Manha Spice House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The quality of food is always high and the service is always good. What more could you ask for? We use this Indian food about once a month and have never been disappointed. We always have it delivered and it arrives well packed and hot. Highly recommended.

Owing to the cost, Indian takeaways are a luxury nowadays and although I've found Manha to be good value in the past I don't think it is nowadays. The order was delivered on time but we found the food to be just ok. Chicken is still a very cheap protein but our tandoori meals weren't very pleasant being more bone than meat and lacking in flavour. I'm not sure which dish had the little bag of salad with it but we ordered two of everything so I assume it was meant for two people and if so, it was a really mean little addition. The cost of the bag probably outstripped the value of the contents. Sadly, I don't think I will be ordering again anytime soon.

Everything delivered very hot and well packed. The food was excellent and excellent value. We gave August a miss but we are back again for September. We have been very busy so a takeaway is great and this was a great takeaway. Highly recommended.

This Indian style takeaway is certainly the best of this type of food in this part of Cornwall. We have lived in many parts of the U.K. Who would have thought that we would find such a good ethnic takeaway restaurant in Cornwall! Highly recommended.

Bank holiday treat and it certainly was. It has been too long since our last Manha Spice delivery. The food was packed well and arrived piping hot. The flavours were as good as always. Probably the best Indian style food in this part of Cornwall. Highly recommended.

We have had a couple of delivered orders now and have found the food to be amazing and the delivery service is excellent. Highly recommend!

Every time I’ve ordered food from here my order is always wrong. Is this a coincidence? Has any body had the same experience? It’s always less food than I paid for. Will not be going again.

We have had two deliveries of great food from here. One was when we had a friend visiting in September. She had one of the milder chicken dishes and loved it. We had something a little spicier but equally good. The second delivery was just for us and mid November. The food was equally excellent. The delivery was on time and everything was hot & well packed. If you like this type of food then look no further. Highly recommended.

We have used this take away ever since it opened. The food is always top quality and that quality never varies. Whatever we order it will be the same quality as last time and we know it will be just as good next time we have it. This gives us the confidence to return over & over again, try new dishes, and to thoroughly recommend this restaurant to readers of this review.

Had delivery, it came and the curry had spilt in the bag over all our food as the lid wasnt on properly. Rang them up and was told that it couldnt of spilt and he was VERY rude, delivery driver came back and said he would call us when he got back to arrange a refund (as he could translate to english better) which never happened. Will never order again!!

We have been getting a delivery every couple of months during the COVID-19 crisis. The food is always as ordered, well packed, on time and still lovely & hot. The dishes are well prepared and it is a very welcome change from cooking. If I was to be at all critical it would be of me in that I need to use this excellent service more often so that I can try more of the menu!

Every couple of months we fancy an Indian meal. The Manha Spice never disappoints. Our most recent meal was delivered bang on time and was up to the usual high standard: full of flavour and well prepared. I liked that the latest delivery was packed in a cardboard box. None of the containers leaked as sometimes happens in a plastic carrier bag and it means that all packaging was recyclable. I hope that this is a new policy. This is almost certainly the best Indian/Bangladeshi food in Cornwall in our opinion and we have eaten this style of food in many parts of the U.K.

I will never use this place again I am a local and used this take away for a while...ok food but always hit and miss...I never normally complain until our last order ever there...we had friends visiting...we ordered and as usual it was late...half the order was missing which was upsetting Our friends had been driving all day and One whole meal was missing not to mention 2 side dishes and the chip that completed another meal all we just wanted to do was relax...I called to ask what had happened I was pretty much called a liar by the man who took the order...when I explained we had discussed the menu and the fact he hadn’t taken it properly or added it up right he insulted me then the manger then asked me what I wanted them to do about it and I asked for the food to dropped off,..he to,d me I would have to pay for the food and delivery....after disagreeing and then putting the phone down on me the finally delivered again....still forgetting most of what was missing And it was cold...my son came to stand by me as the big driver started to have a go asking why all the fuss...I was upset as this was in front of my guests..this is the most horrible experience I have ever had...being insulted no refund...and the driver called my son a C**t at the top of his voice..which then the neighbours heard....I called the next day and asked for a refund due to the awful scene and food...I was denied the manager is awful theysmoke weed all the time hence missing the order s most of the time..it is so wrong that they can get away with this and put the phone down on you...I have taken this further!

We order food from here occasionally and usually avoid the weekend rush. We had a brilliant meal tonight, delivered early and packed full of flavour. I really must do this more often!

We ordered take away on-line, expected delivery no later than 90 min but arrived later than 100min, poor show. BUT food was good

Ordered from here via just eat . Food was 15 minutes late but that's nothing to complain about . The veggie coconut korma was tasty , it was more sauce than veggies but that's how I like it personally . It wasnt the best curry I've ever had but it was a nice local takeaway . Only thing I'd say is add some vegan options !

Went because it was nearby but very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Lamb was so tender chicken beautiful. Tasty sauce. Friendly staff. Wish it was local for us

We’re lucky to have such a good takeaway curry house within walking distance & use it most months. Gentleman who answers the phone & takes the orders is very friendly & professional even when really busy. Food is great & looking forward to next meal

Never eaten Indian food in my life, but with our choices of open and delivering restaurants limited, we thought we would give it a go. We were all delighted with food, the quantity was very generous, and all delicious! Without a doubt we will be ordering again future.

Edible but flavourless and basic. No effort to make it anything other than bog standard...If you are desperate for an Indian this will just about do the job, but I’d look else where or eat something different as you’re unlikely to come back. I collected, the interior of the collection area was pretty minging too. I don’t understand why these joints don’t spend £100 on a couple tins of paint and spruce themselves up, maybe I’d be more positive about the whole experience if I hadn’t sat in a shabby dirty shop front for 10mins?

A great local Indian to our holiday cottage. The food was fantastic and super yummy. Great flavours and fresh. Delivery was prompt and food was hot.

We always get a take away from this restaurant when on holiday in the area. Food is very good. Nice selection and very reasonably priced. We collect rather than wait for delivery as some have commented about the length of time you have to wait. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed our delivery tonight. You are our go to place if we feel like a night off cooking.We’ve never been disappointed but tonight was just so delicious. Thank you. We will def be back!

Very poor service, I ordered food at 6 o'clock, the food didn't turn up untill quarter to 8! When it came it looked good, ordered the chicken madras, with keema naan... food looked good, that's about as good as it gets unfortunately.. zero seasoning, no taste to it and no spice that you would have in a madras , not even I hint of spice. Really don't reccomend this place if you wanted a enjoyable meal! Bland, flavourless and time wasted waiting for food!

We have visited Manha spice multiple times and every time the food was impeccable. Quick service, a wait of only 10 minutes when we visited, and reasonable prices for an Indian. The curries, chips and rice were all amazing - clearly made by experienced chefs to the highest standard. Customer service was brilliant, only complaint is the plastic bags, however many takeaways still are quite behind on this. I definitely recommend Manha Spice to everyone interested in a good Indian in the surrounding areas or visiting.

I am sitting with my food on my lap. I was content to wait for an hour for my food. What is not good enough is to receive a phone call stating my food is about to be delivered only to wait a further 50 minutes and for the food to be soggy when it should be crispy and salty when it should be spicy. Really poor. I won’t be ordering again. Especially as upon arrival the driver asked me for a further £3 delivery fee. Not worth the money or the wait.

Bit of a wait but in fairness we were told that there would be a hours wait when we ordered and it arrived right on time. Excellent meal , will definitely order from here again

Ordered a takeaway. Main dish was missing. Phoned and was told it would be delivered within 20 minutes. Despite chasing up twice, around an hour later still not delivered, hence why I’m writing this. Poppadoms were lousy too -all saggy and wet

We regularly order from here. I have never been a lover of Indian, but it is one of my husbands favourite so we decided to give it a go. We haven't turned back since! Everything tastes so fresh, And you can taste each ingredient used. The wraps are a firm favourite. My only criticism would be that the mint yogurt could do with some improvement, but the mango chutney makes up for this. Delivery is always before the stated time, and we have never had any errors in our order (even when placing a large order.)

Stunning food at a great price. During a recent family jolly the shout was curry after a long drive from London. Manha didn’t disappoint, the website makes it a breeze to order online and when the food turned up I was blown away. I’ve eaten at Atul Kochhar restaurant Benares and had him cook for a party of 22, 100 feet up over in the docklands (dinner in the sky) and I can honestly say the chef/s at Manha should be proud to cook exquisite food not far short of Atul’s crew. Expand if possible to spread the good food around Cornwall and beyond.

This is probably the best Indian food in Cornwall and it is close to us! We always order by telephone and generally get the meal delivered. The food arrives very hot and near to the predicted time. We have never had a bad meal and the coconut rice is to die for. When it says the food is spicy, it is. Menu descriptions are accurate. We thoroughly recommend this take away.

Ordered a takeaway through the just eat app. Initial estimated time for delivery was around 70 minutes which was bad enough. Only to be told it would be another 20 minutes late again. We watched an entire game of football before it arrived. When it arrived there was a totally half assed apology for the wait from the driver, no suggestion for some form of compensation for the mighty wait.

Use this place regularly so have learnt that you need to allow quite a bit of time for your order. We don't mind this though when the food is so good. Best place around for a takeaway. Staff are friendly.

We had a takeaway from here yesterday evening. Every dish was great. Not greasy, nicely cooked. We ate really well.

Food arrived very hot, very tasty. A lot of flavour, and in a reasonable time. Had a take away here a couple of times here , and both times very nice. Will definitely be ordering again

Ordered online to collect and when my partner arrived for collection a good while later, they hadn't even seen the online order and had to look it up, so clearly don't check it regularly. They then didn't have the ingredients for what I'd asked for so he had to phone me to change the order, and only then could they even start making it, so it was a long wait. Upon getting it home, we found the so-called chicken pakora was nothing like pakora at all (pictured - mushy chicken with coriander in breadcrumbs) which I couldn't eat at all, the vegetable samosas were also full of coriander which I hate, and the curry, despite specifically requesting "no coriander", was also full of coriander. So, it was a very long wait, didn't get what I'd wanted, when it did I could barely eat any of it, and to top it off, I was ill the next few days so suspect it wasn't cooked very well but of course there's no way of knowing for sure that was the cause.

Great food and very reasonable, we were staying at a nearby holiday village and they delivered to the site. Good portion size and lots of meat in the curry and tikka. The staff were very helpful on the phone and delivery. Ordered to be delivered at 7 and arrived at 7. Thoroughly recommend

We ordered at 6pm asking for a delivery for around 7pm on a Friday night. The man on the phone was very friendly and he said it will be around that time. When it came, the food was absolutely delicious! Best curry I've ever had ever! Highly recommend. The jeera chicken was amazing and the Chana sag side dish is wonderful!

Rented a cottage in cornwall found one or two decent pubs to eat, best meal in two weeks was a takeaway from Manha Spice House .found a lot of bad pubs

We love food from the Indian subcontinent but the restaurants in Cornwall often disappoint. This is only a takeaway but the food in probably the best in the County. The delivery service is very good. Give it a try.

Fancied a takeaway after a long day at work. Ordered chicken makani & special fried rice. Really delicious, was cooked fresh & still really hot after the drive home. Staff were really friendly. Would definitely visit again.

just ordered an indian for me and hubby and it was hot, fresh, tasty and litterally perfect and we would deffo order from again.

Wir verbringen ein paar Tage im Gwel an Mor Ferienresort in Portreath und sind per Zufall auf den Indischen Take away im Nachbarort Illogan gestossen.

We use Manha all the time always have excellent quality food and good delivery service good portions too

Tried the takeaway. And the food was really good. Everything was freshly done and tasted amazing. Nan bread with almond and coconut was delicious.

Stayed with my daughter in Illogan, Cornwall. We wanted a indian takeaway and she recommended this one. Food was absolutely top notch, probably the best curry I have had, reasonable prices too.
