He should get a reward for his good customer service. And food is always amazing as usual. Thanks to the chef 👨‍🍳 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow first time going as my colleges wanted me to try before they did. I went at lunch by myself.
It’s honestly the best chicken tikka I have had in my life. Lunch combo.
I upgraded plain naan to cheese garlic.
Only gripe and what shouldn’t happen is
The combo or curry rice and naan is $16.99 I upgraded a normal naan to garlic cheese and was charged $7 ontop instead of the difference between plain naan and garlic cheese.
Portions are very small and wouldn’t fill a male.
The curry I could hear cooking fresh
Was thick had veg and 5 bits of chicken rice needed to be double.
amazing flavour but I would question upgrades pricing and men not filling enough.
Would love to also buy samosas but they don’t do them☹️
Shame as we are local workers and would get more lunches with more rice and not charged full price for an upgrade instead of the difference.
Hoping to hear back this will be changed
