We've been having the chicken balti that is frozen for many years and always enjoyed it. Recently the recipe seems to have changed and the taste. Please believe me , I'm not moaning at the quality of the food because it's always been to a great standard but when its been a mild chicken balti for as long as I can remember and now the flavour, texture and heat has changed I just can't eat it. It's a shame this has happened and I'm pretty sure that there are other people out there who think the same. Even though we will not be buying it again, due to the situation we are in , meaning crazy times

Restaurant quality, just cheaper and delivered to your door. Always taste amazing, yes sometimes you get a little less chicken and sometimes you get more. I love the chicken madras, if you like it a bit more spicy add a teaspoon of Kashmir Basaar mix spice.

Me and my wife have always been a fan of Mister Daves curries. The other days we were talking about them on how we missed them now that we had moved out of the area. When I was browsing the Internet on my phone I googled it and discovered that they had a website and ordered 4 portions to be delivered. Highly recommended
