Very nice Indian food. Definitely worth trying if your ever in Peterborough

Loved the fact that the indian food was served in a hot plate ..it was not too spicy ..not blant - but just right ..! as an Indian foodie i would definitely visit again to grab my plate of biriyani!!

Good service, Great food, really enjoyed the meal! Will visit again, one of the fine Indian cuisine restaurant in Peterborough,definitely a must try!

Excellent food, great service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The food was flavourful and was a very good portion size. The service was also impeccable.

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!

Best Indian in the entire area!

Lovely food and great atmosphere, even on a weeknight

Amazing hidden gem, delicious food and lovely staff.

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

Not usually a review guy, but wow.

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.

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

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

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

Great place lovely fresh food and Great service and staff 😀

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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 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.

A surprising little gem hidden away and well worth a visit for a special night or their special offer menu. Different offerings as well as the familiar options

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

We ate at 1498 The Spice Affair on a recommendation from a friend and it was one of the best things we did in Peterborough. The food was delicious and both the quantity and presentation were 10. The atmosphere is calm and the staff very attentive!! We will return!!

Passing through Peterborough and saw the reviews, so thought it would be the best place to have dinner. It did not disappoint at all. Dishes on the menu that we've never seen before and all extremely tasty. Lovely atmosphere, setting and service. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend.

What an amazingly friendly restaurant! Beautiful authentic food, great team of staff and lovely surroundings. Perfect for a casual dinner or a date night! Top class and will definitely return!

sensational curry after being stuck in peterborough by lner

I've been on the hunt for a decent Goan restaurant since I moved up here & I'm delighted we found 1498 The Spice Affair. The food certainly surpassed my expectations & I will be coming back for sure! Forgot to take photos because I ate everything so quickly

Our meal was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic, the staff were great and helped us to choose things that we hadn't tried before. The atmosphere was lovely. A wonderful evening had. Would definitely recommend 👌

Great food and Service. Everything is very authentic. Glad I tried this place out.

Great place, with excellent food and lovely service.

We came here due to the great reviews and it did not dissapoint! We got the mid week menu which was great value, we had a starter a main courses ans 3 side dishes to share. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asked for advice, and we had some typical Goan dishes which were all absolutely delicious- and the right level of spicy for me. It was a little quiet as it was Sunday evening, but the place was very welcoming and the background music was pleasant. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it!

Really nice phall food is excellent thank-you 👌 update I returned this year also (2024) visiting Peterborough again with my narrowboat, and the food/service was as excellent as before, highly recommend this place, loyd and his chefs will make the curries tailored to your heat taste, for me the hotter the better,but maybe not for some.

Very good food especially lamp chops !!!

Absolutely love this place! Nice, welcoming atmosphere, very friendly, professional staff and finger licking cousine, this time I ate yummy lamb chops and delicious butter chicken with pilu rice served with coconut and cherry nan bread 😋🤤 In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in the area! 😊😊 Highly recommend 👌🏼❤

Nice food , Good Quality and Taste is like wow. It's hard to get indian taste in Peterborough. Highly recomanded this resturant if want good taste and Good quality .

Group on ten for a birthday meal Saturday night. This was a Wow factor of our weekend in Peterborough. The best food we have had in a long time. From starters to main & the drinks were flowing the wine was lush.just a shame we didn’t get dessert.but would highly recommend hope l get to come back as we are from pontefract West Yorkshire

Best place for a curry in Peterborough hidden gem best naan I’ve tasted

Best Indian food in Peterborough!

A spicy and fantastic experience!

Best place in peterborough for indian cousine...❤️❤️❤️

Nice place!!! We really enjoy this indian restaurant. In my case, i ordenered butter chicken and was delicious! A real special place!

The Best place! The food amazing!

Stumbled across this restaurant while wandering anround Peterborough. I’m so glad I went in. The food here is amazing! Very friendly and helpful staff. I would Highly recommend.

Very nice place and the design is amazing with nice waiters would recommend 👌🏼

Beautiful place and stunning food

Wow, have just returned from 1498 having had the best Indian meal. The service was attentive and even on a Sunday evening the atmosphere was welcoming. Now for the food. We went for the set menu, starters of venison kofta and king prawn were fantastic, full of flavour and tender. The wifes prawns were the best. Mains, I had green lamb curry which was warming (heat wise), and you can still taste the lamb. Gorgeous. The Mrs had chicken saag which she very much enjoyed but she admitted I did choose more wisely. Even the Bombay Bicycle beer was a good accompanyment to the food. If we return to Perterborough (we are from Kent), we will return to this gem of a place.

First visit won’t be the last amazing food staff extremely friendly and the owner who’s the chef came out to talk to us .please everyone visit x

I had amazing experience.atmosphere was good and food was delicious

THE BEST CURRY IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!

Starter of mixed poppadoms and goan flaming black pudding was delicious, it arrived at the table on 🔥. Mains of green mutton curry and chicken biriani again brilliant, tasty with spice but not too hot. Cherry and coconut naan bread was perfect. All accompanied with a pint of Bombay bicycle ipa Services was great ,atmosphere was relaxed and the food is well priced. Peterborough is spoilt with this restaurant!!

I recently visited this restaurant with a couple of friends and had a great evening. The staff were incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and with the light and relaxed feeling, made our visit extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend.

7.30 on a Friday evening we went into our first Goan restaurant. Surprisingly, as it was still early, there were about a dozen tables already in full swing. We were greeted warmly and taken to our table…that gave me a very good view of all the tables in the section, the bar and the kitchen entrance. Nothing gets past ‘Eagle Eye’! The ambience was elegant and spacious. Nothing and no-one seemed rushed. Everything was immaculate! The menu sheet ‘sparkled’. To start with, I have to say that neither of us could choose just one dish from the menu in any section. So, we ordered 3 starters – and shared. We followed the starters with a pork vindaloo (him) and a hare stew, coconut rice and a couple of vegetable dishes. We didn’t share the pork – I love spice flavours but not ‘heat’ While we waited for the starters to be readied – we had a selection of popadoms - (never had varieties before) - with various sauces. Not having encountered Goan flavouring we had decided to try only things that were new to us. What a great decision. Our plates were wiped clean! The smiling waiters looked after us like old friends and were happy to tell us about the restaurant, the food and how they came to be there…an unassuming but pretty entrance in a cul-de-sac, down a side street off the main square in Peterborough. Who knew?? Bhushan and the team are so knowledgable and keen that the diners enjoy the food, we had an amazing evening. The next day, on the way home to Suffolk – we decided to go back and stay overnight again in Peterborough – just to go back to The Spice Affair. We cannot recommend it enough.

For a treat this is a great place, absolutely lovely food and plenty of it, a little on the expensive side.

Sri Lankan fish curry was delicious.

Great place, awesome food ( Lamb chops are highly recommended) friendly attended service. We will definitely be back.

What a lovely restaurant , food is amazing , staff great , if I was going for Indian again in the area I wouldn’t even look elsewhere
