The lamb curry was fine and the paratha okay. The bangla salad was just tomato, cucumber and coriander, not the "mixed salad dressed with mustard oil, fresh chilli, coriander and lime juice" that was advertised. I couldn't taste any chilli and it was generally disappointing.

[[secretlondon]]'s verdict: My general perception is that it is overpriced for what it is. They charge premium curry prices for a takeaway, but don't deliver a premium product.

It arrived within the time and with two poppodoms, one of which was burnt. The chicken momo wasn't what I was expecting. Momo are Tibetan dumplings. This was one long stuffed chapatti with a seasoned chicken filling. It was okay but wasn't momos.

The lamb curry was fine and the paratha okay. The bangla salad was just tomato, cucumber and coriander, not the "mixed salad dressed with mustard oil, fresh chilli, coriander and lime juice". I couldn't taste any chilli and it was generally disappointing.

My general perception is that it is over priced for what it is. They charge premium curry prices for a takeaway but don't deliver a premium product.
