The food is average Indian food, I am sure some reviews are great because there are no Indian sit down restaurants in Croydon! Believe me the food is average and OVER priced! The service is the biggest joke! The husband and wife operation who think it’s ok for the customers to be not happy and it’s ok for customers to wait a long time for food and have your food come randomly, no structure like professional restaurant where all family starter come together and all mains come together. The worst part is when you ask them to exclude the service charge from the bill, this is NOT acceptable and you will get asked loads of questions as if you’ve done something wrong! 1st ever negative review I’ve ever written, but just feel it was needed.

This place has gone downhill. Poor quality food, small portions and expensive for what is given. This place is shocking to say the least. They even have the nerve to charge a service charge and when asked for it to be taken off, the waitress had the nerve question us!!! Service is average and food came out at different times. My family will not be coming back here ever again. How on earth does this place which is not in central London justify: £17 for a jug of ready made passion fruit / £12 for a small plate of prawns / £12 for a small portion of chicken curry. Lamp chops were undersized. I understand the cost of items but they are ripping customers off. The management of this place is a discrace with mediocre food and high prices. Avoid at all costs.

We will never go to this again very expensive and gutter quality. Small portions. Soft drinks is extremely pricey a jug of passion fruit juice was 17 quid its only syrup mixed with water. Plain papad 1.60 with but of onions ontop. 13 quid for 10 prawns that is a joke. On top they charged us 46 quid for service now that is a pee taking. Which was removed after complaining. MY HUMBLE REQUEST TO ALL PLEASE AVOID THIS RIPOFF PLACE

He says he will check the camera and get back to me..what a plank !! He then goes on to say that it is my first order so its ok. I will never order from this restaurant. Rude manager and staff..

Call and place an order today @19:31. Told order would be ready for 9. My son got to restaurant to pick up food. Lots of people inside. Because of social distancing he called to see if ready. They said another 40 mins. He waited in car again Called again before going, told another half hour to wait so I said to cancel order. When I called restaurant a rude lady claimed she called me and left message. I said I received no message. Asked to tell me when she called. Apparently it was no my number. I said this was not good enough but she dismissed it and said I’ve cancelled so that’s fine. She’s busy and can’t talk and put phone down. Absolutely rude service from lady. Now they are not picking up my call.

Absolutely a waste of time and a tasteless food experience...these guys have raised the charges on every item to cash out on the Help to Eat out. small portions, poor hygiene, tasteless you name it. On top, they added service tax when I questioned the lady said it's by law to pay when challenged she quickly backed. Absolutely a waste of our time...there are far better places to eat Chinese. No water or ketchup when asked 5 times..

Not sure if lunch is normally like this in this place but I just visited it and they give you less items (in the portion) then you normally get when you pay full price. Have been going here for years and this place has gone so down hill. What a shame. Portions tiny and they get away with it. Better off going to Imperial or Other restaurants. To put into context I have never put a negative review up. What a con!!!

The service was poor and long. Only 2 males & 2 females waiting tables. They took over 10 minutes before we had to ask someone if they could take our drinks order - but they were quick on putting the poppodums on the table which we did not order but it was put on the bill! The toilets had faeces in and around the toilet seats which put us off our food. So unhygienic! My advice would be to take hand sanitisers. They slapped on the poppodums and a drink on our bill which we refused to pay.

My wife and I ordered a takeaway each. She ordered a chicken noodle dish and I ordered a prawn dish. It was terrible. Firstly the dishes barely contained any chicken or prawns. My wife's dish should have been called......plain noodles and not chicken noodles. In my dish, they gave me 4 small prawns and again...the rest of it being noodles...the cheapest ingredient! And to make matters worse, both dishes were not seasoned and contained no flavour. Do you yourself a favour and never come here!

Friendly and caring staff. They allowed me to try their Lassi before ordering it. I'd make a reservation if going after 7pm. Main course between £9-£12 excluding rice/noodle/naan. Would return!

Good friendly service and for the most part fairly decent food although some of the starters are pricey for what they are. The Ingredients all seem to be of good quality but I would advise sticking with the Indian dishes as some of the fusion dishes didn't quite work there was just something a little off with the spicing and flavour combinations in the couple of fusion dishes we had but the more traditional Indian meals were spot on.

We've been coming to Spice n Ice occasionally over the last few years. Recently, we've found that the quality of the food has deteriorated, the prices seem to have gone up (drinks too, £2.75 for a half can of Diet Coke) and the service is rushed. The place has gone downhill and the front of house has become more rude and focused on getting customers in and out as quickly as possible. Questions or queries about the quality of food aren't taken to kindly, the staff get very defensive. Won't be going here again.

I must admit their food is nice most of the time but can say when the regular chef is not around.. However I feel the food is definitely overpriced. The quantities are getting smaller.What is worse is they often make mistakes when taking orders and never accept it was their fault. This has happened to few of my friends as well. As the owner takes the orders and makes the mistakes; there is no one to complain!! Very arrogant. They don't understand the word courtesy.

regular place to eat proper indian food (in the sense the chefs are Indian and not Bengali or Pakistani). amazing food, especially starters but portions are getting smaller and smaller and prices are increasing and increasing. Although this is the case, this is one of very few indian restaurants which serve good food so we just have to put up with it. I hope this feedback is acknowledged and something is done about it. best place to come despite rival restaurants in the area having VERY similar menus and certain items being exactly the same. Spice N Ice still have the best tasting food despite rivals trying to copy!

We return to this restaurant whenever we can and the food doesn't disappoint especially the chicken lollipops, seafood delight and the curries.Where else can you get really good indochinese that satisfies everyone in the party.The atmosphere can be great, they hold a lot of big parties in a back room and the main room so there tends to be balloons and disco lights on a Saturday night - not a problem for us.The restaurant is part of a hotel and serves take away so the foyer can be a bit rowdy sometimes and was on our most recent visit.Parking is a nightmare so, living locally, we now take an uber to avoid having to park some distance away on a residential street (there is very limited parking for a few cars outside but it's always full).All in all, it's not posh or pretentious, it's down to earth, friendly staff and amazing food so well worth a try.

Heard good reviews about this place but wasn't really what we were expecting. Quite interesting and certainly different to the usual Indian and Chinese restaurants we go to. For a starter we ordered an onion and chilli dish expecting it to be chopped and mixed together, the reality was big slices of onion and whole chillies. Certainly interesting and a challenge to eat without the right cutterly. Food was mediocre nothing special. It was expensive and the service was very slow, though the staff were all very nice, just not enough for the size of the restaurant. Not as nice looking as the photos make out.

We live in Kent but every time we went to that part of M25 we used get take away from Spice N Nice for last 7/8 years now. It's a bit spicy and oily and pricey but still has the authentic taste. Couple of weeks back on a Sunday lunchtime me and my friend spend almost £130 on take away on various preparations of chicken and prawn. The chicken tasted as it was leftover from the night before. All the preparations were either tasteless or bland. The noodles has an awful smell. Only the fried rice was edible. We literally threw everything away. I called them the following day whether they have changed Chef! Only answer I got was that no one else had complained on that day and my complain will be checked with the chef!! Complete waste of money. Disappointed with the food as well as with the customer service. That was definitely my last visit.

Staff are not very friendly (especially when taking an order on the phone, they always seem to act like they are in a rush even though they are not busy) and if they make a mistake no-one wants to be responsible and they start blaming each other. Quality of some of the dishes are ok but have got to say, they will leave you with disappointment and DO NOT waste your evening here!!

Before I write this review, I must state that this is a 6 monthly review update on this restaurant. Please check my first review also.I visited Spice 'n' Ice with my friends, having had been here many times. The décor was exactly the same; with contemporary style décor and dimmed lights to set the ambience of the restaurant.We were served by one of the managers "Jonny" who from start to end was rude, inattentive and stubborn. We ordered an array of food, from the Jeera Paneer and Tai Pai Paneer to the Chilli Chicken and Hakka Chicken, and more. I informed the manager that I would like the Jeera Paneer more well done. To which his reply was that it is already well done. I kindly explained that I am a regular customer and also ask for it to be made EXTRA well done. After much persuasion he agreed.Once the food arrived, it looked and smelt delicious; as well as tasting good too. However, the Jeera Paneer was not well done. In fact, it was soft and textureless. I got Jonny's attention and explained it was not satisfactory. He then insisted that it was made well done and that is how it is.Having been a regular customer, I informed him that the other manager "Iggy" always takes my order and he ensures that the food is made perfectly. He took my dish in a rage and stormed over to Iggy. Iggy then came over to our table and apologised for Jonny's rude behaviour and got the dish re-made. This time it was perfect. The rest of the food could not be faulted.At the end of our meal, we attempted to get our waiter (Jonny)'s attention so we may pay our bill. He looked away from us and again stormed over to Iggy; telling him he will not serve us and he must take payment.The 4* I have given for this experience is based on Iggy saving the day and ensuring the rest of our meal was pleasant. I would strongly recommend customers to visit the restaurant as the food is great. I would also recommend the restaurant to either teach Jonny some manners or to remove him from the establishment, as his negative attitude has led to this knock on confidence.

Don't order food from the restaurant ever. I got charged £4.25 for a portion of miniature samosas and only 3 in the portion. When you complain to management they don't care and don't want to listen to customer complaints especially Nick the Manager. Used to go quite a lot but not anymore. Would have given no stars if TripAdvisor had let me.

Its pretty close to where I live, and lots of friends had recommended the food. However, my first experience was so pathetic, i am considering never ordering from them again.Tasteless food, bland curries, half baked Naans.. genuinely pathetic experience from a place which came so well recommended..Pathetic really...

I have visited couple of times to Ice & spice. My family love to eat here. Here is final review. We ordered soup,Paneer Tikka, Chiken Lollypop, Malai Kofta, Dal tadka, jeera rice & Tandoori Roti.Chicken Lollipop was excellent but they didn't sever along with schezwan sauce.Over all food was good except Veg Manchaw soup. Which was pathetic. Full of cornflour, no vegetables. Rather than serving with fried noodles they served with vermicelli :-( Which was bit surprised for me... PROS - Very good service. - Ambiance is nice. - Location is good.- Food is very good but not all item.CONS- Little expensive not good for very frequent visitors.- Always parking problem that shows, it's quite busy on weekends.- veg manchow soup need to be improved.But overall very good.

Took the Mrs on a child free date night to Spice N Ice this evening. First time visit and really impressed from start to finish of our evening. Staff very friendly and the food was very good and as we sat near kitchen we could see food coming out.. all looked tasty but as much as we had the Chinese side of the menu.. Sod the diet we will definitely be going back for the Indian menu next visit.Nothing was too much trouble.. i would highly recommend a visit for yourself and family. Even got to meet Nick the Owner who always seemed to have time for a chat.Head Chef, Kitchen staff and waiters... well done take a bow

We have been here over 10 times. Food here is lovely. Very tasty and everything tastes fresh. Quite expensive so it's not one to go very often. Most staff are great but there is this one waitor (walks around like he is the manager), very rude, doesn't greet you if he's serving you and pressurises you to order more. First few times we didn't say anything but now I just ask for a different waitor.

I had been going to spice& ice for many years and always enjoyed it.But recently we had been going to another place for better ambiance,but eventually I realized that it is the food that is the star.So we went last night and am so happy we did that.Food was was so delicious,beautiful mouthwatering fusion food was fantastic.We had pattaya prawns,vegetarian tempura,Taipei fish,okra potato, Hakka chicken,and few other dishes.Nans were served hot crispy and thin,food was sizzling.If you want something special,not monotonous curry,at reasonable price,then this is the place,

The special curry Murga dhaaba was loaded with a heavy curry sauce- made the dish very overpowering. Vegetable dishes were very tasty eg. Bhindi kurkure- Kababs tandoor dishes were good too.

I've been looking for writing a review for Spice'n'Ice since some time. I frequently go to Spic'n'Ice restaurant to satiate my hunger for perfect Indian food. It's a family run restaurant and probably the best in London and better than some of Michelin star Indian restaurants. Every dish is as special and authentic as it could get, along with some Indian and Chinese fusion dishes will entice all types of foodies. Ambience is nice as well with well spread out tables to make you feel comfortable. There is parking as well, on weekends and after 7 you can park on the roadside too - pls check at the restaurant for parking times. Service is very good and could be even rated better than the amazing food.lol Pat is a very nice, always greets you with a big smile, and makes your feel home at the restaurant. She is good with suggesting dishes and is spot on with her choice. If can't makeup your mind for dishes - ask her.Try the Indian and chinese fusion food as well. Done really well.Nishant, London

Had booked for a friends get together, a single guy was taking orders, who pressurised us to order more repeats of each dish, but would not let us know how big the serving would be! As this was a first visit, we all were not sure about the taste, hence we told him, we will taste and then order more of the same dish. Which we did for Taipei chicken. For 6 adults and 4 children we ordered beside 4 mains, three noodles, which came in such tiny portions that we immediately asked the waitress serving to give us a second repeat. She said she can't take orders, the guy appeared after sometime and started to accuse us that we didn't ordered enough as he had suggested, all our explainations went in vain. On requesting again, he said he will ask chef if he can take our order. Later he said, our order is cancelled as chef is very busy. So we came out with incomplete meal.

Visited the restaurant with friends yesterday evening. Clearly it is a popular location on Saturday night but there were very few waiters. The kitchen was probably not staffed as well as we had to cancel a few orders as we were told to wait a long time for orders placed later. Finally we had what we ordered first time and walked off. It seems the kitchen does not have the capacity to pritorise orders for meals in progress.The portions of noodles were too small for what you pay for approx £10/plate. It would be barely enough for 2 portions.Finally the bill was wrong and we were wrongly charged for the cancelled order. On pointing out, this was rectified.Suggest find somewhere else to spend a Saturday evening.

Absolutely diabolical service. Arrived at the restaurant and was seated. We then asked the waitress for a portion of poppadoms, she then walked off and got another waiter who took the order for poppadoms. When they arrived they came without any of the usual garnishes (mango chutney, onions etc). We asked the waitress whether they came with it to which she didn't know. Then another waiter came over and confirmed that they didn't. In a sarcastic way he then said "well I can bring you some if you'd like" At this point I had seen enough. I told him to not worry about the poppadoms and went to the bar to pay for my drinks. At this point the manager walked over and started quizzing me about leaving and that I was going to pay on card for my drinks. "is it contactless? Is it credit? Is it debit?" in a very rude way then walked off and finally accepted my payment. I can't comment on the quality of food but the standard of the service was enough for me to know I wanted to go elsewhere.

I would like to start of and say that the people who work there are amazing! Me and my family came into the restaurant not knowing what to expect but the atmosphere was great because it felt like a family restaurant. I accidently forgot to book a reservation at Spice N Ice, but still they found some space for us and lets us enjoy our day. I've got to say that Mother's Day went wonderfully as my mother kept complementing the food and the fantastic service.

I visited this restaurant on Wednesday night with family. The restaurant location from the front looks like a shabby hotel however, once you get past the doors into the reception and restaurant you're view changes. The service here was good, the manager "Iggy" was very attentive to our needs and ensured all the food was cooked to our liking. The food was fantastic. I was a bit sceptical to begin with however, when the food arrived, the looks, smell and taste were to die for.Each dish had its' own unique look and taste and was easy to tell what you were eating. Overall food rating was 9/10 and the overall service rating 9/10. Only thing that could improve the place would be to update the decor and get better lighting

We went there a few times before and had indian food. It was pretty good.This time, we ordered Chinese food because it was Chinese New Year.First of all, the staff was so rude that he couldn't even bother to answer our greeting.The food was the worst Chinese food I even had. Two different dishes tasted the same. Just some chicken covered black colour sticky gravy. Perhaps their chief doesn't know how to cook Chinese food?The worst part is, we all felt very sick after the meal. Obviously way toooooo much MSG!!!! We called up, politely reminded them they might have put too much MSG in the dishes. The manager didn't even say sorry nor thank you. He was instead upset, just hang off the phone rudely. Definitely not coming back there!!!

I went with my sister to Spice N Ice after I had heard rave reviews about the food, and it lived up to expectations! The food was delicious, with dishes that I have never tried before. The portion sizes are very generous. The service was excellent, the waiter really looked after us, asking if we were enjoying the food and if there was anything else we needed. Everyone was warm, friendly and very accommodating. It had a good atmosphere. I would definitely go again.

Starters excellent - almost good enough as any main course. Lots of dishes with an oriental twist adds to the flavour. Most of the patrons are Gujarati's - so food flavoursome and not too spicy hot. Dessert menu should include more home made items rather than the standard ice cream based items

Aspects of service can be improved - they can appear to be a bit indifferent when it gets busy. But that doesn't take away the fact that this is the most decent option for Indian food in the area.
