Abingdon Spice in Vale of White Horse

Useless driver, food tepid on arrival after 2.5 hours of ordering!

Delivery Service was amazing food lacked flavour and it was full of sugar

this is absolutely the WORST indian ive ever had, i bought the prawn madras with sagg rice. was not curry consistency, it was a pool of oil with a bit of chilli tomato liquid on top. tasted like chili oil that may have looked at a tomato once. the prawns were chewy, not normal prawn chewy they were hard to get through. and the rice did not taste like i expect sagg rice to taste like, if was literally just normal rice with too much green herbs on top, not pleasant. i couldnt even get a couple bites through because it made me feel ill and still does an hour later. we couldn’t even feed it to the dogs it was that bad, wed be doing them a disservice. then they called to see how it was and we told them. they refused a refund and asked for the curry back??? im sorry who does that. DONT GO HERE!!

Worst vegetable biryani I've ever eaten in my life. It was saltless, full of turmeric and no flavour of biryani masala. Not at all authentic taste and not recommended for vegetable biryani.

Nice people running this place. food good

Incredibly poor delivery service. Took 2 hours to arrive, even though email confirmation stated 1 hour 10 mins. No updates to any delays. Had to call restaurant twice to enquire. Will not order again.

Best indian in the locall area ...great food ...prompt service ....the BEST

Overall taste good but was luke warm

Good food, great service and reasonable prices.

This was our first visit, and it won't be our last. The food and the service was amazing and very reasonably priced. My mum has already decided what she's having next time😂

Absolutely terrible. I had to drain about half small cup of grease out of the sag aloo. The chicken jalfrezi was the worst, no sauce just bone dry chicken, pepper and onions with rouge chilli’s! So greasy it turned my rice yellow. We both just put it in the bin!! We felt that we needed to let the restaurant know so called them and they said that they would give us 20% off the next time we order . We will never see that 20% because they have just lost two customers. Go to Mahee it’s much better quality. I don’t know how they felt that they could send this quality of food out to people . worst Indian meal I’ve ever experienced and believe me I’ve had a few

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

We did not eat there but the staff are absolutely the loveliest people in abingdon i went in to get a glass of water when it was completely closed and locked and they got me one with a friendly smile 😊

This place is nice, since some changes were made it's definitely improved and the food is really good. The staff and the restaurant are fantastic however sometimes I do think they need to have a bit of a word with the people delivering the food. That's the first time I got this it was a bit bashed in. But the food itself is actually very very nice and has a lot of decent flavours and cooked very well. As I had some bad experiences with the actual delivery of the food I decided to just go and collect the food when I ordered from here and I have a good experience every time. Also if you want to eat in it's very nice The staff are very intensive and the portions and for what you get are very good you walk away very full and very happy.

Hi I’m a regular customer at Abingdon spice, Their service is absolutely professional and about the food they always make sure the standard and quality. I personally like there tandoori items, I’m a big fan of there tandoori chicken the way they present it’s wonderful. Always had a good experience with them. One of the best food in Oxford. The best thandoori in the town aswell.

Thought I'd give Abingdon Spice a try after reading positive reviews. I ordered and collected a takeaway meal; Chicken Pathia, Bhindi Bhaji and Pilau rice. There's only one word for it - Disappointing. The Pathia was lacking flavour and spice with only a few small pieces of dry chicken and the Bhindi smelt and tasted of old cooking oil. The restaurant area looked tired and in need of a face lift, as did the staff. Wont be going there again.

Always lovely food. Have used many time.

Excellent food and nice service

Always hot and fresh. Lovely friendly staff. My favourite takeaway!

Very tasty food, if I had to complain I would just say it’s a little greasy but still tasty all the same

What a beautiful place of Abindon city of this indian restaurant.I have done a dinner with my friends.it was a great experience.and this restaurant food was delicious and perfect combination of taste🥰

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.

Order ready on time, great food and fantastic service 👍

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!

So more and more with most Indian takeaways I’m having is a lack flavour. The Korma from this restaurant was watery and lacked any flavour, I’m guessing to save money it’s watered down. The Korma sauce was not pleasant. No flavour at all. And top of that our whole meal was cold on delivery. On this occasion very unhappy with the meal. Just my experience on this occasion.

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! 🤣

The podina was very spicy and tasted nothing like mint? The tikka main wasn’t recognisable as tikka? Not sure If order got mixed up? Was late when we ordered so re-delivery not an option. Chicken tikka masala and cheese naan were nice.

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

Really great food delivered hot and quickly

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

Although the food is generally ok for the 3rd time my order was not complete, they did send out the replacement but by time it arrived rest of my food was cold. I wanted to put in my complaint on just eat where the order was placed but the restaurant was clever and removed the item from my original order so I couldn’t choose the item missing button!! Well done Abingdon Spice I think it’s time we found another place to order from now. My custom to you is finished…..

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!

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

Dont even bother. Food was over an hour late, the restaurant staff were’nt helpful at all.

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.

Hard to find our address but they made it. Great food.

Delicious food as always, definitely worth the wait!

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

Notification to say food left at 7pm. 1 hour later at 8 pm our food arrived. Everything was cold. i ordered a chicken curry that lacked alot of sauce, most of which that was there was oil / ghee. Defo never ordering from here again!

Absolute top notch food, delivered on time, driver was lovely (our house is not the easiest to find!). As ever, the food was piping hot and super tasty. Won't use any other Indian resturant...

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 food, excellent service

Ordered it at 17:30, for a 18:30 arrival. It arrived at 18:45. Food was still hot and very delicious.

Part of set meal (rice) was missing. Also sent red sauce and not mint. Did not answer phone when I called so have approached Just Eat for a refund. Thank you for your patience, the form would not let me specify that only part of the set meal was an issue.

The mixed grill was missing a Nan bread. The aloo gobi was all large chunks of potato and no cauliflower… taste was nice, chicken chatt had no chicken….. bit sad as first time I’ve used them in a new house…..

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

My lamb was very good soft and tender . This is my usual

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.

Really late delivering despite having 90 mins to deliver. No communication and had to chase. Then the driver took 10 mins trying to find us despite having very clear directions and a sign on the gate. Just dreadful.

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.

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

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.

Really delicious! We ordered for collection and would absolutely order again. :)

All tasted of grease. And the tikka masala was watered down and had a burning taste . The 'korma' was not a korma it was brown in colour and tasted of practically nothing. So disappointed won't be coming back

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

The Chicken Tikka Massala had no flavour, the lamb special dish was oily and greasey, very dry lamb with no flavour. Sag paneer was watery with no flavour, almost as if it had been frozen and defrosted. Bombay potatoes no flavour. So very disappointed.

Lovely food, very quick delivery. Not massive portions but enough

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

Good tasty food, delivered on time.

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

Very good as per the last time I/we ordered from them.

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.

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.

A really nice Jalfrezi, saag rice and vegetable curry. Would happily order again

Brilliant experience tonight with Abingdon spice, I almost phoned up to say thank you! I’ve never had such quick service (being told delivery would be at 6.20pm and it arrived promptly at 6pm), a lovely guy coming to the door and overall food was lovely. Thank you so much for a great service

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 🍕❤️👌

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 🤮🤮

The rice was wrong, ordered keema but got garlic.

Lovely food , Speedy speedy service

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

Food tasted amazing. Good quality ingredients clearly used. All food was very hot even after driving it home. Would definitely recommend and order again

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

Great food, arrived sooner than expect

The food was mostly sauces with something substantial in between. More like a soup with bits in it. And the poppadum was broken pieces of burned something unrecognisable and the onion salad came in plastic bags. Really?

All aspects of this restaurant are excellent! The quality of food is great and the chosen menu was even better than expected.
