    Fresh amazingly tasty food. Lots of staff due to lots of customers. Many people cant be wrong. England CurryAward winners 2016. I'd love to taste food from whoever beat them since. The high standards have never faltered. Simply the best

    Ordered five dishes on Friday evening for collection early Saturday evening. Confirmed the phone order and confirmed it was FIVE dishes. Collected sealed box and at home only included four items. First and last time I will recommend anyone to use this place without being very careful.

    Spice Island has been highly recommended to us on numerous occasions, so we gave it a try this evening. Best curry (Chicken Tikka Madras) I’ve had in a long time. Good service, excellent food….. What more could you ask for.

    Well considering it has great certificates all over the place they can't get a simple order correct I went in I ordered 1 thing a sheek kebab roll with salad and mint sauce I waited 10 mins and got given my food I asked the guy behind the counter if its what I ordered he assured me it was I was charged 9 pound for this on a normal nan bread when I got home it was a chicken tikka kebab not happy atal so I rang them and told them and the guy said he never checked it but if I walk all the way back i can have what i ordered im 15 mins away so I was charged 9 pound for chic on nan the chicken didn't taste of anything the nan was soggy as they come it was worst thing I've seen if they think I will return for my food so they can spit in it before they give it me think again I will never go back there and I will never recommend this place it's all precooked food reheated in woks n pans nothing is fresh

    6 stars seems more appropriate! All the staff are so polite and the food speaks for itself! Flavoursome, quality tikka meat, large portions and great value for money. It’s a ten from Len.

You can pay Apple Pay and card payments quick and easy at the door, personal favourite fresh onion bhajis soft in the middle with a nice sauce. Highly recommend to friends niceone lads

    This restaurant is my favored. I eat in plenty of restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The stuff is very cordial and the cooking they place on your table is so delicious. I never decline to have a good dinner in this restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent all round

    The absolute best Bangladeshi takeaway you will ever find. Flavoursome food, it’s not a surprise it wins countless awards year on year. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. You can order a normal portion or extra large and still won’t be disappointed, plentiful portions. Naan breads are delicious too.

  • 5/5 mark B. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 11 reviews
    Used them for years ,food has always been great when it gets busy except a wait , once or twice had to phone up a 1hr past delivery time but a apology and some free poppadoms. Over a 20 year period that's awesome πŸ‘. Can't wait for my next chicken Rogan Josh......

  • 5/5 David F. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 11 reviews
    Best takeaway in Bolton. Both my wife and I are vegan and they provide multiple vegan options, all of which are delicious. We order once or twice a month and they recognise me every time and always give excellent, polite service; always with a smile. We wouldn't go anywhere else for curry night now!

  • 1/5 Lisa I. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 9 reviews
    Placed our order online at around 4.35pm Saturday 9th Dec. Stated delivery in 90 minutes. Fifteen minutes after the original 90 minute wait, I called and was told our bill had been lost. If we waited another 40 minutes, they would add something nice to our order, plus charge half price. Completely unacceptable. I have used this takeaway for 18 years. Wont be coming back. Disgraceful.

    Sick of spending money on food that doesn’t turn up. What turns up is rice. Same old story of we will send a curry! Absolute joke.

  • 4/5 Will Y. 10 months ago on Google
    Good food however extremely slow delivery with extortionate prices on food

  • 5/5 Alfie B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best curry house in the world by a long way, they have so many awards it's unreal and the food is outstanding every time we go.

  • 5/5 A M. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Food is exceptional. There's a reason they are always busy.

  • 5/5 andrew nuttall (. 1 year ago on Google
    Best curry's I have ever eaten in all my 61 years on this plan

  • 5/5 Nina 1 year ago on Google
    Best takeaway ever. Delicious high quality food, loads of variety and fresh ingredients. Not your typical curry takeaway- although they do have some more traditional dishes too. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best takeaway Bangladeshi and Indian food I've ever eaten.

  • 4/5 waiel h. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been getting my curries from here for a number of years. While the taste and spice level have not been consistent in my regular curry orders, they are still my favourite. Also the amount of oil in their curries can be a little bit too much at times but I still like them.

  • 5/5 Thomas R. 3 years ago on Google
    By far the best curry takeaway in the area. The banquet for two is great value for money considering that it can actually feed 4 people. The chicken is juicy and big pieces which is something that other curry takeaways can’t emulate. There is a reason as to why it has won so many awards

  • 1/5 Alison S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food but they take way too long to deliver. Regularly over 2 hours so we’ve given up.

  • 5/5 Simon M. 3 years ago on Google
    Got a Christmas curry from here like we have for the past few years and yet again it never fails to impress we ordered it on Wednesday just to make sure. Everything arrived on time and absolutely fantastic food had a couple of phone calls of them informing me that it may be a little late keeping us well informed and a phonecall saying its due to arrive. The staff are very well mannered and helpful and polite we will continue to use this fantastic curry house for the foreseeable future thanks guys

  • 2/5 Lisa I. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been ordering from this establishment for over ten years. Recently the chicken lacks taste and has an odd texture. It's really a review for the chefs to say, please dont boil chicken before using in a curry, it makes it lack taste. Such a shame as there was a time when I would have given them 5 stars all day long.

    Ordered takeaway meals for 5 people. Spice Island food outstanding. Fresh ingredients, plenty to choose from off the menu and very tasty. Probably the best buryani I have ever tasted and there were only good comments from the rest of the family. Will certainly be going back.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Ordered 17/08/2023 via Uber eats. Food was great, the butter chicken looked quite light on chicken but it was all hidden in one side / part of the bowl. The mango Falooda was large size but is what you would class as medium drinks cup so tasty but not good value. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
