Bec ordered a selection of sundries and side dishes in June 2012.
The garlic rice (£2.50) was extremely impressive, with browned slices of fresh garlic throughout, perfectly cooked and giving it smoked flavour. Chilli cheese naan (£1.80) was also a fantastic choice — not too oily, lots of chilli flakes, and just the right amount of cheese.
A starter of dal soup (£2) was a thick consistency, much like most restaurants' tarka dal, but without onions. This went perfectly with the garlic rice. Sag paneer (£3.25) was creamy but not overly sweet, with big chunks of cheese. Mixed vegetable curry (£2.75) was far too oily and a bit bland and disappointing considering the high bar everything else set.
Bec's verdict: I would definitely order again. The delivery was fast and the food filling and cheap. I really do recommend the sundries.
