“ We went for a meal at Spicecultureuk to celebrate my birthday yesterday and it was, by far, the best Indian we've ever had! We had Poppadoms and pickle tray to start, followed by a Veg platter and Tellicherry Squid. Then for mains we had the Mushroom, Gobi and Paneer Korma, the Chicken Tikka Saagwala, Peshwari Naan and Garlic Mushroom rice. Every aspect of the meal was well presented and so tasty! We had to take a doggy bag home as our eyes were clearly bigger than our bellies We will definitely be going back again soon though. They even sang happy birthday to me and brought me a little dessert out. Excellent food, excellent service and well priced too. All that and a bottle of wine with service included came to around 85. The starters looked so good we just tucked straight in, so I didn't even take photos, only got pics of the mains. 10/10 ”
“ Beautifully cooked juicy and tender meat throughout. The mixed tandoori shared starter was delicious and really well cooked and I had the best butter chicken main. Our server, Priyanka, was attentive and checked we were happy with each dish. Great to have such a quality restaurant in the area. ”
“ We had a brilliant evening meal here and it’s certainly one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in a while. We were seated right at the back of the restaurant, tucked round a corner, which initially felt a little cut off and didn’t have the same level of decor and atmosphere as the rest of the restaurant, but the service didn’t suffer at all and once the adjacent tables were occupied it was fine. The waitress was really friendly and very proactive throughout the visit, with no need to wait for drink top ups plus she was knowledgeable enough about the menu to offer advice when we were ordering the food. The food menu is extensive but does specialise in more authentic dishes than the usual items you’d be familiar with across British Indian restaurants. If this is worrisome don’t fear - the kitchen is willing to make dishes not listed too so most people should be happy. The drinks menu is equally large and prices for even the wines and champagne are very reasonable. The food arrived in good time with superb presentation and brilliant flavours. The tandoori sharing starter was incredible, with huge prawns and succulent very tasty meat. The size was great as a sharer and beat anything I’ve had in an India restaurant in the UK before. The king prawn biryani was a lot larger than it initially looked with good spice levels and plenty of prawns. The standard rice sides were a good size although the naan was perhaps a little disappointing compared to the quality of the rest of the food dishes - it was smaller and thinner than anticipated and flavour just wasn’t quite on par. Overall it was a brilliant experience and I’ll certainly be returning again when looking for an Indian in the town; highly recommended! ”
“ Visited here a few months ago with friends for the first time. The food was outstanding. My highlights were the Chooza, chicken 65, lamb ghost - I can't remember the rest of the names, but everything was lovely. I had the yellow submarine cocktail, I couldn't really taste the banana which was disappointing. ”
“ Delicious Indian food! We had Onion potato and kale Bhajis (you get 2 one had been eaten in photo) Seabass Dill Tikka followed by Khade Masala Karara Ghost and Punjabi Lamb Sagwala and Pilau Rice it was all lovely. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially Adi who served us. We will definitely visit again! ”
“ A nice family run restaurant, the food was very authentic and tasty. The staff helped to steer us to a few special house curries. House wine was affordable, generally ambiance was relaxing for an Easter Sunday. Certainly a place we will return to, ”
“ Celebrated valentines at Spice culture. Restaurant was full and a really buzzing atmosphere. Staff very welcoming on arrival and both friendly and efficient throughout the evening. Food was fantastic- definitely recommend and will be back. All the ladies received a red rose on departure which I thought was a lovely touch to end a really great evening- thank you ”
