Himalayan Spice in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Been here a couple of times over the last few years…always while on holiday. Wednesday night is always going to be a bit quieter than the weekend but there seemed to be plenty of deliveries going out. My partner had the Salmon Bhuna with a spicy Tarka Daal and a Garlic Naan, I had Chicken Patia with a Sag Aloo and a Chapati. The standard of the food was first-class. Rich sauces, lovely spiced TD (madras hot) and perfect GN and SA. The restaurant are proud of their curry awards - and rightfully so…great food!

Nice food, we went for a few vegetarian side dishes to share with rice and naans. Good service, friendly atmosphere.

A family night out so enjoyed a mix of meals. Starters were outstanding and the choice of mains all satisfied. Would recommend to others to try this place. Images are the duck ticka starter and the Himalayan Special Curry 👍🏻

It was fantastic I have had a lot of curries in my time and this is by far the best it tasted great... I ask for a burnt naan all the time and this was the only place that did it, I recommend.

Sadly gone downhill. Used to have great food and service and both were absent on this visit. Tasteless mixed starter plate which is now devoid of meat followed by an under spiced curry. Sadly won’t be coming back again.

Had a curry delivered to a hotel as working here , after a recommendation from a local I ordered chicken Pathia, keema rice, keema naan and starters etc, starters and bread was spot on but the curry was absolutely awful, genuinely have been sh1tting through the eye of a needle since 3 am, if I had t of paid cash, I’d be after a refund , maybe a 1 off as reviews all look good but genuinely was not a nice curry and I’ve had plenty from elsewhere no way near as bad .

Very clean restaurant Toilets very clean Staff were polite and efficient but not particularly chatty. Reasonably good food at reasonable prices, worth a visit. No parking on site or in very close proximity to this venue

On arrival we waited 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us to show us to our table of 4. It then took another 10 minutes to be asked if we wanted drinks.15 minutes later our order was taken.45 minutes later the starters arrived after we had asked if we were going to get them! There were no other tables occupied at that time. At no point in the evening did the waitress or anyone else come to the table to ask if everything was ok. We had to ask for more cutlery for the main course and condiments. The food was ok. During the period we were there, takeaways were constantly being taken out. It is not good being pleased about winning an international award for food if your service is dreadful for those who are dining in. We won't be returning.

As a vegetarian it is hard to find good places to eat abroad but this smashed it out the park. We got the Thali and couldn’t have been happier with it as every dosh was delicious. They managed to make spinach taste nice!!

Had a takeaway meal from here and we couldn't have been happier Delivered to us within the time frame given Onion bhajis with accompanying poppadoms, relish and sauce were delicious Chicken Nepal curry with pilau rice, again delicious Our meal could not have been more tasty, full of flavours, the subtle mango flavour in the curry was moorish!

Where do I begin…..group of friends joined us for a takeaway from here. We opted for the meal for four (five of us). Absolutely beautiful food we all tried something that we usually wouldn’t order and soo glad we did! Was honestly up there with the best curries I’ve ever tried!! A1 top drawer from me!!!

I have just eaten in this indian restaurant. Service was prompt although there were only two other dinets apart from myself, so not exactly busy. Had onion bhaji and popadoms to to start and chicken saag with mushroom rice for main. What can I say, mint sauce for bahgi did'nt taste of mint. The bahgis were dry and only tasted of flourn no flavour at all. But were beautifully presented. Which was the same for the ckicken saag with spinach. Again, beautifully presented but no taste or flavour whatsoever. I did'nt eat one fifth of what I was served! The whole meal was totally bland. I was however offered an alternative meal by the very embarrassed waitress, but given what I had alrrady been served, I declined and paid £30. 00 for the experience. Never again, I would highly recommend finding an alternative if you want a decent meal. Very, very disappointed..

Travelling back to our hotel we were looking for somewhere to eat, I found this place on Tripadvisor, thanks so much! We were greeted warmly, informed that we'd need to pay cash, OK & given the most excellent selection of condiments we've ever had along with some poppadom's all on the house. The owner then greeted us, gave us some ideas on what to eat & supplied an excellent Nepalese beer. The curries were excellent, not hot but spicy & full of flavour, great rice & huge portions. You have to visit!

So shocked to see the 4.5 review on this restaurant. Such a bad experience, the take away which I took today was such a disgusting experience. I was wondering if they don’t know to make something why it’s on the Menu or if the experienced chef is not available, at least they could let the customer know. Literally I wasted my £50. No sauce was used in the Chowmein mixed with a lot of masala which I couldn’t even taste second time. Butter chicken and Tikka masala tastes like weeks old. Never been through such a disgusting experience, would really appreciate if u take off the term Indian Food when u don’t know what and how the Indian food is. Rethinking to hire a new chef will be great option if are still looking forwarding to continue your Business.

It was very disgusting food ever in my life and very bad experience. It was so shocking to see the reviews as 4.5 and all. It's really rubbish, and i have no words to say. The chicken was so old cooked past so many days back.

The food was absolutely delicious. X

Excellent place for food, friendly staff and good prices.

My friend and I were staying at the nearby premier inn and were recommended Himalayan Spice as somewhere to go for Dinner. OMG we were not disappointed this place was absolutely fantastic. The food was the best Indian/asian food that either of us had ever eaten. From the dips with our popadoms to our starters and mains everything was truely delicious. We are now planning to go back to Liskeard on holiday with our family’s just so we can go back here for a meal lol. Highly recommended you won’t be disappointed if you eat here!

The quality and flavours of the food are lovely, sadly there is an issue between the telephone and the kitchen. The last 3 orders had items missing, most recently 2 portions of rice were missing. So I phoned to see what would be done and I got a half hearted sorry. I asked 'AND?' and was told sorry again. You must be making a fortune charging people for take away items and not packing them. CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE LEAVING THIS RESTAURANT. Thanks for the reply but it is of course absolute rubbish - You claim the person was new but it happened three times and I didn't give you the dates when I picked up the food. So how do you know it was a new person? Was it also a new person in the kitchen every time not packing the entire order? Believe me, I won't be coming back. You have saved enough money by charging for food that wasn't cooked/packed.

Lovely New year eve meal, was all tasty,piping hot and good portions and reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient staff despite obviously being busy with takeaway as well as the restaurant. In all the years we have lived in Liskeard never been but would like to visit again.

Friendly and good quality food, great service

Delicious meal, fantastic delivery service and very friendly staff.

I had a chicken tikka biryani and it was amongst the best I've ever had, I also had a garlic naan bread bug that wasn't quite so good.

Absolutely delicious food, excellent quality.. eaten here a few times and taken out, never been disappointed. Great value for money,

Lovely meal, very well presented.

Fabulous food , spicy and tasty would highly recommend!

Excellent meal, beautifully prepared and presented. Local parking is a real challenge!

I looked at the reviews and wondered. Not sure why though, the food here is INSANELY DELICIOUS!!! I asked my server to bring whatever the chef fancied cooking. She came back with a plate that looked like curried vegetables but was in fact a stunning chicken dish that’s not on the menu. Can’t recommend it highly enough. That’s k you also to the lovely server who who gave really top service

Went here on 5th November for my sons birthday there was nine of us. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The whole experience was amazing. The food was hot and very yummy. Service with a smile. This place is very deserving of their award and I can’t believe it is in our small Cornish town. Well done all staff involved. Highly recommend.

Loved the food - everything was fresh, hot and tasted fantastic. Was at Hoburne Holiday Park and they delivered to us no problem. Arrived when they stated. Would definitely order from them again if we’re in the area.

Food was fantastic. Freshly cooked (so be prepared to wait) and of a high standard.

Consistently superb food everytime 👌 take away or eat in Garlic chilli is my favourite perfect amount of heat

Friendly staff Really tasty and fresh dishes. 100% recommend Definitely come back

Amazing food, lovely attentive staff well priced. We are on holiday in Liskeard. Worth coming just to come to Himalayan Spice. Highly recommended

A recommendation brought us here. A restaurant in a narrow street, hindered by traffic lights and a dearth of parking facilities. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and efficient. We were not disappointed in any department. It was a busy Friday night and the crème de Liskeard was on display. In the kitchen, some magic produced was happening. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great find in Liskeasrd, all dishes ordered were absolutely lovely, great flavour, piping hot and a great variety. As vegetarians there was plenty of options and the vegetable curries came packed full of lots of different veg. Highly recommended and worth a visit.

Great food all round but the service was a bit slow

One of the best Asian restaurants I've been to - and, surprisingly, the Peshwari naan is with out doubt the best I've ever had. The sheek kebab and chicken bhote were also excellent.

Food was excellent and the service it was a tad noisey but the food made up for it stunning

The food I ordered to take away was amazing. Each dish was cooked perfectly and the balance of spices and flavours worked brilliantly. The Nepal lamb was especially good. The lamb was cooked so that it was tender and the sauce was balanced nicely with the coconut and mango but not over-sweet which was ideal. Excellent all round. I look forward to coming again soon, but this time to dine in!

Our only meal out on a week away and it was worth it. If they were allowed, I think my children would have licked their plates clean. We shared three starters and four mains. All were delicious. The sauces and chutneys with the pappadums were the best I've ever tasted. Certainly not a cheap place to eat, but worth the expenditure. And it was busy on a Monday night, so recommend booking in advance

I asked if the food was halal and the server hung up on me

Visited whilst staying on a short break. Party of 4 booked via email-quick to respond for a request to book a table within a couple of hours. Popular restaurant. Gorgeous food. One of best I’ve had & I’ve had a lot all around the country & abroad! Garlic Nan bread thin, crispy & not overpowering . Lots of chicken in my main. Great flavours! Husband tried a special-I had a taste -yummy! Very clean tables & cutlery. Service was exceptional too!

Quite honestly the best Nepalese/Indian food I have ever eaten. Maybe not the most authentic (I worked in northern India and Nepal on and off for a few years) as the menu is a bit BIR but in terms of fantastic tasting food, I honestly...

Lovely food. Would definitely go there again for take out

This little restaurant is one of the best I have been to , the staff were very friendly without overwhelming you the menu is extensive and the food is really lovely we both cleared our plates and we don't normally do that. You have to...

We have just left this lovely restaurant the staff were very friendly, the food was exceptional and the service was excellent. Considering that the phone never stopped ringing the staff were very attentive without overwhelming us. There was a nice gap between starters and the main course arriving which suited us perfectly all in all a very nice restaurant.

great prices, really fast delivery, the food was divine and so flavourful

Had a lovely time, the staff were very polite and helpful. The food was delicious and very tasty. We didn’t have to wait long and any extra requests for drinks were quickly addressed. Everyone enjoyed their meal and would definitely recommend a visit. Thankyou

Unsure of the look of the place from the front as very hidden behind blinds. We got a table even though we hadn't booked as it was a spur of the moment thing. However, friendly attentive staff who changed my order from mild to medium without fuss. We also kept the chutneys throughout the meal as the tomato one was divine. Just super.

Delicious, authentic, friendly and fun.. straight out of the sea in our dry robes and we grabbed a table last minute. Loved it.

What a lovely little restaurant. Nice and bright inside, friendly staff, comprehensive menu…….and you can certainly see how they have won awards, as the food was gorgeous. Will certainly be back on our next visit to Cornwall. Thank you for a really lovely evening.

Quite good start friendly staff brought out popadoms only that was it after 1 hour 20 mins we walked out having not had any of the rest of our meal. Very disappointing. Also don’t like the fact that a gang of people were allowed to...

This was our third visit and once again we were not disappointed! Friendly service and delucious food, so good in fact we ordered a takeaway to freeze and eat later (unfortunately we didn't get our 2 starters but were promised them later). Highly recommend and...

Thanks for a really delicious takeaway, very tasty. Great service on the telephone too when taking my order.

Excellent taste and service. All dishes tasted fresh and just the right ingredients as per the description. Definitely recommended.

Always great food and top service

Delicious takeaway and reasonably priced.

The takeaway was very cheap, the order was correct, the restaurant looked clean inside and two free popadoms were given. Unfortunately the food was very bland and the sauce seemed like tinned tomato soup with lots of sugar and was nothing like a curry. No...

Great food, great service, all very fresh and big portions. We were on holiday and just found through Google, would 100% return and recommend.

Picked up a takeaway on way home. Lovely Nepalese curry house, couldn't fault it. 😋

Absolutely amazing, went for dinner after work with my girlfriend and had an amazing time, been loads of times and every time the food and friendliness of the people and environment is spot on, would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone

Buyer beware - tried ordering food for delivery enough food for one person, a starter, a main and a side. Their website clearly states min order for delivery £10 - my meal would have come to £19.50 - the lady taking the order tried to...

It is easy to see why The Himalayan Spice has won several prestigious awards. Our first venture thrilled us with stunning dishes. My onion bhajis were crispy with a glowing aftertaste of what may have been fennel and nigella seeds. Simply divine. My partner's eyes...

Always have Indian delivery from here, good service, good prices and the best Indian food, fresh and tasty

Food delivered earlier than expected and the curries were outstanding, best we've had in a long time! Shame they don't deliver to Oxfordshire 😄

Just ordered two chicken Korma but just normally have the sauce with rice. After eating some of this it made me feel sick, so so sweet couldn’t taste anything else. Most went into the bin what a waste of money. This is my first takeaway in months and it was awful.

Friendly staff right from when we arrived. Contrary to what it says, I was with my elderly parents who enjoyed the food immensely. The starters and mains were piping hot and we didn’t have to wait very long at all. I’d say the only downside...

did not go their? The most fabulous take away, and eat in restaurateur in the whole of the UK??? how much more can i write, having travelled the world, and lived there. Top awards for the best food from the best people.

Such amazing food! We both really enjoyed our two meals off the specials menu and this one one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve been to. Very highly recommend!!

Absolutely delicious and amazing

Great welcome, excellent service and even better food. Top class. I wish they'd open a restaurant in our town.

All dishes were delicious. They know how to cook prawns without overcooking them. My husband loves spicy food and was very happy.

This is not only an amazing Takeaway restaurant, but we have just had one of the best meals in a long while. Absolutely awesome food and such a relaxing, cute, warm welcoming restaurant. Will definitely be going again.

Best Indian takeaway I've found, and I've lived in 3 different large cities! Good delivery service, really recommend.

Amazing food and great service!

Garlic Chilli Chicken and Mushroom Rice = Amazing. I thought so anyway! Delicious!!!

Amazing meal to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. The food was amazing and fantastic service, even for a group of 22! Thank you

We decided to try the Malaysian spice on Saturday 4th after the Rugby Wales of course haha & was not disappointed, Top class food, great flavours, succulent lamb & tender chicken chunks & when I say plenty I mean it absolutely delicious & would recommend to anyone who loves a really good Curry & Rice & chapati From Cardiff, South Wales, M Gillard Living Cornwall & I’ll be back One Love from the Welsh Thanks especially to the delivery driver Top Man Boom

From entering the restaurant the service was very slapdash. After saying we had a table booked for 3, no name was taken and we were just pointed to a table. The waitress who took our orders had poor product knowledge. From a choice of two...

Delivered was 30 minutes late. No apology at all. Vegetable samosas was certainly vegetable but just potato. Nothing else at all. Very oily as well. I didn’t realise they only had potatoes!!! The tiger king prawn dish had 3 tiger king prawns. So technically it...

Food was outstanding! The service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious. Worth sitting in and enjoying the full experience. Dal and saag paneer extra tasty. Thank you. We'll be back.

truly horrible and nasty manager runs this place. rude , hateful ! they treated us horribly DO NOT ruin your day having a meal there in this place. you have been warned

truly horrible and nasty manager runs this place. rude , hateful ! they treated us horribly DO NOT ruin your day having a meal there in this place. you have been warned

Lady on the phone was very rude, morning that I was paying on card. Good way of them avoid paying taxes if they take cash. Food in general Is normally good but last time we had it we had to complain. Wait time was said...

Delicious food as always. Service great from front desk with Rabina to the excellent chef! Keep up the great food. Delicious Rajhastani lamb and coconut rice, and also chicken sekuwa with special fried rice.

Lovely takeaway. Visited on January to pick up a takeaway. When we arrived the restaurant was busy in January. Staff very good. Our meal was delayed by 20 mins so was offered a free drink and they apologised. The takeaway was excellent, 8 different curries...

The service was good, polite etc. The food was extremely bland, nothing reminiscent of curry in the Chefs special Himalayan curry I ordered. Luckily my partner found a chilli in her fish dish that I cut up to spice mine up a fraction. 2 popadoms...

We recently moved to Liskeard and found this fabulous eatery. Visited New Year’s Day for my wife’s birthday and were blown away with the friendly service and extensive menu. The food was served quickly and was well presented but above all it was fantastic, every...

Takeaway delivered to your door. Excellent food. Excellent service. When we moved to St Cleer we ordered from The Himalayan Spice with the intension of trying all the Indian restaurants in the area. Nine months later we have only ever ordered from The Himalayan Spice....

Ordered a delivery at 6:30pm to be delivered at 8pm, it is currently 8:40pm and the food has still not arrived yet. Terrible service, never ordering again.

This was the best Indian food I. Have ever had - the presentation, the service and the food. We will defiantly be returning

Delicious food, a nice change, a very different menu. Well worth a visit. Good service too.

I ordered a takeaway which consisted of a prawn chow mein and a chicken balti. the chow mein was awful, an unappetising mess of dark brown noodles and barely discernable prawns which resembled flat pale,crescent shaped rubbery pieces which were tasteless.the noodles.were.congealed and the whole.thing...

Very disappointed with both curries. Previously had a delicious Railway Curry, this time was tasteless and nothing like before. The vegetable pathia didn’t have hardly any spice flavour, like others on here have complained about, I left half of it. Also, it looked like watery...

Really good service , amazing dish, best curry ever eaten - authentically, nicely spiced dishes

Ordered in the website, was told delivery at 8.09 didn’t arrive until 8.40 with the rice missing. Called up told rice would be sent straight out (it’s been 30 mins so far and still no rice) so curry with no rice or it will be cold Was nice but was way below their normal standard which is a shame Hopefully it’s just a bad night but will be thinking twice before ordering again

Fantastic food and service! Highly recommended.

Good food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere! The food was amazing (as always) and the music was nice
