Leigh Spice Indian Takeaway in Southend-on-Sea

Always a consistent performer. Great food and friendly timely service. Food was ready on arrival. Hot and fresh.

the time given originally before booking wasn't even close

Driver was lovely, the food came very quickly. The food was great as always.

Great as always. Hot, fresh and excellent quality ingredients.

When the food's as good as it was, it can be a little late.

Absolutely amazing just like normal

Unusually bland not very nice…!

Ordered meals for four. Unfortunately my order Vegetable Nargis was meat! As we were with guests and didn't want to break up the evening I threw it away. The other meals were very good. On collection we were told it was £40 but if we paid cash £36, do visa charge 10% ?

Lovely as always! Our favourite Indian in the area.

Excellent tandoori chicken very tasty.

Slightly early but not a problem, Food was great thankyou

Excellent food and fast delivery 5*

Ordered at 5.55pm, received food at 8.20pm. When we rung the store to question the arrival time there was always an excuse, “short staffed”, “just packing now”, “there was a mix up with your order”. We was kindly given £10 back in return and a discount on our next order but £50 spent and a 2 hours 30 minute wait (50mins longer than what it should have been) for warm-ish food that didn’t have anything wow about it, I don’t think we will be back to claim that discount. Very disappointed

not in our catchment area anymore apparently but still delivered! need to update on here!

Very late delivering a small order. Told me minimum order £15 and seemed to blame me for just eat not updating their listing. Have ordered lots from here previously but this will be final time. They do also seem to mention cash on collection a fair bit so suspect they are not fully tax compliant.

Checked reviews before ordering for first time. Had chicken tikka masala & tbh wasn’t impressed. Food was lukewarm considering it’s only about a 5min drive to my house. Sauce was watery & tasted bland, nothing like a masala at all. Haven’t had an Indian meal for years & was so disappointed ☹️

After reading the reviews I am very disappointed, the food arrived an hour and 15 minutes late from my scheduled time. When the food arrived the chicken was dry probably due to being in the container for a long period, and the food was lukewarm. The food did have a nice flavour but it would have been so much better if it was fresher and the food was hot.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I won’t order an Indian meal from anywhere else.

We have ordered here for a while now and it’s always been consistently delicious , hot and on time. Everything was amazing as always thank you Leigh Spice.

Lovely hot food, delivered on time on a busy night. And a very nice delivery driver.

Late order. Lemon rice didn’t taste of lemon but lots of chillis instead! Food not warm enough. OK but had better.

Without doubt the best Indian takeaway I’ve ever had been going here 9 years quality every time highly recommended

The one place you can rely on for consistent standard and good quality takeaway. I don’t go anywhere else as they never let me con

Always the best when it comes to Indian takeaway in Leigh, sadly the delivery time is always a minimum of an hour, maybe see if getting more drivers will bring times down? Food is always hot and tasty though Thanks

Why take orders if you cannot deliver them in a reasonable time, Greed vs Service Excellence .. 🤔

Tasty food, not oily, samosa was lovely and crispy. I liked it and will order again.

Can't review the food as it hasn't turned up yet, it's over an hour late. Ordered at 18:21 now saying it be with us at 21:10. Shocking service.

Food was awful I threw it in the bin

The worst delivery experience. Food still hasn’t arrived and it’s been over 2 hours

Had a takeaway from Leigh Spice for the first time last night. Pre-ordered online during the afternoon. The food arrived on time and was clearly labelled. It looked fantastic, the portions were very good and all of the meat was of decent quality and generous sized pieces. All the family agreed it was an excellent takeaway. Probably one of the best we've had in a while. I went for the Lamb Tikka Korai with Mushroom Rice (see photo). Definitely recommend this takeaway. Go try it - you won't be disappointed...

This is our 4th curry from here and I honestly wouldn’t want a curry from anywhere else. The menu is extensive and every dish we have had has been very tasty, consistently good food.

Delivery - no mango chutney, veg curry was made with frozen veg, chicken was chewy.

Absolutely amazing, my favourite Indian delivery service. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, best Indian around delivery time was moved slightly but worth the wait

Delicious as always. Chicken tikka korma is unreal 👌🏼👌🏼

As usual, great food, good service! Thank you Leigh Spice!

Great value, best we have had in a while, very recommended

Absolutely great, would have liked two lots of salad as ordered two tandoori dishes. But food was excellent!

My favourite Indian in Southend

Excellent food and loads of it. Great value for money and lovely staff. Always order our curry from here, best around!

Very tasty, food was hot and delivered on time, favourite Indian around my area

They sent a wrong dish!!!!! Chicken instead of lamb….but other than that…..perfect food!

I am a regular customer and have noticed that standards are lowered. This time food was disappointing with dry Chicken Pasanda and not fresh Nana bread. No mint source as usually would be supplied. Arrived more approx. 40 minutes late.

The food was excellent, every dish had its own flavour and was enjoyed by the whole family. Will definitely order from Leigh Spice again.

Food was all fantastic but the biryani was very bland

Food freshly cooked, piping hot, excellent. Wrapped well and delivered by friendly staff. Thank you.

As usual, perfect food, polite friendly service!

It was a fabulously delicious curry, certainly one of the best in recent times. Well cooked so it was hot on arrival. Which was 35 minutes early and delivered by a very courteous and polite young man. Certainly a very good curry house. Thanks

Tasty food, delivered hot and on time!

Delicious as ever and the best in Southend!

Delivery was late. Driver was rude after I refused to come and collect my food from him after paying a £3 delivery fee. The curry itself was bland and the lamb very gristly. Won’t be coming back

Ordered lamb but got chicken, no bother still nice food

Best Indian in Leigh for sure!! Always hot and fresh.

35 minute delivery, but arrived within 20 minutes!! Very happy!!… delicious food, all fresh ingredients, full of flavour and cooked to perfection… would highly recommend.

Food is ok but I will not be ordering again the reason is their driver basically loudly saying in the street that I should have spend more for money if I want it delivered. Well the restaurant need to change that on just eat rather than such a behaviour.which I find quite insulting. Although I paid for the food I ended up not eating it after such a display of behaviour from restaurant driver . Definitely will not be ordering again from them

Best Indian throughout hadleigh/benfleet

First time we have used Leigh Spice, great food, piping hot, delivery was early, will definitely order from them again

Soooo nice!! I’ve lived in Leigh a year and haven’t found a decent Indian yet. How have I missed out on this place!? Absolutely delicious. I had chicken tikka masala and it was so nice, so much flavour! Bombay potatoes lovely! Bhuna amazing! Will be ordering from here again x

Loved the meal, everything was really nice. The delivery driver informed me that i was out of your normal catchment area so I appreciate you still delivering to me. Much Appreciated will order again 👍🏽

took over an hour and a half. what. a. joke.

Food ok, but wrong order sent. Refunded dish via the app.

Definitely one of the best tasting curry’s in the area. Our go to :)

Fantastic every time. Different dishes, fresh flavours. Since our last ‘go to’ Indian restaurant closed this has become our new firm favourite. No need to go anywhere else!

loads of dips, no poppadoms! Naan cold.

Once again outstanding!! So fresh and tasty 10/10

First time eating from Leigh Spice tonight and it was delicious. Delivered on time, everything was piping hot and really fresh. I think Leigh Spice will now be our go-to. Prices are very reasonable too!

Great food delivered as promised

My regular local Indian takeaway - always great tasting and good value. Have tried other local curry houses but this suits me best for delivery or collection.

My fave Indian take away! Food is amazing!!

Always excellent food from here. Highly recommend.

Our first time ordering and it was on time hot and lovely !! Thank you so much guys we will use you again :)

Fabulous just marked 1 down as it was cold when delivered and veg curry had too many onions

Chicken overcooked and delivery driver always leaves my gate open

Not been here for nearly 5 years, so as our usual one is getting more expensive and seems to be less food we looked for an alternative for a take out, easy online order and pay, food was generous sized portions but above all a very good price, got a large amount for 3 people at £28 inc Half a Tandoori Chicken, Balti, Pathia, naan and a large starter, and large salad, our usual would be nearer £40 now, just a takeaway outlet so less overheads, complimentary cut Orange and Popadoms, good food and service, and a very favourable price.

Great food good price Quick delivery!

Lovely takeaway from Leigh Spice, my only complaint was that perswari naan was lacking in taste, more like plain naan with just a few bits of coconut in it, other than that the meal was hot, delicious and was delivered on time

My fave Indian of all time. Lovely food, hot when delivered and service with a smile.

Nearly 2 hours and still waiting

Ordered a take away from just eat order placed 6.08 and confirmed at 6.08 arrived 8 oclock ish some of it cold and not nice I will not be ordering from this take again very disappointing.

2 hour wait for delivery. Food very poor, some of it luke warm

Great food. Enjoyed by everyone.

Really good food, decent portions and exceptionally quick delivery. Driver was Friendly too 👍great job guys! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very good! will definitely order from here again :)

Great little find! Fantastic curry

The only criticism here is not knowing if rice comes with any main course. So as to avoid an excess of rice (which often happens as it seems to come free with curries etc) we didn’t order any rice as an extra. So guess what, our curry arrived and NO RICE! A curry without rice is like a car without wheels so overall the meal was very disappointing. I’ll order rice next time and probably end up with about 3 portions as usual! Otherwise the food quality and delivery speed was great.

Beautiful food! Would definitely recommend and will be ordering again soon.

The good quality was excellent, better taste than majority of benfleet takeaways , 5 star for the chef

Really tasty curries with tender meat. Beautiful, highly recommend

Great food as always. To be honest I’m addicted to this place as the food is so good!

Easily the best curry we've had for a long time. Really tasty

Chicken was quite dry but flavour was OK. Disappointed that previous voucher for poor ( non existent) service that was issued has now expired. Seems mean spirited to provide a "refund" that expires after a week and you can only use at Just Eat as well. Such an empty gesture - I will be ordering direct or from one of your competitors in future.

Best curry I’ve had in a long time!

Best Indian food around. Never disappoints

First time ordering and really impressed, will definitely be back!

Food was well cooked and piping hit as always can't knock this place each time it's spot on and cooked fresh as opposed to a lot of horrid places locally

Oiliest food I’ve ever eaten. Every single fish, even the rice was absolutely dripping in oil. No spice whatsoever. Very disappointed and won’t order again. No idea how there is so many good reviews.

Lovely food again. Mint sauce is a bit different and very strong garlic taste. On the whole very tasty.

Part of order mixed up, but just went with it. Nann was poor. Rest of the food was good though.

A Takeaway with Restaurant quality. I ordered a vindaloo, jalfazi, nan and onion rice. The vindaloo source was just right, the jalfazi was hot with lots of chilli, onions and peppers.Non of the dishes had a greasy top layer, both dishes were full of flavour and good size portions. Takeaways are a bit hit and miss. This one is definitely a hit.

The best Indian in Southend !
