Is it me or has curry got more expensive? More expensive, later, colder and unpredictable if our delivery from Jaflong is anything to go by, writes Katherine MacAlister.

Which is a shame because things had started off so well.

Our first takeaway from the popular Tandoori restaurant was delicious, prompt and reasonable.

Having just moved to the area, in our opinion finding the right curry house was as important as checking out the local boozer and meeting the neighbours.

Sadly, we soon realised that Jaflong had peaked too early, because the next delivery took over an hour to arrive, cold into the bargain and cost more than £40 for two.

When matched against our previous delivery company, which was always on time, delicious, hot and £30 into the bargain, there was no comparison.

I phoned to complain and they promised us a massive discount.

The bill was still £28 and the standards really hadn't improved much.

VERDICT: Hit-and-miss. We're still looking for that perfect curryhouse - tip-offs would be gratefully received.
