Review of Bombay Bicycle Club

Currying favour 
It's popularity as a takeaway is well deserved. The ingredients are fresh (try the Chicken Jalfrezi), dishes not cloying as others can be, the menu varied, the food is blessedly free of grease and has a deserved reputation as one of the best curry houses in SW London.
Delivery is quick and the food invariably still hot. Free poppadoms too. ;-)
My only complaint is that sometimes it can be difficult to get through on the telephone - a testament to its popularity, I suppose. Try ordering on-line instead. It saves a bit of frustration.
That's all that needs to be said really. One of the best.

Review of Deliverance

Deliver us from tempation 
The concept: Any type of takeaway you want from one delivery service. Chinese, European, Italian, Thai etc etc. You won't tolerate your traditional crap local take away once you've seen the quality of food that these people produce. They have the most popular dishes from most regions. The menu is more of a booklet - 9 pages. But easy to use though?
It is expensive though compared to the more local ones that you may be used to and the eco-friendly among you may object to their enthusiastic use of plastic packaging. According to their gblurb they have been described by Timeout / Standard as "one of the best reasons to move to London."
Twat reviewers asides, though, the food is excellent but the trade off is that you'll pay a bit more than your high street outfit.
It does take quite a bit of time though. On average between 45 mins to over an hour. Their coverage of London is divided by having kitchens in different areas. Make sure you call the right one....
Never quite sure whether to tip the drivers or not. They never seem to expect it.
