Offer commences 11th October and ends 17th October
To celebrate National Curry Week (or because it's been an entire month since the last Indian takeaway deal), M&S are offering 2 mains and 2 sides from the choices below for £10. This sounds worse than the 2 mains and 3 sides they normally offer so I'm guessing the loss of one side is either due to bigger portions or the increased choice available, particularly for vegetarians.
There are also additional bonuses for sparks card holders but I can't see what these are.

Some of the worst quality curries i've ever had,the chicken is like rubber & the lamb is very fatty & grisly

Marks & Spenser currys are very nice and worthy of a £10 tag for their meal deal

Can anyone comment on quality? I’ve never had a food deal from M&S before so not sure how good/bad they are or whether they are worth it.

They are good by supermarket terms IMPO.
Just be careful to look underneath the cardboard to make sure that you have a good helping of chicken or lamb or prawns in the carton and not just a carton full of sauce.
I also found that the microwave cooking times can be not enough and that I have to give the curry a few stirs during cooking otherwise the curry cooks unevenly. Don't get this with other brands.
