Mevagissey Spice in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Been before, so enjoyed it! Unfortunately, on this occasion it disappointed. Service was fine, food was not. We were presented with the wrong dishes. The dishes were fine, just not as ordered. Unfortunately, our complaints fell on deaf ears. We enjoyed our evening, just not our meal. Shame.

Fabulous food ,highly recommended, large portions . Ideal to bring your own alcohol . Recommend to book ,can get super busy

Good value, quality food and plentiful servings. Staff very attentive, worth the drive out to Meva.

A fantastic location, wonderful food, friendly service. Very happy to recommend.

Delicious take away, ordered for collection.

Great take away with a menu that more than satisfied vegans and meat eaters! Prompt, timely collection.

We where so shocked, we had a paper menu and looked online for delivery to be told that we could not get a delivery. With and order of over £150 to be told that they won't deliver when the Web site and the menu say they will I am shocked. Such a shame. Very rude on the phone when we called and asked for delivery.

Warm welcome. Wonderful food (esp. lamb saag). BYO alcohol.

Delicious, flavourful dishes. Funny waiter. Quite expensive drinks. Little bit of a wait on food.

Very nice food and amazing service :)!

There was six of us last night and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals 😋

Wonderful selection of well prepared and presented

Absolutely lovely food....different dishes from the usual.....atmosphere was buzzing....we thought the staff did very well dispute how busy it was....our first experience of 'bringing your own' alcohol and thought it was great.....will definitely recommend it and go again .

Had a Really good meal with friends on Friday and will Book again... glasses were provided. But remember to bring your own Alcohol....They sell soft. Drink's...food was good. Which means it was good. As I don't waste my money on bad Food. Service. Enjoy.

I had madras, my boys masala, absolutely phenomenal!! Naan breads were to die for. My madras and pilau rice were cooked to absolute perfection. Would 1000000000000000% recommend spice to everyone. (Also we didn't get to eat our food until a few hours after collection and it still tasted beautiful!! 😋)

Don’t go to the loo. The floor is so greasy that out friend slipped over and it was a ice ring Such a shame as the food was great

I think possibly a victim of their own success. The food was good and i think after their recent award, my expectations were very high and were not met. There was nothing wrong, but I was expecting something special. I wish I could honestly score higher for service. The young man who served us was fabulous. They were very busy at least 50 people dining all at the same time, and the poor chap was working alone. He worked very hard and certainly deserves the recognition. I guess it's a family run business, and I know recruitment is hard with very few people looking for work in such a hard environment, but he really needed the help. It's worth visiting if you're local, but dont go in expecting too much.

Beautiful food, lovely staff and altgough6 quiet (out of season) was lovely background music and very relaxing, amazing portion sizes and value for money.

Very friendly staff but the food was unbearably sweet. My curry tasted like someone had poured a bag of sugar into it.

Lovely food we go once a week haven't had a bad meal yet,nice relaxed atmosphere no rush,take your own drink which is another plus friendly staff,can be a little bit of a wait when busy....but what's the rush

The curry was great. one of the best. Good size only let down was no chapati's had to use nans. P.s no alcohol but zero corkage fee to drink your own 🍺

Didn’t receive anything to say our booking was finalised but we’re told they had contacted everyone One to watch out for Food ok BYO a bonus

Gotta love a curry. Service a little slow, perhaps down a couple of staff but food amazing. Bring your own booze.

Really nice food the service was really good nice people. We had a meal for 4 for £89. Starters and mains. Onion bhaji was nice, mains were of good size, rice you can share with 2 and naan is not too big. One thing the chicken makani was more like a korma.

Food here is very nice, quick service and well priced. They accommodated to our group when asked about adding extra spice to one of our meals. Food came out at the same time, which often never happens for a such a large group who dropped in on late notice (13 of us) staff were lovely and very attentive. The atmosphere was good, quite busy however the decor was slightly outdated, this however does not bring down the overall score of this place due to how good the food was and how well priced it was

We arrived as a group of 13 and all of us had an amazing experience. All food arrived quickly and was absolutely fantastic. The servers were friendly and enthusiastic, making sure everyone had everything. Deffo the place to go for a fantastic curry.

Often very quiet but don't let that put you off. Had a take out and it was a bit slow considering the restaurant was empty however food was great. BYOB if you are eating in.

Very good for take away can’t comment on eating in, good selection of dishes, all the dishes I’ve had have been good, order online or by phone

Service was very good and the food even better. We ate here last year and it was good then, however the new owners have been in for around 9 months and this was one of the nicest curries we have had for a long time. Saag chicken and saag lamb. Good portions excellent quality. Bring your own alcohol, soft drinks are available. Lovely staff. We'll done Mevagissey spice.

The food here is so tasty, just the right amount of spices, and aromatics and such friendly service, really enjoyed our visit and will return on our next visit *****

Good service and wonderful food. Let down by the shabby resturant. Could do with a lick of paint to make it look fresh and welcoming. Prices competitive and bring your own alcohol.

Pleasant restaurant, very clean looking but lacking atmosphere possibly as there was only one other couple in there. Service was friendly by one young man. Gave up waiting for bill and presumably hot towels or being asked if we'd like coffee. We had to wait at the bar for ten minutes to pay. Food was nice and actually we would go again.

Super restaurant, great menu, will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic food be warned we had chicken tikka naga Very hot 🔥 but very nice

Great food.excellent and friendly services, happy to visit again. highly recommended. thanks 😊

Ordered a takeaway for collection last night. Food was prepared and ready for the agreed collection time. Excellent food and the Honey Chicken dish was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend

We were the only customers for most of our visit. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing!

Out off season so very quite, but lovely food lovely atmosphere friendly staff went twice in 7 days will go again on next visit,10 out 10minutes and 😁😁

Popped in for a takeaway tonight while stopping overnight in the motorhome just up the road. Very friendly and top food, thanks 👍👌

Excellent food. Wonderful time.

We went on New Years Eve. Service was good and food incredible.

Takeaway as always absolutely spot on.

Visit this place on Monday evening, place was very quite apart from us only one customer was there, first impressions was not very good only one gentle man was in service. We order bangali specialities, I must say food was fresh and really tasty, we finished nearly all portion was in good size, but rice portion is bit small 😋. I found it bit pricy compare to other restaurants I have been.

Great food as usual 😋. Service very good. Had a variation of meals all of good quality.

I would highly recommend this amazing restaurant for a take away treat! Food delicious, hot, plentiful and ready on time... Loved it! 😋

A little gem in the heart of the town. Busy with seat-in and take out orders. Ordered takeout. Wasn’t disappointed with the quality or portions.

My wife and I had dinner here yesterday. Food was hot, plentiful and good quality. Both of the staff who served us were friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit enjoyable. They both appeared happy to be there. The, 'BYO' alcohol is not a problem, we have used a number of restaurants with this arrangement before. It is also well displayed at various places in the windows of the restaurant. Based on my experience, do not be put off by some of the bad reviews and give it a try.

Wednesday evening. Excellent. Lucky enough to have very good Indian restaurants on the doorstep at home. So Mevagissey Spice was a home from home. Struggling with staff, they invite you to take your own alcoholic drinks but serve soft drinks. The waiter worked so hard, bless him. We had the garlic chilli chicken amazing and good portion. Saag paneer best I've had, the rest of our meal was lovely well done chef. A real delight and a very reasonable bill.

Lovely food, great portions. Would be helpful if there's a big sign saying dogs are NOT allowed inside, as it's one of two safe places to eat we found in Mevagissey, if dogs trigger your asthma. My husband is asthmatic, and dogs trigger asthma attacks, which could easily kill him. So we asked, before entering, if dogs were allowed. Despite the reassurance that they weren't, a customer came in to collect their takeaway, with a large dog. So my husband had to leave, on our first visit. We did come back, again lovely food, and good value. And it's bring your own alcohol, so they do concentrate on the food.

Absolutely wonderful, delicious meal. Can't praise the place enough! The staff are absolute gems! Thank you so much for a truly lovely evening. X

Visited for midweek dinner, bumped to 2 stars because of the friendliness of the waitress. The takeaway menu has some non-curry options but nothing on the dine in menu, if you have any non-curry eaters I would not recommend; seemed an inconvenience to do anything and shoe string fries were rock hard and chicken not great. Curry was okay but not great. No alcohol served but not obvious. Quite expensive, nearly £100 for 2 adults and 2 children with mains, couple of starters and drinks.

Great service and friendly staff. Over priced (almost double what I would normally pay in the Midlands). Food was not what we were expecting. Lacked authentic flavours. Plain naan reminded me of an oven-cooked flat garlic bread from Aldi. Chicken Shashlik came with cremated green peppers in some nasty sauce. Tarka daal was nice though. Very disappointing overall. Shame really.

Considering it’s the only Indian restaurant in Mevagissey it’s the best one in Cornwall in our opinion. We’ve had take outs and dined in, the food always tastes perfect and mouthwatering. We highly recommend Mevagissey Spice 5/5

Generous portions, great taste and fast + kind service, but really missed a classic mango lassi and mixed grill was just slightly burned. But still highly recommend!

Great evening out - very tasty meal with gentle music in the background. Food was really good - had a sweet honey chicken masala and tandoori paneer with great conversation. Would recommend if looking for an Indian meal in the area.

Had a lovely meal here great 👍food curry was awesome staff was nice and helpful

Good place to fill up your tummy.

Delicious food friendly service 🥘🍛 shall be back very soon 😋

Had a very nice meal. Really good. Changed a bit since my last visit as they no longer serve alcohol, but you can take your own (small fee). The owner was explaining that's it's hard to get staff at the moment so he needs to spend more time in the kitchen rather than front of house, hence the decision to stop serving alcohol. Actually I think the food has benefited from that decision as well it really was excellent.

That is the last time we eat from this takeaway. Staff have an attitude on the rude side, asked for a chapati, and was told, it’s not on the menu, so you can’t have one, chicken in one curry was undercooked and pink in the middle, one was like eating treacle, and the other only had four pieces of lamb in it. Take my advice and go to the Chinese around the corner

Have been here before and food had been excellent BUT tonight oh my Food terrible. No taste. No flavour Paid money for bad food. What a shame. Sorry but won’t go back

Oh dear . Waitress was lovely charming and friendly . Took ages to get a shared starter The clay oven paneer bland . The chicken cooked ages ago and tough as old boots . Sorry to say the worst curry I have had in years 🙁

Just had a lovely meal this evening, we were a party of 9 adults and 3 children and the food was delicious.

Shame they have let the service and standard slip. Waited 1.45mins for the main dish and food was poor compared with previous. Alcohol BYO is acceptable but needs to be made clear when booking to eat in. Lack of staff and people leaving tables after sick of waiting. This happened to us 3 years ago too but thought we'd give it a go as food has been very good previously, but could not recommend it's worth the wait. Stick to Takeaway meals if you have time for possible long wait.

Great meal in a lovely restaurant.

Could not fault the food it was amazing and very tasty - Slight gripe is they no longer sell alcohol something ive never experienced from an Indian so went to the local shop as was told by the lady inside we could bring our own but its not the same drinking cans in a restaurant!

Absolutely amazing food really enjoyed my king prawn vindaloo highly recommended thanks guys will definitely c you again when we're down on holiday again 👍🥃👍

Very disappointing- we decided on a take away as restaurant was empty and not very welcoming, no alcohol licence (bring your own). Food not very tasty wouldn’t go back

Following my previous 5 star review I'm afraid to say it's gone horribly downhill. Firstly, they are no longer licensed so you can't enjoy a Cobra with your curry unless you take your own. If they had put this out on their socials we could have been prepared. Secondly, the food was shockingly bad. Uncooked puri, stodgy nan, tasteless curries and poor service by the one waiter left running the place. What a shame 😔 My previous review below.... Superb! Second time in a week we've eaten at Mevagissey Spice and the food & service is spot on. Keep it up guys!

Poppadoms, starter, Naan and a main all promptly served all very tasty. I couldn't fault it one bit. All plates cleared. Excellent.

Absolutely terrific food (try the honey chicken masala and pineapple rice), very friendly funny staff. When we were the only ones eating in they asked us what music we wanted playing. We were only in Meva for the weekend but ate here twice. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food best Indian in Cornwall

Absolutely delicious food perfectly spiced with a great choice of meat and vegetarian dishes. Always served with a smile too !

Ran out of beer, very slow service, under staffed. Sub standard food.

What a lovely restaurant. We had an amazing curry with rice & peshwari naan. So tasty, fresh and so well spiced. Served whilst really hot too! Service was great and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food - brilliant service . A must when visiting Mevagissey.

Fantastic food and service! Have found our local curry house!

Great food. Always have a meal from here when we stay in Cornwall. Really fresh, lots of flavour and great value for money. Highly recommend.

Food was great .Service really good.

Fantastic curry! Thought we'd have a takeaway on our first night of hols there. We had heard good things and it did not disappoint! Both our meals ( Jalfrezi & Madras) were spot on, flavourful and hot! Will definitely be back in before we go home. 👍

Omg everyone that likes Indian food should try this restaurant the food was absolutely fantastic all the food we had and shared was fresh hot and very very tasty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

One of the best Indian meals, thoroughly enjoyed it, would highly recommend

Excellent fresh food and great service. Fish curry was amazing.

Struggling with staffing levels, which means a long wait for food. Nice traditional Indian restaurant with good menu.

Visited last night for evening meal. Due the pingdemic there was only two front of house staff. I have to say you wouldnt know it. They kept everyone served not too much of a wait the food was good, and the waiter took the time to talk to us. Worth a visit.

Tasty food for the going southern prices.

Probably the best Indian food we have had for a long time we are from the midlands and was not expecting such great service and friendly staff would %100 recommend

Fantastic service and food from Ian and the team. Tasties Sheek Kebab I've had in a long time! Will be coming back here on our next trip!

Cracking food, lovely bloke running it, good value. Would come again

Nicest curry ever ! Totally recommend the honey chicken tikka and lamb patia 😁

Great food if you like a a curry this is the place.

Lovely food, very clean. Not expensive.

Brilliant food and service, staff very helpful dealing with my coeliac condition with ease. Possibly my favourite Indian restaurant!

Very nice food. Took longer than expected to be ready but enjoyable.

Ordered takeaway and was worth the hour wait for collection (they were clearly very busy). Chicken Madras was excellent.

Food was great...lovely service had a great night

We went to Mevagissey Spice while spending a week in Portmellon next door and to be honest we weren’t expecting a lot from such an untraditional Curry house. HOWEVER, we were very, very wrong. It was absolutely delicious. No new, trendy made up curry dishes. These are all the curries you grew up with cooked really well. The menu’s the length you remember too - not page after page of curries you’ve never heard of. The only modern twist was having straight chocolate at the end instead of after eights - at last and than goodness. Terrific meal and thank you!

Excellent service and food, first class definitely recommend 👍

We had a takeaway from Mevagissey spice last night and we where not disappointed. Food was excellent, lamb and chicken beautifully cooked. Great food and service by the very friendly owner Daz. Keep serving up fantastic Indian food.

We ordered a takeaway from here and were pleasantly surprised! Great tasting curry and good portion sizes. Definitely worth a visit. Would recommend the chicken balti :)
