Spice India in Dumfries & Galloway

Wow, the food was fantastic 😋 the ladies that service are brilliant, would definitely recommend 😀 and you are allowed to take your furbaby in.

Not good. £41 for two lamb bhunas, two rice and one garlic naan to carry out! You just cannot justify the price for the very underwhelming food. We collected our order on a Tues around 5.30pm and we were very much looking forward to eating one of our favourite cuisines without having to cook it ourselves, especially as it was my birthday! When we got it home, the vegetable rice was actually boiled rice with frozen veg which you get in a supermarket. They charged us just under £10 for two portions, we could have made that ourselves at a fraction of the price! The lamb bhuna was thick and gloopy and you could tell it had been reheated. No signs of cooking or smells coming from the kitchen either upon collection. Just a shame this is the only Indian in Moffat, there are far more superior Indian restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway. We won't be back!

I’ve eaten a lot, I mean a lot of Indian food over the years, but rarely to I review a restaurant. This place deserves a review and moreover, you, the reader of this review deserve a brilliant curry. The owners are funny and friendly. Great Punjabi food, made with fresh ingredients. If you like it hot, tell them, they won’t disappoint you. I recommend the Keema Rice as an accompaniment to your meal. This is the best and freshest I’ve ever had.

Had a takeaway from Spice India. I requested a slight change to the recipe and I was not disappointed. Excellent dish and piping hot. I've had food from here quite a number of times and every dish has been superb. Raj and her staff were both friendly and attentive. I most definitely recommend this restaurant.

Chicken was tough, like it had been rapidly defrosted then fried. There was a strange taste to the meal. It tasted old, not good at all.

Picked up a takeaway on my way home, first time trying here, but won't be our last! Excellent curries, and somehow even better naan. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome and delicious food. Excellent menu and selection of Indian beers. Reasonable prices. Definitely recommend Spice India

Great customer service and truly lovely food. We had a chicken passanda, chicken chesni, pilau rice and peshawari nan, delivered and hot. Best Indian food I have had in a long time.

We’re staying at the caravan site down the road and had been watching footy in the Star Bar, which is across the road from Spice India. After reading mixed reviews, we decided to sit in to save on washing up at the caravan. Restaurant was quiet at first, but filled up and there were plenty of people getting takeaways. We received super friendly service from waitress Teagan and the lady at the front counter was fabulous. We ordered a curry to share, which was chicken tikka special bhoona (requested medium rather than hot, which was perfect heat wise) and was honestly one of the BEST CURRIES we’ve had in a long time! Keema rice to share was delicious. Requested a saag aloo side to share, which wasn’t on the menu but they were more than happy to make and the highlight was the shared garlic and cheese naan - which we saw people have mentioned in previous reviews - oh my word, this was AMAZING! For a couple in our Forty’s, this was plenty of food for the pair of us. With a large Kingfisher beer and Coke, the bill came to £39 which we thought was great. If you’re sitting on the fence on whether to give this place a go due to other reviews, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed and we shall definitely return on our next visit to Moffat.

Indian food is to be found all over Scotland, so there is plenty of incentive to maintain high standards. Although quite ‘ok’, Spice India did not quite measure up to expectations. The restaurant has a decidedly ‘down-market’ feel, with red paper tablecloths and rather nondescript décor. Despite some rather negative reviews here, I did find the staff to be pleasant and helpful. The food was good in parts, but had a suspiciously ‘reheated’ feel. I ordered onion bhaji which was a tasty though slightly chewy, and it came with a minimal amount of just one reddish chutney – can’t really say what was in it. My mains of palak paneer was excellent, with a fine spice blend and a generous portion. But the peshwari naan that came with it was a disappointment. It too was leathery and hard to cut, without any of the bubbly yeasty lightness of a fresh naan. And the filling was way too sweet for my taste, almost obliterrating any trace of fruity nuttiness. There were few customers on a gorgeous summer evening. Maybe the deficiencies of the food offering reflected this - or vice versa.

Wow what an absolute fantastic curry We had the set meal for 2 Chicken mild curry and a chicken madras It came with poppadoms +dips Mixed pakora rice and nan Massive portions well worth £29.95

Ordered fresh food to be collected around 9pm. Upon opening pizza looked lovely and golden however it was uncooked dough in the middle and only the perimeter would have been edible if you dared. The onion bhaji smelled and looked like a fried onion sock. It was disgusting. The food was honestly inedible. I have never experienced anything like it and at £22 for 1 small pizza and chips and the onion bhaji you would be best eating a bowl of weetabix.

Lovely little Indian with great food, great service, and friendly staff.

We had a lovely takeaway here on a recent holiday. The food was very fresh, hot and tasty. The paneer pakora was delicious. It was more expensive than our usual takeaway but it was worth it.

The chicken vindaloo & veg madras was very tasty but these were extremely hotter than most Indians we’ve visited around the uk unfortunately both dishes were far too hot we couldn’t finish them we were looking forward to this restaurant / takeaway as we were wild camping 22 miles away the price was more than the average & we had to throw most of it away the nan bread is big soft & tasty

Very good tasty food, the lamb was especially tender. Although the restaurant is in a basement and simply laid out, the food was so good.

Very nice and tasty food, very friendly staff 5 out of 5

Amazing food, great service and fantastic value. What's not to like?

A little disappointed and A tad expensive.

Get take aways. Good quality food. Prices are probably higher that what they should be. Relatively quick at getting order out.

Ordered a carryout paid top dollar to when meal arrived the meals were stone cold and not very good considering price paid won,t be back

very disappointed! i was starving after long hike on Grey mare’s trail. found this restaurant on my way to back home. order 2 beef burger 1 fries and 2 cola. Paid 17£ when i opened the box found Hard petty with dry dun no scouse and fries was the same. waste of money.

Best curry since we left Yorkshire 7 years ago! Highly recommend. Worth the £.

Nice food & polite staff, happy to find a Halal Menu in Moffat

We've this evening enjoyed the most amazing meal at Spice India, Moffat. We ate the Karahi with chicken and the Jaipuri with lamb, along with pilau rice, a tandoori chapati and a garlic/coriander naan; generous sized portions and extremely tasty. The restaurant is dog friendly, which is a bonus .. thank you for the complimentary dog treats. Highly recommended.

Another visit great food. Great service. Really enjoyed my visit. Jaipur curry was amazing. Garlic naan was delicious

Food and service was amazing, Raj and her team were super efficient. Bonus - it's dog friendly so our pooch also had a lovely time. Reasonably priced as well

I wasn’t expecting much based on some of the reviews, but I was really impressed. We ordered Kajoo Masala ChickenTikka and Dharoo Brandy Lamb and both dishes were superb. Very flavoursome and excellent quality. I’m fussy about my curries as I live near Bradford, but Spice India was excellent.

Appearances can be deceptive! Fairly basic decor but oh my, can they provide an excellent curry and extremely warm and welcoming service? The sauces and rices were splendid, we will revisit!

Had a lovely meal after a hard days enduro biking. Staff very friendly. Close enough to crawl in to my bed at the Buccleuch hotel across the road.

Dinner was delicious especially the lamb Rogan josh, and the tikka masala. The hostess couldn't do anything more she was very friendly, welcoming and treated us as family. We will definitely be back again and would recommend spice India to all.

Went there as party of 3 on Tuesday 19th of December. We were the only group in and we had a great time. The food was absolutely brilliant as was the service. The waitress was really friendly and enjoyed a bit of banter. Nothing was a problem at all. To cap it off, it was very reasonable. We'll definitely be back again and recommend Spice India if you're ever in Moffat .

Please don’t be like us and think Spice India is closed. It’s not on the 1st floor but down the steps below pavement height in the basement. We had a closer look on the 2nd and last night of our stay any by were we pleased we did. We went to request a table for 8.30pm. The lovely lady said it wouldn’t be a problem at this time of year and just call in when we were ready. We got there little after half 8 after having a few drinks locally and were shown to a nice seat. We were offered drinks as soon as our butts were on the seats, and given the menus. There was 2 Cobra’s there in a crack, followed shortly by the lovely lass to take our order. I had, chicken tikka madras, spicy pilau rice, cheese and onion naan. Followed by a nice little ice cream sundae. My wife went for chicken bhuna, keema pilau rice and keema naan and we also added a raitha. We didn’t have long to wait before it was served up, good hot and very very tasty. I’d go so far as to say, it was one of the best Indians we’d ever had. My wife said she’d never ever had chicken as lovely and tender and as tasty as that was. We were both very impressed and will definitely call again next time we’re anywhere near. I had to loosen my belt a notch afterwards and was ready for a lie down. Lovely clean place and would definitely recommend.

Food...amazing! Portion... huge! Service... wonderful! Will be back for sure 😋

Couldn't fault the food or the service but the restaurant was freezing, could certainly do with some mobile heaters to warm the place up, might be fine in the summer but far too cold on a winters night.

Very disappointing food and not inexpensive . Never had to put on a coat before to eat in a restaurant

Poor quality food. Lacked depth of taste. Rice tasted batch made and curry tasted like it was from a jar. Too many cuisines = low quality.

Took our friends to Spice India for a meal. Great service, lovely food and their naan bread was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back next time we are in Moffat.

Just had the most amazing meal, poppadoms n chutneys (which nearly blew my head off lol), chicken bhuna, lamb balti, veg rice, bhajis. Staff really friendly. Would highly recommend. Thank you again. See you at Christmas 👍👍

Came to Moffat for weekend read the reviews so thought great love Indian food so booked a table for 2 , food was average we also asked for chip to be added to meal and 2 rice only 1 rice came no chips, once I reminded them I could see the boss lady had forgot to add them , they did offer but we where nearly finished our dinner so told them just to leave it, BUT my big complaint was the wine, we asked for a bottle of Rosa wine it came to the table but as soon as I poured it I realised it was low alcohol, said to my husband hope they are not charging me full price for low alcohol wine, at the end of our meal receipt came with charge for £15.95 for the bottle of wine I wasn’t happy as this Gallo wine is only £5 in most shops, that is some mark up on a bottle of wine , I did mention this to the lovely member of staff who I think did mention to her boss but nothing came back to us before we left, They had already broke the seal before brining to table aswell, just be aware if eating here check your bottle of wine before pouring

Fourth time here and fourth time a great Indian meal. So reasonably priced too. Highly recommended !

Food and place were stuck in the 1980s would never go back and it was totally over priced for the standard of food . My advice steer clear.

Got a takeaway for 4 adults while visiting Moffat . Portions were generous… all food was in the old style foil containers…. Curries in large oblong, sides in the smaller ones.3 curries between 4 and still plenty enough. Curries were distinctly original and full of natural ingredients and flavour. Biryani was one of the best I’ve tasted.Would definitely recommend this place for a takeaway .

Called in on the way back to caravan park to see if we could get a table. We were the only people in the restaurants (didn’t faze me as I’d done my research before visiting) Ordered a beer, a glass of Pinot and a jug of water followed by Popadoms and a Pickle Tray , Chicken Rogan Josh, Lamb Madras, onion rice and a garlic and cheese naan to share. The food was so tasty, absolutely stunning. This place is our number 2 in the world of Indian restaurants/food (just our opinion, but we have eaten in loads) Had to take some food away with us as the portion sizes were large Lovely lady waiting on, very attentive and friendly. good value for money. Love the little touch of the “Thankyou for supporting my small business”

We popped in here whilst out on the motorbikes. The food was nice and the staff were very chatty

Nice food, friendly staff, what more can you want!

Stayed overnight in Moffat on our way to Glencoe and decided to try Spice India. Food was fabulous and portion size amazing...we would recommend to anyone to try it you won't be disappointed!!!!

Food overall below average. Butter nan was good and the veg pula. Biriyani is the worst I ever tasted in my life, price compare to the quantity is not justifiable. 2 biriyani needed for a normal man to be sufficient. Price is is sky high. Tandoori mix platter was a joke menu says it is a plate of lamb and chicken and at the end you won’t find any lamb in the plate. Only chicken tandoori and a couple of chicken wings and they charge an extra 5 pounds for that platter than a normal tandoori platter. Ambience and the cleanliness is at a good level. Also make sure you have cash to eat or buy food as they don’t accept card which is strange. I suggest the restaurant team to try some real indian restaurants to understand the Indian food taste.

We had poppadoms to start which were very nice, freshly cooked and nice accompaniments. I ordered lamb madras for main but the chef screwed up and I ended up with chicken madras instead, I accepted it and actually it was very nice, albeit not very spicy. My wife ordered chicken balti which she really enjoyed. I ordered onion rice and chapati, both of which were excellent, particularly the chapati which my wife stole half of. All washed down with a large Cobra beer for me and several glasses of merlot for the wife, she said the wine was excellent. It doesn't look much from outside but we were both more than happy with the food, drink, service and pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely food and great service! Visited here with some friends on a weekend away and we all enjoyed the ambience and food. Staff were lovely and very efficient. Compliments to the chef!

The most amazing pizza! Super friendly and so so special food. If you trust reviews trust this. These people are among the best on earth and the food is equal. Literally made my year

Such lovely service from Raj, we came in quite late because we didn't realise everything in Moffat shut so early, she made sure we got our food, which was lovely, and let us borrow her bottle opener for the night. Made us feel really welcome and the food was the best we had in Moffat.

Whilst this place might not look much from the outside we orders take away from here and man, it’s possibly the nicest food I have had from an Indian take away in a long time. There was a bit of a wait past the time they indicted it would be ready, but hey it was the busy gala weekend. 6 of us all had different meals and we all to a person were delighted with the food. I would thoroughly recommend

Nice food. They were very busy. 30min wait, but worth the wait.

Congratulations you have got the accolade for the worst ever special Kebab l have EVER had, totally inedible, 3 pieces of Chicken and some burnt Doner meat, for £8.50 It’s got to be the biggest rip off in Southern Scotland, if that’s the best you can do, hold your head in shame and give up, totally disgusting and embarrassing, l should of realised when the order came out in about one minute 😡😡😡

We tried Google maps to find this place and still couldn’t find it and asked in a shop and they said next door wasn’t expecting it to be ground level down stairs

I had a takeaway ( garlic masala) and it was really really tasty. I’ll definitely be back for more.

This was our second visit to Spice India, with a group of friends, all who have been before,bar one newcomer. Just as last time, very friendly service, and totally excellent food. I can't recommend this place enough- the decor is simple and understated, but I think that is perfectly acceptable when the food is as good as it is. The one person who had never been before us a big fan of Indian food, and was very impressed too. I hope to have an excuse to call again at some time in the future.

Fantastic food. Pakora was fresh and tasty, curries were amazing. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Dog friendly also. Will definitely return.

Got a kebab on way home and it had horrible meat, it was over cooked, really thick for kebab meat and tasted cheap and nasty....pitta, sauce and salad fine so ended up binning meat and eating a salad kebab not good would not return

Changed my opinion on the food, therefore, I have awarded another star. This is because when you have a takeaway, you get bigger portions than sitting down. So we will, as you can imagine, be ordering out from now on. Why pay more for less!? Didn't like the Saag Aloo, it tasted of annaseed! Oh well, you live and learn! Liked the rest of it. Decided to give these guys a second chance, glad I did. Keep up the good work guys! 👍🏻🙏❤️🙏

Great food every dish was delicious. Amazing flavours and great value.

Lovely food. Great service. Every dish was delicious

Thanks to spice India for opening the restaurant for me late on. The food was prepared very fresh and tasty 5 star for food and service. I recommend the garlic masala Edited to 5 star. Thanks

Just had a set meal, it was 1 of the best Indians I have had, food was full of tasty spices, chicken was very tender and pakora sauce was very nice

Really friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing. Carefully prepared for us to take away. Piping hot and packed well. Did I mention how tasty it was 👌🏼😋

Thursday night. Told me they were short staffed when I ordered. Gotta say it was worth the wait. I could see the Chef working away in the kirtchen all stressed out but the naan bread was freshly cooked and the lamb korma very tasty.

We come regularly to caravan site in Moffat and always come to Spice India for a takeaway, food is exceptional, especially the cheese naan, 11 out of 10.

Had a nice take-away from here although Chicken Pakora was a bit tough and not the best. Chicken Jaipuri and Lamb Pasanda was excellent as was the Peshwari Rice and Garlic naan. Plenty of flavour and portions were good. A bit more expensive than the "usual" Indian take-aways but on the whole was worth it. Lady on the counter was very friendly and welcoming.

Best Indian food I have tasted in a long time! Served in aluminium containers too. PERFECT!

We enjoyed everything (apart from the weather) and the dahl which was a bit too thick and not much spice in it.

Ordered here as staying overnight in moffat and not any other options especially if you want non pub food. Ordered a lamb pathia that yes is a sweet and sour dish but came out like a store brought sweet and sour sauce without the pineapple. The colouring was completely different to any dish I have ever been served especially a pathia which is a dark brown usually. It was really sweet and not enjoyable. The meat some parts were good some were fatty and chewy. Also got a keema naan where the keema was very sparse throughout and again not like any I've ordered before. My partner got a lamb saag. Usually green from the spinach and a bit creamy unfortunately it came brown with specs of spinach through it and couldn't taste the spinach at all. Again many many Indians cuisines up a down the country and never had one that looked or tasted this way. Also the naans were thin and large (not really a bad thing) but the garlic nann you couldn't taste the garlic on it at all. All of this with 2 soggy poppadoms for £35 just seems like they are exploiting the lack of options in the area and serving sub standard food. I would advise if in the area to just go and choose a different restaurant and cuisine this one is not worth the money.

Absolutely brilliant. I had the hot vegetarian option Laheri. My Partner had the medium King Prawn Karahi. We absolutely loved the spicing . Portion was big. Lovely service as well. ❤️

Spent 2 nights at Moffat caravan site and decided on an Indian meal but reading some reviews, we were unsure of what to expect. However we were greeted by a lovely girl who was both helpful and friendly. She took our drinks and food order...

Lovely food, staff very friendly

Quality not what we expected after reading some of the reviews

Worth a detour from the M74 if you are hungry and love tasty Asian food served with a smile!

Lovely friendly staff, great freshly cooked food and plenty of it! We would come again. Worth the 1 mile detour off M74 if you are hungry and padding Moffat.

My brother and I were in the area travelling up to Edinburgh and being from Birmingham both wanted to try the local Indian cuisine. The service was brilliant and we were made to feel very welcome. The Mixed grills were sensational, very authentic Indian taste...

Called in on the off chance while staying in Moffat. Fantastic food, lovely staff, very reasonable price. Recommended.

Wow... Food was amazing, absolutely loved it very flavorful and plenty of it as well. Would absolutely recommend 👍

Always enjoy my take away plenty to eat always pleasent service

Nice food very friendly staff had an enjoyable evening with the bikers for a family evening out the decor could do with upgrading as it was guite dark and not inviting

We were greeted by a super friendly lady but unfortunately it went down hill from that point onwards. The curries we had were definitely not authentic and tasted awful. There was 3 pieces of meat in my curry that was bulked out with raw green peppers and onions. The rice was ok but the paratha was either brought in from a supermarket or reheated a few times to give it a hard crust! Such a shame as they're really easy to make. Such a shame:(

The food at Spice India is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. We are travelling Scotland and first time in one and half month we found a really good Indian restaurant with authentic Indian taste. I love the service at the place and the chef was very happy and friendly with the guests and he takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place. It’s a shame that we are going back to our home country and wouldn’t have another chance to go back there soon 😔 but the good thing, is we are taking some good memories with us ☺️

We have just had a takeaway from this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! It may not look much from the outside, but the food is 10/10 and the service from the staff was great. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fast food but disappointing - not the authentic taste of India I was hoping for. The waitress was the most proficient person there.

Happened across Spice India when we arrived late at the hotel next door and nowhere else open to eat. Quite basic place, but great menu and lovely waitress. Delicious vegetarian food, and served quickly. Great chapatis!

6 of us visited on Saturday night we were made very welcome and the young waitress was brilliant service was quick and efficient pity food was not the same food very disappointing very expensive and very underwhelming The only plus side we complained about one...

Amazing food, customised per the requirements. I am an Indian myself and had asked for an Indian authentic tea and My request was accepted even that being there in Menu. Very friendly staff well done

Hubs and I having a weekend self catering in Moffat...didn't feel like cooking tonight. This is the BEST Indian takeaway we have had in a long time! Seriously, if it was closer to home in Midlothian, it would be our new favourite. We will absolutely be using this place the next time we are here!

Ordered chicken madras and chicken chilli masala both looked at tasted very similar - main flavour was concentrated tomato not what I would expect. Poppadoms we’re not crisp. I will be very unlikely to visit this restaurant again.

Five middle-aged friends and I, from six separate households, had dinner at Spice India on the evening of Friday 17th September. The service was efficient and friendly, but all six of us concluded that it was the worst and least authentic Indian meal we had...

Asked for 2 kids meals one donner meat and the other chicken nuggets both came without drinks.. Aslo orderd kerera calzone what I never got I got a kerera curry instead and my partner got a burger that was horrible and it smelled funny won't be back again

We booked a table for dinner on a Monday night. We were first in at 7.30 but a table of 3 then another of 8 soon arrived so the restaurant filled up nicely. Menus and drinks arrived quickly and the waitress was happy to make...

Amazing food and amazing staff. Really enjoyed our selves when we visited moffat. Sit down meal was amazing.

Ordered two chicken tikka kebabs. Chicken was coloured and not one piece had a skewer mark! Looked as if it had been microwaved and not cooked on a grill. Pitta breads were packet standard and rock hard. Would NOT recommend.

I've had takeaway from here a few times. The food has ranged from disappointing to really quite good. Most disappointing was my Jalfrezi which is a mild dish here - I didn't have a menu when I ordered so wasn't to know - whereas it...

Overpriced, bad food, the curries had no taste, the popadoms were burnt and rubbery, the only somewhat decent thing was the meats, nothing special though, I feel robbed

Our meal cost us £46. 2 starter, 2 main, 2 rice, poppadoms and a nan. It should have been £39 according to the menu. I wouldn't have minded so much but their curries were absolutely tasteless. Poppadoms burned. On the plus side, they make a nice pakora and tikka.
