Deshi Spice in Bedford

We’ve tried many Indian takeaways in Bedford but Deshi is by far the best. The food is always consistently amazing.

Well cooked and tasted amazing

Delivered nice and hot by a friendly driver. The food itself was really tasty and a fantastic meal - from the breads to the curries. High recommend.

Food was great but delivery was 30mins late. And we ordered for a specific delivery time with 1hour and 30 mins notice.

Delicious hot food delivered on time. Never disappoints.

Great night thank you! Shoutout to Hussain what a legend give that man a raise ❤️❤️❤️

All of the food was freezing cold, except for the salad, which felt warm. My wife tried to resolve the issue with the restaurant, but they hung up on her! If the issue could have been addressed amicably, we might have considered trying again, as we've had good experiences at the restaurant before. However, the abysmal customer service now completely puts us off from both takeaways and dining at the restaurant.

Lovely place to eat and drink with friends. Will visit again for sure. Would recommend

chicken was dry and tough, Masala sauce wasn't anything special. Left overs from the night before?!

Lovely food, delivered on time and tasted great!

Normally really good and high standard but tonight the chicken in both curries were incredibly stale.

The curry is lovely and hot the best curry in bedford.

it's not helpful to put a really late time (even later than it said before I ordered) and then bring the food loads sooner.

The biryani was very good and warm and they were kind enough to give some popodoms aswell. Thank you very much

Gorgeous cosy restaurant, came here for the first time with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved it! Amazing well priced food and lovely staff.

Hussain was lovely. Food was fantastic. Would recommend highly

Great food and lovely staff. Hussain was excellent, attentive and kind. We regularly go to deshi and will continue to do so!

Food great, also nice to eat in….. but always amazes me when you don’t get popadoms when you spend a decent amount….. seriously they probably cost you pence to make but adds so much value to customers. Especially when your competitors do it.

Venue: well presented and clean Starters: special mixed grill, absolutely tasteless, full red colouring, no spice, overcooked tough lamb, very disappointing Main: Chilli and Garlic chicken, again, tasteless, no chilli or garlic in the sauce, green chillies laid on top! Saag Prawns, 4 prawns served in a stringy spinach, again, lacked spice, ginger and garlic. Naan, freshly made and probably the nicest thing we ordered! Being Indian, we asked our food to be authentic. I’m totally baffled how anyone can rate the food higher than a 1, we were watching dishes being served, I’m sorry but no Indian dish is red. It seemed like something out of a jar is being used! PLEASE do something about your food, it’s letting you down, I’m not at all surprised we were the only Indian customers you had.

Lovely food and perfect delivery!

Christmas lunch at Deshi for the 4th year running. Great welcome, superb food and service. We often visit during the year and have take-aways too. My fave place to eat. The staff are fantadtic and attentive but you never feel presured. Thank you Deshi, happy new year

Ordered 4 peshwari naan and only 1 arrived. Gave them a quick call and they straight away rectified it no ifs or buts. Top service. Its the reason I only order from a very few places now. This place is top of the list.

Great night Hussain was very hospitable

Great food and service, Hussain was a great help. The starters was Devine and the main matched my already high expectations. I will be returning soon.

Had a very lovely experience at Deshi grill. Great food and service staff were very polite and welcoming. Will definitely be back in the near future. Merry Christmas

Went for a Christmas date with my girlfriend. Very nice food with excellent service from Hussain. We highly recommend going here.

Great food. Great service from Hussain.

Food arrived late which I can live with, but Onion bhaji's without mint sauce, is just unforgivable.....;-(

We went here yesterday with our family and friends and we felt as if they were not happy to serve asian customers. Food we ordered was nice except paneer tikka as it tasted coconut gravy which is unusal taste for paneer tikka in a indian based restaurant. We asked them for high chair for my child they said its booked and cannot provide us thus my child had to eat on his buggy and their booking did not arrive till we left the place. My question is why the award winning restaurant do not have extra high chair for toddlers?? Is the child supposed to eat in buggy even if its not in use?? While we eating it seemed like they are rushing to remove our plates so that we leave early. Anyway when we were leaving I thanked and said bye but one of the member did not respond and I felt really weird because I guess this is not a customer service.

The service and food here is always outstanding. Great atmosphere and so reasonably priced. We had a lovely waiter, Hussain, who was so attentive and even offered us a complimentary drink at the end of the night. The best Indian food in town!

Amazing food, really fresh and great service. Will be going again soon

The food was lovely and hot asusual absolutely enjoyed our meal thanks again.

Very tasty, good value Indian food. Delivered exactly on time. Will use again!!

Made a booking and had to cancel it. He literally hung up the phone on me after saying im sorry i need to cancel the reservation, horrible service!

Exceptional in every way. Very highly recommended!

Great food great service! Always perfect here 👌 Hussain and Ahad were the best

lovely food always hot best in bedford.

I had an exceptional dining experience at Deshi Spice Restaurant in Bedford. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the well-appointed interior and spotless cleanliness, which set the tone for a delightful meal. The food was a highlight, showcasing genuine and authentic Indian and Bangladeshi flavors that truly hit the mark. Each dish was bursting with rich, well-balanced spices, and the portion sizes were just right—offering fantastic value for money. Saleh and his team delivered outstanding service, combining promptness with a deep knowledge of the menu. Their passion for their restaurant and their commitment to delivering high-quality food and service was evident throughout the evening. If you're looking for a place that offers delicious, authentic cuisine with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Deshi Spice is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

Steaming hot, generous portions, very tasty!

Extremely dissatisfied with quality of food this evening, all dishes saturated in sauce of which the consistency was very watery.

The butter chicken was too light in colour and lacked flavour. The other curries were also tasteless . Ive tried this place twice now and it’s the same story.

the worst food I ever had , it caused me food poising I. the name of chapati they send half cooked ready made chapati,chicken tikka was just chicken pieces marinated in some masala and fried very untasty .and the daal was nothing but half cooked daal which was not cooked enough to be edible so they granted it and send ...how people could this irresponsible when they food to people ,I hight recommend this restaurant to serve healthy authentic food at least fully cooked. very disappointed

I have eaten here for the first time and I really enjoyed it. Hussain has been very attentive and provided a great service. Will definitely be returning.

The best Indian food in Bedfordshire! Highly recommended.

Excellent food as always but I'm liking the new menu. Really tasty

Fantastic evening at Deshi. Only ever ordered takeaway, but sitting in was next level! Wednesday banquet for 15£ per person is a bargain so much food and all. All fresh and hot…and tasty! Service was top quality all the guys were chatty and attentive. Ahad was brilliant chatting with us at the end. Even with a massive table in they still looked after us well. Will 100% be back soon!

your curries are always nice and hot could not fault the meal excellent.

Had the butter chicken and the chicken tika massala , both dishes were extremely bland . Very disappointed seen as they have an award , I have had alot better from other places in bedford . I am disappointed with that because it's not a cheap meal

Had a great first time visit with the family. Food was amazing, service top notch. Looking forward to our next visit!

I tried a chicken Bhuna for the first time and it was really nice! I wasn’t so keen on the Tikka masala as the sauce was really sweet, still nice but not as much to my tastes. My fiance enjoyed his curry too :)

Great authentic Indian food and top service. Food came quickly and was fresh and delicious. Lovely restaurant decor and friendly staff, especially Hussain thank you!

Great food and lovely service! Will definitely be coming back again soon. Hussain especially made us feel very welcome 👏🏼

We came for some food and had a delicious meal! Excellent food, superb service. Definitely coming here again!! Thanks Hussain, great service.

Tonight we were served but Hussain and the service was impeccable and the food was really great and he even offered us complimentary drinks which was a nice surprise. My Frist time coming here but will definitely be coming here again.

Portion of starts was small veg curry lacked flavour and my husband’s very spicy curry he likes them hot was not spicy at all

First time from here, top notch curry and service. Probably the nicest I’ve had in Bedford.

Absolutely delicious and hot ! Meat was tender so we were happy x

Food was excellent and service good, however think they had far too many bookings tonight as we booked 19:30 and they were asking us to leave at 20:40. Did get the feeling we were being rushed through whole meal, which spoilt the evening. Suggest they think little less on how many covers they can cram into an evening and little more on customer satisfaction. Would I book here again....not sure! If I did I'd clarify how long I had table for and make it clear that offering a complimentary drink to get rid of me is bit pointless if I've no where to sit and enjoy it!

After many takeaways from Deshi spice I decided to eat in this time and was not disappointed. Excellent service was provided and Excellent food received

Another wonderful meal, full of flavours and beautifully cooked.

Amazing quality food filling and arrives hot an all round five star

Absolutely delicious food as always. Nothing comes close to the curry from these guys! 10/10

great food, delivered quickly. probably the best takeaway Indian I've ever had.

Found Deshi Spice searching online, turned out to be the highest rated in Bedford. Lived up to its exceptional reviews - delicious food, first class service and great atmosphere. Proven by how busy it was but no loss of attentive and charismatic staff. Highly recommend and will be back.

Came here tonight after we googled "best curry house in Bedford". Truly lives up to its reviews. Excellent food - not greasy and tasted lovely and fresh. The highlight was the service though. Really friendly and genuinely seemed like they wanted you to be there. Looking forward to returning!

Best takeaway we have used Great Food always , arrives quickly and hot ! Never go anywhere else now

Very tasty, as always. Delivered piping hot.

Sag paneer was very strange and didn’t taste like paneer at all, more like cheddar. Inedible

1st time visit and will definitely be back. Genuine welcome, lovely restaurant, food is superb and service was helpful and friendly. Great experience of how an Indian restaurant should be run.

Delicious food, delivered piping hot. Perfect takeaway.

Arrived on time, everything was there, food was hot and good quality.

Asked to make all dishes hot and spicy / went the complete opposite!! So bland!!

Asked for split payment from the beginning and ended up racially profiling group of 6 and treated us like thieves. They took full payment before even serving us which is unheard of even after showing them a corporate card with British pounds inside. Very bad service till the last moment where they tried to stop us from leaving after paying because one guy was washing his hands so he was last to pay. (so silly) At the end they gave us a piece of chocolate and we gave it to the homeless.

Tasty, non greasy Indian. Fast delivery. Bit pricey but you get what you pay for

Amazing food. So tasty. I would definitely recommend 👌

Lovely place, amazing food and the service was great. Definitely recommend it and will be back. Can see why they have won so many awards. Also very good value for money

Absolutely beautiful food! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. The Goan fish curry is my wife’s dish of choice, having chosen that on all three of the visits we’ve made to this restaurant. I have thoroughly enjoyed their traditional biryani dish & the last visit I had a lamb shank dish that was possibly the nicest Indian dish I have ever had in a restaurant.

Food was great and very affordable. Service was very quick and friendly from Hussain. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Great Indian restaurant in the heart of Bedford. Friendly staff, nice environment and delicious food! Will definitely be visiting again!

lovely service! we were served by a great guy Hussain - he made our evening so lovely and easy, the food was on time and the customer service was excellent.

Charming atmosphere, excellent food and friendly staff. All round a lovely experience. My favourite dish so far is the Lamb Bakara.

Delicious food coupled with excellent service. One of the best restaurants for Indian food in Bedford. They’re fusion options are also a great choice for those seeking something different! Will be back for certain! :D

Great food! You can taste the spices clearly and the food choices are varied. The rezala was excellent. My starter was great, very original- the deshi mixed starter. Onion bhajis were ok. We will be back.

Very friendly staff, really good food and a great selection. Couldn't be more attentive, but equally not always hovering at the table.

10/10 all round. From starters to dessert lovely dishes. Friendly staff very welcoming. Will be coming back again for sure.

Amazing meal. Great service, highly recommend sizzler chicken. Ahad was great!

Dropped in without a booking and was accomadated without a fuss. Lovely food.

Really enjoyed that. Nice Madras, Cheers 👍

Excellent food. Highly recommended

We ordered a collection for 14 people, comprising a range of plates and styles. We thought the quality was exceptional and would thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food, great service and overall just a brilliant experience. Lots of choices for Indian food in Bedford but this one should be your first!

got text to day was on way 45mins before it turned up....cold!!

Surprisingly delicious and tasty. Will definitely order again soon.

Lovely atmosphere! Hussain was a lovely host and food was delicious!!

Great service with excellent food!

Amazing food very tasty. Had a delivery a d was still hot when arrived

Delicious, as always. Delivered early, friendly pleasant delivery driver.

I been today inside there food was lovely and service is 10/10

Food ok but basic, not as good as I had been led to believe it was lacking something maybe i ordered the wrong things. Just ok in my opinion

Great service, a very warm welcome from all the staff. Fast, efficient and friendly. Clean & beautiful interior. Food was delicious with a nice Bangladeshi kick. We had king prawns jalfrezi & chicken shaslik buna, special rice and keema naan.. all cooked on point!
