Meriden Spice Indian Restaurant in Solihull

Absolutely loved my meal here....staff just brilliant and the food was absolutely delicious 😋

2nd time here within a month. Food and service were again great. Highly recommend.

Came here for my 21st. And just wow. The food was amazing and the staff were the friendliest people. Would happily eat here on a weekly basis. Great job guys.

chicken dupiaza was floating in ghee , chicken was dry , had no flavor one of the worst curries I've had. lime pickle was well past it's use by date was hard like wood and inedible , keema rice was bland ,onion salad had no taste to it , mixed kebab was very bland again chicken was dry .on the plus side the poppodoms were ok nice and crisp and they put a few extra ones in which was a good job as I threw most of the food in the bin. I have had curry from there before and it wasn't as bad as this

Lovely food, free popadoms!! Delicious 😋

90 minutes late. Curry decent, rice clumpy. Never again.

We go here often and I don’t need to say anything more it is amazing the best curries I have ever had. The staff are also so kind and welcoming that’s why we go time and time again. Also my sister is vegetarian and they cater for that amazingly.

What a wonderful little surprise this venue is. The host was very welcoming, not surprising, for such an unusual location, it is in the rooms above the pub. Make your way around the side to the back and enter into a bustling experience. Tables were efficiently moved to accommodate the two of us, and the knowledgeable waiters buzzed about taking their time to prepare orders and explain the menu. Apparently, it is the locals' best kept secret, and there was chatting and laughter, making it a relaxed evening. Because the pub is only downstairs, I would suggest having a quick drink, but you are able to get served at the table from the bar. The food introduced itself long before we sat down through the inviting fragrances, and patrons made their suggestions as we perused the full list of dishes. I'm afraid to say I played it safe and had my usual prawn puree and merga masala. After our freshly cooked poppadoms, the food was served quickly and presented amazingly. From what i saw the other patrons being served, I will definitely explore the range of dishes more next time. The portions were such that if you do decide to go here, I would suggest you skip lunch. Even though it's a small venue, you weren't rushed, so much so that the proprietor introduced himself and was genuinely interested in your experience. One tip make sure you book a table early. The cost was inline local curry restaurants. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend it.

We ordered at 6.20pm and still waiting at 8.20pm for delivery

Lovely meal, lovely service. Thank you so much

Perfectly cooked, delicious food. Would highly recommend. Many thanks

Superb - from initial ordering such friendly polite staff / delivered to our campsite …… again excellent service with the biggest friendly smile and on time and food piping hot 👍 all starters and main dishes were delicious - can not rate highly enough 🤩

If I could give 10 stars, I would do so! Delicious food and delivered so nicely. Many thanks

Fabulous as always. Delicious food, friendly and polite service. Thank you again for a first-rate experience

food was cold nan bread was burnt the chicken wasn't edible. very disappointed wouldn't go back there

Superb food as always. Thank you!

I ordered Friday night and again Sunday because it was that tasty. Not only is the food delicious, hot and fresh but the staff also make this place a gem. If you haven't tried Meriden Spice before I'd highly recommend them, no synthetic colours or flavourings just good quality ingredients crafted together beautifully. 5 stars every time from me.

We have ordered from Meriden spice for nearly 7yrs now. Having recently moved area this business has gone above and beyond to still deliver to us with no let up in the quality. We have just had the most delicious curry a family of 5 everyone one us happy. Quality service and food. If we can’t have Meriden spice il just cook my own! No competition thanks guys!

Amin & his team looked after us amazingly. The best curry we have ever had and if we lived locally we would be regulars!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and the owner, Amin, made great efforts to ensure our stay was positive. Would completely recommend.

Ordered steak n chips no steak so substituted for scampi and chips however the difference in price is 4 .00 so still expected the fried mushrooms onions and side salad as I did pay for them which didn’t happen slightly disappointed

Best curry we have ever had! Amazing waiters and lovely owner, Amin was lovely. It was my birthday and they made me feel really special. So lovely, would 100% recommend

A small restaurant above the pub below. Access is up the stairs to the left of the building. Service was friendly and the food was good. The drinks will be billed separately from the food as they paid to the pub downstairs

Superb meals, all dishes were perfect and the food arrived piping hot. Many thanks again!

Delicious home cooked Bangladeshi Fayre. Friendly staff. Lots of banter Great value Lovely traditional pub downstairs with great atmosphere We are not local - we wish we were ☹️

I enjoy visiting Merdien spice, the warm welcome and amazing food! All of the staff are attentive and can't do enough for you.

Wow , what an evening me and my wife have had at Meriden spice . Great service from all the staff and the food we ordered was amazing . Traveled up from Somerset for the caravan camping show at the n e c .asked to try different sauces as wasn’t sure about how hot the spice would be . ( so glad we did ) . After ordering our food we chatted with a lovely gent ( didn’t get his name) assume he was the owner as was very passionate about the food and the restaurant . When we come back next year myself and my wife will be booking meridian for our main evening meal without any hesitation . Thank you Meriden for a great night .

Excellent quality. Fast, friendly delivery. 😍

Just had yet another fantastic meal from Meriden Spice, top marks Excellent food At a good price. We had a takeaway delivered and your are kept up to date with at what stage your order is , delivery dive was very friendly.

Food, service and additional charm is fantastic, this place is quite special and quant being based above a pub (access from the rear). Drinks and food are paid for separately - family run by people that do care and become long-term friends to all. Highly recommended and due to be opening another restaurant with a difference soon... 👍😉🙏‼️✔️

Magnificent food! Thanks so much.

really tasty food, both curries were very flavourful.

Absolutely great venue for a curry, staff are so friendly and the place is a little quirky and oldy worldly which is really great, now the food is top quality, best naan bread I've had for years and the lamb I had was so tender. All in all it was a great night out. Oh and you have to go round the left side of the building to get round the back of the pub to the restaurant. Highly recommend this place!!

Table of 8 ate here last night while staying at the hotel down the road. The staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was a problem. Food was brilliant, the whole party enjoyed their meals washed down with great beers from the pub downstairs.

Great food and great friendly service. Elvis is the King !

Underwhelming, vegetable Bhaji was a tray of chopped veg, chicken korma watery, naan bread tough, murgh just spicy, no flavour and very tough onions used (outer skin normally disposed of) won’t order again from here, not value for money or good quality unfortunately.

Best Indian food in Coventry/Warwickshire

Love this place , the welcome and quality of food is always superb. If you haven’t been yet you’re missing out !! Can’t get any better , end of x

First visit and one word WOW! Really friendly and professional staff, warm welcome from manager, food some of the best Indian dishes I have ever tasted.great selection, will be visiting here again for sure

Great Find!! Excellent staff, friendly and professional. Great selection of dishes, fresh and tasty, best Indian meal I’ve had for a long time, well worth a visit,

Staff friendly and very helpful , even tried something new . Poppadoms and sauces delicious and food well presented. Would recommend not far from Forest of Arden hotel great find

Love the food here, always remember us and ask how we are and how the family is really nice family run business. Always top quality food wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Always good food always happy and friendly. Love this as a cheeky treat!!! Loyal customers of Meriden Spice

Excellent service, delivered early for me as I was due to start work very much appreciated. Food was very tasty and fresh will definitely be ordering again

I am very interested with are curry tonight really nice are first time of ordering from hear tonight and will definitely order again and the man on the phone was very pliet so thank you very much.

Lovely well cooked food that arrived on time and red hot. Delicious

Great meal tonight. Definitely recommend!!

Absolutely excellent food and outstanding service! Our first visit and made to feel very welcome nothing was too much trouble!

The culinary experience was exceptional, and the staff demonstrated remarkable affability. The chicken malay curry was particularly noteworthy, ranking among the finest curries I have ever savored. Additionally, my daughter was delighted when she received a £10 note to sample the madras. I express my gratitude and anticipate future visits with great enthusiasm.

Food was great and there was a good amount of meat in the curry. Delivery was on time and food was hot. I would definitely order from here again

First time ordering and will definitely be ordering again. Read previous reviews stating it was the best curry people have had for a while and it absolutely lived up to those standards.

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. I am not exaggerating when I say this was the nicest curry I've ever had (we had the Handi Gosht), I'm writing this in the pub next door because me and my other half can't stop talking about it. Decent prices, good portions, really friendly people, and the food was amazing. And there's a pub next door for all your drinks. All in all, definitely worth going out of your way for.

Absolutely delicious!! Had a Handi Gosht and it was one of the best curries I've ever had! Very friendly staff, clean and tidy place and very reasonable on the wallet!

the driver who delivered it was honestly so lovely, would definitely order again!

Brilliant service friendly staff couldn’t be happier with the quality of the food

Every time we visit I order something different and they never disappoint! Great range of traditional curries and signature dishes, something to please everyone in our family. The restaurant itself is a little quirky (feels like you’re in someone’s living room!) but don’t be put off by this, the food will make you forget about it! The service is always great and the staff have a great sense of humour. The restaurant itself doesn’t have a license so all drinks come from the pub downstairs - this means there is a really wide range of drinks rather than just one type of lager on tap. My partner loves that he can get a draught IPA with his curry! Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely Fantastic been using Meriden spice for a very long time the consistency and quality of the food is amazing, gorgeous flavours brilliant service friendly staff highly recommend it, by far the best Indian food I had best in the village

Such a friendly inviting place to eat! The food was amazing! Piping hot and delicious! Absolutely enjoyed everything! Definitely recommend 5*

Excellent food arrived piping hot

Well well what a find my first time & really enjoyed the evening. Great service very friendly staff along with one of the best curries I've had in years made for a 5 🌟 review. Thanks & we will be coming back.

Brilliant food always really good! Had a chicken madrass lastnight and id say it was the best one ive ever had! Ate here many of times and will continue to return! Yum

really nice food. enjoyed it all

lovely food - everything arrived hot with lots of flavour. The poppadoms were thin and crispy The delivery driver was so polite and helped my mom work out the change for our order Will come here again

I've never had a bad meal from here, it's was lovely and it was delivered hot.

We regularly order from Meriden Spice. The food is lovely and always delivered hot and on time. The service in the restaurant is brilliant too, the team are really nice and thier hospitality is excellent. Definitely recommend them for takeaway or eating in. 5 🌟

Well done to Meriden Spice, just had a gorgeous take away, spot on, and at a great price too xxxxxxxxxx

Had a take away this evening, delicious curries all with plenty of chicken and very tender lamb. Would highly recommend.

We were just visiting and popped to the Queen's Head for a pint, noticed this place from the beer garden and booked a table. Honestly one of the best curries I have had in a while. It's small but had a very friendly atmosphere. Will recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Wow has to be the best takeaway curry we have had in a long time. We will be using again.

Amazing as always! Great food, good portion sizes and fast delivery. Would highly recommend!

been before to eat in and loved it but the takeaway tonight was disappointing. The chicken tikka massala was so over powered with coconut and the sauce bitty didn't enjoy it at all, also the egg fried rice full of black burnt bits.

Good curry, friendly staff, reccomend!

Fast delivery and friendly driver. The food was really nice and just what I needed after a full day on my feet at the NEC. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful as always, thank you!

Absolutely amazing meal. Would highly recommend. We were a table of 11 staying locally for a weekend. Food was tasty, good sized portions and very reasonably priced. Amin and his dad were so friendly and accommodating it almost felt like they were part of our friend group. Definitely 11 full bellied happy people when we left.

Very nice restaurant, very friendly staff, food very good , hot & reasonably priced. How clever an Indian restaurant above a pub ! We were staying at Somers wood caravan site , about a mile & a half away , one of the restaurant staff kindly dropped us back to the site , save us walking in the dark & rain , very kind . Certainly recommend this place.

2nd time ordering from here. Food was beautiful again, really fresh and gorgeous tasting. Female delivery driver was great always delivers on time food is nice and hot. Popadoms, keema naan, Chicken Pasanda and Chicken Ragesawri. Now our favourite takeaway. Highly recommend.

Food arrived fast, well packaged and hot. As always food tasted amazing. Definitely one of the best places for delicious Indian food.

Totally amazing! The service is perfect, the food is delicious and the price even better!!! We loved it and couldn’t rate it higher. Definitely go!

Arrived for our first visit to this restaurant a few minutes before our 8:00 p m booking, but the table was not ready as the diners from an earlier booking were lingering; we were about to discover why. Invited by the proprietor to take a drink in the lounge of the pub below and 20 minutes later the gentleman came down to collect us and our drinks. For starters we shared a tandoori combination and for mains we chose a couple of the signature dishes supplemented with a dhal, portion of basmati rice and a nan. Not only would I would describe the taste of the food as outstanding, but the quantity of food was also ample. We really took our time to enjoy all the flavours. It is quite a small restaurant having perhaps 35 or so covers. It seemed to us that there were many regular diners as there was a fair deal of friendly conversation with the staff, but this did not delay or spoil the service in any way. All in all we had a splendid meal and a super evening.

Our new go to Indian restaurant. The food and the service are both fantastic. The place is small but it’s so friendly that this only adds to its charm. Advise to book as it gets very busy

Probably the best jalfrezi I have ever had! And I have a jalfrezi at least once a week. Service was awesome and the family owned business guys were lovely. A great experience. (Don’t order a taxi; use Uber!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious, would highly recommend

This place seriously is the best Indian food I have ever had! And the staff are so welcoming and friendly, we now use this place all the time! 10/10

couldn't ask for better! thank you.

So disappointed with the flavour of the curry which was described as highly spiced. But was a extremely very very mild tomato flavour, However , The quality of meat in curry was good and food arrived hot and driver was friendly.

First time using this place and can honestly say food was amazing!! So fresh and tasty defo recommend and will use again. Delivery was really fast! Great service

Absolutely brilliant place to eat, great food, great atmosphere and greatvalue for money. It is like eating in your own front room

Went here for the first time last night and was very impressed. Their menu has so many different choices and food was superb. This is the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to and I’m just sad that it’s all the way in Meriden and not closer to me. Staff were very friendly.

An amazing family owned Bangladeshi restaurant above the Queens Head in Meriden. We have been eating here for a number of years, and are always amazed at the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the excellent service. If you enjoy lamb, then try the traditional Bangladeshi Handi dish. The slow cooked lamb melts in the mouth, and the sauce is rich and medium spiced- Great with the incredible light and fluffy Nan bread. The pub bar below supply the restaurant with a great selection of drinks, including real ales.

We had another lovely night at Meriden Spice. We were celebrating a 70th birthday. Great service. Staff couldn’t be nicer and they always want to make sure you’ve had a good time. Food can be tailored to your tastes. Drinks are from the Queens Head pub downstairs, which has a good range of beers and other drinks. We visit regularly and have recommended to friends and family who also love it.

Meriden Spice is an amazing family run little restaurant. The food is amazing, their South Indian Chilli Masala is one of the best curries I’ve even had, spicy but delicious. Elvis, Sarg, Junior and the team are so wonderful, they make you feel like part of their family.

What a wonderful find. Very friendly staff, wonderful food and good atmosphere. The other diners were obviously regular customers and friendly which made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommend.

1st time but definitely not the last.

Wonderful restaurant- great food

Bought takeaway a thought I would try chicken tikka madras great meal with plenty of chicken

Great food. Really nice staff and good atmosphere. Would really recommend them for people staying in hotels nearby or flying from Birmingham. 👍

Been ordering of these guys for years,amazing food and great service.Nice and friendly, always throw a little extra in there 👌 would recommend to anyone 😁

We visited on a quiet night. Outstanding service, good value, enjoyed the food, lovely poppadoms and dips. The best recommendation is that we will return.

Staff were incredible, very polite as soon as you walk through the door. Quick service, offering drinks and food as soon as you’re seated. Hands down the best food i’ve ever eaten. Would definitely recommend
