Ordered from here tonight for 8 people. Food was nice and hot but the spice rating on their menu is way off I had South Indian Chilli Garlic marked as very hot indicated by 4 Chillis. It certainly wasn’t that hot. I even asked for extra fresh Chillis. Food was tasty but wary of the spice rating. A little disappointed on that front. In general just an average takeaway.

Went with friends for a catch up and had the most delicious Indian meal I've ever had. Stuffed myself rotten. This place is a hidden gem.

Went at the last minute to celebrate my birthday. The food was the best I've ever had. There was a few people having meals so expected the service to be slow but actually it was very good. I will definately be going back.

Takeaway ordered as we usually do. We challenged the price over the phone as it was a lot higher as usual and when it arrived we found hairs in the food that look like pubes. Its disgusting

My son and I ordered a takeaway recently and were very impressed. Although we had to collect the food it was ready promptly. There is a great selection of dishes, all reasonably priced and the portions were huge. Plenty for dinner and the following day. Would highly recommend.

Take away was very poor. The spicy poppadum was soft and the normal popadum wasn't as crisp as it should be. Chicken Tika Balti had some undercooked chicken in it and onion stuck together and the whole meal lacked taste. Chicken Duphaiza was cooked but very bland. Pilau rice stuck together in clumps. Garlic naam was burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside and had no garlic in it. Overall the worst Indian meal we have ever had and will not return.

Very disappointing... my prawn curry had no flavour at all . If I had been blind I would not have been able to distinguish what I was eating .. I would have had to say give me a clue ??? .. it had no flavour or taste to it .. I have had far far better ready meals it was to be honest dismal is the word I would use ... I was quite intrigued by the lack of colour as well and also the mc Donald style fries I got with it ? Puzzling and very bizarre. I looked at it on my plate and it was probably the most unappealing meal I have had .. to be fair it was grim .... in fact grim is probably the most polite word I can use for this totally nondescript meal .. I was expecting a nice prawn curry my my my how disappointed I was ... this meal was such a let down .... it was just bland to say the least I ended up leaving it and threw it away ... I guess I will put it down to experience , I guess it is what it is but I won’t be ordering again.

Had my first meal from here in forever. And now I'm wondering why I haven't been here more often. All the meals, rice and naan breads were spot on. Big portions. Plenty of flavour and spices. Price was very reasonable. Could become a regular. The chicken Balti was very good.

Our second takeaway from here during lockdown and it was great again. Super tasty with perfect balance of heat and flavour, well organised for collection and good value too. Staff very friendly on pick up.

Always good for a take-away. Never been disappointed with the quality. Rarely see many people eating in the restaurant which is a shame. Just hope it stays open with the take-away trade.

Im new to this site as my husband normally does this stuff but had to make an exception after my experience here.I was in Cumbria to see a friend and she suggested this place. We were going to eat in but the restaurant was freezing cold and blasting out 90's love songs. The decor looked like a bad dream. Lots of random bright colours. It was SO bright inside it hurt my eyes. The restaurant was a mess the toilet filthy and garbage bags were outside the open fire exit as you walk up the stairs.Anyhow, we were hungry and decided to get takeout. The service was sloppy (we got home without my rice and naan), and it was intimidating. There were two guys laughing and joking with the service staff who just stared at us when we walked in, giggling like children. One of them had his feet on a table! I should have read the reviews. I had the a Chicken Korma as I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. It tasted ok. Not much flavour, and the sauce was really gloopy. We had to share rice. The next day I started to get stomach cramps and diarrhoea, I'm sure it was the Korma. Luckily my friend who had a spicier meal is fine. 4 days on and I'm still really ill. On a positive note I've managed to lose nearly 1/2 a stone. Never again.

Had a terrible sit down meal here last week. The food is good, however the restaurant was freezing and blasting out 90's pop music. There were two serving staff one tall and one younger shorter one. The tall one was rude, got our order wrong and didn't care that she'd made this error and accused us of "ordering the wrong food". Couldn't believe her attitude. AVOID.

We were staying in St Bees & wanted a curry takeaway last Tuesday. The Spice Land menu was one of several in our holiday property; Of various curry houses available in Egremont, this was the only one serving on a Tuesday according to the menus we had & prepared to deliver to St Bees. V good service, the lady I spoke to on the phone told me 1 hour for delivery, our order arrived piping hot in 45 minutes. 3 people, 3 curries plus sundries. The tastiest curries we've had in a long time, lovely naan breads (1 garlic, 1 keema & garlic) & pilau rice. Most impressed with the food & the service.

Never disappointed with the take-away side of the business. Nice to get a discount if you collect and times for preparation are always realistic. Glad to see the premises getting re-decorated and I hope it gets more people in through the door to sit down and eat.

Family takeaway, food was delicious. We got chicken Dansak, tikka masala and chicken korma as main meals, rice/ naan were also beautiful. It couldn't have been any better. Reasonably priced, We all loved it. We will definitely return soon. Hopefully try a sit in next time

Disgusting ordered take away never again want up the grotty dirty staircase to collect to be greeted by an overwhelming stink of urine masked with bleach looked left to see huge out of order on toilet door (no smell of curry!!) Want to pay to be told they did not take cards (eventhough menu ouside states that do) want out with my your year old to get cash from machine 10minutes walk was tempted to get in car and go to chippy! But felt guilty.

Le dimos el beneficio de la duda ... gran error. 3 cuartos de hora esperar para nuestros entrantes ... un encargo era prioridad. 20 minutos esperar por una jarra de agua y me dijeron que se les olvidó que había pedido. Cubiertos y plato principal empujados por supuesto en mí. Hemos comido aquí durante años ... nunca más. Preferiría hacer sin

On the odd occasion I have a take away from here and every time I go to pick up my food and I'm waiting for it and see what a unclean run down place it is it makes me think why have I ordered food from here, saying that the food is always lovely but they really really need to give the place a good clean and a face lift it really is the most unclean unkept looking place I have ever seen. And if that is what the bits you can see are like i hate to think what the bits you can't are like! X

La comida aquí es realmente buena y hay un popular servicio de comida para llevar. Egremont no es famoso por sus restaurantes de estrellas Michelín, pero con un poco de atención, esto podría ser una pequeña joya india. Me he relacionado con este hecho al propietario. Me hubiera gustado llevaría a bordo. Gordon Ramsay pronto tipo él!

Habiendo sido recientemente nos cambiamos a la zona mi esposa y yo decidimos pedir desde aquí, así que pudimos conocer nuestra pizzería favorita opciones cuando nos apetecía una delicia. Nunca más me aseguro. Nuestra comida llegó a 22 libras algo, pero cuando llegué a recoger nuestra orden que cobran 30 libras. También me dieron comida diferente de lo que yo había pedido sin hacerme saber antes de que los locales. Llegué a casa y nos pareció un extra pero no popadoms pan Naan así que ahora teníamos tres entre dos de nosotros. Mi pollo Tikka masala también había sido canjeadas por un pollo de mantequilla, tenían acabaron de ingredientes de masala aparentemente. Cuando llamé para preguntar sobre los cambios en mi pedido me dijeron que había olvidado de decirme. Dentro del restaurante, la decoración es muy cansado y no es limpia, pero al ser el único restaurante indio en la zona no hay competencia local para que puedan permitir que sus niveles bajada dramáticamente. Yo no tendrás otra experiencia desde aquí, una vez me picaron dos veces me asusto! Uno positivo, la comida estaba por encima de la media.

We went to the Spice Land on Christmas Eve as we had no electricity. The decor is a bit weird all air tech and painted in blocks of random colour. We were the only people there so were wondering how good it would be. It was lovely we had pappadom s then onion bajhi to start. Then chicken Korma that was one of the best i have had. Garlic nan and pilau rice. My oh had chicken balti and keema and garlic nan. The portions were a good size and the food was very good. Will be going again.

I ordered a chicken tikka Sri Lanka, fried rice and peshwari naan, collected my takeaway got home to see there was no rice so phoned up and asked for rice to be delivered, so that came and it was fried rice and onions!! No Indian restaurant or takeaway I've ever been to have classed fried rice to have onions in! When i rang up and asked if this was right she said yes we have always done it that way, and the woman's attitude was awful, she was extremely rude and incompetent!!l It isn't a wonder the restaurant was empty with the staff they have. Also when the rice came I had to pay for delivery even though I collected my original order and they messed it up, therefore it should have been free of charge, when I said the same thing to the woman on the phone she said well I wasn't the one who took your order and I asked her if there was a policy that stated "the customer is always right" and she replied "supposedly" implying I was wrong.. I will never be going back there for them to just mess up my order and to end up eating it cold, and also so I don't have to be spoke down to and treat disrespectfully.

I recently had a take away which was really average, but I had the same meal a few months ago ,sitting in, and was really nice,service was good,food really tasty . On Sunday they do a special menu,think its 5 courses for £9.99. The place could do with a refurbishment, very poor deco.

Just moved to Egremont and thought, great to have an Indian restaurant near by.What a disappointment! when we visited, the décor is very dated and drab, from the entrance up to the 1st floor and restaurant. The staff were friendly but not very professional and lacked any sense of the service they should be be giving. The menu was varied and looked interesting but that's where it ended. The food was very bland, lacking any great flavour or spice and poorly presented. Tried the takeaway service at a later date hoping it would have improved but sadly not.Very unlikely we will be back or have a takeaway from here, there are better Indian restaurants and takeaways only a few miles away, a pity but we would rather drive and get better food.

moved to the area in january. and was told to try this place. as we walked in we was a bit shocked with the decor, as it was very tired, and not your typical indian resturant decor. but we thought what the hell we will try it. 5 of us went and we all said how wonderful the food was, reasonably priced to. since then we have been back 5 times for eat in and takeaway, and it has been consistant every time. never had a problem with any meal. if you want something just ask and the staff are more than willing to help. if you want a top notch meal without the frills of wonderful decoration (cant't eat the decoration anyway) then go there and have a great time with ya friends family etc.

Came here for our anniversary. Food very mediocre. I got a tikka masala, which was very salty and my husband got the chicken tikka balti, which he really enjoyed. Garlic naan bread was rubbish with hardly any garlic. Staff very friendly, but won't be returning any time soon.

Spice land is a very nice and comfortable small restaurant. It is a shame that you never see it really busy, although takeaways seem to be the mainstay.

I worked nearby to Egremont in July and I felt like getting an Indian Takeaway one Friday night. A person at work recommended it and I didn't want to drive too far away.When I got there I was surprised how run down it was. It was pretty dark inside even though it was 7pm summer time and was very quiet. However it is the only place I have been to in my entire where the customers, rather than the staff, have put you off. There was a couple there that told me that there were dead flies in some of the wall lamps, food was poor and so was the service (which doesn't explain why they were there). Staff seemed friendly enough and food was actually pretty good.It's good if you want a takeaway, but it isn't as good as Spice Club up in Cockermouth

My take away from here was lovely grate sized pieces of chicken in the curry, very fast and friendly service, but my only negative is the look of the restaurant when your waiting for your food it put me off slightly from eating food from here as if that's what the bit you can see looks like god knows how clean the bits you can't see are! It is in desperate needs of an overhaul it looks like a bit of a dirty old store room with random fridges and boxes in defiantly needs a clean fresh look I don't think I would go there to eat in, it's such a small room it would take very little to clean it up and make it look fresh!

On the high street. Nice food and lovely service. The staff helped me to decide what I wanted as I fancied something different to my generic chicken korma. What I had was amazing and I would order it again, hopefully it will be the same at other places! The name of the curry escapes me I do apologise!

Generally, the food here is of a good quality. The prices are average and the five course Sunday Special offers exceptional value - poppadum and pickle tray, selected starters, selected mains with rice or nan and ice cream or coffee. Sadly, the quality of service is inconsistent. On our last two visits after a considerable wait, we have had to ask for final course which seems to be offered with some reluctance. They appear to do roaring trade in takeaways.
