Delicious food but portions a bit too small

Everything I have bought has been absolutely delicious! It is so tasty that I haven’t even had to add salt which I normally smother everything with. The only reason I have dropped a star is because of the portion size. A meal for two really isn’t enough for two in my opinion, it’s also a bit too much for one (I tried!) If you look at the calorie count it doesn’t work out as very high at all for one meal and I was still hungry and ended up snacking afterwards. It’s a shame because if the portion sizes were just a bit bigger I would be buying these every few weeks. 5 stars for the quality of the food though!

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.
