Now called Zahra Spice but name change is only thing noticeably different, having not been here for years. Same excellent food quality, service and atmosphere. Now it's back on our radar I can see this being our regular again. Great to see it full and thriving.

Have to say that the meal I had here last night was one of the best I've had in a long time! Specialising in Bangladeshi cuisine, the menu is has plenty of choices without being overwhelming. The service was exemplary, I was very impressed, attentive without being intrusive. The dish I chose was delicious, and the waiter offered a recommendation for which rice would accompany that particular dish well, and he was spot on, it was perfect. The whole meal was lovely, and both myself and my manager who dined there were thoroughly impressed, will definitely eat there again.

Went for a meal at this place were there were only 2 other customers in. They took our order and we waited and waited and waited. This I don’t mind if the place is busy but it was dead. This is the second time this has happened and definitely the last time we use there

A friend has moved fairly close by and this was recommended to him, so had to try it. Sadly the recommendation wasn't a particularly good one. I have never seen a meal in so much plastic, the content of the plastic boxes is a bit more edible than the boxes, but not that much! Sheek kebabs and tikka chicken tasted very generically similar and a bit like curry powder, served with an ocean of limp wet onions! Edible but not great. Flat onion Bhajis are not what I am used to, but I have come across them before a few times, and to be fair they were passable but not anywhere near the best I have had. Pilau rice was actually good, Naans would have been good if not for being stuffed into foil bags which steams the life out of them and changes the texture completely, I thought this practice died out in the 1970s, with most places using paper bags which breathe now. Curries, a mixed lot - Meat Pathia was vividly over-coloured red (that's a new one to me!), and was the sweetest "savoury" food I have ever had anywhere - as sweet as custard, and no lemony sharpness to counter it! I have eaten Pathia dishes all over the country, none were ever this colour nor this sweet. It was rather thin too. "Generic" Meat (I thought labelling it like that had died out in the 1970s too) was tender but not a lot of it. Overall I gave most of it a miss. Balti Chicken - well, not much like any Balti I have had, but it was a much better flavour - a bit more like a standard chicken curry is the best way to describe it, but a lot more palatable than the candy-sweet Pathia Tandoori Mixed grill - flavour much as the other tandoori items as starters, the same generic flavour, although the meat quality was decent. Accompaniments and sauces were so over-coloured, we didn't try them, we had overloaded on food colouring already! The tandoori items were pale by comparison. Edible, but it is still well worth driving to Birmingham Balti triangle instead, as far as that is!

We always come here to get our takeaway and we’ve never had any issues. We presume it’s had new owners as the service is just painfully slow now. 45/50 minutes to collect a curry is ridiculous especially when they tell you 25/30 minutes and you go and just sit there for ages waiting!

The food here is always good i have never been disappointed the staff are friendly and will always go out their way to make sure you have the very best experience. Clean and tidy, prices and portions are good. Still loving the fish tanks and sensory lighting. Can’t wait until the restaurant is open again I am looking forward to another great meal.

They say there nothing better than your home town Indian takeaway/restaurant and I am beginning to understand what they mean. Doesn't matter where in the world I might pop out for an Indian meal, It never quite seems to compare and I am always left a little underwhelmed, but never here. These guys work so hard to deliver and it reflects with their 5 star hygiene rating. A really friendly bunch and consistently good. must have been using for 15 years or more and still keen to keep returning. Long may they prosper.

11 years of marriage brought us together and the eastern spice delivered. Firstly we did not have a reservation so we chanced it and fortunately they had a free table. We grabbed a bottle of wine from the shop and sat down to eat. We got given some popidoms and sauces. The green one was extremely nice. This allowed them chance to take other orders and take down our details for the track and trace. Our starters can and we had Tandoori chicken and chicken pakora was so tasty and just right amount. We had a chicken buuna and korma with naan and chips. It was really tasty and tbh I enjoyed every bit of it. Tldr: it's covid safe and the food is fantastic and cheap

Friendly staff...and that's about it. The food I had was awful. Curry that was basically water with curry paste added with lumps of chicken that tasted..funny..I didn't risk eating more than one. The Naan bread was doughy and the poppadoms greasy. The food had no redeeming qualities unless you count large portions. Anyone who rates this food has never eaten good Indian food.

My son and I eat here most Saturday evenings and thoroughly look forward to our visit. I'd like to think myself as a bit of a curry aficionado and know what I'm eating having visited many restaurants and takeaways so when I say this is up there, and in excess of, the very best and comfortably the best in the area it's not a light statement. Even my 10-year-old son has become a convert and looks forward to his Saturday evening as much as I do. Firstly the smells - divine. Then you are shown to your table and looked after and treated very well by Kal and his staff. The restaurant has a real family feel and children are treated very well too. The food. What can I say! The meat is cooked to perfection; the texture perfect. The sauce is sweet but not overly, perfectly seasoned and spiced; everything works perfectly and, as in some establishments, there's not an oil slick lying on top of the curry ready to cause mayhem with cholesterol. The madras is just perfect. Layer upon layer of flavour and sensation. Sweetness, then spice; coriander, cumin, turmeric, a slight tang from tomato then heat, but not searing, to invade the senses; it really is Curry Heaven. The naan are cooked to perfection being soft and fluffy with delicious charring from the tandoor oven. Again, healthier than most by not being drenched in oil or ghee. The balti has so many different flavours but all seem to work perfectly, mild and perfect for children. The rice in the biryani is perfectly fragrant complimented by a delicious vegetable curry. I could go on and on... Try this place and you'll be converted, you really will. It's a jewel in Tipton's crown. Drop over there, say hello to Kal, and taste his wonderful food. You will NOT be disappointed!

I have to say that the service was good, and the food was excellent. Whilst the wait was quite long the food was worth the wait and the premises itself is clean and nicely furnished. Sadly our party was sat in front of one of two fish tanks set into the wall. We have nothing against this except that the water looked like it had not been cleaned in years and the poor fish were swimming round in what looked like a haze of their own fecal matter; bits were floating like a sand storm and as the poor fish tried to eat they were obviously getting mouthfuls of.....It took an excellent rating down quite considerably and is something I hope that the proprietors address if not for the patrons then for the poor fish.

Made many previous visits under different management and always satisfied. Choose dishes that are fresh cooked ,tandori/shaslik as balti (wet) style tend to be not so good.My guess is they are meats added to pre prepared sauces and do not have time to marinate properly.Good service. Good value.

First takeaway we have tried from here. So awful it was shocking food. Our family are not fussy but Asian experts. Poppadom starter. Tasted of burnt fat and smelt off.Combination of chicken masala and chicken Balti.Garlic rice and chips.Three pieces of chicken in the horrible masala and two pieces of chicken in the tasteless Balti. Garlic rice was tasteless. Never ever again. All in the bin. We will return to masala Balti in Bilston for amazing food. Sorry but this was very very poor food.

We were on a canal boat holiday with friends and moored up at Tipton, walked down Owen Street and found the restaurant easily. The staff were very friendly and we nipped across the road to the off licence as the restaurant isn't licensed. The food was delicious and we had a lovely evening. Very good value as well.

Ordered take out from here and it was not up to its usual good standards (been ordering from here for 10 years) so I called up as I thought I had been over charged as well. Spoke to a chap on the phone and went through the over charge issue fine but when I started to give feedback about quality of the food this time round he bit my head off and spoke to me with an appalling attitude. I told the guy his attitude stinks and he raised his voice and began to shout at me. I had not even raised my voice to the guy by this point. There was absolutely no need for his attitude. It's safe to say that even after 10 years I will not be ordering from here in the future.

I have been using this superb Indian Restaurant for many years now and in my humble opinion it is the best of its type in the area.A couple of years ago it was refurbished and the décor is still in excellent condition and is quite spacious allowing "breathing room" between the tables.Although it is no longer licensed, the management allow you to bring your own alcoholic drinks to the restaurant, without corkage charge.The food is always of top quality with large portions, with "sizzler" dishes dispensed at your table and if you have too much to eat they will always supply a take-away with the remainder. The restaurants also does deliveries and self collectionsThe manager Kal and his able assistants Imran and Sam are always courteous, friendly and knowledgeable.They have two "discount" nights which are Thursday and Sunday when a four course meal consisting of poppadums; starter; main course plus rice/nan/chips etc is just £8.50p p.p. which is excellent value. Similar on other night would be a two or three pounds extra.I would genuinely suggest a visit

This is my third review of the ESB and whilst I have been there on many occasions now I thought I would give them another review. Starters were the Tandoori Mixed Kebab and Samosa, with of course the obligatory popadums. Both excellent. Moved onto the Palak Bahar, Lamb Tikka Masalla and Chicken and mushroom Balti, complete with plain naan, pilau rice, chapatti and the famous chips. All excellent and piping hot. Didnt have room for any dessert. Well full on the evening that we visted, the Eastern Spice Balti hasnt been licensed now for a couple of years, which keeps the bill down! An off license is a minutes walk away, all in all excellent....and very good value . Can particularly recomend the Palak Bahar and the Bombay Bahar, and of course you must try the chips"

When you find a good restaurant that serves excellent food and gives 1st class service you want to keep going back right ? It's spotlessly clean (white cotton tablecloths, I'm old school, can't beat it, looks so much better than paper) and weather you are a couple, a party, or a large family like us, the service and attention is always of a high standard to make you feel comfortable and relaxed to enjoy every part of your meal, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. There is also an excellent delivery service which is also to the same great standard. Can't praise this restaurant highly enough - A must if you love good quality reasonable priced food.

Had a takeaway from here as a one off as we were passing through from relatives.Read trip advisor.... big mistake ! Clearly these are fake reviews or ones from people with no taste buds! Mint sauce for popadums was luminous green and tasteless... onion bajees were soggy, lamb curry had lumps of mixtures like a chip shop curry and was bland and tasteless. Chicken tikka masala was luminous orange and also bland. Complete waste of £20. If this is the best in Tipton I'd hate to try the worst!! Don't bother, head 5 mins up the hill to sedgley or 5 mins through to Langley for Currys 10 times better for the same price! Only positive was that the food was hot.

A pleasant little place, clean and tidy. Perhaps a little "cool" inside on our night but that could be just me.The menu reminded me of the highly rated Lamp "Indian" in Wednesbury that I went to last week so I thought I would go for exactly the same meal choice. The poppadoms are free with nice dips so that's one nil to the ES. My sheek kebab was very good and tasty but unfortunately the wife's salmon tikka had a few bones in it. My chicken shezalla was a bit disappointing, there was nothing wrong with the chicken but the gravy was slightly creamy and just wasn't as tasty as suggested it would be by our waiter. Similarly the wife's balti was also a little on the mild side, perhaps a different choice would have made a difference? The portions here are particularly generous and all the sides were excellent and overall probably the best I have had in ages.The service was pleasant and friendly although a not quite as attentive as some.The atmosphere would have been good but an uncontrolled, spoilt and rather noisy "young lady" managed to ruin the ambience for all which unfortunately seems all too common these days. I would be very happy to go back again but worry that the milder, less tasty gravy is a characteristic of all the dishes that I would usually go for.

I have been using Eastern Spice regularly about twice a month for the last three years,and throughout this time have never had a bad meal, either starter, main course, or accompanying rice, Nan or chips.I normally eat on a specials night. Sunday or Thursday, when the full four course meal is tremendous value at £8.50.per person, however, on the few occasions when I have eaten at normal prices the meal has still been good value at £10.00. or £11.00.Sometime ago the entire restaurant had a full make-over and the interior decor is now modern and inviting. The staff have always been very attentive, friendly and helpful and assist with any special requirements.It is noticable how many parties and families of 10 or more book the premises for their gatherings whilst small numbers are additionally welcome.I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I have been a regular at this Balti Restaurant for many years, visiting occasionally alone but regularly with friends for many years, 2 or 3 times each month.There is an extensive menu, including chefs specials, combination dishes and the normal dishes one would expect at an Indian balti Restaurant.The premises were completely refurbished last year and the premises are attractively furnished with black and white table linen, and attractive lighting.Although the premises are unlicensed, customers can bring their own alcoholic drinks without a corkage charge, whilst soft drinks are available to purchase.The food is always hot; extremely tasty and well presented and I have never had a bad meal there in the many years I have been a customer. It is regularly used by male; female; mixed and family parties for celebrations and "Cal" the manager is extremely helpful and will "tweak" dishes to your personal preference.The prices are extremely good value particularly Thursday and Sunday when a four course meal is just £8.50p per persons for almost everything on the extensive menu.I would strongly recommend a visit.

Went here with friends last sunday. What a great Indian Restaurant. Really good choice of meals. The raita you get with the poppadoms is the best I have tasted for a long time. The staff are friendly, the place has had a refurb and looks really good. Food is excellent value for money. They do only serve soft drinks but you can take your own wine and beer. Will definitely go back there again.

I love the lamb balti especially and used to go on the 3 course night special which I really enjoyed. I had a takeaway from them once which was disappointing so would only go there and eat in from now on. The staff are helpful and the restaurant is nice and cosy.

A real shame, food was average but the staff were very offensive, rushing, and not helpful. just wanted you gone. menu seemed rather cheap! suppose that's the clientele the want to attract. Not my cup of tea!!

My husband and I have been here several times and are never disappointed. The menu is varied and as you can now take your own alcohol, it's cheap too. They don't even charge corkage!

I been here today as a treat for the other half as we usually order a take in and thought going out for a change would be nice. The offer that this restaurant has is outstanding, we both had 4 course meals, very good portions all for 8.50 each. This only applies on a Sunday and Thursday. But looking at the menu its good value anyway. The service was 10/10, the food 10/10, decorated lovely. Keep ip the good work and we will be back soon. Thank you to all staff for making my Sunday evening a good one.

Its been refurbished in the dining room and a good job they have done too.New ceilings and walls, new tables and chairs, new crockery and utensils, slighty different menu but still the same excellent food.Out though has gone the bar you can only purchase non alcoholic drinks now, the off license is a minutes walk away an the same side of the street, the one virtually opposite seems to have closed.Another great experience.

Went for a meal with my wife here and was not disappointed. Medium size restaurant but there was nothing medium about the food the service or the price. Pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for a table, especially as we hadn't booked a table and it was a Saturday night. The food was excellent and the waiters were first class. I had the mixed tandoori starter which was lovely and I can highly recommend. My wife had a lovely combination dish of chicken tikka masala and chicken Balti. All excellent lots of flavour and no complaints about portion size either. I can highly recommend this restaurant to one and all. We will be back

Normally we have no problems been using this place for a few years, order a takeaway at half 5 and told it'll be here in 20-40 mins, 1 hr and 20 mins later food arrives after a call saying wheres our food, the driver takes it to wrong house said that they are regulars, i then say well i hope its still hot otherwise i will be conplaining to which he just laughs, said that the traffic was bad due to christmas lights being switched on. Partners food was luke warm, so were the chips and nanns. Overall very disappointed with the food and treatment we recieve which is a shame and i wont be recommending them like i normally do

Visited the Eastern Spice Balti for a good few years now, went on the recommendation of someone after our previous favourite (which in fact was quite close by) changed owners.Have taken quite a few people there and everyone is complimetary about the Eastern Spice.Went a little later than our usual 1830H a few weeks ago and it was incredably busy with takeaways as well as being quite full for eat ins, so service was a little slower than it is at our normal 1830H kick off.If you go you must try the Palak Bahar, and as previous reviewers have mentioned chips (I know I know its an Indian Restaurant but you must try them). Dont go counting those calories though!"

Ordered our takeaway, didn't have to wait long for it to be ready, piping hot and very filling! Would definitely recommend to others!

The Eastern Spice is a decent Indian Restaurant, and possibly the best in Tipton.Good quality food and relatively cheap prices too.

We spent the weekend up the road from M and S, and enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much we dinned there 2 nights in a row. The food was outstanding, the pla e itself is great and the young lady behind the bar was really nice and friendly. We didn't get her name but what a laugh we had with her. Recomemded 110% to everyone.
