Abingdon Spice in Vale of White Horse

The food is fine, the service is good I like the Nan bread. Lamb baryabi is not that good; the meat could have been MUCH better.

We went on a Tuesday night their banquet night, were the only people in the restaurant apart from one other couple, I think I now know why! The front of house was unfriendly, unwelcoming, did not listen and was ignorant. We felt that despite being responsible for two this of their takings we were not welcome, we were an inposition, they could not get out of the door quick enough. Their front of house staff are damaging their business, change is urgently needed.

I work as a Michelin Guide listed chef/ business operator. I can say this place is top for all, they go above and beyond in their remit and punch well above their weight. Staff on top and food good.

The level of care and quality of this restaurant is unmatched in the area, top quality food, service and price!

Takeaway- wet, flavourless curry. Ordered a butter chicken-it was bland and more like a korma. The rest of the family unfortunately felt the same about their curries. Disappointed, especially as this took over an hour to be delivered.

That’s any other food, but not indian food! 🤣

We regularly visit here especially on a Sunday night. Food is great. Nice atmosphere and well worth a visit. Worthwhile spending an evening here.

We are a party of 4 men in our sixties and we visited Abingdon Spice Indian restaurant last night, Sat 13 Jan 24. We had a lovely meal, obviously cooked by a very good kitchen team, and delivered by attentive waiters. A very big thank you guys, will be seeing you again soon.

This spot is great for a chilling experience with friends if you like Asian food. Staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend once if you are in and around Oxfordshire

I'm writing this review after several visits to this restaurant, I'm pleased to share my experience here that they have been amazing with the quality of the food they serve. A variety of delicious Indian and Bangladesh cousins are available at reasonable prices. I recommend everyone to explore this once if you are in and around Abingdon area.

This is my third visit in the restaurant this year.the food was incredible and amazing.staff were very friendly and helpful.top recommendation

Very good party for tonight. We have been 41 people have a cantering party. All food was very good and all staf behaviour was very good. Thank you abingdon spice

Never written a review in my life but this was that Terrible it has forced me too. Lamb was so chewy and curry so tasteless I’m not even sure what I was eating. Portions massively reduced to normal. Must be a change in kitchen stuff as normally very good. Avoid!

Ordered aloo paratha and mango pickle , where the parantha was bulky dough and instead of pickle was given chutney. I clearly mentioned about unsweetened curry but the curry was added lotsa sugar. Would not recommend ever.

Had a take away....normally I like this place but tried the veg curry side dish and tarka dahl. Truly awful, I have never before not finished a curry but I guess this is a first. The veg curry was so oilily I had to drain it, then it proved to be so bland it was like they hadn't even added any spoces. I have used this restaurant for years but tired of the oilly takeout food they seem to increasingly send. Think I have had enough of their food now

By far the worst experience ordering a takeaway I’ve ever had. On the phone for 20 minutes trying to order. Finally ordered, it arrives 2 hours later. 30 minutes before arrival I called and was told it had left and was on its way. No surprises when it turns up cold. Bonus for not including the rice and the food being bland. Delivery driver was rude to say ‘well you won’t be charged for it’ (was paying cash upon delivery). That’s not the point! Moral of the story, order from Dil Raj as you know it’s great and reliable.

Excellent restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed the banquet night (Tuesdays & Sundays) meal I had. Started with a mixed platter, then chicken jalfrezi, pilau rice, & cauliflower side. Kingfisher on tap too. Service was good & efficient. Visited again and enjoyed the main Jalfrezi dish. I'm getting slightly disappointed with the poppadum starter condiments. What I expect is mango, and tamarind chutney are a bit on the 'thin' side. The chopped onion option is not that exciting, and there is apparently no mango or lime pickle.

Excellent meal,very tasty, will definitely order from there again

I visited with a large group of colleagues. Things were decently priced, food was good, service was efficient.

Good food ,good service, kids ate well aswell.

This place provides some of the best food I have had in a long time. The food, delicious and incredibly good value, was accompanied by a great atmosphere and very welcoming staff.

Even the onions on the poppadum dip tray were bland. No salads on the menu. Raita and other sauces far too sweet - I actually had to use salt to make everything less sweet. Husband ordered a 'sizzler'... What came was a non-descript curry in a sizzler dish. It was not in any universe sizzling or like any other sizzler dish in any other Indian restaurant. The 'sizzler' came with "your choice of bread" - ordered a garlic nan with it. A garlic nan was delivered along with a plain nan. When we commented there was a large commotion in which all the waiters insisted that we ordered two - it was easier to say 'fine' than argue. I ordered Paneer Tikka with a side salad. The tikka came with a salad - not explained by the waiter. The side salad came with frozen peas. Still Frozen. The paneer was ok. Service was OK and most waiters friendly and cheery apart from the guy taking the orders who was dour and unhelpful. Overall, pretty much the worst Indian food in the region. Bland 'flavour', no finesse, nothing outstanding, dirty ladies loo where the sink was full of yukky water so couldn't even wash hands. We went for the good reviews but will not be returning. I felt sorry for the Australian couple next to us who had obviously made the same mistake.

Great food, great service 👍 Do it ! Lived in Abingdon many years and always go to Abingdon Spice to Spice up my weekend.

Staff are very friendly,food was really great.top class friendly service and value for money.all the dishes were well presented.well recommend

Best food in Abingdon area. Reasonable price. Good service.

Best food. Best service. Great price. We always go here. Very good parking area. Free of charge.....

Boom! Hands down the best Indian food in the Don. I'd given up on Indian restaurants in Abingdon after a series of bland, watery dishes from various restaurants around the town, but last night a friend suggested Abingdon Spice.. I was not let down.. Deliciously rich flavours clearly homemade, beautifully soft, charcoal blistered naans, friendly staff, quick service, and reasonable prices too. I think Abingdon Spice might be my new favourite takeout in the area.

INCREDIBLE!!! I had a great experience and have never had a curry so amazing in my life. I was especially impressed the handsome young Fahad Ali who made my time here impeccable, 10/10

Dined in on a Sunday evening. Food was really bland and tasteless. Dishes lacked spice (not just talking about chilli) and very tight on the prawns. Ordered a mango lassi and was then told they were too busy to make it. Won't be returning.

Absolutely delicious food! Went on Sunday for the banquet, there was an impressive amount of food, the flavours were beautiful, friendly service and calm atmosphere, best Indian food I've had in years! Overall very impressed and will definitely be going back again! Highly recommend!

Really very savory cuisine staff are amiable and order was timely also the price is reasonable .....

Abingdon Spices 💙 The food is absolutely delicious, the price of dishes is absolutely reasonable (considering everything is freshly cooked) and the staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive too 👌🏻 There's literally nothing to fault about Abingdon Spice, and the whole experience is perfect 👍🏻 A great local treasure, and the best Indian restaurant in the town!

I'm personally very impressed with there behavior. Always got my expected pleasure by their services as from serving the food timely to keeping the instructions i provided. Specially there chef special foods like butter chicken, tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala are so yummy and tasty. 100% recommended no one gonna feel regret if anyone taste there foods. Hail 🙌 Abingdon Spice❤️💜 At the end, plz always keep the food quality maintained as like now 🍕❤️👌

The food was delicious. All meals were tasty. Will definitely come back and recommend you. Thank you

Good Indian meal and nice atmosphere. Madras was a good spiciness.

Really Bad Experience, As i am indian i can tell you they made Ridiculous food. I ordered Manchoorian they gave me Mix Veg Curry . Really Bad food 🤮🤮

Really good and affordable restaurant. I am really impressed with them

The owner delivered curry to Culham mx track and it was top class. Food was top class and service incredible

Been ordering food from this curry house for years. Sometimes delivery & sometimes takeaway but always been a good meal & very well priced for the quality of food. Looking forward to my next meal which will be a sit down at the restaurant. Would highly recommend for curry lovers.

Excellent service food and value for money

Very average food. Soggy chicken tikka starter and naan bread wasn't right

Amazing food and friendly staff!

Went on a Tuesday night, attentive service if a little grumpy… food was ok - not the best, not the worst.. average chicken tikka - nothing to shout about really. Naan really didn’t have any garlic on it… will Probably try somewhere else next time

I ordered a take out and I collected it. The food was cold the Naan bread was hard and tasteless. We didn’t eat it and all went to the bin. Won’t be going back there again.

We ordered a take-away from Abingdon Spice recently, the food was delicious! Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and vegetable curry. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices, usually delivered within the hour.

Ordered food at 1830. They very quick to take payment. I was assured that delivery would be no more than an hour. By 1955 I had to call them to cancel the order as I needed to return to work. Customer service could do with some improvement too. Still waiting for the refund to be returned. Azeem is better by a long shot. I won't be returning here again!!!

Delicious food. Really enjoyed it! Great service. But if you’re going to buy your drinks from the local spar for £1.59 then re-sell on your website for £3.50-£4.00 for a small 1.5L bottle at least take the price off so your customers don't know they’re being ripped off. Isn’t it illegal to do that anyway? Could be wrong.

Very good food very tasty and friendly staff

Best Indian restaurant in oxfordshire.good food and good service and friendly staff.value for money as well. I really recommend

Great meals with pipping hot plates, just as a meal should be served, 6 adults and 2 children, we all had the banquet meal deal, all very tasty. We will be returning again.

Very disappointed. Really bland rice (egg & mushroom fried rice. Bhajis tasted like they came out of a Tesco packet. Sauces not bad but gristly chicken. Spent over £30. Overall 2/10.

This is our go-to restaurant in Abingdon… the staff are very friendly, service is very good and the food is wonderful; the most beautiful, delicate flavours. In addition, The prices are very reasonable… you will not be disappointed.

Surly waiter - food appalling, could make better at home - avoid!

We felt unwelcome , the waiters being offhand to the point of rudeness. The food was thin and tasteless. I will not be going back.

Excellent food, just the right spice, good portions and plenty of garlic! Ask for paneer if veggie

Great Service about food and delivery

Poor attitude and response to a delivery that was over an hour late. Weren’t interested in trying to help and hung up the phone. Customer service is everything. Very poor.

Very pleasant setting excellent service and above average food. I particularly liked the way unusual sauces - beyond dopiaza, bhuna etc - were available, and you could have many of them with duck, which is not a meat that is supposed by some to be unfriendly to the environment.

We mostly have a delivery from Abingdon Spice , but now and again we go to the restaurant. Food always amazing. Good value you need to try Ali front off house, great service i have tried all the Indian restaurants in Abingdon and Abingdon spice...

One of my favourite curry houses in Abingdon. Great value banquet nights.

So far the best Indian I have had here in Oxfordshire. Quality and quantity are amazing and the delivery was quick and efficient.

Good value for money. Friendly staff and lovely Sizzling Duck. Fresh meals made of good quality products and Indian's traditions.

Great food and service. £12.50 deal is really good value!

Good, tasty food. Friendly Staff.

Great Indian food. Second time in past couple of years I have been here when visiting Abingdon. Great service and even better food. Awesome

Good food. Good service. Will vist again.

I have eaten in all the Indian restaurants in abingdon and the abingdon spice is on top. The food always consistent and tasty, great service in the restaurant and top delivery service, Ali always the best. Food last night was Awesome 👌

Amazing authentic Indian restaurant! 🇮🇳 The food is absolutely delicious, the price of dishes is absolutely reasonable (considering everything is freshly cooked) and the staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive too 👌🏻 There's literally nothing to fault about Abingdon Spice, and the whole experience is perfect 👍🏻 A great local treasure, and the best Indian restaurant in the town!

Excellent Indian - great portions - the tandoori chicken jalfrezi is excellent as are all the lamb based curries. Service impeccable

Great Indian restaurant, food very tasty and consistent, good portions, well priced menu and drinks. Staff friendly and restaurant very clean. Recommend

The four of us were all super happy with our food. It was hot, delicious, well presented, and plenty. The staff were friendly and forthcoming. A lovely experience. Four happy smiley faces after a great meal.

We went to the banquet evening. It was fantastic value for money. The food was super tasty and full of flavour. The staff were very happy.

Last night we had a family 60th birthday party at Abingdon Spice we had a lovely time. The food and service were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. A Big Thank you guys.

Great food and fantastic service from Khaled and co

I ordered for delivery and was pretty disappointed. The food was good, however, the delivery took a very long time and when it arrived it was cold and one of my items was missing.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Good and service. Would visit again and recommend.

Our takeaway last night took over an hour to arrive, and it was cold, very greasy and tasteless. So many choices for curry in Abingdon, but we certainly won't be using this takeaway again.

Decent food and service, reasonably priced; seemed very quiet, possibly just because it was a Monday evening.

Very tasty food though very quiet on the Friday night I went. Not a bad price and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

I would put 6 stars if I could. Amazing succulent food, extremely welcoming and helpful staff. Th place was super packed so the service had a little wait but then again it is a dining experience you are looking for so that did not take away anything from the perfect experience we had!! Can not recommend enough

Very plain food with no spice at all. Won't ever order here again

Great food, nice portions with lots of flavour. Reasonably priced and right in the centre of Abingdon. Polite staff that will go the extra mile.

Good food. Slightly overpriced. And quite a lot of oil in the food in general

Went on their Banquet night. Food was amazing and staff were fab. Couldn’t fault food and service at all. My only small comment would be the price of red wine …. Can get in Tesco for £5… just a bit too much of a mark...

Excellent meal, very friendly staff, great service thank you.

Most dishes cold when received. Chips are not chips, they are a bag of cold soggy fries. Just overall of a poor quality and definitely won’t try again.

Very good food, excellent service, very reasonably priced. Will go back

Great meals (very tasty), great service, good price and looking forward to returning back regularly now the lock down is over.

Excellent fresh food! Really enjoyable...

We visited during the week to celebrate my partners new job and the staff were fantastic as was the food. Our new favourite Indian!

Just go. Food excellent, staff excellent. £4 a pint of King fisher, you really can't go wrong. Can't recommend enough.

I can’t fault this restaurant for takeaway food, we had Prawn Dansak and mushroom rice and Vegetable jalffrezi with pilau rice ,naan bred and popadum. The food was excellent,piping hot and very tasty. The service is great people friendly Thanks

Absolutely BRILLIANT......I cannot eat very spicy food but if you mention this Abingdon spice are very understanding an cater to your tastes

Fantastic food delivery to night.really fresh and amazing.very good value for money as well.thank you very much Abingdon spice

Had a takeaway last night ordered the same as we always have. This time the food was bland no flavour. It looked nice just didn’t taste nice. Was delivered well in the time just disappointed.

Ordered a takeaway for delivery tonight from our usual restaurant. Was told delivery would be 1 1/4 hrs fair enough for Saturday night and ordered at 6pm After 1 3/4 hrs had to ring the restaurant as delivery hadn't arrived. Arrived at 18:50 but cold...
