Albany Spice in Hounslow

Absolutely fantastic as always. Thank you Albany Spice ,you never disappoint. Lovely food and brilliant service . Hope better times are coming

Arrived in Brentford and needed to eat but not in the hotel. Checked local listings and this came up highly rated. Strange as no drink licence so you visit the shop next door and brink in a take home bottle. Hence some trepidation but food and service was excellent and the price very reasonable.

We have just finished an amazing meal at the Albany Spice. As seasoned Yorkshire curry eaters of many decades, it is hard to find an Indian restaurant down South that knows had to do proper curry. At last, we’ve found it. The food was fabulous, from the popadoms and pickle tray to the garlic chilli chicken which I was bowled over by, and my husband’s Murgh Masala (chicken and minced lamb), we have entered heaven!! Staff lovely, restaurant clean, service impeccable. Alcohol bought easily next door but one. The waiter provided a glass of ice to assist with the non-chilled cider and wine.Nothing was too much trouble, the staff could easily work at a fine dining establishment possibly even teaching them a thing of two! Don’t delay, go today and have a wonderful experience. We got chatting to a local family, a black cab driver, they were equally bowled over. A nice touch in any restaurant is when the diners end up chatting together.Keep up the good work Albany Spice and we hope to be back down in London and we’ll be dining soon at the Albany Spice. Thank you to the team there.

I have left very positive reviews of the Albany Spice before. It is normally our go to place for get togethers after work. We arranged a post lockdown get together, 10 friends, 2 tables with social distancing a priority. We arrived at 6.30pm and to circa very long story short..the mains were brought out about 8.30, mostly burnt and tasteless. But that was not the main problem, usually the food is good and perhaps the chef has changed! No, the main problem was, not one staff member was wearing a mask every table was full with very little distance between them! Waiting staff leaning over ...far too close for comfort. I was very nervous and wished I had not agreed to come. Im afraid this blatant disregard for customer safety will mean our custom is now lost to Albany Spice. ☹

We have eaten in at Albany Spice a couple of times before lockdown, and always had a great meal.Will do so again one day soon.Their delivery service is very efficient and the standard of the food is still top-rated.We ordered 5 mains and 5 sides plus sundrys and every dish was great.Too much to eat for the 4 of us, so finished it off over the next two days.Five stars seems high, but there was nothing they could have done better.

We were visiting the area and looking for somewhere to eat. Looked on TripAdvisor and noticed Albany Spice had good reviews.Ordered a meal for two; portion size substantial, quality exceptional and prompt delivery. We have eaten from Indian takeaways and restaurants all over the country and this is one of the best.Only negative: we wish we'd tipped the driver. Sorry.We rarely leave reviews but this meal was definitely worth writing about.

Our first meal (takeaway) from this restaurant and absolutely delicious. £27 for two dinners, and the portions were so big I won't have to cook for the next 2 days! This is definitely the best Indian food in Brentford.

Our first time using Albany spice for a takeaway, we weren’t disappointed.. the food was beautifully cooked & full of flavour.. the spicing of the dishes were spot on.. it’s our definite go to Indian takeaway

Our first meal from Albany Spice. The food was fresh and tasty. We particularly enjoyed the chicken biryani, onion rice and saag bhaji. We hope to return to the restaurant when lockdown is over.

Really great curry also does takeaway. Does not serve alcohol but you can buy from the shop next door. Recommend the Black Dog pub next door before or after.

We had a lovely meal, delicious and subtle flavours. Very friendly staff who were attentive and helpful. Il

Excellent local curry restaurant. Lovely flavours and tastes very fresh. The BYOB works well and well so does detract. This is looking a strong candidate for our local curry house!

Ordered the chicken pathia extra spicy and extra sweet and unfortunately the sweetness was lost in the spice. Still very tasty though. Service was excellent even though they were super busy! The coffee after the meal was outstanding! Best coffee I’ve ever had! This restaurant is BYOB but there’s a shop next door.

Super food and service for boys night out. Looked after by waiting staff extraordinarily well. Will be back.

I live in the USA and get into London on business several times per year. I am always keen on a good Indian meal locally when I am here. Brick lane which has become too commercialized, is also an hour plus away, so I decided on the local.This was my second visit which I undertook in order to make sure that my first impressions were borne out. I really enjoyed my first visit and was equally as impressed the second time. Albany Spice is an unlicensed restaurant so if you want alcohol with your meal, you need to pop next door to the off-license. They will very kindly provide you with glasses at no cost.This allows them to concentrate on the prime function of a restaurant, which is top class food. The Peshwari chicken which they recommended and cooked for me without onions (my pet hate in any dish) was just the perfect blend of spice and flavour. I could not have asked for anything more delicious. Definitely a third and more coming.

I visited this restaurant in October with my friends and we order lot of take away as well, always good and fresh.

It's so hard to find a decent Indian restaurant in Brentford. After finding this one I certainly will be ordering again. My order came quickly, was still hot and absolutely delicious.

On arrival we received a warm and genuine welcome. The menu is extensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we didn’t feel rushed but staff were attentive and friendly. The food is excellent, really good quality- would definitely recommend.

Went here after a football match and had a really good meal. It’s not licensed which I didn’t realise until we’d got there but there is a an off license next door and we were given and opener and glasses by the staff. It ends up making the bill a lot more reasonable!!

This place is a must visit. It is busy and located in a convenient place with public parking outside. It’s not licensed but it is BYO. Great great service from the front of house staff. The food is amazing with bursting flavours. See you again soon.

Staying at the Premier Inn opposit and read the reviews here. It was very clean, warm and friendly staff who are helpful with the menu. The food was lovely, wonderful selection too. Poppadoms a little pricey but fresh and crisp. Really enjoyed our food and so glad we went rather than a chain restaurant etc. Also lots of regulars inside eating which is always a good sign. Wonderful

We are staying at the Premier Inn just across the road and a fella staying there told us about this place ..So pleased he did ..The food was lovely ..The restaurant looked lovely and clean .the staff were very pleasant ..Chatted while we waited for food.Wish they were my local ..if you are in the area give these guys a visit .you wont regret it ..Thanks for a great meal

Me and my family just found out about it through Google for my father in law's birthday . Food was very good and service was excellent as well belongs to hospitality industry I was highly impressed by their service . Thank you Emran & Mohammed from lovely service and birthday ice cream .

Came here for a weeknight dinner. Poppadums, biryani and lassi were all tasty, and not overly oily. The food arrived quickly. Overall excellent and highly recommended.

Booked just 2 hours before and they found us a table. Good quality food and very tasty. Fresh vegetables used in my Aachri veg curry and partners Handi King Prawn curry was delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Have struggled to find a good Indian takeaway but Albany Spice was amazing. Great food excellent value and service..

Had a fantastic meal at Albany Spice Brentford. Would recommend anyone wanting a good curry gives this restaurant a try. Will be going back next time in London.

Had a great meal here whilst in Brentford, fast service, and very reasonable price, very limited parking. Does not serve alcohol, but there is store almost next door, no corkage charge. Fast service, recommended

Visited Albany Spice for the first time with my parents who came down to visit me at university, this is by far the best curry I’ve had around here, also excellent service from the waiters Mohammad and Imran, will definitely return soon!

Small and friendly restaurant. We were in on a Friday and the place was buzzing. They also were doing an astronomical amount of home deliveries. The food was well prepared and of a high standard. They don't have a liquor licence so go to the supermarket 2 doors away before you go in.

This place is excellent when it comes to customer service and delivering good products. We’ve had a few curries delivered which was on time every time and piping hot.

Very dissapointing after high expectations, ordered a lamb curry and asked for it to be medium hot,was told they do it hot, it arrived looking yellow, not spicy at all and the actual meat pieces were bland, I ate it with rice which was worse as I tasted nothing. Won't be ordering from there again.

Seriously good takeaway!. Each dish tasted fresh, delicious and very different from each other - which is not always the case! Samosas were great! While Indian food is not usuallt my first love, if I lived in the area, Albany Spice might change my mind!

Both my partner and I really enjoyed our meal. I had Chicken Jaflong which was beautifully spiced in a rich sauce with the unusual Indian pumpkin providing a bit of crunchy texture in the dish. The saag paneer side dish was excellent as was the peshwari naan. Our prawn purees were flavour some and cooked well. All in all a good experience and I would certainly recommend choosing from the specials menu.

Tasty food and good service. We had an extra person with us and they accommodated us without any problem.

I think a lot of Indian restaurants are overpriced, especially for King Prawn dishes, and many of them have in my opinion gone downhill in quality. Albany Spice is a no frills byob cafe style eaterie that delivers decent quality Indian food at a really reasonable price with polite attentive service. Good for takeaway too. Recommended.

Lovely curry. Ive now tried a few in Brentford and this has definitely been my favourite. Staff are very lovely, I haven't eaten in yet but keep meaning too.

we had several people tell us to try here, friendly staff Khan..clean neat restaurant, good portions, reasonable prices and great food! So we came on a Thursday evening and the place was quite busy. It was everything we were told it would be and more. Khan recommended dishes to us asked what spiciness we required. We had Poppodums and chutney tray starters, rogan chicken and kalari chicken, pilau rice and saga loo all. arrived steaming hot beautifully presented and delicious. the outside shopping area is scruffy but please don't let that deter you. we well recommend here

I felt I must counter the comment about £4.40 for 2 poppadoms made by another reviewer. £4.40 is actually the cost of 2 large poppadoms and an excellent selection of 4 delicious chutneys. This served as a lovely light starter.allowing us to concentrate on the excellent mains. Nice, light restaurant, lovely service, good food. Couldn't fault it.

If you are bothered about ambience this is a bit basic. But importantly the food is seriously good. Chicken and aubergine bake was excellent. Not having an alcohol licence isn’t much of an issue with an offie next door a several good pubs in the area to wash your meal down with.

I couldn't fault anything to be honest, it was a great experience, it was my first visit but not last, we will definitely return. The food is very flavoursome and service was excellent. Thanks for accommodating us.

I’d read the reviews and made a detour to go to this place. I’m not sure it was worth it, though it’s a perfectly good local curry house for those living or staying nearby. As others have said, they are keen to sell you their popadoms and chutneys at fairly high prices, which I declined, twice. Service was warm and attentive, food arrived quite quickly though I was only one of six in the place, and the food was fine. Both the chicken haandi and tarka Dahl were a bit thick for my taste, but overall it was a good meal.

The food and service is very good. However, when enquired about why I have been charged £4.40 for 2 popodoms, I was told the price is different for dining in, also they charged me for the chutney, which was not shown on the bill. Surely this must be the most expensive popodoms in London if not the whole of UK. Surely, you should only charged for chutneys if I have ordered for it, which I did not and its a normal practice to get free chutneys with popodoms in other Indian restaurants. I found that untrustworthy. Again, food and service is good but 4.40 for 2 popodoms is just too ridiculous. Do check your bill when paying.

First the good news: Very good food. Huge menu selection, especially lots of tandoor dishes and what seemed like a hundred different types of naan and chapatis. They were able to seat us quickly on a Friday night even though half the restaurant was reserved and we had not booked ahead.

Returned to this restaurant as I was visiting the area once again and I can’t fault the food, service or anything else for that matter. I also rarely write reviews so that says something in itself!

For the past 15 years I visit Brentford for work. Until now I always went to Brentford Tandoori for a decent curry. Sadly it has closed down, so based on Tripadvisor reviews I tried Albany Spice. I booked online via their website and they replied within 15 minutes.

Staying at the nearby Premier Inn I went prowling in search of a takeaway evening meal. I approached the Albany Spice situated 300m from my guaranteed comfy bed with limited expectations. The restaurant is located in a 60's designed parade of somewhat rundown shops. However it boasted a 5* hygiene rating so that was a good start. The prices were very reasonable for London £7:50 for a main dish; but the proof of any menu is in the eating. I ordered naan, poppadoms, chicken tikka Biriani, and chicken shuslak. Portions were large and delicious. Excellent food served by very friendly staff. Highly recommended if you are in the area and feel hungry.

Well recieved withough having made a reservation, we were seated and the dined with delight - even better this being a BYO.!

I wanted to change, for once, eating an Indian meal in a restaurant I've never been before.

Employee are friendly , helpful and smiling. The food amazing !! Probably the best I have eat in my life.

Wonderful evening and food, staff were great and the food was amazing; piping hot and full of flavour.

We are a group of retired women who meet to celebrate birthdays and special occasions . The Albany Spice serves up delicious food and because it’s BYOB suits our pension purses very well !

We placed an order for delivery for mother’s day and the whole family enjoyed their food, especially my mum we was all very impressed, food was so tasty and satiating

Very tasty royal chicken with rice jus a quick teatime treat while working away but I would come again recommended Thanks

First class service. Lovely waiters. Food delicious and a reasonable price. They don’t have an alcohol licence but more than happy for you to take your own.

I went to a family birthday gathering on Sunday 3rd March at this restaurant and Emran could not have been more accommodating. The restaurant does not sell alcohol but they are happy for you to bring your own plus there is a off licence a couple of doors down.

After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor - including one that explained they were glad they had booked I decided to look at their website and sent a request at 4.40pm Saturday 02.03.19 for a reservation for 8pm that night. The response was within 5 minutes - yes!

Small unassuming and BYO but well worth a visit. Incredible quality curries and good service. I ordered Chicken Pathia with interest (as I’ve had a few of them in my time!)..... one of the best I’ve ever had,

After local restaurants closed down due to the Brentford regeneration ie: Sami's Spice and Brentford Tandoori, I searched for another one. I was not disappointed when I found this one. We went in at 5.30pm and was lucky to get a table without booking. It was St. Valentine's day. Everything tasted good for both of us. Bonus of byo for economy, and no corkage fee.

Consistently good, take away is just as good too. Friendly staff. Never had a bad dish, my favourite is the murgh Masala, but so many other good things too...king prawn bhuna, saag bahji to mention a few. My go to Indian but if you like butter chicken, the Guru's is delicious.

This is a 5 star all round restaurant the food is amazing and super Value and the customer service out of this world and the toilet clean and fresh and the restaurant very clean and tidy the food feels like it’s from heaven

We have been fairly regular since it opened. Not easy to get properly spiced curry in this area. Usually the food is OK, nothing exciting but particularly good breads. Lamb can be a little sparse and hard but as I said it is OK and handy. However last time we went we were charged 2 quid for a chappati. Anyone can make a mistake so I questioned it as the menu states 1.50. They insisted they cost £2 each. We paid and it may sound trivial but £2 is ridiculous. We are not even charged that in Central London. We will not return.

Good value for dinner, especially as BYO, but a little disappointed in lack of spiciness for an authentic Indian restaurant, maybe chose badly as food was more creamy than spicy.. Service good but a little intrusive. Recommended for its value and quality of food.

Si aucun autre restaurant indien est ouvert à proximité, vous y mangerez correctement seulement. Les serveurs sont symathiques et efficaces. Si vous désirez de l’alcool (bière,vin,....) vous devrez l’amener

Booked by a friend for our party or 12, and I wasn't impressed by the look from outside, but Wow, the food was good.

Lucky to get a table on busy Saturday evening. Fast, friendly and efficient service with interesting menu. For me, the highlights were delicious onion bhajis and the best saag aloo ever.

Booked in for a meal after going to see the football at Brentford. Very friendly and welcoming staff, food was great and very reasonably priced, would definitely go again. Just be aware that it doesn’t have a drinks license, but you are welcome to bring your own and no corkage charge ... if you forget there is a shop next door!!

Very hospbital and welcoming. Interesting menu with Kashmiri and Malay options. Sag paneer was really tasty with a different spice mix than your usual Punjaby flavours. My Dad really enjoyed the mixed grill.

Prima Indiaas restaurant maar weinig gezellig. Er wordt geen alcohol geschonken maar in de supermarket naast dit restaurant kun je je eigen wijn en bier kopen en hier bij het eten drinken.

This small unassuming restaurant is in a small local row of shops opposite a hotel near the river. There is a licenced grocery shop further along the parade where you can buy your beer if you haven't brought any with you (as they are not licensed so don't sell alcohol). The food was superb, so tasty and authentically Indian. Service was impeccable and very attentive. They were delivering take-away and these were streaming out of the door. Very clean. Highly recommend this one.

We booked a table for 5 people last night. To start we ordered some poppadoms. The was fresh and had a nice crunch to them. The side chutneys were extremely tasty, full of flavour!

I’ve been there many times with my boyfriend and I can say that they provide excellent service and the food is delicious and well cooked this restaurant is been one of my favourite to go for a dinner and have a great time .

Very very delicious the food was very tasty we ordered last night quite a lot and it was very good it’s my new favourite takeaway curry place. The lamb chops where perfect and full of flavour lamb madras tender lots of sauce and I don’t usually like chicken korma but this one was really good full of coconut the paratha nice and crisp and the nann bread how it should be I defiantly would recommend and the prices are very reasonable

For as long as I can remember I’ve never been a fan of Indian food I’ve always been a Chinese restaurant/take away person so I was a bit wary about trying indian food for the first time at Albany Spice, but I was totally blown away by everything, the overall look of the restaurant is very clean with a calming setting,the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing so full of flavour and very filling. From now on Albany Spice will be a restaurant myself friends and family will be eating at on a regular, and i would highly recommend as a place to eat at if you are ever in Brentford, this restaurant is goals!

Surprised by its location, set in a quiet square that’s a car park but probably the best curry i’ve had in a long time especially around west London. Fresh, not greasy, BYO, cheap but high quality and very friendly staff. Always busy so must have a great reputation and deservedly so

food was very tasty, staff are extra friendly and advise which dish are nice if you are unsure, very clean restaurant. would come here again 5*

Everything lacked salt, the tarka daal had no salt in it at all. It all looked nice but alas tasted bland. I’m not from this area but if I was I wouldn’t order from here again, sorry.

My husband and I ate here recently ... we brought our own alcohol and they didn’t charge corkage .... I had dal for the second time here mainly because I had to go back and have it again !! The food is always very tasty , really well seasoned and spiced and the dal is particularly delicious- and I’ve tested a few !! Staff are always friendly . Parking is free in the square after 6.30pm .

Friendly staff, fast service, generous portions and very tasty food. This is our treaty restaurant in the area for when we fancy indian food. Recommended!

Excellent food and service. It was very busy but by the time we’d bought our wine our table was ready! We hadn’t booked.

This has been a favourite of my friends and I for a while. The food is excellent, generous, and reasonably priced. The staff now know us, and are very accommodating. It can be busy during peak times, so it is advisable to book.

If you are in a hurry and want to eat well, this is a good place to go. Large menu to navigate but the waiter will advise you. Reasonably priced.

Albany spice is just off Albany road in Chiswick Brentford area near the Brentford FC stadium. It’s a small, clean restaurant with excellent service and affordable food. All of the familiar choices are on the menu. The lamb vindaloo was delicious and well spiced, it was very spicy as I like it but not painfully so. All the other parties in attendance were well pleased.

A great place to eat close to where we were staying. I was impressed with the polite and very personable member of staff who called me back when our table was ready (after I called earlier when it was full).

Could not this place. Friendly, attentive service, very reasonable prices and good sized portions. Plenty of.alternatives for us vegetarians. Even air-con on a very hot evening!

could not fault this wee gem of a restaurant the real mc coy very helpfull staff with really good sugestions and quick service

Really delicious food and polite and friendly service. We have had take aways from here a couple of times now and always thoroughly enjoyed it. We plan on eating in here next time we eat out.

This is our favourite place to order home delivery as we live nearby, the restaurant is decent if you wish to eat in but please ensure you reserve as their seating capacity is not very big and they can get booked up really quick. There are plenty of parking spaces just in front of the restaurant.Their Biryanis are second to none in the Brentford area and among the best I have eaten around West London, that is considering the amount of Indian restaurants around Southall and Hounslow.

We were there without reservation and tried various Naans, tikkas, curries with lamb, chicken and veggies. Overall a very good quality for fair prices. You can bring your own Drinks without additional charge. Professional service. We will come again

The reviews do not lie and this is deservedly the best restaurant in Brentford.

Fantastic food, great service, highly recommended. The chicken naga was one of best I’ve ever had, the fish pakora was also delicious.

Good quality food all tasty. Attentive service too. Fair price if looking for a quick meal with friends.

This was a business dinner in a restaurant being in a small mall. Good service, reasonable prices and variety of choices.

We were down in Brentford for the football, Sheff Utd at Brentford., visiting late on the Saturday evening.

Ordered a takeaway last night from here and the food was incredibly delicious and it was piping hot. The delievery driver turned up earlier than expected. I also had a very nice long convo with the young patient chap who kindly waited as my husband had to get the cash from the cash mashine. He recommended for us to visit the restaurant and eat it, we sure will!

Stopped by for late dinner, and they were very courteous in letting us sit and eat even though they had to stay back late. The food was great. Cooked fresh and spicy to my taste. Service was very friendly and attentive as well. If you're in the area, you should definitely give it a shot.

We first discovered The Albany Spice in August 2017, and also went there again in January and we revisited the Albany Spice last week. In fact we went two nights out of the three we were staying in West London. Once again we loved the menu, loved all the food and the service is always friendly and efficient. Pricing is very good and the bring your own booze works for us.

We stayed at the Urban Villa Hotel and had read that this restaurant was local and very good. We took our own drinks (from shop next door) and was made very welcome. The food was very tasty, hubbie had Ginger Chicken and I had Paneer shashlik - yum ! A great meal, good service and would defo recommend if you are in Brentford !

In an unassuming parade of shops is this remarkably good Indian restaurant. Expect a wait for your food, but tuck into the poppadums, and don't forget to buy your wine or beer at the convenience store next door as they don't have a licence. The food is freshly prepared, very tasty and very good value. I'll try it again, soon!

We were staying at nearby Urban Villa hotel and needed somewhere within walking distance to eat so found this restaurant in google maps. It’s about ten minutes walk away. As we neared the place I wondered if I’d made a mistake as most places were take outs and the area not that salubrious. When we found it we received a warm welcome from the waiters. And comfortingly it was obviously frequented by local people which is always a good sign. The food was fresh, nicely spiced, good Indian food … I’m from Bradford so I’m a reasonable judge. The pickle tray was generous as were the following dishes. My dansak was pretty much perfect and my partners dishes were equally good. It’s not licensed but a quick trip to the neighbouring off licence solved that potential issue. The waiters opened our bottles for us and had recommended we pop next door if we wanted alcohol. The price was £32 for poppadoms, starters and a main course which I thought was good value. All the staff were courteous and pleasant and were obviously pleased to help with anything. Overall a lovely little place and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
