Spice Bistro in Tameside

First time here. Visited on a Monday night, no reservation made. We were warmly greeted and seated. Tried 3 dishes, chicken rogan, chicken jalfriezi and a naga chicken. Accompanied with pilau rice and naan. Absolutely delicious food. Each dish was different and very tasty. Lovely presentation. The restaurant is like a tardis. It seems much bigger on the inside. Great service throughout. Finally, they give a discount on food on a Monday. Bonus! Now we have found the best in the area we will be back. Looking forward to visiting again. Thank you.

Fabulous. Great food and even better service. Would visit again for sure. Made us feel very welcome and happy to wish one of our guests a happy birthday..

Probably the best korma I have tasted.!The service was amazing ,very friendly and helpful. Naam bread so soft and tasty.Cant fault the food, just sorry we have never been before .Definitely go again.Highly recommended

We visited for the first time in a while on Wednesday evening and tried the Tapas offer Just £11.90 per person and we got a poppadum each with chutney tray, then a tray each with 2 curries, a side, rice and bread All piping hot and extremely tasty, my personal favourite was the lamb saag balti Great deal and priced perfectly in my opinion

Always enjoy our meals here. Food is tasty and fresh and the menu has a lot of variety. The staff are really friendly and service quick. Would recommend booking.

My friends and I live either side of the Pennines and meet her once a month. The staff are friendly and helpful, the decor and ambiance is great (much more modern than most Indian restaurants) and the food is fabulous. I can’t recommend this place highly enough - they really look after you and there are some really unusual dishes to try (as well as the standard Indian favourites)

I wanted to go here for some time. I was very pleased with my decision, we went at 6-30 having booked. We had a warm welcome and there was a multi-choice menu. Both of us were well satisfied. A minor item, my wife had a vegetarian dish. This included broccoli and cauliflower. The stalks were very hard and she did not eat them. We felt that these parts should have been cut out prior to cooking.

Brilliant food, friendly staff and very accomodating. Fantastic Shobzi Railway meal. Recommended *****

Visited at weekend with my wife having read the positive reviews. It was ok. Not bad. Not great, however. Just felt a little underwhelmed to be honest and expected more having seen the 5/5 rating. Food was fine and staff pleasant and friendly. Price was reasonable I guess. Negatives would be: Parking extremely limited. Dark and dimly lit. Very cold atmosphere and temperature. Again, just thought it would be something a bit more stand-out and it was just… ok. We have eaten curries all over the world, however, so maybe we just come to expect that bit more. Would we visit again? Probably not.

Decided to see if the reviews lived up to the hype, and they did! Really nice food, full of flavour, but best of all you could tell it was FRESH. Even the naan breads were made in-house and were so fluffy (99% sure they were homemade!). Stands out from any Indian we’ve had in the area for sure. Will definitely be visiting again!

Fabulous food, warm welcome, excellent recomendations ( thanks Mo). One of the tastiest curries we have had in a long while. Seafood curry brilliant and Railway Curry packed with flavour. Loved the spinach rice and vegatable bhaji. Would highly recommend

The best Indian food. Best flavours. Not the cheapest but worth it. We live in Glossop and travel here rather than the local Indian restaurants. Always friendly, great for takeaways too. Recommend

Not been here for a while so decided to get a takeaway as we used to be so impressed with the quality of the food. Sadly this time it was very disappointing. The lamb was tough in the saag balti, all the dishes were quite bland and swimming in ghee. Felt quite ill after eating it and the sink was covered in grease. Very sad as it used to be brilliant. Hoping it was just an off day or we ordered badly.

We enjoyed a gorgeous family meal here! Food was stunning! 10/10. The kids loved there dish to with a personalised touch! The staff where really friendly, thank you to Naz for looking after us! X

We tried this place on the way to Manchester airport a couple of weeks ago, a lovely waiter called Mahfuj Khan was extremely helpful with advising us what to order, we weren’t disappointed, wow, it was amazing! So much taste! So much so we called on our way back from the airport to enjoy yet another choice of curry, staff are all really lovely, we will definitely be driving over here again soon with the family, well worth the drive!

Lovely meal. Treated my daughter to chicken tikka massala and I had the railway chicken with spinach rice. Both were delicious as was a seekh kebab starter. Friendly service, food arrived quickly, couldn't ask for more. Thank you x

We hadn't been back since lockdown, but this remains our favourite local Indian restaurant. The food is outstanding and the waiting staff know so much to advise upon. Service is first class and friendly. Plenty of vegetarian choice. Would very very highly recommend.

We ordered different curries along with extras on Boxing Day 2022 for collection. The food and service was Excellent, would definitely recommend to others.

I am a vegetarian and find that I am often disappointed with the food at Indian restaurants as frequently for some inexplicable reason many use frozen veg - peas, beans, sweetcorn etc. That was not the case at this fabulous restaurant!! I had the vegetarian tapas, and the food was delicious, lovely and hot and all fresh veg, none of your tinned mushrooms here! We will definitely will be back! I must also add that the restaurant was very nicely decorated and looked very classy. I loved everything about the place.

I had a gorgeous meal at The Spice Bistro tonight, the food was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious, the Customer Service was genuinely friendly and second to none, I would highly recommend a visit!!!!

Absolutely Fantastic food and service. Called in for an impromptu meal. All first class. Will be back soon as we didn’t have any room left for dessert.

Looks tiny from outside but so elegant and classy inside. Food was gorgeous. Really tasty, freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Staff were attentive, helpful and enthusiastic. Honestly couldn't fault.

Had the mostly lovely meal tonight at The Spice Bistro in Hollingworth. Food was wonderful. Beautiful presentation and obviously freshly prepared. Their 5 star rating is very well deserved. Staff were so friendly too. We will be back.

Amazing restaurant and takeaway service food is always 10/10 absolutely amazing every time & very tasty! Staff are friendly and always welcoming, thank you Abi, Mo & Naz! we are regulars here at Spice Bistro and couldn't recommended it enough.

Second time ordered from this restaurant as a takeaway. Food very good, reasonable prices Have been again since are first visit Definitely will go back and certainly recommend

As an retired infection prevention officer I can say that the restaurant and staff definitely would score full marks. The cleanliness and hygiene were next to none under these critical times.

We had arranged a socially distanced evening meal with our son and his partner. We chose to order the meals from Spice Bistro in Hollingworth, Hyde. The quality and quantity of everything we ordered was superb. Well done Spice Bitro at such a demanding time....

Great meal last night for our wedding anniversary, Naz and his team working very hard to make the restaurant covid safe, very impressed at the efforts being made. The new Railway Chicken was superb, now my favourite dish. Hope they get through these difficult times,...

Would prefer to eat in but tonight's meal was superb, the onion pilau rice beautiful. Thans guys as always x

We have been to this restaurant many times and everything we have had was very nice, we normally have Lamb Roganjosh.Last night we ordered a takeaway and thought we would try something different so we ordered Aloo Chana Gosht, well I must say it was the best curry I have ever had, it was that good we are ordering it again tonight.The staff are friendly, we cannot wait until they are fully open again so we can eat inside, you are a credit to our village.

So pleased to see this awesome restaurant back doing takeaways during the lockdown from Covid 19. Their food is the best around, best ingredients are put into their meals which shows in the meals. Had a lovely takeaway last night (6.5.20) perfect as always. Their children’s portions are immense and great value for money.They have a great process for collection, no contact just order pay contactless and collect. Looking forward to the full restaurant opening once we are passed this awful pandemic. #supportlocalbusiness.

Great meal. Loved the tapas. Would definitely recommend. It doesn't look much from the outside, but the building is nice inside as it was the old bank.

Excellent food brilliant service. Highly recommended. Reasonable prices. Will most definitely be returning

Bangladeshi plant based evening was very busy so seems it maybe very popular in the future so will be going again. Lots of fresh authentic dishes each with their own individual unique flavour. Love how much care is put into presenting the dishes to the ingredients and the customer service. Can’t wait to go back, thank you!

What a lovely place. The food was amazing and all the staff were so good with the children. Would highly recommend. We will certainly see you again. Thank you for such a good night.

Fabulous evening in this fantastic restaurant with friends. The food was top notch as always, a great atmosphere and the best restaurant by far. Thanks to Naz, Abi, Mo and all the staff for making it a great night.

Heard good reviews about this place and living just a couple of miles away I decided to try it out.Phoned the order through with no issues. The person taking the order was very polite and checked it was correct before putting the phone down. I arrived 20 mins later and the food was ready. I went with my 2 kids (aged 6 and 7) to pick up the food and the staff gave them free lollies which they liked.I ordered the Madras which was one of the nicest ones I have had in a while, the perfect heat and very tasty. I was a little more expensive than my normal takeaway but was better in my opinion and I will go again. Only downside is they don't deliver but least it was still hot then I got it home and the time it was collected is in my hands so no waiting around for the driver.

Myself and partner whilst staying in the local area decided to visit Spice Bistro. Service was exemplary as was the food. These people take pride in the food and the service they provide. Could not fault anything. Will definitely return when passing.

Excellent service - Mo was amazing!Made us feel very welcome and gave us good recommendations on menu choices.Meal was outstanding.Our son was made to feel very welcome and he felt very special the chef wrote his name on his curry dishThank you so much for such a pleasurable dinning experience - special thanks to Mo

Nipped in here Thursday night - never been before, thought it was fantastic. Mo and Jay were really attentive and friendly and the food was brilliant. Its a lovely little place and we will definitely be back. Very fresh and delicious food.

Myself and nine friends had a early evening meal here at the end of October. We asked for two platters of mixed starters to be shared between all of us. What actually arrived was a mixed starter for each of all ten of us. It was probably a misunderstanding...but even so that's a pretty hefty starter and some diners struggled to finish their first course.

Great meal out tonight. Staff were friendly and attentive. One of us mentioned about loving the mango chutney and when we ordered our 2 pickle trays they brought him an extra bowl of mango chutney. It was really nice gesture.

Food is absolutely gorgeous can’t wait to return staff very attentive and friendly good service nice interior will be back

Visiting the area again all the way from sunny Devon, had to pop in for my Spice Bistro fix! Top quality food, flawless service, and smiles all around

Disappointing to say the least. I spent money on bland food that was full of onions. Such a waste of food as lot of it remains untouched as it was that poor. Won't be returning anytime soon.

We wanted to try a new curry house that we hadn't been to before, so we looked at the highest rating place near us and this came up - we were not disappointed! We went for the tapas dishes, meat and fish - all were really tasty and nicely presented, the staff were lovely, we did have a small wait for our table, but the quality and service made up for that. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back soon

I have tried a number of dishes over the years, and have been amazed at the quality and service with each visit. Nothing is too much effort and the chef is more than accommodating in tweaking your curry, or making your food a little hotter if required. All the curries are made from scratch therefore the quality and flavour is second to none. Best curry restaurant and takeaway around.

Chose this restaurant from looking over previous reviews and was not disappointed in the slightest. Very helpful and attentive staff. Our food was amazing, cannot recommend it high enough.

Beautiful delicious food and great service. Everything tasted fresh and perfect portions. We have tried many different dishes and enjoyed them all. There is a wide range of food on the menu with some items I have not seen elsewhere. Great advice was also offered to my children about what to pick.

As visitors to the area we were recommended this restaurant by a local. Well decorated and spotlessly clean with specialities, old favourites and child friendly dishes on the menu. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often!

We just had a meal at this wonderful bistro. The staff were excellent suggesting dishes and were not at all pushy. The food was the best we have had for a long time. The whole place is geared to helping the customer enjoy their food. I would have absolutely no hesitation about giving the highest recommendation to this superb eatery.

Had a voucher for £30 to spend. We had 2 poppadoms, we both had chicken korma but shared the chips and egg fried rice. The curry was excellent as was the fried rice. We had ice cream for dessert and a pint of cobra and a water. The bill came to £30. Would recommend the curry.

Our friend took us this restaurant and we are so glad he did. From the warm welcome to the very well prepared speciality curries which were very tasty. An excellent restaurant we will visit again.

Another visit to our favourite place , My Friend just loves the curries here , presentation is really good , I had the tandoori mix grill it was exceptional.

I have been going here since the restaurant opened best Indian food around and the staff cannot do enough

Doesn’t matter what you order it’s always fantastic, even if you ask for something out of the ordinary they will always try to make it for you. Fantastic friendly staff always happy to help.

Love it here Naz and his team are so welcoming. I’m plant based and they always accommodate me with a lovely curry with so much flavour. Another plus is they use fresh veg not frozen or tinned, such depth and flavour to the curries here. Try it you won’t be disappointed

We have visited the restaurant ever time we come to the uk to see family,

Excellent food and service. I like my Indian food and would highly recommend this place. The tapas dishes are particularly worth trying.

Great food and great service and they were really accommodating for me as a vegan. I opted for side dishes, but they assured me that they could make most dishes vegan. Always a pleasure to visit here. Thank you 🙏

Myself and friends have been here several times every time we are tried like family .the food is the very best around and excellent value for money .

I have eaten here a few times with my family. The food is excellent, the meat in the curries always tastes tender and fresh. The meat and fish tapas are great for when you can’t make up your mind. The takeaway food is also fantastic. The staff are extremely polite. I can not recommend this place enough. Can’t wait for my next visit.

The food was great! I really enjoyed it. I'm a vegetarian and they catered for me very well. The restaurant was on the small side but other than that great!

Managed to book a table for new years eve and it was wonderful. Service, portions and quality of food all outstanding. Will be back again soon

Had a great evening with great friends, great food and great staff.

I ordered takeaway from this restaurant recently. The naga dish I ordered there was no taste of naga and the naan was very soggy. Really don't think going back.

The best Indian around with the best staff :) I always take family and friends to Spice Bistro & they ALWAYS return.

Lovely restaurant, great service. Wonderful curry. A must if you are in the area. Didn't look much from the outside, a fabulous surprise.

Was delicious went for a meal with group of friends and family food was delicious and the staff were very good

Went early evening for my sons birthday. It was a very enjoyable meal. We all enjoyed our curries which were varied. It was served by pleasant waiting staff. They also had a good choice of desserts which is unusual for an Indian restaurant. Can recommend the korma, chicken tikka and the beef curry. Would definitely go again.

Fodd was very good and served piping hot. great selection of house specialities. and the nan bread was freshly cooked and delicious. Service was great and the staff were very atentive. Drinks were reasonbly priced. We will most certainly return.

Despite this being just down the road for years this was my first visit. The food was excellent, well presented, big portions. Helpful friendly staff and well priced. Will definitely be coming here more.

Brought both sets of parents here and it was a thumbs up all round. The food was delicious, the service was perfect and how friendly are the staff. Will definitely be returning. Great for veggies, pescatarians and carnivores alike.

Really enjoyed this place because it not only provides excellent food but the staff go out of their way to ensure that you feel welcome and take pride in their work making sure that all your needs are catered for. They offered advice on what foods might best suit our palates with each dish prepared and spiced to our own individual requirements.

People say I am super fussy eating out – well you have to be if it’s your money your spending. I ordered lemonade & lime – lemonade tasted flat, one of the waiters offered to replace for me, although not brilliant was better second time round, tasted like bottled lemonade that had been opened for ages. Hubby ordered beer and not a problem.

Food cooked as requested. Great service and very attentive staff. First time visit. Already planning another visit, this time with friends. Thank you to all. Tony and Alison

One of our favourite restaurants of all time.

I met a friend from work staying in the nearby Premier Inn and we picked the Spice Bistro from reviews. If anything the reviews were not positive enough. Service was friendly, efficient but not overbearing and their recommendations were excellent. Due to the heat outside we did not have our normal curry dishes and I had Chicken Tikka and my friend had a chefs special with a couple of beers. The food was presented as a high end restaurant and tasted amazing, my colleagues dish was huge with potatoes, keema and Chicken in a tasty sauce. Again service was excellent and timed to perfection. Well Done 10 out of 10.

Really good atmosphere and good staff the food is delicious only problem really is the parking but would recommend overall

Another fantastic curry with great service and friendliness, very very consistent with everything the cook and do. Well done guys.

Lovely ambience and excellent service. Amazing menu with so much choice from the norm. Food well presented, to a high standard. Delicious and fresh. Best curry we have ever had. Definitely be back and bringing friends too. Excellent children's menu.

I visited Spice Bistro on Saturday for the first time. The service was really attentive and the food was fantastic.

Good food!!!as usual fast friendly,restaurant was packed,but still my food eas ready in 20 mins a superb..well done spice bistro.

We visited this restaurant with family at the weekend and really enjoyed our evening. The staff were really attentive, friendly, funny and helpful - excellent service. The food was fresh, delicious and the portion sizes were just right. Would definitely recommend.

As always in this restaurant the food was exceptional, staff were very friendly and I just keep making excuses to go back!

Great food, lovely service, Just found the chairs on the low side ( being tall my legs ached after sitting for a meal) But would go back again.

My experience was exectly as I planned. Its great for birthdays. The food was amazing and they couldn't of cooked it better.

It was really nice they asked me what my name was then when I got my food my name was written really posh on the plate in this edible icing. The curry is really nice in all types and every bit of it is good and it looks really cool inside.

Last minute decision to eat here and we haven't been for a while. The veggie tapas was amazing. All dishes chosen by the chef and did not disappoint.

Glad to find this place - very attentive and polite, food good, and they were able to discuss gluten free options (and cater for my dad who wanted hotter than a madras but not quite full vindaloo...).

Absolute quality food to take away or eat in. They are always consistent and the service is great. I’m really happy they set up in our village.

This Indian restaurant is easily missed as you drive through Hollingworth, it doesn't look much from the outside but it certainly is one to visit if you like Indian food.
