Spice inn in Walsall

Lovely food. Very good value for money.

Back in my 'day' (the late 80's, 90's and early 2k), Blackwood Rd had the usual town/village shops. Walks to school including a stop at Taylors News for sweets, chippy tea, hair cut, pharmaceutical support... Roll on 30 years later, and something that could have come a lot lot sooner (when I was walking the streets, on my way home after a night out at the local public houses when turning '18' in the late 90's) there is a restaurant. An indian restaurant. Visiting parents, as now live in Lincolnshire, and they took me here... Service; fantastic, very personal, great conversation. Location; 'hidden' away, and parking could be an issue if early doors. Drinks; unlicensed, so BYOB. Wine for me. Food; when 'testing' an Indian restaurant I will always go with the chefs/restaurants 'own' Jalfrazi. If its good, I know the rest of the menu will be good. Lots of experience here 😉. No complaints from parents, nor myself. Price; absolutely spot on for portion size. Lamb Tikka Sylheti Jalfrazi. Not over powered with chilli, just a nice warmth on the back of the tongue, perfection. As well as the starters, all was beautiful. Highly recommended, and parents say take out/delivery is spot on too. Those that kits me, you know I like my curry. If i say its good, its very good.

Lovely meal last night at Spice inn. The food was delicious and well presented, with a good choice of dishes. Friendly staff and good food 5🌟

First visit and very impressed, good food and atmosphere, clean and ironed table cloths and napkins, good deal (£13 pp) for starter, main, with a choice of ice cream tea or coffee,

Lovely welcome, and friendly staff. We had a lovely meal, all nicely presented and piping hot, just as it should be. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, brilliant team well done to you all. We all look forward to seeing you all soon. John

Ordered on Uber eats never received food when i raised this with the shop they called me a scammer and to “try someone else” and hung up on me when I tried get it resolved will not be coming back

Found the starter to be greasy and the chicken in the main to be tough. Service was good.

Lovely Indian restaurant. Clean, staff friendly and helpful. Food is really good. Portion sizes are good. Well worth a visit.

Wow ! What a great place from the service to the food all wonderful. Will defo go back

Went here with the lads from work midweek so it was pretty quiet. The food here was great, really tasty and traditional and lots to choose on the menu. The service was 1st class and the place although a little small was decorated really well.Great value to worked out around £20 per head, you do need to take your own drinks as they are unlicensed. I will definitely be returning and recommend this place highly.

Paid delivery then had to go to restaurant and collect the rest of my order they didn’t give. Returned home to cold food. There are much better places about in the area.

As always Lovely food great service and keen prices including a byo option. The special biryani was lovely! The new seating arrangements an updated decor is also a welcome step forward.h

Nice meal but very cosy and bijou.First time shall return.Best to go early.

Have been here several times. This time the service was very slow . Only two of us and waited nearly an hour between first course and second. It seamed the delivery side of the business had taken priority over the restaurant.

Very nice meal, much improved and at a reasonable price.

Thought we would try our local restaurant having recently moved to the area. Our visit did not disappoint. The staff are very friendly, nice relaxed atmosphere, we weren’t rushed with our courses and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.

The food was brill, the staff with a good sense of humor, the chicken tika jalfrazi is to die for. You will never be disappointed

Eating in or Takeaway always great food. If wanted to eat after 7.30 advised to book very popular.

Even on a very wet Tuesday evening a great warm welcome. Friendly and helpful staff. Great menu choice with food to match.

Brill place in the corner, food and service is brill, atmosphere i.e. a bit of music can help the mood but other then tht its brill

Midweek meal special offer, good value and bring your own booze

Me and my partner really enjoyed our meal, only a few small little niggles like chips were terrible

Ordered from here on the weekend. The chicken I had was tough and the curry sauce was not blended properly, all I could taste was bits. I ended up throwing it away, appalling food!!!

A favourite of mine and my partners. My partner wouldn't even consider Indian food a couple of years ago (Russian, bought up on meat and potato). Spice Inn has become a fave of both of ours. Rarely any issues or waiting, a pleasant service and always happy to correct any issues that do arise (though rare, it happens. We're all human). The chicken bhuna is delicious and the shami kebabs are a favorite with every order. Thank you guys for a great service and great food!

We ordered vegetable biryanis with hot curry was inedible onion bhaji over cooked, Sheek kebab was of prawn puri was just like eating grease

Good food and good service, a shame about the music, they should turn it right down or off, also we were sat by the entrance door which was opening and closing every five minutes so we were cold all the time, shame really because the food was good, would I go there again, not by choice, no.

Ordered from here tonight, every piece of chicken in my curry was rock hard and like chewing rubber.. completely inedible. Probably the worst curry ive ever had!

Food was good but rude service. The waiter will bring you the whole tray of sauces and then charge you for it without informing you, and then argues and acts stroppy

Lovely food let down my miserable employees and lack of good customer service. No atmosphere at all that’s made us want to go back.

For over 20 years I used another restaurant close by but for reasons I won't go in to decided to give Spice Inn a try. Five years later no complaints about the food or service. Always happy to try and find a vacant table and add/remove spice or other ingredients to suit tastes, food is hot, fresh and tasty. Take aways can be a little less exciting but then that is case when food is bagged and transported. Personally I always go an collect then there is no chance of it being late. Good value for money.

Great food really nice staff... I definitely recommend

It was our first order from this place tonight and it was absolutely delicious. The meat and chicken was so soft and the flavours from each dish was just beautiful. We'd missed the rice off our order and they soon sent us a replacement so our delivery didn't go cold. Highly recommended - we will be telling all our friends and family to use Spice Inn from now on. Thank you!

Always top quality food , take away included

My favorite place. Mid-week deal always a winner here. Staff really nice, shame its not licensed.

Very good defintly I'll be back

We are locals but wanted to eat at home tonight. So We ordered 5 different dishes and all were bland and the 'very hot dish was more on the slightly spicy scale. Garlic naan had a slight garlic tint but was basically plain naan. The 2 other curries had whole peeled tomatoes that seemed to have missed the flavouring/roasting process. Just fresh from a can,very odd.My biriyani was more like a salty veg soup with gravy and was lacking any curry flavour at all. the first time I've ever left a curry. It really was foul.If it was a £20 takeaway then I could dismiss it but it was a £40 order and we had 4 poppadoms and the smallest pots of onions and yoghurt dip, no chutneys of anything.. seemed stingy.Overall Very Disappointing.

Why does it have to be so inconsistent?Last weeks takeaway was great - god food, really tasty.This week, it was terrible - rubbery naans, lifeless rice, and a chicken korma that was chicken-free (it was lamb), and tasted nothing like a korma - it was inedible. FWIW, I didn’t like the other dish I’d ordered either - though that was partly down to me, and partly down to the lamb tikka which was gristly and tough.

We ordered this tonight (2nd April) wasn't sure if it would be even open, thankfully it was, lovely meal, tasted fresh and very tasty, the delivery guy left it on the doorstep so no interaction, Thank you will definitely use again

Another good meal , this place always delivers on quality , the deal card people are talking about is down to the people who sold you the card is an external company not spice inn .

Poor quality compared to Streetly Balti. Madras tastes like a combination of lemon and curry powder. Rice very watery. Garlic naan, slightly larger than a tea plate, witn no garlic applied. . Not good value at all. We only tried this place again since it was closed down by public health in 2015. We wouldn't have gone back if it wasn't for a 2 for 1 deal, which turned out to be as bogus as their effort to produce authentic Indian cuisine.

A couple of months ago, a gentleman who claimed to be the manager of Spice Inn, Streetly, visited our home, he was promoting a two for one offer on all main meals at Spice Inn. To take advantage of this offer, we purchased a membership card for £20. We hadn't used this establishment since it had been previously closed down by public health, but with an offer like this thought it would be silly not to try them again. Well this evening we ordered our take away, when we fetched it we were told the offer did not apply to main meals as the offer was sold to us. You wouldn't have minded if the meal was worth the full asking price but it wasn't.... Complete rip off.

This is my go-to take away curry. I usually go for the lamb balti, and it's always good. They're not stingy in the meat either unlike some other places. Delivery is usually pretty swift and problem free.

Absolutely delicious food, best naan I’ve had in a while and the lamb rogan josh had so much flavour.. can’t wait for my next one!!

Very good food, and good service

Great value, delicious food. Love dining here, very cozy atmosphere, the starters are always well prepared; the lamb chops are the best around. Curries are flavoursome and not greasy. The staff are accommodating when it comes to any alterations to your meal and make you feel at home. I don’t live in the area now, which is a shame as I would visit more often. These guys work hard and give you great value for money.

Friendly staff and good service

After a member of an advertising company came to my house to promote spice inn who spice in have hired to gather more customers. They advertised a card which was £20 to buy which meant that if you brought this card when you buy 2 main meals at the restaurant you get the least expensive one for free. Once we went to the restaurant and was presented with the bill we were told that the card was not valid as we did not order starters and the card was only valid if you purchased starters! However this was not told to us when we brought the card and if it was we would not have brought it as it wouldn’t be of any use to me and my family. After questioning the manager as it didn’t state on the card either that you had to order starters for the card to be valid only that you had to purchase 2 main means and then the least expensive was free. The manager informed me that “it should of been printed on to the card” this is not acceptable as being a manager of a business you should be checking the information that is on a card promoting your business before it goes out to the public!! Therefore I feel like this has been false advertisement and who knows how many other people they have coned into buying this card!!

Mis-selling - Set meal deal not honoured and rude waiterMy family of four ate at Spice Inn on Thursday at 7.15pm. This was a special treat to celebrate my two sons’ achievements at school. My sons chose the venue – even though we had already had a takeaway from Spice Inn six days previously!As regular, local takeaway users of Spice Inn, we have also enjoyed meals at the restaurant. We know the food is delicious and high quality.I pre-booked a table by telephone and double checked the Sunday to Thursday meal deal – a set banquet meal of starter, main, accompaniment and vegetable side dish for £10.95, was available.When we arrived at 7.10pm, there was one other couple dining. The waiter took our four adult meal orders. He asked what our starters, mains and accompaniments would be. We explained we all wanted the meal deal and, as the vegetable side dish is just one set dish and we were not asked for this at the time, we assumed this was because that meal is the same for everyone, regardless.After we finished our main meal, I enquired about our side dishes for all four of us, which I assumed would be coming next. I asked if the restaurant could box this up if possible (a service the curry houses in Boldmere have happily done for us).However, the reaction of the waiter was not positive and he seemed agitated and defensive, about our request. He said: You want another dish? No. You should have asked for this at the time of ordering’ He acted as though we were ordering new, separate dishes. I explained we would like the complementary side dish boxed up if possible. Again, his response was reactive and he was shaking his head. He seemed to think we wanted additional, new meals, which seems odd given the set meal deal, which we have previously enjoyed in its entirety as had my father the previous week – complete with the one set vegetable side dish.To clarify, I requested a copy of the menu which clearly shows the simple meal deal. Eventually, the waiter reluctantly passed the menu to me and I pointed to the deal which clearly showed ALL courses. He continued to scowl and said that he couldn’t possibly do this now and that we should have asked at the time (even though he never asked us what we wanted at the time, yet had asked us what we wanted for every other course). I explained that he did not ask us at the time, so we naturally assumed the same dish would appear for all of us. He said the chef could not cook this now, which was surprising given a) it is part of the set deal and b) the restaurant was empty apart from two other people. We offered to eat the meals at the table if they were unable to box this up, but still we were met with an air of inconvenience.In the middle of the fuss, my sons looked uncomfortable. It was embarrassing and upsetting – this implication that we were asking for a ‘freebie’ when it was actually the other way around – the restaurant was not honouring a set course that we were paying for and making us feel like scroungers. This was meant to be a celebratory meal to remember, a chance to relax outside of work, not to face conflict for just asking for an included course!Wanting to go home to avoid a scene we told the waiter to leave it. Had my children not been present I would have expected to receive the dish or a reduction in cost – along with an apology.Ironically, my food – vegetable samosa, Vegetable Balti and garlic naan came to £10.95. This was actually MORE expensive than had I ordered the items individually! Had the side dish been honoured, then my ‘deal’ would have been worthwhile. Even when we called the waiter out, we were charged the full price of four set meal deals, £43.80, despite not receiving four side dishes.I am writing to highlight this poor practice and treatment so that other patrons are not deceived by this blantant mis-selling or treated so poorly. I cannot wonder if this deception was intended as we were never given the opportunity to order those dishes and then treated badly/inappropriately, accusatory and unprofessionally when doing so.In the past week, we have spent £75 at Spice Inn. This is very short sighted of the business. Not only has it now lost a regular, local customer, but this will extend to friends and family. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and this feels deceitful and confrontational on a night that was meant to be a family celebration.

Excellent food at a great price. Really good place to socialise.

Excellent menu and very tasty food, friendly service and well priced. Surroundings could do with a bit of care.

I visited this restaurant as it is close to where I live and needed easy access. I found the staff very welcoming and the choice of food good.We were delighted with the choices of food speed and quality of serviceWe will be returning in the future

We had a lovely meal here last night. Very good, friendly service in this little restaurant. All the food we ordered was very tasty and well cooked and well presented. The prices were average curry house prices. You do need to book as this is a small restaurant.

Cosy little restaurant food and service great generous portions as well

Nice little Indian restaurant serving very tasty curries. Takeaway meals equally as good as eating in the restaurant.

The new menu is lovely, but the food even better, service to die for an taking your own drinks makes it a good venue for value.

The food was tasty and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It all made for a great evening with my wife and long time friends.

Nice little restaurant & great takeaway

First visit to this Indian restaurant it did not disappoint lovely decor tablecloths and napkins always a bonus. There was plenty of choice on the menu to please everyone the food when it arrived was tasty and excellent. Bonus points for being able to take your own drinks and plenty of parking right outside. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Definitely well worth a visit we will be going again very soon.

Food was lovely.great value for your money & excellent service.Mr Binning

First time visit/ scouting for future.

Amazing food. As usual.. Great service too.

Great food and friendly staff. We regularly get take away from here and always enjoy it but it’s also a great restaurant to go for a sit down meal as well. They don’t have a license to serve alcohol so don’t forget to bring your own booze!

Lovely restaurant lovely staff. Freshly food excelent taste .

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Very impressed. Food lovely . Staff very approachable and friendly. Spotlessly clean. Will be going again.

Excellant food, a nice local night out for my wife and I

Ordered a takeaway lamb balti and chicken tikka masala for a mid week treat. The order arrived earlier than expected which was nice but the food wasn’t piping hot so needed microwaving which was odd. Also the lamb was a bit fatty but otherwise the meal was fine.

Great staff , great food , great prices , I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great curry .

Fabulous food as always . Excellent friendly staff , will visit again soon .

I really don't think that they can't afford 60 pence or £120 for a poppadom on a Monday to Thursday meal deal 120 for two poppadoms is better than paying £11.95 for four course Indian banquet without adding the poppadoms on there deal

We've eaten here quite a few times now & have never been disappointed with the food, both quality & quantity excellent. Very reasonable cost & the only Indian that doesn't upset my husband's stomach which is a real bonus!!

Due to a bad experience at The Swan in Stonnell we headed home a looked for a local takeaway with trepidation looking online at menus Spice inn menu took our fancy, having been there under previous owners expectations were not high... how very VERY wrong both of our curries were so very very tasty, spice level just right , delivered in half hour what more can you ask for.... definitely recommend try this place you will not regret it, we didn't and will definitely be back... thanks guys great job

Have visited quite a few times now . Fab little restaurant. Excellent service always regardless of how busy they are . Food is always amazing . Fantastic for both meat eaters and vegetarian. Fish dishes are amazing . Take your own drinks also . Advisable to book Friday or Saturday.

Lovely curry, friendly staff, nice surroundings, we keep going back.

This was our second visit (with countless takeaways in between). We enjoyed a beautiful two course meal. The staff are great and know their menu inside out. I would throughly recommend a visit, but do remember your own wine.

I enjoyed the best Butter Chicken I have ever had this weekend ! The restaurant is clean and bright . Staff are polite , professional and very pleasant . My friends also were very happy with their meals . We will be returning again .

My wife and I went to the Spice inn last Saturday night (24/02/18) we arrived without pre booking a table and happily they were able to give us a table, we had takeen our own drinks as they are not licenced.

After being asked many time to go for a meal here we finally made it & then realised what we'd been missing! The first time we went it was very quiet but when we went on Saturday night the place was full. The food was really delicious in fact the best we have ever had in an Indian restaurant. Staff were attentive but not intrusive & my husband who is a curry expert (apparently) was very impressed. We will return.

Me and my husband love this place the food is amazing and the service is just 10 out of 10 I would recommend this place to anyone in fact I am going with some friends from work in the week

I've tried all the usual places and I have to say this place is excellent and in a different league, the quality of the food is exceptional, consistently.

The food was great, with a good selection available and all reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly & we will definitely be going back again! Remember to take your own alcohol.

Fantastic wish i didn't rate it 5 stars as everyone else will find out about it brill place great food, great atmosphere, exceptional food

Love this place, the food is delicious and the staff are always friendly, they sort of make you feel at home

Great food, friendly faces, best curry house for miles, usually go at least once a week. Good luck to them all, they deserve it x

We have returned to this place and cannot believe so few people have reviewed. It is off the beaten track in Streetly but the service is fine, the food is great and it is byo!!!! £35 for two plus my bottle of wine £45, Delhi 6 twice the cost and just as good. Go get

This restaurant used to be a tired old Indian. New owners have transformed it. A back street location maybe but smart and welcoming and great food . My wife considers herself an onion bhajee expert and rated their’s as excellent, even better than mine if you can believe that! The food really is excellent we think equivalent to Delhi 6 in Burnett Rd at half the cost and best of all bring your own drinks. Good and economical, what is not to like Go there!! We are Friday I am normally rationed on my curry nights but here I can go !!!!

Brilliant staff and amazing food

Went Tuesday , first time and was well impressed , had the banquet , four courses absolute bargin at £10.95 and portions were very good and well tasty , will definitely go again

First time visit and "Wow,, tryed the chicken volcano which had so much flavours and freshness couldn't fault it at all considering how I like my currys and the good thing about this new restaurant is they do a 4course Banquet meal *starter *main *rice or nann for just £10.95 sun-Thursday which is for get-to-gether or private parties.so guys keep up the good work see you soon

Had a meal here on Sunday 28th May. My first time here and I was pleasantly surprised how amazing the food was. After hearing varied reports I thought I would try it out for myself. I had lamb chops to start and they are the best lamb chops I've had in a very long time. I then had the chicken tikka naga and that was so tasty and hot which I expected it to be hot. I even treated myself to the mint madness pudding which finished off my meal brilliantly. My other half had mix kebab to start and he had north Indian garlic chilli chicken as his main which was lovely as I had to try. Overall my first experience was excellent and we look forward to going back and next time I'm having the lamb chops as a main I enjoyed them so much. Thanks to all the lovely staff who looked after us xx

Our favourite restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is always impeccable. And all for a great price.

A straightforward BYOB (bring your own beer) Indian restaurant. Friendly staff and good food at a very reasonable price (the Tikka Platter starter is very nice).

Very freindly staff and great food at a really reasonable price.
