Spice Restaurant & Bar in Hambleton

Excellent food Excellent atmosphere

Good takeaway. Good portion size, tasty food.

Fantastic restaurant best Bengali restaurant in the area, food is amazing, staff so good, you will not be disappointed trust me 👌🏻

We stayed in Bedale as part of a golfing weekend, and visited this restaurant on our first night. I ordered the naga takari, and I can honestly say this was one the best (if not the best) curries I've ever tasted!. As someone who makes their own British Indian restaurant style curries at home, I wish that I'd asked for the recipe. Unfortunately I live 90 miles away, but I'm already planning to take the wife back up to Bedale just so I can visit this restaurant again 🙂

Myself and my partner moved to North Yorkshire last year and have been looking for a good Indian restaurant ever since, having spent the day at Middleham we chose to stop here for tea on the way home. Wow, Spice didn't disappoint one bit, by far the best Indian we have had in a long time and the best so far in North Yorkshire. Great food, welcoming staff, nice restaurant. Added bonus, on a Wednesday they have an offer on, 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 sundries for £29, the lamb chops were that good I asked for a double portion to take away for later, they didn't last long.

Best curry I’ve had in years. I normally only do an Indian 4 or 5 times a year cos I’m always disappointed but I had the chicken tikka achari, WOW!! Absolutely fantastic!! Full of flavour and the accompanying garlic rice and cheese nan bread were equally outstanding!! I should also mention the chicken liver tikka starter which was beautiful 👌🏻

Food was fantastic, prices very very reasonable, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will be returning next time I'm in the area.

Meal on wed anniversary had banquet on Wednesday great 👍

What a superb place. Food was amazing. Staff very friendly. Best Indian for Miles. Highly recommended We will visit regularly. Ernie G

Superb meal and great service from wonderful friendly staff

Good place to get spicy and delicious food.

The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. They even kept the place open late for us so we could enjoy finishing our meal. We enjoyed our visit very much.

Had a amazing meal tonight. Ordered 4 different starters,all of which were brilliant, best royal kebab ever, 2 types of prawn dishes amazing, and the curry was fabulous, the drizzle of honey on the peshawar naan bread is a stroke of genius. Service was attentive but never rushed and really relaxed. Brilliant 👏

Service is not great sadly. Staff were told that beer was flat and he said "that's the way kingfisher is" and did nothing. Then he asked if anyone wanted a second pint, from the fresh barrell admitting it was bad. When asking to pay individually waiter was rude and had the cheek to say people aren't normally allowed to do that. Food ok - had better but need some customer service training.

Food not as good as the other Indian restaurants in Bedale. Service friendly enough, seems a nice place, we only tried take away but won’t be back.

Lovely gem of a place please visit.

We were visiting area and decided to eat here. We prebooked as it was a Friday night. We were warmly greeted and offered a booth which was comfy and allowed plenty of space for food and drink. We had poppadoms mixed starter husband had his usual Lamb Balti which was nice and tender and with lots of flavour with Special Rice Peshawar Naan and Saag a loo. I like to try new dish whenever We go out and chose Lamb Hyderabadi Pradesh. This again had very tender Lamb and sauce was delicious. Very impressed, would recommend and wish we lived nearer.

Great restaurant, Food is spot on, and always a friendly service! I live down south but always visit when I’m up this way.

Lovely meal. Amazing flavour. Great service. Highly recommend Would visit again when next in the area.

Great takeaway tonight wife had prawn balti beautiful and I had a chicken Jalfrezi with the addition of some Naga pickle it was tremendous mushroom rice full to the brim. Thank you very much

Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Service was good, food was even better! Would come here again if in the area.

To the kids for a meal the other week as they had never tried Indian food before... They looked after us and talked the kids through the menu. They thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent. We went back two weeks later and they remembered us.

This restaurant is probably the best Indian restaurant we have visited in many years. The choice of dishes on the menu was fantastic with some brilliant chef specials , such as Aloo Patta- chicken with 21 different spices or the Dalcha duck, in itself a very tasty dish.These were just 2 of an extensive menu which was bold and fresh and full of new dishes, which we had never come across before. We went in a Wednesday were the special offer was £14.95 per person- any staters/ mains and sundries. Obviously we expected reduced portions, but the portions were immense. The whole of the restaurant was clean and presentable, including the toilets and kitchen, which we saw when we went to congratulate the chef Ali. The restaurant was open and inviting with the staff being ever so friendly and attentive, without over doing the “. Is everything alright” walk by. This place has to be visited as it as mentioned , is probably the stand out Indian restaurant in North Yorkshire.

Visited the restaurant for a quick meal, food was tasty and good portion sizes. Nice service and friendly staff

Lovely service , great food and good value. Would highly recommend. Banquet special is exceptional.

Excellent meal for 2,staff very friendly and our 2 curry were excellent cooked to perfection, value for money .we had chicken tikka Korai and a balti massala and a delicious nan bread .

After a miserable letdown from it's competitors across the road, we thought would give this restaurant a try, as we'd never been there before. Top marks guys! The food, the staff, attention to detail and welcoming chatter were top notch! They even let us stay after when the heavens opened and couldn't go anywhere. Was great chatting with staff even if not a footie or tennis fan. It was a funny and entertaining chat. The restaurant was immaculate. Did I mention the food was awesome. Will be visiting again 👌

The Spice Restaurant in Bedale was excellent. Thanks to Naz and Ali for their excellent service. We were up in Yorkshire for my daughters birthday and we decided to go to this restaurant. We would definitely go again when we’re up that way. Thank you for a great night.

Great food and reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Brilliant meal. Quick service. Polite staff. Naz delivered a personal taxi when we were stuck. Couldn’t speak better of him. 100% will be back

Easily the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’ve eaten in the four corners of the globe but this place beats them all. The madras tasted like they’ed bought 4 jars from Lidl and put them on my plate, My wife’s pathia was unrecognisable. My immediate thought about this place was (anyone seen Ozark) iT could only have been a tester. Yak, keep away!!

Very warm welcome from the friendly staff at this eat in or take away restaurant in Bedale. We ordered Chicken Tikka Balti, Chicken Tikka Rogan Josh and chicken Tikka Jalfrez with rice and chapattis. The order was ready within 15-20 minutes. All the dishes were beautifully spiced, a lovely heat to them and not over oily which you find with some takeaways. Lovely meal, and would highly recommend Spice as the best takeaway in Bedale.

My go to Indian in Bedale, never had a bad meal or service here 👌

Great fresh Indian fayre, friendly service, consistently good.

The food was cold and the bins had not been emptied for a long time clearly there was mould growing on everything. When calmly discussed with the manager I was told to leave the building and not to return! The photo speaks for itself, I asked if they have a cleaning company to which the manager replied he does it himself! Clearly not well enough, if that's the standard bin it makes me concerned what the cleanliness of the rest of the property is, so disappointed! When explaining that I was putting a lady product in the bin as there was no alternative, the manager told me I was disgusting and that should be saved for home as he should not have to sort out lady products! I explained that there are special bins for this and they are clearly tried to explain this can't be helped and they did not have appropriate bins in place, again he shouted very loudly pointing in my face to leave the premises telling customers not to worry I was just being rude to try to get a discount. another at all just concerned for the cleanliness of the building

Food was lovely and waiters very friendly. Would definitely go back again

The food was lovely and plentiful. Everyone was very happy with their choices, and we shared some dishes like the Dall and naans. We noted that the takeaway side of the business was brisk and felt this may have impacted on the dining side as service was slow at times, especially the drinks. Also of note on the booths area the seating was all very tired and in some areas in need of urgent repair. Next time, we'll ask to sit on the chairs and tables for a party of 5 rather than the booths.

Popped in on Saturday night it was very busy but didn’t have to wait too long, food was good for the price and staff were very helpful, it’s a 7/10 could do with a make over as the seats were a bit tatty but price was reasonable

First visit with family, really nice tasty food. We would visit again.

Absolutely terrible would never order again worst curry all 7 of us have ever tasted! Taste less bland had a lamb dish and never had any tomato or peppers in as described just full of onion

Spur of the moment visit encouraged by the banquet deal on a Wednesday night. Could not fault it one bit. Lovely big building. Tasty food. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend x

A beautiful meal. Service was amazing. We got a banquet meal for £14.99 per person and it was worth it. Really enjoyed it

Food was excellent. The young waiter was very courteous and attentive. Overall a very pleasant experience. Definitely would eat here again.

Excellent food and attentive staff.

Another amazing meal, great service as always. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. The Hartley’s

Absolutely fantastic meal, great customer service cheap as chips, will definitely be back. Thank you for making the end of our holiday perfect!

Food very nice. Place really needs an update.

We had a takeaway. Good customer service. Because they didn't write on the lids we couldn't work out which was which....apart from one had tomato in....what I did like was there was no oily sauce swimming on the top. Didn't taste too different to my home made curries! It was ok but not the best

Nice indian restaurant. Service was quick and staff are courteous.

Great meal both taste and price wise, staff were helpful. What more do you need?

Spotty dog all round!! Food was really good as was service, definitely worth a visit, number of unique or different dishes!

Been here before and food has always been good but this time we had to send one of our meals back because it was inedible the cutlery was dirty and the ladies toilets were far from hygienic and worst of all after eating there my daughter became very ill with food poisoning we won't be returning

Food is generally pretty decent and reasonably priced but there are a couple of things letting this place down. The main issue is grubby glasses and cutlery; plates are clean and the friendly staff will quickly replace glasses, but this shouldn’t happen on a regular basis. Furnishings are starting to show their age too. That said, food seems reliably good and there are a couple of slightly more unusual dishes on the menu. The Wed/Sunday special offer is very good value. It could be great place to visit if the attention to detail was better.

This was one of my favourite restaurants but it has gone downhill the last twice that we have been here. New Years Eve we excused the poor service as the place was very busy, but the service is equally as poor tonight and waiters are...

Delicious food and entertaining staff! The hot mixed meat platter is a must! Thanks Guys!

Been visiting for five years for takeaways. I enjoy their style and the price works for me

The menu is extensive with some interesting items. They have momos as a starter, I've only tried tibetan momos but these were very different but delicious. Don't overdo the starters or, like me, you won't be able to finish your mains, two would have been...

Just very, very good food, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Cobra and kingfisher on draft too. Nice staff, very helpful.

Family birthday booked for 7.30, main started to come out at 9.45, struggled to get drinks, recieved jugs of water after 3 attempts, then had to go to the bar to as for glasses 20mins later. Chased drinks order, part was sat on the bar,...

Lovely food but really poor service. Booked a table for 7 and arrived at 6:50. Sat down and ordered drinks. Poppadoms arrived and eaten, and still no drinks. Had to asked as they came to take our plates away for our drinks. 7:50 and still no starters. Had to ask for these. Ate these and dirty plates on the table for 15 mins. At this point I complained to the manager who explained that they were short staffed and had trainees. I get that. I am a manager myself but the service seemed really badly organised. Mains arrived and my daughter had masala sauce. We waited 5 mins then asked where the chicken was? The sauce was taken away and we had eaten most of ours before hers arrived. We had to ask for the bill twice and then when the bill was brought over the waiter asked what drinks we had had so he could work the bill out. Lovely food but rubbish service. We won't be back.

Was Awful staff very rude throwing the plates on our table because we kept asking for things multiple times because they would forget, our drinks left on the bar for 40 mins was warm With ice melted customer actually reminded them it was our drinks,...

Family came in on Saturday at 7pm. Waited 45 minutes for starters and after 1 1/2 hours still no main courses. Poor service and average food. Will not be returning.

Went here for a meal during a holiday in bedale and it was excellent. Food was fab and the staff were very friendly. Good value for money too.

Have eaten here before and enjoyed it but this time visited with a party of 6 (4 Adults, 2 Children). Everybody in the restaurant was complaining for the same reason as it took 2 hours to serve poppadoms and a main course, yet takeaways were...

Very very slow service. We waited a while before our order was taken and even longer for our food to arrive. It was nice when it finally came. It was even slow going trying to pay the bill!

Staying in the Bedale area and spotted this restaurant on Saturday morning when walking down high street (almost missed it as it is right at the end) We ate early and I was pleased we did as the restaurant filled up very quickly. My wife’s...

As a tourist family to Bedale, this was a recommendation from previous people in our holiday cottage. The food, flavour and quality of ingredients were amazing. Very friendly staff and very clean restaurant. Extremely enjoyable. Thank you. We wish you the very best with your business and if we lived close by, we would definitely be back

Decided an Indian takeaway was needed as we were staying in an Air B’nB close to Bedale. Selected here after due consultation with TripAdvisor. To be fair there were a number of options and all looked good. We were not disappointed. Mixed platter starter, hash...

Had a fantastic meal early Saturday evening. Great tasting food at a good price. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend this place and will be eating here again when in Bedale. Thanks Jason and Helen.

Excellent food and service lovely friendly atmosphere and staff

Absolutely fabulous food and friendly staff. Would recommend a visit even offered to take us back to the next village. Thank you so much.!

Just finished our takeaway and have to say the food is great. I arrived a little early and the front of house was a good conversationalist and made me feel welcome until the food arrived. Will definitely be back. Thank you

A big thanks to the staff working on the evening of Saturday 5th December. I had major difficulties on a long journey in my car and turned up at 11pm in search of hot food. I couldn't sit inside at that time due to COVID...

Always a fantastic meal well cooked well presented consistent in quality taste every time. Currently due to COVID19 they can only offer takeaway and delivery but it’s worth it and we must support our hospitality providers so give them a go you won’t be dissatisfied and if something is not right then tell them as they would prefer to have realistic feedback so they at least have an opportunity to sort things out

Exelent, always enjoy dining here.The food is just the best. Will be coming back again.

Busy night , said 1 hour for takeaway . Turned up after 1 hour and waited and waited ! After another hour the food arrived . Apologies are not good enough, you do not deserve business and will not have mine again !!! AVOID

I think they are excellent .. Friendly service . Food equal to any I've had in 50 odd years .. Will go again when next in area on holiday ..

First class Indian food with excellent customer service. 5 star all the way... A real treat during a trip out to Bedale

Amazing food with great service and friendly staff

I never have momo this type of in this world. Second ones is a momo. Momo original come from Nepal. Momo is Nepali street food. I am also ones of chef of India restaurant and Nepali .every where be a fly around the restaurant.

We had a really delicious meal last night; full marks to their talented Chef. We could taste all the subtle ingredients he used, and had the best freshly made garlic and coriander naan bread I've had for ages. I would highly recommended. K Lindsay. PS: All Covid hygiene rules in place.

Still a great place to me. The service may be a little slow at time but the food and the staff are worth it. Never had a bad meal in 5 years and counting

Went out for an Indian meal while staying nearby. The food was yummy, and it was nice to see the restaurant and take away busy. Plenty of spaces between tables, and hand sanitizer available. As we were walk ins rather than a booking we were not asked for any trace details, but I really enjoyed my meal out. Thank you for the wonderful food

Food was good and the service attentive although a little slow, but we had the time so no issues. The final bill was a plesent surprise. Well worth a visit.

Turned up having called ahead to make reservation and ensure social distancing in place. When we arrived the place was HEAVING. Every single seat occupied, no social distancing measures. About 20 people inside door waiting for a table (plus a queue outside). What is the point of everybody working hard to maintain social distancing if you can't be bothered to implement it? I'm afraid you have lost us as customers permanently because this is a serious issue. I award you zero stars but the review shows up as one because zero is not offered as an option. Please take measures to rectify this. Everyone knows you have lost money by having to be closed, but do not be greedy and flaunt the rules. Act responsibly so that everyone can remain healthy and safe.

0 stars. The whole place is absolute chaos. We were never even offered a drink! Booked a table tonight for 6:30pm, arrived at 6:25 and we were ignored by all waiters for 10 minutes. When the waiter finally spoke to us he openly admitted ‘we’ve...

We visited on the first night of the governments 50% off meals scheme and were not disappointed Service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and thought the portion size and quality of the food was excellent...

Great choices, well cooked and plenty of it. Staff and service very good

Had a fantastic meal staff very helpful highly recommend
