secretlondon ordered through Just Eat one Saturday night. The restaurant lost my flat number (it is in my Just Eat profile) and had a go at me for not giving a full address. Thankfully they rang me but -1 for customer service.

I ordered Fish Amritsai (£3.95) photo, Safa Platter (£8.50) photo, Paneer Kofta (£2.95) and Mango and Lime ice cream (£2.75). The platter is described as "tandoori chicken, seekh kebab, lamb chop and salmon tikka, served with a naan bread". I got tandoori chicken, kebab, salmon tikka and chicken tikka with a naan bread, mint sauce and a small salad. Apart from the missing lamb chop it was fine.

The fish amritsai wasn't as exciting as it sounded. I couldn't taste the aniseed. The paneer kofta (as a side dish) was two small vegetable balls whose taste was masked by swimming in lots of yoghurt sauce. I couldn't tell if there was any cheese in the balls.

The ice cream was described as "Smooth and creamy, this ice cream is best eaten with a large spoon". It didn't state a size and was only 100ml. You'd struggle to get a large spoon in there!
