Empress Rooms in Doncaster

Great place see some good shows

Saw Dame Ida,lovely venue only draw back it was rather chilly inside

Went for a party and it was amazing. The venue was brilliant and the staff were fantastic.

London prices for drinks in Mexborough venue. I know everything has gone up in price, but £10.80 for 2 lagers is astounding. My relative had a party and they agreed on a price for the buffet, later they informed my relative the price had increased (due to cost of living) by £150, which they cannot do once a price has been agreed. Myself as a caterer viewed the food and was disgusted with the amount for the price they paid. I could have done a bigger buffet for about 300 less. They don't allow outside caterers, hence the reason I didn't do it. £1,000 is diabolical, won't be returning any time soon

Cheeky little curry 🍛 to wake the tast buds up ✅️

Wow great food and service. The Lamb Passanda was terrific. Good sized portions and reasonable prices. 4 of us enjoyed our meals. Will certainly be back.

Really enjoyed soul night brilliant atmosphere

Took grandkids for breakfast with the Grinch.l . They loved it . Special thanks to Jemma who went the extra mile to search for our tickets

Tables & floor were sticky, Ladies toilets left a lot to be desired. Actual toilet pans were reasonably clean, floor clean in middle but god knows when sides/edges were cleaned. Sinks were grubby & hot water taps on all 3 sinks were impossible to turn on, soap dispensers were empty, so a quick swill in cold water was all. No paper towels, & hand dryers so weak it would have taken 20 mins to dry your hands. Ended up drying my hands on my jumper/ jeans. Not impressed.

Great event venue and friendly staff, decent drink prices and very spacious function room.

Highly recommended for small venue events

I have never had a night like it. Saw Brian Blessed here and roared with laughter. Decent amount of free parking really close by. Friendly staff and they give great value for what they put on. The folk who run the Empress are obviously passionate about it and managed to arrange a top evening. All I can say is GORDON'S ALIVE!!!

Great little venue and you can tell the team really care about making sure the venue serves the community. We saw Brian Blessed there which was great.

Great nights out can’t fault it.

First time and probably last. Nothing wrong with the venue, or the person who I went to see. But crammed in and unable to sit relaxed with people having to squeeze past to get to their seats, toilet and bar. Oh and given plastic drinks vessels. 😞

Good venue, free parking available just over the road. Good choice of drinks on the bar.

A glorious building hosting a glorious person..... Brian Blessed.... More that a national treasure 😊😊

Love The Beautifully Presented food by Very attentive Staff- An Exceptional Team. Cannot believe how Many Years Since we Danced in There - --"-As Empress Ballroom" in The 50s and 60s"

First Time at Goa Spice Mexborough but won't be the last. Draft and king cobra was good. Food was excellent Bengal lamb was recommended by the owner Sham, and it was as he described the rest of our group had nothing but when do we come again. This is a clean and authentic restaurant and recommended to come and enjoy your special evening. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic food great nice and fresh.service was really friendly. went Friday early evening lovely and quiet..First time we have been highly recommend.

Every dish had so much flavour not had an Indian like that for 30 + years defo recommended an will defo go back pleasant staff always helpful and polite

We have been coming to Goa Spice since Sharm took over a couple of years ago. Shy asked us our names when we first visited and has remembered us every time we walk through the door. Their hospitality is first class treating everyone as extra special The food is very good. It’s the best place to eat in Mexborough. 5 stars all round.

The food was very nice, but other areas need a lot of work. We had poppadoms to start, was half way through when a waiter came over to ask if we were ready for our mains, with mouthfuls of food we advised we were still eating our starter. Then we ordered some more drinks, my partner just asking for a single Malibu as she still had half a bottle of coke from the first order, they brought a fresh coke, wasn’t required so declined it. The mains were nice, very enjoyable. But we felt rushed from start to finish. The bill came but we’d been over charged for our drinks, we had a feeling we would be charged for the unwanted coke, and we were, plus another few quid they couldn’t work out what it was for. £21 for 2 pints, 2 single Malibu’s and a small bottle of coke would be alot even if we’d been in London! Overall, the food was nice, but the service needs improvement and who ever works the bill out needs a few more maths lessons.

We collected a takeaway . Very friendly chap on reception . Order was ready within minutes . Piping hot . We chose two chicken curries, naan and rice .Plenty for two people to share Tasty and well presented with fresh lemon, lime and coriander garnish . Will go again .

We tried goa spice for the first time last night as it had good reviews and were not disappointed. The venue has kerb appeal, welcoming staff and, despite not having booked and there being a party of at least 20, we were offered a choice of tables. Served quickly by friendly attentive but not annoying staff who despite being quite young were superb and had good knowledge of the dishes. Well priced good food, will definately be going back.

Visited Goa last Thursday 19th with three colleagues all anticipating a down to earth good balti and we weren’t disappointed. Great quality food at reasonable price accompanied by good service and a welcome. Hope to revisit

Another lovely meal at Goa Spice Mexbrough I was joking with one of the owners Sharm( excuse spelling) .. he swayed me off our usual Chicken Tikka Masala, to a Goa spice version… Whilst it was nice , I preferred our usual version At which point, he turned up with the sauce from the one we normally order( no charge) … a good laugh and joke set the atmosphere for a good night I would recommend anyone to eat here Service second to none Priced reasonably and Ice cold Cobra Lager on draught Thank you once again Steph and Paul Hinks

After the closure of Doncaster tandoori finally found an alternative.good menu lots of variety.some new dishes.excellent

My husband is a massive fan of Indian food so we have eaten at many different restaurants. Goa spice is by far our favourite, I have had the majority of the menu and never had a meal that hasn't been 5 stars out of five. The staff can't do enough for you, the price is reasonable and the Wednesday/Sunday offer can't be missed. By far the best Indian restaurant in the area.

I was visiting family and they said they have been to Goa Spice for a curry previously and that it was EXCELLENT! They do an offer on Wednesday and Sunday evenings when you can have a curry, starter and poppadoms for £12.50. We went on a Sunday night and the place was quite busy but not too hectic. the waiters were all really friendly and courteous and made us feel very welcome. The food really did live up to the hype and I had the Mexborough Rhubarb Special which was tasty. Highly Recommended and the reviews on trip advisor back this up!

Brill night good food nice staff all in all couldn't fault it. Would definitely recommend will be going again 👍 👌

As usual an excellent meal and great service. The Garlic and Onion Naans are delicious, I cannot fault the food here. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Usually have takeaway, but decided to call in first time as friends birthday. Cobra on draught. Food expertly prepared. A wide range of flavours and heat levels to choose from. Staff were attentive and friendly throughout. I personally had the Mumbai chicken, with pilau rice and cheese/garlic naan - just about finished it 👍 Everyone else raved about their own food and how great it was Owner/manager (sorry forgot to ask name) gave us each an Irish creme shot on the way out 😁 Will easily be dining in more often. Till next time, thanks guys 👏👏

The food was excellent food and so was the service. Very freindly atmosphere and authentic. Outstanding

A dual birthday trip to Goa Spice was excellent as usual. Food very good and hot, great service and a great welcome. Would recommend to anyone

We live local but have never got round to trying here, we normally order from Indus in Conisbrough but had a couple of bad experiences with them in the past. So last night we thought we’d give Goa a try! So glad we did! Delivery...

The Hubby and I dined her last night and were impressed with everything from the quality of the food and service, through to the exceptionally clean and fresh environment. We were delighted with the food which was absolutely delicious with portions sizes generous enough to...

By far the best food around, wether it’s eat in or takeaway, the service is the best bar none. Eating in the staff are polite & efficient & on takeaway delivery always smart & pleasant.

Went for meal Sunday evening had the buffet, not coz I'm tight ,it gives you a chance to savour dishes that you perhaps wouldn't normally try. Must say good portions, tasty food and most of all great service. Would recommend.

We have just got back from goa spice in mexborough, well I can honestly say these guys deserve their excellent reviews. The food was outstanding . The restaurant is lovely inside . But what stood out for us was the exceptional service from the staff....

My first time here as I was at a friend's house nearby. Had the Lamb Naga. The second we walked in, the staff greeted us like old friends. The place was busy (always a good sign) but we only waited 5 mins for a table....

We've had a few takeaways from here over the last few months since restaurant got taken over, and in all honesty we have never been let down. Food has always been on point. As a vegetarian we generally struggle to find enough options, but this...

£62 my bill came to , and honestly, the only thing that was nice about the whole experience was the containers the food arrived in !!! Needless to say this place is not recommended in this household 24/10/21 is the date we will not forget...

Just been to Goa Spice for a meal Food both chicken and lamb were excellent Highly recommend mushroom China chat and bengali lamb Staff very friendly warm and helpful. When Bill came we were pleasantly surprised how reasonably priced it was!!

Excellent range of vegetarian dishes. Staff friendly, efficient and lots of hand sanitiser available, with tables well spaced out. Clean and decorated beautifully.

Just been tonight for the first time in Thurcroft what can I say beautiful food will be definitely going again. Amazing food excellent service

My son went kickboxing there. It's good. The waiting room for parents is separate to the area where the children train, it is a good idea in my opinion because it will be less distracting for the children.

Well I won't deny I was expecting this place to be a 7/10 instead it really surprised me and ended up a 9/10 (by the way 9/10 for me is really really good) Been twice now and I have to say on both occasions the...

We had a takeaway from Goa when it first opened a couple of weeks ago and whilst it was good, decided to eat at the restaurant. We arrived to a lovely welcome from all the staff and were seated at a table of our choice....

First time visit after a recommendation. Really enjoyed the meal. I had mixed starter and Chicken Jalfrezi and a Garlic and Onion naan. My Wife had Onion Bhaji and a Omelette and Chips with Salad. Everything was delicious including the Popperdom and Pickles. Washed down...

My son picked this restaurant to celebrate his exam results. What an excellent choice the food was delicious service was a bit slow due to staff shortages but they couldn't apologize enough in fact it was so nice we have been again.

Well, first time we have have been here. Was greeted when we walked in to, have you booked & sanitise your hands. Then he looked through a pile of menus for the cleanest ones. Was shown to table & left. Had to ask for drink....

Always a superb meal. Friendly staff and great food. Boris helped but £18 for two, you cannot fault the food or the service. Might have been slightly better if we weren’t sat next to the Dingles!!

ATF is the best gym I've been to!

Mexborough town centre is a bit sparse apart from a few pubs or so it seems, so the Goa spice is a little jewel in a bit of a desert ,the food was pretty much the usual but the mango fish made a nice change...

Cant fault this place. Absolutely amazing food. Very polite staff. I was offered a free beer while i waited for the collection order, i was early arriving they werent late. Definately be back.

It was a lovely meal. Nice atmosphere and lovely pleasant waiters. My partner and i both ordered the sauce Tandoori mixed grill and Mexborough special naan to share. Absolutely stunning. Very tasty. Highly recommended both dishes (especially the naan) We will be back

Fantastic as always beautiful food we all have varying pallets and everyone agreed it’s was all superb food even the pickle tray and to top it all they have COBRA on draught non of this bring you own rubbish. It was a pleasure from Beginning...

This is simply the best curry house for miles around. I won't go anywhere else now. The food is superb and the prawn puree starter is the best I have eaten anywhere. The Mexborough Special Rhubarb main is genius and I am now reluctant to...

We are regulars here, cannot fault it. It's great food and staff are great too. Serve nice wine too :)

Excellent food and staff. Whether eat in or take away, never disappointed. Excellent value. Will definitely revisit Goa Spice.

Second visit tonight, great food and excellent service. Will definitely return. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Myself and my family went for a midweek birthday treat. The service and staff was amazing, the food 5 star and when they found out it was my birthday the manager sent a member of staff out to get me a birthday cake. We all...

Ordered from here a few times for a takeaway, but for my celebratory graduation meal last night we chose to eat in! The staff were lovely and the food was gorgeous! Definitely recommend!

Visited her Sunday for my wife’s 30th, I had previously visited in September as a ‘lads’ group and we were just as impressed then as we were this time. We hadn’t booked but that wasn’t a problem, they were very attentive throughout our meal. The food was amazing! I love Indian and have been most in and around the Doncaster area. This one is by far the best, everything spot on. It wasn’t too busy but I think when word spreads this will change. I just hope they keep up the high standards until then! We will be back soon!

Spendy but worth every penny. I am just wondering why Itcost the same to eat in as delivery? Bring your wallet, come back over and over again. Polite staff who are more the willing to cater to your every need. Fabulous establishment.

Excellent food , food was really nice lots of flavour and a good choice , the service was great and the beer was good

Visited here with family and friends on Saturday night, it’s only down the road from us which makes it nice and easy. The food was beautiful, with some unique dishes as well as the classics. They even sell Kingfisher, which was great.

Just had a delivery from Goa Spice. Simply the best takeaway in the area. Despite the delivery driver not being able to find us (big sign on the side of the house) Loved the food!

I visited this new Indian restaurant on Tuesday night (18th) June. Really nice that at last we have a restaurant in the town. The staff are welcoming and attentive and the food was superb. Well presented and delicious the food was excellent. Definately recommend this place and local people need to support the staff in this venture. Give it a try you won't be disappointed !!

Couldn't fault service or food, both excellent, would thoroughly recommend and we'll definitely be back

Where do I start it was a pleasure from start to finish our table was decorated for my son with out asking thank you, lovely touch, the staff are pleasant and very friendly go out of their way to help ,the food was very tasty not like me to finish anything but I defo finished mine it was lovely and everyone else enjoyed their meals in the party after finishing the staff had even bought him a cake with candle and sung happy birthday brilliant touch even tho he was embarrassed topical teenager they also have cobra on draught and by far the best Indian in mexborough don’t try anywhere else you’ll not be disappointed!! We will defo return keep up the good work very impressive

Visited here on a Saturday night,with family.

Visited Goa Spice on a Saturday evening. Atmosphere was very nice and all staff very friendly. Food was excellent. Worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Thought we’d give this newly opened indian restaurant a try, what can I say..

First time visiting Goa Spice with my friend. Greeted by staff as we entered and we were amazed at how busy it was - always a good sign. Staff were very attentive. The food was delicious- prawn purée followed by chicken shashlik, saag aloo and fluffy coconut rice - we cleared the lot!! Highly recommend and will visit again soon

My partner and I came up from London to visit my parents. Having tried all the local curry houses we noticed that Goa Spice was new and gave it a try. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us, they recommended dishes and gave advice. The food itself was extremely tasty, not greasy in the slightest and felt very authentic. Big portions, friendly atmosphere and super tasty food means we will definitely be back next time we come up to visit my family!

Goa Spice adds something special to Mexborough's night life , in a part of town which has become very quiet when the shops close.

Mexborough has very few if any decent restaurants, but we visited Goa Spice and were pleasantly surprised, tastefully decorated and chilled out lounge. Made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. We really enjoyed our night excellent service, pleasant and polite staff and more importantly the food was excellent. Definitely a return visit for us. Thank You so much Dean, Mexborough.

Visited Goa spice for the first time tonight and will definitely be back. Excellent food, excellent service, nice environment and good prices. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left we could not fault anything. The service was excellent , friendly and attentive but as previously mentioned not over the top. The food was excellent- a really good choice of menu and the food was delicious. It is the best Indian food I have had for some time. I really hope this restaurant thrives - it deserves to and how nice to have such quality so local. I would say give it a try, support this local restaurant you won’t be disappointed

Visited Goa Spice last night. This was a brilliant first time visit and won't be the last. The staff were very attentive without being over the top. Our choice of starter was the mixed starter for 2 was a excellent choice. My main course being Madras Lamb (recommend) wife's choice Saag Kumbi. Would recommend that the Goa Spice is the best go to Indian Restaurant in the neighborhood.

First time here, it won't be the last. Excellent service, choice of meals and drinks. Starter was much larger than we realised, struggled to eat main course as this was also substantial. Well done the Goa Spice team, we will be back!!

First visit tonight and can say it won’t be our last - excellent and delicious meals and the service was also first class - thanks for making us feel so welcome

I don’t have a bad word to say about this place. Our waiter was knowledgable and gave us recommendations from the menu. We got a free portion of onion bhajis while we waited for our mains which were absolutely delicious. The food itself was the best Indian food I’ve had for a long time. Very flavoursome. After our meal the waiter gave us a complimentary drink which was a nice surprise. Hopefully this brilliant service and high quality food will continue. Keep up the good work

Well what can i say the food was amazing and the service was exceptional would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes Indian food. Defiantly on my come back list.

Just visited this evening, food and service were excellent. We eat out a lot as a family so always looking for new places to try. From the starters to the main it was all beautiful. We will definitely be back, thanks..

The nicest indian we have ever had!! Service was quick and the quality of food was amazing! The delivery driver was very pleasant as well!! Definitely recommend!! Chicken dupiaza 😍😍😍
