The Dutchie Express 33 Whitehorse Lane, London SE25 6RD

"The food now is god awful - do not go there. It is really sad as the quality for years has been amazing. Waited for 40 mins, gave my food away to a driver today - the actual food itself - a big lump of rice and tasting terrible. Festivals were hard, plantain was old. Told me I couldn't order medium and I had to order large."

"About a year ago, I order the curry goat from their other franchise and was instead given curry bones. I thought I would give these guys another chance but again I received curry bones. They were at least consistent in something, providing poor quality food each and every time."

"In store, bought & paid for the boneless mutton curry to takeaway. It was an hour or two before closing. We was told the takeaway would be ready in 45 mins so we popped up the road until it was ready. Upon our return we collected the takeaway and headed back out to our destination. As we were preparing to eat to our disappointment & disbelief the boneless mutton dish was full of bones at the cost of £17.50. I had recommended this dish to my friend so it was very uncomfortable to see that the dish was nothing like what the dutchie's promised it'd be (boneless). I though maybe it had been a mistake so we drove back to the restaurant to get a replacement, this is where it took a turn for the worse. When we knocked on the door the server hid and pretended not to see us or hear us knocking the door. We had to keep knocking until a manager came out and opened the door. We explained what had happened & he let us in to get the order corrected. However the chef was very unprofessional & got rather nasty towards us. The replacement order was full of curry liquid with a few pieces of curry mutton swimming in the container. It took 5 minutes to get a replacement so it wasn't fresh food. Upon leaving the establishment the chef & management shouted such rude & undignified comments towards me & my friend (who's first time it was in this restaurant) as we made our way out of the establishment. We left feeling humiliated, hurt & traumatised. It was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant & we couldn't bring ourselves to eat the food because we just didn't trust the dutchie staff anymore. Would not recommend this restaurant."

"On 06-Aug-2022 I ordered a couple of meals today from Thornton Heath as I was feeling under the weather to cook. My meal was oxtail with rice and peas and coleslaw. Point 1, the oxtail and rice & peas were stale. The coleslaw was warm like it was left out of the fridge. The plantain was raw and undercooked. The second meal was chickpea curry with rice and peas. Point 2, the chickpea was hard and the onions raw. It was full of curry powder that was not cooked down and there were many chickpeas and potatoes in the container that you could count them. We left it on the side for 10 minutes. she went to go and eat; I took the lid off it was turning you could smell the coconut cream turning in the food. I am not one to complain, but wrong is wrong, and right is right. If I could give them no stars, that is what I would have given you. Imagine I have spent all that money, and I have had to throw it all away. We have just wasted £32:86 on the food, we cannot eat. Awful food don't waste your time. I will not be visiting or buying anything from them again."
