Spice of Bengal in Wiltshire

Disappointed with the lack of spice in the pathia. Very busy and noisy on a Saturday, so I would avoid booking unless you're prepared to wait. Staff were great even though they were rushed off their feet. Will amend my review if I go again on a week day as I feel the food will be much better if the chefs aren't busy trying to do both takeaway and restaurant at the same time.

Food is good but a lot of the dishes are very sweet, I don't know if they do this to reduce the " heat" but I go to Indian restaurants for spicy, savoury flavours

We have been here a fair few times and can honestly say its the best Indian Restaurant in Wiltshire. They have a brand new menu which we both had the lamb shank,it fell off the bone and was beautifully Spiced. Definitely one to try if your planning a visit. As always the staff are very welcoming and friendly, always great with the Kids and really make you feel at ease. Overall we thoroughly enjoy having this on our doorstep and cant recommend them enough.

Absolutely wonderful & friendly team, service and food is amazing! Prices and portion sizes are spot on! We are so so lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in Calne😊 Our favourite place to eat❤️

Went for a special occasion and it was ruined by poor service. I don't like 'up selling' once they realused we weren't buying bigger drinks, millions of extras the service fell flat. The floater coffees came like cold lattes and stirred in. The dessert wasn't available but rather than ask if we wanted to choose something different we got 'thrown' a coconut dessert and told that was the substitute for a chocolate ice cream! Won't be going back or recommending.

The food was amazing, very specious inside, plus added bonus large carpark . 100,% recommend this restaurant

Great restaurant. Delicious meal. Great service. Visited for a work do but will definitely be back with my husband.

The food was absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly and polite. My wife’s dish was not to her liking and they were happy to remake it or change it at no extra cost.

Never judge a book by it's cover. Good food, friendly and efficient service.

I have not been to an Indian restaurant for just understand 10 years so I was apprehensive was this going to live up to the distant happy memory of old? Well first I was happy I didn't use there carpark and found a back street close by the carpark is far too small and very busy! Why is it busy? Because the chef "sunny" and the other artists make food to send you to heaven! I have never eaten such a divine mixture of food and loved every second of it. And yes I know its not just the food how is the ambiance? It is beautiful! Little booths devided by glass. We went on a bitterly cold night in December but I had still had to roll my shirt sleeves up it was so warm and toastie! The service was exceptional and my bar is high on that one! However what strikes it apart from most restaurants and why I will be returning very soon 1. Its so reasonable in price. And 2. As me and my partner don't drink, they do real Coca-Cola from a draft and it tastes amazing! 😊😍

Food was absolutely gorgeous. You can reqlly tell the difference between the quality of the meats used. As apposed to others that we have used. The best curry house i have been to around the area. There was a little delay with collection however it was very busy that evening so to be expected. Staff were very friendly and attentive whilst waiting for our order. Will definitely visit again!

Used to be my local Indian restaurant/ takeaway. Would be rude not to call in when visiting! Nice atmosphere. Very jovial staff and good food! 👍 definitely worth a visit .

Always a great night out. The food and staff are always outstanding.

Great place if you are not familiar with indian food. They help you find out your level of spice tolerance if you tell them you dont want your food to be too hot. The place is very nice and comfortable! Not very loud background music. Paneer is made in the place, which is better in my opinion. The price is fair. Good parking lot. Workers were very kind! I highly recommend it.

There are times when if you don't have anything positive to say, it's best to say nothing. I was there on a Thursday night and it was not as full as it probably would have been on another night. The staff were cheerful and accommodating, but unfortunately, I found my food just a little too greasy for my liking.

It was my first time in Spice of Bengal and I enjoyed it very much. Food was amazing, staff were friendly and I did really enjoy the strawberry daiquiris. I would totally recommend this restaurant.

Up to your normal high standards!

Great food and even better service. Such friendly, helpful staff. They made us feel very welcome, and let us linger at the table, chatting relaxing.

This place is terrible. Its not indian but Bangladeshi. Over priced poor quality food. Its all poor in Calne. There are 2 excellent Indian taleaways just outside of town.. I go to those now

It's a long while (many many years) since I ate here. Even better than I remembered. Good vegetarian options.

Food was quite nice, the service was excellent 👍

Had an amazing night there. Very attentive staff would always check if we needed more drinks. Very busy but had a great atmosphere. The food was perfect as always. Highly reccomend if ever your in the area.

The best jalfrezi I've ever had. We both really enjoyed the dishes. Definitely going back..

We regularly order spice of Bengal curries, they never disappoint. Good portions, reasonable price and taste worth every penny. Dining experience is nice with a laid back and cosy atmosphere. Service is always top quality and polite too, whether its the delivery guys or the waiting staff. Great menu variety too. By far my favourite food place and the place I'd recommend for anybody passing through Calne. Today my delivery came with an extra samosa than normal and I ran around the living room thrilled when I came back to the fridge for my leftovers later in the night and found this out. Seriously guys, never change your veggie samosas. Ever. I normally hate vegetables but these samosas... corrr 10/10 my favourite thing for sure. I enjoyed my curry, particularly the extra samosa (and my other orders over the last few years) enough to write my first review on Google; best food in town no question.

Decided to go for a meal out in Town to celebrate our wedding anniversary, spontaneously called into the Spice of Bengal Calne. What a pleasure and refreshing it was to be have such a friendly greeting and the food was excellent. Mention for Naz who has recently joined the restaurant, he was very knowledgeable and made a great recommendation for the main meal (Bombay Dream Chicken).All of the staff were great, well done for making it a memorable visit, will be going again.

Excellent food nice setting hospitsble treatment. That was in June 2022. That's why we returned again in 2023.

Good quality food and drink at reasonable prices

Gota say this is one of the best curry’s I have ever had there service is 10/10 also can’t recommend more

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Not been there for a while but still friendly faces welcoming guests and good value for money

We had a fantastic meal here Saturday. Right from the initial greeting service was superb, engaging and professional. The food arrived quickly but we were in no way rushed between courses or after we’d finished. Prices were decent and the food was delicious, well presented and good sized portions. Really impressed and we also noticed from the greetings people got that a lot were regular customers which says it all.

Have used Spice for years but service has seemed to go down hill - a little over an hour before 1st food was delivered and almost 3 hrs in total so they seemed very short of staff.

Had a family dinner. Lovely food friendly excellent service fantastic value would definitely go again and recommend

Rubbish..food 3/10 service awfull.. Could have cooked better myself... Service staff run around like blue arsed flys..atmosphere like a mcdonalds...wont be going again...

We have had many Indian dining evenings and take aways while living in the United Kingdom in particular. Wiltshire, Melbourne and Calne close to our old home. However we have lived in France for 10yrs where there is not so many. As soon as we visit our Famiy, especialy in Calne, SPICE OF BENGAL is our chosen meal delight. We miss our favourite food maker living here so much so we decided to order £100 in side and main dishes and freeze in our large Motor Home freezer. Now every so often we half a meal with side dishes and have an authentic Indian from Spice of Bengal. We never thought of doing this before it's such a wonderful treat, Our Indian takeaway here in France. We will be ordering there and to bring back in a few months you can be sure Mr & Mrs McNee BRETAGNE FRANCE or Ridgemead Calne

Really good food, well priced and very friendly service.

Chicken tikka lovely but sadly lamb tikka tough and keema rice not completely cooked. It was our first time so not sure we’ll order again

Great tasting food and good service

Had a gorgeous meal here. Food was really scrummy and great service from friendly waiter. Recommended.

We have a take away most weekends from here. Today we had to wait 2 hours for delivery when it got here the food containers had leaked and food was just about warm. Very disappointing. We regularly spend over £70 at spice of bengal and we don't even get any complimentary papadoms.

Delicious variety of flavourful Indian cuisine, the freshly prepared naan and chapati were outstanding and wonderful accompaniments. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, service and staff. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in the area.

Service slow between starter and main course. plates cold food cold

Best curry I have had in a long time

Lovely food , really friendly staff that we had laugh with , seating booths nice no cramped

Had a pleasant time with my partner here. Really good flavoursome food and lovely attentive staff. Love this place ❤️

I've always enjoyed coming here.

Eaten here many times now. Both sitting in and take away. The dishes are always tasty and full of flavour.

Decent food and friendly service

An excellent Indian restaurant. The food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The take aways are nice and hot and good value.

We went to Spice of Bengal with two friends. We booked our table for 7pm and arrived on time. We ordered our drinks and food, and when the food came we were very happy, it was tasty and well cooked. However, the waiters were hovering all the time and the moment we put down a fork it was whisked away, and before my partner had even finished his beer we were asked if we could hurry up and leave as they had a queue of people waiting for a table. What should have been a nice relaxing evening catching up with friends turned into a very rushed meal, which was very disappointing. I can recommend the food, but not the way we were hurried along, so sadly won’t return….

Can't fault this place. Friendly polite staff and the food is just perfect. Spot on

30/70 on the quality of the food taste wise the vegetable dansak was pack with flavour but the vegetable biriani was watery and tasteless, the chicken Korma average starters were OK but small salad pot was so small it was an insult adding it. The biggest issue though was the fact that we found dry bits of lamb in the pilau rice so please avoid if you are vegetarian or vegan as they are obviously not keeping their ingredients separate possibly using the same utensils for everything very disappointing

Lovely food and atmosphere, friendly staff

Pre booked after reading reviews before visiting. Very busy on Saturday evening, staff lovely and polite and warned due to business service may be a little slow. Food and atmosphere was very good. Finished to a high standard and nice open style whilst still having your own space. Mixed starters and the Tikkas most of us had were exquisite and very sizeable mains. Wife only had slight issue with her prawn karma being a little wattery. Would 100% recommend and will no doubt use again when next visiting.

The best curries in Wiltshire! Never disappoints!

Normally the food is very good. However I had a recent takeaway & the lamb was rather fatty & very soft which didn't sit well in the mouth. Also their prices like everything else is a bit steep.

A little slow getting those beers out to tonight, but it was packed out, and only a Wednesday! Great food, thanks!

I turned up on a very busy friday(lucky i had booked)and received a nice welcome.all of my food was of a very high standard,good sized portions well presented.great service throughout my stay and kept the cold beer coming.i enjoyed everything so much i came back on the sunday.would recommend the tandoori mixed grill.many thanks to all the staff.

Excellent experience. The food was spot on. Really tasty The waiting staff were attentive. Nice relaxed atmosphere Definitely worth a visit

Ordered a takeaway tonight and it was really good. Very fresh and tasty. Would definitely order from them again.

We decided to go here for our daughter’s birthday after going here a couple of times previously. This time though we booked telling them before that someone from our party had a nut allergy. When we got there we explained yet again, not a problem from front of house staff. The problem came when we started to order our food, our first server… His response “I don’t know, I don’t cook the food”, I asked him to go and find out please. Another server turned up with our food, before he placed them on the table I asked again he said these were fine. We were then sent another server for our mains, although he helped, his awareness of nut allergy was very sketchy and all in all resulted in a stressful family meal. Wouldn’t go again with anyone with an allergy.

We really enjoyed this meal & we had excellent service.

Lamb used in currys is tough and gristly. Didn’t enjoy it.

Have ordered from here for nearly 10 years and enjoyed 8 great years here until covid. Since 2020 the menu has been the same basic menu and the food has replicated that. Plain sauces with added chilli to hide a tomato/water base sauce. No real added ingredients to add richness and flavours to sauces. Chicken pieces pretty tough at times. Naan breads undercooked. Just not the same place and unfortunately lost my long term custom.

Went here last Friday with a friend. Very attentive staff and the food was amazing!! The best Indian cuisine I've ever had!

Weather it's dine in or take out, the standard of food quality and service is high. Highly recommend visiting.

Lovely food in a nice comfortable setting. Always a friendly welcome from the owner !.

Very disappointing food. Expensive compared to local competition. My Duck rezala, duck was overcooked and tough, sauce was bland. Chana Massala was swimming in oil, and not at all up to standard. Food turned my stomach. Avoid.

Below average chicken madras, keema rice wasn’t much better, Roti, popadoms and pickles best part of a disappointing meal.

The food was really great but the service wasn't the best. The waiters were quite short with us, kept forgetting things we asked for and made us feel like we were being hurried to get off the table.

Ate here once about 6 months ago. Waiter (owner?) was very helpful when requesting help making sure choices were vegan so was keen to try again. Tried ordering over the phone now and BOTH guys I spoke to were clearly just trying to "get rid" after asking politely to just point out if any choices had meat/dairy in. I was told "We are not vegan. We do nothing vegan". Yet when persisting, they confirmed most dishes I was ordering in were meat/dairy free (though they were warning me repeatedly things had nuts/Coconut in. I know. We're vegan, not allergic to nuts?! Basically all diets are the same I guess?) Got about halfway through order and the attitude got so bad I gave up and ordered elsewhere. Shan't bother trying again, rubbish customer service.

Had this a few weeks ago and it gave me a bad stomach for days!

We enjoyed a fabulous Valentine's celebratory meal. The food and ambience are always excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. We were well looked after by the staff, and especially Raj who could not do enough for us to ensure our experience was...

Visited here 26th January as a table of 2. Food ordered promptly, came out quickly and to a good standard and taste. Only negative was you feel very rushed to order eat and get out to free up table again. Would return as a treat...

Best Indian in this area. Try you will not be disappointed

Had a great meal there with some friends. Only let down was the service. Not bad but not quite right when dealing with things like what isn't available in the dessert menu

The food and service here is always excellent. Our favourite!

Lovely food and great service. Would recommend highly. Nice evening meal with attentive staff. Excellent all round

Very good Indian pleasant staff reasonably priced

Smart looking restaurant with a comprehensive menu. Out with a party of 9 and all enjoyed their meal.

Recently refurbished and still serving some of the tastiest curries.

Sorry to say but I have tried this place a few times and it really is average at best . I said I wouldn’t use again but did and was worse than even before . The curries were covered in so much ghee oil and most of the chicken was very tough . The curries were bland and didn’t resemble what they should be . I tried them again as they now deliver but wish I’d ordered at Havali in Bromham and picked it up . This has always been as a takeaway and I have not eaten in the restaurant for a long time . Really don’t get all the 5tar reviews .

Ordered a take away, after 1hour and 15 min wait this is the salads for 3 people, what a joke!

Spent a small fortune on a below average take away, late delivery, dry food and when we complained the attitude confirmed this setup is not good, my advise is to avoid.

Absolutely divine food! The service is first class and so friendly. We have been going here for over 18 years and it's never wavered in its quality!! It's an absolute asset for Calne.

Having spent a while making an order online, the website crashed just prior to making payment. Then tried to make an order over the phone but the person answering made no sense at all. Before giving any details the person was quoting a price for dishes I hadn't ordered. Not worth approaching for food and not likely to be in business much longer if they can't sort out the basics.

기대하지 않고 들렀는데 뜻밖의 맛집을 만났다. 인도 정통 카레의 아주 기분 좋은 매운맛을 경험할 수 있는 식당. 다음에 기회가 되면 다시 들르고 싶은 곳

Food was delivered 19 minutes after placing order! good tasty curry and sides. will be having the curry from Spice of Bengal again!

Not been here for a long time.. and won’t return anytime soon.. ordered a takeaway and it was just ok!! They forgot some bits as they all seem to.. I do appreciate it’s difficult times at the moment but just hate wasting money on crap...

Ordered a takeaway online via the Urge to eat app at 5.45pm. I was told it should take 30 minutes, but could be up to an hour. The food finally arrived, barely warm after 1 hr and 40 minutes. I knew they were busy so...

We’ve been dining at Spice of Bengal for a few years now & have always enjoyed the food & the service. They have worked hard to adapt to the challenges that COVID has presented & remained engaged & flexible as the restrictions have ebbed & flowed. We have just returned from enjoying dinner there tonight & have to say it was outstanding. Every part of every dish was beautifully prepared & the ingredients clearly very fresh & excellent quality. We always enjoy Spice of Bengal but think tonight’s was the best we’ve ever had there. Thank you to the team at Spice for a fabulous meal & terrific service!

Have been ordering on a weekly basis during lockdown. Decided to collect rather than have a delivery. Still a 20 minute wait after time was advised would be ready, ok with that. Not ok with lukewarm food and two items wrong. Phone red hot whilst...

Perfect food and excellent service ! Many thanks from the six of us !

Lovely service and tasty food. What more could one ask for?

WOW, yet again amazing food, staff very nice and knowledgeable, always come her when visiting family. Just wish this Indian was my local. Thanks all for another great meal and nice night. Richie Farnborough Hampshire

Just a takeaway with family,good food and fabulous Vindaloo

We were recommended here by the owner of the excellent Heritage B & B nearby and it was indeed good. Very good Covid hygiene details and excellent food. Well done!

Fantastic place to dine... extremely friendly staff and outstanding atmosphere.... would give 10 stars if I could

We always have a great meal here and despite it being VERY busy due to the Eat out to Help out scheme, the staff were working hard and fast to keep service attentive!
