"(Delivery) Considering the high rating on Tripadvisor and the reviews of the place we were ready to give Kali Mirchi a go. After quotes of Best Indian and So much flavour being thrown around, we were anticipating a much needed curry. After placing the order and being told it would be 40 minutes, we waited an hour before we called to be told it had just left and would be with us any minute. It came to £19.20 so I gave the driver £20 and was told he had no change! Biting my lip to the sofa we dug in to our starters. The Onion Bhajis were more gram flour than onion and for such a cheap dish to make was surprising. I could taste the old oil which isn 't always a bad thing if it wasn 't for there being too much flour to soak it up. Oily onion bhajis seen to, mains were a go. I love my naan bread and wasn 't all that impressed with the one I had infront of me, the bright red keema filling had all dropped to one side and it was very thin. The pilau rice was nice though, I think they had added a touch of saffron. The Chicken Tikka Masala was average at best and tasted alot like cheese. Not how I would expect, it was also luke warm but did have good chunks of chicken. The lamb jalfrezi was overly spiced and had more than enough green chillies but abit too much oil. Unfortunalty we didnt feel Kali Mirchi had lived up to its reputation and I am a firm believer that food should be a similar standard when delivered, if this is the standard in restaurant then I would be very disappointed to have made the journey. Summary Nothing special, average experience for a takeaway, good portions of meat, but bad balance of spice and flavour. Check your change and order well in advance!"

"Well, first of all...the gentle man with bald headed seems like he has no clue what he wants to do. On a Saturday evening, thought it would be busy but it was literally just us. This guy seemed no interest in taking order,not even a glass of water was served..bald headed guy was in his phone.. Food We order couple of dishes from starters to main... ordered chicken pakora which seems to bit old. It's had some sort of smell. Fish pakora that smelled really bad with no taste, had to keep them aside. Chicke tikka...would say not too bad,but could have been cooked a bit more. Main Butter chicken, Bhuna, South Indian. Would not blame the efforts that has put on. Would not say this was best but edible. Asked for couple of chapatis extra, here come bald headed guy..he wasn't really happy when we asked for. Initially we order 6 and then 2 extra.. surprisingly chapatis where on tables within seconds. We asked for some extra rice which was served really really Scottish cold. Even after ages siting here water still not served. I believe that is something to be given to everyone even if someone don't ask for it. BASICS. We could see this guy drinking beer form them bar. Well that defines he might be owner. He could have waited us to leave and could have enjoyed his chilled beer. BASIC MANNERS. Check seemed fishy. Over priced. Almost 5£. We did check with him he said it's the new prices. Which was not so clear, cos menu shows a different prices. We don't mind tipping someone for a good food/service. Unfortunately they had non of it. ASIAN BEWARE, YOU MIGHT GET SCAMMED HERE."
