Roaches in Food, from take out!!

Just ordered Chinese and Indian food from a restaurant and got "Chicken Tikka Roaches Marsla". It was disgusting. Has anyone had this happen to them here. I've only been here a month or so and have been hesitant to order out and looks like for good reason. Can I say the name of the restaurant here?

Never here, but I did get an folded omelette at a restaurant in Portugal that had a cockroach in the centre.

Sounds gross. I hope you are allowed to name the resturant (but I dont know if you're allowed). I've only been here 2 months as well and I am hesitant for the same reason!

I will tell you this, Chili. I called the restaurant back and spoke with the manager. He gave me the owners name and number. When I called him, he told me he would send someone right over. About 20 min. delivery guy came back and was very apologetic. He explained it off as if it came from the styrofoam containers and that all their Chinese food is made fresh. Gave me back full refund. Took all the food back but left me with nightmares!

name and shame - as there are two choices
1) it gets removed by the mods - and you get a telling off
2) it stays and maybe others have had good experiances

Go for it I say

Your best bet is to try out what is local to you, go in and have a meal if you like it speak with the manager or waiter and ask for their delivery menu, almost all deliver, if they can put a name to the face when the order comes in they will give you good service and you can always pump them for other info, they love to talk and will be especially nice if they are after your repeat business
