Rebecca Outstanding flavour.
Kat Very much nicer than the other two. There is more spice and I can taste more of the butter.
Nomvuyiso This curry smells just proper. It is spicy. It looks better, the sauce is good and there are more pieces of chicken.
David Chicken pieces are uniform in size and wellcooked. Nice fruity taste.

Lindiwe This butter chicken has the best rice. Donovan There’s no chilli and too mild, although good chicken-to-sauce ratio. Tracy The two samples on my table were completely different. Thabisile There is inconsistency between the two samples. Some chicken pieces are chewy, others are perfectly cooked. The theme is inconsistency.

Kat I would buy this as a chicken casserole. Rice was nice and fluffy. Donovan Good flavour but too sweet and not enough of a curry bite. Ballin The sauce is somewhat gelatinous. Phindile The sauce is too thick and a lot of tomato spoils it. Thabisile It looks like soup. Too little chicken versus sauce and rice.
