Empress Rooms in Doncaster

Fantastic night, really enjoyed (music masters band),Jemma and staff were exceptional.

A little disapointed with our evening, the band were good, but had a break of 75 mins!!!! Where a mediocre disco started. Had tickets and no one checked them on arrival, we could have easily turned up and not paid as we came In and out of the venue a few times but still no ticket checks.

This was our first visit to the Empress Building and we weren't disappointed, great band playing all our favourite songs, good food and a fantastic atmosphere, looking forward to going back soon.

Love this place. Fantastic entertainment great staff. Always happy to help another great night brilliant band. Hope to see them again.

Jemma’s done a fantastic job on bringing this venue back to life. She and the staff work very hard so we can all enjoy the show.

Nice venue and family friendly welcome and brilliant staff best bar in mexborough

Went to see Spandau Ballet tribute. Excellent night cannot fault anything

My friend and I had a lovely night group was fantastic lovely memories for me I used to go there on Saturday afternoon in my teens

Excellent night fantastic group (Music Masters) a must see. Fabulous bar staff lovely venue .

Been a few times now always a fantastic night. Great bands something for everyone. Try it and find out for yourself. You won't regret it. Thanks Gemma and all your staff for great night's. 😁

Had a wonderful Friday night. The band was amazing. We danced the night away. Thank you so much xxx

What a lovely little venue! The Duran Duran tribute were fab and we were all dancing! What a great night!

Amazing venue, new table and chairs too. Good for tribute bands. Staff friendly and helpful

Fantastic venue great dance floor and helpful staff ... but the band was disappointing vocally the bench mark is Thor or Coyote so after the build up this level was what was expected. Also the intrim music was mixed we expected full on Rock. After saying all that the evening did seem to be enjoyed by all so maybe my expectations were too high.

Been to a few events here enjoyed every one I've been to love the springy dance floor it was used as a dance studio when I was younger

Excellent night, great group and atmosphere

Whenever my friends, family and I visit the Empress we always have a great time.

Amazing yet again. And a big thank you to Gemma and the team. Brilliant venue

Fantastic group. Brilliant night. Pie and peas always great.

An excellent little venue ran by very pleasant staff. Our first time here to see Duran, so good to have these types of venues up and running and great to see them being supported by many people. Jemma, (behind the scenes,) was very responsive when I had a couple of questions to ask prior to the event. Keep up the good work guys! Thank you for a great night! x

Was a good event held, not over crowed just right, excellent music, polite friendly staff

First time in the empress building firstly staff are lovely and helpful and even though busy took the time to explain things lovely venue really enjoyed the Duran Duran tribute and food delivered to your table will definitely be back thank you

We won tickets in a competition run by the Empress Ballroom in Mexborough to see a Duran Duran tribute. We had never been here before, so wasn't sure what to expect. We had an amazing time. The Empress Ballroom was spacious, the staff lovely & they served Cruzcampo a win for me. The show was great, we were in a group of 4 & we all enjoyed it very much. The icing on the cake was winning the first prize in the raffle, another 4 tickets for a future show of our choice so we will look forward to going back soon xx

Had a brilliant night in the empress building the management , staff , and act ( Duran Duran ) all work really hard to give us a fantastic night , keep up the good work the empress building mexbourgh, ps the ballroom is a amazing venue,,

We enjoyed our evening. Apart from when a member of staff opened the big doors and let the cold air in. Because of this we had to leave before the end of the night. The Adel Tribute act was very entertaining and friendly. And I enjoyed the pie and peas. The only down side was the fact that the door was opened

Ab fab building fab hostess xxx ..loadsa exciting events on all year round ..Will be back jem xxx hope my mate quammie will be too xx

We have been to three Northern Soul events at The Empress Rooms, Mexborough and each time we've had a great experience.

A seriously amazing venue and great team of friendly staff. I highly recommend partying here.

Thanks to Jemma and the team for great service during the daytime disco. Drinks were swift, the toilet paper topped up mid-session, and to top it off, they kept my handbag safe until I came back to claim it. Thanks a million!

I had an issue receiving my tickets for an event sent a message to the Empress had a quick response from Jemma who solved the problem and issued my tickets.

Really nice place we really liked it there and will go back soon.

The Empress Building In Mexbourgh. Saturday evening, great show, seeing the group, music masters.

Fantastic menu selection, something for everyone's taste - fruity, spicy, mild, hot. Staff friendly, good service.

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.

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. 😞

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

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

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

My second visit to Goa Spice and I was not impressed with the food. I eat lots of Indian food and create my own curries from scratch at home. My wife and I have visited India on numerous occasions. Now to the Review. The place...

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.
