Dalchini Spice Exclusive Indian restaurant & Takeway in Central Bedfordshire

Ordered our first takeaway from here. Service was good and it came when they said it would. Food on the whole was good but felt that the samosas were not good value for money and you only 2 small ones and seemed like a shop bought frozen variety and not fresh traditional ones like the picture on their website. Also found the chicken a little dry, otherwise a lovely meal.

Had a lovely meal with great service.

We had a lovely meal! We will be back again

Such an amazing meal , so tasty just as amazing as the takeaway ! Highly recommend 👍🏼 Reza was a lovely host

Quality food, absolutely delicious

Tasty food with reasonable prices. Waiters were short staffed and ran off their feet a little when I visited but kept up with the large order very well with little to no mistakes. Lovely mood lamp for the table which I particularly enjoyed.

Food was very delicious!!!! Service very good, couldn’t do enough for ya. Very handy that the bill comes with a note at bottom telling you average per head

Lovely tastie food, good atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive, and loved the fact that the bill was split easy for a large group,

Had a lovely dinner with my wife. The Aloo Dahn was incredible.

Food was ok not fresh poppadoms brought out wrong rice twice but no dramas but don't like service charge on bill the food in this country is expensive enough without adding that on to bill this is England not America where there food is cheaper and waiters should be paid a wage in this country

Nice welcome & attentive service. Good menu width a great value set meal price (weds night) First time eating in as usually get takeaway. Will go back!

Another great evening thank you for the lovely food.

Fantastic restaurant with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.

Fresh, tasty and delicious food. Service was faultless. Highly recommend the lamb Roshini.

Food was amazing. Friendly staff, quick service when we got seated, but slow with checking after eating and asking for the bill. Also would be nice if they repeated our order mr to make sure we ordered correctly.

We keep returning to Dalchini Spice because of the amazing service, delicious food and great value for money.

Lovely food attentive service. Good value especially banquet night.

A great experience, as always. Delicious food and they always do a special not on the menu. Very accommodating and attentive - highly recommend.

Excellent food and service... as usual.

Simply superb Indian restaurant! Enjoy a lovely evening at Dalchini tonight. Exquisite & lip-smacking Lamb Jhalfrezi, with Naan fluffy as a pillow, accompaniments and sides were also excellent. What makes this place really stand out is the host, and really wonderful atmosphere they've created in the restaurant. Thanks Dalchini!

First time of visiting but it was already my preferred takeaway. Lovely restaurant with great service. Tried the Roshuni Modhu, which was delicious and my very picky nine year old also enjoyed the food, which is high praise indeed. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great service and tasty food as always

Beautiful and divine see you next time! Thank you :)

Lovely food as always. highly recommend

Thought we would give them a second chance but worst curry I've ever had from them. Clearly, they can't cope with the amount of takeaway orders even though the restaurant was quiet. From ordering to collecting, including the extra waiting time as my order wasn't ready, was 1 hour and 30 minutes. The food itself was bland and lacked any flavour. The onion bhaji's were simply disgusting and not edible.

Came here for a spontaneous night and the food was amazing and the staff are so nice and helpful and attentive if you are in the area you definitely need to come and give dalcini spice a try I even ended up coming home with a doggy bag xx

Amazing food. Tandoori Prawns were to die for. Also the staff are very attentive and accommodating- thank you. Highly recommend

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and kind waiters who looked after our little boy and us. Thank you

Amazing food ,great staff fantastic . Will be back again for sure

Lovely friendly staff, great service, amazing food. Will 100% be back again and again.

First time here. Really nice. Will come back next time

Banquet was good value - so much food! Professional and attentive service.

Friendly service and amazing food. We've had takeaway and eaten at the restaurant and we're always impressed with the flavours and variety.

Lovely dinner and friendly service as always!

Best Madras always here. The place to go in Shefford and surrounding areas.

Shared a lovely meal here with my husband. Friendly staff, attentive and great atmosphere.. will return

Lovely food and excellent service - thank you

I have come to the restaurant multiple times and both times the service and quality has been amazing highly recommended

Had a lovely time ,excellent food and welcoming /helpful friendly staff

We've just had a delicious meal at Dalchini Spice where we were greeted warmly followed by attentive but not intrusive service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was lovely, however, found out when paying the bill there was a 10% service charge which wasn't anywhere on the menu. If your gonna charge a service charge, it needs to say so somewhere. Indian food isn't the cheapest anyway so having to pay another £10 on top for a service charge is not on!

Went for a family meal service was quick, always a bonus with 2 children. Food was very nice

My family and I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite ordering chicken momo, we received spicy chicken wraps instead. When I inquired about the difference, the waiter confidently claimed it was a unique and different style of chicken momo they do in Bangladesh. Though surprised, I chose not to make a fuss. Later, I discovered the waiter had either lied or was uninformed about the menu. Their online menu also reflect different on their website. This lack of transparency left us feeling scammed, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone due to the dishonesty in their service. I expected a more professional response when addressing a genuine concern. Dismissing my feedback as a "fake review" is disheartening. A simple acknowledgment of mistakes would have sufficed. The lack of accountability reflects poorly on your customer service. (People Check photo for my receipt just to prove its not a fake review) Also let you know i got bigger things to do then write fake reviews on your resturant!!!

Busy on banquet night, but still great service and delicious food

The best food and service, thank you! We'll be back!

Great food and atmosphere! The staff were very friendly. Will be coming again soon!

Great place, been coming over 10 years, staff very friendly deserves to be Top restaurant throughout Bedfordshire.

Ordered food for delivery on Sat 27th Jan 2024. We ordered a meal for one (my son) at 19:05 and were told it would be with us at 20:00, which is was not. I called back at 20:15 and was told the car had broken down and they have a replacement and that he could see the delivery driver was 5-10 mins away. We waited another 40 mins and I rang to cancel the order I was told again that the order was just minutes from the door! I said I would give it 3 mins and was then going to order elsewhere. Which is exactly what we did. At 21:05 there was a knock on the door and there was the food we ordered 2 hours ago 🤣. I refused the order and told the driver / waiter I had ordered elsewhere. He apologized and said we are very very busy tonight as if that was an excuse. So not only were we lied to about where the food was but also the excuse of a car breaking down was also a lie. They were clearly busy and not coping. We ordered from Henlow Tandoori and the food was ready in 15 mins for collection and it was fantastic. I will never use Dalchini Spice again as this in now the 3rd time they have done similar regarding orders.

Brilliant meal! Food was so tasty and all the staff very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend 👌🏻

Friendly staff, delicious food, a very welcoming family-friendly evening for our children and my wife and I.

Food was excellent but payment process was a real hassle. Prices on the menu did not match what was listed on the bill we received. Bill was only available together and hand written.

Lovely food, friendly service, definitely visit again

We had a table for 9 people squashed together asked for a another table to be pushed together but it was refused even though the restaurant was empty. Very rude. Be warned if you choose the banquet nearly everything comes with extra charges. Even the rice is extra if you don't have pilau. What extra does it cost for a different rice???. Nann bread very bland and tasteless Not very friendly service be careful of all the hidden charges they did explain at the beginning but it is very confusing and get very rude when you don't understand.I notice similar review left 6 days ago. Would definitely not return

Very modern and food was excellent

I've always collected my order but today I had it delivered. When they read order back over the phone it was correct but when we got it something was missing. When we called the man on the phone was so rude and unprofessional did not want to sort the issue. Will no longer be ordering from them again! Still waiting for the text message to confirm the order and I don't see how it can be a fault of mine. The way we was spoken to was disgusting multiple calls were made to try and resolve the matter but everytime you spoke to us it was very unprofessional and rude. Had you handle the situation better a review would not have been left but you left me with no other option with how you handled the situation.

Great food, great service. Lovely meal with my family thank you ☺️

Lovely food, lovely and friendly will definitely be back!!

Not visited Dalchini for many years despite it being local. This time it was good to receive the food items that we ordered (not the wrong ones like the previous 3 visits years ago). The food was delicious. One improvement would be to label their menu with basic allergens like gf and df as the waiting staff cannot tell you what dishes contain what.

If I could give zero then I would be! Absolutely appalling service from these guys. Big table booked and they told us we couldn’t have any more tables or chairs to accommodate us all. They left us all squashed together until we complained. All members of staff were extremely rude. We ordered food then when taking they started adding prices and said it is a new menu then they went to get us new menus. But they were going off the old menus trying to add prices. On the new menus there were no additional prices. When asked they couldn’t explain themselves. Food was ordered and took an hour to come out. Bought out half the food and left all the kids and rest of family without food for another 45 mins. We complained again and told it was coming. 10-15 minutes later it arrived all stone cold…. Kids still haven’t eaten! No apologies or anything at all from anyone. They reheated the food in microwaves it wasn’t fresh! Anyway we asked for the bill and we found out there was additional prices added on to the bill! They said we charged u for dips which we never asked for and pay for extra bits! When questioned they said that’s the price! Absolutely fuming at this time! After us all complaining how terrible the whole evening was they decided to take a little amount off but nothing to what it should have been! Make sure you add up what you are ordering and check your bills! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE THEY TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYONE AND THERE MONEY! WE WILL NEVER RETURN!

Friendly staff and lovely food 👍
