    1st class

    Retried, for the first time, a selection of Chef Akila's meals. Every selection was perfect. Way and above carryouts, we thought were good. We'll be ordering from them again soon. Thank you

    Can’t get over how GOOD these curries are!

    These curries are INCREDIBLE. I’ve been keto for cancer for over 2 years and it’s wonderful to have access to something pre-made and delicious. My mom recently visited from the US and we had a curry night. It took all the work out for me. We have a tiny fridge/freezer and so the only drawback is the minimum order (although I completely understand why Chef Akila needs to do it). If I could order fewer of them, I’d do a weekly or biweekly subscription!
