Items missing on my order, when I call in to challenge them the man on the phone is telling me it was in there as he packed it himself! So I'm lying for I think 2.45. Besides that these curry dishes must of contained a glass of water each. Absolutely disgusting. Never used to be a bad place they must be struggling now. Dive!

We tried a variety of starters, grilled meats, and curries. It was all mild in chilli and spice, the lamb chops were tasty but chewy, and it was all a bit sweet. The bondas were the best bit for us.

Thank you everyone at Muri for a fantastic and very tasty takeaway last night. The food was delicious. One of our group is vegan and their food was amazing. Thank you for all you and other restaurants are doing in the current situation.
