Spice of India in West Oxfordshire

Food was delicious but wasn’t hot. The deal for two is good value.

Excellent and well flavoured food and friendly service. Highly recommend

Very friendly and quick service. Decently tasty Indian food - a large variety of options and very well presented. Very good value for money.

CURRY FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We visited chipping Norton for 2 nights and it was our first time in the area. We ordered a delivery from spice of India as reviews looked good. After over an hour it was delivered, and honestly it was the worst Indian we have ever had… all 4 extremely watery and sugary curries were horrendous, the popadoms were stale and I wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. One of the curries was meant to be lamb…. we couldn’t actually work out what it was but it definitely wasn’t lamb. After mentioning it to the lovely lady at our campsite, she kindly went out of her way and called them to ask about this. The person that worked at the Indian asked us to call them or pop in, so we did as we were in town… they then said they had ‘no cash’ for a refund even though we paid cash and tipped them for it when it was delivered, as well as telling us they much prefer cash on delivery… instead they offered us £15 worth of alcohol which they told us was worth £60 as ‘compensation’..this review is more for anyone that is visiting chipping Norton and fancies a curry, I would never recommend spice of India, we were all ill the next day, and the food was -1/10… DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!

Excellent service really good food and well treated as a customer. Can’t recommend anything as good and as reasonable price as this 10/10 definitely recommend!!

14 of us in a group visited this restaurant on Friday night with not one complaint from anyone, says it all A1 service, great food and lovely friendly staff, we give it 10 stars. Terry Llewellyn and MCA motorcycle club South and West Wales many thanks.

We stayed at Chipping Norton Camping and Caravan site and had food delivered. We are quite partial to Indian cuisine and we found the food to be very good. Dishes were flavoured well and good size pieces of meat. King prawns were a good size too. Bread was tasty. Also very reasonably priced compared to some takeaways. We would recommend and will be using them again when we revisit next year. No free popadoms though

Bit unappealing looking at the outside. Don’t be put off. This is a real diamond eatery. Service impeccable, super friendly, amazing food, very, very tasty and cheap!!! Oh my word! A beautiful meal for two, gin& tonic and a pint, £42.!!!!! Paid £50. Out for my husbands 60th, top notch. Highly recommend, you won’t be dissapointed. Thank you so much for a lovely evening Xx

Great choice of food which is freshly cooked and very tasty and at a reasonable price. Less than £50 for two people including drinks. The manager was very helpful and efficient his staff not so much.

Its a small place and feels like a seasiide cafe but the food had a fresh feel and was tasty, piping hot and well presented. Two drinks, a shared starter, two mains, a side and a nan for £54, good value.

Very friendly staff, very good food.

The service is helpful and friendly but I did not like the food at all. M&S curry is far better. We ordered a couple of different curries but both tasted the same. I was expecting spicy hot but tasted sweet and dull.

We were planning on going to a pub in Chipping Norton for tea but you had to book in advance so we ended up coming to the Spice of India. We are so happy that we did because it was honestly one of the nicest Indians we have ever had. The chicken tikka was absolutely delicious as was the madras. The service was incredible and we felt so welcome. We would definitely recommend the Spice of India to anyone visiting Chipping Norton- it was much better service than the pubs and just a generally great atmosphere! Thanks again.

Proper authentic food, less use of artificial additives. The owners are very proud of their food and it was very nice (if not slightly spicier than I am used to). The decor probably lets the place down a bit so it makes you wonder what you are going to get. Considering the prices in the local establishments are expensive, the prices here were reasonable.

Small but fabulous family run restaurant. Delicious unique super fresh recipes. Chose 2 of the house specials- lamb nawambi and the king prawn dish. The poppadoms, naan and sag aloo - were all home prepared and surprisingly delicious ! Highly recommended to book - almost full on a Monday night at 7pm! Service was great - really genuine! Great find - definitely a Chippy gem!

Excellent food, wonderful service, and very reasonably priced. We were on our first trip to the UK and arrived rather late in the evening. The staff were friendly, very accommodating, and made us feel welcome.

Food is nice, especially enjoyed the briyani and the prawn dishes. Service is good. Shop owner came over to say hi and check on us.

I don't quite understand the 5-star reviews here. We ordered the butter chicken and biryani. The chicken in both the dishes smelt stale. The waiter warned me that the butter chicken would be sweet and followed that up with "This is how it is here" ( I'm Indian ) - but it was dessert level sweet.

Stunning curry. I had the King Naga chicken curry; wife had the butter chicken; the naan was, according to my wife, the best, freshest she's ever had. I agree with this; also the pilau rice was outstanding. The owner and staff were lovely too. Highly highly recommend, even without the Bailey's to finish!!

Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff, all good 👍

Great family run restaurant. Very busy, we were lucky to get a table. Flavours were lovely, and the manager gave very accurate descriptions of the various dishes. Good value for money, would come back again.

Fantastic food, very tasty and great service. My wife and i (with our daughter) decided to take a short break for afew days as it was our 11th wedding Anniversary. We love Indian food and we're lucky to find this golden nugget. Highly recommended, next stop Diddly Squat farm 👍

They don’t deliver on time and made me wait 1:30hrs and cancelled the order later

Looks can be deceiving, it doesn't look like much from the outside but the staff are lovely although, sometimes you struggle to spot them. Great atmosphere though and enjoyable food!

Food was as nice as ever. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Waiter was lovely but didn't seem to have a clue. He was the only one serving however whilst others were just sitting around. I would recommend just think service needs to be a little sharper

Lovely family run restaurant, very friendly, great food and price

Ordering regularly from this place now, favourite Indian place for me and my partner. Delivery is always on time, good price

Amazing people, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. All of us enjoyed our curries and rice, especially I liked my mushroom rice very much. I will definitely come here again. Recommended 👌

food arrived hot and everything was so delicious can't wait to oder again

Seriously poor all round, chicken korma looked like it had come straight out of the jar tasted like it came out the jar, I probably could of done it myself and made it taste just as good, service was okay at a push If you want the full indian eat in experience try abduls in daventry, Seriously I never gave them the recognition until eating here

We had a meal here last Saturday, just in Chipping Norton for the night, we only had poppadoms and main course both of our currys Were great. Lamb Madras and Lamb dansak.

Best curry I’ve had so far. Can recommend.

It's neither an indian restaurant nor do they have any idea about indian food. Please AVOID this restaurant or your tummy will avoid you next morning.

Friendly service and some of the food was tasty but we all agreed that a few of the dishes were way too salty, as to make them difficult to eat. The staff were apologetic and took our comments seriously which was good. 24 hours after two of our group had food poisoning, can't say for sure if it was from their food.

My boyfriend eat here on the odd occasion we’re in chipping Norton - we wouldn’t go anywhere else. The food is always hot and incredible. The chicken just falls apart and I’ve never had a gristly bit (which for a picky eater is always a problem when trying a new takeaway). Genuinely really good food. (:

Jack and Petra from Worcester came and ate here. The food was great as Petra ate it all. They made a garlic and corriander nan which is a favourite, Special biriyani was the one of the best she has ate hence eating it all which she never does!! Keep up the standard and we will be back👍👍👍👍👍👍 thank you

Amazing food, service and beer.

If you want to be made to feel like an intruder rather than a customer, offered bland food and flat beer, but be able to shed a stone in bodyweight within 48 hours after your visit… then put your tolerance and immune system to the test and give Chipping Norton’s worst restaurant a try.

Difficult to call this a Indian restaurant as the food hardly resembles this type of cuisine.

Came from Newcastle for the weekend to visit Clarksons farm. Booked the restaurant in February as the reviews were outstanding. Well, this place is a must visit. The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Great atmosphere and delightful friendly staff. Really good value...

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and service. Owner greeted us and made us feel very welcome. Beer was great and curry’s were awesome

Had evening meal here with my husband and daughter and it was delicious! The portions were just right! Not so big that you were leaving half of it! So tasty! Staff were lovely too! Can’t fault it!

Not the first time we’ve eaten here and won’t be the last. Wonderful service & food is Devine. I can highly recommend !

Fantastic food and service! The lamb was succulent and the vindoloo chicken packed a punch. The keens rice was so good that we had to order a second portion. Great place and highly recommended!

Great food tasted fantastic. Value was pretty good too, staff were lovely and friendly will pop in again.

No need to book, I just walked in. The food was amazing, fresh and very tasty. Recommend by the land lady at the Kings Arms and what a recommendation. In a word fabulous 👍😊

Great food, great service. Only down for work but if i come down again i’ll definitely be popping in.

Amazing food and amazing service. Couldn’t ask for more. The servers really seem interested in you enjoyment and thrive off of good service

Excellent food and service and would definitely recommend. Great value. Ambience was a little lacking otherwise would have rated 5 star for this unpretentious little curry house. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Excellent food, clean and tidy venue. Very polite and friendly staff. Great location. Opening hours suited our late arrival in Chipping Norton.

We stayed at chipping Norton for a couple of nights, and the locals were super friendly, all of which recommended this Indian to us, we had our baby with us so sat us appropriately where we had plenty of space - it was mid week...

Great meal with the family. One of us wasn’t too keen on the flavor of their dish and they didn’t hesitate to quickly bring out a new one.

We were recommended this restaurant by the Inn we were staying at and we're not disappointed! All of the food we ordered was absolutely delicious and the service was brilliant too. We also loved the range of dips served with our poppadoms at the beginning!

Got a takeaway from spice of India, the food was fresh, great flavour, the garlic naan bread is delicious, the staff are very friendly, I’d highly recommend here for dinner. Got some mains, sides and sauces and none of them disappointed.

We came across this restaurant while in the area and having to rely upon reviews to know where to eat. It was Sunday evening and we didn't have a booking but were made welcome. The staff members were friendly and courteous, explaining the dishes and...

Very disappointing given the reviews. Meal was very average, lacking flavour. The poppadum's were soft which suggested they had been made a long while ago. The main courses were also disappointing. The whole place needed updating.

Very lovely restaurant excellent food, reasonably priced, great service and friendly staff. Definitely will come back next time I visit

Fab service great food will visit again next time we come back to chipping Norton in the Cotswolds

We had an outstanding meal here. The service was top notch, and everyone working there was very friendly. Between the three of us we had the madras, Kathmandu, and naga curries. They were all excellent! King prawn tandoori as a starter was very good. The...

We enjoyed a meal here recently for four, the food was tasty and good value. The device was fast and helpful. The toilets were a little run down but I didn't spend long in them!

Perfect, great service, great food, good location 35 minutes walk from chipping Norton caravan and camping site

Enjoyable food including vegetarian choices at value for money prices Complimentary drinks at the end of meal were most welcome

Two couples visiting Chipping Norton for the first time stumbled on a gem of a restaurant, tucked in a little corner next to the Kings Arms pub. Fabulous service fantastic speciality curry mmmmmmm. Will definitely return again. 👍👌😊

The food was good. Staff were very nice. Nice meal which came quickly. overall no complaints. (Extra just to fill up maximum characters)

Tucked away just off the market place you could easily miss this restaurant but what a shame that would be, super friendly staff, quick service, a good vegan selection and most importantly amazing food.

Very tasty food. Good size portions and great service would highly recommend. Will be returning in the future.

The food and service is fantastic, chef also recommends what sides go best with what you want as mains! Lovely people and a local favourite.

Don't bother, thought we would have a lunch here on Saturday, but rhey don't have nan bread, tandoori, or Tina at lunch !!!, what's the point of being open, so they missed out on at least £60 today

Small, family-run restaurant. It was bustling when I visited on a Saturday evening. Service was fast and all the food was delicious. A solid choice if you’re in the mood for a curry.

Delicious food, friendly and welcoming staff and great service. Lovely vegetarian options too, I really recommend this restaurant.

A little gem. Old style Bangladeshi restaurant but with an interesting menu. The food is excellent and the welcome just as good. AND it's superb value for money. Would certainly revisit if in the area.

Great service on a busy evening. Super food and friendly ambience. Will definitely return when we are in Chipping Norton

Lovely food with amazing staff!! The food is so tasty with friendly staff! Highly recommend! Defo will come back!

I came here with my wife and seven year old, we enjoyed the great food and the staff were friendly too. What more do you need?

Here on holiday. Nice chap sorted my order out. Easy ordering online. All food was hot and tasty. Asked for extra garlic in my Balti, and it was delicious. Chicken tikka and tikka masala just as good. Really pleased all round. We will order again when back later in the year.

Delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would visit again if in the area.

Lovely food, wonderful service. Great choice on the chefs special menu. Would definitely come again

The food was nice but they definitely overcharged for what we had there was only 2 of us, all we had was a main each and a drink.

A great meal with tasty food, served promptly in warm and comfortable surroundings. Very friendly owner who provides a warm welcome. We were a group of eight and all agreed their choice of food was tasty.

Tuesday night, was busy in this place. Food and service 10/10. Very tasty. Can recommend it. We had Madras and Tikka and onion rice. Try, you won’t be disappointed.

My second visit to this little gem and my husbands 1st visit and he came away loving it as much as I did! The food full of layers of taste- this restaurant will always be on our list when visiting from Ormskirk Lancashire The staff...

Avoid this place unless you are happy with poor quality food. Not worth it! All the 5 stars are a lie or are fake. We had a group of 6 of us on a monday evening to get the £13.50 deal. We ordered our food only to wait nearly an hour for our food! To be more confusing we were the only people in the restaurant... Then when we did get our food, which I ordered the butter chicken, it was so sweet! Like they added sugar to the dish. It was not good! It feels like a Indian place where it is far past its prime. Avoid this place unless you are happy with poor quality food.

Wonderful meal, mixed grill was phenomenal, owner and staff were fantastic. Would massively recommend

Enjoyable evening with excellent food and service. *******

Very friendly staff and helpful. Food was really good and tasty backed up with good service. Clean toilets and a good menu with lots of choice.

Full of oil curry was like water and expensive and small portions I ordered lamb tikka madras but just got lamb madras! Poppadoms was ok but put in the bag with chips and curry. Rice was ok my wife’s curry had sliced chicken and chunks in . Wish I taken it back

Great food and service, highly recommended

The service was speedy and polite. The beer was tasty. The food was extremely tasty. It was recommended to us from the pub next door, and it was an excellent recommendation.

Food was amazing, beautiful chilli chutney. Staff were attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Very good service, good food and great value for money, would definitely recommend, especially the Vindaloo & Chana masala!

Great service, lovely flavours. Curry could have been a larger portion. But apart from that it was lovely!!! Deffo eat here again

Really nice food great service would definitely go again.

We get every Indian take away we have from here and eat out here quite frequently. Wonderful food. Excellent staff and always friendly. Definitely recommend!

A squash club curry evening. Really delicious food, piping hot, reasonably priced. We always have a good experience here.

Meal was gorgeous, best Indian food I've tasted in a long time and I've had a few. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend.

Chef's Special simply amazing. Great service. Very good value for money. Highly recommended. Staff made us feel very welcome. Service great. Will be returning.

Great food and good service nice resteraunte and friendly waiters overall good and delicious spicy samosas 👍✌️👌🤘👍👍👍
