I ordered on DoorDash yesterday morning & the beef patties were so good that I decided to order 2 more & a couple of chicken patties. BIG MISTAKE. I gave my son what I thought was the chicken patty & ha ran to me gagging. It was not a curry chicken patty but a patty full of SOUR spinach. It smelled AWFUL once opened. The next patty was indeed curry however there was no chicken, just mixed vegetables. At this point my son no longer had an appetite at all. So I decide to check the beef patties. One is a chicken patty & it is hard as stone. The other a beef patty but also extremely hard but when FINALLY broken open it was so rotten & smelly. DoorDash did not compensate because I received all four patties, even though they were incorrect and expired. I called the restaurant and they didn’t answer at all, so I got dressed and went down there, but they were closed and at this point I’m just gonna have to take the Loss because as per the social media reviews of how they handle Customer concerns I can tell they’re not going to accommodate me. Lesson learned and I will not be ordering from here again. Food: 1 Service: 1

Response from the owner 5 months ago

I am sorry that this was your experience that is not what we want as a business or you as a customer. The DoorDash issue has now been brought to my attention and I will give you a full refund if you come in I will instruct the worker to compensate you. By your own review you had the food before and it was good and this is now a consistency issue . Allow us the opportunity to rectify the issue. As this is not the best representation . It was likelyly a mix up from the kitchen. Not something we would intentionally serve. Come get a refund and some items on us I wish this was escalated to me the owner faster
