I received a menu through my door so thought would give a try as had 5* Food Hygiene rating! Which I now see on the food standards website will be updated soon following being inspected again recently! I feel it will be much lower!
Anyway, I ordered Chicken Korma (which is listed as a House Recommendation), Keema Biryani and 2 keema Naan for my son and I as he doesn't like too much spice. I called them directly to place the order as just eat adds a 50 pence service charge and the man was friendly despite communication being a struggle. I was told 40 to 50 minutes for delivery.
After an hour and 20 minutes I had to call again to be told the food was on the way and added that he had included a popadom for the wait. Which generally get included when ordering Indian take away anyway. 10 minutes later the food arrived when I could have drove the the place myself in just 3 or 4 minutes.
I am charged £17.75 which is the same as on Just eat with the 50 pence service charge incluced.
The portions are good and sadly that is the last good thing I can say about the food! In fact lots of food we don't want to eat as everything has a funny taste which reminds me of them using used oil that has been used already for deep frying! Even the 3 popadom's had this same nasty flavour and even 1 of them had not expanded fully in the centre and was still hard! So it seems they can not even cook a popadom correctly!
The Chicken Korma was some cooked chicken breast that had no flavour other than chicken that had been put into sauce just before delivery! The sauce was way to sweet, far to over powered by coconut and didn't seem to contain any cream at all.
The Keema biryani was shocking! The rice was far too oily with that same funny taste yet also watery from the water used to cook the rice before frying with items to make the biryani. But contained plenty of minced beef not lamb! But the vegetable curry that ca,e with it was the worst as was just some frozen veg, over cooked potato in a very bad sauce!
The Naan were just not right at all! The keema inside was funny in taste and the bread flat and lifeless! Nothing like what Naan bread should be!
Over all this was by far the worst delivered meal I have had in a long time and can safely say I will never return my custom again! The Jasime on the Green way way better!!!!!!!!!!

The chicken quality could be better the supplier is either doing them over or they just buying cheap broiler meat .shame cos the food can be excellent

Foods good. Service is a bit rough and consistency is a issue

First time using the Sundarbon and I have to say, absolutely excellent food, we had chicken madras and a chicken korma, popadoms and chapati's. Thankyou gentlemen for a lovely meal, first class food.

Positives- poppadoms were crispy and the mango sauce was really nice.
The Delivery was fairly quick and it was hot.
Negatives- Chicken Madras was quite tasteless lacked salt and I've had hotter supermarket packet curries than this.
The chesse & garlic nan tasted like a plain nan lacked any flavour and had a weird taste to it.
My partners chicken Pakora's were drier than the Sahara desert, they were very hard to swallow and she doesn't normally have any problems swallowing if you know what I mean 😉.
Overall I won't be going back and don't recommend tbh.

Delivered on time and hot. Spat more chicken tikka out than I swallowed. Chewy horrible meat. Balti just tasted of lemon and salt. Sheek kebab was terrible under cooked looked pale and just tasted hot no actual real taste to it. Naan bread wasn't great. Mint sauce had no taste whatsoever very watery. Rice was fine, chips were fine. Disappointed was recommended by a friend will never use again. Put more food in the bin than ate.
