We requested one full serving of curry chicken with extra curry sauce. What we received was nothing short of disappointing. The rice was dried out and scant, the chicken was also overcooked, and there was barely any sauce—definitely not the extra sauce we paid for. We used to enjoy this dish regularly, as it was one of our favorites, but lately, it has been consistently bad. The service was poor, and the food was worse. If I could give this place zero stars, I would.

It was dried pices of fried chicken on top of plain rice with a very thick brown gravy.... read more Very friendly staff I ordered curry chicken. That was not curry at all! It was dried pices of fried chicken on top of plain rice with a very thick brown gravy. No spices at all. Very disappointing.
