Beautifully cooked, very tasty curries. Not had a bad one yet! Rice is tasty & fluffy, no scrimping on meat contents. So worth paying that extra little bit for such good quality food. I love the local... See more

Excellent curries

The curries delivered on time and very good packaging. The food is very good and we have sampled most of the items on the menu. Really good food.

Just like a home made curry.

Just like a home made curry like my mum used to make they're absolutely delicious.
Fast delivery times.
The ones that serve two are not quite enough for two I think the portion size for two are small but otherwise the curries are amazing.

Your taste buds will thank you!

Three things raised my eyebrows in pleased surprise: delivery, flavour and customer service.
1. Delivery - the order arrived promptly and very well packaged. We were in and unpacked them quickly, but I think they'd have been fine for another half-day at need.
2. Flavour - these are eat-at-home to a quality normally requiring a restaurant. The restaurant experience is its own pleasure but if you're stuck at home and love Indian food, Chef Akila is your friend.
3. Service - there was a problem with our order. I hate reporting issues but this was something I thought they'd want to investigate. I got a swift reply from a real human (or the best bot I've yet encountered!) and the problem was fixed.

They tend to be spicy-hot, but easily adjusted with a dollop of yogurt &/or some coconut milk. Free delivery requires a large order (and, therefore, a large freezer space) - but find a pal or two and order together. Your taste buds will thank you ;)

Mothers Day Present

Delivery was bang on time. Mum loved the meals. E mailed constructive comment regarding the dry ice, commented that maybe a warning to use gloves is put on outside of box. Am looking forward to placing another order for her and one for me.
