Menu

The place from Edinburgh offers 127 different dishes and drinks on the menu for an average price of £4.

The overall reviews for the restaurant are quite mixed. While some customers have complained about the poor quality of the food, long wait times, and unsatisfactory customer service, others have raved about the delicious curry dishes they have tried. It seems like there may have been a recent decline in the quality of the food, with some customers feeling disappointed with their orders. However, there are still loyal customers who appreciate the great flavors and reasonable prices offered by the restaurant. Ultimately, it seems like a hit or miss experience, with some customers willing to give it another try while others vow never to return.

Awful customer service, sat waiting for my collection which took over 30 mins. No greeting by staff upon entry. No staff members in the waiting area- had a feeling of a seedy motel reception area. Received 3 curries. All of which were were disgusting (and I've never expressed myself in such a way about a curry). The sauce was lumpy, old tasting and definitely not fresh. The meat was hard, again frozen feel. Just shocking. I spent 20 pounds on my meal and I had to throw two of the curries in the bin as I dont have time to be sick or ill. No pride whatsoever in the food, no quality control. Disgusting. I regret not taking a picture.

I ordered a Methi Gosht from this takeaway and I really have never tasted anything so disgusting in my life. If you can imagine a grey watery pool of yuk with lamb that had huge veins that you could drive a car through. Not a sniff of fenugreek anywhere. It was just inedible. It tasted like an awful stew that had been stewed for about a week. I have used this place before and never really had a problem as the food is just mediocre. My garlic naan was a plain naan. Most methi goshts are fragrant with fenugreek and other spices but this was just “lamb” and grey water. Never again. They really were taking the Michael.

Appalled. Ordered online, and order was accepted and acknowledged. Waited over an hour for delivery and then the order was cancelled. Dreadful service would never use again nor recommend.
