    It's been a while since we were last here. Went on Sunday night 6pm. Was empty. Quickly seated. Nice friendly man gave us menu and ordered drinks. Poppadoms and chutneys were nice. Daughter got chicken chat. She said the best she's had. I got chicken piri piri. It was amazing. Wife got chicken biryani. Witch was lovely. Daughter got chicken tikka masala. Witch was lovely. I got lamb handi. Witch I always get when I visit here. Its amazing. Naan bread was good. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommended. 👍

    Our first visit to Rainhill and tried this restaurant out, great selection of dishes both standard and out of the ordinary. We really enjoyed our meal, flavoursome, nicely presented, and not at all greasy. Staff were lovely and decor was crisp and clean.

    Ordered a delivery at the weekend.A chicken and Lamb Korma.The meats were tender and well cooked.However the sauce was so bland it was basically tasteless.I’d like to say we’ve eaten in and had takeaway before and it’s constantly excellent. So you can imagine our disappointment at the total lack of taste. I assume the food is usually tasted before being dispatched,im guessing our meals weren’t sampled or the sampler had a heavy cold and took a punt about the taste!.I’m certain had someone in the kitchen tried it,it wouldn’t have left the kitchen in that state. I’d like to reiterate that the food has always been lovely previously and we will try again in the future.

    Been here several times over the last couple of years and the food has always been good. However, this time , the poppadoms tasted like they'd been cooked in oil well past its best. But that's the only criticism 'food-wise '. The place wasn't busy but our main courses (-there were three of us-) took an inordinately long time - maybe an hour to arrive. What added insult to injury was that a bloke (obviously known to the staff) and his girl friend who came in much later than us were served almost immediately. When our food arrived, no complaints. But.... this delayed service has happened on other occasions. Minor gripe, because the food is lovely, but come on fellas... get it sorted.

    We ordered a takeaway from the spice inn tonight and it was one of the nicest Indian takeaways I have had in a long time. Will definitely recommend. I would of been using your service for the last year if I had known you deliver. Excellent service and food.

    First visit was on a Friday night . We didn't book as we never thought it would be busy but they fitted us in . We waited 30 mins for a table not bad at all considering how busy they were. I don't think I have ever seen a restaurant as busy as the spice inn ever and the way all the staff coped was very commendable..all of the food we had was fantastic. We will definitely go back but we like a quiet restaurant so will try it mid week next time

    Joint Best curry house within 20 miles. Food just tastes that little bit special. Good price as well. Always feel at home.

    Disappointing Experience Rude Staff at Spice inn Restaurant I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Spice Inn and felt compelled to share my thoughts about the extremely rude staff( 2 waiters in the restaurant)encountered. While the restaurant had received positive reviews for its cuisine, the unprofessional behavior of the staff overshadowed any enjoyment I could have had during my visit.

  • 5/5 Lucia A. 11 months ago on Google
    Our favourite for Indian food! Always fabulous service, FANTASTIC food and the real ales on tap for my husband, from the associated pub Coach and Horses. 100% recommended

    1st time last night and so glad I give it a go. Only had a takeaway but food was delicious. Been to lots of Indian restaurants some really good ones and this is up there with them. Nan, Bhaji, Curry and rice plentiful and soooo nice. Will try the restaurant next time has it looked spotless and warming, ideal to try some other delights from the menu. Also, pub next door with lots of choice on draught, no brainer.

    We had our Christmas day lunch here.staff were lovely and friendly. We left without our phone and had to drive back. Was retrieved back to us safely after I rang Sadik (The owner) All in all, nice service. Was costly but worth saving the pennies. And hard labour of preparation cooking ext ext ext.

    For years Indian has been my favourite food but for 12 months now I've become less interested due to not enjoying the food that has been served to me. Indian food is rarely bad, but it can be very average. Eat at the Spice Inn yesterday, been many times before but not for a few years and have never written a review. The food was incredible. Won't be going anywhere else any time soon and my taste for Indian food is BACK!

    Lovely Indian restaurant pub adjacent to a remarkable family run pub with added bonus of having a Indian restaurant within it, a lovely local pub and restaurant

  • 5/5 Alex B. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible food and a lovely homely atmosphere with a pub next to it. What more could you want?

  • 5/5 David M. 2 years ago on Google
    Having not been for over two years, I thought it was time for a revisit. The food and service was great. The menu has changed, plenty of choice, quite a few things are different. Good atmosphere and delicious food.

    @thespiceinn Liverpool What we ordered: Chicken tikka masala Chicken korma Honey chicken Rai Puri (chicken and pineapple) Thoughts 💭 One of our favourite curry houses in Liverpool. The korma here is pretty much unbeatable. If you love a thick, creamy curry then this is a must visit 😍
