Spice Station in South Tyneside

Do not let anyone tell you bad things about this place. We ordered the meal for 2 which cost us less than £20. As for value for money this is fantastic, there was so much to eat it did allow us to have another meal the next day. As for the quality and taste of the food it's as good as any other and better than most. I would hartely recommend this takeaway to everybody.

6 December 2024 we ordered a curry. It all went in the bin. Didn't taste like a curry. Thought we were eating jar food or was it soup. Feel rather sick. Had no taste. Chips stale. Totally tasteless. Mixed kebab very salty. Will never order again. What a waste of money. Should of ordered from my local curry house. Definitely no stars from me. Awful. Need a new chef

Food is always excellent, friendly service, always on time. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely unbelievable scenes, go there everyday for a tikka stir fry and biriani if I'm on a health kick, or an unbelievable jalfrezi

Very nice food and very good staff

Me and my daughter always order from here for our Curry’s they are lovely and taste brilliant…. But even more there customer service is 5* especially for the delivery guys my daughter has ADHD and is a little lot cheeky to them when I say sorry they not bothered I’ll ring shop and always say it’s ok so In my eyes that’s lovely ppl thank you and brill food

Amazing food, fast delivery. Food was boiling hot and tasted wonderful.

Takeaway Chicken Korma and Masala was watery and bland. Hardly any taste to the sauce and chicken very rubbery and chewy. Chips with the order were also not the best. The starter Tikka pieces were OK, not as flavoursome as other places I've tried before. Garlic naan bread was plain, no hint of garlic. Poppadoms were the best thing about the meal. The staff were nice, and this is my opinion, the food wasn't for me.

Everyone ordering Oh yes sir you have spent 18pounds you qualify for a free starter this went on for six customers when I queried why when my order was 24 pound I didn’t get a free starter the answer you have ordered a taxi special and so don’t get one. WHAT I will just spend elsewhere as I get free starters elsewhere

Chewy chicken. Suaces delicious.

absolutely amazing fresh cooked food, we ordered the meal for 2 and wow it was outstanding chicken madras for the Mr and chicken kashmiri for me, fantastic value for money and huge portions and all those lush sides 😋 Thanks to the whole spice station team we will be ordering again.

My regular great food been going for a while

friendly staff lovely meal quick delivery

Best Indian take away in town and the staff a great bunch of lads. great curries and bags of taste, ell worth trying.

I had an amazing experience at this Indian takeaway! The staff were incredibly friendly and provided great recommendations. The food was delicious and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for some fantastic Indian takeaway!

Absolutely amazing curries each and every time from here, cooked to perfection always. 10/10

Top lads toptoptop, food. Brilliant deals.

We spent nearly £70 on meals and not half was eaten , it was disgusting, never go there again if I was starving , the chicken was like chewing gum the rice was still frozen the curry was just peppers and hardly any chicken !

Got two wrap meal deals. Wasn't sure at first but you get the naan wrap with he chicken inside, no particular need for sauce unless a preference. You get chips on the side. Ordered on their website and estimated delivery time was almost on the dot. Delightful, slightly messy meal but worth every penny.

2 years later tried again same results old chips could pebble your garden with them old nan bread use it for a paper waite soo heavy rice was ok curry had no meat good for vegetarian in overall not good will try again maybe will get a 5 star one day 😅 no pride in there food ,

Portion size good but food was tastless ordered nan wrap bombay aloo chicken chat mix kebab and keema bhuna starter every dish lacked flavour or spice of any kind very disappointed everything went to waste

Tonight is first time we have used this place and we were very happy with quality of food.

Great staff. 10% off for emergency services. Lovely fresh curries.

Absolutely stunning food and excellent customer service no other place comes close to this takeaway. I live 250 miles away visiting a friend in South Shields, he took me to this place. You won't be disappointed

It's a very good takeaway shop and very nice people who serve you

First time to order here , we were not disappointed, naga purée beautiful, garlic chilli chicken vindaloo 👌👌👌, garlic naan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Gentlemen who took my order fantastic and polite ,we enjoyed it sooooo much going back for a refill at the weekend , excellent.

Rubbish tikka massage was like water not even an apply.

The food here is outstanding. Service on point , staff friendly and professional.

Ordered a chicken phall on Friday 10th December which I picked up from this takeaway. What I received couldn’t be eaten! Chicken, tomato paste mixed with chilli powder! So thick and disgusting! Photos showing how thick my ‘curry’ was! On taste it was tomato purée with chilli powder! Look at the photos upside down on spoon!! I could of plastered the walls with it! Definitely don’t recommend here at all if this is the standard of food now! Didn’t even have any curry taste to it. Waste of money! And now in my bin!

Tried it for the first time and really enjoyed it, will be going back for another turn

Absolutely stunning food and excellent customer service no other place comes close to this takeaway You won't be disappointed

Absolutely amazing staff so kind and polite and amazing food delicious always get my curry from here and will never go anywhere else 10/10 🙂

Always collect my carry outs, friendly staff and ready on time, love their rogan josh and bhaun prawn

Loved the food very tasty and quick delivery

The food is ok but not the best, the curry sauce is lacking in flavour the keama nan has different meat to what I normally get it's gray in colour and tasteless.. It's not the worst place nor the best.

fabulous food, good quality and great service

#1 Indian takeaway in South Shields.The food is amazing and customer service is even better. Would definitely recommend their naan babs and masala chips!

Excellent food. Highly recommend

Very good quality food excellent cleanliness of shop and kitchens very helpful staff

Terrible my son ended up in hospital for night after a meal, would recommend to give it a miss.a big 0

I have tried nearly every Indian takeaway in south shields literally and found spice station to be the best by far. Food always arrives quickly, fresh and tastes amazing. Staff are really friendly and can cater for all your needs. Try it you won't be disappointed.

This curry shop is hot man, 5 star all the way

Was so looking forward to tonights meal, but unfortunately very disappointed. Bland main dish with seriously cheeky lack of chicken. Blackened onion bharjis, plainest veg bhaji and saddest side salad ever. We were an early door order for a Saturday, so sorry you guys but no excuse.

One of the best takeaways in South Shields. Always helpful and friendly. Highly recommended as always. 5 star

I recommend this place to everyone that mentions currys. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Try it, you will not be disappointed!!

Really nice. And in south shields it's up against some stiff competition too so that's saying something.

Outstanding food, l ordered the murghi mossala as usual and, as usual it was perfect. Delivered within time stated and there was enough to feed me at least twice. Best indian cuisine l’ve eaten to date. Very reasonably priced too.

Well what can i say about the spice station. Having been told about by a family member. I decided to try it and I wasn't disappointed. I decided to try the 8 course meal. Which for £10.95 was a brilliant choice. There was more than enough for me and my dad. The member of staff that was in the front of the shop was really nice and friendly and helpful. Would i recommend the spice station. Yes i would. And i will be returning soon.

got a meat duppiazza medium it was far to hot to eat more like vindaloo will never go back curry center ocean rd from now on

I ordered a takeaway for delivery a few days ago, I have ordered from here a lot over the years and used this restaurant when it was based in Laygate. I am of the opinion people are very quick to complain but rarely as keen to praise good service. Everything with this restaurant from phoning the order in until the last mouthful is great! Very friendly well mannered man on the end of the phone taking the order, gave accurate price and expected delivery time, offers free starter when eligible with your order. Speedy delivery and food red hot on arrival, nice attitude from the driver. Food the best I have had from any takeaway, superb flavours and excellent quality meat! Thank you Spice Station.

Excellent quality.first time looking forward to the next meal👍👍

great staff and wide range of currys and starters to choose from and the food tastes great

Just had chicken bhuna n keema pilah rice,what can I say it lacked curry very poor no ingredients at all no flavour never had anything like it b4 worst ever not to mention the delivery guy I gave him a tip with no thanks then I said bye no response .....avoid at all costs 👎👎

First time I have used this takeaway and certainly won’t be my last. Excellent service from placing the order to taking delivery. Excellent curry absolutely fantastic. Person on phone extremely polite and delivery man also. What a fantastic curry, thoroughly enjoyed it. Will recommend it. Well worth it

Recommend the rogan Josh! Excellent!

I've been using this restaurant for some time now. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in South Shields but I recommend this one. The food is first class and the staff are friendly and efficient. Try the chilli chicken masala, it's splendid.

Decided to try the Spice Station after previously using them to help cater for a party .My daughter is vegan so sometimes ordering food is a pain to be honest They had a full menu available on the counter to sit and choose from which contains allergy information alsoWe opted for a vegetarian saag and I had a chicken tikka stir fry starter along with a few side dishes Without doubt the best vegetarian curry I have ever had. All the food was delicious but the saag was amazing

It’s been three years since I left my last scathing review of this place. I was served food from here recently and couldn’t believe the change. It’s gone from somewhere I hated, to my favourite takeaway. The food is excellent and so is the service. The Thursday night special is excellent value. Highly recommended.

Tried this takeaway again, 3rd time now but not really for me although others say it's great

My stop of first choice. Always an excellent meal . I agree with previous reviews, staff helpful and a pleasure to speak to in person and on the phone.

The food here is good but lately the service has let it down ordered just before 6 not long after it opened and waited till 7 30 with no reason why . I was told we would receive delivery after 45 mins not 90!!! Shame it’s put me off as the food is nice

Don't normally write reviews but just had a brilliant curry so much flavour wow wow wow can't wait to go back rice was lush chips great naan bread lush staff so nice as well

We've been ordering from these since they were based at lay gate, always delicious and friendly and efficient service.

We have ordered takeaway from the spice station a few times now and every time the food is excellent. We order the 8 course special which is unbelievable value for money. The staff are always helpful and pleasant. Definitely one of the best takeaway curries I've had .

We have ordered from spice station s few times now and every time the food is excellent. We order the 8 course special which is unbelievable value for money. The staff when ordering over the phone are always pleasant and helpful. Definitely one of the best takeaway curries I have had ever

Great service. One of the best curry's in town. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

used this takeaway a few times now and enjoyed everyone we have picked the baltis are the best the service from the front desk is always friendly especially from Si i think his name is !

In a town famous for its Indian restaurants the best compliment I can give is this is one of our firm favourites! Lovely staff, great food, good prices Xxx

The order was placed and i picked the food 30 mins later as requested. The food was ok and nothing wrong with the quality. Nothing to complain about good food and reasonable price and quick service.

Saturday night takeaway for the family. Fast service and the food always goes down with us and our kids

En el último un excelente rincón en el hindú para llevar. Excelente comida a excelentes precios. Yo tenía una envoltura shaslik comida. Enorme con gran porción de patatas fritas y una lata de gaseosa. Sólo 5 libras. Personal amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente el especiales taxi. Vale la pena una visita. 10/10.

Cant fault any of the meals I have had from here. Staff are polite and friendly and the food is great. plenty of parking and forces discount

Lovely meal take aways and friendly service

My friend recommended this local Indian Take Away. It was just as she described LOVELY Food very obliging people and very clean and nicely designed... Well done Spice Station keep up the good work

The food here is reasonably priced and good value for money.I had the chicken dhansak nann wrap, was very filling and tastes great

Since it opened, this place has produces excellent food catering to all tastes. Their Thursday and Sunday Night Special Menus are excellent value for money! The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and will always offer advice or suggest suitable dishes for you. Pop in! It's well worth it!

Hi had a chicken korma on 02/02/16 after a couple if mins this went in the bin. It was aboustley appalling the chicken had black bits and bruising in it and it tasted cheap, also the sauce was very dry. I will never eat hear again

Used to be a different shop in a different location and it was awesome, however the move brought new staff and service and now it's a cheap money spinner. The food we ate was dreadful and most of it got binned.

Tried here as my usual take away was closed and found it so much better. It used to be based in Frederick Street for 12 years then relocated to the nook when Frederick Street was pulled down. For orders over £14 you can have a free starter or for emergency services, NHS, OAP's you can have 10% discount. Delivery is available but I always collect as the meal is much hotter. The bhuna and madras dishes are very tasty with plenty of soft chicken. Vegetable pilau rice is non greasy and one portion easily is enough for two people. Nan breads are also tasty. Meal usually cooked within 20 minutes

Good service with friendly staff. The curry was tasty and you get a sizeable portion. Will be back....

The food was fantastic and service was great. Nice big portions and a really good menu to choose from. They have some canny deals on, too.

We used to go here before it was relocated here.mit used to be Pride of India which was one of the oldest and best takeaways in South Shields. It has since gone downhill into the realms of average. Not the worst but we go elsewhere now. Shame.

Delivery is always very quick from this place, the food is really really delicious & flavourful and the portions are large however sometimes when ordering a curry the chicken is in chunks and other times it is in slices, I would prefer it to be the same each time but other than that it's good!

we ordered from here on my sons birthday and I must say , this place and the guys working there certainly know what they doing and how to run the place , the food was out of this world and service was just as good , well done guys keep up the good work

My friends and I decided to have a takeaway. I ordered it for 8pm it was a little late 8:10pm but this wasn't a problem to us. We ordered 2 x chicken jalfrezi, chicken tikka masala, and a madras curry, 3 different rice dishes, chapati, plain nan and a portion of chips. £29.90. All of them were deliciously thick and creamy. Will definitely use again.

First time ordering tonight,it certainly won't be the last,very efficient service and the food is second to none,very moreish we had chicken madras and chicken bhuna and both were superb.

This is our first visit to the Spice station and have not been disappointed. The chicken madras was hot and the chicken was succulent. The price was very reasonable. Will definitely be making further visits.

been here a couple of times, always a nice tasty currie and the rice is lovely cooked. The madras is a little bit hotter than other places i have been to but if that is my only complaint then its not worth mentioning (though i just have :-/ ). Reasonable price with good portions

The newest contender for the title of Best Indian Cuisine Takeaway in South Shields.This is what good food tastes like, plenty of fresh flavours and not pumped full of SALT.The owners have learned from years of experience in this field and the head chef is a traditionalist.

Worst Indian I've had in a long time, in shields you would expect they'd at least try!
