The food was amazing the staff were really friendly and helpful to us the place is nice and clean all the dishes were the best I’ve ever had in my life. There are also so many dishes you can choose from and I don’t have a bad word to say about it will be definitely ordering again More

  • Steven Longhurst

Normally good this time very disappointed. The portion sizes where miniscule. The curry had 7 very small pieces of chicken every other element of the meal was tiny even the tandoori chicken half was off the tiniest bird they could of bought. Sadly won't be trying any more . More

  • Barry Cox

food was delivered short of ordered, when I called to ask about short order they just argued about it. Main dishes were OK but cold and quantities were laughable. About enough to feed my goldfish. Will not use again due to selfish quantity and terrible customer service care

  • Emma M

Good food, not too greasy and rich flavours. The food is very reasonably priced. Usually quick delivery (we tend to order early which could affect this). We always get our takeaway curries from here, having tried quite a few in the area and

My visit to this Indian restaurant was nothing short of a disappointment. The atmosphere within the establishment was less than inviting; the decor was outdated, and the place looked like it had been in dire need of a thorough cleaning for

Don’t like leaving bad reviews or being rude but we ordered food and it took over an hour and a half to get to us, food was missing, the chips were soggy and everything was stone cold. When I called up to tell them they admitted that their

  • Xana Lopes

Awful. Ordered a delivery. When it arrived there were items missing that the driver was aware of. He said he'd go back and get them. We were then called to say one of the items missing wasn't on the order and we would have to pay extra...

  • Róisín K

The Chicken Biryani I recently tasted was hands down the best I've ever had! It was simply amazing, bursting with flavours. The chicken was tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned, combined with fragrant basmati rice. I cannot recommend it

  • Gamz G

I orders from here TWICE now!! And first time was a joke!!! After waiting over a hour for my food they ended up delivering me the wrong order and had to wait even longer for them to go back and get me my order! It was a joke! Was cold as

Hands down the best Indian takeaway in Shirley. We’ve been getting our Indian takeaways here for over 8 years now and the quality of food is always consistent and delicious. We’ve tried others but always come back here. At the moment you

After receiving a leaflet through my door, I ordered a delivery. Well I must say it was one of the very best Indian food I have ever tasted. Every dish was absolutely delicious. Delivered within 20 minutes of ordering. Food was nice and

  • Jack Sell

By far the worst indian i have ever tried it took them 2hrs to deliver my food it arrived warm and by the time i had dished it up and made a drink it was pretty much cold. Tasteless and just overall the worst ive ever tasted i would

  • chloe duvall

I really feel the need to express just how tasteful and delicious our food was from Spices....am overwhelmed... so many disappointing deliveries with food from west wickham Indian restaurants that there is not a comparison. .. this

  • Rebecca

For me, I always get dissapointed if an Indian takeaway is a bit bland. I've ordered from this place 4/5 times now and enjoyed it every time. The food is very tasty and the portion sizes are pretty big so always a safe bet.

  • Danny Sharma

I don't like leaving bad reviews but I have to say this was the worst Indian takeaway I have ever ordered, the lamb was tough the sauce was bland,the peshawar nan was below average, I won't be ordering here again …

  • Lock Down Society

Really gone down hill here, curry lacks flavour, they were great when I first went there but it's getting very inconsistent in quality. Hope I don't have dodgy guts tomorrow otherwise I'll be writing another review.

  • The Original DanJoe

Delicious, mouth watering, flavoursome and authentic indian food. I've definitely found my regular spot and it's worth the travel. Recommend this place 100%. Spices really does stay true to it's name!!!

  • Madhusudhan Konda

This is a great Indian takeaway place serving Shirley area people for the last 18 years. The menu has all the dishes one could expect from an Indian cuisine, very fairly priced with wonderful tastes.

  • rushna Begum

Very pleasantly surprised with the food. The portions were great and the peshwari naan and meat dansak is divine. My whole family enjoyed the meal and we are looking forward to ordering again soon.

  • Jermaine Khalil

  • Andy Percy

RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. COLD FOOD. These guys are a joke. Food always takes an hour. When you call them up and ask where it is they tell you lies like ‘it’s already left’ and ‘we make it all

  • Bill Tomz

Food is always perfect. One of the best tandoori chicken in the area. Reasonably priced. I usually collect and have found them to cook the food quickly as well. Recommended. More

  • Urszula Pasionek

Very nice food. Tasty and fresh. Ordered online and it was very quick. I am giving 4 stars as one item was missing but it was too late to go back. Otherwise I would recommend it.

  • Blu Cantrell

I was an extremely happy regular customer, the food is exquisite. Good size portions and the quality is great. I'm very choosey about my food, and they have never let me down.

  • Stefano Fabrizi

Really really good food...quite annoyed I hadn't tried it sooner having lived here for ages. It's been established 24 years and it shows in the freshness and the intensity

  • Julie

Excellent food. So well cooked and tasty. We have ordered from here a few times now as a treat and each time they have not disappointed. Thank you. Would highly recommend.

  • K M

My morning cheese and toast has more flavour than this, the derisory amount of food that they’ve selfishly squeezed into a large sized container is honestly absurd.

  • Lynne Sales

Ordered online waited an over an hour . E mail confirmed order. Called to be told no order on record. System clearly doesn’t work. Very disappointed. More

The food is always so delicious. The tandoori dishes and currys are the best I have had from any Indian. Great service staff really friendly and helpful.

Ordered a curry 13 years ago when I first moved into the area. Spices were burnt and quality was poor.
