Our first time at the Spice of Life and it will certainly not be the last. The food was excellent and the portions were most generous. Service was also excellent, attentive without being intrusive. It also has the benefit of their own parking to the rear of the restaurant.

Cannot overstate how delicious the food is!!! Every single dish was bursting with flavor and presentation is beautiful. The service is amazing and prices very reasonable especially for how ridiculously tasty everything is. If I didn’t live 100 miles away, I would be here once a week.

We don’t even live in Inverurie and have an Indian takeaway in our closest town but I’d rather go here than anywhere else, even Aberdeen. The food is authentic and the flavours are out of this world. They do a coconut rabbit stir fry which I adore. Try these guys you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I use Spice of Life fairly regularly and are never disappointed. Food is very well presented, great taste and attentive service. My wife especially likes the Labradab Chicken while I either have the Lamb chops or the Lamb Bhuna. I also recommend the garlic naan. It's light, slightly crispy and well seasoned. Last Saturday it was the perfect pick-me-up after a disappointing football result.

We were struggling to find anywhere for our intended lunch of soup and a sandwich and spotted the thali menu. Place ticked all of the boxes. Parking behind the restaurant, elegant decor, lovely waiter and seriously tasty food. Menu was way out of the ordinary. Can't rate the atmosphere as, surprisingly, we were the only people there. I hope that Inverurie appreciates what it has

The Gobi Manturian starter was the best I have had in years.👏 Our mains were so tasty and lots of meat & sauce Staff are friendly & helpful. Great service and atmosphere Definitely will return and try a takeaway in the future.

Was pleasantly surprised to find this authentic Indian restaurant of all the places in Inverurie and the food taste, prices and authenticity to my surprise was much better than a lot of Indian restaurants in London. To top it up their service is extremely good, personalised treatment, especially to match Indian taste - spicy etc, chef is Indian and staff is extremely efficient, they offer catering services for big events like birthdays etc, reasonably priced. Pre book during weekends, can be busy at times.

Delicious food , very near to fine dining, not regular Indian cooking, normally indian restaurant make big pot of sauce whenever we order curry, they pour that sauce then mix the masala but this restaurant look different. All the naan bread are crispy and tasty. Garlic rice is exceptional, Recommend, worth for your money . ✅ please serve more salad for the customers.

presentation 10/10 service 7/10 food 6/10 price 1/10 atmosphere 5/10 cleaness 10/10 The food was well overpriced, they came over said would u like poppadoms... yes please. .. 5 ? yes please. then on reciept been charged £5 . and charged £1.80 for chutneys.... I wasn't asked do you want to order poppadoms.. I wasn't meantioned cutneys .... cokes were £3.10 each . and were cans opened at the till . Hooe not multi pack. felt robbed butter chicken and tikkas were 12.95 each . about 5 bite size chicken bites and far to much sauce to make it look more. rice is an extra 4.95 also , so £18 nearly for just a curry and rice . add one poppadom £19, and add 1 coke that's £22 for 1 person!! service on entering wasn't much special . compared to the local Chinese restaurant. when in the Chinese returant we were greated with smiles and appreciation. the actual service at table was quiet and to be honest not that friendly . the bill for 5 of us, mum and dad and 3 teens just shy of £150 !! biggest bill we have ever had :( 😞 I guess check 2023 menu .... not old ones ... Worked out £29.69 each Not coming back thanks .. no way

Working in the area today and just called in for dinner. Fantastic food. I consider myself a bit of a curry connoisseur - living in Leicestershire and spoilt for choice in fine Indian cuisine but this is up there with the best and probably the finest curry I have had for over ten years. Very well balanced - spice, sweetness, texture all to perfection.
