    Taste Test

    We bought one pack just to check the quality and taste.

    I’m happy to report that the quality and tsste were perfect. We’ve now placed a bigger order and will be recommending it to our friends which is something we don’t normally do.

    Butter chicken and lamb qeema were excellent I would give 4/5 stars but the village chicken was not good at all, the chicken pieces were large cubes, seemed under cooked and it was not tasty. Disappointed.
    That is why I have given 3 stars.
