Eastern Spice in Calderdale

Authentic subcontinent food at very reasonable prices.

Mouth wateringly authentic food, service and atmosphere, unpretentious and friendly.

Food was nice but the Asian guy runs it was very rude and unprofessional arguing with customers and being mean to waitres won't be coming back

Where to begin, oily greasy poppadoms, brown tasteless yogurt sauce, both curry mains were absolutely tasteless and needed seasoning, peshwari Nan was plain with a sprinkling of coconut on top but the rice was ok.

Zero star food hygiene rating. Flies in the kitchen, mouldy food, check scores on the doors.

Came for a birthday meal, Harris had amazing service and really went above and beyond to make our experience amazing - food was lovely aswell, will definitely be returning

Always a pleasure to eat from here Ali and his team provide the best food ever and im a real curry enthusiast . Delivered to the door with a smile even though they dont usually provide a delivery service due to ill health Ali will deliver for me . Awesome food been eating from here since they opend many many years ago . Shukriya 💖💖💖

Really tasty, cheap food. Everything else about the experience was astonishingly awful. The (probably) teenage waiter was tude, impatient, didnt know the menu, or what the kitchen had in stock. Also, no-one had bothered to train him, or tell him that he was meant to be polite to customers. He waited until after he'd insisted on bringing us 'the bill' to tell us we could only pay in cash. There wasnt a bill, just a verbal total. Our confusion and outrage was answered by bringing a menu and a calculator! We were absolutely gobsmacked and the waiter just pretended that this was all normal and acceptable service...

Awful, took ages and only took cash which they only told me after I’d sat there waiting for the takeaway. Food was lacklustre and tasteless, onion bhajis are the worst I’ve ever tasted, doughy and insipid. I will never eat there again. Luckily there is lots more choice as there are quite a few Indian restaurants/takeaways in the area so you would think standards would be higher.

First time coming here, decided to come with some friends and honestly the food here was amazing. The popadoms were spot on, food came quick and was fresh. The mains were phenomenal made with perfection and the service was amazing. The prices are cheap and is worth every penny! I’m definitely coming back for the food.

This was one of the worst take away Indian meals we've ever experienced! Despite costing us £30, most of it ended up in the bin. Greasy, tasteless sauces and the soggiest chapatis ever. Had we not just arrived in HB after a 7 hour drive, we'd have returned it all and asked for our money back. Avoid!

Well, that was a massive let down. Tonight I walked upstairs to the eating in section. Nobody else there. After a while I resorted to ringing them to ask to see a menu. The guy who served me was very friendly but, clearly had no idea a bout working in a restaurant. My popadom tasted stale, my fish starter was very over cooked and tasteless, my bread with the main course was so covered in oil that I had to dry it out with a napkin and the actual main course was tasteless. While I am all for supporting local businesses, there is a limit.

Staying just outside Hebden Bridge we wanted something to eat for a cosy night in.. Eastern Spice was a leaflet we found where we were staying so thought we'd give it a try. You will not be disappointed, food was delicious and portions were plentiful too. Staff were kind and welcoming as we were not from the area. Highly recommend Eastern Spice, we will be back for more! 5*.

Just had some great food from this place. Great service aswell. Had the chefs special. Mashallah was perfect.

Been coming to eastern spice for years i travel from Burnley and it never disappoints freshly made exactly how you want it fantastic value which helps especially these days the boys there are like friends Ali the owner always as a smile for every customer and a chat. Give it a try well worth it. Mark w Burnley.

Absolutely the best i travel from Burnley every week for the last 15years. The food is freshly made all the different meals i get taste amazing, Ali and all the boys do a brilliant job i would and have reccomended eastern spice to lot's of people. I owned my own fish and chips shop for years so I know how hard it is and I have never had a bad meal.

Known the owner of the establishment for a very long time. Ordered a chicken n mushroom madras. Always to a high standard However today the curry was very poor with little ingredients. In fact and it pains me to say !!! No chicken ! More like a soup 😞

I've been coming to Ali's Eastern spice for years, I travel from Burnley and I would travel farther to get my curry from here. Ali and all the boys are brilliant and the food and value for money is amazing. Keep up the good work boys. PS Imran khan is the Man.😉

I came here for a meal with my friends and the waiter Harris completely made our experience. He was friendly and attentive and made sure all our needs were catered for. The food was amazing i definitely recommend the chicken tikka massala it is to die for but staff were even better. Definitely recommend coming here it's a lovely environment and you will not regret it. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Harris's service and the amazing food. Will definitely be coming again x

I am overwhelmed by the service here, the waiter Harris was exceptional!! Made us feel so welcome, lots of laughs throughout and made sure everything was set to the highest of standards ! I will definitely be returning !

Oh dear. Where to begin? Something seemed a bit different when I wasn’t asked for a name or contact number on making a booking for six people, but I didn’t think too much of it. I wasn’t concerned that the dining room isn’t visible from the street, because the Tripadviser reviews were good. And although it did feel a bit like we were stepping off the street into what was basically a take-away, I walked up the stairs with optimism. It didn’t register at this point that the carpet clearly hadn’t been vacuumed in a long time. When our table turned out to be two tables which could easily have been moved together but hadn’t been, I did begin to wonder, but we took our seats. Then the worn, scruffy decor and the dimness of the surroundings became apparent, and I began to experience significant doubt. Stay or go? All the other restaurants might be full. And the food here might be really good. Stay. Water appeared, poppadoms were ordered, and then without warning, devastation: This restaurant does not serve lager. It has no licence. And only after you have arrived and taken your seat do they think to inform you that you had been welcome to bring your own. The main courses were handed to you before the starter plates had been removed from in front of you (bizarre), the solitary server walked two dishes up at a time by way of the customer stairs and rolled cigarettes in plain sight, the sink in the bathroom was cracked, the hot tap had no handle, there was no paper in cubicle two, the hand dryer wasn’t working, and mops, buckets, brooms and other cleaning paraphernalia were lazily left in view of the diners. And one last inconvenience before you can put the whole experience behind you. They don’t take cards, which they don’t tell you when you book or when you arrive. So you have to walk down to the Co-op cash machine after your meal. (If only you had known this beforehand, you could have picked up those cans of lager). And the food? Mediocre to disappointing.

This is in my opinion the best curry about. A lot of people rave about Bradford but I'm yet to have one better than eastern spice. Everyone that works there are really friendly and the owner knows his way around spinach dishes and lamb better than anyone. The chicken rolls are not something I would normally order but have under recommendation and they are something else too, really good. I always ask for large as for the extra pound I get two meals out of it which makes it cheap to eat out. Highly recommended.

What a delight! We had the weekend in Hebden Bridge and were torn between here and another local Indian but wow did we make the right choice. Now don't get my wrong i love and know my Indian food but this really was next level! We order a takeaway and when I went to collect the smells coming from inside packed a punch and enticed you inside from the cold, wet street. The two men behind the counter were friendly and we shared a few jokes. I had to comment on how amazing the food smelt as it really was like nothing else. Everything we ordered was fantastic, in particular the Chicken Koran and the chapatis! The portions were great and we even managed seconds and there was still enough left over for breakfast (yes we have curry for breakfast!). My partner and I commented on how this was possibly the best curry either of us had had and have said we would drive over from Manchester to order again. When in Hebden Bridge you absolutely must try here. You will not be disappointed. We will be back!

We've been customers for twenty five years so thought it was time to congratulate the team on their excellent establishment, never disappoints!

Excellent food from this restaurant (currently operating as takeaway only) we have enjoyed food from here for around 25 years and it is still delicious - and good value - we wish Ali, the proprietor, well in his venture and will definitely be ordering take away food again - and will visit the restaurant again when we are able to do so - thank you!

Ended up here on a Sunday night, staying in Hebden bridge for 2 nights with lots of places shut - no one in the restaurant upstairs so slightly hesitant to eat in and ordered a takeaway instead. Amazing food, the side veggie dishes did not disappoint! Great flavour and great spice, 5 dishes, bread, rice and bhajis for around £30 for 2 people not bad at all - and plenty for left overs!

Ali and his wonderful family never fail to provide excellent service and excellent food. If you want anything tweaking or adding or leaving out your wish is their command. We've been coming here for 15 years for takeaways and to meet up with good friends and the curries are just simply the best. Ali and crew long may you serve us delicious food .

Never fails, tour the world and you still look forward to a keema madras from Eastern Spice, comfort food at its best, with lovely staff.

Amazing as always never been disappointed. Service spot on and always will recommend this restaurant!

I had a karahi chicken dish last night and it blew my mind! So much flavour honestly my new favourite takeaway. Amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely brilliant as always been coming here for 25 years and not once been let down would 100% recommend anyone to here!!!!

I'll start off with a positive - the service was spot on and the youngish lad couldn't have been any more politeThe food on the other hand was absolutely shockingI never thought you could do bad onion bhajis - well, it turns out you canI never thought you could get better curry from a supermarket than you can a restaurant - well, it turns out you canBoth myself who went for veggie option and my dining partner who went for a meat option felt there was no flavour or spice to any of the dishes despite them being at the spicier end of the curry scale. In fact mine I compared more to a hearty vegetable soup than an actual curryWe were only in Hebden Bridge for 2 nights, so not sure if there is more than one curry house in a small town, but there are plenty of other restaurants and cafes in general to go to, so this one is definitely worth a swerve

Yet another delight from eastern spice tonight !!! Never disappointed with my lamb curry Asian style!! Took a feast down to my family for my daughters birthday two weeks ago as they now don’t live in Hebden, my 23 month old grandson wolfed down his chicken tikka masala shouting more more !!thanks Ali top nosh lol

I feel sorry for the locals who don't have much choice when it comes to Indian cuisine. If you think this place is good, expand your horizons, maybe visit Bradford. Nice of them to allow you to bring your own alcohol but food is basic.

We regularly have take outs here but what the Hell happened to our Friday night one? The 2 curries were lacking in taste and my peshwari was dough! At least the onion bhajis were still very nice. We had to leave our curries. What a waste of £20! Also we were told to collect in 45 mins but an hour later we were still waiting. What happened.

Like Brick Lane but the food's better.

Fantastic and great. Such lovely flavourful curries and very friendly service from Ali and family. Fish balti is the one! It’s what you need

I had purely vegetarian food; a few starters and side dish with some bread - all were great. In fact, it was the best tarka dahl I've had in years. I ate early before the restaurant was busy so Ali had some time to talk and tell me about the area.

Been coming here for years, best curries I've ever had. Eat upstairs in the new restaurant which is lovely and take your own booze or takeaway. Ali and the team are fantastic.

We have been going to The Eastern Spice for over 25years and it just gets better and better!! The new improved surroundings are atmospheric and feels like a fab night out!!

I have been going to Eastern Spice for over 25 years. Food fantastic and of course everyone who works there. It has been re furbished upstairs looks lovely and a fantastic night out.

We enjoyed a delicious meal at Eastern Spice tonight - reliable quality - friendly service and the best curry for miles! We have been eating here for 27 years - and still love it!

Eastern Spice can't be summarised in 100 words, and I can't be bothered anyway. But, essentially - if you want excellent food, amazing prices, BYOB, friendly staff who always give a warm welcome and just...something...a charm..then Eastern Spice is for you.

This is my first personal experience of eating in the restaurant, they have done a lovely job doing it up! We had poppadoms and dips for starters, my personal favorite is the lime pickle! My main was the chicken achari, which was delicious. My family also had pleasing meals. We often have takeaways from here, and haven't yet been disappointed. The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable and the food is lovely. Highly recommend!

My wife and I thought Eastern Spice was just a takeaway but we found out they had a restaurant area upstairs.

Best curry around .Best mixed grill after I've told him for 20 years to do one .and the curries are fantastic too Kindest regards Andy

Resturant area has been refurbished absolutely love it. Food is to perfect. Great staff always welcoming customers. High standards in service and quality. A place you must try in hebden.

We have eaten here a few times in the past and always felt let down. After being told that it had improved we thought we should try it again. Well. what a difference. The main eating in area upstairs is still being re-furbished but the food was amazing. The main server, Ali was courteous and helpful and well what can I say? Eat there and try to leave past memories to one side,.

My parents live in Hebden Bridge and I have been coming to the Eastern Spice for over 25 years. The food is consistantly good, cheap and you can bring your own booze. The staff are all lovely and as soon as I walk in the door I feel like I'm home.

I've ordered from here a few times whilst local and haven't yet been disappointed. My husband brought me back a curry tonight, and although he forgets the name of it, I've got to say it's a beautiful curry, which has prompted me to leave this review. I've seen some reviews on here of late that have been bad, but in my opinion I have never personally had a problem with any food from this place. It's always very nice.

If you think the combination of bleached chicken and bland sludge ladled out of a plastic jar the size of a toxic waste drum constitutes curry then this is the place for you. The upstairs lighting will scar your eyeballs, and only the uniquely bad paintings will persuade you you're not eating in a hastily made-over gents' urinal. One of the worst meals I've ever had the privilege of being able to walk away from.

It was just another rainy Sunday in Hebden Bridge and we must have walked past the place a hundred or more times over the last couple of years on our way to and from the co-op... The Eastern Spice curry restaurant and takeaway doesn't advertise nor does it spend anytime or resource attempting to lure you in to its rather shabby interior where you can buy your takeaway... We have not tried the restaurant upstairs yet!... The food speaks volumes as do any regulars you may encounter, which I did. They even advised a particular flavour 'Mirch or Mirchi' rather expensive though at about £6,,, I think not!!... We had already ordered our food, Kate had a vegetarian dish and I had my benchmark Chicken Bhuna, a dish I tend to compare any new Indian eatery by... Both dishes were very good indeed, true the accompanying raita style sauce could have been a little more subtle and the chapatti were not obviously homemade, the steamed rice was very good though. All in all it was quite lovely and at £11.50 in total it represented very good value indeed. It was the end of my Birthday weekend, most of it spent in Scarborough, including a very upmarket place called 'Jeremys' at the bottom of Columbus Ravine on Victoria avenue for dinner the evening before, that cost in excess of £50 even after the deduction of £20 for my main lamb course, which was frankly inedible. To be reasonable though my partner Kate who funded my Birthday extravaganza had eaten at Jeremys before and really enjoyed it, so perhaps they were having a bad night!!... Anyway back to the Eastern Spice, we certainly will be!!!

We tried this as the reviews were good. The decor doesn't really matter but this was too bad to ignore . I don't mind outdated shabby looks but when it looks unclean then that's not good. The Popadoms and chapatis were served in grimy looking looking plastic bowls. The curries themselves were ok , it's just the cleanliness that bothered me. As did the loo. The guy serving was lovely so I was sad to give this place a thumbs down . And I honestly do try to not be negative about places.

Semana Santa Spice es una auténtica joya escondida. No hay menú de afuera, y "Ir arriba" al restaurante; de lo contrario la planta baja es para llevar. Los menús están estratificados, barato y alegre. Así que, ¿qué es tan bueno? La comida es estupenda y te adaptarlo a su gusto. El servicio es muy amable, en la tierra. Traer sus propias bebidas alcohólicas, ahorrar dinero. Factura total para 4 adultos - 36 libras. Abrieron alrededor de 1994 creo y tienen una clientela dedicado desde entonces. Ya no vivo en MP, pero siempre vamos allí cuando visite.

Ok curries to eat in or take away

Sólo comimos aquí, absolutamente increíble. Arriba sentado con nuestra propia botella de vino, Ali atendidos cada uno de nuestros deseos. Mi marido no curry de pollo, así que pidió y patatas fritas y nos pollo tandoori con patatas fritas y me encantó. Probé el cordero tikka masala y oh Dios mío, fue realmente fantástico, tenía con el arroz con setas. No se puede quejar de la comida o el servicio. Si estás en la zona debe comprobarlo.

Been getting takeaways from here for 10 years all the curries are made from scratch no stored sauces ali the owner is great and makes the food exactly how you want it. I travel from burnley every week. Give it a go.

El mejor curry nunca! ! Y ESTOY QUE ME REFIERO soy un fanático de curry! ! Sobre cargado con carne! ! No salsa! ! ! ! Caliente y picante lo que pedir! ! ! Simplemente el mejor! ! ! ! ! !

El cordero Rogan Josh era increíble! ! Adoraba la bolsa de cebolla cruda y salsa de yogur que venía con él me recordaba de los días pasados! He hecho un punto de conducir a repetir la experiencia y encontramos la comida a ser tan sabroso! Prefiero más delgada chapatis, pero aparte de eso, bien hecho! !

Grotty little restaurant serving bland, tasteless food ... not very good at all, other than the popodoms, which were fabMy chicken pathia, whilst supposed to be hot and sour, was so mild as not to be able to taste any spice, and sickly sweet from what tasted like sugar !!Others in my party had similar complaints about their mealsThe toilets are filthy, as is the rest of the restaurantOnly saving grace was it was cheap

we were prepared to look beyond the decor as everyone advised and ALMOST prepared to ignore the cleanliness issues ( of which there were several )but couldnt ignore the utter lack of taste in our meals. It was like a black hole had sucked all flavour out . 4 of us visited one miserable tuesday night -cold and dark outside , stark bright , empty and cheerless inside. each one of us had a similar expreience with 4 different meals -how is it possible to make something so devoid of " eastern spice " ?? a packet of frozen vegetables and some curry powder would have imbued more taste. utterly baffling how it could be so boring.pretty underwhelming service also

Friendly staff and great curries!

Been getting takeaways from here for last 8 years,gorgeous food always freshly prepared you can taste every ingredient it's totally different taste to most curries. Ali the owner always has a smile as does the rest of the staff. You can eat in the upstairs restaurant, as I said previously look beyond the decor and try it.

Good quality food, extremely friendly service and amazing value for money. This is the best place to go for curry in Halifax!

Like most people say don't look at the decor just taste the food, me and the wife and our friends had a great weekend in gibralter farm cottage, and had a short taxis ride to town, taking our own alcohol we have a great couple of hours in the eastern spice, nice relax meal waiter was brill just left us to enjoy ourselves. Great place to eat.

We have only ever had veggie currys here but all have been fabulous so felt it was time for a review. This time i had the dopiaza. Crammed full of tasty vegtables in a sublime sauce. Pilau rice was fluffy and poppadoms hot and crispy. Servicd eas prompt even for a busy Thursday, so very happy......again !

It's my favourite curry house for miles, keema buna with extra chillies and coriander, the best in my eyes for miles.Decor a little out dated but come on, we eat curry and don't waste time looking for items that we wouldn't want.Cash payments

We have been eating at the Eastern Spice for over 30 years and still love it! - we have made many friends amongst other regulars and always enjoy an excellent meal - service is always very good and Ali cooks really delicious food - long may it continue!

Though the decor is tired and dated, the food is excellent. I ate here with a few friends and all the starters and mains we had were great. The curries especially weren't swimming in oil which is my usual complaint. Service was good and it's excellent value, popadoms, starters and mains cost less than £10 per person.

Eastern Spice is a great place to eat at a bargain price.I had a delicious two course meal for less than £10-00!!. The service was quick and friendly. Its well worth a visit. I enjoyed it so much that I went three nights running!_

Dropped in here for a pre-gig curry and had sat down before we realised it was a byob venue. Chilled bottled water was provided free of charge.The restaurant is basic and a little grubby.Menu was the standard curry type and the prices were very cheap.Due to time we kept to popodom and dips to start and a main meal.main meal took longer to arrive than we expected but the portions were huge and tasty. The naan breads were very good.Excellent value for money

Wandering around looking for somewhere to eat in Hebden Bridge, I discovered Eastern Spice.The restaurant is above the takeaway and, being the first there, I had my pick of where to sit and chose a window view.I ordered a chicken dopiaza with rice and chapati and a sweet lassee.Unlike other Indian restaurants, for a few pence extra, you can specify the spiciness of your meal and rice or chapati is included with all meals too. So the grand total for my entire meal was just £7.20 which is ridiculously cheap!The meal was tasty too and arrived without delay - although I did have to remind them about the rice (I think I confused them asking for both chapati and rice).I will definitely be looking this place up again next time I'm in Hebden Bridge!

Came here last night with 3 friends. Absolutely delicious fresh food from the starter to the mains and the value is incredible. Portions massive too so took a lot of the food home. The only thing I will say against it is that it needs a good deep clean. The staff were friendly and helpful especially when it came to our vegan friend. Will definitely be going back. This place is a hidden gem :) They have no alcohol licence so take your own :)

Came here on the off chance to eat in.Greeted very warmly.Went upstairs to sit and noticed on the way up that the place really does need a deep clean .Had a large cold bottle of water brought to our table.Ordered starters and mains.Starters were tasty , I personally didn't like my main course ,although my friends veggie dish was nice..The chappatti and naan were freshly made and lovely .Over all I would not eat here again, especially after noticing their 3* food hygiene rating ( which I suspect is to do with the cleanliness of the place, not the quality of food cooked/served)However, the two men running the show were so welcoming and friendly , nothing was too much trouble .I think if it were a bit cleaner they might have more people sitting in.

Excellent Curry's and certainly going to keep going like we've been for years its one of the most best we've ever tasted and will be recommending to other people just a shame they don't deliver which would be a great and they would be profet to be made within doing this service. But still excellent curry and service with a smile

Peshawari Naan the best ever.The rest pretty basic, but at 11.00pm, after beer...perfect!More people should be made aware that the Take Away has restaurant above it.

Love this place. Curries are the best I've ever tasted and I've tried many!! Cheap, can eat in upstairs with your own drink or take away. Can't fault it.

Have been going to Eastern Spice for many many years and you just cant fault the food. The curries have so much meat in them. You can take your own drink. Lovely atmosphere!! Great people!!

Tasted to me like straight from freezer brought in sauces. A cheap jar of curry sauce from the supermarket would probably taste better. Did taste any fresh ingredients or different. Just standard over sweet sickly korma

Called by default, had been to a gig in Hebden Bridge, was planning to eat before hand however we were late, so had to eat after. Searched the town and could only find takeaways and kebab shops open and we really wanted a sit down meal and to be waited on.Driving out of town we saw the open sign, pulled over and parked up and enquired, yes they are open.Interesting......place seems untidy and needs a paint, however, it was clean, service was very good indeed. The food you can tell is homemade on the premises, certainly a different experience to other currys we have had.Would definetly recomend a try, especially if a late night curry is required, open until 1am.Portions are huge, especially the mixed kebab starter and everything comes served on your plate.Very good value for money, we had three courses for 2 for £22.60, wow!As we left just after 12, another 4 people turned up and they also let them in no problem at all, really nice to see.If having a late night in Hebden Bridge and are peckish, give it a go!!!

A great restaurant where you can take your own bottle and relax in the atmosphere. Food is delicious and presented very well and the ambience is soft and friendly.

When with couple of friend food was nice i would recommend naan and chicken curry.The naan were made fresh and so light waiiter was reali polite could do with uniform but vey polite ovarall great food try it.....

You don't come here looking for smart decor and waiters in uniforms - the surroundings are basic. This is all about the food, which is excellent. I had a Veg Mathi which was well flavoured with coriander and fenugreek and contained lots of well cooked fresh vegetables. A selection of naans were soft and fluffy and the chapattis were perfect too. For drinks, we brought in wine, but I also enjoyed a lovely thick mango lassi. Poppadoms and pickle selection was spot on as well. The whole lot coming to £27 for three, which is excellent value.

After using this takeaway and restaurant for the past 16years, I felt It opportune to write a review. Never had a bad meal from here. It's almost all the same staff since opening. It's a good authentic Pakistani take out. Well done Ali and his team!

We, four mates, met here for a catch up. Being honest the looks of the place from outside is quite off putting, a typical tatty fast food outlet However two of the mates,Tony and Ken are locals and it was on their recommendation that we met up here. The dining area is upstairs and although it was a midweek night we could hear it was crowded as we went up the stairs, always a good sign. As we sat down the waiter brought a carafe of water over,a nice touch, no hard sell for a bottled water. The menu is not massive but they are willing to mix and march to suit. All dishes are accompanied by either three chapatis or boiled rice. the food was first rate and the staff were very pleasant, nothing was too much for them. As a previous reviewer has said you can bring your own drinks and unlike some similar places they don't try to charge for use of their glasses. Total cost for starters plus main each (5) £36.35. Hebden is an 'in' place and the price in most eateries there reflect this, so a real treat to find good cheap food. I thoroughly recommend this Asian delight.

Looks like a terrible place from the outside, but the curry I had was really delicious, and whilst the menu was limited, the owner made us up dishes that we requested. Not licensed so no bar, but you can take your own in, I got 4 cans of lager at the co-op for £3! The curry and the naan bread were really nice, but I didn't personally like the poppadom sauces.

I went here with my partner while staying in Hebden bridge and the food was really nice. Lovely taste and very good portions. The korma looked a bit more like a ready meal as there was no curry taste and it was really thick but im use to my korma being more like a curry sauce. The only part that was not nice was the decoration upstairs and the fact that half the light bulbs had blown and it wasn't that clean.

After using this takeaway and restaurant for the past 19 years, I felt It opportune to write a review. Never had a bad meal from here. It's almost all the same staff since opening. It's a good authentic Indian - Pakistani take away. Good menu and wide range of choice.

The chicken curry i ordered was perfect came with boiled rice they even gave some chappaties free.Staff were friendly,would recommend this restaurant to people with a good taste of food......

Not the best place to look at, but the food is very good. The naan breads are especially good as they are freshly cooked on site.

Although the restaurant may not be as pleasing to the eye as other restaurants the food is lovely and very good value

I visited here recently with some friends and we rely disappointed. The restaurant was very dirty we were sat by the window which had dead flies on it. We were given some water, no other drinks were offered. Poppadoms were ordered for the table which I did not eat as the basket they came in was coated in built up grease. I had onion barjis which weren't cooked enough and prawns which again were dirty, almost every prawn in the dish had a black line still.Needless to say we won't be back.

Great to have it open again after all the floods!! These are probably the best curries we have ever eaten(been through the menu several times). You dont just get a lot of curry sauce with a bit of meat in, you get loads of tasty meat and a delicious sauce!!Really good vegetarian meals as well!! The owner and the staff are really welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them, they will do any combination of curry you want, and do it any heat you like!!!This curry house has transformed our lives since opening teens of years ago and probably eaten there(or takeaway) every week since!! Try it you will not be disappointed!! Take your own alchohol as well as its not licensed. Very reasonable prices for the curries which includes rice or 3 chappatis!! Well Done Ali-Wonderful Curries-A great Night Out!!xxxx

Called in for a meal on the weekend of 1st feb 2013. Very nice meal. The dhansak was delicious and not oily at all. The Keema also was delicious.The restaurant isn't licenced but the Coop is just down the road so I nipped out for a couple of beers.No probs. Would definately eat there again.

Used the Eastern Spice for the first time since it re-opened post the summer floods. Meal was great, prices reasonable and the welcome warm and friendly. The only draw back can be the waiting time

Not bad food, ate here two nights in a row as a takeaway. Sadly the second night after getting the vegetable pilau home, we realised we were eating prawns and chicken!

What a relief to have Hebden Bridge's finest curry house open again after the floods. Incredible value for money. BYO. Friendly, familiar staff.

I have never eaten in the restaurant, so cant comment on this, but have been getting takeaways for years and never had a bad experience. Staff are friendly and always remember little details about my life which they enquire about, makes the service feel personal. Curries are faultless.

We have eaten in and had take aways from here about four times. Not sure why after the first one which was awful. Anyway bit irrelevant right not as they have been forced to close due to the flooding. If you plan to eat here check they have re-opened first.
