The worst curry I've had so far. All curries have the same red sauce but with different meat. This is not curry!

Ordered delivery. Was told 45mins to 1 hour. Food finally arrived after 1 1/2 hours. Sadly food was not in the best quality as it was cold.
Shame as the food has been good in the past. I always ask delivery time so I then have a choice to order unfortunately this time it did not come good for me.
