Ely Spice indian takeaway in East Cambridgeshire

We used to go here quite regularly for a takeaway and it was always decent if not excellent. The last two visits have seen a massive drop in quality. Overly sweet barely spiced slop which have ended up in the bin. I won’t be returning.

Slow delivery, so lukewarm food, tasteless and a lack of flavour, or spice. Not impressed for the price!!!

Excellent food as always delivery in time

Over 1 and a half hours from placing the order. Was Luke warm.

The website was easy to use, and the staff were friendly when we picked up our order. Aside from that, the food was surprisingly awful. Most the dishes were overly sweet, like cloyingly, nauseatingly sweet. The saag paneer was like creamed spinach with heaps of sugar added to it and no chunks of paneer. The lababdar and butter masala dishes were flavorless sugary slops. The chick peas in the chana masala tasted like cardboard. Indian food is usually one of my favorite cuisines. My expectation is flavorful, complex dishes that make you want to keep going back for more. This was barely edible. I'd also like to add that we both skipped lunch and were quite hungry, and very much looking forward to Indian take-away. I ate as much as I could to satisfy my hunger and we threw the rest in the bin. I'm left feeling really sad.

Wrong order meant that a vegetarian ate meat. Very disappointed

Was a good takeaway - aloo tikka masala was the highlight for me. Standard quality in my opinion versus other takeaways I’ve had at least. Only downside was I didn’t get the papadoms I had ordered but was easy enough to get a refund through just eat

Sag paneer worst I’ve ever had

Great food, however it was delivered too early. I had preordered for a later delivery, and the food arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes early, before I was ready for it.

Absolutely amazing food as always , really friendly driver , food always arrives piping hot. Really reasonable minimum order so can happily order for just one.

deliciously fresh curries. Will definitely order again.

Starters and chips were extremely greasy. The curry was dry with no gravey. The lentil dish was sour tasting. Really disappointing. It all went in the bin. The food arrived on time.

Great food at a reasonable price, friendly delivery drivers, rarely late. Will be ordering here again :)

Luke warm no worries to microwave but the starter felt more like a stew no depth of flavour. Breads a let down sadly

Good food and arrived in good time and still warm, very tasty

Beautiful curry, the chicken was so tender!

Great food. Fresh veg. Delicious.

Absolutely excellent service all round.

Food was hot & tasty. Delivered on time. Very good service.

Takeaway only. Great food at reasonable prices. Food is prepared in good time and the service is attentive.

Food was absolutely delicious!

Still the best Indian takeaway

After a bad experience with a take away, we were invited back to have a meal in the restaurant, It was amazing glad we decided to visit, we were looked after from the moment we stepped in the door until we left, we were given advise on which curry to choose and the food was exceptional - Thank you we will definitely return.

Thought I would give them a try after a not so good previous order. Waited over an hour for a 15 min delivery, on calling to find out what’s happened was told the food will not be delivered as I was being aggressive and hung up. Will NOT be going there again!!

Lovely hot yummy passanda very good portion sizes too

Received order, was missing the onion bhajis,phoned straight away, asked for refund as no driver available to bring, was told it would be done, still waiting for refund

I love Ely Spice, the food is always brilliant. Sadly this time the wrong rice was delivered and I received chilli rice instead of egg and it was far too hot to enjoy.

Food was amazing, fast delivery but unfortunately food was only lukewarm.

was cold ,ended up in the microwave 😔

So many options to choose from.. the food is always delicious. 😋

king Pran Pakkora was delicious, Lamb chops big and meaty. Great meal thanks

Our 3rd meal ordered from Ely Spice and not disappointed, food was hot and really tasty.

Amazing food as always and such a kind and friendly delivery driver 🙏🏻💖

Everything was absolutely perfect

I loved this meal. The Tikka sauce was excellent. It was the first time I have had food from here and it’s now my favourite. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again soon. Excellent!!!

Decent curry, good value for money. Would order again

High quality, delicious food as always.

Lovely food as always - best naan’s around!!

Amazing service , especially on NYE. Lovely food and a wonderfully polite gentleman who delivered.

Wrong naan arrived but apart from that was great quality as always. Recommend 👌

The best curry we’ve had in a long time! Thank you!

excellent service and food. always delivered hot and on time.

Naga, bread and sundries were outstanding 👌👌

Food wasn't as nice as usual. Samba Dall was very thick and dry.

Food is always great, would highly recommend

this was a nice curry however it was NOT a bhuna, it was creamy and yellow where as bhuna is usually darker and chunks of onions etc so i was very disappointed on that end that the curry was not what i was expecting but other than that it was good food

My order arrived towards the end of the expected delivery time and despite it not actually being late, Ely Spice adders free dish to my order to thank me for my patience. The food, as always, was really tasty and the portions were generous. A service you can rely on for quality and quick delivery.

Food was obismal , service great but food was nausty

Down south in the truck and they delivered directly to me on a lay-by. Felt like a treat and a treat is what I got, amazing hot food, amazing taste and good portion. Guy on the phone was very polite and helpful as well. Top place and hope I park in this lay-by again.

The restaurant needs to employ a chef, not a cook. Way too many flavours were lost or none existing. Too much oil, burnt spices and undercooked nan breads. All the basics were not achieved.

Lovely flavour. Plenty of food and hot despite delivery 10miles away

Great food. Lovely flavours and arrived hot and on time

Great service,prompt delivery. Have used Ely Spice for some time and never had any issues.

Found a bone in the tandoori chicken put me off shame as they are usually very good but finding a bone has now seriously put me off ordering again

Lovely, hot and tasty. Will use you again.

Large choice of Indian dishes homemade and tasty.

Delicious food, very fast and friendly service.

Gorgeous curry! Food was delivered ahead of schedule and roasting hot. Special mentions to the aloo tikka masala and the garlic chilli chicken - both absolutely phenomenal. This is our new go to take away!

Selected my order for 8.45 but it came 10 minutes early. Delivery driver was really nice about it but the food was Luke warm and had to microwave.

Food ok, missing item, which spoiled dinner for us. 2 hours since order and still waiting for the restaurant to complete the order we actually placed

Always delicious, our go to for Indian takeaway.

And still, the best curry in Ely.

Fantastic service as always. Even though there had been an RTC that meant the driver had to drive a long way round to avoid it, the food still arrived hot. Can't fault the service or the food, it's always great.

Food was amazing as always! Was a bit late but worth the wait

Nice tikka masala lots mushroom rice fast delivery thank you.

They missed out part of my order and the shashlik was fairly flavourless. Bhajis were nice though

First time ordering whilst on holiday in the area. Absolutely delicious food, really hot on arrival, chicken pakoras still crispy. Both curries were just scrummy, lots of flavour and spice. Will definitely order next time we're in the area

Been recommended so many times so we had to try. Absolutely delicious, hot, crispy (pakoras), flavoursome food. Huge portions too. Really can't fault any of it. Will order again next time. Thank you

Very happy with Ely spice food is great 5*

Really tasty. The mixed tandoori grill in particular was nice

Lamb rogan was lovely but butter lamb was inedible, rock hard lamb and vile, fortunately portions were big enough that we could share a main between 2, not worth £40+

amazing food good portion sizes and nice staff :)

Really disappointed with the poppadoms. May as well not have bothered.

It wasn’t ready when I arrived. The food when we got home was wrong with a prawn dish actually lamb. It all tasted very good though and good size portions but to get a dish wrong was disappointing

Great food, always hot, best Indian in Ely!

Great food as always. Their Delivery driver super friendly too!

Restaurant gave driver wrong address.

The food was lovely and it came quickly, it was nice and hot too

Good food. Don’t know why so many bad reviews got delivery from here for a few years and it’s always tasty and speedy.

Lovely and hot. Further away than normal indian take away and was hotter. Tasted delicious so would definitely order from ely spice again

Punctual, tasty curry. Will definitely be using you again. Thank you.

Easy to order and delivered on time by pleasant delivery person.

Little bit late but was kept informed Ely spice threw in some lovely extras for the inconvenience. As usual everything we ordered and the extras were excellent. Hoping they run late again 😜

Below average food and overpriced

Really lovely food, nice and hot, quick delivery.

Order was delayed slightly and we didnt get the Onion Bhaji's we ordered. We felt there no point ringing up as by the time we would have recevied the bhaji's we would have eaten the rest

I order from here quite regularly. Food is excellent, portion size good value for money and delivery service has just got to be the best in the Ely area.Well done guys, keep up the great standards!!

Awful service, poor food, poor service

Great service and food as always

Although the food was late, I appreciate the popularity of the restaurant, it’s Friday night and we live on the outskirts of Ely so I’m grateful to have such great food delivered to our door meaning I don’t have to cook! The food is always very good and the service is always friendly so thank you!

Excellent tasting food yet again ,best takeaway curry around IMHO always hot when delivered and the guys are always polite . We Will definitely be ordering again . Keep up the great work Ely Spice 🙏

One meal was as expected. One was very watery.

It was all delicious, but that was the best chicken pakora we have ever had!

Delicious food as always. Friendly delivery. One of our favourites.

Great all round service and delicious food never had a bad meal from here

One item missing. Gave a call to the restaurant where someone told me they would deliver it straight away. No one ever came…

Delicious food, reasonably priced and delivered earlier than suggested.

Always order from here it’s the best one around
