La Surma delivery

[Nelson]

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 can second Spice Republic delicious food and excellent service, just love how they label each dish. Best Indian takeaway I've had.

No way! I've only ordered from Spice Republic once, and that was enough. Really poor Indian cooking.

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.

I am firmly in the Spice Republic camp. Was Surma all the way for a long time then tried Spice Republic one day... no comparison

Am recent convert to Omrith - good food and large portions and the spinach appears to be fresh :)

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?

[reetpetite]

Silverfox I'm not that stupid. The food is in containers ,in bags, which have the labels on ,you cant see whats in them til you open the bags! Good idea if there are a lot of you easy to distribute ! And I dont wear wellies btw.....

[silverfox]

Now makes perfect sense thanks reetpetite. I had a dreadful vision of naan bread-sized luggage tags hanging off your madras and sag aloo.

Ps, I've got two Ls going spare if they're any use to you

Giggle...
