Eastern Spice in East Northamptonshire

Awesome food Definitely coming back again

Great food and service the beef chilli fry was amazing, totally worth a vist for everyone.

Nye wonderful food and entertainment. Definitely my new regular

Lovely food. Really good service with someone there when you need them, but with no imposition into your meal. Highly recommended

xmas day lunch was a total abomination, a set meal of no choice, food arrived almost cold and at different times. never again

Tikka marsala was oddly sweet. Very attentive and pleasant servers

Hidden gem.... Amazing food and very polite staff.... When in the area,my favourite.

Quite a regular on delivery or pick up and have always enjoyed my meal however today I was very disappointed. Seems to be a compete change in recipe and tasted nothing like before. It was not a good change at all seemed like I was given the wrong dish?Unfortunately I could not enjoy or eat it much.

Lovely Sunday buffet with my family at this friendly local restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food. We will be back soon. Thank you.

Greeted really nicely and the restaurant has a good atmosphere. Serviced quite well. It's our 2nd time here and still saw lots of oil in our food (in the sauce, napkins, plates etc) and my salmon was badly burned so I had to get that swapped with some chicken. However, staff advised that they ate it lol... good for them! Not very professional to say to a customer and try to make it sound as if I didn't know what burnt looked like lol. My hubby also pointed it out before I even said anything. The presentation was really nice, which I noted when placed onto the table but as I began to eat and properly noticed what was on my plate, I realised that it was not satisfactory. Masala cooks with alot less oil and are more professional with their customers. The organised events are catered for a certain clientele.

Simply the best Indian food for miles around!!!!Amazing flavours, attentive staff and great prices.

The best vegetarian curry ever called Bengal Special Vegetables on the menu. Music made the night special, not Indian loop tape more contemporary. Service was excellent. Medium

Food was pretty good, however we didn't find it that great. But biggest issue was it just all felt so rushed in there as if they were just trying to get you in and out as quick as poss. We got our poppadoms to start, we had them for about 20 secs before the waitor came back and asked us what we wanted for main course, I said we hadn't decided yet. Then it was like that through the whole meal. It just felt you couldn't relax in there and they wanted you out. And it wasn't that busy to warrant being like that. Just a bit disappointing. As was there chicken tikka masala which had a bit of an odd taste. Def worth a visit they just need to chill out a bit.

Always lovely staff, they give great suggestions and look after you. Food is great, lots of choice.

We always have an enjoyable meal and time at Bengal Spice. The banquet meal is amazing value and the food quality is amazing. Thanks again Jamal, Imran and the boss for the great service...😁⭐👍🏾

First time here with my husband and we definitely enjoyed the experience. The food tasted fresh and delicious but the staff were truly amazing and very kind - will defo recommend and be seeing them again soon!

The food here was absolutely superb. We went thete on the recommendation of a friend, we certainly weren't disappointed. Brilliant service from friendly efficient staff. A very hood selection of food ( I had the goat, never had it before) it just fell off the bone as it was cooked so well. The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. Will certainly he going thete again and hopefully soon. Great service, great food and great value. 10 out 10

First time here. Was a lovely curry will be ordering again

Last night we ate Bengal Spice for the first time under its new name. It was probably just over forty years ago when I first ate curry here. And there was a time when we ate here at least once a fortnight. We got a leaflet through the door and its not often I read these. However the menu as it is now is a little different from the norm. A few things stood out and one in particular, goat. We opted for the banquet night deal and added Poppadum's and a drink, then started railway chilli fry, I had chicken and Mel had paneer. Both were excellent and reminded us of 'indo Chiness' dishes that we had tried elsewhere. Our main was roshuni modhu, goat haandi, taka dahl, Bombay aloo, Peshwari naan. The goat was excellent, great flavour, soft and buttery. The banquet night proved popular as the restaurant was busy. Great staff and great value for money.

Been to Begal Spice twice now and been very impressed with the food. Very well flavoured and not just reliant on heat as some can be. Very interesting menu with some real specialities. Best of all a really warm welcome from the owner and all the staff.

Ordered 2x tikka masalas that tasted more like a madras. Rice was soggy and hardly any meat in the keema naan.

Well priced, well presented food in comfortable surroundings. Further visit food had improved on what was already very good

Place smelt strongly of wacky baccy. Music was like a disco . Waiter did turn it down when asked but ten mins later he turned it up again. Food could only be called average. Won't be going back

Very freshly prepared food. No gippy tummy or bad after taste like some Indian food leaves you with. New innovate dishes on offer as well as all the classics A must go to for Indian food lovers. Great restraunt. Nice staff.

Excellent service and lovely food well priced definitely worth a visit

I've visited twice now in just under two weeks, once with friends and tonight with family. The food is beautiful, authentic and freshly made. The service is second to none, with both waiters and waitresses being very attentive and accommodating to requirements. The restaurant is lovely and clean. I'd highly recommend visiting and will most certainly be returning myself.

We have visited this restaurant 3 times since it has opened. Every time the food has been exceptional. So tasty and the sizes of the portions are great. Always enough to take home. The staff are all very friendly and there is always a very good atmosphere in the restaurant. We went last night for their banquet night, absolute bargain and fantastic value for money, 4 courses for £11.95. We will definitely be back again soon and look forward to it very much.

Wow, 1st time since the new owners have been in. Nicely decorated, super efficient staff and very friendly! Food was amazing, fresh and hot, we felt really welcomed and will definitely be returning. Drinks with generous measures! Try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Fabulous food everytime and great service too. Banquet night price is £11.95 atm which makes it exceptional value too. Go and see for yourselves.

The food was exquisite!! Service was brilliant I believe they have a new chef and the food did not disappoint. Will be visiting again

The locals tell me this has had a few ups and downs as it’s changed hands in recent years. It was seven years since I’ve been here, so I can’t attest to any of that, but we certainly enjoyed it. The curries were good and met the standards of the connoisseurs in our party, and the service was outstanding

We arrived for our booked table at 1.00p.m and were taken straight to our table. Staff were attentive and helpful - nice complementary glass of champagne to start us off while we chose from the menu. We ordered a single starter of chilli chicken with two main meals of Mango Chicken and a Tandoori Mixed Grill with salad. A side dish of curried mash potatoes and lime rice with a nan bread. The food was very good and it tasted as if fresh ingredients are used. We very much enjoyed our meal! The bill was £64.00. I would say that there were about 40 customers in at the time and there was a good atmosphere. We have had a number of take-aways, as well, since the new management has taken over - all of our meals have been very good.

Excellent food and service, highly recommend. Will be back!

We've lived in the town for 5 years and have generally been disappointed with the standard of curry served, generally flavorless. Bengal Spice on our first attempt gets a 4 rating, this will be our benchmark for future visits. Good menu and good flavours. I had the goat curry for a new experience, it was very good. All in all a very positive experience, particularly from the service team.

Made a right numpty of myself last night gave a 2 star review when I should have checked my facts. Our meal was exactly the price of the listed items on the menu delivered on time it was hot and just as tasty as eating in the restaurant. I need to apologise for my hasty review thinking I was right when in fact I was wrong . The Bengal Spice is the best in this area for tasty spicy curries. Will definitely go there again and use the takeaway again. That is if they will let me in now. Sorry again. Joe Walsh

Booked a table for their charity night. Great food, and the service was prompt. Friendly welcome always helps, and recommendations are informative. Was a shame people booked for the charity night and couldn't be bothered to turn up or cancel. If you like spicy, two dishes with Naga chilli's, delicious!

Excellent food , service and atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

My friend and I visited on banquet night this week, the curry was superb and the restaurant nice and warm, the staff especially the young lady serving were very attentive and I am very pleased we tried Bengal Spice

Superb. Have eaten in and had delivery. Fresh tasting perfectly spiced. Will now be a regular.

Quality and presentation of food is excellent, though was a bit on the cool temperature side. However, the restaurant is let down by expensive drinks - £7.45 for a pint of diet coke and a j20. Sadly it seems to be common to charge £4-£5 for a pint of coke/pepsi that is poured from a 2ltr bottle that we know is £1-£2 retail from the shops, in Indian restaurants.

I nearly posted after my first visit however after visiting a couple of weeks later Bengal Spice certainly is 5 Star Service and Surroundings are excellent but the menu choice and food is utterly stunning. Not a huge ‘Curry’ fan but the quality and flavour of the dishes is arguably the best I’ve had. Visiting friends agreed it is one of the best they’ve been to. The food is superb

Had a superb meal tonight with friends. The advice & food was superb. Jamal the waiter was so helpful & friendly. Couldn’t fault anything Best Indian for a long time

I have lived in Rushden for 2 years and haven’t found a decent Indian restaurant until now!! We ordered a takeaway and was not disappointed. The order was super quick, and the food here was absolutely gorgeous, and portion sizes were great! Even gave us a few extra popadoms as well as onion bhajis, and as a pregnant woman, this makes me very happy!! Only thing I wish I knew was that the chutneys etc for poppadoms need to be brought separately but not to worry! Will definitely order from here again!

Best Indian meal I have ever had. Food amazing, staff attentive and friendly. Lamb chops starter to die for, mango chicken with lemon and cashew rice was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. Definitely will be going back. So please such a superb restaurant is near to us, and they deliver.

Newly refurbished and offers a great choice of food.

We visited Bengal spice last night after visiting some other Indian restaurants in recent weeks in the area and being disappointed,this was a breath of fresh air. The place is clean and welcoming and the food was tasty and well presented and the staff were friendly we shall return very soon

Meal was alright only 2 King prawns for £5.95

We are a party of 4 and have just had a fabulous meal. Jay and his team did a wonderful job advising of the best food for our palates. Very attentive and obliging. We visited on Banquet night so very reasonable and freshly cooked food and the taste was great. Will visit again soon Jay. Thank you

We booked for 4 of us to celebrate a family birthday , the restaurant was extremely busy, however the front of house staff were absolutely amazing , really friendly & cheerful given they were absolutely rushed off their feet with a big group booking . We were really impressed with the food , our main dishes were really tasty & the sides were beautifully presented with clearly fresh ingredients being used. We’d like to say thank you to all , you were amazing & your food was fabulous , we will be back .

3rd visit for us. Consistently good food, king prawn bhuna was amazing. Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere.

Quality take away food with very friendly and welcoming staff. Great addition to the town Speed of order was more than reasonable

Just got back from a delicious meal at Bengal Spice for my partners birthday! The food was some of the best I’ve had ever! Would absolutely recommend, was nice and busy but we were served promptly. All servers were lovely, we had a slight mix...

Got a takeaway from here tonight for 4 adults. Chose mainly off the specials and got a varied range of curries to share. Opted for collection with 20% discount. The restaurant itself looked really clean and smart and staff were pleasant and friendly. Good value...

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Helpful with the menu and great food. Well worth a visit. Served by Jay who was lovely.

Thanks Jay unbelievably only the best 5 star all the way

We enjoyed a fabulous meal out at this curry house with excellent service from all. Great recommendations for food from Jay, thank you. Nice and relaxed and not rushed either. Will return.

Visited here last night for the first time since the new owners took over, our food was cooked to perfection & the atmosphere was amazing, if I could rate more stars I would. Definitely my go to Indian restaurant now without a doubt.

Fabulous evening out with friends, great food and impeccable service

Excellent service and even better food! Highly recommend!

We have been eagerly waiting to try this newly opened restaurant in Irthlingborough for around 3 weeks. Ample parking and easily accessible. We arrived around 9.30pm on a Saturday evening and were seated promptly by very friendly members of the restaurant staff. Fantastic menu with...

Food and service was very good, tasty and nice hot plates. Breads were a bit undercooked but staff did apologise. The restaurant having had a refurbishment needs finishing off, toilets look tatty and walls need painting in some areas. We found the decor a bit lacking.

We have just had a really wonderful dinner, amazing service and outstanding customer care. Love the hot plates and crisp white linen. We will most certainly be back! Thank you!

Best curry I’ve had in ages! Tender meat, fantastic flavours (clearly freshly cooked), and good portion sizes. Friendly staff and recently refurbished restaurant. I will definitely be coming back.

10/10, great restaurant. Jamal's recommendations were spot on, the haandi and tak a tak were delicious! Will be back soon!

Lovely meal, attentive and friendly service (Jay) Would definitely recommend a visit. We visited on Wednesday when they do their banquet night . Great value.

Looking rather inviting from the outside on the times we've walked past we were really looking forward to our first visit to Bengal Spice. We chose to go on a Wednesday evening which is banquet night. The food was exceptional and there was so much...

So glad this place has been taken over and is being run properly now. We live in the town and see this restaurant be run into the ground by previous owners. Such a shame.Visited tonight and we couldn't fault the place. The food was beautuful....

Very good experience. The food tasted extremely fresh and made with quality ingredients. The best balti I’ve had , would 100% recommend and will be back soon.

Absolutely lovely meal, food was of high quality and tasted very fresh. Brilliant menu select at reasonable prices. Would 100% recommend and we will be back very soon. Also, very kind and accommodating staff.

All Staff polite and friendly. We were mainly served by Jay. Food was amazing...tasted very fresh. Great menu choices..and great section of different rice dishes. We will def be back.

First time in a long while since we have been, have to say the whole evening was lovely, service was excellent as was the food. Definitely be going again.

We popped in Tuesday for the first time.we were greeted politely and shown to our seats good menu well cooked I had chicken Sashlick , lovely great for watching the calories no sauce Certainly go again

Superb. New ownership. New chef with some novel recipes. Come and taste it. Considerably better than the norm. Fresh, tasty. Great service

A group of curry loving afficionados came here tonight for our usual monthly get together, 15 of us in total. The service was great, friendly staff looked after us well. The food was fantastic, both the starter and main course were presented well and were...

Was staying locally and found Bengal Spice. Restaurant had a big group but I was served well with great food. Lamb Korma was very tasty

Personal opinion. If you remember the days of 'Eastern spice', I would highly recommend 'bengal spice'!. I haven't has such a good experience in years. The staff were polite, explained dishes and catered to your taste. Our dishes had alot of flavour (a goat dish in the chef specials, highly recommended) and due to all the natural ingredients, never sat heavy after. Again, really chuffed and would highly recommend to locals and visitors

We had a very good meal their tonight. Lovely service from Jay. We will definitely be back again soon.

We had a takeaway for five people everybody agreed it was the best Indian food we have had for a long time we will be recommending them to our friends. The food was freshly cooked with different dishes on the menu to try rather that...

Just had a lovely meal , really tasty and Jay was the perfect waiter even got a free baileys , the make over looks great we will definitely be back well done all

Had the most amazing meal here I have never tasted anything so lovely we go to many restaurants but this is the best

First visit to this amazing restaurant, ordered a take away and it was delicious, Jay looked after me. Food colourful tasty and perfect.

Lovely meal at Bengal Spice, great service from Jay, delicious fresh food, very well presented, great evening, thanks!

Great new owners. Totally refurbished inside. The quality of food is greatly improved on the previous offering.

Awesome. Great food and lovely service from Rofiq and the team. Our new go to Indian takeaway/restaurant home ❤️

My partner and I had a lovely evening here yesterday, food was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned and tasted very fresh. Service from staff was 5* and were very attentive. Definitely will be coming back.

Great food, great service, highly recommend.

Newly opened absolutely top food Everyone was friendly and reasonably priced menu Can’t fault it will be back soon

Tried Bengal spice for the first time. Lovely food, well presented. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend. Will be back again.

Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommended.

Went for a meal here on Friday What a change from when we last went, amazing!! Food was great, restaurant was really busy but we were not waiting long for food. Great prices, wills definitely be going again

Top class restaurant with great staff will definitely come again.

Great dining experience, wonderful food

Takeaway delivered personally by the manager after I called asking when to expect delivery of my online order as all the site showed was "confimed". I was confused to find chickpeas as one of the main ingredients in my dish when no mention had been made of them i the description ... however the food was wonderfully flavoursome, not hot and spicy but definitely a treat for the tastebuds. The manager has also agreed to amend the menu details ... Won't hesitate to return, I will just need to ensure I double check what I am ordering.

First time and great staff and wonderful food and can't wait to come back

Great service from one gentleman, perhaps owner. Super lovely & attentive. Food was delicious too, we had a mixture of foods and all shared. Food piping hot and some awesome flavours! Good luck to you on your new venture!

Small local restaurant where staff are welcoming and food is fresh and traditional, not much else you can ask for!

First takeaway from here tonight, and it was amazing, it was delivered very quickly, it was as ordered, hot and very, very tasty, will deffo be ordering from here again 👍😊

!!!AVOID!!!! If I could give a minus rating I would, avoid this place like the plague! Ordered from just eat as our regular was closed, decided to go for a biriyani the only options were chicken or ‘meat’ I decided to go for the ‘meat’ option as I assumed it would be lamb. The meat in the biriyani was full of fat, every single piece, I found green marks on it and one piece was so fatty it was like it had actual mucus on it. As soon as I saw this I had to stop eating, I felt sick afterwards. The food came in a plastic bag that was coated inside with oil, the naan was as hard as a rock while the popadoms were soft and stale. To say I was disappointed was an understatement, I have quite literally never had a takeaway this bad in my LIFE.

Never go again lamb madras meat tough over charge by 35 pounds staff on counter unhelpful starter had to bin as meat was unedable
