Spice River in Wolverhampton

Well where to start ' gone are the days of complimentary poppadoms £1.00 each , sauce and onions are another £1.75 portions are small needed a chippy afterwards !!! My problem the wife liked it !!!!

Me and my partner visited this place as a one off and since than have returned most Saturdays receiving the best quality food. The madras is one of the best I have had and would 100% recommend. The service from everyone there is brilliant and they are a great bunch of lads.

Lovely restaurant,very busy with deliveries but it doesn't interfere with restaurant diners,very friendly welcome,it's our place every time we want to eat out.

Staff extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Delicious food, and really nice atmosphere! Been here multiple times, always the same excellent customer service and great food. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

A group of us ate here & we had a fantastic meal. There is a varied menu to choose from and you can take your own alcoholic drinks. The staff made us feel welcome and we're attentive. One of the best meals I've had for a long time at a curry house. Well worth a visit.

Went there Friday 9th august the food was amazing best curry I have had in long time and staff are sound I will be definitely going back soon thank you

Spot on for a Monday night, very quiet as to be expected but the phone never stopped ringing which speaks volumes, they are busy guys. The food was hot, tasty and came quickly to the table. The price range was spot on and we will definitely be back very soon. Keep up the good work guys.

Absolutely love this place never disappointed staff and food aways amazing

Had delivery.. yet again excellent service.. excellent price and fantastic food.. thank you all..

This is our go to restaurant for when we want a curry! Every time we have the lamb it’s so soft and beautiful 100% recommend.. service over the phone is so helpful.. food is always so so good!

Disgusted with attitude of Manager We always use Spice River, Today we ordered King Prawn Korma £9.50 Chicken Passanda £7.95 & Chicken Tikka Masala £7.95 Sauce, Naan etc fine but 4 prawns for £9.50 5 small bits of chicken in Masala 6 small bits of chicken in Passanda Tubs full of sauce but 4 PRAWNS? less than half a chicken breast in each chicken dish!!! I called to complain, they spoke with chef who stated he puts 8 prawns in & 8 pieces of chicken in each. I asked If believe chef or customer, he said what can we do. I said at least £10 should be refunded from the £41 cost. I was offered £10 off our next order, I explained we wouldn't order again as might get a problem again. The person on phone spoke with manager again but refused to refund £10. I asked If happy for me to leave a bad review & would never use them again & just said thank you. What a rip off, If I sat Inside I would have sent meal back! Customer service shocking, I have been to Spice River many times over 3 years, once before had a problem & used elsewhere but last time was good so ordered again. I have talked with staff inside & been nice chat, so to treat a regular customer like this is shocking & I hope you close down for ripping us off.

Very nice, food was delicious and would highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Ordered from the website and the food took ages to come and there was some issues with the delivery service, so we had to call two times. The food was okay, the naan was tough, the chips were ok and the Balti had like 5 pieces of chicken in. Food arrived quite cold despite the fact that the place is 6 mins away.

2nd time order and the food hasn't changed. Taste really good and reasonably priced. Ordered online through their website, easy to use ordering page. Only downside was there were no pictures, they should have included this with even a thumbnail. Other than this, all good. Recommended!

Excellent food and brilliant polite service.

Can't say enough positive things about spice river.. food "amazing" staff "superb" Great night out

Had a lovely time out with girls from work .Food was exceptional and so was the service .

Had first curry from here tonight food was very nice tasty and temp was perfect. There was one thing that let it down was that the tikka masala that I ordered only had 4 pieces of chicken in so portions need to be a bit bigger. Other then that I will be be back very soon to try other things on the menu like the special nann they do

Great place,great food... go and try the food

It was super expensive with super small portions- there were only 3 pieces of meat in beef nihari and tawa lamb. I will never recommend this place.

Food was good but the poppadoms were cooked on old oil!!!!

Ordered for delivery and was very impressed. Third time ordering from here and I can't say enough how lovely the staff are handing the order and quick delivery. The food is delicious every time Thankyou!

Absolutely gorgeous food. Was just me and my friend. Staff were polite and were always asking if everything was OK. Will definitely be coming back

Really nice curry, I had jalfrezi, reasonably priced.

Great food, great prices bigger portions then most

Lovely experience, definitely go again

Very clean, and good food, I like the fact that you can have 2 different dishes

Great place to eat will definitely go again very soon

Really nice and clean, food very tasty and friendly staff, have been here quite a lot, always a great time, however recently returned to find soft drinks no longer allowed to be bought in by yourself, whilst I dont mind purchasing the soft drinks here, I did feel a little ripped off, it was almost £4.00 for a large coca cola, this was poured from 2 cans of pop,, so I felt this to be rather expensive, its not as if they have pumps to maintain, also my glass didn't completely empty the two cans, but I was not offered the remainder of which I had paid for. So yes, great night, great food, great service, but really don't like being ripped off for the drinks, which I have to have as I'm the driver of our group, cheaper to bring your own alcohol. Sorry gents at spice river, not your fault, it's a management issue.

Great service food was absolutely stunning full of lovely flavour couldn't fault it

Having eaten in the restaurant I was worried about trying a delivery from there as they never are quite as good and I was worried it would put me off returning, I should not have been worried at all, I have probably just eaten the best delivered Indian food ever, and i’ve had a few lol Well done to Spice River, there are soooo many average to poor offerings locally but these lot have nailed it, hope the quality continues.

Visited on friday night. Staff were very friendly and food was amazing. Will be returning 👍🏻

A very clean and well maintained restaurant the staff we're very polite and professional. We ordered over 15 dishes and they all were served at the same time. The food looked great and tasted even better 👍👍👍

Excellent quality of food and good service

I don't remember being charged for poppadoms and relish they are normally complimentary. Enjoyed my meal, went with quite a large party so service was a little slow but understood. No ice for drinks or to keep our drinks cool. A little annoying but no major issue. All in all a good meal would eat there again if couldn't find any thing better.

Very clean, the atmosphere was very pleasant music at a nice relaxing pace, nicely decorated with nice relaxing lighting. The staff Midge and James were very friendly and professional and paid attention to detail especially with our request, everything we asked for we got, the food was hot when served and tasted really good, we also had a takeaway for our daughter and she said the food was of good standard. We will return and hope others read our review and give Spice River a try and enjoy their own experience.

Decent Indian restaurant, good food, lovely staff. Take your own booze.

Whilst i was pleased with the level of service, the food was really disappointing. It lacked any flavour and tasted insipid. I whilst the containers are large the contents doesn't have alot of meat in them. I had the chicken tikka and it was swimming is sauce but only had 6 pieces of chicken in it...why? The bhaji's were nice but I didn't bother to eat the naan so won't comment on them. This was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time and had to throw the tikka away. I think it's time to find a new indian takeaway.

Food was amazing! The best Indian restaurant I have been to in a long time. The beef tawa bhoona was gorgeous! Will definitely be going back again

The only "classic" sit down restaurant worth visiting in the local area. With the influx of Nepalese & Indian bar a grills. Broadening of the taste buds and standards. It's the only restaurant that is comparable. Take your own drink, good food and service. What more can you ask? I wouldn't reccomend it, if it wasnt good.

Mij and the boys have done a wonderful job turning this outdated place back to life!! Honestly have been using spice river for at least a year and not a bad word to say. Tremendous, some of the best lamb chops I have ever had and the Tandoori Mixed grill is to die for!! such a friendly team and make you feel very welcome and at home. Can’t wait to go back.

Was there today because wanted to try something new and have to say am VERY disappointed. Price very expensive Portion EXTREMELY small Definitely other restaurants serve better/appropriate portions at lower prices!!! Wouldn't recommend neither go again!!

Beautiful food very fresh. Brilliant customer service always listen to your needs. Best Indian restaurant in Wednesfield!!!!

First time here last night, friendly staff, beautiful food would definitely recommend and go again thank you

Guys are so friendly in this place and the food.....well the food speaks for itself 👌👌👌

The food was amazing and very generous portions

Always have a great experience at Spice River. Midge and his team are extremely friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We always have a great night there.

First time ordered and defo last time.messed our order up then rang shop to rectify order waited further 45minutes and still wrong order.NOT GOOD.😡

Just moved to Wednesfield, best restaurant for miles!

What a night !! Great experience

Nice food. Nicely presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. What's not to like. Will definitely go back and would recommend it to a friend.

Food was great... service was great.. we will be back..

Nice restaurant with average tasting food but a great service.

Exceptional. This not Indian restaurant food. This is Indian hotel food. Should be winning awards anytime soon!

Very nice food atmosphere was good not to expensive will be going again

Very friendly waiters and excellent service. Menu is very good, all the popular regular dishes catered for and some very tempting specials. Difficult choices as so much selection. No licenced bar. Prices also very reasonable. My kids are fussy eaters but when we take them they love the food.

Family meal on Friday and as usual the food and service was superb 👌 Great prices too!

Simply stunning, exceptional food and brilliant service, cannot recommend this place enough 😋😋

We have found this restaurant the best one around and it's our go to place now

Love this place Friday night no rush friendly.little gem

We went last night for a meal. Staff were attentive from the word go. Although they were extremely busy they were still lovely. Service was excellent. And the food was piping hot and delicious. Definitely will return and recommend. Thank you 👌

Exerlent experience great value staff couldn't do enough 10/10

My favourite takeaway. Never had a bad meal from here. Staff are always extremely pleasant and the food always tastes amazing, great spices and always as described. Portions are great and food always arrives nice and hot.

OMG best curry around what a hidden gem and supper quick delivery

Will not be ordering from here again,stingy portions,chips were like bullets,meat was not the best,we all make mistakes.

Still in the restaurant drinking coffee with my hubby. We had a lovely meal. I loved the sauce with my veg balti. The veggies were delicious especially the bell peppers. The staff are friendly and professional. We will visit again. 👍🏼😀

Lovely food and fantastic service at a reasonable price. Recommended.

First ever time ordering from this place and omg the best curry myself and my other half has ever eaten great size portions and you can tell the chef has put some proper effort into the food will never go anywhere else will definitely be back again

We visited restaurant last night on a neighbours recommendation we were not disappointed. The food was excellent beautifully presented utterly delicious . The menu with both traditional and house specials is extensive. Good selection of seafood dishes too the rice dishes were gorgeous fluffy and extremely tasty and authentic. Staff were helpful and attentive we had a lovely evening if your a foodie certainly a hidden little gem. We will certainly be returning again thank you for a wonderful experience.

First time going here since Ranga Mati closed down… I must say it was a delight! Habib who looked after our table for the night was an amazing member of their team. He made us feel relaxed, comfortable and engaged at the same time. We were big fans of Ranga Mati, so naturally we were a little worried about the food taste and quality as we’ve never been here before - however, to our delight the food from starters to the special dessert tasted absolutely banging - we 100% recommend Spice River - will certainly be back very soon… Keep up the good work

The best curry I have ever had been loads of times and always always first class

Just ad a lovely curry from spice River Just amazing the guy who took my order was so polite and the lady who delivered my food was so nice food was red hot

Spent a nice few hours here with family for a birthday meal,food is excellent service is great made to feel welcome from start to finish recommended eaterie for all

Went there this evening for my daughters birthday food was amazing and the staff really went out there way to make her feel special

Been here tonight for the first time. Staff were lovely and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The food was so beautiful and tasty. The prices were very reasonable too. Well worth a visit. We will be back, that's for certain.

Always good food and excellent service

Lovely birthday meal with family Food , service, staff all really good. Can't fault it. 👍

Had the best Tandoori chicken madras from here last night. Will be getting another one very soon.

Great food and nice surroundings, will be going back!

Sorry I have to disagree with other reviews, ordered a takeaway this evening and the garlic, chilli bhoona went in the bin, it had a weird taste that wasn't pleasant. Onion bhajis were lovely but that's about the only thing we liked, tandoori mixed grill was poor and the vegetable samosas were tasteless, unfortunately won't be returning

We have been to this great restaurant 3 times now, and every time the food + service has been excellent. The staff are so helpfull and friendly and the menu is superb. Keep up the great work lads 😊

Amazing food and helpful staff. Recommended to many people.

A rare Sunday night out for us. It was naturally a bit quiet however we both had an excellent meal. This and very friendly service made it a very pleasant experience. We even enjoyed the music!

Excellent food which was prepared and presented on a hot skillet. The new Spice River is now a great relaxing and comfortable environment and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Couldn't fault the food. Generous portions, hot and flavoursome. I was recommended by a family member and would like to share this post. Worth the visit and definitely will be back.

First visit since reopening, certainly won't be the last. Food was excellent, staff were very welcoming and attentive, and would highly recommend 👌 👌

Very nice meal in here and very friendly staff

Meal was fab, staff very well mannered and gave us time to choose our food without any pressure for times limits. We stayed over 3 hours and not once did they make us feel like we had to leave. Will defo be eating there again. Keep up these standards guys

First night out in 18 months was totally overshadowed by flat pop rubbery chicken and a completley frozen dessert that even the waiter couldnt remove the spoon from..... 2 out of 3 of us have been up all night being sick......safe to say we wont be going here again !

I called these up with 10 mins notice asking for a table of 4. On a Saturday night an I know they were busy but there went out their way to fit us in. We were here for the night only as are from Essex and on a works trip. Fantastic service by all members of staff. The food was outstanding and the whole evening was just the best. I can't recommend this venue enough to anyone looking to eat a lovely curry with a really nice atmosphere. Thank you very much for your kindness and hospitality. If I could of given you more than 5 stars I would of. Hannah x

Great food, piping hot and so flavoursome.. so impressed!!! Would 100% recommend, also very pleasant and attentive staff! 10/10

Our first visit and most certainly not our last... The food was exquisite and the menu choice very varied - so much so I plan on working my way through the dishes over future visits - exciting!😊🍽 Under new management- the staff are very welcoming and attentive and the decor contemporary with a stylish finish. A definite go to for Indian cuisine and great service. Thank you for an enjoyable first visit. 🙂 🍽🍛👍👌

Excellent food and service last night after our 1st visit. Table for 8 with many different dishes. 10/10. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

The best indian take away in wednesfield/ Wolverhampton 10 out of 10 food service and prices keep up the great work

Superb combination dishes, great service. Will come again.

Great service and more importantly fantastic food, 👍

Usually order delivery from spice river and food is always amazing so decided to try eat in. Service was impeccable and food was even better. Best Indian cuisine I have had for a long time!

Great service, lovely food, can't wait to go again,would highly recommend.

Meals were very good. We used to use this place when it was Rangamati quite a lot. Keep up the good work Had another takeaway last night but have to say my husband didn't like his veg Baltic this time. Too much onion not enough of other veg

Food is delicious and always on time. Have to say though, I'm a bit disappointed with the samosas. Very dry, bland and obviously bought ready made in bulk. Come on Spice River - home made samosas would be amazing!

Picture this.. your working away staying in a hotel, gagging for a bosting curry. You order your food and it hits you.. how will i eat it? Its lockdown, the hotel restaurant is closed and they are unable to provide a plate or cutlery. I ring up the curry house (Spice River) and tell them my dilemma. The guy on the phone says I got you man "you've got to enjoy your food". He shouldn't do it but he did it anyway and placed some of their silverware in with my order. Absolute life saver going above and beyond to ensure that I enjoyed my food! And as for the food.. the curry was absolutely top notch! Had myself some Arabian Rice to go with it which I have never experienced before and it was bloody delicious! Would definitely recommend it. Will 100% be ordering again if im ever back in the area and cannot recommend this Indian enough!
