The Copper Pot

Not a good experience, wont be back. They obviously want takeaway business but not dining in. We walked in for a weekday lunch around 12pm. We are the first and only customer. Want a quick meal. Quickly placed the order as we are hungry. We were waiting for at least 30mins for our main dishes. Even we are the only cx dining in. And there was no take away order ahead of us. take away customer even get the meal before us(we ordered same thing, chickpea curry) Butter chicken was plain and the chickpea curry tasted exactly like tomatoe paste and chickpea from the can, mix and warmed up in a microwave. We dont like wasting so I thought to use it for the pizza for the night(replace tomato paste) so I asked for a small sauce container to take the sauce away. There was a dead ant inside the container and I only saw it when I poured the sauce in... When we paid, they asked for $1 for that small sauce container, as its a take awaycontainer. It is the size for ketchup at the fish chips shop. I dont mind to pay as we all know the increase of the price of everything in nz. However, I do prefer to know before not after. I asked why it was the same price for take away meal as they dont need to pay for the containers? I didnt have an answer for it. At the end I paid for extra$1 for some tomato paste. Not a happy feeling you usually have after a meal.

Genuinely the best vindaloo I've ever had. The perfect amount of spice, with deep flavour to it as well. The naan was light and perfectly done, going to come back here next time im in Westport!
