in many years of ordering the dish from curry houses."
