Newmarket Indian Cuisine in Forest Heath

Have only had takeaways from here a couple of times but food is always top notch. Didn't give 5 stars only because I haven't eaten in restaurant. If my relatives are to be believed then they would award 5⭐

We visited 3 weeks ago then they were having annual 4 weeks holiday should be open in 1 week.

It's the 2nd time eating here and was just as good as the first. Made to feel really welcome. Great pricing and food was really tasty! Would highly recommend. Thanks a lot!

Never knew about this very good Indian restaurant in Newmarket. Gave a try last week and it turned out to be a very good experience. The food was really good, good service and a good place to dine in with family and friends. Highly recommended if anyone is looking to try out Indian cuisine

Very nice food and accompanying Fleetwood Mac soundtrack.

Friendly, professional, and simply fantastic meal. This was our second visit and frankly everyone locally should eat here. The curry was delicious and we had the place to ourselves! Please give this place a try, it’s a real gem. We’ll be back again for certain.

Best vegan curries I had in a long time and service was top notch. Very happy and will be back

A consistently good Newmarket Curry offering

Extremely rubbish!! Ordered chicken biryani, service was good (served by Nick) when it comes to taste speechless😡😡, One of the worst biryani I ever had in my life time… sorry to say that

Really great food, generous portion sizes and superb staff.

Had a meal last night, two of us, I had chicken tikka vindaloo and the food was fantastic couldn't fault it. Only reason I haven't given five stars was because of the strange music blasting out which was obviously the managers choice, was like country and western, he was a very nice guy though and chatted to us a lot. It just made tye whole experience feel a little weird. On the plus side, our meal was £20 cheaper than montaz was for the same meals.

We came is Saturday it was not that busy but had to wait over one hour for food was good when It finally arrived

Came just wanting some Indian food, and had some of the best I've had with amazing flavors. Was told a new chef who is originally from Bangladesh just came in recently and 110% recommend it to anyone! The whole family enjoyed it and the service was absolutely fantastic.

Had a lovely Sunday evening meal here. Staff lovely and food was amazing, even ordered a side dish to share with family member who couldn’t come. Everything was delicious. Excellent onion bhaji and chicken jalfrezi!

6 people first time here. Completely poppadoms, pickles and bombay potatoes.all meals lovely. Service was excellent. Would recommend.

Great tasting and presented food - lovely host and attentive staff - good value for money - will be going back….

Absolutely delicious curry. We had the biryani and sag paneer. Highly recommended and very friendly staff too.

I honestly do not recommend! There was no salt at the table, I ordered 2 gin and tonics and although it was very hot outside (it's August) he brought it warm without ice.. Plus, for a *lamb korma*, 1 nan bread and two glasses of gin and tonic I paid £29. And expensive and stupid... I do not recommend..

Delicious food, top customer service,Asian lady - PRIYA - Always had welcoming smile on her face,Manger Nick was so accommodating, made our dinner and night out GREAT . Thanks guys for a lovely evening x

Mama Indian fusion was and experience! Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and great staff. A perfect evening. Thank you!

I had chicken tikka masala and lamb shank in there place and this is the best tikka masala ever I had. I will love to come back again. And their service was amazing

Absolutely tasteless food will never go there again. Chicken curry was chicken cubes in a runny sauce no flavour so couldn’t eat it so they knocked it off the bill. Told us they don’t take cards so I had to walk to cash point to pay!! No wonder the place was empty. Staff were arguing in kitchen !! Can’t see them staying open for much longer

What a shame new to area the take away was awful when we collected we did here lots of microwave pings .the food was very hot but no taste how anyone can ruin a basic birani is beyond me. Nam had no flavour and dry the cost was £69 I would not go back ever

Spent £40 on two basic meals - a Madras and tikka korma, both chicken and a couple of breads. The chicken was not fresh and very chewy, the sauces on both were watery and really badly cooked. The Madras is so basic yet it was ruined by a very bitter and over seasoned taste. The best curry I have ever had was from the Rose and Mango in Newmarket, yet Mama was more expensive. Dreadful

Redirected to Yofoodie for payment and menu, but all worked brilliantly. Chose a pick-up time and they handed me the food as soon as I went through the door. Really great variety of rich curries, tasty rice dices and spicy starters. Thanks very much!

Beautiful food and really friendly service, Second visit and will be visiting again.

Awful!!! If I could give it less I would. The food was awful, customer service was horrendous!!!! The woman working locked us in when we said about the food and would not let us out until the police were called who then told her that she should not have locked us in. I was with my 12 year old son who had a panic attack which the woman laughed at!!!! Food took forever to come out we complained to the owner who walked away and never returned. Have been told that I am barred thank goodness.

Disgusting customer service! Even worse food. Rang up very politely to complain and asked for a refund as the food was inedible. Was told it’s not their policy and was then hung up on.. I rang back and was hung up on again.. so angry

Great food. Staff is horrible! They are so rude!

Place really needs a total clean up

Appalling service. Do not trust your evening meal to them. Ordered delivery online at 6.15pm. delivery approx 45 to 60 mins. At 7.15pm (by which time order was supposed to have been delivered) received a call to say they didn't have one of the items we had ordered as it was a new menu. Arranged a replacement and told delivery would be in 10 mins. Called them at 7.45pm, still no delivery. Told would be here very shortly. Called at 8.30pm to be told they still hasn't cooked the order and it would be at least another hour... Wouldn't mind so much but some of the promises were simply impossible (delivery in 10 mins when you cannot get to us from the place in that time, being just one example). Avoid at all costs!

Great food and friendly staff. Never had any bad curries from them. Would recommend to order from here.

Absolutely dreadful!!! If you want to wait 1-2 hours for a delievery!!! Priya sacks staff constantly and blames everyone but herself, the chefs are the only reason people go back her as a host they wouldn’t, also slave labour to her poor children. Floods in kitchen (waste) and they still open and serve food!!! food gets put out by fingers and any unused goes in the next pot for the next customer!!! especially the poppadum dips!!!! No discount only to Priya’s favourites AVOID AVOID AVOID how this place hasnt been shut down by environmental health is beyond me!!!!

Surprisingly, only the second time I’ve been here, enjoyed it the first time, loved it the second time. Greeted by Nick and the lovely Priya, was made to feel very welcome and was well looked after. Will be back again soon

waited for an hour for food only 1 other couple in there food turned up wrong and then waited further 20 mins still no food so walked out disgraceful staff stay away

Fantastic food, very nice staff and service with a smile. We both enjoyed our curries and will be back after lockdown. Thanks stay safe

Once again Newmarket spice didn’t fail to deliver with brilliant food and service! Have been coming here for years and it gets better every time. They go above and beyond to deliver a friendly atmosphere and the food is exceptional

The best take out curry I had recently! Butter chicken curry was our favourite but I personally enjoyed Lamb Vindaloo + Shrimp Korma with coconut rice.

We did Friday take-out. We particularly enjoyed Lamp Vindaloo curry, Shrimp Korma curry, Butter chicken curry, coconut rice and Tandori Chicken wings. REALLY GOOD FOOD!! thanks and we will see you soon! xx Aki

Friendly and great food will definitely visit again and take friends as well.

Sit in and takeaway regularly always top notch service very friendly staff with great atmosphere and great grub

The food and service were excellent. The owners are very friendly .Thank you for a lovely evening .

We are always absolutely thrilled with the quality of the food, the friendly service of the home delivery Team & the value for money. Such high quality, tasty food - thank you fir the outstanding consistency!

Sunday evening supper. Good food and service excellent.New chef didn't disappoint usual Indian fare with interesting special. We will be back soon

By far my most fave Indian restaurant in Ireland and the UK, I always order the chicken korma and garlic naan, beautiful food

Honestly what a mistake ordering from this hell hole. Used to order from here when run by Mr Ali (monzas was busy where mr Ali now chefs) and god knows what dogs run this place now. Picture attached I’m not even sure what it is as ordered 1 sheak kebab, 2x masala, one pila rice and 2 garlic naan...A lady on phone claimed food would be with us in 45 minutes as we are Newmarket. She then called back ‘to check our order’ despite going through it THREE times prior to that. We phoned up after an hour to have an English sounding woman tell us it was on its way. 30 mins later we call AGAIN to be told driver on his way. We try to cancel and told we cannot. We could have a free side next time like really ??? We’re already well over our time. Turns out food was left at door in rush and we realise 40 mins later and greeted with stone cold food. One pila missing and instead strange thing in picture. Convenient how all these 5* reviews are on accounts with no other history. I’m surprised this place hasn’t been shut down by now! Thoroughly disappointed will stick to monza or rose&mango from now on!

I really enjoyed my visit to Newmarket Spice,the food was great, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They made sure my friends and me felt comfortable and we will be back again very soon! Thanks!

Lovely lamb vindaloo I had last night and tender meat friendly staff my new place to go from now on

Came here on Tues 18th August with 4 adults and 1 child. Couldnt believe we were the only customers in the restaurant. Food was great, polite and accommodating staff. Even gave my daughter a couple of lolly sweets as we were leaving. Would recommend their food.

Food is absolutely amazing, the staff and super super good and friendly and have the most amazing recommendations! Can not recommend it enough!!! See you again very soon

Priya (the owner) sorted us out a new lunch item she’s trying out - a pitta wrap with tikka style filling. Not too hot and not too mild. Perfectly filling and brilliant pallet of tastes. I don’t know if and when she’s making it for everyone but I really hope it’s soon because it was lush! I’ve also had evening meals there in the past and they offer a huge range of personalised tastes and lovely inter-personal service. 100% would recommend.

Decent curry. Son had a chicken korma which he enjoyed. Portion size was good. I had a lamb madrass and initially thought the portion size was slightly small but in retrospect, it was probably ok. Keema nan and coconut rice were nice. The food was hot and the service was very friendly. There were plenty of customers as was eat out to help out.I would go back and have been serveral times in the past.Only small points were that our drinks came after the popadoms and I had to ask for a serviette, neither were a big issue to me.Reading the reviews I would suggest eating in rather than a take away perhaps.

Over an hour and a half for take away to be delivered. Food cold. Rice stodgy, curry runny and tasteless, onion bargi rock hard. Spent over £60 and was the worst curry and service ever had. Not one of my kids ate more than a third of it. Usually eat a whole curry and rice each. Even husband and me only managed half of it. Awful, never again. If there was a lower score than 1 star they would have got it.

Been here for the first time today. Had one of their new thai green curries. It was fantastic. So flavoursome. The hostess was brilliant too!

A lady who was in charge is absolutely disgusting horrible service..20 mim been waiting, 25 mim waiting for meal course to come...i will naver come back this restaurant again even for free anyting for me.. Hope this restaurant will closing down soon

The best curry I’ve ever had! So delicious, great portion size and very friendly customer service. Would definitely recommend and go back again for both a take away and eat in. Thank you!

The owner and manager are ace! Brilliant service, brilliant food! Such nice atmosphere and so kind staff! Best takeaway in Newmarket maybe even suffolk

Worst curry we've ever had, first time and last time ordering from here. Took 2 hours to arrive, phone off the hook. Curry just horrible, gloopy, tasteless, you get far better curries off the shelf at Tesco. Bhaji squishy, ordered popadoms and only One in packet. 95% went in bin. Ruined our night.

First of all we were delivered the wrong order. When I called the restaurant to ask if our actual order could be delivered they said they’d call me back, this resulted in me calling back 3 times till someone dropped off the correct order. I ordered two chicken tikka masalas and they were not edible at all, so sugary and made me feel unwell. I rang the restaurant back for a refund, first they offered me new dishes which I said I didn’t want as I’d eaten the naan bread as I was starving I just wanted the money back for the two curries. They were so rude to me on the phone, then the manager asked me to COUNT the chicken pieces left on my plate!!! Still no refund given. Would NEVER go back.

Placed an order via just eat, called after 2hrs to see where it was, I was told it's on its way, called back 1hr later, obviously taken the phone off the hook as I tried to call 30times - still waiting!! Disgusting service, I would avoid! - already paid for, time to try and get my money back

When I think Indian I think vibrant, warm, colour and unfortunately you have not delivered that to me. A korma is suppose to be mild creamy and rich with a mild kick to it and what I received was a tub of yellow off colour looking liquid that just tasted of sugar with weird green patches in it, I've seen horse poo on the local horse walks that looks more appealing than that curry. It was that bad it didnt want to stay down and my stomach still hates it an hour after having it. My food was cold I had the wrong drink delivered and some random thing I didn't even order in my bag. Somosas were somewhat acceptable but the rice had some obscure cinnamon taste to it which over powered it. When the nicest thing on the plate is a popadom you know there is a serious problem I'd reckon it's either down to underskilled chefs or it was microwaved. £20 down the drain. I would highly recommend you to avoid ordering from here and instead try somewhere else like monza's place or a Burger King... yes it's that bad even a Burger King would be better than this.

Chicken ceylon was nice enough, but the chicken dopiaza, mushroom rice and naan bread were all horrible. Onion bahjis missing! Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Wonderful food, full of flavour. Friendly staff

Ate here with a friend on a business trip. Some of the tastiest Indian food I've ever tasted, full of flavour

Went fo a meal on a weekday,was seated for 25 mins before offered a drink,delivery driver was sat at the bar stairing at my wife,,her food arrived first.mine around ten mins later also a dish missing i had to ask for it during the meal the owner was at the bar having an argument on the fone shouting and swearing .Had to wait over 20 mins for the bill as.nobody was around food was nice but was way over charged,would.not recommend

Me and my partner visited on Tuesday food was very nice couldn't fault it manager was polite when serving us.will be sure to visit agian.

My partner and me visited the restaurant this evening, what a lovely place, the lady manager is just lovely, so attentive and welcoming, the waitress was superb, our meal was just lovely, lamb bhuna and keema rice which my partner had was the nicest he has had in a long time, and my lamb curry was so tasty and not too spicy, will definitely be making regular visits to here.!

Excellent food. The nicest Jalfrieze I've ever tasted. Friendly staff great prices. Related unhurried atmosphere. Shall definitely be going back.

Superb meal, extremely tasty one of the best indian take aways been too in a long time, authentic taste very well balanced in spice, highly recommended.

We used to go to this restaurant on a regular basis when Mr Ali owned it but since he has gone we have been here three times and it gets worse and worse, the new lady manager is very rude and the service is dreadful they have lost most of their customers by the looks of it as we was the only people in there. This place is the WORST INDIAN restaurant in Newmarket and is unlikely to survive the next 6 months.

Great food, freindly staff, nice experience

Ordered food at 6pm on new years eve. Food was finally delivered at 9.20pm. Yes I appreciate it was new years eve and it's busy but I think over 3 hours is a bit much. Food arrived cold and greasy. Couldn't eat most of it. Tried ringing but no answer. Rang following day but was offered more food instead of a refund. Spent over £70 for family New Years Eve and it was awful! Will not be ordering again.

Eaten here quite a bit and usually all is good/excellent. Taken two groups here recently and the food is fine, the service is terrible......mainly the after meal service, but ended up having to virtually beg for the bill.

Love this place , good food , good service, good value ,and they deliver !

Couldn’t fault the food and the service here. Very refreshing to see all waiting staff were female, which you don’t often see in Indian restaurants. They are also incredibly friendly, attentive and well informed. The food was also extremely good too.

The stuffed mushrooms starter was the best I have ever had, truly tasty. My main king prawn korma aslo amazing.

Phoned to book a table for four . My name and phone number were taken. When we arrived the so called restaurant was SHUT ! What a ridiculous way to run a business.

Food premier league, very nice , Service league 2. service ok, pleasant but rushed food out a little.

Thankyou so much again priya and team for another amazing takeaway

First visit to Newmarket was made complete by this Restaurant and it’s staff.

Booked a 5.30 table over the phone, told that was fine and they open then. Was left outside a closed restaurant on a Saturday evening in the rain until 17.45 before giving up waiting to be let in and going elsewhere. Will not be returning

We order the food CH tk mossala, Peanut butter chicken, pilaw rice, IT was delicous. I never had before like this. This is the first time. After that food i booked table for my family dinner. I must go newmarket spice and invite my all coleage to visit newmarket spice. As they always give on the house papadam on delivery.

Thanks priya and all the staff for our amazing food! Fab value for money and the best service in town

Warm and welcoming staff, VERY nice food and great prices. Couldn't recommend this restaurant more! :)

Feel guilty writing this review as the staff tried hard and were polite. The booths were snug and comfy and as the place was so empty (Friday night!), the service was efficient. But the toilets were not clean, the carpet was old and sticky and this brings me to the food. Everything such a disappointment. The onion bhajis greasy and bland. The lamb low quality. The Bhuna sauce peppery. Reasonable cost, but I really would not eat here again. Choose one of the others.

Great food, lovely people. Priya and her team are so very welcoming and offer only the best for their customers. They always make us feel welcome and no dish is too much trouble Thank you 😁 Rob and kate great bradley

Can’t fault the food, chefs are great, staff are worked like dogs and priya takes no acceptance for her mistakes whatsoever always some one else’s fault, certain people get certain favours/payments etc. No organisation. Food constantly wrong due to no over seeing. Blaming staff and under paying. Place will be shut before long due to management (or lack of it)

New management very friendly and helpful, new favourite Indian 👌🏼👌🏼

Excellent butter chicken recommend to eat here best in town 👍💕

First time we'd tried the Newmarket Spice under its new ownership and management. We had tried two others in the town on this evening - both not open. Food was good, service was good, prices reasonable. Took takeaway menu. Recommended.

Was a wary of returning here after my first visit there a few months ago but was very pleasantly surprised with the new management! The food was fantastic we had a big selection of dishes and they were all delicious, the service was great with super advice with regards to menu choices and not expensive at all. Definite go back!! Thank you

I have never experienced anything like this before. A day at the races, well looked forward to

seven of us out for an Indian, all of us loved our meals, I chose a hot one, might regret it tomorrow

Not sure where the negativity comes from. Iv been coming here for 30 yrs, it has had its ups and downs... over the years.

After reading earlier reviews we were a bit dubious about eating here. We have now eaten here on two occasions and it is the best and most authentic Indian food we have tasted in a long time. The service is great and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming , nothing is too much trouble for them. We have tried different foods and it has all been served hot and beautifully presented. This has now got to be the best Indian Restaurant in Newmarket at the moment. I’m struggling to understand the previous poor reviews, however this place is definitely worth a try. I believe it is under new ownership so perhaps the previous poor reviews are relating to previous management.

Best food I have ever eaten it was gorgeous

Excellent food great service lovely friendly place to go 😊

It's taken a while to get over the shock of the vile assault by this restaurant on the wonderful Indian cuisine. If you are considering a visit then quite simply don't. Save you money and go elsewhere. This place'catered' for a wedding I was at a couple of weeks ago I've never had such appalling food. The mild hot and medium curry tasted the same, the Dahl looked like slops without any hint of a lentil. The chicken had just been taken out of a freezer so was ice cold. The worst of it was the rice was served in a filthy plastic washing up bowl. health and safety really need to go and investigate.Sadly it did spoil the wedding as guests were ravenous after the food was nearly 2 hours late And then there wasn't enough to go round! Appalling food and service, I shudder to think about the state of the kitchen as my husband threw up everything he ate within 5 minutes. We didn't tell the bride so as not to ruin her evening any further... avoid at all cost.

I usually order from here but this will be the last time I ever go here. The chips were so burnt and just a ball of grease. They're absolutely disgusting. The whole meal was. When the women said to me "I will speak to the manager about the problem" .. turns out she was lying. She was the manager and never rang me back.

After waiting 1½ hours for our starters, which arrived cold, we then waited a further 40 minutes for our mains. During this time a full restaurant slowly emptied with 90% of their customers walking out. The staff were useless, starters were awful, just chucked on the plate. The mains were disgusting and worthy of the bin; and the after effects on our health was that both my partner and myself were ill that night and all the following day. We had stomach pains and were sick. The whole experience was worse than can ever be described and we paid for it. Should have just burnt my money. Would have been more fun. In summary this place needs to be closed down as I went into the kitchen by the bar, to attract somebody in order to pay the bill. It was filthy and absolutely disgusting.
