1498 The Spice Affair in Peterborough

Great food interesting menu some vegan and lots of vegetarian options. Was a nice space, service good little bit noisy on a Friday night. We enjoyed our reunion meal.

¡Qué gran comida! Acabamos de regresar de siete semanas en la India y el Dal Makhani era sabroso y auténtico. El biryani era excelente y el pan naan una gran mezcla de crujiente y suave. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volvería!

Food was great and service was quick. Would come again

Great first time at 1498 The Spice Affair, tasty food and great service - First trip of many!

When here last Saturday. Amazing food. Had to wait a little bit but it was worth it. Had the chicken biryani for main and it was unlike any biryani I had before. I'm still thinking about it.

Absolutely fantastic food was delicious service fab lovely atmosphere drinks a little on the expensive side though but thoroughly enjoyed our meal will definitely go again on our next visit

An unexpected find... a Sunday night star! Brilliant choice. A Wednesday and Sunday discount meal and wonderful service. Nearly didn't go as the lowest spice rating is 'medium' and I was worried it'd be too spicy but there was no need to worry. 'Medium' was seasoned, flavoursome, slightly spicy but not too much! Food tasted amazing and the portion sizes were great. We were on our way to Camridgeshire from Scotland, but we will be making sure we pass this way again. Highly recommend.

Great meal, the pork vindaloo was fiery. Portions and quality were excellent and the service great.

Lovely set menue on a Wednesday and Sunday. Very good food and service. The place was very full so took a little time with food but it wasn't an issue.

Was a great start, table for 10, and the food was good. I booked the table last week, but when we went to order dessert and coffee, we were told the next people were waiting, so they refused us.

Superb tasty food, lovely environment and tentative service

Best curry I ever had to pleasure of eating, ordered a take away after sitting in the lovely restaurant. If you don’t come you’re missing out!!!!!!

Tuvimos una comida para llevar en enero que era excelente y decidimos probar el restaurante aprovechando el menú establecido en £ 17. 95 . Es tan buena relación calidad-precio, la comida era excelente y el servicio era brillante. Sin duda volveremos!

Only second time here tonight and booked it based on previous experience a couple of weeks ago. What a gem this is, was never on my radar, however now it’s pushing to become my ‘go-to’!!

As always excellent. The best Indian bar none!

Very tasty food and the staff are great!

Very good food and friendly service, willing to alter dishes to suit people’s spice tolerance

We’ve been enjoying food here for a number of years and have enjoyed spending evenings here as a couple as well as with friends and family. The service is on point and welcoming. The menu features a large range or Goan and other dishes. I’d highly recommend anyone eat here to try something different. Although you can still order anglicised curry dishes. The food produced really shows the kitchen cares for the quality and depth of flavour to what is served here. One of the best options to eat out in Peterborough.

We visited here last night for the first time after finding it on Google and choose to visited by the great reviews. The reviews was no lie, this place is amazing fantastic helpful friendly staff. Fantastic service service. And the food was out of this world! Best Indian food I've eaten in a restaurant for a very long time! Can't wait to return. Thank you spice affair for a great evening the most delicious food!

I have used 1498 The Spice Affair twice now. And on both occasion's ordered a takeaway. The food was hot and fresh and nothing was to much trouble, as they delivered to me. I would recommend this Dine in or Take away. The food was delicious and very Tasty.

Suckered in by the 5 star rating. Ordered a chicken madras and garlic naan. Garlic naan was average and added a star to the review. I can not describe or picture how oily the madras was! After a few mouthfuls I felt it was just oil in my mouth and had to stop eating. Maybe I got them on a bad evening but I will never be ordering from here again.

Incredible food and atmosphere, an absolute gem in Peterborough. Have already taken and recommended this place to multiple people and can't wait to be back with more. Great tasting food and the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves and all at a reasonable price. Friendly staff at the restaurant itself is beautiful and clean.

Bueno, fue una sorpresa... en el buen sentido. Había oído hablar de este restaurante de amigos y aunque hemos sido leales a otro restaurante de estilo indio muy conocido durante más de 30 años, le dio una oportunidad, teniendo expectativas limitadas. Personal amable, servicio rápido, menú interesante con “grapas” y artículos variados (cangrejo por ejemplo). La comida tenía un sabor excelente y generoso. Limpio y agradable comedor con una cocina abierta. Precio justo. ¿Qué no te gusta?

First time here for me (second for husband who'd been before with a work group). Lovely place! It looks so cosy and welcoming from the outside. As we walked in I thought how smart if looked. Large-ish bar area if you're early - which we were. However we were seated straight away. We're both vegan and there were some tasty options. I cannot recommend highly enough the Aloo Chat Martini starter. I did not want it to end. I had the vegetable Xacuti with mushroom rice for a main. This was also delicious. Portion sizes I feel are generous and prices absolutely reasonable in this day & age especially for such quality food. Oh I should also mention the poppadums are different to what I've had before anywhere else....in a really really good way! Chunkier and so moreish. The restaurant is quite big really but it had a great atmosphere tonight and even with a large group in attendance the service was impeccable. I'd absolutely love to go back soon. If you're thinking about it, just book and go!

Absolutely delicious food! We thoroughly enjoyed a sit down meal, service great. Takeaway is great offering a 15% discount of the bill if you collect!

Had an incredible evening here, food was amazing as was the service, all produced in a beautiful, clean and stylish restaurant. Can't wait to go back!!

This place was the best indian restaurant i have ever been to. I had a three course meal starting with the Garlic Prawns which were incredible, Chicken Jalferezi with rice and naan which had just the right balance of spice and flavour. The naan was so soft and was perfectly made. The malteaser cheesecake melted perfectly when eaten. The staff were welcoming and very nice.

Great food, atmosphere and service would definitely recommend, reasonable prices for the amount of food you get too.

Absolutely amazing place to eat. Menu is clear and simplistic, but cooked to it's best, great drinks menu and really good for the kids too. Loved the atmosphere, the layout, the staff were welcoming and the option to take your food away was brilliant.

Excellent food and amazing service. Very friendly people and great atmosphere, will definitely come back!

Very tasty Indian food with a Portuguese twist. Highly recommend with friendly attentive staff Pictures is black pudding and you can make it as crispy as you like.

Lovely food and great atmosphere, even on a weeknight

Best Indian in the entire area!

Wow. The food and service in this restaurant is top notch. I had the lamb chops to start and the chef kindly made me a chicken lababdar which was delicious, as were the sides. Great choice of beers on tap and the staff were excellent. 5 stars!

Amazing hidden gem, delicious food and lovely staff.

Not usually a review guy, but wow.

Very good food, friendly service but food took a bit long to arrive. Could do with better heating as quite cold near window

I just wanted to share my recent experience at 1498 The Spice Affair restaurant that was absolutely incredible! The food was the best Indian cuisine I've ever had, full of authentic flavors and spices. As a bonus, they also offered a free bottle of beer, which made the experience even better! I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. Also the staff are very friendly. Well done guys

What a fantastic place! Great service, excellent food and a really great mix of the usual favourites and some amazing, unique dishes.

This excellent Indian restaurant is located in a quiet street. Fast service, cozy place.

Amazing food and lovely service.

Tasty food, Good service, good ambience

Exceeded all expectations! The food was incredible – every dish was very tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

Amazing food and amazing service! Loved every single thing we ordered

Exemplary everything - this place is amazing, the food is to die for. The staff are friendly and accommodating. We will be back

The food, service and entire experience was exceptional. I can see now why it is highly rated. We will definitely be back here.

I've been for a number of meals here, the quality is consistently excellent Rally lovely food.

The food was amazing and the service was incredible. My girlfriend fisco

Flavours were absolutely incredible. Up there with one of the best I’ve ever eaten

Had a lovely evening here with friends last night. Relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the food was delicious and varied. Everybody was happy with their choice, will be back!

Friendly waitress and quick service. Nice hot curry and Naan bread was delicious 😊

This is my first time here I have been to many curry restaurants in Peterborough but this is by far the best. Amazing food the service is second to none.

Very well prepared meals with great variety of dishes including vegetarian and vegan options. Warm and cozy atmosphere with great service.

We thought the reviews were fake but the food was excellent. Lovely manger Good food Ipa on tap

It’s a great please with family. The food is stunning

Had a fantastic delicious meal at the spice affair on my visit to peterborough with family and friends. Best place for Indian delicacies.

Great place lovely fresh food and Great service and staff 😀

One of our favourite places to eat in Peterborough. We've eaten in the restaurant and had takeaway. It's well priced and the food has been amazing each time. The atmosphere in the restaurant and the service is always great. Highly recommend!

Great food.chicken lollipops and biryani were both on point authentic but different.will definitely come again.10/10 for the service.hidden gem of Peterborough.

Amazing food, greatly recommend the Green Mutton Curry, I would upload a photo but I ate it far too quick

Loved the biryani and starters! Must recommend for dinner and lunch. Amazing service 🙂

Fabulous food and fantastic service thank yous! A mid-week booking for a large group. None of us had been to The Spice Affair before but I suspect whenever any of us are in Peterborough again we'll head to The Spice Affair knowing we'll get a great meal, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and be well looked after.

First time eating here on a recommendation from hubby's work mates. Absolutey fantastic food, and extremely friendly and efficient service. I will definitely be back again.

This restaurant is the best Indian restaurant ı have ever visited. I definetely recommend this place to everyone.

Found them by chance in 2022. Have been visiting them ever since. Mr Bhushan is very welcoming person. Authentic Indian taste. Keep it up.

This is a hidden gem in Peterborough. The menu contains standard list of favourites from your standard curry house, such as tikka masala, bhuna and madras. But what sets this restaurant apart are the Chefs Specials, Biriyani and Goan dishes. We ate from the set menu. We had a good variety of starters which were all superb. We chose Biriyana, Lamb Buna and Goan Shark Curry as our main. The food was delicious and I'll definitely return to try some of their other curry dishes. It was a quiet night. I'm sure on busier nights the score for atmosphere would be higher... but i haven't experienced that.

This was our first visit, we will definitely be returning. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food is out of this world. Hidden away in Priestgate, this beautiful restaurant is worth a visit. We couldn't fault anything

I was so impressed by the service at spice affair. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating but not overbearing. The food came promptly and portion size was just right. The food was delicious and I didn’t feel sluggish after eating . Prices are also reasonable and the ambience and decor was nice. It was also very clean. I’d highly recommend Spice affair for anyone considering going.

This place is hands down best indian in peterborough and surronding area ive never had better incredible food

Great food the hole family enjoys it

Brilliant service beautiful place food is so lovely definitely be coming back

Great food, great service and well priced. Very happy.

The food was lovely, we had a really nice evening for my birthday 🥰 a little gem hidden in the centre of Peterborough, definitely recommend!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. The kids loved the hot chocolates! Thank you.

Relish times ... with loved ones ... tasty cozy and welcoming..

One of the best Indians I have ever eaten I would tell any one to come here and the set menu on a Wednesday and Sunday is a great value for money

Manager was very abrupt and rude delivery drivers were waiting for orders and were ignored even after politely asking how long for the order and were met with a rude response appalling the female staff was very nice and apologetic for the behaviour of other staff

Excellent service, very dynamic menu & good vibes. Looking forward to coming back!

Excellent food, just a little slow on service but highly recommended

Great ambience, best Indian restaurant in Peterborough.

Very good meal, the taste is present. Quality service. Well placed for my work week next to the hotel.

Awesome food. Recommend the naans, really good.

A lovely place serving authentic Goan cuisine. Ordered the Garlic pork and Pork vindaloo. Both the dishes were delicious and the meat tender. Great service by the staff too. Would definitely be back again

I really enjoyed my meal, I actually think it's one of the best curries I've had in Peterborough. it's not the usual Indian style food and there's some very different choices on the menu. definitely worth a try! I would come back 😋

Great meal, Some fab dishes. Chicken in the mixed platter was a bit bland and dry. But apart from that great service and atmosphere with very nice food overall

Excellent food. Best Indian food in Peterborough. Love the hospitality from staff. They always cater for my special requests. I highly recommend for everyone to try the food.

Best Indian cuisine I’ve ever tried! I will definitely be back once we visit Peterborough again!
