New Spice in Rother

This place is a very great halal restaurant with very kind and hospitable staff. I would highly recommend visiting this if you’re ever in the area

It is very nice. Only down side is that it does serve alcohol. Other than that, I would definitely recommend to try this place

I had a surprise retirement party thrown for me and as usual Mac , Moss and co served a superb feast with excellent service

Friendly staff, excellent service and absolutely amazing food. We are on holiday from Nottingham and wish this place was local to us! Well done guys :)

i Had a takeaway at lunchtime last tuesday it cost £60 and was awful the chicken was tough and the sauce was watery not nice at all times i have been before have been really nice but not this time a waste of hard earnt money maxine

Best Indian Restaurant so far in the area. Recommended a long time ago .. only just started to use and have used twice now, think we have found the ‘the one’

Great food. Good service. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Also been back since on a Saturday night to collect takeaway. Restaurant was full and 3/4 groups waiting to collect takeaway. Staff still calm, patient and polite and food still good.

Really enjoyed the food, we got the grill platter as a starter and meat and prawn curry as mains. All dishes were perfectly cooked at the right temperature! My 5 year old really enjoyed the meat steak and curry considering he is a fussy eater. Definitely will be returning again.

Just a lovely village Indian restaurant. Very well run. Always a warm welcome and food consistently good. The staff work very hard to keep up the high standards. Never had a dissapointing visit. Certainly one of our favourite Indian restaurants.

I've eaten on three occasions. Always superb, excellent food, service and a complimentary drink at the end was a nice touch. Highly recommended.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. Excellent service, excellent choices. Friendly and helpful.

Fantastic food and brilliant staff with humour and knowledge. Wonderful range of dishes. Will definitely be regular customer.

First time here excellent evening, staff really good, food good atmosphere perfect. Suprisingly busy for Wednesday evening.

Delicious food, great serious, lovely atmosphere, best curry in ages. Loved it. Recommend it for family, friends, kid friendly.

A wonderful dinner, with great Service and smiles; we were delighted that they were able to offer us a table at short-notice.

Fantastic food, lovely service, friendly and gave me a free dessert and prosecco and sangre happy birthday to me, beautiful experience, thankyou so much.

Such delicious food. Very pretty location and restaurant. Our grandson’s birthday (he loves curry) and they brought his cake out and sang. Perfect family restaurant- and also perfect date night place!!

We visited the lovely village and saw this curry house as we was walking by ,it was the best decision we made the food was really authentic and every dish had its own flavour,it was really busy but the waiter and waitress were really friendly,they give complementary drinks to all their customers witch I thought was a good move definitely will be coming back

Extremely busy on a Saturday night this friendly neighbourhood restaurant is staffed by a lovely team. However the curries were terrible. Butter Chicken and Lamb Pasanda were both made with the identical inedibly overpoweringly sweet and claggy thick bright yellow almond sauce. The Chicken Madras was in a bland lacklustre watery tomato sauce. The rice portions were tiny. The bill however was punchy and eye watering. The popularity of this restaurant one can only imagine is because it’s the only one in the whole village, all the more reason why the food should be outstanding and delicious which sadly it isn’t.

Very disappointed with the quality of the food this time and it’s getting worse very sad to say but we won’t be going there again.

Eat here almost weekly, takeaway too and can’t fault them! Absolutely incredible food, so tasty! Never had a problem and ready so quick. Staff are so friendly too.

Had takeaways from here for many years but today was the BEST EVER. Tried a Mirchi - very hot and spicy 🌶 a new favourite!!

Absolutely faultless service and delicious, freshly cooked high quality dishes. We cannot fault the meal we ordered for my birthday today! We’ve been recommended this restaurant by many friends and were not disappointed. They use great quality ingredients and clearly cook each dish fresh (not just add meat into whichever premade gloopy sauces we’ve experienced elsewhere). I’m Indian and like to think I know a good quality Indian restaurant and this place has blown me away! You’ll find whole spices in your pilau and curries which to me is a sure sign they cook everything to order. Highly recommend the mixed tandoori grill, paneer tikka shashlik, lamb dhansak (the lamb falls apart - delicious lentil curry that has a good kick), aloo gobi (even beats my mums and that’s saying something!) and the fresh tandoor cooked naans (we loved the peshwari and kulcha). The pilau rice was fragrant and tasty. I can’t fault the meal and highly recommend this restaurant for take away or sit in. Thank you for making my lockdown birthday still feel like a treat and thank you for the bottle of Prosecco - a really lovely gesture and much appreciated. Order your next takeaway from here - you won’t be disappointed!!!

Having moved to East Sussex two years ago I have been making extra special journeys back up to Surrey to my old Indian restaurant as the ones I have tried here have ranged from rank to mediocre, with one of them even giving me a hair of unknown origin in my Tarka Dal! Yuk.However, I'm working through a list of Indian restaurants and I tried New Spice last week for a takeaway and frankly I am glad that I did. Very good service, polite and courteous staff and even though it was a Friday evening they didn't keep me waiting for ages. Oh, the food? It was excellent and I am going to use them again. Excellent and thanks.

Food is delicious, and they offer a great Sunday deal of starter, curry, rice or naan and side dish for £14.50. I believe they also do deals on other days.

You will always get the warmest, friendliest welcome and top flight service at New Spice. The food is so delicious, cooked true to traditional recipes but with that special something..and generous portions, always! The takeaways make home dining special, they just dont taste like typical takeaway dishes, and I highly recommend eating at the restaurant; the service is superb, snd atmosphere warm and 'upbeat'. A visit to New Spice lifts your spirits. Book early though! It's popular.

Ordered online which was pretty straightforward. Good choice of standard dishes and their own specialities. Ready to pick up exactly at time ordered. Food was very good and Huge portions, enough for another meal the following day so worked out good value.

been here a few times and i’ve never been disappointed, chicken tika masala is my fav, best curry house around!

Myself and my husband came away to Hastings to escape London for the weekend. We came across New spice and were very impressed! We got the mixed grill as starters which was a great portion and very tasty. As mains we were recommended the prawn bhuna, daal & chicken curry. All curries were outstandingly tasty and we definitely have a reason to visit Hastings again. Thank you to the staff at New spice - you were all amazing hosts! See you soon.

We ordered a take away during lockdown and we were surprised with how expensivethe takeaway was. The prices had increased but not the quality........Having eaten here many times, we decided to give them another chance and booked a table during the Eat Out to Help Out...Nobody asked us to clean our hands with sanitiser, which we hadn’t seen on entering the restaurant. As it is not very visible due to No signs or member of staff to advise you or ask you to.The menu is not 1 time Use...supposed to be with the Covid and the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme Rules,The original offers have been removed..Another rule break.Prices have Been ...increased further. So Expensive.The quality of our food was disappointing and dry.Constantly asked If we wanted more drinks..Whilst waiting a long time for our Food. We had bought plenty of drinks and drinks on the table. So didn’t need to be asked constantly if we wanted more drinks by the waitresses.. (who were told to push the drinks.The bill is not itemised for your drinks ....just food. If you can work out the writing.. After a long wait for the bill....With the £40 discount deducted. We worked out the balance was still More than we had paid at another Curry Restaurant we had been dined at, who was Not taking part in the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme.Sadly helping out the New Spice Restaurant is a one way street. They are not helping out their customers by hiking up their prices considerably and removing their usual offers. Which is also against the scheme rules.If the food had been enjoyable you could forgive a Moderate Price Increase.Please remember everyone has been affected by Covid and have lost out financially.We are voting with our feet and will not eat here again. It is so easy not to bother doing a review but not in this case...very shockedBy the lack of Covid rules and Scheme rules and the ridiculously high prices.Shame On You.....New Spice More like Over Priced......

Ok not visited here for a few years now , went early evening and all CO 19 restrictions in place, quick friendly attentive service , and food very nice.Its amazing how the same dish varies from establishment to establishment.Tikka Masala best for a while , the butter chicken was just a tad bland but overall not disappointed in any way , we will be back soon.

I’ve been to New Spice several times over the past few years and the food has just got better and better. This time my son was visiting from Manchester, self-proclaimed curry capital of the UK, and he said it was the best he’d ever had.

After living in London for 10 years, and being an Indian cuisine lover for considerably longer. I can wholeheartedly say that New Spice in Robertsbridge is the best Indian food I have ever had. Super friendly staff too which is always a massive plus! Definitely worth a go if you're craving a good Indian. A gem of East Sussex.

We were staying in Robertsbridge for a few days and got a takeaway from New Spice the food was absolutely delicious and very swift - we were really impressed ! Thank you so much for such a lovely meal !

Lovely food and lovely staff. 10/10 reccommend best indian around! Would reccommend the al mashriqui

Lockdown has been hard on everyone and so to find out these guys were back open for collection was just incredible. Always such a lovely experience, friendly staff and tasty food. Perfect treat for the family during a stressful time. Thanks so much New Spice- spot on as per usual!

Eaten here lots of times. Never had a bad experience. Loads of choice. Good value and they often offer a complimentary brandy or liqueur to go with your coffee. English food available if one of your party is less adventurous.

We experienced the usual great Indian food and excellent service. There is an extensive menu, although only really ice-cream for pudding. The complimentary liqueurs with coffee are always appreciated.

Having been blown around Brands Hatch all day, it was a blessed relief to have dinner on a Saturday. Night at the New Spice. Great lively atmosphere, food excellent as was the service.If your ever in the Robertsbridge area, make sure you visit this place.

Booked last minute on a Saturday evening. Upon arrival the car park at the rear certainly made things a lot easy with two young children. The restaurant was modern and contemporary, staff were friendly and efficient and got colouring pads and pens for children which was a real nice touch. Good selection of chutneys with popadoms.Ordered a selection of curries, rices, nans and sides. All we a very high standard and could not fault any of it ! I had a hot chicken dish which was recommended by the waiter chicken Dom ..... something which was lovely flavoursome and spicy, a change from my normal chicken naga. Hygiene rating of 4 which is the lowest I would visit and think there is no excuse for establishments not hitting 5 hopefully they will get this on the next inspection. It’s certainly not the cheapest curry house, but I am more than happy to pay for this quality and in a village with no other Indian restaurants as competition.We will certainly be back in the near future .... thanks to all that made my partners birthday an enjoyable evening with top notch food and nice drinks. The complimentary drinks at the end were very tasty and another nice touch!

We have a passion for Indian food and have tried many venues and this doesn't have the added sugar that many Indian restaurants seem to have these days,Highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

We go here every time we are in Robertsbridge. The food is decent quality and the staff are good. Above average food with plenty of choice.

Whilst away for a family wedding we decided to look for a local curry house and found New Spice and liked the look of it and the reviews sounded good. The reviews weren’t wrong. Very nice little place in a quaint little village, with really friendly staff. Great menu offerings, with the obvious staples and a selection of chefs and house specialties, the food did not disappoint. Piping hot and extremely tasty food was served up with minimal fuss, with a good range and selection of alcoholic and soft drinks to accompany. The best part was the complementary warm brandy for the men and Tia Maria with cream shot for the ladies. A definite must visit if you’re in the vicinity and you’re looking for a curry.

These guys did the catering for our wedding at Frickley Lakes, Ninfield. They were very well organised, communicated well and worked with us to get a menu together for our guests. They supplied all of the cutlery and crockery for the event and were on-site to set up at the right time. They provided someone on-site to help with the buffet and keep the food flowing during the afternoon.The food itself was amazing. The quality of the dishes was top notch and the guests all have said how good the food was. There was also plenty to go round so the band and bar staff tucked in as well.We cannot recommend these guys enough. They made our special day even more special by taking any hassle about the catering out of the picture!

In October each year we have a lunch at Old Spice with 14/20 folks , it gets better every year, Mac many thanks for looking after us , You and your staff are great and the food more than excellant . Thanks so much , see you soon.

Having extolled the virtues of this establishment in a previous review, I am now forced to view it in a completely different light.

Tonight was our first visit to New Spice and we were extremely impressed with the food, the service and the ambience. We could not fault it in any way, it really was a 5 star experience.

Lovely friendly restaurant. Food a little on the expensive side but to be expected as only place for miles. Service good, although poppadoms were stale. Dips were plentiful. Food nice although would prefer a little more fresh ingredients to come through. Asked for second round of drinks but was forgotten. Lovely after service complimentary drinks. (Although wasted due to driving).

This is the best curry house in East Sussex. Food is hot and incredibly tasty. Tuesdays and Sundays they do a meal deal. Great service as always.

This will absolutely be our new Indian restaurant! Having frequently visited another Indian restaurant in Tudley for many years, yet grown frustrated with the lack of good customer service and food quality in decline, we were searching for somewhere else to fill the void and thankfully we discovered New Spice!

I live in the village and used New Spice as our local Indian restaurant over the past few years.

Very tasty food, excellent service, great ambiance. Simply the best Indian meal I’ve had since moving down to the South coast 9 years ago.

Had not realised the good value Sunday night deal they have here. No wonder you have to book. Lots of happy people enjoying the food. Moss special is my favourite. Lots of Cobra drunk. +

First visit. It was very busy on a Saturday night. It is a nice dining room, with pleasantly spread out tables. The tableware is of good quality. The service, even though it was very busy, remained efficient and polite. The menu is very large. The food was very good, and I particularly liked that there was genuine ‘heat’ in the spicy dishes which is quite rare nowadays. We were a large party and they had no problem dealing with that, even though they were very busy.I will definitely return.

went for my birthday. just can not fault this restaurant. once again great food and great service. a+++

This was the first time I have visited New Spice, a quality restaurant in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, for my daughter’s birthday on her suggestion.

This was the first time I have visited New Spice, a quality restaurant in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, for my daughter’s birthday on her suggestion.

First time here to have a take away on a Saturday evening.

Lovely welcome, excellent service,our party of six, enjoyed there food, nice atmosphere. Surprised my daughter with a bottle of Cava,complimentary drinks for us all, will definitely be returning. Great value for money.

I live locally to this Indian, and is the best. We visit nearly every week, sometimes even twice!! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is to a high standard. Would Recommend booking as its always busy!!

lovely food great staff friendly atmosphere car park to the rear. value for money. cant fault especially the tuesday curry night for £12.95 ,any main side and rice or nann bread

We popped in again as passing through from a long drive and hungry. I work locally and have eaten here a few times and every time they have never got my order right. So as it was on our way home we decided to try again. When we got there only four other tables with people eating to pretty quiet. I ordered a lamb curry and when all of our food arrived I started to eat a veg dish I had ordered and it was lovely my hubby was tucking in to his dinner. When I started on my main dinner it was chicken not lamb I went and questioned the order and yes I had ordered lamb. In fairness they offered to cook another one but I decline as the time it would have arrived hubby would had eaten his did not go to a restaurant to eat alone. The waiter then came and asked if they could cook one for us to take home no thank you dinner is now and 8pm why would I want to take one home. To be honest I was very surprised to be billed for the whole meal no discount off my dinner at all for the inconvenience. This is not good customer service and will not be going back.

Was a bit of an impromptu visit, but got a table for six. Poppadoms to start, with various curried mains. I had one of the lamb specials which was really good with mushroom rice. We were given a complementary drink after the meal, my brandy came in its own little warming stand with a tealight. Nice to have a good curry house in the area, would go back !

We visited this evening as the reviews were great.

We visited here whilst staying in the village and reading various reviews. We were not disappointed as the service and food were excellent and the menu was a more varied than your average curry house well worth a visit.

Friendly and attentive staff who were well presented and really nice. The food is fantastic with lots of flavour & a large selection of dishes. Definitely will be back soon!

We visited this evening after a friend recommended it to us. We are fairly local, but had always gone to another Indian in the area. This evening we decided to try somewhere different, and we are so pleased we did.

This place serves up an excellent night out. The food is genuinely superb as is the friendly service.

I hesitate to write anything nice about this wonderful restaurant because I selfishly don't want it to get any busier than it already is. Everything about it is first class from the friendly welcome you receive on entering to the complimentary liqueur at the end. For 50 years of my life I'd never eaten anything other than chicken korma in a curry restaurant through sheer nervousness at trying anything unfamiliar. But because I don't think you can possibly go wrong, I've tried all sorts of things in here and haven't yet been disappointed. The only thing that worries me is the name. You should never call anything 'New'. The New golf course at St Andrews was opened towards the end of the 19th century and probably is a little embarrassed about its name today. Still, Old Spice conjures up the wrong image of gents' toiletries and so I'm afraid it'll have to stick with New Spice.

Absolutely gorgeous meal. Came on a Wednesday and it was very busy but waiters very attentive and food was worth the wait. One of the best curries we have ever eaten. Delicious.

Popped in whilst passing through. Magnificent meal. Beautiful flavours, classy, original dishes. Great staff and wonderful olde worlde surroundings yet tastefully presented. Loved it.

Went for a meal to celebrate daughters 18th birthday. Tuesday night special - was perfect. Food delicious, great service. Can not fault them. Have been getting takeaways for years from here and love it.

I have eaten here many times over the last ten years. I have enjoyed even more take away. Have to say it like it is. Great value for money nice food backed up by nice staff. What else is there to say.

Staying at the Lady Stella Bodiam and went on the way home for a takeaway.The food is one of the best we have ever tasted. The flavours are fantastic, the ingredients are so fresh and quality of meat is excellent. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend if you are in this area.

We were staying At Brightling Park for a wedding and met up with friends the night before for a curry and a catch up. This restaurant is a little gem, the food was really good, the staff were really friendly as were the other guests! If we're ever in the area again we'll definitely visit.

We needed dinner on a Monday night and were told this was a good place to eat. The staff were attentive and the food was excellent. We would definitely return

Whilst on holiday in Robertsbridge we ordered a takeaway from New Spice. It was ready at the time stated, the staff were friendly and efficient and the food delicious. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night for another one. Shame we live so far away to get their loyalty card as would definitely visit regularly. Highly recommended.

New Spice definitely exceeded my expectation.Great welcome, very friendly staff and food was delicious. I'm coming back

Went on Tuesday Night, when deal was on really good bargain. Great food , quick service, will come back.

Making the most of the long bank holiday weekend, I came to stay in the hasting and came across this gem of a place.

Excellent food and service.. great manu lovely atmosphere carpark beautiful cottage looking restaurant.i will definitely return

Excellent food, fantastic service, massive private car park. Has a beautiful homely feel which set a good feeling. Will revisit and recommend.

food was delicious the staff was very friendly the tamosphere was excellent..... over all loved it ,,,,see you soon

I recently visited New Spice and I must say the food was amazing. Food was given on time and the atmosphere was great. The staff were very welcoming and had a smile at all times. I will definitely visit again.

My husband and I turned up for lunch at 2p.m to find the door locked despite "open" signs displayed front and back of building. We could see light on and voices coming from what looked like kitchen windows although they were covered with blinds. We rang their number to ask if they were open for lunch and was told yes they were

We met up with our Sister & Brother in Law who had visited here on a few occasions & we was not disappointed, the setting the service & the meal itself was truly Amazing!! When we visit again we'll definitely be returning. Absolutely Brilliant

10 of us spent £400 on a monday lunchtime. Nice food , 2 waiting staff, one was fine, the other had a personality by-pass. For me, I enjoy a restaurant as much for the food as to how I'm treated. Because of the grumpy waiter, shan't recommend or return there.

We have visited the new spice around half a dozen times in the last few months and should be considered good customers, more shortly

One hundered percent one of the best curry house in the whole of east sussex. Very very nice. Small inside so definitely book!

The lamb and chiken were tough, low quality meat. And the chicken Jalfrezi cost around £12.50 Spices were OK, but service was as abrupt as possible.

First time trying the food at New Spice. Very impressed with the service and the food was very good quality. We will definitely be returning!

The friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food set this curry house apart. I will not be going anywhere else for a curry now on. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Visit and will not be disappointed.

We have been visiting New Spice for six years, and am ashamed to say this is the first review I have left.

I have been a regular here for many many years I live local and don't think I've ever had a bad meal here ! You can come here dressed up on a Saturday night with your friends at the same time fancy a curry after work on a Tuesday with a work friend then just as welcome, child friendly menu, suitable for a vegetarian too my daughter loves their vegetable curry the staff are ace more friendly than any other Indian I have been to, yes they do get busy at weekends so be sure to book but that's for one reason only and that's the good prices excellent food great service and a very comfortable warm atmosphere you won't regret it !

Moved to the area just over a year ago, we just never got around to having a curry. Until some friends suggested we meet up for a curry one evening. On arrival, we were made very welcome, offered drinks, no rush to order while we were chatting. Good choice of all the usual offerings but some really interesting specialties.

Went here for the first time last week it was lovely busy but didn't have to wait long for our food and staff very friendly would recommend this restaurant if you wanted a nice Indian very tasty

First time dining here and have to say this is the best curry I've ever had. The service is fantastic and the restaurant is really nice and cosy inside. 100% will be back.

Often go here for the best curries in the area! Sundays they do a meal deal so even better. Great service too.

Come here often. The food is good and great value - especially on sunday and tuesday when the deals are on. Sadly tho there is always such a massive delay on food and drinks .. just everything. Quite often you still havent got your drink 20 minutes after ordering and you have to re-order. The wait may not be as long if you come as a couple (i feel the resteraunt is more suited to this) but we always come as a 4 or a 6 and they just cant handle bigger tables. Tonight we waited 30 minutes before ordering and by the time our starters were out a table of 2 had come and gone. Not an issue if you are in good company and happy to wait but if you want an attentive service this is not the place for you.

We come here for family get togethers. They do great meal deals on certain days of the week and the food is GOOD. They are always busy so i recommend booking. The staff are jolly and always have a smile. Parking can be tricky as the car park is small and the high street can get very busy but if you are prepared to walk a few minutes you will get parked.
