Spice of Life in North East Lincolnshire

Another lovely night celebrating our sons birthday! Was brilliant service like always! We've been coming here many years now, mainly to celebrate birthdays 🎂 but on the weekends too! 🍻 The staff are lovely and the food is always amazing! We recommend this place to everyone we know. Thankyou X

I had a fantastic evening celebrating my 50th birthday with family. We all throughly enjoyed our meals. The food service and atmosphere were excellent. Made to feel very welcome and all staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going back. 😊🎂🥳

Fabulous food, great service. Always enjoy eating here, never had a bad meal. Best Indian food in Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

Good selection and dishes spiced very differently, good quality meat especially the lamb used. Buffet evening is great value and food is of the same high standard, regularly replenished.

I got a delivery from these guys and it was absolutely fantastic. Food was so tasty , hot , and exactly what I wanted. Deffo hit the spot. Definitely use again

Lovely food & the service was brilliant, Shaun the waiter was so friendly. Will definitely visit again when we're here again next year. 😋

1st experience here tonight with my wife thought I'd give it a try instead of the regular place in Cleethorpes. I was pretty disappointed to be honest with the food. I'm a bit of season pro when it comes to Indian food and this was just very basic with not a lot of great taste to be honest. For the price of the bill at the end of the meal it certainly wasn't very cheap either compared to other Indian restaurants I've visited recently. That being said I won't be rushing back any time soon which is a real shame.

Ordered online tika massala and got something totally diffrent delivered, a tub full red sauce and few bits chicken, no taste to at diffrent as coconut milk, the compagny is ignorend abouth my complain, won't order again

Very good food. The chef's special is excellent 👌

I ordered it on uber eat I got a chicken chat asked for it madras hot no tase asked for chef speciality the decision says you choose your meat we do the rest so I chose lamb or mutton if there do mutton and madras hot no tase no flavour at all not spicy in the curry or the chat the curry was chicken not lamb or mutton or goat total disappointment the chef clearly can't cook or as no tase buddies and doesn't know his curry spice strengths

A night away, seeing a band. We have popped here for tea. My word, the food was amazing. Service was smashing. We will be returning.

Ordered food over 2 hours ago, after 1 hour 15 rang and was told it had just left, then called again 15 mins later and told the machine hadn't accepted the order (a lie, it had and had been charged for it) After 2 hours and 20 mins I called and cancelled the order...absolute joke.

Fantastic night , amazing food and great service . Would recommend to everyone. Great ambiance , food was authentic . Perfect night .

WHAT CAN A SAY WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT CELEBRATING OUR DAUGHTER 40TH BIRTHDAY , FOOD WAS FANTASTIC STAFF WAS AMAZING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED XX A BIG THANK YOU TO SHAUN FOR LOOKING AFTER US AND MAKING IT SPECIAL LOVE FROM TESSA AND JOHN COOPER X

Good for sensibly priced. Thank you Sean for your recommendation from the menu. Here on business and read the reviews. Very extensive menu so the recommendation was welcome

Just had an excellent meal at spice of life this evening food was excellent well worth the visit. Good service and friendly staff.

Greta Place. Staff are amazing. Bought new laptop for us to watch footy. Food was excellent too. Great Indian. Brilliant

Very nice, great staff good food and service, lovely atmosphere, would go again i eat out a lot with work and would recommend

Absolutely amazing as always. The food is stunning, authentic, and always 100% delicious. The staff go over above to make sure your experience is perfect. Menu choice is huge for food and drinks, having a fully licensed bar again with a large selection of beer, wine and larger for good value. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the atmosphere is perfect. Can't wait until our next visit as we are regulars when in Grimsby.

First time here. Despite being mega busy ( a good sign!!) staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Totally recommend ❤️

All the food was cold had to reheat it and was over half hr late won’t be ordering from here again

Wrong rice delivered, wrong meat. Ordered lamb and got chicken. Wrong nann bread delivered, onion bhaji were old and refried and tough to eat. Never again will I order from here, been disappointed too many times

the best Indian we've had in ages first time using this place would definitely recommend and will be ordering again. well done 👏

We have used this restaurant and take away on many occasions probably spending a good few hundred pounds a year. Today I ordered the meal online and when I got to the restaurant to pay for it, I thought it was a little expensive. So I brought the website up but the same items in the basket to find they were £3 less in total. When I asked them about it the answer was you get a discount on the website not on the phone they were not interested remotely in putting it right and basically just said it was hard luck because I had ordered on the phone. We will not be ordering from this restaurant again or attending .

Poor food quality and over 30 minutes late!

I ordered chicken tikka masala which didn’t smell or taste anything like it should, it was bland and tasteless and the chips were horrible, taste like they’ve used old stale fat

Unfortunately couldn’t eat the chicken as it looked to be pinkish and was quite chewy and hard to bite into, a refund for the korma would be appreciated however the rest was good

when you haven't had an Indian curry delivery for a long this certainly hit the spot 😆 on time arrived hot and a surprise of a couple poppadoms 😁 can't wait for our next one!

We ordered a keema curry Tasteless mince We ordered lamb bhuna Nothing like bhuna had lots of bhuna curries but the taste is nowhere near Smashed to pieces poppadoms Chapatti thick as nan bread cold and pale Only good bits was the mango and mint sauce . Chips was horrible worst we have ever had . It's not hard to fry potatoes. Thank God we had delivery and not in restaurant. I am from Bradford which is curry king but this was shocking I could do better myself.

Nice place and staff clean nice environment Sunday Buffet I would strongly recommend putting a tikka masala on and possibly putting a bhuna/Rogan Josh on aswell too bring in more customers target a bigger audience. Food quality and taste was spot on....Would Come again

Ace night great food came here for birthday £70 well spent and some extra cake and ice cream on the house

Still waiting to receive either the crispy chicken as advertised or a chicken Korma as an alternative as per complaint on just eat ?

tasteless, cold iv ordered from here before and it was amazing, but I really think our meals tonight were warm ups from the night before, so I won't be using again, sorry.

Awful food very dry, didn’t even send the right curry

Me and bf went here for the first time yesterday evening. From the second you walk in, you notice just how beautiful it is inside and we were greated by the staff who seated us promptly. After we had looked at the menu for some time, because we couldn't decide from all the wonderful dishes they had to offer, the waiter asked us each what kind of meat, flavours and spices we liked to which he recommended the Lamb Karahi. We both ordered it along with the Saag Aloo, Tarka Daal, Chilli Cheese Naans, Mushroom & Special Rice. Once the food was ready it was brought over on a little trolley and I was amazed at what I saw and smelt. The Lamb Karahis were sizzling away in pans and the colours of the food was extrodinary. The food was immense and so deliciously tasty that we ate the lot! From the amazing food, excellent service and how beautifully it is decorated (from the lighting down the seating), we will definitely be coming back. If you haven't eaten here before, I would highly recommend it - you will not be disappointed! :)

ordered the meal deal. absolutely shocking quality. I will never order from here again and neither will the family. just not worth it. I'd have enjoyed eating the 20 pound note more.

Ordered came late and minus the chips

Had our meal delivered to our home tonight from here it was very disappointing we only live a Two min drive away yet our food was delivered cold the starters were dry and our main meal was really not that good we had decided to give spice of life another chance as our last takeaway took 2hrs 30 mins to be delivered all we can say no more chances we are done with this restaurant

Always fresh and hot. Usually have lamb balti, I've never had a bad one.

Got chicken tikka masala delivered 2 hours late chips were undercooked meal was cold appalling never order from there again

Food was delicious, but missed off the naan bread from the order :(

Disappointing… order not complete; missing nann. Initial wait changed from 35mins to an hour and 5 and was still late. Food was not hot.

order was late kept telling us driver was round corner the chips are not cooked disgusting won't be ordering from here again

Curry spot on rice spot on bhajis phenomenal Shish fandabidosie Nan bread cremated

popperdoms was all smashed,both currys and chips was only just warm not the greatest we have had but did taste nice

Absolutely delicious - everything was quality freshly made - definitely be trying them again

Very good service will be using again

Fabulous food, best Indian around.

Ordered online. Was an hour and a half late. Was cold. We started to serve it up and realised they had sent a set meal for two instead of 4 like we ordered. And was also missing another item. Asked for a refund was given £6 for the inconvenience basically. Shame really thankfully our usual takeaway was on speed dial.

1 hr 10mins late with items missing...won't be using again

2 hour 20 minutes delivery time and Luke warm food, what a disappointment.

Thought i would try this place again. 3 hours from order to delivery!! Ordered tandoori dry. No mint sauce, no salad even after been 2 hours late. Definitely won't be back.....

Was over 40 mins late. Food was warm at best, curries were quite nice despite that but chips looked and tasted like were yesterday's left overs.

The best Indian food I have had absolutely fantastic

Visited Spice of life mid March 2024 , the first thing you should be aware of is at the moment they do not have a drinks licence altho they don't mind you going to the off licence just on the corner to buy some alchahol , but still not the same as a nice cold pint of Cobra .I am also not sure if the place has changed hands as we did notice some changes in the decor and staff , but the quality of the food hasn't changed , its as good as ever it was .

Very bland food , not tasty at all

This is so bad got a take away from here missing rice that I ordered for my daughter then had to wait nearly an hour for it to come when speaking on the phone to someone they was rude food wasn’t even hot so my daughters curry was stone cold time the rice came joke if you ask me

The food is great, service is amazing, and the restaurant is lovely and clean! toilets are very nice too! definitely recommend 👌🏽

I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of Indian food in general, but the majority of my group decided to go here for dinner. The menu is so long, it caters for everyone’s taste. I actually chose an Indian dish, even though there were different options available too, like breaded chicken pieces or fish and chips… classics. I didn’t regret it. It was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best I ever had. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will surely visit again.

Excellent customer service very friendly food delicious and restaurant was spotless I definitely be returning thanks everyone

Prices have gone up which I didn’t mind as don’t mind paying for good food but ordered a madras. Wasn’t spicy just so salty almost inedible !!

Brilliant food as always , friendly staff , really good with my autistic boy had his own table and was waited on like a king , can't thank the guys enough

Food has never disappointed me here. It always tastes great. I am personally not a great fan of the interior, but this is a matter of taste. Prices are reasonable and food quality is good. What more to expect in Grimsby???

As always the quality of the meal was outstanding, the delivery was earlier than I was expecting. The delivery driver was polite and courteous. I can’t find fault with any aspect of my experience.

Confused why the chickin peices didn’t come cut up n🥴. If your ordering chickin bites you would expect bites not a whole chickin peice on the bone.

I’m asked to review a comment on food quality but I haven’t received it yet. Still not received at 21.10 after just eat says delivery was at 20.30! Nobody answering land line now.

My order was missing the drink I ordered so I paid 5 pounds for a drink I didn't receive

We have used this restaurant regularly but after tonight’s visit we shall not go again! Their customer service is ZERO!! We order two pints of coke as we had had enough to drink it came and was just carbonated water was disgusting. So we were offered 2tins of Diet Coke and when they arrived we asked if we were going to be charged £3 per tin as this is what a pint was and we were told we wouldn’t be charged. When we paid the bill it was £3 per tin and when we queried it we were offered a 10p refund!!! Who in their right mind would order a tin of coke at £3!!! We then had a conversation with I presume the manager and he said £3 per tin was acceptable in a restaurant! So we paid the bill but will not return as they would rather lose the custom over 2 tins or coke! Very poor customer service for a business what a joke!!!

Delicious food freshly cooked with an extensive menu, friendly staff and a beautiful large tastefully decorated restaurant

Had to call the restaurant to chase the order up as it was late

32 minutes late and food is cold. Total waste of time and £33! Puts a bad name on your business

Food cold didn't taste nice at all

Nice food but waited an hour and 50 min for delivery, order was slightly wrong as well, not worth calling back up and complaining due to the length of time we had already waited. I had to chase order via the phone, they gave the excuse that its bad weather and therfore this is slowing down deliveries, there is nothing wrong with the weather, good driving conditions. I wouldn't order for delivery again.

Huge portion, food very tasty. Satisfied because food was as I wanted. When I chose mild was mild when spicy was spicy. Waiters very friendly. 100% recommending.

Absolutely disgusting our son was treating us to dinner as I had not been well he rung these guys placed the order it came. 4 x onion burghers 2 not cooked 2 burnt ro a crisp couldn't get teeth into it. Chicken chatting OK. Biryani chicken chicken pink chicken korma chicken pink poppadoms crispy rice cold chips cold didn't touch samosas. Son rang restaurant spike to someone told them what was what he apologised and said he would send fresh. This time one portion extremely burnt onion burghers 2 curry dishes still not cooked spoke to manager who said he didn't hear my son saying korma but that is by the by when he spoke to me he said he would do the whole order again at a loss to him because he doesn't want to lose customers too late for that mate a Lot of people will be bypassing your curry house. New order came poppadoms all broken 2 x portions onion bajees 2 were warm but not pasty in the middle 2 we inedible burnt to a crisp. Not impressed at all from my son ordering dinner around 5pm it was around 8 pm when my husband decided to have something to eat and said he wished he hadn't as it was disgusting before my son and husband ate their chicken dishes and I mean couple tablespoons full I had to cut the chicken to make sure it was cooked before they ate it I had a cooked onion barrel and have been up all night being sick. Totally upset thatvmy son paid a lot of money and quality of food was disgusting the manager i spoke to asked for food bavk to show his chef i said the quality of food served to us your chef needs sacking as he is doing nothing for your reputation im just flabergasted that a chef would cook such dishes inadequately and send them for public consumption and feel that the meal was fit for purpose think enviromental food hlygine people should get involved and see the qulilty y of food that is being served even eating buffet style the food is luke warm when we sat in the resturant i ordered onion barjees as none on buffet first lot came not cooked properly through middle luke warm next lot burnt to a crisp you ought to be ashamed sending out substandard food totally unacceptable. Even delivery driver couldnt believe the state of the barjees i would say he was the best thing to come from the resturant

Excellent food and fast and hot perfect

Ordered a supposedly mild dish, delivered half hour after latest eta. Then the dish was super hot , I had less than a teaspoon and couldn’t breathe. Contacted them told they add masala for taste. Nowhere on that dishes menu stated this otherwise I would never have ordered it. They sent another an hour later, still inedible. Thick grease on the top and again super hot.

ajso no chips or rice with order , last time i use them

we waited along time and when I came it was cold there was only one kebab in the tub and no poppadoms either

I will never order from these again. Sent the wrong order twice. Adding masala sauce for flavour. Would they add meat to a vegetarian meal for flavour. Expensive, rubbish cold food and arrived half hour late.

Food was late and cold. Was tasty though

I made a mistake when ordering online I called the restaurant and they were very helpful sorted out my mistake. They were very polite and the food was great

I asked for something that I wasn’t able to do myself on the menu as it wasn’t on there and they catered to it. Lovely food if you sit in the restaurant or delivery.

as always my favourite Indian in Grimsby did not disapoint. good service. i was so hungry and was 5 minutes early which was great. ordered a new hot 🔥 🥵 😋 😍 lamb curry and loved it along with nan papadoms and sauces. Never order Curry from anyone but Spice of life 👌. They the best curry house in Grimsby

Unfortunately half of the order was missing from the original delivery, we called the restaurant who said they had a driver there and would send it straight away (we live a 5/10 min drive away) it finally arrived 40 mins later by which time the rest of our order wasn't at its best after us trying to keep it warm, the rice and chips were dry.

didn't get my poppadoms but otherwise all good 👍

The food was tasteless definitely not the usual food from here. The order was 45 minutes late. If they can’t stick to delivery times then they should state that when ordering

I messed up my delivery they sorted it out thank you so much spice of life

Food was fine although missing a couple of items (rice). The delivery time was awful (we were told the food was with diver and it still took 45 minutes more) and was lukewarm when it arrived. Total time from ordering was 2 hour 40 minutes.

Have eaten here before ( all good ) and they send me 10% off - for next time order online - been trying to order for over an hour - the site keeps crashing, it also keeps suggesting to download their app!!!!!!! DO YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE PRICES ON THE APP ARE £1 MORE EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!! THAN THE MENU , SO FOR EXAMPLE I WANT 7 ITEMS SO THATS £7 EXTRA FOR USING THE APP !!!!!!!!! THAT IS CLEARLY DISAPPOINTING AND DISHONEST!!!!!!!!

No popadoms delivered which was ordered, food was alright and delivered on time shame on the missing element.

Worse Indian takeaway I have ever had

Great, quality food, full of flavour

The food was delivered cold, so had to reheat it. One of the onion bhajis was rock hard & the naan bread was hard too, so couldn’t eat it

Was two hours late so disappointed

Food was delivered quickly and was fresh.

Took nearly two hours to come rang up said on way still waited an extra 30 mins food was cold over cooked and burnt didn’t send items I did phone up they did offer to send missing and over cooked food but I declined and they offered to send us £20 voucher which was posted last night we always use here and always spend £40 to £60 and last nights was £61. I was not happy last night

The chips were non edible and the food wasn't to it's usual standard

It come 35 min late but it was hot and nice

Service was excellent, staff were friendly and polite. The restaurant was clean and well lit. The food was amazing with generous portions. Excellent experience from the second we walked in, we will certainly be back.
