Le Spice in Epping Forest

Chicken and lamb biryani here is fabulous, rice was pleasant enough.

Worst experience ever!! Food was disgusting 🤮. Definitely wouldn’t recommend!!!

From the food to the Service, this restaurant always exceeds our expectations! Our family especially enjoy the lamb pathia, lamb madras, and the bombay aloo! Highly recommended.

The best Indian food ever! The service is unbeatable! Welcoming and accommodating staff. The food is amazing, couldn’t ask for more. All the lower star reviews are unreasonable.

WOW WOW WOW.. best India cuisine we have had! We have visited many Indian Restaurants, as it’s one of our family’s fav cuisines. The meat whether lamb or chicken is the most succulent we have had to date. The ambience and customer service is second to none. We’ll defo be back very soon! Keep up the good work guys!

Best indian in abbey great service

Order a takeout, the food was very underwhelming, definitely better elsewhere. Salad was thrown in a bag… not even a plastic bowl but a bag, looks like the doggy bags you use for waste. Very unhygienic. Forgot to include the naan bread however did end up delivering it again. Not worth it in my opinion.

As a snobby Londoner who is used to extremely good Indian, my hopes were not high when my parents told me they’d booked a table at Le Spice. But the food here is absolutely delicious, the staff are lovely, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. I’m currently tucking into some re-heated Le Spice as I’m writing this, happy as larry. Can’t wait to come back - especially for the mixed tandoori grill, the Dahl, and the peshwari naan!

We travelled from Norfolk to eat at this amazing restaurant. Food is always lovely and the staff very welcoming We came for the Sunday Buffet and as usual it was freshly made and very tasty

Fantastic food,service and atmosphere always our go to restaurant

We've been eating reguarly in here for over 16 years and even though we now live 1 hour away, still drive down to eat at the best Indian Restaurant we've ever visited. Highly reccomend the Tuesday Night Banquet to anybody who enjoys the finest Indian Cuisine around. Great service too. 10 out of 10 from me.

Absolutely delicious food beautifully presented. We travel from Colchester to eat here and it's worth the journey every time. Sabir and his team are always friendly and welcoming. Keep up the good work 👏

This is the best Indian Restaurant ever. Food, service and food presentation is 2nd to none. Sabir is a lovely guy and explains every dish in detail if we have any questions. Very worthy winners for their Guardian award. The best I can say about Le Spice is that we moved 1 hour drive away to Colchester and travel down frequently just to visit Le Spice. A 2 hour round trip is a huge compliment.

Great night out with my family. Mr Root wasn't with us this time but he recommends it too. Great meal all-round . Great waiters and service. Dan and Ben lardy

People were smoking 🚬 in the restaurant

Love a meal here, regular staff

Le Spice always the best experience and staff super friendly highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful. great food and great service. If you’re looking for a decent Indian for good food look no further !!

Excellent food. Great takeaway. Will most certainly return. Highly recommended. Only observation is that there is too much ghee used (i.e. in the Aloo Gobi) - I had to use tissue to soak up excess.

Best Indian around. Food is exquisite. Staff very welcoming and polite. All round awesome experience. Top marks definitely worth a visit 👌

Simply the best Indian restaurant in Waltham Abbey. We always use this restaurant for takeaways. No artificial colourings used, the food is delicious. Good prices too. Lovely smiley, friendly staff.

Friendly service and reasonable prices. Tuesday night is Banquet Night with freshly prepared dishes provided at buffet prices.

Put simply, consistently the best curry's I've ever had IMO. I travel all over the country with my work so I eat at a lot of places some have come close Cinnamon in Liverpool for example but Le spice is still better.

Incredible food on the Sunday buffet and the staff are very friendly. The waiter is a cheeky geezer too.

Great tasting food as always, one of my favourites

This place are so fantasy and food was very nice all. Staff are nice service are unbeatable .. Thank you Guy's.

Love the Sunday buffet! Could eat just the starters, but everything is really tasty, one of my favourites is the vegetarian curry and also the lamb dish is so tender. Staff know us and always laugh at my husband's jokes even they're not that funny.

Lovely meal and nice staff.we had a great time.

Can't go wrong always excellent 👌

Went to Le Spice for the Sunday buffet for my birthday. The staff were very friendly and looked after us. The food was also delicious with plenty of choice and topped regularly. My fiancee loved the Chana. Thanks to everyone at Le Spice for a great meal and see you again soon!

Usually get a takeaway from here but this evening decided to eat in. The food is exceptional and the staff are so friendly as well. Definitely a place to visit. Portions are great so be prepared to take some home. See you soon Le Spice.

Food wasn't great, and not very spicy despite the name.

The food is tasteless, the service is worse.. and after it being recommended.. Top tip don’t go and buy a ready meal👌 without doubt it is worse curry I think I’ve ever had to eat👊

Nice food, well prepared, easy going, 1st visit, will go again.

Always a great meal here and great service

Great friendly service. Food excellent.

Had a lovely evening meal here and we wasn't disappointed. Upon arrival we was meeted and greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our seats. We were promptly served with poppadoms and drinks and didn't have to wait too long for the mains. Very friendly atmosphere with light banter from the waiters. Food was amazing and large portions too. Will definitely be visiting again soon

The food here is amazing I have eaten in a few Indian restaurants around Waltham Abbey and Harlow and this is still the best The chicken dansak is my favourite the chief has the flavour down to a tee

Great food.never had a bad dish from these guys👍

Great food and hospitality. Highly recommend.

I honestly cannot fault this restaurant. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely and what I like about it is that the waiting staff leave you alone to get on with your meal rather than keep coming over checking on you and asking if everything is okay, they only really come over to the table if you signal to them. Great place to enjoy an evening and they deliver too.

I love the food here! The music is lovely, definitely come check this place out i highly recommend the Chicken Tikka & the Chicken Shazmin! & the Naga Bhuna! Delicious!

We didn’t eat all day as we knew it was going to be bad. Sometimes when you are hungry anything will do. It was a location of convenience for other family members. When washing my hands on arrival the ladies toilet is horrid. For such a small W.C what would it cost to refurbish? I couldn’t get out of there quick enough. Now to my title comment. £16 for poppadoms/papad and chutneys? Come on! How greedy. All the veg curries were bland. Rice was flattened down with an iron. Nans average. Nothing like curry. Then at the end of the meal to be asked if I would like a drink and for it not to be given? Why ask? Very disingenuous. He knew what he was doing. I also don’t like the way they did the bill. I wouldn’t go back if they offered me a free meal.

The restaurant is very clean, food is excellent nicely presented, staff are very friendly and the service is good

The best vindaloo I have ever had and great, friendly staff. What more do you want?

Was a great night, the food was great and the staff were even more amazing. Would highly recommend 😊🍲

I live in Hackney and was recommended this Indian restaurant by my Aunty. The staff were friendly and excellent service. Food was really good would recommend to my friends and other people!!

Good food, wide variety of choices, staff helpful if you have any questions about how spicy the food can be. You will need to book, as it gets very busy.

Best Indian restaurant in the area . Good choice of food . Tried most dishes, it never disappoints., fantastic chef and staff . Clean and comfortable. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful food ! Loved it thank you for our table tonight thank you.

Very nice meal here. Good value on Tues nights. Staff very friendly and attentive

Absolutely brilliant food and the staff are fantastic.

Great service and curry was very tasty

Great food and ambiance staff were very helpful nice restaurant

Really enjoy this restaurant, always good food, good service and lovely waiters.

Had a meal last night. Party of8. Lovely food great service.

We hadn’t been out for a meal since lockdown but we were so glad we chose to eat here on Saturday. The restaurant looked nice and very clean. The staff were lovely. Really made us feel welcome and the man who served us was very funny. We didn’t have to wait too long for the food and it was delicious! We all said how nice it was. There was so much I took a doggy bag home! Ha. To top the night off, we were offered a complimentary drink of our choice. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening and I highly recommend the restaurant.

Slightly hidden away on the first floor of a building off Sun Street and Arlington Mews, you could easily miss this place. My first time here and had a great evening. Great food, friendly staff, good value; I'll definitely be returning.

Very good food from the banquet night with low prices and good customer service I would recommend 👍

We have always gone to Le Spice for years and it never fails to impress! The food is always so fresh, hot, and delicious. Presentation of the food is beautiful and the hygiene and cleanliness in the restaurant is brilliant. A lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and helpful 👌🏼 Would definitely recommend! Rebecca :)

Family run restaurant, always friendly and food great and plentiful. Never leave here disappointed. Kudos to the chef - great food.

Just got in from a really nice meal at Le Spice. The food was as tasty as ever and the service was just as good. Thank You.

Great food and great service! Highly recommend. Especially recommend the chicken madras and king prawn purée, absolutely delicious.

Very very delicious food, amazing and friendly staff, clean and beautiful environment. Absolutely loved eating here - will definitely be coming back again.

Came here as the first time having Indian food and it was so lovely. Had such great food, amazing staff who were welcoming and friendly, very affordable. Will definitely be visiting again with family and friends.

Lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff, delicious food. Will be back very soon. Thanks for the complimentary drinks and Cobra glasses

Great little curry house in Waltham abbey the staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly and the food is well cooked and tastes great. Located above the shops in Sun Street only adds to its charm. This was the 3rd curry we’ve had here and each time...

We have used this Indian for takeaway for years and did not realise they had a lovely restaurant. Weird I know. We took friends tonight and I felt compelled to put this little review on. Quite simply the food and presentation of it is on...

Food was amazing I had an amazing meal, prices were unbelievably good, the fish special was to die for and the mussels in an Indian was a first for me but definitely not my last!! Great food and great hosts 👍 also can't knock a...

I wonder whether the people of Waltham Abbey know what they have here. This is high quality food. Post lockdown we wanted to stay at a hotel and feel some sense of freedom. We wandered into Le Spice and oh-my-word, this is not your standard Indian. This is high quality food, beautifully presented.

Ordered of just eat, tasted nice but me and my partner both become ill, I wouldn't order here again or even suggest it

Use for takeaway all the time, one of the best for takeaway! Never late, Good quality food, cant recommend highly enough.

Lovely food, great service as always

Some months ago I ordered a takeaway as I often used to eat at Le Spice which I always found great BUT the takeaway was absolutely disgusting, I called and complained and stating the food was terrible the answer was " thank you very much...

Always excellent service, amazing food, highly recommend if you're new to the area, if you already live here, you're know how great it is.👌🏼

Great place, friendly staff, great food always tasty and piping hot! Always recommend Le Spice as best in the area 👍

If I could give 0 stars I would, owner has a dreadful attitude and treated my staff with utter disrespect, I will never send my staff if my clients there again, food is well below par, service is diabolical, and attitudes are just plain wrong, I will be putting this place on my black list for clients and staff, avoid at all costs, please go to Ting Tong Thai instead, they are very welcoming and by far better food quality, wish I had found this place years ago

Went in at 9:15, was told we need to leave by 10pm which is fine under the circumstances of Covid, sat and asked for some drinks to start us off, while we look at the menu, and was thrown out by the owner, because he said he didn’t like my attitude, I never had an attitude and I was wearing my mask, I apologise if he took offence and he just flatly refused service. I have never in my life been treated this way by anyone before, will never spend my hard earned money in this place again, he didn’t recognise me due to my face mask, and just goes to show how they value business. Total disrespect, and a clear case of little man syndrome

Great Indian restaurant friendly service good food

Very friendly service. Clean restaurant. The best tasting curry restaurant (eat in and take away), in my opinion. Try the balti and prawn puree.

We were a party of five and booked a table for 20.00 hours. The place was busy with most tables taken but our drinks and food orders were promptly taken and served up shortly after. I had the Murug Nazakat for my starter followed by...

Very good nice food and drinks.

This restaurant is located in a refurbished upstairs flat. It’s unclear that you have to walk into the ally to get upstairs. There is parking behind the shops and also a car park. We certainly was not socially distanced between tables and we felt quiet uncomfortable here. Although, they did have hand sanitiser on site and were completing track and trace forms. Indian is one of our favourite take always but the starters of onion barjji and meat samosas here were my least favourite. They were small and didn’t taste right. The cucumber wasn’t fresh and was more bending than crunchy. The mains were very nice and I got 5 bits of chicken with my main which were nicely cooked. The waiter accidentally put his finger in my drink when giving us our starters and kindly brought me a new glass refilled with water. I’ve seen in some restaurants they bring you back an empty glass which really annoys me. I think there’s better Indians around but this was the only one we could get a table at last minute so not sure if we would visit again.

Absolutely yummy best ive had for a long time

My favourite curry house in Waltham Abbey for many years. Always get good, friendly service and excellent, tasty dishes. I don't eat out often but when I do, this is my first choice locally

Friendly service and quality food.

Really nice local Indian! Great, friendly service and really good food. Definitely recommend!

We were a party of five and booked a table for 20.00 hours. On arrival, we were shown to our table and was sad to see that it was located very near to a party of 10 with no thought for trying to keep to...

Afraid - This is another example of a restaurant whose cuisine is NOT proper Indian. This is BANGLADESHI Food. For people who think its the same subcontinent and same food - WRONG WRONG WRONG. There is a VAST difference. Our fare for the evening 1)...

Everything is mediocre really. The chicken is quite dry. They can arrange special events. Access is via a narrow staircase and it overlooks Sun Street Library/Museum. Convenient location and average prices. Also cater for birthdays which are common here.

Pretty decent on the banquet night which is Tuesday. 11.95 for a naan, a starter, a rice, a main curry, a side and a drink. So great value for money. Place is clean and light and airy compared to other indian cuisine establishments in the Abbey and the house red is palatable. The Lamb Tikka Vindaloo is pokey and of a good sized portion and the mushroom pilau is light and fluffy. However the sag paneer is all cream and cheese and not enough spinach with a strangely sweet and coconuty taste. Staff and service was both polite and prompt and the food was above average. Just a couple of tweaks and this could become the Abbey regular.

Polite service, tasty food but a bit of a difficult entrance with a lot of stairs Well worth the climb though

I have friends who live in Waltham Abbey and we visit twice a month and nine times out of Ten we always go out for a meal here, without doubt the Best Curry In Waltham Abbey, not only is the food top notch but the...

Had a very enjoyable meal will return again

Our local Indian the best in Waltham Abbey Enjoyed many of meals here From buffets on Sundays To main menu on other visits Fantastic food / staff

My husband, myself and our one year old son went there first time two weeks ago and I have to say that we eat out pretty often for years and rarely find a restaurant that ticks all the boxes. The food was amazing, it looked great and the portions were huge. I even came home regretting not having ordered more to takeaway and dreaming for days after about their nan bread. But also the staff was amazing, the service was great and they were also amazing with our son who was not on his best behavior that evening, we kept apologizing and they were very understanding and even played a bit with him which is something that really touched our heart. Needless to say that we will be back. We definitely found our new favorite local restaurant.

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere definitely recommend, my choice is the lamb kori

Ordered a takeaway this evening, very disappointed. The food was cold and was one of the worst we have ever eaten.

Been here on a few occasions, never been disappointed. Food,service, friendly staff. Looking forward to going back.
