Spice Empire in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Recommended by our Airbnb hosts, we were not disappointed. The staff were warm and welcoming. The restaurant looked good with a great ambience. The food was absolutely delicious and good portion sizing, best Indian meal we've had. The price was very reasonable. We shall definitely return.

I umm'd and arr'd over visiting due to sporadic reviews but we were not disappointed. We've lived in Shropshire since 2001 and struggled for a good sit down Indian since moving from the Midlands. The team were fantastically welcoming, the food was superb and the atmosphere was spot on. Price wise, couldn't fault it, £109 for 4 of us to include all drinks Complementary onion bhajis too. Well worth a visit. This will definitely be our go to from now on, it's only taken 23 years! 🫣

we were at an event locally , so we dived in here for a bite to eat, welcome was great, service was good, but the food was mediocre sadly, the Tandoori mixed grill was over cooked, dried out and really not very good at all

Ordered mango chicken starter, balti delight, pilau rice and lamb madras. Not sure how to describe the mango chicken starter other than it was sickening. The balti couldn't be further from a 'delight' and this and the madras were devoid of any flavour you would expect from these dishes. The spices appear to have been omitted from both and I've had spicier scrambled eggs. We were led by previous reviews and expected an authentic and flavourful meal but were severely disappointed as well as out of pocket. Awful.

Excellent service and food. Korma and pakora particularly delicious! Shebul gave great service. Felt looked after from start to finish. Totally recommend them.

Have eaten in the restaurant before and enjoyed it BUT had a takeaway and was very disappointed. Took 2 hours to deliver. Luke warm on arrival. Korma was extremely spicy for what was supposed to be a mild dish I was unable to eat it. The vegetable korma consisted of only onions and undercooked peas and three pieces of very hard mango. The Paratha bread wasvery thick and doughy. After enjoying the eat in experience was looking forward to this but very disappointed

Takeaway tonight not the best I ordered a tandoori mixed grill um not the best 1 overcooked chicken leg 4 bits of chicken 2 bit of lamb some onions and cold for £15 never again

Excellent food really tasty Loads of atmosphere the restaurant was really busy and buzzed The service was very good The staff were attentive and friendly nice happily faces

Sadly, not many places were serving food on a Sunday night so ended up here. The service was ok. We ordered the mixed tandoori grill, it was bland. The lamb was tough. Also tried the masala fries, they were limp, covered in ketchup and again disappointing, you cannot call them fries or masala. The peshwari naan was the best part of our meal.

2.5 hours is way too long to wait for a takeaway. First time of ordering, but there was no indication given that it would take 2.5 hrs for it to be delivered. Food really not that good. From this experience, I would not recommend.

Good food but don’t order for delivery. We had to wait well over two hours for our food and online it said it would take 45 mins. When I called the restaurant they just kept saying it will be with you soon

Well we have ordered a take away from this restaurant many times through food hub and generally had good service and food . We ordered food in October and it took over two hours to arrive so we put a complaint in . We feel it was justified. We put another order in through food hub again in November . At first it was accepted and they took our money . 45 minutes later they cancelled our order stating we lived to far away ( strange as I said we have had food from here many times ) I phoned the restaurant to ask what’s going on and they just put the phone down . What great customer service they have . I’m sorry that you can’t accept a complaint when one is due. Good luck if you order from here as they obviously don’t care about their service.

First time ordering meal from this restaurant, we ordered online. Meals too much rice, main dish not very tasty. Bland unable to any spices.

This super place was recommended by a lady we bumped into in the street. We are just visitors to area so we took her up on her recommendation. We found a stunningly beautiful first class venue, had a high quality meal and were made very welcome by Shabul and Ali. We hope to call again before leaving the area.

We are staying in the area with our young flat-coated retriever , and loved the look of this restaurant . We asked if we could come for an early evening booking with our well behaved dog , and the staff agreed . The food was amazing and the service was brilliant . Highly recommend .

Great food and relaxing atmosphere. Staff pleasant and courteous. Lots of choice on menu. Would definitely recommend.

Can’t fault anything. Amazing food, great friendly waiters, a real gem. We wish it was near to where we live. Excellent visit.

Living in the USA now originally from Manchester. Had many a curry in Manchester but this was seriously the best I have ever eaten!! Amazing food and great staff!!! Highly recommend

What a fantastic restaurant on all levels.Visited for the first time for an impromptu dinner last night and were impressed from the moment we entered. Great welcome, fantastic ambiance, first class service and amazing food. What a extensive menu ! Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely brilliant. Service is second to none, the attention to detail is amazing. The restaurant and toilets are spotless. Even to the point where the paneer is made in house, the food is the best I've had.....and I've had plenty 😊 It's a 3rd generation family owned and run restaurant and it shows in the care taken. Highly recommended

Ordered 4 meals, all very pleased and satisfied with taste and quantity. I usually choose chicken but this time I tried the Lamb butternut. The lamb was so tender complemented well with the butternut. Naan beautifully big and very tasty. Thankyou for fabulous food. We will soon be back. Lorraine & Steve

Enjoyed a fabulous meal on Christmas Eve, service & food excellent as usual. Very tasty and everything piping hot. Peshwari naan just cooked, delicious. Thank you to the owner and staff for making us feel very welcome as always . See you in the new year.

The food is wonderful, lots of varied meals (not just Chicken Tikka Masala, although that is available) the staff are brilliant. Friendly, organised, different people appear to do one thing only therefore the service is second to none. All are very knowledgeable about the food, everything is cooked to order and is normally at a medium spice, but you can ask for less or more spice if you require. The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxing and friendly. The night we went they two parties of 10 people, but it did not effect our service and we did not feel rushed or in the way, the restaurant is always busy and full so you must book.

An excellent meal with excellent service. We had a lovely time…I think it was probably the best meal I have had at The Spice Empire. Well done Wasim and Staff. 5 ⭐️

Great service, lovely atmosphere, great food. Clearly popular judging by the number of people there. Would highly recommend.

Staying near Cleobury Mortimer for a couple of nights and looked for a local restaurant. So pleased we found Spice Empire, the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic food, very welcoming and couldn’t recommend more. Interior is really stunning also, superb job all round 😊

Ordered food for takeaway, the food was amazing and decently priced. The staff were very helpful and friendly, will definitely be recommending to others and paying another visit soon!

food is incredible! definitely worth a trip with family or friends, we enjoyed it so much. my fav had to be the biryani!!

Fantastic takeaway last night. Absolutely delicious as usual 😋 Helpful friendly staff always. Thank you Wasim ☺️

Delivery meals at present. The food is always hot on arrival and very delicious. Wasim is very helpful and easy to deal with. Nothing is too much trouble and he will always advise and adapt the menu to suit your needs. We are very much looking forward to going back into the beautifully refurbished restaurant and seeing the whole team, when restrictions are lifted.

Just had an Excellent takeaway. The food at the Spice Emipre is always outstanding and is delivered in a very safe way during these difficult times. Ordering on the website is a great new feature which just takes the hassle out of phoning up.Thank you Spice Empire and I look forward to eating in soon.

The food is always absolutely perfect, they always have great recommendations if unsure what to have and it is to such a high standard! The staff are so lovely and helpful, they all deserve a medal for how hard they work! Would recommend to anyone and definitely would not go to another Indian ever again! Amazing!

Spice Empire has completely exceeded my expectations with their amazing food and top notch service! The decor is absolutely stunning and really sets the scene - totally recommend to try out! The owner also made us feel very welcome and ensured that we were satisfied with everything

Came across the Spice Empire after searching food places nearby and I absolutely loved it! Placed the order with them and paid via a payment link which was soo easy (and quite cool tbh!) Highly recommend the White Tikka Chilli and the Roshni Tikka Massala (yes I had to search the menu to find out how to spell it lol) with Coconut rice and it was so so good! The decor inside is very nice too, pleasantly surprised, I just wish we were allowed to eat in because I would love a dine in experience with them! The guys are very friendly and welcoming and the recommendations was actually spot on which i was very happy with. Well done Spice Empire, I will definitely be going back!

We tried some of the new items on the menu tonight, they were amazing! Highly recommend the Mango tikka starter, we had the lamb option with this and it was beautiful! Lamb was so tender and cooked to perfection! I also had the house balti special, it was very very tasty and again, all meats were tender and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend to anyone! See you guys again when we can come for a “sit down” meal. Ordered through website, found it easy to use and loving local I collected from restaurant, brilliant service as always. Thank you Wasim and the team !

since the refit the spice empire has really surpassed itself. Staff are helpful and friendly, food is excellent and the restaurant is wonderful. Great for a take out at the moment and well worth a visit when we can sit in

I could not rate the spice empire and it’s staff high enough! The staff are extremely friendly, the whole process is fantastic! The food is delicious and you can tell that the ingredients are quality and fresh. The portions are generous too. Last night I forgot a main for my order, the restaurant brought it to my house free of charge! What more can I say? Fantastic food and service!

Today, after an unavoidable delay due to an accident on the way to work,I received a call from the guys at spice empire saying that my order, due to be delivered at 1.30 would be delayed grill around 2-ish. Fine, stuff happens that you are not in control of. I finally received my order at 3 pm. The dElivery guy could not have been more apologetic, and I completely understand that sometimes things happen outside of your control, but today's delivery of biryanis was not up to the usual standard, very bland. Will not affect my continued patronage of the spice empire, but will make me change my order

Ordered food on line with a delivery slot, very straightforward, food arrived on time and was really good and tasty, owner is very helpful and does a lot for the community, well done definitely recommend 👍

Ordered a couple of curries & side dishes for delivery to my parents house for a birthday celebration in Feb 2021. They have been to this restaurant lots in the past. Staff were friendly on the phone & made good on the delivery time set.My parents said the food was great & came with a complimentary birthday beer. Very happy! Thank you.

Faultless meal! Will be back to try more dishes. Fantastic service too! The coconut pud was delish!!

We have been dining at Spice Empire for many years. We first went when we lived local & visited often. We later moved, a few years ago, a fee times, to places around Wolverhampton, but, when ever we get the chance, or a special occasion comes along, we go to Spice Empire, regardless of how long it takes us to get there. We always know we will get a warm welcome, good food & service. Whoever you are, you will always be made to feel like you have been there before & will always want to go again..

Have to say restaurant looks very nice. Plenty of food options. Staff very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

We have been very surprised how restaurant changed since we have been here last time. Everything looks beautiful, clean and very posh. Staff was very friendly and professional as always and food very tasty with plenty of options. Definitely not our last visit! Five stars!!!

The food is absolutely incredible both dining in and take away. The service is perfectly covid secure and every staff member is friendly and welcoming!

We were staying for a night in Cleobury Mortimer and booked a table at Spice Empire. Our experience from start to finish was excellent. The menu is great, and there a lot of different dishes that we had never seen before. The quality of the food was great. The staff were very efficient and attentive. We will definitely return to this restaurant.

The newly refurbished restaurant looks updated and modern with the new decor and updated menu. The food did not disappoint and the new dishes on the menu were lovely. The staff were friendly and attentive, we will definitely be back!!

Great food and friendly service! The food was delicious, all the staff were lovely, really nice atmosphere. As it got busy for a Wednesday night, I’ll definitely be back!

Love the new decor Food was amazing and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.Looking forward to our next visit.

Wasim and his team have been busy during lockdown, the refurb looks great and the new menu will give us lots to enjoy in the months to come! Well done!

Lovely curry, staff are great, will definitely visit again, Wasim made me feel extremely welcome, 5⭐

There are many reasons to visit the delightful market town of Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire tucked between the Clee Hills and the Wyre Forest, surrounded by panoramic views and wonderful walks. However you spend your time here, make sure you do not leave without visiting Spice Empire. Situated on the High St and having undergone a full refurbishment in October 2020 it is an absolute gem. A firm favourite for some time, our first visit following the re-opening was as good as ever with an absolutely delicious meal. A warm welcome is extended to everyone whether you are trying it for the first time or are one of the many regular diners. With wonderful, freshly cooked food and top notch service, it is a delightful way to spend an evening or spoil yourself with the ‘all you can eat’ Sunday buffet. Fully licensed with a well-stocked bar so no need to mess around sourcing your own drinks. Family owned and managed, Wasim and his team go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. Can’t decide what to eat? No worries tell your waiter your likes and dislikes and he will recommend something to delight your tastebuds. I guarantee after one visit you will want to return again and again to sample the friendly atmosphere and all the delightful food on offer.

Went to the grand opening following the full refurbishment of the main restaurant during lockdown. Well what can I say but WOW...... the place looks spectacular from the outside in. The whole team have their mojo back and are obviously very pleased with the changes. The menu has been amended and boy is it difficult to choose what to have. The meals are excellent, tried a couple of the new dishes and they are to die for.

Tonight was the opening following a full refurbishment. The team at Spice Empire have worked tirelessly throughout lockdown to provide amazing meals to the local community. The interior is absolutely stunning and been done to a high standard. Food was AMAZING, probably the best curry we have had. The new menu is great and so much choice.The staff are so helpful and will give their own recommendations on meals. Thank you Wasim and team.

Enjoyed an excellent 3 course meal tonight. Just reopening after a full refurbishment with a new menu containing many old favorites and a good selection of new.Great to see old faces in new surroundings, we were very impressed with the decor and the many other improvements. Service was friendly and efficient. We tried 2 of the new dishes and each was well presented and very tasty. Highly recommended.

Had 2x curries both were very watered down the rice was rock solid in places and it took 1.5 hours to be delivered !!
