Odiham Spice in Hart - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We decided to give this restaurant a go after being disappointed with our usual place. The takeaway was superb. Not overly oily, sensible portions and the best bhajis ever.

First time to the Spice and it was little tired but service and food was good, although a little expensive. Good menu selection as well

Such a lovely little spot for good Indian cuisine. Very friendly team, fast service and a very tasty meal. Portions are reasonable, so you can try a couple of dishes in one sitting.

I thought the food was very average. Went as part of a larger party. We were overcharged for the food and only when we argued the toss were we given it back. Probably wouldn't go back.

Went here last night and the food was amazing and probably the best onion bahjis I’ve ever eaten. Restaurant is a bit tired and could do with a tart up but staff were very good.

Eaten here twice now, both really disappointing. Went cold so quickly Chicken was not great. Both times the nann bread was burnt !!

Takeaway tonight but many times eat in. Food hot, made to order, timely and was delicious. Service by manager was faultless. Chef came to say hello and handover food. Would recommend this restaurant instead other local restaurants.

Excellent food, speedy and friendly customer service. Great value for money. Left feeling like our evening had improved following a disappointing start at another establishment. Will definitely return. Great work from all staff.

Had a wonderful New Year’s Eve meal here with my partner. New to the area and happy to have this as our local! We had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Goan Chicken absolutely delicious with great sauce and quite clean too! The Onion Bahjees were incredible - two in one portion but huge and crispy. Great Aloo Gobi, Poppadoms and Peshwari Naans too! Simple set up inside but you feel so welcome by the team there, they’re very friendly and brilliant to reserve a table with. Thanks for a great meal! We will see you often!

Had a set dinner for a group of us. Food was very good in terms of quality and quantity. Cobra beers. Fast service, made us feel welcome.

Sadly not the best Indian I have had, thought it was quite bland and lacking in spice and flavour. Sad as we are local but don't think we'd be back. Also thought it was quite expensive, 2 starters, 2 currys, 2 rice (1of which was included with curry), poppadoms, naan and 2 small Cobras and it was just over £70

Not too sure why or how Odiham Spice has such good reviews when it was one of the most average curries I have had. Having dined at most Indian restaurants around the area, this one rates low. There is no ambiance, the food is average. The staff aren’t very attentative and it wasn’t that enjoyable.

We met our son and partner for a meal and all enjoyed the food. I was disappointed the only fish dishes were seafood but enjoyed my lamb curry. The service was efficient but I feel the room could do with redecorating and the noisy kitchen door oiled.

Came across this place by chance when visiting the area and looking for somewhere to eat, and it didn't disappoint! Despite being a busy Fri eve, they managed to accommodate us with a table and we certainly didn't feel rushed. Great veggie options with lots of flavour. Extremely friendly service. Good value for money. Would definitely return!

The food was good, however if you go in a large group and are paying separately, make sure you check the prices yourself. I only checked when I got home and realised they had substantially overcharged most people in our group.

Really good food and service. The request for an off the menu starter was no problem for their staff. A busy place, With lots of take away orders. Our group of five who try to get together every 6-8 weeks and visit curry houses, were impressed. It is on our return to list in the future.

Nice simple no-frills Indian restaurant, they accommodated a group of us at very short notice and late in the evening. The menu was suspiciously large but the food turned out to be excellent. We were put under some pressure to order quickly before the chef went home, but this was understandable.

Food looked alright, but sauce was Watery so didn't taste amazing compared to other restaurants. Which is a shame 🙁

Visited recently in December as recommended by a pal. Excellent food; Great service; decided to visit again this time for a takeaway and they exceeded expectations. Local to Hook so will Definitely will visit again

First time we’ve been but recommended by friends. Lovely surroundings, delicious food and friendly staff. Will definitely go back

Delicious curry with my best mate. Phillip Schofield in the corner trying to order scampi and chips. It's a curry house, Phil!!

The Odiham Spice is my favourite Indian Restaurant. I visited on Saturday evening and was greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered my favourite meal, which was Chicken Dhansak with rice... it was delicious as always!

Call yourself an Indian restaurant I have been eating Indian food 20 years plus this is the worst I have ever had in my entire life. Avoid this place if you can

Can't beat Abu's food. Great staff many happy memories of this top restaurant

Lovely small friendly place. Food is amazing

Family celebration and we have used this venue for many years. It never disappoints.

First time tonight, very delicious and great price for the area. Will definitely be returning.

I visited the Odiham Spice in May with a friend for a curry. It was ok, but being a curry lover, I would not rave about it - or complain about it. If you like curry, you may like it, but being a curry lover I prefer more traditional authentic curry - so probably would not return.

After being treated so rudely by our local, Hook Tandoori, we decided it was time to find a new Indian takeaway, so tried Odiham Spice...and so glad we did! £16 cheaper then the overpriced Hook Tandoori with polite staff, unlike Hook Tandoori and the most important, delicious food! From now on we will get all our takeaway's from Odiham Spice, as worth the drive from Hook.

Very presentable food, but in all honestly, if you’re a spice lover, it doesn’t tick the box. Flavours were plain in the curries without any real kick and some of the food like the Sag Aloo tasted re-heated. It was nevertheless, a pleasant meal with nice Kingfisher bottled beer and the Poppadoms were outstanding

Starter was very nice. Main course curry’s we’re nicely flavoured. Lamb was hit and miss with some tough and some tender pieces. Chicken appeared to taste pre-cooked rather than cooked with the curry. Biggest disappointment was the rice which tasted like it was reheated from the day before. Both the pilau and plain boiled seemed to taste not fresh. Also, soft drinks very overpriced. £3.50 for a glass of coke poured from a plastic bottle, and flat.

Islam made us feel welcome and was prompt to take our order. The staff are always very welcoming and it feels like you're dining in their home. The food is fantastic, definitely try one of their specialties. I went for lamb passanda and it was delicious. The decor is a little tired and toilets are basic, but that's easily forgiven for the quality of the food and service. A firm favourite with my friends and colleagues, we will be back again soon!

We ordered Vegetarian food and its freshly prepared. Service is fast, and good staff.

Food was bland, absolutely no flavour whatsoever to the dishes we had. if you are a fan of your usual creamy chicken korma then please do not order it from here as it is definitely not as you'd expect. I would also like to point out that the customer service we received was terrible from the moment we didn't order no alcoholic drinks. Would rather travel 10 minutes down the road to Monsoon.

I have been here several times but this time felt a bit disappointed. My friend said she was greeted rather abruptly when she arrived even though we had booked a table. Our table was near the window and the bright lights showed up the faded seating which looked like it could do with a clean. The food was good and the waiter friendly but almost too solicitous. As the restaurant wasn't busy he kept coming to our table and standing there interrupting our conversation to ask us questions and engage in small talk which felt a bit unnerving after the fifth or sixth time. There was a limited choice of dessert and all in all we were quite relieved to pay the bill and leave.

Lovely fresh tasty Indian food. A must to visit if you wnat a good Indian meal in this area. Lovely fresh Orka dish that complimented my main meal to. Great place to stumble on.

We had an excellent meal and the service was great. We had the window seat, quick service and the medium spice chicken tikka masala was the best! This place is a must visit while you are in beautiful Odiham 😍

This lovely little Indian could be easily missed - it really is little. However the flavours are big and we had a delicious meal.

E bine un staff foarte bun eu sunt mulțumit

Now this is a difficult review to write. As I booked my table in advance. For 9pm in evening. I turned up and they didn't have any record of my booking. But said they could at I'll fit me in but we had to be out by 10 as that's when they closed. Where as the website says they close at 11.30 on a friday night. So this made the whole experience feel rushed and ruined it for me. But the food was great. Nice and fresh and the Naan breads were by far the best I've ever had. So light and tasty. Once we had finished and were leaving the waiter informed me that I had been booked in just on a different night. Its difficult to enjoy a meal when you are being rushed.

The food was superb. The service was friendly and attentive but without being overbearing. The setting was lovely. As well as the classics there are some welcome oddities on the menu and the chef's take on bindi bhaji was very different from normal, even tempting an okra sceptic into eating some.

I have come to Odiham spice many times since I moved here a few years ago and they never disappoint. Went in May and the food was lovely, service was very good and very reasonable priced. Only criticism is there was no decaf coffee but...

We had a lovely meal tonight. Very welcoming and the food was fantastic. So nice to get back to restaurants after lockdown and great to support our local curryhouse.

Lovely restaurant with delicious food, very friendly owner. Very cosy and great value. Definitely coming again

Lovely restaurant, delicious food, very friendly owner. Cosy and great value.

I posted a review back in 2018 after our first visit. Since then we've returned on a number of occasions and, during the various COVID restrictions, used them for takeaway fairly regularly (certainly whenever we've wanted a curry!). Even at the height of the COVID...

Nice food. Clean. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Nice size. Beer good price. Good to see a proper ale in an Indian 🍺 🍻. Food overpriced.

Up with the best food I’ve had at an Indian restaurant. Both standard and more unusual dishes were very good. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

It was the first time we visited this restaurant. It will not be the last. it was difficult to choose from the huge range of dishes on the menu. we were not disappointed with our choices. it was freshly cooked food, beautifully spiced and well presented. Definitely a lace to revisit.

We had never been here before but the reviews looked good. and so they should have been. The food was amazing - tasty, well-presented and good portions. the staff were friendly and polite. It was a really good food experience which we will happily repeat.

Simply the best Indian food I've eaten. So different from the slop served by most Basingstoke restaurants. Highly recommend

Ordered our take away here tonight at the last minute - have to say right decision! The vegetarian food was fantastic - veggie korma, sag paneer, mixed veg tikka massala - perfect. The prawn madras was really tasty and hot! Fast turn around, excellent service...

I can honestly say that this is the best Indian restaurant we have ever been too!! The food is out of this world and a much more diverse menu than all the others...manager is so friendly...we live in Basingstoke but will always travel here to...

Gone off meat disguised with lots of salt

Ordered a paneer tikka and other vegetarian dishes and had the best indian food i've had for a long time. I can't understand the bad reviews- presumably there is a new chef. The service was very good too and the manager was very friendly. Also,...

This was the worst and most over priced Indian takeaway me and my family have ever had! It was my mums birthday and we were treating her however this was far from a treat. Only way to describe the food is absolutely disgusting and ridiculously...

Had a takeaway here. Looked on trip advisor first so picked this one for the area we were in.. A bit disappointed with my vinadloo would not describe it as very hot which I asked for.. Very runny as well no depth to it.. Kemma...

Due to the lack of close choices I have persisted with odiham spice but after being overcharged for the fourth time and the hit and miss food I decided to travel that little be further.

We eat in and take way from Odiham Spice as a couple and with friends. The food is constantly good and the service really friendly. The manager insisted I have a beer on him when I picked up my take away in late December because...

We have been coming here, off an on, since the place opened twenty odd years ago. Chicken Tikka and Lamb pieces as a starter and plates of chicken,lamb and veggie curry with rice and nan.All neatly presented and tasty. Accompanied by a large bottle of...

A fantastic meal! The host is just gorgeous - lovely, hospitable, generous and appreciative!

Really good food but quite expensive

All about the food. Really lovely. Best cooked tikka I've tasted.

The food is always amazing in odiham spice, my go too curry place! Reasonably priced, quick service, staff are friendly. Shame about a very rude customer being rude to a waiter.

Really nice food and service, excellent value for money. Coming every week. The ambient is cosy and food selection very nice.

Lovely food and great service and aroma's - will come back again and highly recommend to other visiting Odiham

Enjoyed my curry, wait was a little long but ok in the end. will get here again. Food was warm and enjoyable

We love this restaurant. Every meal, eat in or take away, is a winner. A hidden gem. Service great food excellent, definitely recommend it.

Arrived just before 8pm and the restaurant was full. Always a good sign.Food was excellent and arrived at a good speed.Service was good, except one guy serving couldn’t seem to speak or understand English. He seemed to be Eastern European. This made things at times tricky!However, would definitely return and highly recommend.

Great service great food I flippin love it

A small restaurant, also offering takeaway. The poppadums were very generous and the curry was very tasty. We had a nice evening with friends and I would definitely come back.

Easy to park outside, Kingfisher in a large bottle and the food is amazing! I would visit here again

Good service, and enjoyable curry. Just what the high street needs. Will return and recommend to my pals.

We popped in for dinner yesterday night whilst staying nearby in Hook. It was Monday night so fairly quiet but a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant decor.

Food nice, facility terrible...would not encourage me to go back

Excellent food. Quick service and the staff were very friendly

Have been here a few times, and always consistently good. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable for the area. Portions are just right, and are tasty. Can't ask for more. Only thing is that the restaurant is small, so book ahead if you can.

Not sure what is going on in here at the moment!

One of my favourite places for Indian Food. Lovely cosy place with very friendly staff who always make you feel welcome.

Got a takeaway and the food was really nice but cold. We had to heat everything up again. And we had collect early too.

Lovely place to eat in Odiham, super friendly staff always happy to recommend something new for you to try. Love this place!

Had the most fantastic meal, the service was fast, the food excellent and hot. Not greasy at all and packed full of flavour. Have recommended this place to all my friends and family. 1st rate curry house....

Always have had lovely tasty meals in the 20+ years we have eaten there. Friendly staff are always looking after us.....

Very small restaurant in odiham, the food and service were excellent. Prices are reasonable for the area too.

Food was unbelievable, fab, fab fab

Our favourite Indian restaurant, that we'd used for 20+ years, recently closed, so we were looking for a new location and Odiham Spice was close and got good reviews.

Surprised by all the rave reviews. First time, both me and my partner had slightly upset stomachs the next day. We braved it a 2nd time and found the food very bland and the service indifferent. I live in the village, support my community and wanted this to be a good meal out, but I really can't recommend it.

The four of us love our curries and visited this restaurant asked on reviews while visiting the area. Staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Starters were excellent and we had a selection of curries for mains which were very tasty and contained quality chicken as prawns. Highly recommend

Went here a couple of weeks back. Quaint restaurant in town. Needs some tlc in decoration and that’s why it is not a 5 from me, but we came for the food and were not disappointed. Had a sharer starter and a main each and that was more than enough! I had a chicken dopiaza and it was very tasty. Great service and reasonably priced. Would return if in the area again.

Went here on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The starter for 2 was perfect. The mains.... not at all greasy. The madras was spicy to perfection. We will be back!

Main man knows what he`s talking about re ingredients and matching foods. Good value and tasty, small building with not alot of seats however well worth a visit, Much better than some more local Indian restaurants to us

Placed in the high street of a nice small village. The actual building is old and would need refurbishing. Hygiene levels probably not the best. However the food is delicious. The menu presents a wide choice of dishes. I tried a regional dish based on tamarind which was absolutely scrumptious. My daughter (9 years old) loved her chicken Korma.

We chose this restaurant as Odiham was a good halfway location for our family celebration and everyone loves Indian cuisine. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and superb quality. The service was very friendly as well. Everyone enjoyed it and we had a nice walk around the town afterwards on a warm summer's afternoon. Would definitely recommend.

Last minute curry. We've eaten in & got take away. Food is nice, arguably portion sizes are on the small side compared to other similar restaurants. If eating in, avoid sitting near the door as it's cold.

Not much I can say about the food, got a takeaway tonight . Got home and discovered my order was completely wrong. Annoying as it wasn't cheep, staff where rude more to the point what if I had an allergy

Food was excellent. Fast and friendly staff..small place though.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch and turned out to be only ones dining that day. Obviously very attentive service and food all delivered in perfectly good time and piping hot. I had read the reviews and to be honest was not sure what to expect, mainly good but with some average to poor so I was delighted to experience a really delightful meal. There were 7 of us and with the exception of one main we all had a different starter main and side, so had a real cross section of the menu and everyone was really pleased with their choice and there was a lot of testing each other’s for future reference. Loved them all! We will return as everyone had a great meal and it was so relaxed.

My husband and I were visiting Odiham for two weeks, and we ate at Odiham Spice about five times because we loved it so much. We're vegetarians, and the restaurant has lots of veggie options. The naan is some of the best I've had, and we loved the veggie curry and the Tarka Dahl. The staff is very prompt and the owner is so friendly and helpful. :) Highly recommended.

This little curry house in the heart of Odiham has always served up a superb curry, always so tasty. My few small nit pics would be slow service wether it's busy or dead and it's a bit pricy!

Are neighbours are regulars at this small restauraunt and last night they invited us along. We had a cozy table by the window. The menu offered quite a few dishes that I had not seen before and I love to try new things (in this respect too many other restauraunts are lazy in not trying to expand our knowledge of different dishes). That said, I love chicken Tikka and I was very impressed by the flavours in the tender and moist chicken. Delicious. My main was equally delicious. Service was faultless, and the staff and owner were very friendly... delightful in fact. We had a great evening and will be back at this restauraunt before too long.
