    A good alternative to the local takeaway

    Orders arrive on time. Food is well presented and easy to prepare.
    Only issue I have had with last couple of trays have not been sealed properly at the corners and food had slight "freezer burn". Cetainly would not stop me ordering again.

    EXCELLENT Quality

    First time buying from Chef Akila online after reading some reviews not disappointed. The meals i bought were excellent quality and good portions with fast delivery. Royal Lamb Biryani was delicious the lamb just melts in your mouth (recommended). Will definitely buy again soon. Much better than your local Indian Takeaway.
