'Big Bites' mean full meals; a crispy butter chicken rice bowl with potato bhaji, chickpea rice and cucumber salad, a naan wrap of the same, a chicken tikka masala burger stacked with fried fillets, mint slaw and masala fries, or chicken tikka masala loaded fries.

How was the food?
The chicken samosas were a mixed bag. The filling of mashed veg and cumin was good, and the dipping sauce worked, but they were greasy and not very crisp.
The crispy butter chicken rice bowl was as expected; breadcrumbed chicken with a spicy butter sauce, sticky rice, chickpeas and a fresh minty sauce on top of lettuce. The sauce was good, and the chickpeas and mint gave it a nice lift, though it's more a fast-food version than a proper curry.
The lamb kebab platter came with a kofta-style minced lamb kebab, salad, dressing and masala chips. The chips were salty but a bit limp – fine for soaking up sauce but not much crunch. The loaded naan wrap used the same chicken and salad as the rice bowl, but in a large naan folded over, with plenty to eat. Overall, it is fast food that hits the spot if you want saucy, filling carbs.
