We are never disappointed every time we visit The Spice of India in Nelson. We took relatives there last Saturday, and they were raving about the quality of the food and the value for money. They often eat out in Newcastle, and they say there is nothing like it there for quality and quantity...and it would be much more expensive. The staff are so friendly and attentive ,making sure you enjoy every minute. If you like Indian food, there is nowhere better than The Spice of India.

NONE.. DID NOT EAT THE FOOD.
Myself, My Wife and my Mother-in -Law.
Yesterday, 16/07/11, i phoned spice of india in nelson, lancashire and asked
"DO YOU HAVE A BUFFET ON SUNDAY?"
i was told, "YES"
I asked, "HOW MUCH IS THE BUFFET?"
I was told £8:95 per person
I asked, "DO YOU HAVE A VEGITARIAN SECTION?".
I was told, YES, LOTS OF VEGITARIAN DISHES.
I asked, "WHAT TIME IS THE BUFFET ?
I was told 2pm - 7pm
On 17/07/11 I again phoned spice of india, and asked
"DO YOU HAVE A BUFFET TODAY ?"
I was told, YES.
So I booked places for 3 people for 4:15pm
At 4:15pm we arrived to an empty restaurant, only the staff and 2 customers leaving.
we were asked if we had booked, and then shown to a table.
I asked, "WHERE IS THE FOOD?". "WHERE IS THE BUFFET?"
I was told" NO BUFFET, IT'S A FIXED MENUE", and was then shown a list of dishes written on a scrap of paper. The main dishes being meat.
I asked, "VEGITARIAN FOOD?"
"DON'T WORRY, WE'LL MAKE YOU SOMETHING"
Being very disapointed at no buffet, and upset at being lied too, twice. We left.
I CAN'T COMMENT ON THE FOOD, BUT I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS RESTAURANT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY LIED TO ME ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN I TRIED TO ENQUIRE ABOUT THERE SERVICES.

Terrible curry, Asked for 5 currys Madras strength, one was four were bland. Prawns in curry were off, causing both of us to be ill. Lemonade in drinks flat. hope your experience is better, if ur stupid enough to go.

I have been very fortunate over recent years to have sampled Indian cuisine in many European Cities, along with Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, including one of the worlds top 50 Indian restaurants and have to say that The Spice of India is one of the best restaurants that I have visited.
There are many factors that go into making a restaurant a top class one - these include Ambience, Customer Service, Value for Money and also very importantly the Quality of the Cuisine. The Spice of India achieves an exceptionally high standard in all of these important areas.
No matter when I visit this restaurant, or how long it is since my last visit, the manager and staff are always friendly and courteous delivering a very high standard of service. I also have to say that the quality of food is always consistent, which sadly can not be said f or a lot of restaurants.
I currently do a 70 mile round trip in order to enjoy the Spice of India - so that speaks for itself!

We use the takeaway service most weekends and dine in occasionally on special occasions and have done for years. Service is second to none and Shammy and his team can not do enough for you. We live out in the sticks and his team still find us and deliver top quality food. Yum Yum!! Keep up the rural deliveries folks. Quality!!!!!!

I visit on Sundays from time to time, with friends, and always we are welcomed so warmly. The food is great and there is plenty of it. They make a fuss of you if it is your birthday and the staff are always on hand to make sure you enjoy everything.

I have been going to spice for a number of years and its one of the best Indians around, as below staff are always friendly.
The prices are very good compared to others. The only thing that lets it down is the area but don't let this put you off, i have been to top indians in leeds and manchester and this beats them all, well done and keep it up!
