I would just like to congratulate you on your excellent cookbook. It has given me no end of pleasure and good meals since I purchased it during a visit to York two years ago. My friends and family enjoy the recipes so much I have just ordered another copy for a Christmas present.

Independent Leeds - Cooking up a storm: fun new ingredients from Kirkgate Market
This family business create scrumptious spice blends and curry mixes, and also offer the fresh ingredients that make them. So you can pick up chillies, masala sauce and naan bread for a super standard curry, and to get the tastebuds tingling you can also try the lesser known, like moong dal, ajwain seeds, jaggery, cabbage slaw, jalapeсo jam and spiced tea.

I owe you some late feedback. I ordered 3 hampers that were to be Christmas gifts. Shortly after placing my order I received a call advising all the packs contained fresh ingredients. Although I could change most to dry ingredients one of the packets needed to be fresh. I was given a perfect solution. Thank you to Tanya [in the Mail Order department] for taking the stress out of the purchase and the follow-up calls to provide help. The curry packs were a massive hit too. Nice one Rafi's!
Paul, Mail Order CustomerSaw the article in The Observer and phoned to order the spice box and book. So pleased with it all as I received some little extra spices and also bought a spice pack ready to cook with meat. Can't praise it enough. The book is superb and easy to follow. The basmati rice was the best I've cooked and the instructions were spot on. The person who took my order was so helpful. I am hooked and will be odering more. I'm only sorry we don't have a shop nearby but there is the excitement of getting it by mail and the anticipation of what is inside.
Rosemary SutherlandAbsolutely delicious! Our new favourite - we will never order a takeaway curry again. The tomato goju was one of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had and I love that you can choose how much heat you want in each recipe. I’ve got my family hooked too
Posted by Vikki Snowden on 29, 11, 2018Just to say, your curry mixes ARE the best thing since sliced bread! Since discovering your Sudbury shop about 10 years ago I've never bought a take away curry since!
Carrie, East YorkshireI recently cooked a celebratory lunch using your handy packs as the base for my curries. There were 40 to cook for and only the simplest of kitchens. Everything worked out brilliantly, the spices were fresh and zingy and everyone dug in; after an hour there was nothing left of over 16kg of curry. The ease in making up the dishes meant that preparation and timing were straightforward. A friend helped me with chopping and dicing whilst I cooked. The straight forward nature of the dishes meant that we too could enjoy the lunch with our friends without a frantic period of preparation. [...] It was all you could wish for, colour, taste and appropriate for all dietary needs. Thank you again. The next time I'm in Sudbury I will need to restock!
