Spice Station in Waltham Forest

FOOD, AMAZING. SERVICE, Even better, Khan provided excellent conversation that sparked the beginning of a wonderful night, our time at spice station could not be replicated elsewhere, the emotions endured and the food we ate was impeccable. If you are ever in or around the Chingford definitely give it a go!

Really nice restaurant in a good location, food was perfect and the staff were great , (Especially Shah). Would definitely recommend

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Spice Station in Chingford, though we tried their food several times before via uber eats. But this was our first time dine in to this place.and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for our evening. The cozy decor, with its soft lighting and tasteful furnishings, made it a perfect spot for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The staff at Spice Station were incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment we were seated, they made us feel welcome and were more than happy to recommend dishes based on our preferences. Their enthusiasm for the menu was infectious, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about providing a great dining experience. Now, let’s talk about food;Every bite was a delight, whether it was the aromatic curries or the perfectly spiced appetizers. It was evident that the ingredients were fresh and carefully selected, which made all the difference.only dish could be bit better was “aloo chat “ which we ordered as starter along with shami kebab. Overall, our visit to Spice Station was nothing short of fantastic. With its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, it’s a gem in Chingford that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Me and my family always have the best time at our favourite local Indian restaurant. Not only is the food great and yummy but it’s the staff that make the restaurant and ambience so good. The manager/owner treats everyone like family friends and that’s so lovely. I love the Indian music in the background & the little touches at the end with hand towels, oranges, after 8’s and a little drink for on your way home. Keep being the best spice station and staff :-)

We had another fantastic meal at our favorite Indian restaurant! The food is always incredible, but what really makes this place special is the service. Khan went out of his way to sort out a special paneer dish for me, and it was absolutely delicious. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The flavors, the atmosphere, and the hospitality keep us coming back. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food and service, Khan looked after us amazingly once again. Looking forward to the visit - couldn’t recommend enough.

My family coming here many years Food is very good Excellent service We like spice station,

Very nice food spice station 140 station road. Chingford best Indian food nice service

Come in here regularly and the staff are SO welcoming, food is 10/10 and service is amazing. Shah and Khan and Ali always look after me and my family ❤️ thanks guys

came with my daughters for a nice meal but got more than i thought, dishes’s were fairly good portions enough for everyone price was the best for a family of 6, kids loved the non spicy dishes recommended by Raj, well done 👏 spice station

Came with my friends for a mates birthday, the staff welcomed us in and gave us the booth like we booked, papa Dom's where nice and crispy with delicious sauces (my favourite was the green sauce) food was served in reasonable time with amazing flavours and cos we had told Raj that it was our mates birthday they surprised us with a birthday cake for him, very lovely and friendly staff with outstanding food.

came to this Resturant for the first time and when i walked in the restaurant smelt nice not like some restaurants where the seating area smells like the kitchen, staff sat us down and where very polite, while eating our starters the furniture & tableware looked clean no dust (as I have dust Allergy) food was too good I'm coming back again.

I have never seen such a filthy kitchen

Amazing curry, Khan smashed it what a legend! Food was great and staff were the most friendly ever. The lamb pasanda was lovely and the complimentary shots at the end went down a treat! Will be back.

Absolutely great curry! I had prawn madras. Worth a visit. Khan was so helpful and even got a complimentary limoncello!! X

Lovely’s food, the portions were great and I really liked the tandoori mixed grill. Everyone was really nice - particularly khan! :) . will be here again for sure!

Great food. Amazing food. The best food. Wow. The best. This food, the greatest. The greatest food. God bless this food.

Khan and the staff are absolutely amazing, the food was delicious, fantastic customer service and overall great restaurant. Would definitely recommend!!

We went to this restaurant for a family meal. The food was cold and terrible. Waited about 30 minutes for starters which was tasteless. Main meal came late as well, food absolutely terrible. I have eaten at Indian restaurant in the past and this is by far the worst. Both food and service.

Gorgeous food as always and made it so special for my boyfriends birthday ! Staff are very attentive and very good service, Thank you!

I came for a birthday meal, the service and food was incredible. Reasonable prices and amazing service. Received complementary cake, oranges, and chocolate. Can’t say anything about the place, very nice staff too. Sam

Unbelievable service and food . Big up our waiter khan who couldn’t have been more helpful . Defintely recommend and will 100% be back

Food is really good and service is great. Khan was a great waiter. Chicken madras was really good and my whole family comes here highly recommend here.

Unbelievable food and service form khan it was a pleasant evening and Evan done something for birthday surprise and come out fall attack and help us out whith food tast if you take the 3 exit on round about

Absolutely my favourite local restaurant. The food is delicious and very reasonable and there's plenty of vegetarian options, including many of the side dishes which come in very generous portions. The service is perfect too - the team are very welcoming to everyone, including my young son who has loved coming here since he was two. Highly recommended!

5 star restaurant! Not only is this my favourite local restaurant this is probably my favourite restaurant for food! Just everything about this restaurant is great! From the owner, staff and always the best food! It never disappoints it’s always great every time! I always go with my husband and two children and the owners always make us feel welcomed and go above and beyond. Honestly I could come here once a week if I could! Definitely the best Indian food local and also in London in my opinion. I know there are other Indian restaurants that try and do it differently or a la carte but it’s never as good as this place. Please don’t change your chefs 😅 Thank you. See you soon Sophie & Family x

Great food, friendly service but don't expect customers to box up left overs themselves. We always over order so we can try different dishes but were left feeling very uncomfortable when we were just given a stack of take away tins to box up what we couldn't eat. Normally the staff would do this in the kitchen. It was a very busy night but staff were standing nearby. Having spent over £100 we were quite shocked. Will not return because of this.

I have been going here for 14 years, almost every week. The staff are brilliant and the food is delicious, would definitely recommend.

I have been going here for 14 years, almost every week. The staff are brilliant and the food is always delicious, would definitely recommend it’s a fantastic restaurant. Shah and Khan provide the best customer service, always so kind.

This restaurant is amazing, the food is always delicious, staff are helpful and courteous and the atmosphere is fantastic

The food was amazing and the staff were very kind and generous always making sure we are having a good night a waiter named Khan is very funny and genuine

Amazing restaurant. Great food and the service is second to none. We have eaten in this restaurant for year and the main reason we go back is because of Khan!

Third time here and every time the service has been excellent, the food outstanding and ultimately its brilliant value. Lamb Dhansak is 10/10. Thanks to Khan and team 👍

Excellent food and service as usual. Shah always looks after you.

Me and my family are regulars at spice station .. we have always enjoyed our fresh food portion size are great and the staff are very attentive and fun! Big shout out too khan nothing is too much trouble ! We we would highly recommend if your looking for a buzzy atmosphere would suggest too book wknds as gets very busy !

Ordered on Uber eats and got a Mutton Rogan Josh, Vegetable Masala and Peshwari Naan. I'm a huge fan of Rogan Josh's so have tried many throughout my years and this has to be my least favourite. It was extremely oily and bland, plus the mutton was tough. I had to reheat on the stove and add my own seasonings and spice -- I shouldn't have to do that. The vegetable masala was a lot more flavourful and I enjoyed that more than my Rogan, which is a shame considering I ordered it as a side dish. The peshawar was OK, very thick in some areas but it wasn't bad. I gave them two stars because I liked the vegetable masala and they kindly threw in a couple of poppadoms with the dips, I didn't expect that. But I wouldn't order again because the Rogan Josh was so bad.

I'm the founder member of 'Fartclub' the oldest curry club in Brighton and London (est 1998). I visited this place because I was staying locally and it had good reviews. I ordered the best sounding things on the menu and everything tasted the same. I know what a good curry is and it ain't this! But Lovely staff and superb wine (2021 Chateauneuf du Pape). The place is fine if you want quantity but aren't bothered about the whole gourmet thing.

Had a great experience at Spice Station. The food was authentic and full of flavour. Shah provided excellent service, being both attentive and friendly. His professionalism really enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend this place for tasty Indian food and great service!"

Wonderful evening, with great service from Khan! Highly recommended.

Great food, atmosphere and restaurant. A special thanks to Khan for making us feel so welcome :)

Great food, nice restaurant, khan is a great sever and very kind

Food was good, but the waiters were deceiving when producing our bill, adding additional costs that differ to the menu for ‘special’ versions of a dish that had not been requested.

The food was delicious, however, the evening was tainted by the fact we were overcharged for items that were presented on the bill as "specials". Unbeknownst to us, when taking our order, our server would say "I'll make it special just for you" at no point was it made clear to us that this would equate to additional charge on top of the menu price. Such a shame as the food is excellent and not the experience I've had in the past. Transparency with your customers is key.

We are coming to spice station last 8 years My family love there food. Food is very tasty Service is excellent mr Khan is the one. Would recommend

When served we ordered our mains and then were told they would do us a special version, not asking if we want special, told they would do us a special one, which we thought was a nice touch, but they added £2 extra per main onto the bill and then charged a large amount for soft drinks and haven’t refunded us

Amazing atmosphere and brilliant service from the entire team including Khan. Would 100% return here and recommend! The food is extremely delicious.

Delicious food, best Indian in North Chingford

I recently dined at Spice Station and had an incredibly disappointing experience. The food was dry, tasteless, and far from what you'd expect from a place that brands itself as a top restaurant. It was as if the dishes had been sitting out for hours before being served. But the worst part of the evening was the owner. He was shockingly rude, dismissive, and seemed to care more about squeezing every last penny out of customers than providing any semblance of decent service. It’s clear that his only priority is profit, not the satisfaction of his patrons. I won’t be returning, and I recommend you spend your money elsewhere.

Really good food and amazing service especially from Khan. Would really recommend. Thank you!!!

Spice Station is the BEST Indian in the area - the food is amazing and the service is even better, Khan will definitely look after you. Friendly staff and delicious dishes - you can’t go wrong, HIGHLY recommend !!

Best Indian restaurant locally. Khan is absolutely lovely and treats you like family! Great food and lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food exceptional service from our waiter khan we go here every week this is our favourite Indian to dine is stupendous experience outstanding hospitality

Opposite Chingford Station very convenient for locals . Passing traffic and commuters. Great service and food . Large selection of different curry's with specialties.

First time I have been to spice station and had a lovely night,the food was exceptional, and the service that Kahn provided was unreal, he made us feel at home and had great chat, and I will definitely be coming back ! Thanks again ghengus!

Legit quality. Khan will look after you

We are regulars at the Spice Station. Put simply it is the best Restaurant I know. We are lucky it is in North Chingford. The food is sublime with beautifully crafted dishes. Tonight it was Chicken chilli masala -with fresh spices, chillies, peppers, onion combining in a delicious sauce with tender tasty generous chicken pieces and prawn korma exactly as it should be. The side dishes are as good as the mains. Fresh vegetables in authentic sauces each one perfect! Mr Khan, Shah and their team are perfect hosts and it is always a pleasure to visit spice station Thank you Chris and Nicky

Really good and polite service. Food was good but maybe not spicy enough, next time we'll try something hotter.

It was our first time but it won’t be our last. We really enjoyed our experience. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. We like it very hot, the waiter made sure we got what we were looking for. The service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to our next visit.

We have been to the Spice Station Many times and have always had a lovely meal. However, our last experience was horrendous. Very quick to give poppdums and drinks but after that we were abandoned. We had to ask 3 times if we could order out main meal. 45 mins it took before it was taken. No apology for the deadly. When the food arrived it was so far off its usual standard. We left most of it. The rice was greasy, I had chicken dansak and the chicken Was very dry. We had taken a friend and he had 2 mouthfuls of his prawn madras before leaving it. Wasn’t even questioned why or if we enjoyed it. Being typically British we paid and left. We will not be going back any time soon.

Very good customer service and even better food. Highly recommended ❤️

I came here on Monday with my family and the food here was absolutely spectacular. The staff here was exceptional with their service and especially Mr Shah who looked after me and my family. This is the best Indian food you will find in Chingford and I definitely will be back again soon.

Amazing restaurant, food is always top class & service is exceptional. Khan makes us feel right at home & the whole team are very attentive. Would 100% recommend.

Did an order on a sat night via Uber eats , ordered at 5,40 and didn't arrive untill 7,20 and food finally turned up cold and almost 2 hrs for a takeaway..I rang they said it had left ten mins ago , then they called me and the restraunt then told me they had no record of the order and not at all helpful in resolving the issue, then I text the driver to see what was happening and the driver said leaving now and he had to wait over 40 mins for the order. complete shambles and ridiculous way to do business not happy and feel completely lied to, feel like I have waisted £29 worst takeaway experience I have ever had locally and to top it of food was cold nan bread awful was a repeat customer now won't be

My favourite Indian ever, Mr Khan is amazing and have been coming here since I was a kid. Will forever be my favourite Indian.

Excellent restaurant, great service and welcoming staff. If you’re looking for dishes full of flavor and spices, you must come here.

We moved away from the area but frequently return to enjoy the excellent food at the Spice Sration

All round and great place food and staff are all very good

Food is always excellent, service is first class and the waiters are excellent we are regulars and always get a great welcome, best Indian in Chingford 🥂

Terrible people especially the guy called Raj has no manners at all. Don’t bother to go there 👎👎👎👎👎

Food was great! Really big portions, great service. Would definitely recommend.

Very lovely staff and friendly. Food was great! Very big portions as well! Would definitely come back again!

Lovely customer service , had a great meal :)

Amazing service, very attentive and friendly. They warmly welcomed us despite us being covered in mud after our hike in epping forest. Food was delicious too! Highly recommend !

Absolutely love this place, everything is 10/10!

This place was packed when I arrived, and I soon realised why. Great service and very good food!! I'll definitely return 😋👍

Consistent, hospitable, great value and every dish I've ever had here was lovely. Everything you would want from a local Indian restaurant.

Khan makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in to the restaurant, I don’t normally write reviews but due to the exceptional service I just had to, but it’s not just the service the food is of such high quality also. A rare find and I will be definitely coming back soon

Visited with a friend without a reservation and was welcomed like a friend! The service is timely, not too fast or too slow. The food is amazing! The kashmiri lamb was delicious, the lychees were an exceptional addition to the dish. We enjoyed the music, the service, the food and will be back soon! Thank you (Mr) Khan and everyone else who worked to ensure we had a lovely evening!

I have been coming to this Indian for over 10 years. They never fail the food is incredible they never forget who you are Mr Khan looks after everyone. Highly recommend! Thank you :)

Amazing atmosphere and the best Indian ever!! Khan really looked after us! Thank you so much!! Xx

Staff are really attentive and friendly , warm and bubbly atmosphere and most of all the food was delightful, we can’t wait to come back

Amazing food, staff are very attentive and restaurant has a lovely vibe inside, will be back again!

Best in chingford My family coming to spice station last 6 years There food is so good. Service is excellent.

Service and food the best in the area Been going there since 2014 Simply the best thanks mr Shar

We are regulars here. The food is exceptional! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Great priced food and the quality is 5 stars!! We 100% recommend

My family and me go regularly to spice station for many years, the food there is delicious and has a great atmosphere for eating and being there with friends and family this place I would highly recommend.

The best Indian in London!! The staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome. The food is amazing, would highly recommend.

Came for a dinner with my friend. Khan was extremely attentive and pleasant chap. Food was lovely and portions were big. Enjoyed it thoroughly 😃

Fantastic dining experience, very fast service and polite staff. Food is delicious, 100% recommend.

Best Indian restraunt in chingford and the surrounding area, and I have eaten in most. I eat here regularly and the food is perfect and the staff are great 👍

Lovely restaurant, great friendly service! Food was amazing.

Food and service was so lovely. Mr Khan made our experience amazing

Collected a takeaway order and received a very friendly welcome and chat from staff. The restaurant is well set out with smaller tables and a large circular booth seating, with a convivial atmosphere - there appeared to be lots of regular diners. The food was very tasty and I would like to dine in, next time we visit.

Lovely food and friendly staff willing to advise on the menu 😋

I was pleasantly surprised by the Spice Station food and service. I tried them out when the food at my usual Indian takeaway became awful and couldn't get over how tasty their food was in comparison. I really liked the ease of ordering online. The clarity of their website is certainly one of the best I've used. It will hold no fear for those worried about online ordering! Their food is tasty, with no bland or overspiced offerings (so far), just nicely balanced flavours, presented well, and delivered quickly. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive, which helps to make the atmosphere in the restaurant so welcoming. I couldn't believe how tender the lamb was in my Jalfrezi, I'll definitely be ordering that again! If you're looking for an Indian restaurant, either eat in or take away, you won't be disappointed with The Spice Station!

Great food, lovely service, had a great time will be returning.

Another amazing meal I had to leave another glowing review. Khan and the team are great as always.

Excellent Food pallette for the anglicised client group.

Good service. The food was really nice. My good friend was having an improvised stag evening. We were quite lucky that it wasn't too busy, and they were able to accommodate all 11 of us. The food was superb, and the service was fast and well timed. I wasn't sure what dish to order, but I was able to just tell the waiter what I liked and he gave me a great recommendation. The food looked and tasted beautiful. Would highly recommend 👌🏼

Our favourite Indian. Scrumptious and freshly cooked food.,Attentive, polite staff, great atmosphere! What more could you want? Highly recommend!
