Overall disappointing. The food itself tasted nice, but I ordered the gluten free box which came without some of the gluten containing items. I expected a top up on the non-gluten free options, but instead was given a 3rd full box, which was supposed to be a 'large'. Just found it odd that they were unwilling to provide a top up of rice or some of the other dishes to make it a reasonable size meal. Instead I just left hungry, which is disappointing. I won't be returning unfortunately.
