Spice Chilli is a must-visit! The food was packed with bold flavors and just the right amount of spice. The chef was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring every dish was perfect. The presentation was also stunning, making it picture-worthy. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves flavorful, spicy food!

A little Indian restaurant in Prescot. There's loads of free parking just around the corner. The menu is extensive and the service is excellent. They don't have a licence, so bring your own booze. The Pepsi is served in cans The food is fresh, hot and bloody tasty with decent sized portions 3 meals, 6 poppadoms with dips, 2 cans of Pepsi £58

Ordered online on Friday night. Our order was half an hour late from the expected time. However the food made up for it we got a platter for two it was a feast! Two curries and a large rice. 2 sides, poppadoms, large naan bread and 4 onion bahjis. Reasonable price especially for what get. Looking forward to our next visit, we are gonna visit the restaurant next time. Definitely recommend.

Well wow! I spent nine years in Hounslow, London so I am spoiled when it comes to Indian food. The food in the dozens of Indian restaurants in Hounslow is extremely authentic. In 2020, we moved to Liverpool. In that whole time, we could not find one Indian food place that was anywhere near as good as what we had been used to……… UNTIL NOW!!! Found Spice Chilli Prescot online and read a few reviews. Had a good feeling about it. We ordered a load of stuff and waited for delivery. It was the best Indian food we’ve had since we’ve been here, by far! Great flavours, good quality ingredients, generous portions and lots of lovely colours. My wife had butter chicken, I had chicken shaslick (highly recommended) and we had a mixed grill starter, rice, a couple sides and chapatis. Excellent! Thank you guys, we will be ordering again and next time, our tip won’t be going to Uber!

Absolutely love this place! It's always had a 5 star hygiene rating which is very important. Fantastic food and because it's not licensed, you bring your own alcoholic drinks which makes the overall cost a lot less and guarantees you have the best wine of your choice. The entrance is wheelchair accessible with both doors open (which is better than most restaurants in Prescot - you know who you are) but I don't think there's an accessible toilet (I will check next time). The service is very good and friendly. Highly recommended. I also highly recommend their delivery service too if you want to stay at home. This is now my first choice Indian restaurant / takeaway.

Delivery via Uber Eats was absolutely spot on. Ordered a Lamb Tikka Naga curry and egg pilau rice, plus 3 near samosa. Taste was superb, texture was excellent and it was nice and spicy. Arrived hot and on time. Would recommend this restaurant/delivery to anyone who loves a 'nice' curry.

Nothing really wrong with this place but nothing really stands out either. The set-up seems more geared to take-away with the service in the restaurant being Ok if a little perfunctory. The Naan Puri starter was a little strange being really quite sweet and the puri itself being doughy rather than light and fluffy. The main however was quite good and the Naan bread nicely baked. So overall worth a try. Perhaps I have been a little harsh!

Decent quality on all meals.full of flavour. Balti and jalfrezi are lovely and will give your taste buds the attention they need with all the spices Chicken pakora are very very nice, pop one in your mouth after dipping it in the mint dip mmmmmm.And the meat samosas are lovely too . Lamb chop are always tasty. Rice is nice and fluffy. Always a favourite this place for a curry and even though the prices have gone up in this current climate it's worth every penny for this quality.

Atmospheric little restaurant and takeaway with lovely fresh food Passed through Whiston on route and chatted about “the great guy” that used to work in an Asian restaurant in Penketh but had gone to one somewhere in Rainhill about 10 years ago. Arrived at a handy car park for this lovely little Asian casual eatery in Prescot. Fab food and service including a great shared starter, excellent selection of mains including a few I hadn’t seen before. Ended up with a doggy bag after attempting the largest biryani I have ever been presented with, and my other half enjoying her chicken tikka main with mango washed down with our “bring your own drinks”. After a lovely experience We were just about to leave, and what a surprise,out from the kitchen Hannan “the great guy” comes to greet us. Icing on the cake, great to see him again and we will definitely be back.

When we arrived about 5.30. There was a family of 6 in their. Sat down ordered poppadoms and chutneys. 2 cans of coke at £2.50. Each. I ordered bhuna prawn on puree. Loads of prawns. But was absolutely tasteless. So ordered mains. Chicken tikka shashlick with boiled rice. Wife said it was nice. I ordered lamb sylheti. And got chicken instead. Didn't realise till i put it on my plate. Same again. Absolutely no taste whatsoever. Keema rice wasn't great nether. Naan bread was good. My wife's side curry was the same as my sylheti. Probably just a spiceless base gravy. At £57. And he didn't bring the change. We will definitely not be returning. AVOID THIS PLACE. 😡

Told to come back in 10 mintues, came back in 15 and had to wait another 10 as food wasn’t ready. Ordered garlic and cheese naan and was just plain naan but paid extra. Not impressed and won’t be returning.

So I’ve lived in the area now 4 years. I never regularly get Indian’s because I’ve been really disappointed with the ones I have got but that’s a few times now I’ve ordered from Spice Chilli and it is been delicious. I’ve ordered a Madras and Rogan Josh, both times with lamb and it was a delicious! Madras is usually my favourite curry but the Rogan Josh was the winner! Look forward to regularly ordering from here!

I really don't understand who is reviewing this place. We ordered the mixed kebab which was huge, but basically had hardly any other meat on it besides thick slices of donner. If I wanted a donner kebab, I would have ordered strictly donner kebab, I expected more of the other meat. There was no salad or sauce despite us requesting mint sauce to be put on the kebab (small bag of lettuce was included and small pot of mint sauce but by no means enough). The curry was completely flavourless, it was just lightly spiced cream with a load of cheese on top. Ordered lamb, chicken and prawn... But when I'm paying £10 for a curry, I expect a few king prawns, not a sprinkle of small flavourless atlantic prawns. 😔 The onion bhajis were lovely, and so was the coconut rice, the lamb was very tender but definitely wasn't enough of it. But that's about it. I'm so disappointed because I've heard such great things about this place. Won't be ordering again. We did call the restaurant to mention that we were not happy, before posting our review online. The man who we spoke to was polite, such a shame the food wasn't nice.

First time customer but won't be back. Lamb (mutton?) tough, chicken chewy, dishes flavourless, artificial colouring, madras far too hot for a set menu dish. Don't like leaving bad reviews but only tried because of high rating here so only fair to other potential customers to be honest.
