Another highlight is the chicken off the bone curry, a unique addition that has won the hearts of many.

Most Disliked
Though food quality remains high, some visitors have noted that the cash-only policy can be inconvenient. Expecting to use cards means a last-minute trip to the ATM for some. This also may discourage potential customers who prefer cashless transactions.
A few reviewers mentioned that during peak hours, the wait time can be a bit longer. If you're in a hurry, plan accordingly, especially during lunch and dinner times. Some customers have expressed a desire for more vegetarian options, although the existing menu features solid dishes that appeal to a broad audience. Lastly, while the seating is adequate, it might feel a bit cramped during busy hours, impacting the overall dining experience.

Was looking for a quick bite as I’m working. Google chips shops in the area and this came up, so glad it did. Beautiful crispy and not greasy chips and the Chinese curry is spot on. Back in the area next weekend so I’ll see you again
