Extremely poorly packaged order

Ordered in excess of £50, products despatched later than expected though I was informed of the delay. However, when the goods arrived they were not fit to be consumed. All trays had been packed in the same foil bag as the ice packs. These had melted in transit and I was left with a soggy, watery curry soup in the bottom. Nothing salvageable.

Absolutely love shicken foods. Their curries rival the takeaways I used to have before I was vegan. Since becoming vegan, they are the most flavoursome curries out there! The shicken is so tasty with good texture! The customer service is excellent and seem so friendly! 5*!

Shicken tikka kebabs

Had the Shicken tikka kebabs and as someone who is trying to give up eating meat and struggles to find plant based alternatives, I absolutely loved them. Texture just like the real thing and tasted great. More products like this will make it easy to switch away from a meat diet. Thank you Shicken!

I offered services to this company that were never paid. This company is a fraud, it has no sales.
The products are just some cheap soy chicken with cheap sauce and no veggies. You can get something better from a cheap takeaway.

Just received my first order and am delighted with it. The Shicken tikka masala with rice and naan breads was absolutely delicious. Tasty and satisfying. Delivered in eco friendly boxes. Will be buying this regularly and recommending to friends

Best vegan curry we've ever had

Best vegan curry we've ever had. You'd be hard pressed to tell it's not real chicken..no death and destruction..but all the protein and deliciousness. Sauces amazing. Arrived promptly too. Brilliant! 😜🤗🌱

Delicious curries

Delicious curries. The shicken is something else. A lot of meat alternatives are either rubbery, or they have very little substance. Not this one, the texture is perfect, and the sauces are rich and flavourful.

Would buy again.

Absolutely delicious

Absolutely delicious. The curry sauces were rich and tasty, and the shicken has such a brilliant texture and flavour. The portion size is good too. The rice and naan bread were great too

Delicious meal

These meals were absolutely delicious, perfect level of spice and the flavour was amazing -just like a takeaway if not better! The fake chicken was tasty and realistic too. I would definitely get again however my only qualm is that they are the same price as a takeaway (around £7 for a curry, £3 for rice etc) and you get quite a bit less than you would in a traditional takeaway. That being said, you’re supporting a small business and are guaranteed a really easy and tasty meal!!

Great taste and sustainability, small portions!

I love that these are vegan curries that are not just a load of frozen veg. The sauces taste great, and the texture and taste of the faux chicken are really good. Since going plastic free my takeaway options have been few so this was extremely welcome - amazing to be able to get naan bread with no plastic for example. The veggie pakoras and samosas were disappointing though. On receipt you store everything in the freezer and need to defrost overnight before heating. This does mean having to plan ahead which is not my forte! However the portion size needs to be described differently. To say each curry serves two is laughable, they are on the small size for one and each contains only seven pieces of fake meat. This means they are less of a bargain than they seem. Overall, I love the taste and the sustainable packaging, all went smoothly with ordering and delivery and hope the venture continues. Just say serves one and put more 'chicken' in!

The food is absolutely incredible.
Every meal is a large portion, and tastes really fresh and full of flavours.

Also, the food containers are biodegradable which is a big bonus.

The service is excellent, with very fast easy delivery.
Plus they often have great promotions, which makes bulk buying even more useful.

The food is lovely

The food is lovely, comes all in nice easy to use packaging.

I've tried 3 of their dishes and I can't believe it's not meat the sauce is thick and creamy full of flavour.

Measley Shicken portion

Ordered £41 worth of Chicken meals so did not get any discount as advertised because you have to spend £50. £50 for an unknown product is a lot. The food was very tasty, some of the best I've had in the frozen meal range but 6-7 pieces of Shicken in a meal designed to feed 2 is just not on. Will not be buying again which is a shame.
