Spice Hut in Rochford

Great people. 2 of 4 of our dishes weren't that nice. But could be down to personal preference. Apart from that always reliably good.

Have used the Spice Hut for a good few years but thought it worth renewing our review Excellent curry, big portions, lots of food, great value for money Had a lovely chicken balti with extra chilli tonight. Was amazing! Special mention to the excellent staff too, always polite and helpful too, nothing too much trouble The only curry takeaway I ever use. Don’t hesitate!

As someone who was born and brought up in India, I know Indian food, and, when it’s good. We have been getting our Indian take away from The Dpuce Hut, Rawreth Lane, Rayleigh. We are at the moment working our way through their quite amazing menu. Yes there are times when it gets a little wrong, but, once told about the mistake they resolve the matter as soon as is possible. We have actually discovered that the take away from the Spice Hut is actually tastier than some of the more expensive Restaurants we have been to. It’s Friday/Saturday night, you want to relax with a great meal, you will not get better than a take away from The Spice Hut Rayleigh. My only regret is, they don’t have any of the numerous Indian sweets that would make the finish to my evening meal. Enjoy your Spuce Hut experience.

This used to be the best takeaway, but has been going downhill over the last few months. Possibly a victim of their own success, but still no excuse to regularly drop standards. Portions have consistently been getting smaller, the last meal my main course had 4 small pieces of chicken, less then a starter size. Sauces were missing, garlic naan with no garlic and most dishes either too hot or lacking in flavour. Emailed them directly and not even had the curtesy of a response. Given how much money and custom they have received from me over the years, that's a pretty poor show and sums up their decline. Won't be returning and disappointing to lose a valued customer

Great takeaway. Food REALLY good and very reasonably priced.

Always on form. Highly recommend this place. Excellent food and service at a fair price. Never had a bad meal. An excellent takeaway.

Excellent takeaway meal. Very tasty food. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone wanting a good Indian meal.

Great people. Great service. Best Indian takeaway in this area 👍🏼

First time using spice hut, was recommended by a friend…..omg it was prob one of the best we have had! Easy to order online, quick delivery, food amazing! Will def use spice hut again. Thank you xx

Well, I’ve ordered here a few times bow and I can say tonight was outstanding! Their bangla shatkora is to die for, so flavoursome. If you haven’t tried already you must! Thank you spice hut keep up the good work x

Just had our first meal from the Spice Hut, on time hot and absolutely delicious thanks 😊 guys.

Awful! I've had better supermarket curries than this. Bland and tasted like it's been cooked in microwave. The nan bread was raw even the mango chutney tasted like mud! A waste of £40 as most of it went in the bin.

Just finished our takeaway and it was better than ever. I always have Chicken Tikka Masala which was lovely but my partner tried Chicken Tikka Sylhety Jalfrezi which he said was the best meal he had had for a long time. We have never had a bad meal from Spice Hut but tonights was awesome. Thank you.

Beautiful food and lovely friendly staff too.

Been using Spice hut since it opened and have never been disappointed. Fantastic food and great service

We moved into the area few months ago and have been eating in and out every week. This was by far the best Indian we’ve had.

Came across this one by accident in a way. The takeaway I usually use is closed on a Monday so, as I was passing Spice Hut anyway, I thought I'd give it a go. Very pleased that I did as I've been here four times now and every time the food has been consistantly excellent. I guess the best thing I can say is that I haven't gone back to my usual place since finding Spice Hut.

What on earth has happened to my favourite takeaway. The food is soooooooo spicy you can’t even taste what you’re eating. Family friends always come to me for a takeaway as it was so good the best around. Now I’m going to have to eat fish and chips ! I have told you on the phone how spicy it all is and was told we’ll order mild. Did that still terribly spicy. It’s nit good. Only reason of two stars as delivery is fabulous and staff are so lovely. Food though for the last four orders (kept trying to see if just a bad night) is not for any of us. Please go back. Pretty please !! ;)

A friend introduced me to the Spice Hut takeaway around 7 months ago and I was so impressed with the food I had to go back. I now use the takeaway regularly and the food has never been poor or below standard. The staff are always polite and reliable even when the takeaway is busy and they are clearly rushed off their feet. Price is also reasonable, so if you like a good ruby murray you can’t go wrong with the Spice Hut. Strongly recommend to everyone.

We used the Spice Hut takeaway for the first time last night. All the food we ordered was delicious and the delivery service was first class. The order arrived spot on time by a very friendly courier. I would recommend to everyone.

A long delay getting food but once received it was very good. Need to be more realistic with pickup times.

Our first time of ordering a takeaway from Spice Hut. Definitely not our last! The food was incredible, superbly spiced, well cooked and with inspired ingredients not usually included. My Murgh chilli had lots of chilli heat, just perfect. My partner's dish had diced Bangaladeshi limes, so good! Lemon rice was a level up from the boiled rice with a few bits of lemon on top. This lemon rice was fluffy, full of lemon flavour and other ingredients that made it special. Highly recommend Spice Hut.

Never had a bad experience or meal. Dont order very often but always hot, fresh, very tasty food and quick service, collection or delivery.

Loved this balti. Chicken was so tender and juicy. Very impressed with all the dishes we ordered. Definitely back again soon!

great food the best around for miles. great service and roxanne has great customer service skills🙂🙂

Best Indian takeaway/not sit in, in rayleigh

We have used Spice Hut since they opened their doors. Their food has never faltered and the taste is like no other. Having lived all my life in the East End I was used to authentic indian food. How glad we were when we found a takeaway on our doorstep cooking food that tasted the same.

I made a very silly mistake and accidentally put through 2 indian food orders, each from a different indian takeaway (!) - one being spice hut. I explained what had happened and the lady that delivered our food was very helpful and understanding and she dealt with the problem quickly. They allowed us to pay for our order over the phone as we didn't have any cash, couldn't fault the customer service. Food from this place is really good too. Apologies for any inconvenience caused!! Will be returning in future.

What an incredible restaurant. Our first meal from here for a few years. Can’t wait for the next. The popadoms are incredible. The curry full of flavour. The nans are fluffy. Perfect!

Just had to comment after the food we had yesterday. Ordered over the phone just before 18:00 told there would be a 45 min wait - absolutely fine no issues with that..........18:20 food arrived 👍😳. Have to say one of the tastiest curries eaten in ages 👏🏻. Shatkora was spicy but had taste, the mixed tikka korai 👍, samosas, Nan, bhajis all brilliant. Lovely fresh flavours with sauces that were not heavy or gloopy - thoroughly enjoyed the experience so may just have to work through the menu😜

Best Indian takeaway in Rayleigh. Never had a bad meal from them. Fantastic food. Have always used them since they opened in Rayleigh. 5 star service

Have been using this takeaway for some time now,and have always been impressed by the cuisine. Must admit that i have tried others locally, especially during lockdown,but you wont beat The Spice Hut.Please contact them directly instead of using Just Eat as it is affecting this excellent business & we can't let it fall by the wayside.

Best Indian Takeaway in Rayleigh! Have used Spice Hut since moving back to the area and continued despite them no longer using Just Eat. The food arrives quickly and is delicious. Definitely recommend 🌟🌟

This is the best for Indian take away food. Every dish I have ordered has been delicious,but my benchmark is a sag bhajee - perfect. Always deliver on time, the one occassion they couldn't I had a personal letter of apology. Such service is brilliant but the food speaks for itself. Highly reccommend.

We are lucky enough to have Spice Hut as our local Indian take away. We’ve lived close by for over a decade now and have tried many take aways in that time, but always end up returning to Spice Hut. Can’t beat it. Food is lovely and they are always very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Best around quality food.ordered special mixed jalfrazi large portion.tender lamb and chicken in great sauce. Wife had tandoori chicken chaslick. Great little takeaway.

We live within a very short walk of the spice hut. We have been using them for years but recently become disappointed with the quality recently. Upon ordering a meal subtle changes to the menu - 3 onion barges, instead of 4 and now having to pay for dips all minor things but enough for me now to decide not to order and to move to another take away. - So this is a general negative but not a specific review regarding a meal that evening.For whatever reason this has been done it appears penny pinching and squeezing the last penny out of the customer. We went to the Chutney Club in Hockley which I wil write a seperate review on. It was night and day regards quality and £53 lost by the spice hut and a regulary customer gone for a few pennies extra in profit.

Food not that good mushy rice Bombay potatoes salty don't send. Salad with take away had better

Never had a poor meal during the previous dozen or so orders but boiled rice was very watery, tiny portion of chicken in the £7.25 Murgh Chilli Chicken and the Naan bread was a joke-probably a third of the normal size, ~5” diameter, doughy and undercooked. 25mins late, 1hr:35m for delivery but perhaps understandable in current climate- no criticism for that but really dropped the ball with the Chicken dish, rice and Naan. Other dishes were acceptable, no complaints there. Shame :(

Nice food delivered on time. Use the Spice Hut regularly

Best take away we have had in ages will definitely be going back again

Was our ‘go to’ Indian takeaway for years but last 2 or 3 orders have been really really poor, not sure what has happened, change of chefs? Produce? Chicken seems poor quality as does the lamb dishes. Avoid.

Food was cold and they sent a wrong dish, was passed around when rang to complain. They did send another dish, food lacked flavour and heat

Food did arrive late 🙄 but to be honest it doesn't matter as the food is so good , was my first time but definitely not last 👍

First order after many years. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps not as big a portion as some other places but quality just as good.

Probably the best indian takerway in essex

A very enjoyable curry. The vindaloo heat level was exactly what I wanted - very hot!! 🥵👍.

I have ordered here a few times now and will order again as the food is better than most places I have tried. Only bad thing is that the chicken pakora was really dry.

Food was very good and hot when it was delivered.

Always a good meal from Spice Hut, food is delicious, service incredible and the delivery is always quicker than estimated! Would recommend!

Super fast delivery, even on a busy Saturday night!

Great food and prompt delivery.

Was one hour to early. Delivery lady offered to take it back but we declined thinking the same food would be returned one hour later after being kept warm.

A quicker than expected delivery and very tasty food. It’s not the first time we have ordered from Spice Hut and we will definitely be using them again.

Excellent food although the complimentary poppadoms were a bit soft suggesting they had been lying about a while

Food was cold, not even warm, not the same having to use a microwave for everything you've ordered . Arrived 15 minutes late, which is not the end of the world, however with an original delivery time of 1hr 10 mins, it was enough. The Bhuna was below average, probably the worst i've had from any Indian in the local area. I probably wont order from here again, which is a shame as we've had a lot of good meals from here in the past.

But it was New Year's Eve, so kind of understandable!

I always buy from spice hut, they’ve never failed On delivering a hot, flavourful and delicious curry. Puts most other take away places I’ve tried to shame, they just don’t compare. Thanks guys! Happy new year!

Best indian takeaway in the rayleigh area..

Always had nice food from here but this time it was lukewarm at best. Didnt have time to wait for another delivery due to kids needing to eat so ended up microwaving it.

Amazing food with great veggie options

Did not taste good disputing as we were looking forward for the food and it was cold as well

First time user. Will use again 😋

The food quality was nice, however it did arrive late and some of the dishes were cold and had to be heated up again. I imagine my order was sitting on a table for quite a while before they actually sent it out for delivery. Still tasted good when I re-heated it so not end of the world.

Once again the bottle of drink forgotten so the driver toddled off to get it from the restaurant while we sat and ate our food with a glass of water each. Why is it so difficult to get an order right? I’m not asking for someone to perform open heart surgery, just to check the order and bring us what we paid for.

The best Indian takeaway in Rayleigh, honestly the nicest people and always great food. Service is outstanding- turned up half an hour early! Will definitely return.

Traffic bad around area so was late but was fine as food delicious

After previously giving a miss for a while, food is very much back up to standard. Spot on, very good.

This really is the best Indian Take-Away in and around Rayleigh, every time I order, I order something different as just cant seem to find a dish that isnt wonderful ! This place needs some awards for how good it is !

Good food as always never let’s us down and on time Well done spice hut 👍👍👍

Got a leaflet with £10 off so decided to give it a go, especially considering how well reviewed it was. The take away seems really well run. Fast efficient service, well organised. From the 5 minutes I was in the take away I lost count of the number of delivery drivers coming in and out. So they seem to be doing something right. The food seems fairly priced, portions are generous. The food was nice but nothing special. Mixed starter and chicken tikka masala were both about what you'd expect from an Indian takeaway. Lamb anahari was a new dish for us and was a little disappointing. I wouldn't be against using again but at the same time won't be rushing back

Another great meal from Spice Hut! Thank you x

Another top notch Indian from spice hut. Never fail to provide lovely food.

Absolutely beautiful food. Chicken was moist and I have 0 complaints about it. Would highly recommend

Food was lovely as always but I had requested it to be delivered at 7pm because that’s when I would be home. It came at 6.40. Spice Hut please take note of when people want their takeaway delivered! They request that time for a reason! No one wants cold curry!

Great food delivered hot and quick.

Too watery. Very funny curry that lacked flavour. Chat puree was not very nice either. Poppadoms were stale

Great meal as always! Never go anywhere else

The order was late and although it was only 20 minutes the food was barely warm. We had to reheat it in the microwave before we ate it. This has happened on 2 occasions now.

We have been coming here for a lot of years. Recently the food is not what is was. Very poor. We will no longer be going there, to The Spice Hut. Threw it away.

My order was late so rang. Got told my order has got lost somewhere and they will cook a fresh batch and deliver immediately. The girl was really apologetic and I understand as this is an extremely busy restaurant and never had any problems before as a fairly regular customer. The delivery lady was also so apologetic and sincere which made up for the hiccup. Thanks.

Very nice takeaway but add-on service charges and credit card fees are now making Just Eat expensive and uncompetitive. Getting greedy?

Lovely hot food delivered early. What more could you want

Great food overall, still far too much sugar in the Dhansak though. Sort this out and will be perfect.

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Delivered hot and ahead of time. Definitely will use again :)

Good food as always great service and friendly staff What more could you wont on a Friday night Jim

Recently moved to the area and my partner is fussy about his curry - it is the best we have had since we moved here and the best from any of the just eat restaurants so far! Food was amazing and the price really reasonably too! Will use again.

Food was tasty but the order was hot, and usually is nice and hot. So was a little disappointed

Food was delivered very quick and nice and hot! All the food was tasty as well was very impressed.

Samoa, s taistless but everything else good

unfortunately my meal really wasn’t great, the coconut rice tasted way too sweet, as if boiled rice had a load of coconut powder thrown on top. the mains itself was so dry too, really unappetising meal. also arrived quite cold

Has become my go-to takeaway in recent months. Every single dish is of the highest quality you can get. Always spot on.

This is a take-away restaurant ONLY, stating FREE delivery over £12.00. So when people are paying close on to £25 why the need for £1 delivery fee, plus service charge- not impressed, just lost another customer.

It was only late by 10 mins but still took 1 hr 10 min

Always satisfied with spice hut! 😍

Food was of a very high standard and arrived 20 minutes early which was nice. Delivery girl was also easy on the eye!

Food always pretty good. But other week and again this week food was missing. Once we had rice missing. So we phone and they deliver it sep but obvs bit late by then. As compo few popadoms but no sauce. This week main meal missing, so i sit waiting while the family eat. As compo another couple popadoms. Wow. Not at all happy. Searched facebook and looks like I've moaned about this few times over the last few years. I wont be using them again.

Fantastic food, nice and hot when delivered 👍

My last dhansak was way too sweet, this one was way too salty, I couldn’t even finish it. Long term customer but going elsewhere next time :(

Forgot to change my old address but it was no problem for the driver he rang me and delivered to my new address excellent service
