Spice Library in Doncaster

Called restaurant 3 times over the course of 45 minutes, to be told it'll be 2 minutes each time. I finally cancelled the order at the 55 minutes late Mark.... Terrible service!!!

Came in had excellent service and food was top quality

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I ordered at 7pm, called to chase at 8:15pm with no idea where the order was, couldn’t cancel, chased again at 9pm, still couldn’t cancel and still didn’t turn up.

Do not order a takeaway from here absolutely diabolical!! Stick to restaurant least it's half decent...infact there a much better Indian down road what does amazing restaurant service and takeaway service!!!! AVOID!!

It’s all halal, the food is amazing, specially tandoori chicken. Overall great experience 👍

food was all really good, didnt have one bad thing we ordered. curries could have needed a little extra seasoning/spices but good taste nonetheless. Lime pickle was best i've had yet

First time going to spice library and it was brilliant...the staff couldn't do enough to help make it an amazing experience the food was red hot and delicious and they even bought us a cake for our wedding anniversary....we will definitely be back very soon ...thankyou again xxx

The food is delicious and staff are lovely!

Ordered tonight won’t be ordering again unfortunately 👎

As tasty as usual but WAY too much oil in the King Prawn Dopiaza, if the next order is the same, we'll be changing to another Indian takeaway.

SHOWS DELIVERED HAS NOT ARRIVED, WILL CHANGE REVIEW IF IT DOES

Absolutely gorgeous food again from Spice Library, only place we will order from now . My favourite is the Minty Lamb , and there’s plenty of veggie options . Super quick delivery on a Friday night too , can’t fault them .

I went to this place with some friends after seeing it on tik Tok. Initially the set up was really nice The decor was very warm. The starters I had was a prawn puree which was okay l. I had a special which had seekh kebab, chicken Tikka lamb Tikka and king prawn l. Unfortunately 2 of the curries looked and tasted the same. Service was really friendly.

Its just been took over by new management but the food is better than ever ive been to a lot of indians but none compare to this place

First time from ordering from here and packaging is amazing and food was fantastic! No complaints at all

very nice food .Well packaged, thanks.

Only issue was receiving normal rice not the pilau we ordered. Other than that no issues

We were kindly invited in January as a party of 4, to sample the delights of this seemingly popular curry house based in Mexborough, and we all really enjoyed our experience including the tasty food, and lovely service we received. This restaurant has a vast menu that you might typically find at a British curry house, including a wide range of starters, Tandoori, curries, traditional and a signature collection, sides and a decent Vegetarian selection. The price range here is reasonable and around what you would expect at a similar Indian Restaurant with curries averaging around the £9/10 mark, therefore their Sunday & Wednesday offer is definitely value for money. We enjoyed some delicious food including; Onion Bhajis – 3 decent sized Bhajis. Mixed Kebab – all great, the Sheek kebab especially, with a decent hint of spice. Spice Library Special; mouth-watering spicy curry consisting of lamb tikka, tandoori chicken off the bone, chicken tikka and meatballs all cooked to perfection in a spicy sauce. “Medium to Hot” – in Ben’s opinion (someone who does like very spicy food and has a fairly high tolerance) said this wasn’t spicy BUT that it was really tasty and the meat was very tender. The meatballs in particular were really good. Keema India; Mixed keema, chicken tikka and potatoes cooked together with green chillies. Medium – a really yummy curry with big chunks of meat and potato. Very filling. Goa Green Chicken Curry – the greenest curry I’ve ever seen!! But went down really well. Chicken Passanda; Chicken tikka cooked in a sweet creamy dish made with coconut flour, cream, sugar and mango sauce – a mild but flavoursome dish. The Garlic and Peshawari Naan breads were lovely to scoop up the saucy curries. The atmosphere here is decent and the service was also good. We enjoyed our visit as a group of two couples on a Sunday evening, and the place filled up with families, including children, and friends alike which was great to see. This restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday evenings, and there is parking nearby. For takeaways, you can order direct from Spice Library’s website with 10% off all collections, or via FoodHub.

amazing on time! gorgeous food.

Excellent Service & Food always makes us feel very welcome every time. Lovely Menu choices and the Sunday and Wednesday Deal Days are amazing value for money at £13.95 X1 popadom pickle tray X1 starter X1 main X1 rice and bread Regular visitors to spice library mexborough

A great and unique place. Very good food and nice and friendly service. I would highly recommend.

Very sad indeed , only had 3 experiences with this company , ate in and they forgot my meal entirely , second time had takeaway was 2 hours late , this evening arrived very watery and tasteless , won’t be trying it again sadly I’m sure they are a good bunch .

Great food, since being taken over the meat is more tender and top staff. Really good value on Wednesday and Sunday when they have an offer on.

Absolutely brilliant fresh food very friendly staff the chef is at the top of his game I'd recommend the spice library to everyone can't wait to go again

Four of us have just had a meal at the Spice Library, I can honestly say it was the best curry we've had in a long time. Attentive service and excellent value for money. We'll be back soon.

We visit the Spice Library regularly. Either as a couple, a family or with friends. The reason for this is we always receive amazing service from the efficient and friendly staff, the prices are very reasonable and most of all the food is absolutely excellent! We have never had a bad meal. Always recommend and would always continue to return. In our opinion the best Indian Restaurant in the area. Thank you guys, keep doing a fabulous job.

Yet again we have had a lovely meal from the Spice Library. It’s not just the food, all of the staff are so nice too. As I walked to the door a member of staff saw me coming and opened the door for me.Asked how I was, had i had a good day? What had I been up to etc etc so made to feel right at home. The food was amazing too.

Very disappointed with the team and management at Spice Library. They have lost a loyal & regular customer of many years because of their greed, showing lack of respect for their loyal customers in these challenging Financial Times Charged £30 per head rather than the usual £13.95 for their so called festive set meal. (Christmas day price on NYE?) The extortionate extra cost was basically for a piece of cheesecake, and 1 piece of cheesecake to share between 2 at that !!! Booked a couple of days in advance for NYE (not told of the inflated festive cost when booking) Arrived at reception area, still not told of inflated cost!!! Only when seated were we told of this festive set meal cost. I thought it was a joke, honestly I did!!! Only reason I didn’t up and leave was because I didn’t want to embarrass my family. So disappointed, left a bitter and nasty taste in mouth and feeling I had been robbed Will NOT be back - shameful greed Goa Spice or Cafe Naaz for us in the future

Celebrated my sisters birthday here with all the family. Over 20 of us! My first time here and wasn't disappointed will definitely be back soon. Lovely surroundings, great food in plentiful supply and such a bargain as we had the set meal which didn't mean small portions like some places. Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Thank you xx

Dine in,11 of us - great service 👍 good food , always good on Spice Library.

Absaloutley class boss man majeed was amazing good service and class food plan to go loads more in future

Was absolutely delicious. Arrived hot and on time . Every curry tasted different. I really enjoyed my food. The sight gosht with lamb was tender star dish right there. Thank you will be ordering again .

Hidden Gem in Mexborough. Food was amazing, the deco was wonderful. Majeed (waiter) served us really well. I will returning soon.

Worst biryani and pilau zero taste. If someone is going to eat it for the first time in his life, then it may seem good to them, but as a biryani lover, i will never suggest the biryani at any cost. if the restaurant want me to make some and let them taste that, i will for sure just make them aware of what actual biryani should taste.

Amazing atmosphere Friendly staff Food is amazing Would highly recommend to visit Best in Mexborough Special thanks to majeed who looked after us. Amazing service from him

Never again. Waited 2 hours for food to arrive. Phoned the restaurant was told it would arrive in 10-15 minutes. Didn't arrive until 30 minutes later with items missing!! Possibly the worse nan I ever had. Avoid

Delicious traditional Indian food Fresh and teasty Staff is very friendly and helpful

As curry goes these are pretty standard and not the greatest quality. I wouldn’t recommend spice library if you are wanting authentic curry as they bulk cook the sauces which unfortunately leads to a very generic taste. Staff are nice enough but could do with more hands on deck so customers aren’t left waiting for long periods of time.

Amazing, delicious dishes. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Best Nan Bread and mint sauce in a 100 mile radius!! Currys are so authentic. A must try! My only "complaint" is they aren't open 7 days a week!

The onion bhajis are the best I've ever had and that goes for the popadoms too. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The food generally is awesome and a pleasure to eat. Unfortunately access is via a lot of steep steps Which I found difficult. Younger able bodied people should manage quite well. The music was very loud but the place is very popular, all tables were full within the hour and the general noise drowned out the music :-)

Brilliant as usual dining or takeaway never fails to deliver very friendly staff cannot recommend more highly.Yakr your own alcohol . Cannot fault it easy parking lot

Sorry to have rate so low but received terrible service placed the order online 4.30 got the email back saying we would receive the order by 6.15. Called to say this is too late, the answer was that they were having problems with the fans they would call me in 45 mins with a time. They never did! I called again at 6.20 asking where our meal was? The manager said will be 15 mins again saying problems with the fans to cut a long story short after calling numerous times the meal finally got to us 7.30 with 1curry missing! I would have asked for a refund and gone elsewhere if after the first call they just told me the truth that I wasn’t getting my meal on time. Hate being fobbed off!

Order every weekend & the food is always fantastic. However, the last 2 occasions, the food has been over an hour early & cold. We didn’t receive any dips to accompany the pickle tray or food. Really disappointed

Absolutely beautiful food. Lovely staff, nice place and a amazing price. Would have happily paid more. Will be going again very soon.

Brilliant meal great family evening great service well done Spice Library Thank You

We visited this restaurant with family members on a recent trip from Gran Canaria. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and polite. The food was excellent and really good value for money. Well worth a visit if you are ever in this area. Thankyou Spice Library.

Visited the Spice Library this evening (26/12/21) the place ticked all the right boxes. The staff were so welcoming and their service top draw. The food was excellent and the best curry that I have had for quite some time. We will definitely call again next time we visit family in the area.

A fabulous night out with old work colleagues the staff could not do enough for us nothing was any trouble all the lad's enjoyed there meals thank you Spice Library certainly be going back

Never got to know how good or bad the food was. Turned us away at the door at 10pm. A curry house! What has the world come to.

It’s my first time eating at Spice Library and I must say that the food here is 10/10 with there flavoursome dishes as the name of the place states. The staff here are also very polite and they immediately tend to the customers when they are summoned. The coffee and tea here is also great as they serve it according to how you want it. Overall I will give the business 5 stars but it is a shame that I do not have the option to give anymore than that.

Food quality is very good and delivery on time.

This place hasn't changed always great service and fantastic food. 😁

Excellent service, the guy bent over backwards to make our visit perfect and the food was excellent! Thank you.

Excellent food.. Best curry I've had in a long time. Very reasonable prices. Couldn't fault anything. Lovely decor. Comfy and relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit. .

Had another good night at the library. Good service with excellent food. Will be going again

The staff and food was excellent.

Lovely meals and good service. Ingredients were fresh tasting with the right amount of spices and herbs.. Good covid awareness and friendly staff.

My first visit and not that impressed..service was poor, more concerned about the delivery rather than the customers on the premises .starters were not cooked and had to be returned, main course was ok no depth of flavour. And both main courses didn't arrive together. Waited a a further 5 mins . No deserts or coffees offered. Better places to eat and enjoy yourself.

Really nice will deffo use them again

Ordered a take away tonight. With us all been vegetarian we normally find it difficult to find restaurants to cater for us. Came across this place plenty of variety and options. We went for the paneer tikka Masala and paneer tarkari. Both very nice well...

Food was really nice, but the food was 20 minutes late and the food was cold had to 're heat in the microwave not what you want when you spend nearly £30

Ordered for the first time on recommendation from a friend. How right they were!! The food was delicious, lovely and fresh!! Really quick delivery and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend and looking forward to our next order!!

Brilliant food and atmosphere. Friendly staff and perfect social distancing measures in place. The curries always taste amazing and even if you choose the same dish it will usually be a little different depending on the chef. Great for all appitites and ages (from children to grandparents) I recommend the Murroshi Khas.

Yet another lovely meal perfect in every way possible

Excellent food and service every time !! 👏👏

I’m sad and sorry to say that last night was only the second time in this year (2020) that we have visited this fabulous place mainly due to COVID but no worries at all . Sanitiser at the door on arrival, face masks are worn...

Top class service. Top class food. Highly recommended

Recently ordered from this place and it was inedible, left a review on food hub explaining the problems with our order which they then deleted.. do not order from this place, the food is terrible and their manners are appalling!!

Reasonable curry and friendly staff. Most of their offerings are a bit on the sweet side and have somewhat of a sameness to them but considering their audiences and the area its OK for an evening out with friends. Taking your own booze is a benefit financially to any alcohol junkies but they can supply soft drinks if required. They have well spaced out tables, some screens and a one way system. We also didn't have to leave any track and trace information although this may have been taken when the table was initially booked.

Came in March great menu bring your own drink wine / beer Fantastic staff the food is excellent very large portions 💯

Lovely meal all fresh and hot staff very friendly and very attentive

Don't tell you that they're not doing government eat out to help out, not when you book or even when you arrive, you just get a suprise when given the bill , that's just not right, been a few times but now feel cond !!!

Order arrived on time and piping hot. All meals were exceptionally good. Will carry on ordering. Happy faces all round

shocking place wouldn't recommend at all after the treatment we received.Very devious people stay a way at all cost

Absolutely fantastic food once again

Had a lovely take away meal tonight. So happy reopened for take aways

Came here Boxing Day with my other half and we was surprised at how busy this place was we had never been before saw some reviews and was unsure what it was going to be like. The staff couldn’t do enough for you and was...

Shocking service! Placed an order online using their website at 7.15pm, then called to chase delivery at 8.30pm to be told it would be with us any minute. Rang back up again at 9.20pm to be told the delivery ticket didn't print properly. So we cancelled the order. Have ordered from here for awhile now, at least once a week, but for the last few orders either the food was below usual standard or in today's case hasn't even arrived! Will be using Goa Spice in future 👍

Was recommended this place, I went yesterday for a takeaway , I ordered chicken bhuna Tarka dall and breads, I didn’t want rice.. I tasted the bhuna sauce there was a strong after taste ?. I’ve never known this, the Tarka dall was like thin...

Love this place, the curries are amazing, excellent service, good portion sizes byo beer/wine, very relaxed, no-one bothers you

Beautiful, authentic food at great prices. Take away tonight delivered quickly and hot. Can’t wait to see the renovated restaurant when it reopens

Been before on a Sunday and it was spot on - poppadoms, starter, main and a side for £9.99 but this time the service was poor and the chicken in my madras was dry and chewy like it was over cooked or microwaved. Won’t be...

Just ordered and got home chips freezing cold, naan burnt but cold with holes in it and all back tipped and butter chicken taste of nothing

Have been a couple of times and whilst the food seems a fair quality and is cheap, I personally have never felt really comfortable here. We seem to be left for ages when we would like to order. Staff seemed nice though. Maybe its just...

I generally order takeaway from this venue due to my personal circumstances. Having tried many of the different dishes on the menu, I now have my favourites. I find the staff very accommodating to personal tastes and I have never had a bad meal! Thanks...

Amazing place. Beautiful food. Friendly and helpful staff. You have to bring your own alcohol and I suggest bringing it in a freezer bag as the room gets warm if it's full. Book in advance as it's very popular. Beautifully decorated. Definitely a place to...

We booked the Spice Library for a family birthday meal. All arrived and were seated by 7pm. The food was ordered and the starters did not arrive until 8:45pm. I personally stood at the bar for over 15 minutes to buy 2 soft drinks. The...

special 60th surprise birthday party. service very poor. did not get the meal we ordered. my wife and I had same meal but did not get them at the same time.

Absolutely appalling service and attitude. Over an hour and a half for us to have starters.questionwd about mains told it would be another 10 mins taking it to nearly two hours. Another couple left too due to same thing.wont be returning

We love the spice library when ever we’ve gone and it’s quite a few times it never disappoints food and staff are all very good Take away service is also good

Excellent meal cooked to order a good variety.Staff very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. My only misgiving is that it only accepts cash would be better to accept cards. Brining your own drink is a definite plus

We had a lovely visit. The staff were very attentive. Unfortunately after our poppadoms pickles and very filling starter.! We decided we were full even though we had already ordered our mains.. they had no problems in putting them in take out dishes . We enjoyed quite a few drinks ( which u have to bring urself) we were not made to feel in a rush to leave our table and were made very welcome ! The chicken tikka & rice with garlic nan I had taken away, was lovely by the way & would definitely visit again.. not too much ghee oil used in the dishes which is sometimes very off putting and oily. But ours was beautiful..! Great local

Excellent Food and friendly service. Highly recommended

Food delivered. Chips were black cold and old. Korma tasted like its only ingredient was coconut, rice sempt under cooked. Chicken was really dry. Asked for a tika masala and got a tika korma. Onion baji is completely tasteless. Really disapointed and not ordering again

Went with a friend for a meal catchup, very good service, and prices, we had soft drinks this time but you can take your own which helps you control your budget..I have been to restaurants were the drinks bill was almost as much as the food bill.

Always lovely food and the staff are so friendly .

Top place - can’t go wrong and been going for years. Excellent service along with tasty food. Be back soon.

I ordered a take out, well I have many times. not long since they did make a mistake with my order giving me all of the food and sides except the actually curry when i drove down the road and they realised the mistake they correct the error and part reimbursed me very good customer service.

Booked 15 at short notice and they catered very well for our party. Food was excellent, well served and very tasty. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Good clean place. They even played happy birthday when they brought out a birthday cake we had supplied for my daughter's birthday. Would recommend for large parties.
