Spice Hut in South Northamptonshire

Have had 3 lovely meals at this restaurant, when evacuated for our caravan home. Friendly and informative staff, when we needed it, Butter chicken and lamb bhuna were to die for. Will definetly be going back again with friends and family. Lovely indian themed interior. top marks.

The whole dining experience was fantastic. Delicious food, excellent friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely return here as soon as possible. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We're NEVER disappointed when we eat here. Superb food, friendly helpful courteous people that always make us feel special. Having problems with my stomach spicewise but they will adjust the spices etc to lessen the heat or leave things out. We will definitely going back soon. Thank yoy Jai, Ali and your superb cook.

We visited as 3 couples early on a Sunday evening, the food was absolutely fantastic and the service was just excellent, highly recommend a visit, we will definitely be returning

So sad! We have been visiting this site for years both as the Spice Hut and, more lately, as the New Taj. We travel quite a distance to get there because the food has always been outstanding and the service friendly and attentive. Tonight may be the last time we ever visit. The service was up to its usual standard but the food was very disappointing. Decent starters, but our main course of Karachi chicken was way below the standard we have come to expect. The chicken was horribly overcooked, the dish was bland and swimming in oil. Such a shame that a place which we used to think of as a real treat was so disappointing.

A fabulous evening. Great food, really tasty and gorgeous presentation. Good beer, warm, friendly atmosphere, attentive staff. Excellent!

The service, the food and the ambience were first class. One of the best curry evenings we’ve experienced Thoroughly recommend this restaurant

I’ve been recommended to come here but I can’t remember who told me about it. Location is a bit odd, basically at a service station but it’s pleasant inside. Staff were lovely and attentive, really trying to promote their business. We were given complementary dishes and drinks. We had garlic bread each, pilau rice, two chicken tikka masala’s, drinks, onion bhajis, poppadoms with dips and it came to about £50 which in this day and age is reasonable value for an Indian. The food was up there with the best Indian I’ve had, really enjoyable. We will definitely eat here again! Give them a try.

First time at this gem of an Indian. There were 16 of us and the service was fantastic. All the food came out together and the orders were perfect. The food was so fresh and beautifully presented. We will definitely be back (a lot!)

On a long business journey and was going to buy a sandwich in the adjacent garage when I spotted this restaurant. And was I glad that I did! I did not have much time so was delighted when the simple Balti arrived together with excellent pillau rice. The whole place was spotless, the plates and food piping hot with very efficient service. What a delightful surprise to find such tasty food and pleasant surrounds in a roadside diner. A real example to other such diners and only sad that I live too far away to make a return visit.

I ordered food for collection, so cannot comment on the dining-in experience, however, the polite reception I received upon arriving was very good and the food, wow, the food was very good. I'm quite keen on spicy food and The New Taj did not disappoint. I've had 'spicy' Indian food from various other establishments in and around this area, before, and have always been disappointed by the lack of spice/flavour in dishes, not from here, it was full of flavour, full of spice and needed no additional seasoning. I shall be ordering again, very shortly and possibly dining in, now that I've found a place that lives up to my expectations. Top notch!

Not been for a while & it has had a name change. Went in the week so quieter, but excellent service & hardly any wait for our food. Will be going back.

Visit here once in a while, when not to busy with work and it has taken new management recently food today was lovely new menu too worth a try been coming here years, at first was a bit worried for change but it’s a lovely place to eat

Great service and amazing food! Second time coming since the new chef arrived and the whole experience is perfect. The food is so fresh and tasty - everything was presented beautifully and nicely spiced. The staff were lovely with the kids and spent time to come over and make you feel welcome. Would highly recommend!

Very good restaurant we use it frequently our friends come down from Luton just to go there they say its the best restaurant between Luton and Milton Keynes

Phone once to ask a question and now bombarded with marketing texts. Have asked 8 times for them to stop and still they keep texting. Leave me the heck alone!! I'll never eat here now as you have peed me off

Food 5, atmosphere 5 staff are very friendly 5. Food was mouth touching. Specially tandoori mix grill was excellent. Very warm welcome

Food was absolutely superb. Service fantastic. Very welcoming staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a quality Indian meal. Love it

Good Food Good service Good environment Delicious food well presented. All staff are very friendly. Food was mouth touch, I strongly recommend. Value of money

Staff friendly and attentive, food very good. The nawabi dish was a great blend of spices, ingredients were fresh and dish freshly prepared. Naan bread was light in texture and served lovely and hot. A great place to take the family.

Great food, good value for money and wonderful staff. Tried this for the first time and weren't disappointed. We walked from Deanshanger to the restaurant and the road is a little precarious, its ok when dry but if wet could be dodgy as cars fly...

Excellent food and service Abdul and Anwar the chef. We had the King prawn Jefrezzi and lamb. Delicious. Will be returning as is local. Highly recommended.

This restaurant deserves to be busier, the food is great and the people friendly and so welcoming. We have been coming here whilst infrequently for 7 years and the owners always welcome us back and remember us. We have had Indian food all over Milton...

Excellent food, Food was late but very tasty. So we don’t mind, my kids enjoyed a lot. Manager is so kind.

It was a great experience with good food, great music and the service was fantastic. They have a good range of favourites to choose from on the Sunday Buffet menu.

We haven't visited this restaurant for several months, but now under new management the food and service were wonderful. We will be back!

Great service, the friendly staff gave us a very warm welcome. Wonderful food, very tasty - we will be back!!!!

Lovely meal, warm welcome and good service. Great to meet the new chef and hear about his ambition for the place. Couldn't fault the food this evening – superb! Much classier than you might expect from outside appearance. A local gem!

Highly recommend….the team are charming, really fast service , the food taste great and is excellent quality and all in all amazing value.

Ordered some Indian food for home delivery. It was nice food, delivered on time and with a smile. Everything was hot too (temperature)

Lovely lamb and chicken dishes full of flavour very fresh and tasty delivery was good thank you to your new chef will be visiting you soon

Tried the Spice Hut again after about a year, there is new owners and the food and service couldn't have been better, one of the waiters Evan went to the local shop to get some banana's for my dessert, we will be back!

Nothing to fault, food was really tasty & service excellent. My nan was born & raised in India she would have approved

If still isn’t here after 1.5 hrs- I have phoned 3 times and they said no driver and hung up on me. Appalling

Very average Indian. The dishes were very greasy and mostly vegetables. The Okra in particular was poor - very mushy.

Delivery was late, the driver couldn’t find the doorbell when he arrived even though it’s right next to the door. The biriyani had an omelette and potatoes in it. The rogan josh was 6 small pieces of meat and about 10 chunks of tomato. The food was not tasty at all, very bland.

Once again outstanding food and service! Food piping hot and delicious.

Really good food. With friendly quick service.

Unfortunately on this occasion the quality of the food was not up to its usual standard. Watery curry, about 3 prawns in another dish. Request for masala sauce ignored.

Food was really good, very fresh tasting. Friendly delivery guy was a bonus.

Best indian restaurant in MK. exellent food quality with fresh ingredients. highly recommended.

Would order again and again and again

Have tried the Sunday speicial and during the week and this is now our favourite restaruant for meals the taste is exeptional they have a variety of differently spiced meals all of the ones I and my family have tried are good. We have made...

Fantastic food, polite and friendly service

I’ve eaten in some very good Indian restaurants,and this one is right up there at the top of the pile !!!!! The meal I had last night was as good as it gets and I will enjoy my next visit. The service was first class...

Good food for the money, friendly on-time delivery

Amazing food, excellent service and made my evening so much easier.

Will continue to order from them.

Just ordered from The Spice Hut again - I keep coming back to them. We have a lot of Indian restaurants locally and I have tried many. But for the few years since I started ordering from them, The Spice Hut outshine them all, for value for money, delicious food, friendly staff and variety. Their Chicken Shatkora is one of my favourites, but every dish I've tried in the chefs recommendations section have been delicious.

Just so glad they are open again as they are the best Indian around

Took a while to be delivered, over an hour but food was hot and very tasty, our favourite Indian takeaway

Been told order has been delivered when we queried where it was 1.5 hours after it was due. Restaurant now not answering the phone. Still waiting for our food, children hungry and way past their bedtime!

Fantastic tasty food as always ... well done

This is usually my favourite Takeout, unfortunately tonight the food was quite poor compared to what it is usually like. I’m not sure if there is a different chef during the week versus the weekend? But tonight the food was very bland. My chicken tikka Bhuna didn’t taste anything like what a bhuna is meant to taste like! The chicken tikka tasted chewy and old. The sauce was very very bland and didn’t have any peppers. The onion baji was very oily. The chicken tikka main dish tasted like it had been microwaved. I feel bad leaving this review as the food is usually amazing! I’m hoping it was just an off night and will try them again one more time.

Amazing food- usually great every time!

Absolutely amazing as per usual

OMG I live In Stony were there are LOADS of Indians so do not often venture out for a curry. BUT I've been totally swayed. This was quite possibly the best Indian I've had in a LONG time. Staff are amazing, and the food was...

Great service and food ... would recommend

Lovely food ... Great service from friendly staff ... well done

We having been going for a while now and found, even the buffet on a Sunday is the same standard as a normal night!! Few things iv never had before with a twist, very flavoursome!! staff are also very friendly and helpful, and its beautifully clean, with sanitiser and space in place. From the outside it looks fairly ordinary, but try it as its a lovely little restaurant!

To tired to go out.ordered through just eat superb service will do it again A1

The food as usual was delicious.

Unfortunately the vegetable vindaloo had loads of mushrooms in it despite putting a clear note on the order. Unfortunately it had to be thrown away as my daughter can not eat mushrooms. Rang the restaurant who said a refund would be given through this site

We have never had a bad meal here, staff are always friendly and efficient. Food is amazing and never disappoints. Would recommend and don’t be put off by the outside. Step in and enjoy.

Quoted 40min for delivery, actual delivery around 1hr 30. If you are busy then quote a realistic delivery time up front so people can make an informed choice, don't extend the order time after they have ordered

Food booked for 21.05, arrived shortly after ordering at about 19.30

Excellent service and very friendly. Food is delicious, will only order and eat-in here.

Great service, great food, recommended

Brilliant service, lovely food. Arrived very quickly, and very hot too :) Can 100% recommend.

Really nice food and would certainly order from here again. We had a lovely meal. Many thanks!

Great food from spicehut as per normal.

Excellent Service and beautiful tasty food as always

An outstanding meal that was enjoyed by all. Well done Spice Hut.

Amazing food, will order again soon!

Brilliant meal it was half hour late but due to the situation we are currently in I understand how busy they are and the driver apologized

Outstanding food, odd location. Incredibly good food with very attentive service. It really is an odd location and building but well worth ignoring all that because of the quality of the food.

Delicious Sunday buffet (order from menu) delicious, hot and great service.You can chose from approx 8 starters but poppadoms are extra and we enjoyed a mixed selection.Main course has lots of options including prawn dishes, and a range of English meals.Vegetable side dishes, selection of naan and rice options.Dessert is a small ice-cream.As a table of 4 with 3 adults and 1 child we had:Selection of startersChicken tikka masala Chicken biryani Prawn dhansakLamb rogan Josh Mushroom bhaji Saag alooChicken omelette X4 NanThe food was hot, plentiful and the staff were pleasant.£10.95 for adults £6.95 for children

Delicious food, really really good. Standard is ehhhhh, dishes are good. Sea food is a No No but the place serves lamb. Be careful though... ;)

Visited with family (one of whom is Indian) on the basis of its above-average TripAdvisor reviews. Location is not promising - it appears to be an ex-Little Chef or Happy Eater next to filling station on a stretch of A-road about three miles outside the north-western sectors of Milton Keynes. But please don't let that put you off!We had Sunday lunch for a fixed £10.95 per head (half price for kids). It was billed as a 'buffet' but wasn't one in the traditional sense - there were no dishes out on warming trays, no drying-out meats, curdling curries or skinning-over sauces. Instead you order what you want from a generous menu of all the "usual suspects" of northern Indian cuisine - tandooris, biryianis, curries etc - together with starters, vegetable sides and rice/naan etc. Then there's a short wait while it's freshly cooked (with the accent on freshly - it was clear to us from the bright flavours that nothing had been hanging about in the kitchen). Then you eat what's brought to you. And when you finish, you're invited to order further dishes - a fair and clever concept (not to mention environmentally friendly and ethical) that allows people to experiment and share dishes but prevents needless food wastage and outright greed by eyes-bigger-than-belly customers.Four of us had different starters, all excellent - bhajis, sheek kebab, samosas etc. Pappadums/pickles are extra but frankly you don't need them. All our starters were nicely presented and well seasoned, with thoughtful and tasty extras like fried onion and pepper strips with the juicy sheek kebabs.Our mains were a mix of chicken and lamb dishes, some from the tandoor. Meat was perfectly cooked, properly spiced and tender. Sides were good, the Peshwari naan outstanding.Drinks, desserts and coffee/tea are all extra but we walked away with a bill of just £63 including service for four adults (including three desserts and a coffee), reflecting the fact that beer and soft drinks are not heavily marked up to offset the low all-in lunch price.The room is bright, clean and stylish with a modern Indian vibe. Staff are professional, efficient and friendly. There were other Asian customers, too, so I'd guess the cooking is pretty authentic. And it's child-friendly - we had a two-year-old and a baby of six months with us, whose buggies they were pleased to accommodate, and there were other families with kids there.All in all, a very satisfying experience at a very reasonable price. We all agreed that we'd happily return, either for the non-buffet 'Sunday buffet lunch' or an a la carte evening meal.

The food is really very very good. I rarely eat anything but prawns or chicken in an Indian but this restaurant serves the best lamb dishes. All the food is freshly cooked, you can really tell the difference. The service is first rate, a nice atmosphere in the restaurant too. The chicken and lamb rezalla is very good but I haven’t had a bad meal ever since eating here after finding this restaurant by accident. The ingredients listed are actually what is in the dishes too. Once you have tried this place you won’t go anywhere else. I used to take advantage of their delivery service but now live out of the area but still go once a week to collect my takeaway. I have spent many years eating Indian food all over the country and this is one of the best if not the best ever.

Lovely food amazing delivery driver

Very good. I rang to see if they could deliver earlier then time given and they did

Delicious food-less greasy than most Indians however still has a beautiful flavour. Excellent service. Would recommend the panir chilli and chicken Jamal sylhet if you like it hot!

What a fabulous find. Food is first class. EVERYTHING is cooked from fresh and you can taste the difference between the food of this establishment and their competitors in Buckingham and MK.The staff are so pleasant. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant where the staff are so friendly. I highly recommend this restaurantTen out T

Food is always amazing, wouldn’t order from any other Indian

It was absolutely cracking, the food was delicious I would definitely recommend to anyone that’s near by!
