Four Counties Spice in Tamworth

We went here on a spur of the moment decision, having had the place recommended by friends. We weren’t disappointed. Great food served by friendly and obliging staff in nice surroundings (an old pub sympathetically decorated). Very reasonably priced too. What’s not to like!

New Year’s Eve . The restaurant as expected was full, we had a pre booked table. We were greeted with smiles and quickly shown to our table. The waiter took our drink order and chatted with us. He was soon back with us to take our food order. Our meal arrived and was absolutely delicious. The staff checked in on us throughout, they were so incredibly busy but at no time did we feel rushed or that they didn’t have time for us. When we left several hours later we were seen off with a Happy New Year . We will definitely be back here again.

What a lucky find five minutes from the M42. A very warm welcome from Kam made our visit very welcoming. The food was delicious and the service efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back.

We have used four counties for many years. Every time the food is amazing. This time it was a take out, but, even so, the quality of the food was not compromised. The staff are very friendly and always go above and beyond to make your visit special. Would highly recommend.

I went to twycross zoo and on the way I found this place to sit down and eat. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were attentive! There was a big group of us so was seated in the private function room upstairs. Food was flavourful and will definitely come back

Four Counties Spice in the UK offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a menu filled with flavorful dishes. The spices used in their cuisine are vibrant and aromatic, creating a memorable taste. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Biryani were particularly delicious. Prices are reasonable, making it a great value for money. Although the dessert menu could be expanded, overall, Four Counties Spice is a fantastic choice for spice lovers.

We booked here and got a table on the day, which was lucky. The gentleman greeted us and showed us to our table. The service was quick and very professional. We had a good laugh with the man, and he really did make the evening wonderful. The food was delicious, it was faultless. Would highly recommend.

Just read a one star review from Pathfinder on this site and cant believe they are taking about the same Restaurant. We have many meals there and continue with the takeaway service during Covid restrictions. My daughter adores the onion bargees from there and our curries are all very nice. If the food is that bland, why then are they always busy?

We ordered from Four Counties Spice for the first time and were really looking forward to it based on, mostly good, reviews. We could not have been more disappointed. The first thing was when ordering over the phone, my husband tried to order the litle dips you always get with popadoms but they did not know what he was talking about!! In EVERY indian we have been to, whether to eat in or take away, we have automatically got the 4 dips of mango chutney, minty yoghurt, chopped onions and spicy pickle with our popadoms. The only thing that came with the meal was onions which were chopped really thickly and a yoghurt dip that was so tasteless and watery it was impossible to tell what it was flavoured with - if anything. The onion bhajis were inedible. They were dry and stodgy. The prawn on puree was also so bland I didnt want to finish it.My husband ordered chicken tikka balti - again it was bland. I had chicken tikka biryani - again I did not want to finish it as it was just bland, bland, bland.Whenever we go to a new indian restaurant we get the same dishes for our first order so we get a good idea of the quality etc. Because of our bad experience here we will never be ordering again.

Ok, so from the outside this restaurant doesn’t look like much. I have driven past hundreds of times and never popped in. However, it had been posted a couple of times on our village Facebook page and we thought we would give it a try. Oh my word... it is incredible. Firstly, it is absolutely spotless. (Even the fire extinguisher didn’t have a spec of dust on!) It was great from a covid point of view too with plastic screens between tables and guided to hand sanitiser upon entry. The food is by far the best Indian I have had in years. I am normally funny about chicken, check it thoroughly and chop out any nasty bits. The chicken was perfect! Huge chunks, very tender and great quality. My partner had lamb and loved it. I consider myself a sheek kebab connoisseur... best I’ve had in years. Staff were really friendly too. I will 100% be back without fail!

Takeaway for 13, pre ordered day before. Ready bang on time. Good price excellent food, excellent service. All food delicious and very helful.

First meal out after lockdown- would not be anywhere else. Quality of food is always excellent, friendly staff. May pay slightly more but well worth it. If you like really hot, just ask them to spice it up - nothing is ever a problem. Nice crisp cold Cobra on tap also.

Only just getting a chance to review experiences and post my 2019 photos !Never disappointed when I go to this restaurant. It’s small, we all sit tight and close to each other, but you can’t fault the food !Definitely one I’d recommend as a break off the M42 or just because.

Food is always amazing, never once had a problem both eating in or take-away. Staff are so friendly and attentive, couldn't be more polite or helpful. I love this place for Indian food, never disappoints.

Had a lovely meal with friends. Prices are very reasonable and food was very tasty. Service was paced just right. Made extra special by staff member Kam and his fabulous sense of humour.

Often take the family here for dinner on a weekend or birthdays and everyone it's lovely food and a warm welcome.my favourite curry house.

We have eaten in the restaurant but have had a more takeaways from here . Always delicious and different , sometimes you can eat supposedly different dishes at Indians but taste basically the same dish , it is not like that at 4 counties , you do get what is described on the menu! The staff are always very friendly and pleasant .

Tired decor and a cramped reception area greeted us as we entered Four Counties Spice. The portents were not good from the outset and looking back, i should have followed my instincts and left immediately. Nevertheless, I have learned to never judge a Indian restaurant by the aesthetics, these can often be misleading. Sadly, this was not the case at Four Counties. I ordered a chef special, Assamese Murgh Jhalfrezi and the other dinners went with Balti’s. Each dish was bland lacking in flavour and naively presented. The meals were so bland that one of the party described their Balti as being like tinned curry soup with chicken chunks!!! We all agreed this was the worst Indian meal we had ever eaten.

Congratulations Mr Ali and your staff for the wonderful food and service we received on Christmas Day. Exceptional, 5 star!!

nice restaurant this evening service was very poor table booked for 7-30pm at 8-30pm starters we ordered did not arrive

Excellent food and lovely, friendly and helpful staff. Some unusual dishes on top of the usual Indian favourites. Keema naan is delicious. Look forward to going again.

10/10 best curry I’ve ever had, friendly staff very quick service and beautiful food. Very highly recommend!

Lovely meal with a lovely lady. No better takeaway across all four counties, wow what a treat! Have to say the manager was absolutely Lovely, was a brilliant night and hope to return soon.

Das Restaurant befindet sich direkt im Zentrum vier Counties Mitte in England.

Superb food and excellent friendly service! Girls very enjoyable evening out, we had poppadoms to start, curries, naan breads and rice, bottle of red, soft drink, 4 g&t; and 2 baileys coffee for only £ 75 between 3 of us. Fantastic value! 100% recommend.

First Indian takeaway from this restaurant. Absolutely delicious. Staff very courteous too. Thank you. We will be back for more lovely food.

Just visited our local Indian restaurant and been served with a lovely meal on super hot plates, just how we like them. The chicken madras was so tasty and a good portion.

The service, food and seating were all excellent as is always the case when we visit The Four Counties spice.

Visited here with friends. It was busy but after waiting nearly an hour for the starters I was getting a little frustrated and irritated, eventually they came out and the rest of the food followed promptly after. I’ve given 4 stars as the food was delicious and staff very helpful. I will visit again and also order food from here. Let’s hope the wait won’t be so long next time

I reckon Four Counties Spice as got to be one of the top Indian Restaurants in the Midlands. The food is always excellent - best Tandoori King Prawn I’ve ever tasted - and I’ve tasted lots ! And the Naans are unbeatable . The food is always hot and freshly cooked - the service is quick but not hurried and the prices are ok. Recommend to anyone - great night out. ���

Really friendly staff and a nice, clean, quiet restaurant out in the country so no late night drunken revellers joining you. The food is plentiful and delicious and very reasonably priced.

visited last night after hearing mixed reviews. Food was OK. Nothing special at all. Staff very friendly though but not sure if go back again. Food was like eating a curry back in 90's with basic condiments etc

Fantastic service and great food as always. Used them for a house party 50+ people, food just as great as when eating in the restaurant, very competitive price and delivered exactly on time. Would highly recommend for all events and parties

Great food Lots of it Not to bad price Would come here again but need to drive there as bit if a trek there

Love going to this Indian restaurant whenever I am in the area. Friendly staff, good clean and welcoming environment and the food is just soooo good. My favourite.

This is a lovely friendly place with a great menu and really nice staff, would highly recommend. We went to celebrate a birthday with friends and one of our party does not eat chilli, they accommodated her without any fuss

Table for three seated quickly clean and comfortable restaurant,staff very attentive but not pushy ,meal and drinks ordered ,very tasty curry dishes presented efficiently and piping hot overall a very pleasant experience

We live 10 mins drive from this place and order from here often. The food is consistently great and the service is always spot on. We ate in once with our four year old and he was made to feel like a king, he loved it! Nothing is too much trouble either. Top place for Indian food.

In the area on business, limited options for food so gave this place a go.

Reasonable price and nice food.

I have found the food to be consistently good here but sometimes it is excellent and tnight it was, superb juicy prawns in ca superb curry with the right amount of spice. With warm and pleasant staff . Lovley!

I stopped here for a quick meal by myself and entered into a nice experience of Indian dining.....the hosts were excellent, polite respectful. I had a chicken tikka madras with special rice and a garlic Nan bread. All were freshly made and tasted fantastic, to top it all they had cobra.on draft which made my night.. well worth a visit....

Each visit is an enjoyable experience

I'm from Birmingham and have grown up with ladypool road spoiling me for curry. the curries here are full of flavour, tasty, and always served hot. It does get busy of a weekend, the take aways are lovely too. staff are fab and friendly.

We went as 6 friends on a Saturday night at 8pm, we had booked and shown to our table. Good starters and mains. Good choice of dishes and excellent bottle of wine

The food was decent but nothing different than the ordinary town restaurant's so a little let down

A pleasant & warm welcome when we arrived. Excellent menu choice & attentive service. Food was delicious - the mushroom pilau was a meal itself. Catered for our gluten free requirements no problem. Meal is well worth the price paid - which isn’t excessive. Well worth a visit

I went there with my friends. I never tried indian food. The food was very tasty, in a word fantastic. Still i feel it. I am happy for their service as well. Thank you guys.

Having read the last review and seen the positive remedial action taken to placate this person then to leave such a negative feedback which is just beyond belief I felt I had to respond personally.

Absolutely awful meal!! It was our first visit and took my family who had travelled 200 miles to visit us! Very embarrassing and what a disappointment! One of our meals had a long black hair in it (and none of us have dark hair so couldn’t be ours) the lamb was very fatty, the sauces were all similar tasting almost as though out of a jar. The lights above the table were all flashing and had many lightbulbs missing. The staff were rude. The restaurant needs urgent decoration update. Sound petty but also had a vase with very old dead flowers in which doesn’t give the best of impressions for a restaurant. The fire alarm went off twice. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE I would not recommend a visit here!!

After driving by the restaurant a few times we decided to take the dive! (This was a year ago!) since then it has become our regular. Outside doesn't complement the hidden gem within. Lovely food. Always will tweak the food to how you like it. Excellent service and really friendly. Always busy so I take it as a good sign as you have to travel to it. Well worth the drive.

I was in the area working and fancied a curry. I saw the reviews and it was only 5 mins from my hotel.

Have visited many times. Always good food. Had the meat and non meat thali between us. Good selection of food and lots of different flavours. Would always recommend

A regular haunt (once or twice a month) Excellent menu selection. Friendly welcome and pleasant surrounds. We are locals (5 miles away) but this venue is ideal for travellers who are on route East to West Midlands or vice versa who want more than a snack. It is fully licenced and easily accessible from Junction 11 M42 or A444.

This curry house is local to my sisters and we popped in early doors on a weekday. The greeting was welcoming and there were a number of early diners. The menu offered great choice and many chef specialtype dishes rather than long lists of the usual kormas, jalfrezis etc. Pops and pickles followed by a very tasty Makhan Chicken and garlic nan, great portion sizes and excellent value for money. Good service, attentive and not rushed.

Spice is just down the road from where i live which I'm thrilled about as it's amazing. It's the only indian i will eat at/order from because the quality is second to none. I order from here all the time. I would like to eat in more however collecting a takeaway is more convenient. This makes the times we do venture out to eat in the restaurant more special. The food is incredible, I've never had a bad meal here. The service is excellent and staff are friendly. I love this place.

We visited here as everyone says how amazing it and we have heard loads of great reviews from friends. We were really disappointed as it wasn't a WOW experience. The curry was quite bland and it wasn't particularly creamy. Service was ok but nothing special. I wouldn't rush back in coming to this Indian, there are far superior we have been to.

This ex pub is just out of Tamworth and as well as excellent food, service and drinks also offers great value for money.The waiter knew the menu and was able to recommend food based on what you like to eat.This place is a little gem and although I want to keep it for myself it's too good not to share.Definately recommend

Soggy samosas, a bland chicken rezala, which is billed as 'special' with a sweet and sour flavour, and bland under seasoned bhindi and sag bhaji sides. The seekh kebab starter was the only edible element. It is the first time I've binned a meal. Truly awful.

My wife & I had a wonderful meal here, with her enjoying a mild curry whilst I went for something more spicy. We had a Peshwari nan which was device, cauliflower bahjee & mushroom rice to accompany. Ice cream to follow & drinks. The bill was about £40 which was very reasonable for what we had and the quality was great. Can't praise them enough & we will go back.

Great Meal & I'm sure you won't be disappointed. We ate at 7pm and by the time we left at 8.30pm it was getting busy. The restaurant is very traditional & doesn't try to be one of those posey contemporary types. The staff were all very smart & service was excellent. The menu offered plenty of choice & our meal was hot & served on warm plates & very tasty. The bill was very reasonable & the "Cobra" was great. Thanks for a pleasant evening & we will be back.

Had a beautiful meal last night . Staff and service very good will definitely be back. The prices are very good , and so are the portions

We visited for the 2nd time last night and once again the food was excellent. Meat and prawns were very tender in my curry. Service great also. Couldn't fault it.

Fantastic friendly service as always, however the food just doesn't appear to be of their usual high standards of late.Please dont let your standards drop.

First time as an eat in and very impressed. Very good service and food soo tasty. First time my two daughters have had a curry and they loved it. Very good value for money as well.

I am new to the area, been to this resturant three times about once a week.Always warm receptionist from staff. Service is first class and food is excellent.Personal attention from Schaf.Always a pleasant experience

Got to say a great find. Not from round these parts but trip advised this place and have to say really enjoyed it. Quiet and relaxed. Starter was very nice. Main meal of Chicken Balti Dhansak was lush. The thing that struck me was that all the food was very hot. Alot of places you go it's barely warm. Really enjoyed it and will deffo go again.

Fantastic meal, could not have been better. Hadn't booked and it was visibly busy, but we were welcomed straight away and seated quickly. Poppadoms and drinks offered and bought straight away while we looked through the menu, with loads to choose from at very reasonable prices, we were left alone to have time to choose and enjoy our poppadoms and dips. Didn't wait long for the main courses eventhough they were constantly serving takeaway meals - obviously very popular. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and probably the best Indian meal I've ever had. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Quiet Sunday night with small group of friends. Plenty of space. Excellent staff. Absolutely delicious food. Good value. Would definitely go there again. Handy location to 5 mins J11 M42. Well worth a visit :)

We have been for a family meal and cannot recommend this Restaurant enough a warm welcome very cosy . The food we all had waa very good quality and the portion sizes generous . The staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble for them.it was our first visit but will be visiting again very soon .

Went here for the very first time last night (07.01.17) on a friends recommendation, lovely clean restaurant, polite friendly staff upon arrival and food very good. My pint of beer was nearly empty so a waiter asked me if I'd like another one, fine, I said no thank you, took another sip, different waiter asked me again if I'd like another one, ok no problem, I said again no thank you, a few more sips, yet another waiter asked me if I'd like another one, ok getting a bit irritating now, I said no thank you, food arrived. Food was very good, tasty and plentiful, after finishing food desert menus brought to table, fine no problem, menus laid down on table to confirm no desert required, waiter comes over and stands them up and again and asks if a desert is required, ok this is getting very pushy now and a little too much, said no thank you, paid check and left.

Visited here with family and we had a lovely meal Food was lovely and well spicedGood service and reasonable prices Will be visiting again

Just returned from this restaurant after Christmas lunch and couldn't be happier. The staff are excellent and very attentive, the atmosphere was really homely. The choice was Traditional or Indian, we had the Traditional, and it was as good as we could have wished. We were greeted with a free glass of wine, followed by soup or prawn cocktail followed by roast turkey, with mixed vegetables, Xmas pud with custard and ended with a floater coffee. How they do it for the price, I have no idea but I do know where I'm going next Christmas!

We have driven past this Indian Restaurant regularly and finally visited today for the first time! This place really puts No Mans Heath on the foodie map!!It's not massive but I see the place as cosy with a warm atmosphere. All of the staff that interacted with us were warm and friendly!The menu is typical in range and price.( not as pricey as you would think !)Even though the place was pretty much full we only had to wait 5 mins for a table and the food turned up shortly after we had finished our poppadums!Fab quality food too!We shall return and bring others with us to share the experience!!5*

Had a good Curry with the good company of friends and the supper was served up very well, the staff were great considering the late hour.I would recommend the "Four Counties" for any occasion and we will be back.

The staff are always fabulous and friendly! Me and my family visit four counties at least three times a month. Whether it's to eat in or to takeaway the food is always amazing. The best curry around !!

Visited Saturday evening to celebrate family birthdays. The food was excellent and the service was first class. We all very much enjoyed our evening and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. We will be visiting again. Thank you.

Called tonight for a takeaway as I do regularly, the food is always great and the staff meet you with a smile.I live 7 miles away and even when I get the food home it is still hot and fresh. On the odd occasion it's slightly longer than they said they are happy to have a chat with you and half a larger.

We went with friends and had a really good meal. The staff give an excellent service and the food is really really good.

i have eaten here many times and always had very good service with wonderful tasty food you can order food not on the menu

Another wonderful meal in pleasant surroundings. Attentive well trained staff. Can't recommend enough

Love this place we use it a lot especially for takeaways. I am on kidney dialysis and they cook everything in olive oil and no salt for me , so friendly , polite and accommodating. First class , consistently brilliant food.

Visited with the whole family and we had a great time. Exceptional mixed grill. Well worth the trip and highly recommended.

One of the best restaurants for Indian take away! Very accommodating will adapt orders as requested. Good recommendations if not sure what to have. Great friendly service always.

I visited four counties spice, last year just before bonfire night. A group of us we're out celebrating a late halloween get together. First off, I'll start with the good parts. Drinks = excellent, Service = Excellent, Staff = Polite & well presented.Only one big no no in my eyes here.... food = terrible!I had a chicken korma with chips as a side order. My chicken was tasteless, the sauce was cold. The rice came out wrong to my order and the chips..well, I may aswell have eaten a raw spud. I was very shocked as we picked this restaurant due to good reviews, but was seriously disappointed. I won't be back here, I'll stick to the ones in the town.

Came here on a busy Friday night but we had booked a reservation before so we were seated almost immediately. Ordered my usual at an Indian restaurant, a chicken korma which tasted amazing to say the least. Service was very good, will be returning!

Stopped by here after reading rave reviews and was not disappointed at all. My Chicken Tikka starter was heavenly following by a mouth watering Lamb Balti with amazing fresh Naan bread. Flavours were spot on. Will definitely return and bring more people with me.

I'm a regular here, they offer a friendly customer experience with great food & a pleasant atmosphere.The food is always spot on hence why I'm always returning; whether it be for a take away or dining in, the quality is always the same!For the quality of the food (& meat) the price is excellent, it's a restaurant that I visit with my family, friends or other half!

Picked the Four Counties by chance. Best decision. Cracking Curry, Naanand Rice. Good pints! Recommend the Lamb, Chicken and Prawn Curry on the menu. All in One!!

We live down the road in Tamworth and have been saying for years we should try it out. So we eventually visited tonight. We were a bit put off when we first went in as there was a funny smell (like a musty cellar smell). Everything after that was great though and the smell disappeared after a few lovely smelling meals came out of the kitchen. Good service. Loved the choices on the menu and the food was delicious. Best curry we've had in a while. The lamb was so tender. Will definitely visit again.

1st class service from our waiter, a fine selection to choose from, served hot, not too long to wait, the restaurant was once a pub, but they have made it their own.Would heartily reccomend to lovers of Indian food, not really just a curry house as they were once known, this is a like a fine dining restaurant, most impressive.

Have come to this restaurant a few times with family and have always found it to be a pleasurable experience. The service is amazing considering how busy the restaurant was on the Saturday we arrived. The food was exactly how i liked it, slightly spicy and piping hot. Will be returning soon!

I wrote a review in October last year and I have to say the standard is still very good, great flavoured food , great staff and a nice ambience, This is out of town and on the edge of a small hamlet , but people travel to it and I am not suprised,there is a very large car park too. I understand they can now accomodate private parties in a separate room. Hughtly recomended the size of the king prawns is amazing !

Fantastic Indian cuisine in a nice setting. Excellent service. You will not be disappointed! One of the best we have been to!

Was celebrating my anniversary as well as my friend recently getting married. Never been here before, but would definitely come again. Friendly polite staff, excellent food, reasonably priced, beautiful location.

Sat 18th June Great choice of food, Service very good nothing too much trouble & reasonable price. keep the good work up well worth a visit

Excellent food excellent staff highly recommend this place Foods fresh and always hot very clean place to . Definitely recommend it

We have been visiting here since it opened. Very convenient and opens very late, especially handy in its village location. Very friendly and welcoming even when you turn up late when everyone else has gone. Nice decor. Mixed kebab starter is really good. Main courses are nice although they could put a bit more spice in. Never found a cardamom pod or bit of cinnamon stick in anything I've had from here. The lamb dansak is good and so are the naan breads.

Beautiful curry, faultless rice and the best peshwari naan I've ever had.We had a take away, which attracts a 10% discount on sit down prices. Ordered via phone and given a set time to collect. Food was ready exactly when they said. Staff very professional and felt very welcome.Couldn't fault the food. Simply fantastic, and good portion sizes.No complaints from anyone in the family (a rarity!) We'll be back sooner rather than later!

This is a poplar Indian restaurant serving several villages at a location where 4 counties border meet....hence the name.The food served is nice but if im honest ....nothing special. Sometimes the food comes so heavily spiced that flavour is lost and renders the meal almost inedible.Price wise a meal for two adults with poppadum's and peshwari nann's and a beer ....comes in at around £35.00. However a word of warning....... don't have the chips. Every time we have ordered the chips there is a massive amount and they always taste like they have been cooked in really really cheap fat that is way past its use by date. In summary if you are local and not too fussy its ok. If you are a distance away or a connoisseur of Indian food then it will probably be a disappointment.
