Just wanted to say that everything I have ordered from your restaurant has been amazing! Your food is always so good and it is a great place for good Indian food. The only thing that hasn't happened is making it in time. It's either 30 minutes late or an hour late, but I understand because you deliver locally. The delicious Chicken Curry tasted so good .But I am a bit disappointed with the delivery since we ordered it a day before and it didn't come until 11:30.It would be better if you can deliver the food faster on the next orders. Keep up the good job!
