Excellent food and great service. I got the chicken jalfrezi and it was nicely seasoned and a little spicy. The staff were very friendly. Thank you!

I was in Wantage overnight prior ot RIAT. I was looking forward to an Indian meal and disappointed to discover that my first choice Indian restaurant with excellent reviews had ceased trading! It was a very hot night at 32 degrees. There were very few diners in the restaurant at 6.30pm so I had no difficulty in getting a single table. There was no air conditioning but there were soem wall mounted fans. I was rather surprised to see one fan had no external guard and had someone a little taller than me inadvertenly walked into it, could have been injured. Given the chosie of sweltering or the coolish breeze from the fan, I decided to ignore the safety issue! My order ws taken promptly and the starter (Poppadums and chutney arrived very quickly. The restaruant serves a limited selection of alcohol and I had a bottle of Cobra beer. When the main course arrived I was very surprised at the small portions of rice and curry. The rice was very dry and the prawns in the curry overcooked and chewy. Nevertheless the curry had a nice flavour. I have certainly had better curries, and overall the meal was OK. The best part was the plain Naan which was very nice. The staff did check on me during the meal, but I had to get their attention in order to pay the bill which was presented with a wrapped chocloate mint that was totally melted. A little foresight might have been to keep the chocolate refrigerated prior to serving! I probably wouldn't go back,as there are certainly other Indian restaurants in the area with much more favourable reviews.

Always ask me about my wife & kids too, showing they really do care about customer service. Would highly recommend

Our first visit. We popped in for dinner and were made to feel very welcome. A lovely ambiance. Unfortunately my husband uses a hearing aid so he found the music very annoying. I enjoyed it. All drinks are non alcoholic which is not a problem for us. You can BYO but there is a corkage charge. The food was very tasty but I was very disappointed at the quantity. For the price, a chicken dish should have at least a breast of chicken (cubed) not just 6 small pieces. The beef had slightly more meat but as it was so thinly sliced it really didn’t amount to much at all. Would I go back - probably but now I know what to expect…

Whilst on time the delivery driver had the food on its side, it’s curry in containers that are loosely sealed. She was then very surprised it had poured out into the bag. Unfortunately despite showing what was meant to be my dinner swimming in the bag to the delivery driver and contacting the restaurant this was not remedied, no refund or replacement issued.

The receptionist was incredibly rude in every interaction. He seemed annoyed when we asked about the menu and was equally irritated when we inquired about splitting bills. His dismissive attitude when we needed assistance was off-putting. While the food was okay, I will never, ever return due to his behavior. Hopefully, there will be a change in his attitude towards customers in the future.

Awful meal! Ordered £65 of food and the meal was bland. No flavour in any of the dishes. Naan bread was clearly just reheated. Lamb dish ordered tasted like it was cooked in bisto with no spices. Complained to restaurant who offered us £15 off next meal. No thanks. Meal was hot and on time which was the only positive. New to the area so really disappointed with our first experience.

Last went here seven years ago, the food was so bad it has taken us this long to give it another try. Looked at reviews and it looked ok, no mention of bring your own alcohol though. The two of us were seated and the first thing I noticed was that there was a bring your own policy – I did have an idea this was the case as the table next to us were drinking beer from cans. No worries, off to Sainsburys for me to buy three bottles of Cobra, I asked for a corkscrew and the man who I took as the owner offered a cold bottle in return for one of my warm ones – odd! He came and took our order, I was first to be asked everything, my female partner did not seem to exist, on check back he was not worried about her meal, just mine. We had poppadom’s and pickles; you cannot go wrong here all the pickles were out of the same factory as just about every other Indian in the UK. I ordered a chicken dish stuffed with mince at £14.00 + (Oddly it is over £17.00 on their website) and my partner had a chicken dish at around £11.00. Both contained one breast of chicken cut up and a sauce. It must be remembered that this is over £14.00 and £11.00 for a desert-sized bowl of chicken pieces with sauce. I love curry, I cook it at home, but I must say we could not distinguish the difference between the two dishes, it was a heavy red sauce, mine may have had mince but I did not spot any. Now it got interesting, a couple were seated on the table next to us and ordered two bottles of Cobra, they were asked if they wanted alcoholic or non-alcoholic, they went for the alcohol so, I had wasted my time going to Sainsburys after seeing “Bring Your Own” plastered all over the menu! With our meal we had one naan bread, one potato dish and one pila rice. The bill was an astonishing £63.00, this is without any drinks, they even had the cheek to charge £5.00 corkage for the drinks that I had to go and source even though they sold them in the first place. This was a Friday evening from 7.00, only four tables were occupied, and the restaurant was cold. We all know that restaurants have been hit by fuel hikes and other overheads but maybe bring your prices down and sort the bring your own beer thing out? There are a least two other Indian restaurants in Wantage we may be back in seven years, but I would not hold your breath.

The food was okay but the portions were very stingy. The butter chicken had 6 pieces of chicken which is terrible for the price. It was mainly just sauce. I ordered a Tandoori Chicken (£6) and got 1 skinny drum stick with barely any chicken on it. The chicken was tasty but very dry with a bad rubbery texture. Definitely a lot of improvements needed before I order from here again.

Food is really nice, but it’s so overpriced. We paid over £50 for a meal that only included two curry’s, two rice and two sides. Most Indian takeaways would also give free popadoms with an order of that value, but we didn’t get any from this place. You only get them if you pay. Not sure we’ll be re-ordering, unfortunately.

We have had a takeaway from this restaurant a couple of times. The first time was just okay, albeit slightly cold due to slow delivery. We picked up our latest takeaway to make sure it was hot. However although it was reasonably hot (temperature) we all had chicken dishes and all four of our dishes had extremely dry and tough chicken in them. Also the sauces tasted surprisingly similar even though all four dishes were different sauces! Not very impressed with this place and will not be ordering from here again.

We moved to the area 18 months ago and this is the second time we have used this restaurant (both times a takeaway). Last time we came the staff were very welcoming friendly and helpful, and the food was great. Last night we went in to order our food and the chap on the desk was very unfriendly, sullen and very miserable, we felt a bit awkward his one syllable answers were very odd. I hope he is ok he seemed very depressed. The food was really tasty a bit expensive, but isn’t everything right now. We will definitely be ordering food again!

A warm welcome and lovely white tablecloths and ample white napkins set the style for this restaurant in the corner of the lovely wantage market place and the food lived up to it with delicious dishes both vegetarian and meat based. Sag bhaji the best i can recall. They were very upfront that menu prices now had to increase by 10% but they are still more than competitive. Highly recommended.

Very disappointed with the portions we paid £10.70 (chicken tikka ) for 6 pieces of chicken in a sea of sauce. £9 (lamb korma) for the same analogy of meat and sauce. £4.50 for two tiny pieces of Samosas. We thought we should give this restaurant a try but it is clearly not worth it. Stay away if you want to have decent portions for the amount of money you are paying.

Difficult to score. All the food tasted good. Unfortunately, in one of the dishes the lamb was a bit dried out and chewy. Yet on another dish the chicken was lovely and moist. The onion bhajis weren't greasy in the slightest but were not cooked properly in the middle. The same with the naans, great on the outside, doughy in the middle. Overall, I would try again as they showed potential. This review was for a takeaway on a Sunday around 6pm. The restaurant had a couple.of occupied tables.

We normally order from the house of spice regularly and they are the best in wantage, but for some reason this time was a massive shame.

As an Indian I never normally order an Indian takeaway, but I thought I would try it for New Years. I have to say I was very disappointed with the taste of the food. The aloo chaat and aloo gobi were basically the same dish (even though they are supposed to be separate dishes!) and tasteless, the butter chicken was extremely sweet and bland (which I’ve never experienced before), and I couldn’t taste and garlic on the naans. I will not recommend this food if you want genuine Indian food. On the flip side, their delivery service was pretty good as the food came earlier than expected, however the food itself was lukewarm.
