Nishat Spice Tandoori in Scarborough

Ordered a takeaway online. It was ready on time and was absolutely delicious. We like our curries and this certainly ranked up there. Next time we visit Scarborough, we'll be booking to dine in.

This is the third time of visiting this lovely restaurant. This time we booked because we didn’t want to miss out. The food is exceptional. You can bring your own alcohol. However we always have the non alcoholic drinks which are reasonably priced. The naan breads are amazing. This is our go to restaurant when we visit Scarborough. We don’t want to try any other Indian restaurant because I am sure we would be disappointed in not visiting here. The chef came out whilst we were eating to see how we were enjoying our meals. This was a really nice touch. Please support this place by visiting the next time you are in Scarborough.

An unpretentious restaurant with good friendly staff and fantastic food. Sadly for us we are on holiday but would love for this to be our local restaurant. Never crowded but always busy with take away orders. We have enjoyed some of the very best Indian food available anywhere. I can’t believe there is better in Scarborough.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meal, we ordered an onion bhaji starter and a chicken madras main and they were both delicious however, some of the staff were very loud and were shouting across the very small restaurant to eachother. They also have the ordering machines and phone out in the front which can be quite irritating as the notification alerts are very loud. There were 4 workers (2 men,2 kids) and the older more experienced workers were shouting across the restaurant at the younger workers who weren't setting tables how the men liked it, which wasn't very nice to see. The food was nice and I would consider returning if some of these problems are addressed

This is one one the best currys I've ever had. Will definitely be voting back

Delivery man knocked on window. Hardly spoke. Food not as good as usual. Cold things weve had before like bhaji totally different. Has it changed hands. Just not as good food

Great, tasty food, just need to ask for a bit more spice next time, but the flavour was delicious.

Food was absolutely lovely from here delivery time was spot on too so we will definitely be ordering from here again when we are scarborough.

Incredible food. I recommend the munch box. The staff are very pleasant too. Definitely eating here again. Two young men called Lewis and Isaaq stood out as their manors were great and welcoming.

Isaaq served us and was a very friendly young man . Very well mannered. Lewis was speaking to us also incredible service from here all around Food was exquisite. What else can I say. Absolutely perfect will be returning very soon.

Ordered half tandoori chicken, kulcha naan for a light supper. Chicken was hot, moist and full of flavour, the naan was soft and tasty, and with the salad and mint sauce, made a perfect meal. Delivery was speedy. Thank you.

Afraid to say I didn't enjoy my meal. Pakora was soggy. Rice was cold and I didn't like the chicken madras. I was expecting meal to be great after reading the other reviews. Suffice to say I won't be back.

Excellent food, some issues with delivery but was still warm despite being late.

By far one of the better curry houses in Scarborough but now starting to also be the most expensive. Prices pushed up considerably to give you 20% off anything over £20 but still comes to £37 for two meals. Nice food, but value for money is on par with some London outlets so I'll unfortunately be shopping around from now on.

Very bland chicken korma and chicken tikka masala. Would not recommend

Can’t fault would definitely recommend

Chicken was fatty this time , I love your food normally but your meals are really highly priced , I’d order alot more if it wasn’t so expensive

Went for a meal at Nishat, booked a table here as other Indian restaurants in the area were all full at the time. Not sure if it's Indian or Bengali. The restaurant itself is quite cold, it doesn't feel like it's heated. We ordered poppadoms and pickle tray, mixed kebab, nawabi Khana curry for main with pilau rice and cheesy naan. The poppadoms tasted quite oily and only magno chutney and mint sauce on the pickle tray. The mixed kebab was ok, the bhajis tasted quite oily. The chicken tikka was really nice and probably the best thing. The seekh didn't have much flavour at all. The nawabi Khana curry is supposed to be one of the tastiest curries cooked with 21 different ingredients, this particular one lacked flavour and taste and was very oily. The green chillies were too overpowering. The pilau rice was ok but the naan was dry and didn't have much flavour. Sadly the Service service was not the best either.

Food was delicious and delivery was very prompt. Thankyou.

Food tasted great but unfortunately I had what looked like cat hairs all in my Naan 🤢 put me off instantly

Onion Bhajis had no flavour. That’s got to be difficult to achieve. Also a madras that was probably 20% oil, had to throw it away.

This has to be the best Indian in the area. Fresh, tasty and you’ll find that when you order more than 1 dish, it’s not made from the same base sauce, which is an absolute pet hate of mine and very common with other local indian restaurants/take aways

The best Indian in Scarborough

Can’t fault it would definitely recommend

The man turned up early which was great how ever the food we ordered we was wondering weather they had run out off prawns and chicken as they was two little bits on each dish bill was 44 quid and not much to show for it 😩

Best in scarborough for curry! Great service

Lovely curries, and nicest peshwari naan we’ve had! Delivery time selected as ASAP, and it came even earlier than the predicted time from Just Eat- bonus. Food was piping hot, and delivery driver very friendly. Would definitely order from here again next time we’re on holiday in the area.

Great chicken madras and tasty chips

We’re from Birmingham so no shortage of great Indian restaurants, but this was right up there with the best. We are stopping over in our campervan in Scarborough but by 6pm there was virtually nothing open along the front if you didn’t want fish and chips. We decided to order a take away to our van which can often be a tricky affair, but a few WhatsApp messages later and we had our lovely food arrive…no hassles! Thanks very much!

Food arrive stone cold , we ordered a tandoori chicken masala but received a chicken tikka masala? The chicken korma tasted like water

really didn't enjoy the taste of the food

Over 40 minutes late, no contact after requesting an update. Food all completely stone cold and disgusting. Curry was like tasteless watery slop, was sent plain boiled rice instead of the Pilau I ordered, naan bread cold and soggy, chicken pakora cold soggy and obviously about 2 hours old. They even chucked the salad loose into a plastic bag and tied a knot. Obviously near closing time so the chefs couldn’t be bothered. This was by far the worst Indian takeaway experience I’ve ever had and I have requested a full refund. Straight in the bin, really disgraceful for £25!!

Very tasty food delivered quickly and very hot. Would order from here again

A shame the driver didn’t find the address and the food wasn’t that hot! We even sent the location using ‘What Three Words’. Strangely we also received extras that were not ordered. Can’t fault the quality of the food though.

Delivered 2 hours early but Benifitted me

Food not arrived I want a refund

Solid curry, tender lamb. Not gonna set anyone's world on fire but very pleased with what it achieved for me, 8/10

Delicious food but if eating in not well heated and we needed to keep our hats and coats on to keep warm. To be fair it was very early evening but I think if they aim to be a restaurant as well as a takeaway they should appreciate the fact that their premises should be made warm from opening time.

They didn't quite get the order right

This is the third time a part of the order was missing, this time no poppadoms!!! Will b

With a delivery time that was 45 minutes later than the latest estimated delivery time, and 1 hour 5 minutes later than the earliest estimated delivery time, and no contact to say that there would be a delay, this wasn’t acceptable. The food was tasty, but not very warm and what should have been a lovely meal was disappointing.

Our neighbours stole our order and the restaurant was absolutely amazing - they made us a fresh order and were very apologetic. Remains my favourite Indian restaurant - especially the Am Nehri, something I'd never had before finding this place and I'm now addicted. I'd definitely recommend

Disappointed tonight not usual standard, very greasy and mushy felt like it had been reheated. Always been good up to now 😌

Really great food, lovely delivery guy ❤️

lovely food and quick friendly delivery

Forgot the popadoms which spoilt an otherwise good meal...

Great food and service even with us being a distance from the restaurant. Highly recommend.

Can’t fault it would definitely recommend

Really tasty food delivered early by a friendly driver thank you

Spot on would definitely recommend

I always find the staff polite and helpful here. The food is delicious and they have a 5 star food hygiene rating.

weve been eating at nishat for years ,tried all the others but always return to our favourite.had a takeaway . of chicken tandoori .veg rice , and madras sauce .. it was exceptional . and large portions .. lovely food , lovely staff .

Bland Taste for a Rogan Josh

Having eaten there before, ate there after a day at Yorks v Surrey, on way back to the station. Last time curries were very good, this time excellent again. Would strongly recommend. NB unlicensed, but can bring own alcohol in, the nearby 'Onestop' sells Cobra in cans. UPDATE Sept 2023, cricket again, curry lovely, but Onestop didn't have Cobra in :-(

The food was tasty. However the Saag Panear had NO Panear cheese in but had been made with normal cottage cheese and cheddar. A bit rubbish

Spot on would definitely recommend

Placed order on website for 7pm delivery. My son rang me from home to say it had been delivered at 6.35pm. When I contacted them and explained I was not home, they started making excuses about containers will keep food warm. Would be interested to know what they would have done if my son was not home. Food was lukewarm. Will not be ordering again.

Nice Indian restaurant on the edge of the town centre. Pleasant decor, friendly staff and the food was tasty, hot, flavoursome and nicely presented. I would recommend a visit to this restaurant if you want decent Indian food 🍲🍛.

First time ordering and wasn’t disappointed, food was lovely. Nice and hot 10/10

Lovely food and excellent service, enjoyed it all and would order again.

Food was average, was tasty but a little bland. Not as nice as other takeaways. Food was very greasy and portion sizes were very disappointing especially for the prices they were charging. Plenty of meat through.

You can take your own alcohol and eat in or have a takeaway. The food is always freshly cooked, hot and very tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food as always. Thank you

The food is consistently good, and our meal tonight didn’t disappoint 😁

Great service, takeaway arrived on time, piping hot and very tasty. Would recommend.

The currys were very nice. The staff when I called to ask about allergies and ingredients were lovely. The breads were also lovely. Unfortunately the fried items were not very nice, I understand it can’t be perfect every time. The main problem was the delivery driver, who was rude, lied about the time he was waiting, was impatient and has no interpersonal skills. I would recommend the restaurant but not for home delivery.

Delicious food and prompt delivery. I've never had a bad order from this restaurant, and it's the only Indian in Scarborough that I order from these days.

Would definitely recommend great food and service

Tasteless. Soggy bread . No flavour. Dry chicken. Mint sauce was Horrid thick and strange. Curry was bland. Not a nice word to say about the food. Staff were nice though

Very nice food. Good portions & resturant quality.

Really delicious, moist chicken and beautiful naan too

Great currys here and you can bring your own beers. Loved it

I highly recommend this restaurant. I've just received a delicious delivery from them, through 'uber eats'.! It wasn't swimming in oil; it was so fresh! Big chunks of lamb. Even the meat samosa was full of flavour. If there was one thing I'd like to be better, it would be the mint sauce. The delivery guy was so smiley & friendly too. Try Nishat for yourselves

That was bangin. Nishat Spice never fails to disappoint, thankyou so much. That pishwari naan, and the lemon rice with that fish masala dayummm

Absolutely spot on would definitely recommend

I had Rogan Josh, I've eaten a good few curries in my lifetime and this was by far the best I've ever had, so so tasty. Thankyou

Deeelicious definitely recommend

Fantastic Indian restaurant, great food, great staff and above all great food. Gem of a place

Dishes were delicious, we have recently moved to area & someone recommended your restaurant, not disappointed 👍🏻

Perfect! Our first time ordering through JustEat with an allergy and the restaurant were excellent dealing with this with no problems. Highly recommend

Great food at a good price. The special biryani was my favorite

Absolutely delicious. Rezala was really tasty.

All nice, friendly and on time.

Lovely food and the coconut rice was gorgeous.

Absolutely spot on would recommend

Recently visited Nishat Spice and we were not disappointed, always consistently delicious food. All our chosen dishes were well presented, quality ingredients and very flavoursome, exactly as described on the menu. Staff are efficient and polite and we always enjoy our visits to this restaurant - would recommend you give it a try too, and don’t forget to bring your own alcohol!!

Best Indian food I've had in scarborough.

Excellent service, excellent food, will use them again when out this way

We moved to Scarborough at the end of 2021. We did the rounds and this is the one we keep coming back to. It's probably more of a take out/delivery but the tables are good and the service friendly. Really tasty, flavourful and (fabulously and unlike most local others) a bit of a chilli kick on a medium dish. Remember to bring your own alcohol but you wont be disappointed with the food you are served.

Lovely food and still hot on arrival. They do the best lamb razala in town

Absolutely awful. The man taking orders had a constant cough, he didn’t wash his hands at all. I ordered fish curry I’ve seen more fish on a fish finger than there was in the dish, in fact it was mainly skin. Would not go again

Worst currie I've ever had Man behind the counter kept sneezing Takeaway orders more important than people in the restaurant Toilets not clean

Hot food, lovely pickle tray, and very nice tasty mains. Delicious 😋

perfect food, quick delivery very impressed

Lovely guy who dropped off my food, smiley and very friendly 😊

Food was nice and hot,really tasty and great quality.

Lovely food, arrived on time and hot! I would definitely order again. Only downside was there being no spicy sauce in the pickle tray

Never a bad word to say about these guys, food is always brilliant

food was tasteless for over 40 quid I'd expect the food to have some sort of taste

Just had a take out it was absolutely amazing the best we have had we will be back thank you
