My only suggestion would be to make less use of chicken breast. There are tastier parts of chicken like chicken thigh and leg. Sauces tend to be too homogenised. Real chicken curry is more fea... See more

Way better than any supermarket offering.

The packaging is innovative and very effective in keeping curries frozen. In the past I have cooked a lot of curries from recipe books and these are just as tasty with a lot less effort.
Any chance of using parts of chicken other than the breast. Even on the bone like the old days of curry houses.

Disappointed today

***Update ,I ve forwarded all details, following your response** look forward to your comments
***update update,prawn curry was much better***

Have to say had quite a few of their curries and liked them ,today tried the fried aubergine and was disappointed,very watery ,hardly any substance to it at all..

I really hope standards aren't slipping,I can remember Mumtaz ones at the beginning being fantastic and then steadily declined in quality.

Hope this was a one off

These meals are very good- a cut above supermarket offerings and close to restaurant standard. Whilst most dishes are well priced one or two seem expensive for what they are. A little more choice would be a great move forward. Meals are always very well packaged and arrive quickly. Recommended.

Delicious authentic curries

Twice now I have ordered from this company and both times I was delighted with the service and produce. The lamb in particular was very tender and delicious.
This is a very trustworthy company and I shall order from them again.

What a find!

I’ve only had two of the six ordered so far but they were fabulous, very tasty and flavoursome. I will definitely be ordering more soon. So useful being able to order meals for one person although they were so generous there was some for the next day.

Great curries

On my second order and very pleased. Very healthy curries and we particularly love the butter chicken, prawn curry and the chicken korma. Will be buying regularly and the delivery by DPD is spot on. Really recommend.

I love these curries

I love these curries,
But I have a rapeseed intolerance -
So until I found Chef Akila's Slow-Cooked Curries was unable to enjoy a curry (for many years)
So thank you Chef Akila.
