Jamil Spice in East Riding of Yorkshire

Very friendly . Looked reasonably priced. BUT the food was tasteless and no I don't have COVID.. very little spice in the starters and the mains were like dishwater.... The chicken was of very poor quality. We thought it must be previously frozen as it was hard. It beggars belief I know as the previous reviews were excellent. But for me one bad experience will keep me away forever.

Jamil Spice is THE best Indian restaurant and takeaway for miles. Superb food with fantastic flavours! We go every two weeks for takeaway and the customer service is superb!

Just went to jamil spice a few days ago and I must say I have never eaten Indian food with so much flavour, there was so much going on with the food, it was delicious, I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back again

My partner and I have been to Jamil Spice in Howden twice now and loved it both times. They have all the traditional curries on the menu and a few others I haven't seen in other restaurants, including a decent range of vegetarian options. Each of our meals was cooked to our taste (with the waiter asking how hot we would like it) and was packed full of flavour. The meat was cooked well and the fish in my curry melted in the mouth, it was gorgeous. The waiter was attentive and chatty and made the night more enjoyable. I would have liked to have been offered a soft drink however I have since learnt that at this restaurant you should bring your own drinks - which is fair enough! We will be returning again.

As a regular here, this is by far my number one curry house in Howden! It’s also a bonus having BYOB. The owner always greets you with a smile and hand shake. The food we had was Hot and tasty! Each dish cooked to special requests of Heat which was no problem at all for the chef. I would recommend the chicken Pathia.

Food is nice, but need to take ALL your own drinks. Carpet is worn and grubby, toilet is in need of urgent updating, even a new toilet seat would be something. Don't think I will use again for a while.

Small place in need of a bit of refurbishment, pleasant staff food nice, will go again, New menu looks good don't forget to take any alcohol you want as they don't have a drinks licence.

This place has got a new menu for added interest - not that it wasn't excellent before. The curries are delicious with Murg Harali a personal favourite - but only if you like them hot! Menu is extensive and the reception is friendly and the service very good.

The entree for 2 of mixed meats was superb. I've never had better. The curries were very good. The Peshwari naan needed more filling. Overall an excellent experience

We dropped in with no reservation on Saturday night and were fitted in with a moments thought. Though it was challenging to choose from the extensive menu we picked two unfamiliar dishes which turned out interesting and delicious. Do try the starters for two. Very good value and unreservedly recommended

We’ve been here a couple of times now but it’s very cramped and as I’m a severely disabled person using either my sticks or a frame I found it very difficult to get into the place. The tables are very tight together, and when we asked if we could move to another table to make it easier for me, was told that they would be getting busy shortly and would need the other tables for other people, which put us off right away. The food is good and quite cheap compared to other places we’ve been. They don’t have a license so I expect that makes a difference, you can take your own wine, beers etc, and they will open it and provide glasses for you, so maybe that’s where the costs can be kept lower.

Really enjoyed the starter, Onion Bhajis and main course curry. Decent portions and much more flavour than previous visit...if remains like this will be our regular restaurant for Indian meals. Took own wi e which is good and it was reasonable price for meal.

Have read several great reviews but just not quite that good for me.....portion sizes small to average and not as flavour some as many I have visited.....such a shame as we like the rest of it.....being able to take own alcohol helps balance out the latter I guess....

This place is by far the best curry house in Howden! You are greeted every time by the friendly staff who can’t do enough for you. The food is always cooked fresh and piping hot. I ate a chicken Pathia and it was fantastic! Can’t recommend this place enough instead of the other chain Indians in the town.

Hidden away and small but a great place to eat. Remember the have no alcohol licence so you can have a decent bottle of wine at right money and they only accept cash. Very helpful staff who reccomend well. Food tasty, we will be back.

Visited this hidden gem with family & friends it is a basic restaurant upon appearances, but the food is excellent with very good choice. I have coeliac disease so have to be careful but this is no problem to them will go through the menu with me. Would certainly recommended it.

We're pretty spoilt for choice here in Howden, with two of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at in Zolsha and Jamil Spice.

My husband and I decided to go vegetarian for January so we were very pleased to find so many vegetarian options on the menu. Food was very tasty and the front of house service very friendly and efficient. I accidentally left my mobile phone behind and the owner was incredibly helpful and responsive to my phone and Facebook messages quickly. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed friendly service and tasty balti and hot chicken dish. Starters were a bit overdone but garlic naan and chappati good and main courses good. BYO which is a bonus! Small and basic interior but food quality good 👍

This is an old traditional restaurant, takes me back to the 1980’s in its decor. Nothing flash but a good curry at a reasonable price. Never too busy but great value for money.

Lovely food and second to none service, really made my day to feel so welcomed, wish I lived closer so I could visit regularly. Was given options about how I wanted my meal, food was amazing, hot and fast, couldn't have asked for more.

Visited for an Indian meal with my wife one evening.

Went to this restaurant with a family member and must say by far the best Indian I have ever eaten at. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, food was incredible and the atmosphere was cosy. Would honestly recommend this place to anyone. Best restaraunt in Howden by far.

Wonderful food, hugely substantial portions and very friendly service. What more could you want? Lovely relaxed evening.

Was just passibg through and looking for somewhere in Howden to eat. It was just past 8pm and everywhere was either full or had stopped food. Found this little gem and I have to say it's the best indian food I've ever had. Incredible flavours and textures.

Visited this little restaurant 3 times in the last couple of months, the latest visit last night and as always it didn’t fail to delight. Raj is front of house as well as the chef and he does an amazing job on both fronts, he’s friendly without being pushy and the food is freshly cooked and can be adapted to personal taste which is always the sign of a good restaurant. I love the king prawn puri, the garlic chicken is amazing, I’ve fallen in love with the coconut rice and the cauliflower bhaji mmmmm! Definitely worth a visit, worth noting that it doesn’t serve alcohol but you can take it along and no corkage! Serves soft drinks should you wish but they don’t mind you taking your own. A leisurely meal because everything is fresh so if you don’t like to linger over your meal then this is not for you, but you are missing a trick! Will definitely be going back!

This strange little place hidden away down a back street of howden is such a fabulous little find.

I have never been disappointed with the curries from here, they are packed with flavour and never taste bland. The service is friendly too. The interior isn't the most spectacular but that doesn't matter when the curry tastes this good!

Jamil's is tucked down a side street, with a nice approach looking up at the Minster. But there the prettiness ends :) The food was really nice and the service excellent, but you can't help but come out with the impression that the place is shabby (and not on the chic side!) If you want a good Indian, back to basics, then this place is great. But not one to impress your friends with....

Small Indian restaurant. Very nice food and friendly staff. Not expensive. Take your own bottles. Definitely will be going again

This is a great little Indian, take your own alcohol though, handy to the pubs in howden, fantastic food and friendly staff

Tenía 2 llevar ahora después de una recomendación, pero no convencidos y siento que hay mejores en Howden

Just had an amazing meal here, a very extensive menu with options I've never seen before, no licence so just take your own bottle, absolute winner, lovely warm welcome and door opened for you when you leave. Fantastic

propietario muy amable. La comida era de muy alta calidad y no puntos malos en la carne. No es el aspecto más importante, pero a un precio muy razonable, £24,00 por una comida familiar con comida. Sólo otro comentario es el curry estaba en el lado acuoso, pero sólo mi opinión.

Sólo tuvimos nuestra primera comida en Jamil Spice para casi 2 meses ya que el propietario ha sido, en unas vacaciones en familia en Bangladesh por 6 semanas. Los aperitivos y platos principales eran todo excelente sabor y todo sabía realmente fresco y a la orden. El único problema es elegir qué tener desde el extenso menú que incluye muchos platos que nunca había visto en cualquier otro sitio de más de 30 años disfrutando de curry. El servicio no puede fallar y traer sus propias bebidas alcohólicas asegura una buena relación calidad-precio.

Después de leer todas las críticas favorables en Trip Advisor, me decidí por este establecimiento una prueba, ya que parecía ser uno de los mejores en Howden todo ser lo que uno cerca es también muy recomendable.estuvimos en Howden durante la mañana y fuimos a ver cómo el restaurante se veía desde fuera.Las primeras impresiones no eran buenas, aunque el lugar estaba cerrado en que el tiempo y las persianas estaban cerrados, parecía bastante básicas en el interior de lo que pudimos ver, y ventanas, etc. fuera no haber sido limpiadas durante un rato.De hecho para ser sincero, nos pareció que podría haber cerrado. Sin embargo, cuando me llamó ellos después de su inauguración era en efecto abierto. Decidimos probarlo. Al entrar nos recibió el dueño quien tiene que ser Said es un muy agradable , cap. El restaurante es muy pequeña y estrecha, y tiene capacidad para 24 clientes, aunque creo que sería un poco claustrofóbico cuando nosotros completo.Desafortunadamente el lugar es muy antiguo, así como la decoración es afectado y tiene un poco de D. I. Y.. Se siente como su retroceder en el tiempo hasta la década de 1970. Nosotros elegimos una mesa, que era bastante simple como éramos los únicos clientes allí en ese momento, y no hay otros vinieron mientras estábamos presentes. Pedimos nuestras comidas que estaban con rapidez pero mientras espera en un restaurante vacío tuvimos oportunidad de tener una buena vista. Aunque estoy seguro de que el dueño hace lo mejor el lugar no es el más limpio, tener una sensación un poco y mugrienta. Posiblemente debido al hecho de que las alfombras se necesita una buena limpieza. Al ser un lugar muy pequeño hay un montón de tráfico en la alfombra y es bastante sucio. En cuanto a la comida, estaba bien. Bastante sabrosa y bien cocinada, pero carece de presentación. Mucho de lo que se puede esperar de comida para llevar. Las porciones son pequeñas pero eso no nos molestó, ya que no tienen grandes apetitos.en general teniendo en cuenta las críticas favorables un poco decepcionante tan lejos como la comida, pero sin duda necesita un montón de cuidado en general. En esta clasificación como promedio que me he tomado en cuenta que fue una noche muy tranquila, que posiblemente no dar la mejor impresión. De lo contrario habría clasificado como en general deficiente a la media. la atención al detalle y una puesta al día sería mejorar cosas muchísimo.

Servicio amable, con una gran variedad en el menú y la comida es espléndida nos hace volver para más. Una gran variedad de curris diferentes, naans y arroces. Ya que no tiene licencia para bebidas alcohólicas la posibilidad de tomar su propio sin cargo corkage_nms...

Por lo menos una vez por mes, a mí y a eso de las seis colegas dirigirse hacia Howden un curry de equipo. Solemos ir a Zolsha para su jueves oferta, pero en esta ocasión decidimos probar algo nuevo: Jamil Spice.

Always a good meal with friendly service. Plenty of choice with recommendations always worth trying!

Moved to Howden in August 14 been going to jamil spice every week, the food is outstanding, Raz, the owner now knows what we like and will suggest a dish for us. Just back now and had another new dish, again we were not disappointed it was lovely. We've been to the other restaurant in Howden, I think it's busier and has a good atmosphere, but the quality of the food just does not compere.

A friend and myself popped in on speck on Thursday night, got a table straight away, took our own wine as they do not have alcohol on premises, this really does make a difference to cost on you're bill! Service was very friendly and efficient, but best of all was the food, very reasonable prices and tasted exceptional! , Tend to forget about coming here as it is tucked away down cobbled side street, would normally go to Zolsha, definitely think I will be using Jamil Spice more often!

Welcoming gentleman, provided takeout, answered questions on content of dishes. Very tasty would go again

Went to this very small restaurant with my husband and two friends.The food was delicious.the staff very pleasant .Took our own drink,but that was fine as it made a big difference to the bill.Would go again.

visited again with family, the choice of food was varied with many curries which i had never heard of or tried before and all tasted lovely, the service friendly and helpfull, it was excellent value for money. i am looking forward to visiting again next time i am in Howden

At very short notice we decided to hire this restaurant for a birthday meal for 36 friends. Jamil Spice is a Bring Your Own alcohol extablishment, and whilst people do sit in to eat its fair to say it is mainly a Takeaway Indian. Proprietor 'Raz' was very helpful in assisting us to organise the evening, we agreed an order for individual Mixed Starter servings and each of the 36 people would order a main course on arrival. The night before we delivered our supplies of beer and wine - the Jamil team were busy rearranging the restaurant to ensure everyone would be seated comfortably - a few extra seats were shipped in from another branch!. All meals are cooked fresh to order so naturally there was a gap between the poppadums and starter before the main courses were served. This was not a problem and all of our guests were very complimentary about the service and quality of food. These are nice genuine people and they deserve to succeed. There is another Indian Restaurant in Howden but my experence (having tried both) is that Jamil Spice is vastly superior, albeit smaller and tucked away down a Howden side street. Jamil also offers outside catering, something we shall certainly explore in the future. Well done the Jamil team, a good job well done at very short notice!

We go here often as a family of four, we usually arrive early as it suits us and we have the pick of the tables. Small place but very friendly, could be a bit noisy if full. No booze so take your own, helps keep the cost down, but food is lovely never had a bad meal yet and if you can't decide what you want speak to the owner he'll suggest something or alter something to suit your needs. Kids always made to feel welcome, can't wait to go again!

Visited friends in Howden over new year. we all went for a meal at Jamil Spice on new years night.what a fantastic surprise to find such a gem of a restaurant. Although a small restaurant, the menu is extensive and superb. We all said that the food was exceptional, infact I think that it was the best indian cuisine that I have ever had. Small friendly restaurant with bags of character, the owner Raz was very helpful and friendly. very good value for money. we would highly recommend, If your in Howden give it a go.

Another excellent meal with friends at Jamil Spice.still full.Our friends have now been 3 night in a row.

We are in Howden for 2wks and we have been here three times in seven days, the food is fantastic, I have been to tons of Indian restaurants but there is things on the menu what I have never seen before, the price is also very reasonable, I think we can fit a couple more visits in before we leave

Visited here early on Saturday evening having missed out lunch due to some hectic shopping and am please we arrived hungry. The friendly front of house soon had us relaxed and enjoying a decent bottle of wine purchased minutes earlier from the local supermarket (its a 'bring your own' restaurant). The menu is varied and offers some great choice of different Indian dishes as well as the old favorites. Service was prompt and the food was served in decent sized portions and was very tasty. The bill, when it arrived, was a nice surprise as well. Decent food at decent prices means I will definitely return. Highly recommended

Tucked away down a cobbled back street, don't let the homely, cafe like interior put you off trying this small restaurant.The food is excellent. Our party of five ordered dishes that were each interesting and individually flavoured. The meat used was fresh and delicious, and the flavours were superb. Portion size was excellent. The nan breads were particularly large!The chef really knows how to cook. One other thing; you can bring your own beer or wine, with an excellent off licence only 100 yards away Our total bill for five people including three with soft drinks was under £55. The proprietor is a great guy who really cares about his customers and tries hard to make sure you have an enjoyable visit.Not the obvious choice for a curry in Howden, but you'll get a great meal.

This small Indian restaurant tucked away down a little cobbled street off the Market Place offers a wide variety of good quality food at extremely reasonable prices. An added bonus is the fact that it is not licenced but you are invited to take your own alcohol, glasses are provided and there is no corkage charge. (There is an off licence just across the road) The service is cheerful and efficient. A good place for a cheap and cheerful night out with many dishes different to the norm.
