We have a family get-together here regularly, and everything is always wonderful. The food is well cooked, delicious and big portions, in fact we always have lots to take home because we can never finish it all! The atmosphere is relaxed, staff are all very friendly and if it's a birthday the celebrant is given a gift which is amazing!

I always believe Indian food need not be spicy to be tasty.... However that's what they think that authentic Indian food is spicy and what they make is a bland un-tasty version... Indians please avoid this place... Inspite of repeated requests they just would not serve us anything on the menu ...and insisted that it would be very bland and non-indian taste and made us a custom horrible tasting (though lil spicy, dark brown with a lot of tamarind) curry...They serve a different class of food (definitely not Indian)... worst Birthday dinner I ever had ... and not authentic at all... and not to mention really felt unwelcome there (as they kept suggesting you will not like anything on the menu) - edited this 7 years on as I still remember that evening 🙂

Nice service and friendly staff but the Food was so bland, no flavour at all just tinned tomatoes and onions. It obviously caters for those who either can't handle a real curry or have never had one. Where's the spices ?? I don't know where all these amazing reviews are coming from but I can say without a doubt they have never had a proper ruby if they think this is a good

Following a recommendation from a friend, this was my first time here, and it won't be the last. Already a good sign was that the restaurant was a lot busier than I'd expect for a random Wednesday evening. Service was attentive without being over fussy, food quality was consistently high, portion sizes for mains in particular were ample, and even though we'd never been there before, the proprietor made us feel especially welcome. A+ NB Parking is in bays outside, operated by RingGo, so you may want to consider alternative ways of getting to and from there.

Food arrived bang on time. Reasonably priced I guess. Meat Samosa was very thin. Not much filling. Spicing was so subtle as to be almost non existent. Not much flavour. Vegetable curry was too oily and really not nice to eat. Tarka daal was too lumpy and far too much garlic even for me. Chicken Biryani had hardly any flavour and tasted like the chef forgot to add any of the fragrant spices that you expect from this classic dish. All items was severely under-seasoned. I will not be ordering food from Spice Barkingside again.

Note we bought Popadoms, 2 soft drinks and Paneer Tikka Korai with 2 Garlic Naan’s. It cost around just under £30. So if your planning on eating more than one main and starters you will be looking at around £20-£30 per person. We would have had more but there were no Starters for Vegetarian or Vegan (apart from vegetable samosas) Food was not great and options limited for Veg, we noticed the food was more Bangladeshi then Indian. Just FYI if you want a proper Indian probably not the spot!

We went to Spice for dinner. The welcome was good. The customer service was superb, the man who took our orders and served us was gentle, always smiling and was checking if everything was okay. When we pointed out something about the rice he was quick to rectify it. The food was delicious and the bread was tasty. When we had finished the dinner and drinks, he gave us some chocolates and even offered us free drinks and that was great. As we left I thanked him for his hospitality and asked for his name it was then that he said he was the owner of Spice. Kalik is a humble man. Great service from him and his staff. Well done. I highly recommend 👌.

My experience visiting this Spice restaurant was disappointing.Waited a long time to order starters. Waiters passing the buck.Few couldn’t understand.Food including curry were nice portion size however compared to other restaurants tasteless Kanchans Carrways, only slightly cheaper in cost.However Waiter didn’t add bill up correctly and overcharged is by 12.00 and reluctantly took it off after we spotted it.I personally wouldn’t recommend it, however a fair size restaurant Waiters could be more friendly, doesn’t cost anything.

Surly waiter service - not even a smile on the chap's face. Didn't even say goodbye when I left and he was right beside me. At the beginning, I asked the waiter a respectful question but got a cold indifferent reply that it was on its way. The Tandoori mixed grill which I ordered was OK and flavour was rather industrial. Problem was it took longer than half an hour and I was the only customer in the restaurant at that time (5 pm). Pretty disappointing overall seeing as I chose the restaurant because of its high ratings on Trip Advisor.

I guess when you aren’t asian or regularly eat indian - its easy to look at and taste this food and be impressed. I don’t know how they've managed to earn such a high rating. I ordered a biryani for collection, the chap who took the call was extremely rude and when I arrived to collect his attitude in person stank more than dodgy vegetable curry they gave me. The biryani was probably the worst I’ve ever had in my life (I've had a lot, from all around the country), bland rice attacked with red colouring to fool you, the lamb was so tough my jaws were aching and absolutely drenched in oil. Straight in the bin. Never going back. 0 stars.

This is not an Indian Restaurant in fact the service and the food was poor. We sat and waited for 30 min with no food they had forgotten our order .The food had no spice no taste not even salt which I found shocking for an Indian restaurant very bland food . NO covid safety measurements in place , staff were not taking precautions no sanitation available, customers were not asked to wear mask no temperature check . Overall poor quality of food and service the staff very not attentive at all often spoke in their own language and ignored us . I'm surprised that others have given this place 5 star . I would not reccomend this place if you like your food seasoned properly with authentic flavors. Good customers and good food is the least we required and we got non .

We visited “Spice” Barkingside last week. Don’t usually write reviews but felt I had to as this was the worst Indian restaurant we’ve been to. Would give “zero” stars if possible. Food was awful. No taste at all. Everything had just one tomato sauce in it. No spices at all, not even salt. Staff was not friendly. They didn’t care to talk to customers at all. Very surprised to see five starts been given for this restaurant. I would not be recommending this Indian restaurant.
