Tonight we placed an order with them for a curry. We were very disappointed after receiving the order to find that there were things missing. We then phoned them back only to be ask about the missing items, a curry and a bread. We were then told we didnt order the extra curry and bread.

But after finally saying that they would redeliver the order they also said they would and charge us for the effort and their mistakes.

One hour later the missing items appeared at our door and had gone up by twice the amount. The delivery man said the owner was taking the orders and was the unhelpful person who said he would charge the extra and take back the curry that they wrongfully delivered.

Very disappointed with them as we having being using this curry house for over four years. To top things off the curry was oily and not that great.

I would now say to think twice before using them as they clearly do not value the locals custom.

I presume you mean Surma House on Lordship Lane? I've had problems with their deliveries but they have been prompt with correct order when called. However I would add that I think the quality of food has gone down recently. Like the OP, we have used them for years to the point that when I give my order he tells me my address! I wonder if they've got a new chef? Tempted to use another Curry House.

Yes - we have stopped using them, their quality has gone significantly downhill.

This just means they have the incoming call number linked to their address database.

Your culinary contribution worries me - if you need labels you don't know what your eating. Do your wellies have a L and R on them and are they on the correct feet?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
