    Pleasantly surprised by our experience here. It was very busy when we arrived but we were still given a table which was great. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The food was good. Not the best we've had, the chicken may have been previously frozen as it was a bit springy, but it was edible. I think the price point is the big winner here which draws the crowds. We will go back.

    Great value but one particular member of staff is rather annoying. If you've been you'll know exactly who I mean. He starts conversation whilst eating your food, says the same "jokes" to every table & talks about his personal life. I'm really not interested when having a nice quiet meal with my husband. Sorry if that sounds awful its just really irritating. The food is great but he puts me off going. Everyone says it!

    Staff were lovely and attentive. Food was very bland. I ordered a Lamb Bhuna which was bland, lamb pieces were full of fat and chewy, I sent it back and was not charged - staff did offer to make me an alternative but as the rest of the food was also very bland I didn’t think there was much point in waiting for another dish. We also ordered Chicken Korma and Chicken Tikka Massala, both were extremely sweet, but the most edible of what we ordered. 2 other dishes we ordered were also very bland. Garlic Naan had no taste or visible garlic, just tasted like Naan with a bit of butter. Chips were burnt. Afraid to say we would not return due to the food, just was not cooked well enough, lacked flavour. This was a shame as this restaurant has many good reviews so we were surprised as to how bad the food really was. Felt as though we wasted our money. 2 stars for the attentive staff, 0 stars for the food.

    Overall an incredible experience. The staff were delightful! Food was alot better than I expected, The price was incredible for what you received. Only issue I had with the experience was that the interior of the restaurant was a slight bit dated but don't for a second let that put you off expericing this hidden gem!

    First time visiting tonight and it won't be the last. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed every mouthful. We had the 5 course meal plus drinks and deserts and it was only £27.50 a head. Really worth a visit x

    Absolutely gorgeous food and the restaurant is perfect. If there is a better Indian in either town nearby I would be amazed. Staff friendly and price is very reasonable too. I got takeaway last time and had a pint while we waited (which wasn't long) even though the place was packed! Couldn't recommend enough!

    Absolutely top class Indian! Was here at the weekend and it was brilliant from start to finish. We arrived in a busy car park (good sign) however still found a space. We were greeted and immediately showed to our table, the interior is very well decorated and is a pleasant environment, not cramped, well arranged. Service was impeccable, almost immediate with the drinks (how did they do that we said!), especially better ever when served by ‘Elvis’! Food was very timely, with poppadoms served quickly and then the main meals as we finished these. The meals were very tasty, authentic and flavoursome with a good selection of traditional and speciality dishes available. Once finished the dishes were cleared away in good time but at no point were we hurried to get the bill or leave. A thoroughly enjoyable evening with a happy team at the Spice of India.

    This is my 3rd visit to this place. Food always been really tasty and fresh but this time the food just didn’t seem up to the high standards. The red food colouring is a bit to much used in all there dishes. Waiters are really nice and responsive.

    Simply the best indian restaurant around hands down. Customer service is absolutely brilliant and nothing is too much for these guys. Love the banter I can have with the lads. Proper conversations, they are top notch. The food is incredible, never had a bad meal here at all and they always deliver on their quality. The price is brilliant, really cant argue considering other restaurants in the area are extortionate with poor service and bland food. Simply, will not go anywhere else... Well done Spice Of India.

    Best vindaloo I've ever had, extremely flavourful! The staff were friendly and the decor inside is really nice. Only been twice in total, but this place is becoming one of my favourite curryhouses.

    I've been working around Widnes now for a couple of months and my only regret is that I didn't discover this place till a couple of weeks ago. These guys knock the spots of their southern competition. Their prices in this current financial situation is borderline charity compared to prices around Essex, their service is unbeatable. Even with a takeaway you get all the extras you would only expect in the restaurant like poppadoms and dips and the quality of their curries is fantastic. I'm a lamb man and everytime it was cooked to perfection. Thank you guys will always stop by when I'm around these parts

    Great food, lovely staff. I have to shout out to our waiter Elvis who has some great jokes to jeep you entertained. The prices are very affordable for such Great quality food that will leave you full to the brim. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect for a date night or an evening with friends.

    Great place to eat, whether it is a normal day/night or over the Chrustmas period. You cannot fault the food, the chicken chaat starter is to die for, the service is absolutely excellent (they work hard but they do have plenty of staff), staff are all happy and very friendly and efficient and courteous. Excellent value for money too. Thank you Ash and Mijan and team for another excellent family meal x

    Probably the weirdest Indian Takeaway I’ve ever had. My family & I order an Indian Takeaway at least once a week as we love them, so like to think we’re clued up on them😂The curry sauce was watery & really tomatoey- a bit like a tomato pasta sauce and all 3 of the dishes we ordered were like this so was not just due to 1 curry having tomatoes in. The poppadoms were stale and overall the meal was very bland. I think our bill came to just over £30 and feels like a bit of a waste to be honest. We thought we’d try somewhere new and has completely backfired. I checked the reviews prior to ordering and had seen more good than bad so went with it. Let this be your sign if you’re reading reviews and looking for one to put you off, find somewhere else. We usually order from Barton Rouge or the Anmol on Warrington Road, which are amazing compare to the takeaway from here. The interior is extremely outdated and looks a bit grubby. Service was relatively fast but thats the only good I have to say i’m afraid. Would not recommend.

    Came to Spice of India with my cousin for tea. I’ve been many times and we had a lovely time. Food was excellent and although very busy no waiting between courses. Thank you Sam for looking after us. Looking forward to my next visit in a few weeks highly recommend but always book in advance

    Been here for almost every birthday since I was 16 I think. Lovely warm and kind service. Love the food, when it says its hot they are not kidding. Always get the madras, had the vindaloo too once that one burned on the way in as well as the way out, was still lovely.

  • 3/5 Deborah B. 2 months ago on Google New
    One of the waiters was constantly telling unfunny jokes whilst we we were eating and it made the whole atmosphere and experience uncomfortable. We had gone as a family to chat and enjoy each others company.

  • 4/5 Lana R. 4 months ago on Google
    I came here for a family meal. The service and atmosphere were friendly, the food and drinks took time to come out which was because it was busy. There was a mix-up with the drinks, and it took over 30 mins to get our drinks.. The food was okay but felt not authentic and probably not the best Indian in town. My partner and his mum and brother both felt sick that evening. Which we have to assume maybe some of the food didn't agree with them. I would give this place another chance in case it was an off day!

👍👍 Great vibe, friendly owners, and best of all - comforting good food! The scones are a must-try, the omelette was just the right amount of fluffy and not too greasy, and we really enjoyed the barm with runny egg. Would definitely go there again for their afternoon tea sometime!
