We love Chef Akilas curry’s .

We love Chef Akilas curry’s and accompaniments , I bought the meat curry box first and was so impressed and it’s snowballed from there , we love the rice dishes and there is ample in each one for 2 people , for a family birthday I bought the Lamb party size curry and the party lemon rice also a couple of the fish curry sauce and made up my own fish mix , added a few bits like breads and chutneys and wow it was such a hit clean plates all round ( :( shame I was hoping for leftovers ) , the price is such good value so much cheaper than a takeaway and 100% healthier , and just as quick most items are ready to eat in 10 mins so quicker than a delivery , and from ordering to delivery can be as quick as 24hrs , it arrives frozen solid and really well packed , I don’t have a single negative we have had dozens of different item from the very varied menu and it has all been delicious .

Not interested in the customers wishes

It would appear from my conversations with you that you have no facility whatsoever to accommodate your customers requests, A simple thing like, could you make a certain meal not so hot, and the answer is clearly no, this is how it's mass produced and we can't change it, if you don't like it go somewhere else. Well I did.

Hmmm, you see, I would say when you are cooking for others, what the customers want's to eat is quite important, would it not be sensible to have a range of mild medium and hot for customers to choose from, I have never had Butter chicken as hot as you made it. The attitude of we do it this way take it or leave it is poor customer service, and your reply clearly shows I am talking to myself.

Reply from Chef Akila’s Slow-Cooked Curries

Sorry to see this review. You contacted us saying that you enjoyed the Chicken Korma and wanted us to make the Butter Chicken mild for you. We politely explained that we cook in small batches, each meal has nutrition analysis, lab test, nutrition value etc and therefore we can’t modify recipes for individual orders.
We are a small kitchen with limited resource, so we can’t take customisation requests for one item. It is unfortunate that you feel that you need to give one star for this.

I love these curries

I love these curries! They are delicious! They arrive very quickly (you can choose the date) and are frozen and very well packaged. I have ordered from them several times and will continue to do so. Excellent product and service!

Better than a takeaway

Better than a takeaway. I’ve bought batches a couple of times now & had the family round. We all agreed that we had never tasted curries like them. They are creamy and full of flavour with the meat in the dishes being super tender. So easy to re-heat, microwave for a couple or oven if feeding many. So lovely to banquet it & get to try lots of flavours. Forgot to mention the rice which is glorious. This is our takeaway of the future.

Sauces tend to be too homogenised. Real chicken curry is more featureful.

Delivery is first rate.
