    Delivered

    Delivered on time, well insulated, well packed, clearly labelled. Two tried so far, one really pretty good, one delicious.

    Tried out the products with a trial order. Were the dishes as good as they claim?

    Short answer YES. From acknowledgement to delivery that was excellent, but of far more significance were the flavours and textures. Their Dahl (tried two types) was really good . Sounds a bit corny, but I will -and can afford- to place a significant re-order and hold it in our freezer to be added to our own rice etc as appropriate.
