Spice in West Berkshire

Nice place. The good a little bland. I live in Asia so I expect the food to be more authentic. However, I did not share my preference for a spicier, more spices, not just chili hot. What we did have was enjoyable bearing this in mind. Staff were friendly and service prompt and the food was good. I will go again.

Amazing food as always, big order for the whole family and all turned up on time and very yummy. Thank you

exceptional service and quality

This was a birthday treat, and that is what it was. The welcome was warm and friendly and this continued throughout. The restaurant was smart and clean and very comfortable. The food was fantastic and backed up with brilliant service. We will back. Well done.

First time I have purchased a takeaway from here and I have to say I was not disappointed. Samosa were nice and meaty, onion bhaji had a nice crispy outer and nice and moist in the middle, other half rated them as 10/10. He had the chicken tikka masala which looked very red but was delicious and I had the lamb jalfrezi, nice hit of green chilli but too hot for him. Good value and really tasty, staff polite and friendly. Thank you Spice

Just eaten here tonight, staff vertly attentive and welcoming. Food was also excellent and very reasonable priced. Thank you

Fabulous food, a relaxing modern British-Asian ambiance, friendly staff and very good prices. The best curry house for miles.

Excellent food, always hot and delivered quickly would highly recommend

Delicious food, lots of choice and great service!

Great restaurant but booking is a bit of a pain

Amazing as always! Tried the spice special and it was really flavourful with being to spicy hot! Thank you again

Had a lovely meal but music a bit to loud and draughty by the front door being wedged open. Cannot fault food and service.

Always a warm welcome, great service and lovely food!

Amazing hot food as always! Ordered a couple of times and happy every time thank you

Delivery was about 25 min later than expected, driver apologiesed for the wait and said it was very busy, the curry was lovely though, best we have had in a while! Thank you

Had not ordered from here before, but choices were limited on a Monday night, but I was not disappointed. Easily ordered online at their website, then got a discount for collecting the meal. Was still hot by the time I got home, and all I can say is FANTASTIC! Great tasting food! Really the best I've had in the area. We had Rogon and I tried a new dish, both were excellent. Getting flavoured naan bread can be hit or miss a lot of the time, but the peshwari naan was brilliant, so tasty. The best food we have had in a long time and this will be where I go from now on! Also friendly, speedy service!!

Came to collect a takeaway this evening and it’s was super busy highly recommend!!!

Spice has been my local Indian restaurant for many years. Since being taken over it has lost its authentic feel. Although the food is still exceptional, the service seems very commercial and lacks the friendly, family orientated experience. Not too sure I will return.

usually very nice curry house but very disappointed to find half my order missing and replaced with items that I never ordered, will not order online from here again!

Utterly disappointed with the customer service I received this evening, from ordering the food on the phone for it to be delivered, one meal was completely wrong, rang them and they told me it would be re sent out, after waiting over 40 minutes it turned up just the korma resent out, the rice and naan bread that went with the meal was freezing cold, I rang them back and they were rude, the person on the phone told me the whole meal that was wrong would of been replaced, i asked for a full refund but the manager would only offer me half the refund back, to which I had to go to the restaurant to get back….., absolutely ruined my valentines meal and I won’t be coming back here again!

THIS IS NOT AN INDIAN RESTAURANT!!! The food was absolutely terrible, the service matched. The Lamb Karahi was the worst. The lamb had not been seared thus leaving it grey looking and the sauce was something that you would expect from a Green King pub. Samosa's were cooked from frozen but charged as if they were fresh. The chutney's provided were double the advertised cost. If you want a real authentic and tasty restaurant, go to House of Flavours in Reading Town Centre, now that's proper food!

Just had a take away, my usual , Chicken Madras , mushroom rice.distinct Sunday roast veg taste, can put my finger on it . Not the best !!!! Not sure ....

Very good, thank you. I was slightly surprised to taste what seemed like cinnamon in the saag aloo??. Fine for me, but some people may be less keen.

100% recommend.. food is lovely. Hot and well presented. I have no faults at all. Lovely staff always smiling and friendly. I have sat in and also had the collection take away. Each time has been brilliant 🤩 well done spice 😊

Really good food. Never any complaints. Worth the money

I’ve been going to this place for quite a few years now and it never fails to impress. Brilliant food, excellent staff and overall great dining experience.

Great food, staff are lovely. Definitely recommend.

Haven’t been before so thought we’d all try a new restarrror across the road from the pub. We all decided to have curry as we love spicy food. We had rice and curry with quite thick pancake bread which was very nice. The man gave us absolutely massive white crisps which we saw other people eating with chopped onion and mint yogurt before the food came. The girls had 5 pints of lager each and a leekyour after the meal. All in all the bill was very very reasonable. Very reasonable. Would go there again. We had a right laugh.

Waited over an hour for delivery, app said item delivered,phoned restaurant to query said it was on the way would be 10 mins, 20 mins later food arrived stone cold, curry pot was less than half filled, 3 buts of chicken, save your money don't bother, gonna make a sandwich

I have frequented the establishment on several occasions, consistently experiencing excellent meals accompanied by exemplary service. It is, in my opinion, the finest Indian restaurant in the area.

I loved the food when I came here in Early 2022! It’s like Hampshire even though its Berkshire. I will leave a 5 star review shortly.

We visited spice on a Friday night, we hadn’t booked but managed to get a table, it had a great atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff were very attentive. The food was delicious! We will be returning again soon!

Played hunt the chicken , in one pot there was 5 small pieces and the other only 4 , the rest of the pot was filled with sauce, the popadom was smashed to bits , it was a shame as the curry had a good flavour, haven’t used for a while , thought we’d try again, but won’t buy again

Came here asking for a table of 2. The place is packed! I’ve never seen an Indian restaurant so busy. The atmosphere is very lively and the staff are rushed off their feet but still very polite, nothing is ever too much and was very quick considering the restaurant was full and the line up for takeway was blocking the entrance. The food was by far the best Indian food I have had in a long time.

Please can you tell me why my 5 stars discount wasn’t applied to my order, now only showing one star earned ?

It was late, forgot to put egg fried rice in but eventually delivered it

Honestly the best curry I’ve ever had! service was immaculate, amazing, caring staff and the food was insane! drove half an hour to get to the restaurant and was incredible. The food tastes so fresh and like it’s made with love, everything from the taste to the presentation cannot be faulted. have recommended to all family and friends and will be back very soon 10000/10!!!

Great food, repeat order and arrived super hot.. great size portion and would highly recommend

Late delivery, depending on which part of the estimate you would start at 30 - 50 minutes late. Most the dood was very oily and lukewarm, the meat was dry and the starter container was open on arrival and was stone cold. I'll think I'll skip this restaurant in future.

Placed order and received nothing. Rang up said will be 10mins. 45mins later I ended up going their to get my food which they forgot to print off which they apologised and added bits on to the order. when I got home started eating it was absolutely lovely to point I wanted more when I was finished. Delivery 0/10 food 11/10

Nobody else there at lunchtime but food was delicious 😋

Lovely food. Nice and hot. Arrived earlier than expected, which was great cos I was starving!

Amazing food, mushroom rice has so much flavour so did our curries! Thank you for such a fab takeaway, super hot, fast delivery and great food

Amazing food, quick delivery, piping hot and good portion size! Definitely ordering again from this place

another excellent meal from here

Just had a lovely meal here, the food was delicious and the staff were great, highly recomend coming hear for a cuzza!

Easy to order, cheap delivery price. Food was lovely.

Friendly staff, great food and value for money

Good service, lovely food, and despite a slight language barrier they were attentive and happy to please

Absolutely love the place and the food, the people are very nice, and I will definitely come again.

Very happy with the quality of the food and was delivered on time.

Great meal and service was spot on.

Lovely food, delivered on time. Thank you!

First time having a take away with the new owners. All I can say is that this is the best indian I have had in absolute ages. Tasty & plentiful. 10/10 Spice. Keep doing what you are doing because it is superb!!

Second order and both as tasty

As always, fabulous food and service. I have been ordering food from Spice for 23 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Delivered late and was missing a Naan bread!

Great service, lovely atmosphere and lovely staff.

Me and my fiancée visit spice regularly and always have such a lovely experience. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is always amazing and nicer each time we return. The team made my partners birthday special and even added a personal touch of playing our song. Visit as much as we can and never have anything but compliments for the chefs and the team at spice. Thank you again.

Charged extra when the order arrived. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but the food was absolutely terrible! I don't know why this restaurant has so many 5 star reviews, because the service and food was rubbish! Very disappointed. The worst indian food we have ever tasted. I would give this minus 5 stars if I could.

Great food, arrived hot and was full of flavour

Fabulous food, great cost and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Been back here twice in the last week, it was that good! Staff lovely, food is 100% and service is spot on. Clean, timely and anything you ask for (extra spice etc) is catered for Could not be happier to eat here again Congratulations boys! X

Fantastic buffet night, now on a Monday. Epic Peshwari naan, new menu, service outstanding, Uncharacteristically quiet tonight busy most nights.

Excellent service, fantastic food, relaxed evening, helpful and friendly staff. They were unexpectedly very busy with large last minute bookings but the staff were really polite and apologised if things took a little longer than expected. As it happens they managed really well and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Will be recommending to friends. We will be back :)

Absolutely amazing food, great prices. Excellent service. If you're looking for a place to dine out, that's not going to leave your wallet crying... This is the place. Food is divine. Great music too.

Very nice although quite expensive

Nice tasting food, friendly staff and reasonably priced, added bonus I just turned up and seats were available

Went to Spice once a month for about eight years. Never once was the manager or staff friendly. Never asked how I was etc. Will not be going again.

Curry was very very good. But naan bread was extremely average… green garlic naan! Tasted like it was reheated naan from Sainsbury. Would return but they need to work on proper naans from a Tandoor oven.

Menu was old and new great food sagaloo was the best I have tasted friendly and attentive staff good vfm will return.

Very nice family lunch, delicious and well paced.

Menu varied and reasonably priced. Drinks vary in price. Nice environment and staff helpful. It's probably better to enjoy this restaurant in small groups as it is less pressure on the kitchen. To produce a tasty dish

As always great service and fantastic food.

have had a few takeaways from here and have always been impressed well presented and piping hot even allowing for a 10 min walk home once collecting

More like 3 and a half really, food is good. Service is not very good, when it's busy you're lucky to get a look in. Tidy if unspectacular looking place. Can usually walk in and get a table.

"Banquet" was several smaller portion items from menu due to Covid restrictions Food was tasty and presented well. Only downside was always had a worker watching you eat.

Great service, really good menu and really enjoyed my visit! Recommend the makani 😜

Fantastic meal, good flavour etc, great service

Food was good, the service wasn't with a smile and rushed.

Wonderful food and great, friendly service....they even gave us a free cobra glass because we said we liked them 🍺😁

Good quality and range of food. A little crowded for my liking and service suffered because of the number of diners.

I can only say good things about this place. From the food to the service. We have been going here for 17+ years and it never fails to amaze us. The food is cooked perfectly and the owner always greets us with a smile and handshake (before covid), he always remembers us and looks after us well! We always look forward to the finishing mint at the bill as well! If you want a great meal and atmosphere, I highly recommend taking family, friends or your partner!

Eaten a lot here and generallly lovely but can vary in spice content and amount of oil. A lot of the milder dishes are same and just sweet.

Great service and varied menu. We need to support these local restaurants.

Delicious vindaloo and butter chicken and peshwari naan. Collected ready within 20 minutes. Very tasty food will be having more takeaways from here

Loved everything. Great food. Lovely staff. We had a wonderful evening! Well definitely go again if I'm in the area again

Always great food, freshly cooked. Highly recommended

Beautiful meal, good price, good service.

Not local to the area and found this little gem on a random. Food was fantastic we asked for personal preference requirements and they complied and we got the food exactly how we wanted. Welcoming service definitely would recommend

Spice is a place I’ve been going to every Christmas Eve with my family and all the staff are extremely nice! It feels nice and fancy and is nice place to catch up with family annuly. Whilst it might take time to cook, it makes up for it with superb food that is always top quality, I’ve never been letdown with this place and will be going here every Christmas Eve (and on other occasions) for many times more!

Clean restaurant .. lovely food.. lovely owner

Had many meals at the Spice before, never had any complaints, the food and staff are superb. Just had one of the best takeaways ever tonight. Chicken Morrisa extra hot, brilliant!

Still find the food amazing, never had a bad dish. Buffet night very reasonable, we have a 20 mile trip and it's well worth it.

Always efficient quick and friendly

Excellent staff, service, fresh and tasty food served at a reasonable price. There is also a nice pint of beer is available to accompany your food selection.

Food very ordinary and overpriced.Many better curry restaurants within a short distance.

Best indian food in thatcham lovely meal here never had a bad one we have been using the Spice for years.

This was my first visit to the restaurant the service was poor and the staff very unfriendly,I do not recommend eating here if you want quick service
