Made Rustic Rogan Josh for the first time tonite, it is so delicious, and so quick to prepare, enjoyed the lovely flavors, but I did add 500g beef strips. Will definitely try the other delicious flavors.

Purchased my first kit yesterday evening (Saturday) from Tesco £3.95 Spicy Bengali Jalfrezi. Easily prepared with chicken in about 20-25 minutes. Compares favourably with a restaurant purchased meal - probably better than average. Lovely consistency, flavour and spice. One has to add a small amount of chopped tomatoes, onions and red pepper to complete. Serves 3 so works out at about £3.00 per serving each (with plenty of fresh chicken). It was a good experience so will be buying again.

I've used a few of their kits and just done the Malaysian Laksa. It's tasty but for the price you'd probably get something just as good using a jar of sauce for less than half the price. Needs to introduce more real spices other than a dried chilli and two lime leaves, which just seems a token effort.

Love the lentil dahl and have tried several other curries all of which have been delicious. I always have 1 or 2 packets in the pantry on standby as I prepare 1 every week.
I especially appreciate the quality of the ingredients

Rank! Bought thai green and some other flavour. We shopped at Waitrose and usually buy Blue Dragon. However, clearly some deal had been struck with the Spice Tailor and Waitrose as they no longer sell the Blue Dragon versions.

So, thinking it would be ok we tried this brand. Both were like mush, no liquid, poor quality coconut and the other curry we cooked was bitter and thick so the ingredients struggled to cook properly.

Hideous stodge that I will never buy again.

I am now going to buy the Blue Dragon versions as their produce is far superior.

Okay my bad I didn’t check for gluten as just about all of these products don’t contain it! Will not use this product again and will instead use competitor’s products. Talk about ‘no nasties’ go figure!

Taste OK but why suggest 250gm meat/chicken. Chicken is packaged in 400gm minimum. 250gm wouldn’t be enough for 3 people.

I was frustrated at first and rated this 2 stars. But have updated to a cautious 4.

Who puts the instructions on the inside of the packaging so that you can’t read them until you get home and open it? And then requires the use of a MORTAR AND PESTLE.
I bought the “Fiery Goan” for a reason and found out that you had to grind the whole cloves, curry leaves and a whole chilli, or find a way to pick them out after simmering. So I went ahead without them but wasn’t happy.
If I wanted to be grinding spices with a mortar and pestle I wouldn’t be buying a quick and easy weeknight meal kit, now would I?
Update: it was delicious even without the spices, just the base and sauce. On night 2 for leftovers, I did grind the spices on a cutting board with the back of a spoon and yes - got the heat I was looking for and flavours even more complex and amazing.
I would just recommend that this product comes with spices already ground, OR info on the outside explaining before you buy that extra steps (and equipment) are necessary. But if you have time to fuss a little, I now recommend this.

Tried the Goa fierce curry
Nothing fierce about this curry very tomato flavour
I. Think that you should go to Goa and try it there I have and is nothing like yours
Not I will not recommend or buying again

Pleasantly surprised. I love Indian cuisine but have zero clue how to mix spices for the dishes. I loved the butter chicken and will be trying the others.

I've tried the Goan Spicy curry and the Jalfrezi. Both absolutely sublime..you can of course spice them up by adding a scotch bonnet and I'd recommend adding double the amount of peppers and onions as the standard portion is only enough for 2 meals. They are seriously on a par with a takeaway...very highly recommended.

I had the bengali coconut lentil daal.I cooked the dpices as asked then added the daal and simmered till heated.Sadly the split peas they seem too big for lentils are not cooked tried to cook a littld more but gave up,wont be trying spice taylor again,sadly.

Agree with others here. This is as close to a takeaway standard as i've ever had and believe me, i've tried.

Only used the goan hot one so far but this is as good as it gets

Wow if you want a takeaway curry cooked at home this is the best. Amazing flavour easy to prepare and great results every time. Never going back.

Excellent kits - favourite for speed and flavour is the Delhi Black daal but all of the Indian meal kits are brilliant, tasty, cheap and quick to make and they have reduced my takeaway expenditure to near zero.

Easily the best flavour (and aroma) of any cook at home curry. Much, much better than the usual bottled sauces. I cannot recommend enough that you marinade the chicken (or whatever) ahead of time, 4+ hours, and definitely grill it first (8-9 minutes for me, keep an eye out for slightly charred upper corners). Absolutely amazing, especially the chicken tikka massala.

Are we missing something here? Classic lentil daal 400g. Says feeds 2-3 as a main and needs no other ingredients. 2-3 mice 🤔 perhaps. Is the packaging wrong or what? A tin of soup that just does 2 as a snack is 400g. I’ve never fed 3 people as a main with one tin of soup???

Easy to make Thai green curry kit, for that I'll give it two stars, but once you've made it the dining experience is wholey underwhelming.

I have tried 3 curries. Fiery goan, butter chicken and tikka massala. Love all of them. I let them wallow overnight and they become more spicy and fabulous. Butter & tikka seem quite mild but left overnite or frozen portions....nom nom. Would not hesitate to recommend to all curry lovers....saved a fortune on takeaways btw. Tilda basmati rice, good naan bread and a spice tailor.....under a tenner

Tried this brand as it was reduced in Waitrose. Could not believe the quality of this product, my kitchen had the authentic aroma of a restaurant; the taste was amazing, far removed from the standard jars! I have made really good BIR curries before with my own base gravy etc and this is the very first time a kit has come anywhere near to the genuine product. I added chic peas, potatoes to mine to pack it out top with fresh coriander. Try the Rogan Josh and you'll never buy another brand again!!
