Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.

The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β€” your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.

Epic flavors, but watch the takeaway.

The Spice is a little slice of Indian heaven, where the lamb dishes practically sing with flavor. Reviewers rave about the Keema Matar, saying it’s rich, perfectly spiced, and a must-try. It’s clear that this place is all about authenticity β€” you’re not just getting curry, you’re getting the real deal.

But watch out, because not everyone is on the same page. A couple of diners had an experience that was more 'horror story' than 'culinary adventure', especially one who found the takeaway to be a tragedy of epic proportions. So, while you might find a new favorite here, just tread carefully with your choices.
