    In for a penny....

    Well, you tempted me.
    It's a big claim though, As good as the restaurants back home.
    1 pattia (my favourite), 1 Tikka massala (Britain's favourite) and 1 Phal.
    I've been a curry fan for 30 years and never done a Phal.I reckon I'm grown up enough now to give it a shot.Or maybe I'm not.Maybe it will all end in tears.
    Let you know how it all goes, assuming that they all get through the over officious Customs.

    P.S I got these on a 3 for 2 offer so even better.

    They deliver worldwide.was 5 quid flat rate to Aus.I paid $22 for the lot incl. postage through PayPal, although you can pay by CC.Sounds a bit pricey, but each curry pack's supposed to feed 8 people so if that's the case it'll be worth it.And if it tastes as authentic as they say, well...............

    Not forgotten

    I received the goods after a couple of weeks.
    Unfortunately, because I've been working away a lot, I haven't had a chance to use any of them yet.
    When i do, will post the results.

    Ok then.Cooked the chicken Pattia.Verdict.pretty damned good.
    Possibly not as good as the pattia I used to get back home, but certainly close and certainly better than anything i've tried to cook from locally bought spices/sauces etc.You have to add a few ingredients to the curry spices, but if you're a regular curry eater they're probably ingredients you'll have to hand anyway.
    I've got 2 more to try, but i reckon if they're as good as the first one, I'll be buying more.
    Well recommended.

    Cooked the other 2 curies and they were belters also.
    I was inspired to order another batch, but unfortunately they haven't arrived.As it's been a couple of months now I'm resigned to not receiving them.Despite numerous attempts to communicate with Marty Lee, I have not received a response.Very disappointing.Therefore I will have to withdraw my recommendation to purchase from this company.Nothing wrong with the product, but if the product doesn't turn up..................... never mind the poor after sales service.

    Everyone please note what Strongbow said in the last message!

    Glad you updated this thread to let everyone else know how things worked out, Strongbow.
    It's a pity that the whole experience was ruined for you. Seems there are still way too many internet scammers out there that are prepared to take people's money and run.

    All the best
