Prices out the wazoo now. If you order they dont read the notes when delivering either which is really really annoying. Food quality went down in the shitter aswell.

Very disappointing. Ordered Crispy chicken with garlic butter sauce and boiled rice.
There was no sauce! Rang them up and she tried to convince me that the sauce is built in to the the crispy chicken pieces. Dry as a bone.
Worst meal I ever paid for.
