Spice Indian and Bangladeshi takeaway in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Speedy order 👌 And the only Indian in the area where if u tell the chef to make it hot, he actually does!

As a regular st the pub next door this is disappointing, now I'm not sure it was a problem with the language barrier but ordered a Vegetable Dansak (vegan style) with steamed rice. Got home to find several chunk sof chicken in a very watery curry saice. Needless to say the while thing went in 5he bin and I won't be going back anytime soon.

The food tasted quite nice but there was hardly any meat in it at all, sadly. I used to love the food from here but I don't think it's worth the money anymore.

Another lovely meal from Spice last night. Out of all the take aways I keep coming back to this one. 5*

It is not very often I have an Indian, but when I do, I really enjoy it, but not tonight! Not only did it go to the wrong address when it arrived it was so full of grease it was in edible, it looked like something out of slop bucket and the biryani sauce had the most weird flavour to it, that I can’t describe. I’ve had it here from lots of times before and never have I experienced this. No point in ringing back as they couldn’t understand me on the phone! But will be putting it in writing to the owner!

Spice left one star because I had to, to leave a review. Nothing to say, food was so late for the 2nd time. I was going to bed. Poor service

First order. Chicken had strange texture - it wasn't what normal chicken tastes like, although the sauce was good. Spinach dish was acceptable. Rice very nice but expensive for what it was. Need to work on being friendly to the customers - it goes a long way!

WOW WOW WOW. Spice has always been our go to curry amazing everytime. Tonight they have just raised the bar, perfect bhajis crunchy on the outside smooth on the inside Armadillo! The main was a perfect blend of flavours every mouthful zinged n popped in my mouth and the perfect amount of chilli too top it off , not blowing your face off but building throught the dish till by the end you have a wee dab on...I was that impressed i called them to say how bleddy fantastic it was. Absolutely spot on guys ive fallen in love even more with curry if that is even possible...

Thought I would give this Indian takeaway a try after being let down a few times by my usual takeaway. We were not disappointed, the curry was excellent and we got extras thrown in for free as it was quite a large order. We were even given a free can of coke while we waited. We will be definitely be using them in future and everything was spot on.

Excellent food , excellent service! Will be returning again! Thank you

Food is lovely but £6 delivery + £1 service charge for paying online makes it a bit expensive. Need to look at this guys.

Just had our first curry from here absolutely spot on…arrived at the time we specified..it was still hot from an 8 mile journey and it was delicious highly recommend to anyone and very reasonable priced too thanks to all involved

Brilliant food and rapid service will definitely be using again! Thank you spice.

Great take away food, it was the nicest curry I have had for a while and my kids really enjoyed it too. Nice friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Curry Lovely sized portions

I have just had what I can only describe as the best Indian meal I have in a very long time. Service was excellent price was not expensive. Thank you

Got a take away delivery Order turned up incorrect, bits missing and in poor condition Food was okay but when called they told us that when you next come in well add it to that order.....not helpful for that meal and probably won't use again

One naan missing from the order. Poppadoms were all crushed into tiny pieces. Food wasn't particularly hot upon delivery. The guy's tone when we phoned up was really quite unfriendly. He did not want to refund at all. Shockingly bad service. Just under £50 spent and it was not a very enjoyable experience at all.

Leaving a review after 8 orders now… service, food & entire experience is absolutely out of this world! I would be shocked if this company aren’t listed in the FTSE100 soon 🤣 serious note never had anything better complete 10/10. Owen Wiles

Ordered a delivery this evening. King prawn Jalfreizi was tough and inedible. Mushroom bhaji was very acidic. Called to raise our concerns, however, the owner declined to come to the phone. Very disappointed and will not be spending our money there agsin

Always delicious, always a lovely smile to greet you. Can’t fault it!

Thankyou, delivered before the stated time and nice and hot, polite staff on the phone and driver thankyou ♥️

First ordered a few weeks ago and was delicious, second order tonight and it didn’t disappoint. Curry’s, rice, naan and poppadoms all perfect. Counter staff very friendly and polite too.

First time having Spice for quite a while now always been a consistent Indian but last night the food was amazing the quality stepped up again. The meat was cooked perfect the taste in the curry great and the portion size brilliant loads of sauce. Cooked exactly how we asked. Thank you to chef

Ordered a chicken tikka got giving a ***** vindaloo or some the int was terrible everything was burnt paid £40 for absolute rubbish don’t go here !!!!

Keema nan is meant to contain lamb mince but didn’t. Had all the other ingredients; onion, tomato purée and spices just no lamb mince which is the main part. seems like they’re trying to save a few bob, extremely disappointed. 2 stars is generous.

Always found the food to be really nice. The portion sizes are great; more than other Indian takeaways in St Austell. The wait time from ordering to picking up the food is more than reasonable too. Two things why it’s not 5/5 is because upon a couple of occasions, food had been missing from our order - which has been resolved but meant waiting longer for everybody to eat. It’s also annoying that there is a £1 charge to pay by card. Pretty sure that isn’t legal. Always pay beforehand online to avoid this extra fee. Despite this, though.. Will always go to back.

We haven’t used Spice for a while after not having a very good meal a few years ago. We decided to give them another go and I’m so glad we did! We had a really lovely meal and the service was incredibly friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice staff and atmosphere food was delicious

Great spicy chilli was on point very good service great food

andsome meal for 4. Great taste piping hot and fresh. Thank you spice

Had a lot of takeaways from here but tonight is the last. It’s always been hit and miss some good some bad. But this evening portions are all small my curry is burnt my wife’s Bombay has rotten potatoes in it. Never again

Brilliant service, excellent food! Delivered to roche and was here in 30 minutes! Great sized portions. Very reasonably priced! 5 stars all round.

This was the best Indian I’ve had in a long time! Very good service and excellent communication! Will return soon!

Hi , I have had delivery last Sunday my 1 of the food was leaking and allover the popodon and the other dish was so souver couldn't enjoy it at all. Call the shop ask for a refund and got no reply. Thank you for your customer service 👎👎👎

Ordered a takeaway, came earlier than they said, food was amazing and they threw in a free side! Would defo recommend :)

Counter staff was polite and helpful, but while I am ordering the chef in the back, was making a luge in his mouth, the counter staff tried telling me he is out back and not near the food not what i want to hear when ordering food I will NEVER eat from here ever. sorry if a bit gross but no other way of explaining my experience from this visit.

Food was extra delicious and fresh, one of the best bangali food I ever had. Service was good 👍. Delivery was bit pricy but food really worth of money.i definitely recommend this place. Forgot ro take a snap of food was very hungry 😕

Used to be quite good quality, however recently has really gone down hill, very watered down runny sauces - The last Korma we had was basically water with some coconut floating in it, the Madras had two bits of meat in it, the Naan was just chewy, oily greasy bhajis, soggy poppadoms etc plus there is now a £3 local delivery charge and another £1 if you pay online. Rang to complain to be told there was noone in to deal with it but they'd get back to us, emailed as well, never heard back, now, just wont ever be ordering from there again..

Ordered a takeaway it was disgusting! The popadoms were dry just look at the photo of the korma sauce 🤢 it was so thick and very lumpy 🤢 won’t be ordering again

Really disappointed with my food. It was really salty, the popadoms were soggy and so were the chips. Rung to complain and they sent me out more… 45 mins later so now my mains are cold 🥴🥴

Excellent food, and prompt delivery service as well 😀

Wow - beautiful fried rice and lovely chicken tikka massala made with care. Though bit sweet - they say you can ask them to make it less sweet - that helps. Best indian had in St Austell

Excellent! Friendly service, delicious food, quick delivery. Lovely stuff

Curry's ordered Didn't even fill the packets therefore have half a pot of each curry sauce gone to waste . 6 pieces of meat and nothing else in the sauce.no complimentary salad or calming sauces because thats extra nowadays apparently so for £40 I feel out done and have alot of wasted curry sauce in plastic pots that I have to bin . Avoid if I was you from now on I did used to rate these guys when they started up

Not overly impressed, way too sweet, the korma tasted like custard, my husband wasn't able to.eat it

Had an issue with our order, collected and re-delivered without a problem. Always fresh and hot with good service. Our favourite Indian take away in the area!

En prima liten takeaway restaurang. Brett utbud av olika indiska rätter. Maten tillreds snabbt och smakar gott. Personlig service

Juliet Gould we had several deliciously spiced curries and the portions were so generous that we had enough for the next day too. Thank you

Nan bread was burnt, Tandoori Chicken was yesterday's, well over cooked very dry . We also had Tandoori prawns they were amazing, but not a big as normally are, but tasty. However the girl who served us our take away was very polite.

My favourite takeaway in St Austell. I get food regularly from Spice. Highly recommend their hari mirchi bhuna, it’s simply amazing. Portion sizes are great also. Always get my food on time. Can’t fault them at all.

Normally good but last meal was disappointing. It arrived 20 minutes early, which meant hubby had to eat before us as we had ordered from a different takeaway. Naan bread was raw in places & hardly any meat in the lamb passanda.

Timely delivery. That's the only star they deserved. Unfortunately, fries and chicken both were not fresh. Tasted old and if heated in oven. Samosa were also 'frozen meal' quality. Disappointed!

Really lovely people and service. Driver is always happy and on time. Lady behind the counter is absolutely lovely as well. Deffo is an asset to the business. Favourite dish is Sag Paneer. It’s absolutely on point and delicious when paired with their marvellous coconut rice. Honestly 10 out of 10. Best takeaway in Auzzell.

Not the best Indian food, wouldn't order again.

Collected food prepared quickly although was out of season. Very friendly. No real parking outside. Food was delicious.

We called in for a takeaway and I have to say this was the best Indian takeaway I have ever had, every dish was full of individual flavours and we were most enpressed, will definitely be back, shame we live in Bristol.

I had a takeaway from here not so long ago, I used to really enjoy the meals from spice but, it has somehow changed, the food was relsly greasy and not that nice I got really I'll from it and gave me a poorly stomach for a thew days, I had a tandoori mixed grill and it was so greasy as if the whole dish was deep fried I'm gluten and dairy free it said everything was gluten free includ9ng the naan I'm not great with dairy, I was wondering if any of it had gluten and dairy in and the chips was so greasy, and tasted not good.

Amazing tried the chicken jalfrazi and prawn curry with plain rice all of it was spot on right amount of spice. Will visit again

Enjoyed the Korai chicken and sag ghust. Food delivered in good time. Menu needs to be updated on the website. Thanks for the extra curry.

Lovely people and they cook a delicious Balti.

We ordered a delivery it was a wait and I did phone twice to see where it had go to. The delivery driver got lost so went back to Indian we were told on phone to expect some freebies when it arrived we had to big bags of food w ephoned to say there had been a mistake they explained because of our wait they had given us 5 extra curries and 5 extra rice also bombay potatoes and poppadoms. Food was amazing.

Fast service food was amazing hot when delivered thank you 😊

Wonderful food, wonderful in politeness, and will deliver close to the closing time, which they done for me yesterday. The food is really gorgeous, and the best around in Saint Austell area. I definitely recommend

Two great curries. Ordered the food online for delivery at a holiday let. Unfortunately there was no mobile signal and the address is very obscure so the first delivery attempt failed. However, they persevered and the food they delivered was fantastic. Good sized portions and hot and tasty food. Thoroughly recommended.

Can order online, through YoYo or by phone. Delivery & collection available. Freshly prepared to each order. Open 7 days a week.

Sad that this great little place doesn’t have a restaurant. We’ve eaten take out twice from Spice, and both times we said it was amazing. I’m sorry I don’t have photos, I was way too excited to eat my chow than show anyone how good it was. 😂 From the lovely young lady I spoke to, to the delivery driver. They all just seemed so very nice, one thing.. I apologise for the request for cheesy/paneer/chips and korma mix?! My friend clearly has weird tastes?! Funny enough, you accommodated her wishes and delivered exactly what she’d asked for! That’s kinda special ....! Hope you get busier and busier ( but not TOO busy obvs)!

Friendly staff and a fairly good location to make an easy pick up. So good so far! The food wasn't the best we'd had as it tasted a little bland and to combat this they had tried to just add salt, when that didn't work, they added more salt. I thought it was just mine but my partner's dish was also as salty. This was the first time we had ordered from Spice but I think it'll be our last too.

Brilliant food, cooked to order, there Chicken tikka massala is beautiful, there lamb tikka kababs are so tasty the meat is so soft and melts in your mouth

Just ordered and received our take away , good delivered on time, bad no extras , mango chutney, onion salad and also the salad for chicken tikka and sweet chilli sauce for the chicken chum chum , 1.5 hrs after delivery still no extras , will be looking for another Indian take away

Great food, good value. Got the order wrong once and got a free dish the next time we went in. 4 🌟

Really lovely food and beautifully cooked. We shall be returning here.

Easy to order. Payment online was +£1 - a bit cheeky as due to covid they don't take cash! The meal was substantial but generally very dissapointing. The vegetable Tava was the best. The naans not bad. Lamb Karahi was the worst made from tough mutton and contained so much salt it caused dehydration and nearly triggered a medical condition.

Delivery very poor, an hour late on one occasion and another did not deliver at all. Not recommended.

Had another most delicious dinner. Chicken Tikka Biriyani, Korma Sauce, Boiled Rice, Onion Bhaji, Cauliflower Bhaji, Sag Aloo, 2 x Peshwari Naan.

We have just moved to St Austell and last week had a take away from best rated Indian restaurant and it was very bland and late, but this week went for this restaurant as more local and had also not read previous reviews like the one last week which was No1 on trip advisor. Our meal was great with authentic spicing and heat, best curry we have had in Cornwall and been here 10 years, however reading these reviews this take away is obviously very 50/50, I would not have ordered reading these reviews! If you read this you could be very popular if you became more consistent with your offering as what we had from you was great.

First and last time we will use. Food inedible, threw it away. Even poppadom were burnt. Waste of money, not even that cheap!

A very tasty takeaway, there are others where the pricing may be a little better, but the food is of very good quality. Will certainly go again.

Just picked up a collection as was working in area and got to be said 1 of the best indians iv had in a long time🔥🔥🔥🤘big portions and great prices,keep it up guys well done

it's a massive shame, as this was our go to Indian. was £37 for 2 Currys a rice onion badjis and a kebab. I ordered a lamb tikka masala, was not lamb I got. was 100% beef. old and chewy, and there was just 4 small bits. food was cold. Time to look for a new Indian. I feel ripped off

Spice used to be a really nice takeaway but not anymore, microwave rice and fat as chicken, we’ve found a better Indian takeaway now called Indian Ocean, so if you want a decent takeaway I would go there

Not good very strange taste 5 meals half eaten. Very disappointed

Recommended earlier in the week. Very helpful when we ordered and asked for some small variations to the meal but shocked when we paid at the expensive extra cost that was explained at the time of ordering. Prawn puri was quite tasteless. The nan bread that I ordered wasn’t even in the bag although they didn’t charge me neither did they offer to deliver one to go with my meal. The lamb balti was tasty and the meat very tender. But the mushroom rice was wet and stodgy. WORST OF ALL we witnessed the delivery driver in the kitchen putting his PPE gloves to his mouth to blow them up before putting them on. REALLY! with the Covid-19 so prevalent and this guy is at least touching the packaging of the food that he is delivering. DEFINITELY WONT BE GOING BACK

We ordered out meal got told it would be with us 45/60 mins well 2 hours later we where still waiting this will be the third time I phoned to find out where our order was got told it will be ready when it’s ready 2 1/2 hours later it arrives it was cold oily not what we ordered all the popcorn is broken and I’m Bradburn we shall not be returningAlso heard from Employee who delivered it to us because we asked why it was taking so long that the owner decided he just wants to smoke cigarettes instead we also found a bugs in a meal. we paid for it got it very late rude attitude from a woman on the end of the phone If you order from here be aware that you can get anything by your own what you actually want

An excellent takeaway, best in at Austell by far. Amazing curries and Naans, I would highly recommend the rogan-josh. Staff are friendly and delivery is speedy

Ordered the following;Chicken Saag Dish - was ok, chicken was very dryVegetable Rice - was okSpecial Fried Rice - was okGarlic Rice - was plain rice, no flavour with some dried up bits of garlic thrown inVegetable Samosa (Mint Sauce) - no flavour what so everOnion Bhaji (Mint Sauce) these were okTarka Dall - was soup consistency and had no flavour at allSackey Chips - skinny fries but were extremely soggy/under cookedPrawn Puri - was okKing Prawn Tava - the prawns looked like some form of alien growth, disgustingly vile.

I had a home delivery, consisting of a starter, main and a side. Although very oily to an extent, my order was very tasty and and filling. I was going to give 4 Stars, but now decided to give the whole 5 stars as I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Would definitely order from yourselves again.

The quality has improved a lot!

Ordered online which was easy and straightforward. Specified a time and order was ready when we arrived. Staff extremely friendly and polite. Food quality was really good. Spice rating was accurate which was great as we all had the right level to suit. Nice touch was finding a portion of Bombay potatoes in order marked "free" and we were given a courtesy bottle of coke as we left. It was given in good spirit and we appreciated it. All in all a great experience and will continue to use Spice.

Good value for money. Friendly staff and good quality food. Will definitely continue to use.

Ordered takeaway from here for the first time yesterday - they delivered within the time estimated and the food was really good. We even got some freebies included. Within our group we had a mix of vegans and meat eaters and found dishes to suit everyone. Would order again :)

Great takeaway. I always have veggie options, saag paneer and mushroom bhaji are really good. When the owner is in and cooking the food is brilliant.

Phoned an order, told about an hour for delivery. Confusion over address even tho I gave postcode + confirmed where I was. 2 hours later no show so chased up; they had tried to deliver to an incorrect address + despite having my phone number returned to the shop! Turned up 1/2hr later + price quoted on phone was incorrect so had to pay more. Food was average, 1 dish completely wrong + way too spicy to eat. Not much meat in the dishes. The free dish on offer was missing! All in all, expensive, poor customer service + too long a wait so will not be returning!

I've used this place many time in the pass food as been great but today order was horrible late cold tasted nothing like it should taste more.like spicy gravy I threw 75% in the bin very disappointing will not order for there again

Stay clear, but if you want food poisoning then this is the place to go rude staff and bland food it’s like eating out of the bins 🗑

Great food with friendly staff, new favourite take away!

Really nice friendly staff. Food was delicious and on time, recommend to anyone. Good value for money.

Great good. Brilliantly cooked. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

ordered amongst other things a chicken korma- the sauce was thin and only 6 pieces of chicken in the entire pot. First time ever I have managed to eat my takeaway in one sitting. The chicken however was hot and cooked perfectly but the sauce was like warm although tasty. Would think twice before spending money on 6 chunks of chicken again other things we ordered naan - good rice - good lamb madras good but had better.

1 hour late Food cold Things missing No compensation and refused to deliver food missed off. Wouldn't even give money back from things missed off. Such a shame as the person on the phone continuously keep lying saying they couldn't get hold of the delivery driver. Who we then asked and said they hadn't been contacted. Such a shame the food is usually nice but the service has been atrocious.
