House of Spice in Aylesbury Vale

Good food Very quiet in the restaurant Staff were quiet Not much of an atmosphere but it was a Sunday evening when we visited

Ordered a take away from here. Hour and a half later still hadn't arrived. Then got a phonecall from some random bloke saying he had been given my food and I was probably getting his order. 10mins later delivery driver turned up with the other bloke's order. He then tried to blame the weather on our delivery being late even though I pointed out that how did that make him deliver to the wrong address. No apologies, just shrugged and tyre spun away at speed. We didn't get our food If this is their idea of customer service then will never order from there again or eat in the restaurant

Had a takeaway last night. Food was cold and bland. Ended up eating cheese on toast after forking out over £60. Ordered through just eat.

Food actually nice although had to drain fat off lamb madras ! Overcharged nearly £13 for a £34 take away !!! Having paid by card - said they'd take the overcharged amount off the next bill !!!! Had to return to get receive refund in cash !!!!!! DO CHECK YOUR RECEIPT........

Wasn’t best ever I’m afraid, we have had a much better dining experience here before. The food was bland, no spice in the madras and I feel we were almost keeping them up at 21:30, the lights were turned off in the other parts of the restaurant whilst we were still dining.

One of the only places that deliver near me. So sometimes it's a necessary evil. But trust me, this place is junk. Literally fed most of my food to my dog tonight. £8.50 for a tikka starter with only one piece of lamb, two pieces of chicken, one tiny onion bargee and half a shish kebab. The chicken tikka masala was good, the chicken madras was nasty..... Just a few pieces of chicken swimming in water which look like something my dog would produce after a bad stomach. Even the mint sauce. You couldn't even be bothered to fill the pot. Not that we should expect it, but no papadums however, I did spend £90 tonight. You guys just do not care about quality or your customers, also, I know of another family local who had a terrible experience in your restaurant recently, they sadly don't have access to any review sites so they asked me to mention this. You guys are ripping your local community off and it is not okay

Ordered take away. Wasn’t impressed at all with anything that came. Overly runny sauces that just didn’t taste quiet right. Dry onion barges. A lot of money for a low standard of food

This feedback is based on just one two-course take-away but it is worth noting that the menu I picked up on the bar says "under new management". Having lived in a northern town I am curry-critical and this establishment has never impressed. Usually asking for something "hotter" helps, so I ordered lamb biryani with a hotter madras style vegetable curry. The whole thing was bland. There were maybe five pieces of indifferent meat little more than bite sized. The curry was disgusting. A few pieces of boiled potato and a lot of thin, very oily brown liquid. I dare nor describe what it looked like. Oh. and the menu says "discount on cash collection". I didn't get.

I felt cheated this evening. The food we had was okay, tasty, and the portion size was good. However, when it came to the bill, we all felt cheated. Firstly, a poppadom cost £1.20 each, which is absolutely extortionate, and also different to the price on the menu which was 95p. All 8 poppadoms cost more than my curry at £12.60. Secondly, we were charged more for a pint than it was on the menu. The waiter told us that they were old menus however they were on every table in the restaurant. Our experience was disappointing, I felt cheated by the price and the way it was dealt with. The waiters weren’t very interested in helping us either. Unfortunately this wasn’t a great experience as the food was decent, but we were let down by the service and the price.

After a long day out we ordered online and walked round to collect 15 minutes later. All the dishes we had were delicious. The restaurant looked nice and the staff dressed very smartly. Will be back to try dining in another day.

Food took over a 1hr 30mins to arrive. When it arrived it was cold. Called the restaurant and had a guy who was just rude!!!

Amazing food and incredible service - even for my delivery order! Was super easy to order and even when I forgot part of my order they were very accommodating and went out of their way to assist me. Driver is a legend! Cannot fault the food. I got the makani and a few sides and it was unreal! 10/10 would recommend

Eat here regularly, both take away and in. An absolutely excellent curry and the best in the area in my opinion. Lovely people with lovely food.

Haven’t been to this place for a couple of years, we went with some friends on a Saturday evening. Pickles and popadoms were the highlight of a thoroughly tasteless meal, which was delivered very slowly by a waiting staff , not one of whom had masks on. Can’t recommend, will never return.

Sadly disappointed. This curry was no where near as good as previous meals. Onion Bhaji was cooked in oil that had obviously seen better days. Chana Dhal thin and had a sour taste. Won’t be going again.

In these difficult times it's important to support local businesses, we've always been happy to get takeaways or eat in either here or at the sister restaurant in Thame. The last 2 or 3 takeaways we've ordered from here have arrived barely warm. Sadly the most recent was almost inedible, my main tasted of tomato, chili and garlic as though the main spices and herbs had been missed. The sauce was thin, under-reduced and with no texture. The Lamb Bhuna that arrived looked great but tasted awful and the Peshwari naan was poor also. The other items were ok but no more than that. We threw about 70% of the food away. This is such a pity as the restaurant has been a favourite of ours since the days when it was part of the Prince of India group.

Formally myself and my other half would of rated 11/10, however in recents months we would have no reason to rate 1/10. 3 of our previous orders and 1 other order at a family celebration have been incorrect. One of these orders we had to wait over an hour to collect on arrival. We’ve also found the quality of food has plummeted, pots half empty, such a lack of sauce that the curry is dry, no longer garnished or seasoned properly - it’s like the chefs given up. We used to LOVE eating from this restaurant and did so regularly, however today’s visit will unfortunately be our last one, due to the extremely poor service and unreliability.

My wife and I moved into Haddenham 20 months ago and have found no reason to travel further from our doorstep for our fix of top notch Indian food. We don’t recognise the odd COVID warnings as we have encountered only the highest standards since this damnable virus kicked off. We have no intention of going anywhere else!

I wish I could review the food. I ordered and was told an hour for delivery. I was prepared to wait so accepted. 2 hours later and 3 phone calls still no food. Was told it’s on its waythree times. Only when I spoke to the manager did I find they’d made a mistake on the order and had to re do it. I don’t know what to believe. The manager has said she will refund the cash through my letter box. We’ll see

Fantastic food, friendly staff, great service. All staff wearing masks and felt very secure!! Thank you for another great evening

First time in the House of Spice tonight and really shocked to see that not one of the front of house was wearing a face mask. Asked why and was told that they were waiting for a delivery!! Pointed out they were breaking the law and walked out!. Never again.

Little to say about our visit except there is little care regarding covid 19. No staff were wearing face coverings and they said they didn't have any, so hey, who cares!! Obviously they don't, we do, so we left!!

This has been our go to restaurant for 14 years. Consistently great food and we have friends who travel fifty miles to join us for meals there as the food is so good (obviously we haven't been meeting there during lock down). The onion bhajis are a particular highlight and the handi laseez dishes. I would definitely recomment this restaurant to anyone who likes curry.

A very fine curry!!! I walk past this place twice a day (and have been two or three times in the past) and have to say when I peered through the window the other night and only saw Elvis himself performing (!!) I thought it was time to take a trip back.Sadly no elvis during my visit, but the food was absolutely delicious. In typical English fashion we ordered too much which the staff were more than happy to give us the leftovers in heat up bags. Lovely staff, amazing food. We will be back!

Went for a birthday night out. Food was very fresh and tasty. Service friendly and attentive. Thank you!

Visited tonight at 6.30pmPlenty of parkingVery well presented restaurantExtremely clean and light Polite and well turned out staff & very attentiveFood was excellent especially the Bombay potatoes best I've tastedHighly recommend this establishment I can honestly say 1 of if not the best Indian meal I have tasted

Weather was under the influence of storm Dennis, but inside the House of Spice there was a calm, warm atmosphere. Despite the weather it was quite busy, but the service was very good, as was the food. A very pleasant evening, to be repeated soon.

Great restaurant 5 minute walk away and our monthly (payday) treat. Wine is great also. In the 15 years we have lived in Haddenham and have used this restaurant have never been disappointed

Superb service and the food is fantastic! All because the restaurant is under new guidance & management from the fantastic Nelema we finally have our faith restored in not only the restaurant but takeaway/delivery service. We went to Haddenham House of Spice in October for a meal and the food was great, we have been back for a collection on a takeaway on a couple of occasions and the service as well as the food has been the best ever. Nelema‘s personal service goes above and beyond... I ordered a delivery not long ago and imagine my surprise when she personally delivered our order! We live in Thame but Haddenham House of Spice is by far superior and is our 1st choice!

had a wonderfull night of music and food, the food was hot and plentyfull many dishes i have not had before . i hope this dishes are on the main menu , i couldnt see the in the takeaway menu/ there was a lovely familly feel . thanks for a good night even if monday felt a bit odd.

As others have said, great food and service after new management came in. You won’t get better travelling much further a field.

Haven’t been for a while and we were really impressed with the service and quality of food. It is clear that the new owners take pride in their new restaurant. The staff are extremely attentive and gave good recommendations. We will definitely come again!

Fabulous meal out in House of Spice! Service 100% and food brilliant! Staff couldn’t be more attentive without being over-bearing was brilliant.

We had a lovely experience here. The staff were polite and Vince looked after us beautifully. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. Worth it!

There were four of us at 5pm on a Friday evening so it wasn't busy. We had a lovely big round table and were very well looked after. We were in a bit of a hurry and the service was efficient and friendly. The chicken korma, prawn boona and prawn biryani were excellent and they happily gave us the left overs in a takeaway container. We will return!

We were in the area for a few days and decided to give this curry house a go. Now, we all know how much we all love our own local curry houses and everyone (including us) are always so sceptical to try another. However, we were the only sit down customers, but that did not deter us and the staff were happy too!

The food was ok, the service was ok. But there was no atmosphere and it was overpriced.

Two of us had an unplanned evening out at the House of Spice. The restaurant was very quiet on a Thursday night, with only two other people eating at 9pm.

Have been meaning to try here for ages, had read recent reviews but decided to give it a try, really pleased. Our recent Friday night meal was of fine quality, generous quantities and excellent, friendly customer service experience. We had the Special Chicken and Prawn Bhuna main courses, with beer and coffee afterwards. Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable, thank you.

After visiting this restaurant over the last 20 years the standard of food has gone down on this and last visit. Today cutlery went back dirty duck hasch basch went back inedible rest of meal ok. To add insult they then hoovered around us at 22.15 before we were ready to leave, we got the hint! Not acceptable in a restaurant of this expected standard. Overpriced for the food. Will not be returning. Such a shame for this decline in our village.

Sadly after an enjoyable meal a bad taste was left when we were told they had forgotten to include the drinks in the bill we had just paid. Standing over us, card machine in hand, the waiter said he wanted another £36. Surely a better approach would have been to say "sorry guys we made a mistake, how about we come to an arrangement" or something like that? Instead he just kept insisting he wanted another £36. Finally my friend suggested if we paid would they give us a round on the house, and this was agreed. Our "free" round consisted of 3 halves of lager. We had been drinking pints, as they well knew. As for a tip... well how about getting the bill right to start with, or being less aggressive when you realise you've made a mistake and it's wrong?

Excellent service, good food well presented. Very good for a village restaurant. Sometimes lacks atmosphere as a large space and can be quiet in the week. Toilets could benefit from redecoration.

Been using this our local restaurant and takeaway ever since it opened. The service and portion size has deteriorated significantly over the last year so much that we have stopped using this restaurant at all. On our last visit they had increased the bill for our usual weekly takeaway order by over £5 in one week, over £2 being on one dish. And at the same time the amount of meat in chicken and meat dishes has been reduced so it is predominantly sauce. Tonight we had a supermarket takeaway for our Friday night treat. It cost less than a third of the price that this establishment charges including extra bhajis and a selection of chutneys.

Not a very enjoyable experience at this restaurant. Food was very average and not as warm as it should have been. Staff were attentive but only in their rush to get you out the door to free up the table. Won’t be returning.

Food was mediocre at best. Served luke warm and with hardly any flavour. Embarrassing as friends were visiting village and had travelled a fair distance. Then we were told to leave after 90 mins as table was needed and we were only drinking water!!

Waited over an hour in the restaurant for takeaway meal for two. Menu had been changed that day. Prices ridiculous, food poor and menial. Given onion bajis instead of rice..awful and cost £35. Won’t be bothering again.

The food here has improved greatly and the dishes we had were excellent. The staff in the main are also improved. However, no one asked how our food was, which was a shame as we could have paid a compliment. We will for sure visit again.

Had a great experience tonight as expected. Always great food with a really warm and respectful service. Highly recommended!

I am pleased to say this place has much improved since our last visit over two years ago. The service is much friendlier (not off-hand as last time) and the meal was good and as described on the menu. We will return, soon-ish, and take stock again. If it's still improved we'll make it a regular occasion. But this is a lesson in how long it takes to restore a lost reputation.

Thoroughly pleasant, polite and attentive staff in surroundings of enchanting ambience.

We have used this restaurant for takeaways (and occasionally sit down meals) ever since it opened. However in the last few months the service has deteriorated dramatically. A few weeks ago my husband arrived to collect our takeaway at the allotted time and it was still not ready after a further hour of waiting. Tonight, as the restaurant was busy we agreed to return after an hour and forty minutes but having paid there was still another ten minute delay. On arrival home it was virtually cold so the microwave is going now! It’s such a shame they can’t get their act together as the food is generally great.

I can only comment on the one takeaway meal we got here when we were on holiday... Not the cheapest but everything was delicious and the helpings were generous. I would most definitely go there again.

Was a lovely meal, and good to see some Farsee on the menu as well. Great service as always in these restaurants.

Lovely building, really nice food. Nice staff. The lamb Rogan Josh was particularly good. Will come again!

Came here on a girly night out. Quiet, only a couple more people in but we were early. Food was delicious, particularly the vegetarian dishes and staff were super friendly and attentive. Can highly recommend this place.

Went for dinner here for a family birthday, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent service and food! Will be going back soon!

Despite living locally we had not been to the house of Spice for quite a long time. We have clearly been missing out as we found the both the food and service was excellent. Good range of vegetarian food . I particularly enjoyed the Sabji Noorjahani.

I The food is here absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting and the customer service is outstanding, with all the staff being very helpful and informative. Vince, in particular, is a complete star!!

Great staff - Vince looked after us so well and we will be back for my mums 90th - delicious food and a smooth operation - well done!

Had a lovely meal this evening. All very good. My only criticism would be that the onion bhaji were a bit dry.

Average 70’s Indian food with inedible stale breads on my visit and I did not enjoy the rest of the outmoded food here.

Had a takeaway for the 1st time from here, hearing mixed reviews had put us off for so long. Having had an Indian meal with friends for a birthday function at another venue, we decided to give this the benefit of the doubt. The food we got was ok. Not bad, not amazing. Just ok to be honest. Maybe because Takeaway is different from sit in as food doesnt always travel well so it could be that. Only thing is, they couldve given the salad in a more appropriate takeaway container? It was in a packet?? Like someone dumped all the ingredients in a bag and shook it. Will have a break from this Indian im afraid.

Amazing food had meat thalia great fresh nan curry was well cooked all great service good drinks bit expensive but great curry house very wecoming

Had a meal here last week with friends. Food was good, ambience is good in this restaurant too - but the service needs reviewing. We had hardly finished our main course when the bill was put on the table, we were not asked if we wanted a dessert or coffee or another drink! It was not late ( I think just after 9) however there were no other people in the restaurant ( only 3 or 4 in the whole evening) when the bill arrived, so maybe the staff wanted to go home early. What a strange way of dealing with people-I went to this restaurant over a year ago with colleagues and virtually the same thing happened , the waiter asked if he could call our taxi when we had only finished our main course! I did not go back until last week. When there are fantastic Bengali restaurants close by with outstanding service - why would you part with your hard earned cash at this restaurant?

Living nearby in Thame we often either eat in or take away from this restraunt.

We were craving Indian food as we were visiting from Dubai and love Asian cuisine. Having experienced traditional authentic Indian food over the past decade we were pleasantly surprised to discover this hidden gem. The food is delicious with generous portions (comfortable level of spice), the atmosphere is relaxing (lovely decor) and the staff are friendly. Food is served reasonably quick and presented well. We’ve already been twice and intend to go back once more during our weeks stay. Be sure to explore Haddenham after your meal as it’s a beautifully quaint village. Overall a highly recommended dining experience.

From start to finish the attitude of the staff was poor.clearly they did not want to be there.

We had another great meal in House of Spice Haddenham. Charmingly served by our favourite waiter Shahed. Good food and lovely clean facilities. See you again on Thursday 😊

Food is very good, always full of flavour and very tasty! I’ve ordered from here many times and it has always been delicious , staff are very friendly and whenever I go inside I am in awe at the amazing decor .. such a calming lovely atmosphere! Would defo recommend .. only down fall is that the delivery service takes about an hour on average ! I know that’s quite normal these days but that’s my only critique!

Numan and the House of Spice team catered for 60 guests at our Marquee. We had our own dedicated waiter Sahib who ran the evening professionally and smoothly. The food was plentiful and delicious. We cannot praise this service more highly and will use the restaurant always in the future.

We very much enjoyed our dinner at the House of Spice. The food was very nice and the staff were happy to make changes to meet our dietary requirements.

Excellent meal as always, friendly staff. Nice clean restaurant. Very good service, well done all xxx

Perfectly good, above average meal with friends. Dishes all fine. Service attentive - maybe a little pushy, desperate on up-selling and slightly lacking in charm. Atmosphere in restaurant very muted. Only five tables taken at peak evening service in a large restaurant. Also, felt a bit expensive for what we had.

We visited on a Sunday evening with seven people. The restaurant was empty except for our gropp. The menu was very misleading as the specials and buffet were not available even was on the printed nume.

We eat with House of spice a few times a year as it's our local Indian. We gave ourselves a break over summer and ordered a take out for a change tonight. Although I usually order a meat dish, I tried the Vegetable Thali. My husband had a biriyani. The dishes were incredibly flavoursome, probably the best takeaway we've ever had there. I felt compelled to call back and let them know how much we enjoyed our meal. The team are always very friendly and welcomingj and I'd encourage anyone that hasn't been there in a while to pay another visit. If I had to suggest any improvements, it would be to add a label to each tub so we know what dish belongs to who. All the best x

Pathia and Pasanda were not 'Pathia' and 'Pasanda'. Vindaloo was just chilli and tomato - no spices... Surely not affiliated...

Went to the restaurant on a Sunday with wife and mother in law who had never eaten Indian food. We...

I fancied a nice bank holiday weekend meal and ventured out to The House of Spice in Haddenham.

I hsbe been here several times for both eat in and take away meals. The restaursnt is pleasant and comfortable. The building was a Pub so is well proportioned. The mrnu is quite extensive and has got some unusual dishes. The food is good avd uses fresh ingredients. If they are busy however service can be slow so be prepared to wait.

Yesterday (Sunday) my husband and I had been in the village looking at houses for sale and acquainting ourselves with various local businesses to see how we liked the overall feel of the village.We ate at House Of Spice for dinner, arriving there a little after 6.30pm. There was a man waiting for his takeaway who said that he used this place every week - good start.We chose a sit-in over a takeaway and were seated next to the window so we had a wonderful view of the village. We ordered poppadoms and water (They serve Voss - they'd won me over with that alone!) before looking through the menu. Now, my husband and I eat this cuisine on average 4-5 times a week, between home-made meals and takeaway/restaurant visits. Since becoming pregnant though my palate has changed (and appetite, I'm somehow less hungry) and so I looked through the side dishes and chose bombay aloo. Thankfully this had a nice amount of heat, just a tang but not at all overwhelming. My husband enquired as to whether they could make him a vegetable madras and the waiter responded with of course. My husband has recently cut meat and fish products from his diet and said that this is truly the first restaurant vegetable curry that he's enjoyed since going vegetarian (I've been meat and fish free since 1996). I had a small amount and it was one of the nicest madras' I've ever had!!We also had a portion of lemon rice and a garlic naan with no butter to share. The portions are generous and more than enough for two if you're sharing rice and naan. The naan was sooooooooo deliciously fluffy. Upon setting sight of it I had wondered whether I could eat it all to myself but generously shared some with my husband.The prices were fair for the location and quality of food - although we did balk slightly at £4.50 for lemon rice, a bit steep outside of London but this did contain actual slices of real lemons so obviously that's what you're paying for.The waiting staff were friendly and helpful, the waiter who brought the food out was different to the waiter we'd ordered from and he double-checked that we'd ordered one main and one side rather than an additional main to which we said yes. He and the original waited asked us during the meal whether everything is okay and did we need additional drinks.The only very minor 'thing' was that we did have to wait about ten minutes from asking for the bill. I understand that they had a few more tables fill up and there was a steady stream of people arriving to pick up takeaways throughout our meal but recently I've become like a bear - once I've eaten I require a lie-down and a nap. It certainly wasn't a major issue, just a very minor gripe.We were the only guests eating in when we arrived but were happy to see that about five tables throughout the restaurant were eating when we were leaving, which seems positive for early evening on a Sunday in a village.We can thoroughly recommend House Of Spice.

My friends and I - all experienced Indian restaurant visitors - recently went to the House of Spice Haddenham to eat in. There were several other groups of people there. The service and food were all excellent - we thought the food was better and more interesting here than some others we have been to.We had an altogether enjoyable evening.

I'm not sure if there are two House of Spice restaurants as the one we went to is in the centre of the village, not on the Thame Road as on the map. However, we went for the Sunday evening 'meal deal' and were pleasantly surprised. The food was good, service pleasant and the restaurant nicely decorated.

Just moved to Haddenham and decided to wander down to House of Spice for dinner. Really pleasant surprise inside - nice decor and prompt service. Food was lovely and we were left to enjoy our evening. We will be going back very soon.

Hadn't been for a while as wasn't as good as good as it used to be but popped in on a Friday night to find they are well and truly back on form. Service good, food excellent. Nice atmosphere. Lovely to see it back to its busy old self!

We arrived late in service but the staff made sure there was plenty of food for us at the Sunday lunch buffet. Delicious food and excellent service.

We go here regularly on Sunday lunchtimes with friends and the food is always buffet 'eat as much as you like' style. We have never had a bad meal there, always hot, tasty and not too spicy or my wife wouldn't eat it. The staff are cheerful and helpful. Very reasonably priced. Excellent value.

We more usually have a take-away from this restaurant however this time we decided to eat-in and we were very pleased with a lovely evening.The restaurant is situated centrally in the village of Haddenham with a small car park at the rear and various places to park nearby, even a large car park just 2-3 minutes walk away outside a parade of shops, which is my recommendation.The building is very old and used to be a pub!We had onion bahjies which were crisp on the outside and mildly spiced, served with a small but fresh looking salad. Very tasty!My wife ordered chicked dopiaza, which tasted amazing. The chicken pieces were tender.I ordered lamb noorjhan with an amazing spice and flavour only let down by some chewy pieces of lamb. I cut the pieces quite small so this was ok, but i have had better versions of this dish in this restaurant.We additionally had pilau rice and a plain nan which was very good, a very light fluffy inside and slightly crispy bottom and sides.

Hussain and Russel was fantastic. Gave fantastic service with fantastic food. Great food by chef and great service. Recommend eating here.

Brought my parents here on a busy Saturday evening and the food was fantastic. Having had several consistent takeaway orders we thought we'd go for the dining experience and we were equally chuffed. Great to have such a good Indian in the village. Thanks Hussein and staff.

Am always getting a takeaway from the House of Spice when visiting friends in Haddenham.Food is lovely and very reasonably priced. Staff are pleasant too

We had a takeaway from Haddenham House of Spice as Thame was not answering their telephone. This has to be the worst takeaway we have ever had. We ordered Chicken Madras and Chicken Jalfrezi, and had no idea which was which, both dishes consisted of just sauce, no onions, chillies. Totally bland and tasteless. Overpriced and very poor quality.

Turned up early without booking, so we were happy that they could fit us in, as they said they were busy, and we only had an hour. We were seated, with drinks, but then they took twenty minutes to return for our order. Tables were filled, their orders taken, and food delivered, whilst we were still waiting. The table behind us complained about the same situation, and then it appeared within minutes. So we complained also, & low & behold ours appeared!Mine looked like it had been under a sunlamp for twenty minutes, as it had acquired a nice crust on top. One dish was completely wrong, which was replaced promptly. Probably the best out of the lot, as it was really fresh! I felt sorry for the waitress, as she was lovely and polite, but the place is a shambles.Yes, it was reasonably busy, but there were still vacant tables...god help them if they were full. Food was mediocre, when it finally arrived (over an hour after ordering) I wouldn't choose to visit again.

Used House of Spice several times. Food varies tremendously. Inconsistent quality control - Last 3 experiences: onion bhajees: week 1 salad , sauce & bhajees - very nice. Week 2 no salad & virtually no sauce, week 3 burned bhajees, no salad, no sauce. Naan bread - vary from overdone to very good. Curries - same story - sauces can be excellent but you never know.

Foods very good. And couldn't fault it. The service needs some work. Certainly not bad service but not the kind of service that makes you remember. Doesn't stop me being a regular though

One of our Cuddington Kites opponents gave us this decent recommendation for a post-match curry. Sharp service and good food in decent sized portions. The colourful water 'n bubble optics provided an edgy feel to the pleasant countryside interior. Various photos in the restaurant suggest the likes of Cilla and Ken Dodd have previously enjoyed meals at House of Spice.....Good rural ruby....

Went out with friends to House of Spice in Haddenham and found everything you would expect from a quality curry house. Good service and good food. Not outstanding but for the money, spot on. Atmosphere and furnishings were good. Easy street parking outside. An inexpensive night out.

Fancying a bit of Indian spice we called in to House of Spice without booking.Lovely cold beer, and two fantastic curries that we shared. Lovely helpful staff, I recommend this as value for money with ambient surroundings.Defiantly going back for more!

Ordered 3 takeaways from here. First one told £15 for free delivery. 2nd time told £20 for free delivery and this last time they told me a price for food and then increased the price for delivery. When I questioned it they lied so I checked the prices on the menu and they charged me £5 more than menu prices. Don't trust this company, they are ripping people off and the food is mediocre at best. I won't order from here again as their business ethics are very wrong.

spiced up fish jalfrezzi was beaten by a chicken korai and the fish was a little bit burnt but not overcooked will visit again but with a different choose of food and had to wait a long time for my starter like nearly an hour and the place was only half full

The initial service was quite slow and the cooking took quite a while too. I had chicken Bhuna and the chicken was a bit rubbery (cheap?) and the sauce was a bit powdery and also slightly bitter, so not the best, to my taste anyway. The ambience is very classy, like a very smart pub, so that's a plus, particularly if it's a romantic evening out or something like that. Maybe I should have ordered one of the more exotic chefs specials, but you would have thought a humble Bhuna would have been better than that.
