Spice Tandoori in Blackburn with Darwen

I’m not a believer of giving bad reviews but have no choice on this occasion. Take away, worst ever, kebab not cooked, bread undercooked. Tried to call and explain but some how they couldn’t understand even thou they could to take the order. Last time!

Delivery driver nearly blinded me with his headlamp Curry was tasteless, the rice was like rubber, cold chips and under cooked naan bread and very dry Not stopped spewing up this morning and bin on toilet about 6 times, proper gut ache this morning NEVER AGAIN 😩 STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW AND AVOID

I must say this has got to be the worst curry in darwen. I should of gone raj. Oh well. Never again.

I used this takeaway for many years. My order was very late and arrived cold. Portion was significantly smaller. I had to re-heat the food. When I spoke to the manager. He wouldn't accept my complaint. After many years of being a customer. Won't use again. No loyalty or customer service.

I had the worst chicken biryani from this restaurant, it was just out of the microwave, not fresh no taste at all.

Lovely and friendly delivery service. Food offered is always a great variety of tasty treats. Last meal of King Prawn Tikka Massala was cooked to perfection. 🤌💋😋

Superb, amazing curries and fabulous and fast delivery (always delivered early). Food always hot and nice friendly delivery drivers. I don't have a takeaway very often, but, when I do I go to these guys. I love to cook, but, these guys show me how it's done.

Food was cold, chicken tikka masala not nice and the sauce looked curdled, my first time ordering from spice tandoori and my last.

Love them. I like a Chicken Tikka Masala but don't often order one as there is so much other choice out there but when I do I am sure theirs is my favourite. Their vindaloo is amazing, spicy enough but not stupid hot and so full of flavour, nom. And if you are in a kebab mood their Jumbo Sandwich is a delight. Order early though, sometimes delivery can take a while.

We only ever order from here for a curry. But damn guys you blew it out of the park tonight. Best curry you've made us ever!!!

ordered last night at 10:30, they accepted the order but said it wasn’t going to get here till 5:30 the next day which is unacceptable considering they close at 11. they should’ve declined the order or made it clear we wouldn’t have got it till today. next to this, they refused to cancel our order when we rang when they opened at 4:30pm today because ‘it’s not their problem’. i’m appalled. disgusting rude men.

The food is lot better just needs shop front dealing with.

Don't Bother wasting your money

It is ok. But I must say in recent 18 months or so there is very little lamb in the curries, still nice flavour but much more onion and much less lamb. We got a lamb korai and there were 4 small ish pieces of lamb in it. When I called I was told that they usually put in 9 pieces of meat into each Currie. I was a very regular customer but didn't get a replacement. I no times I tough , so I will give them another chance.

Excellent value meal - well enjoyed

Ordered a Paneer cheese dish as my wife is vegetarian. Paneer cheese doesn't melt and what she got was stringy , not in block form and melted in with spinach. When I raised concerns, they fobbed me off and insisted that it was their Paneer. Obviously rubbish

Abysmal..arrived late, was cold, chicken puri was tasteless ,lamb Kar was rubbery, lamb byrani was hard and burnt ..rang up to complain was told the boss would ring me as he only works fri sat but as we didn't ring on the night theres no refund..£ 39 down the tube..stick to the ones you know...

Very nice place good takeawy food was great

Best Indian Takeaway in Darwen. Plenty of tasty dishes to choose from, too many favourites to mention. Generous portions, always fit to bursting when we've finished eating. Completely delicious, never disappointing. Own website easy to use with 10% off on every order. 😁

Worst Indian I have ever had in my life poppadoms were stale so were the nan bread chicken chat was a nan bread with a carton of vile chicken in some sause

How can a medium to mild curry taste exactly the same as a supposedly hot and spicy curry and yet have totally different colours?? The two curries we ordered were congealed and lukewarm, the naan bread over sweet and the papadom sauces either tasting of nothing or overely spiced. All seemed to me to be a use of pre cooked food being masked by over spicing and sweetening. Making hay while the sun shines during the Pandemic.

Just had a meal for 1, more like a meal for 2! Fabulous taste, arrived hot, loved every bit of it, were having a family meal thursday, and will be ordering from spice tandoori again. Compliments to the chef/s.

We have used this takeaway before so after returning from the states after a holiday we couldn’t be bothered cooking so used these again. Absolutely beautiful food, hot and plentiful as always. The delivery is always quick and the delivery guys friendly. I’d highly recommend this takeaway.

Visited for take away The service and advice on the menu was wonderful and the food was amazing.We opted for Biryani Persian and Special could not fault the food quality.

Very delicious food specially chicken And kebabs love it

Food arrived on time and hot. The food was cooked very well and tasted great. Much better then my regular place at Sukhis

Spice tandoori always get it just right. we enjoy our food in our house but we don't like our Indian food swimming in grease and gee. Well spice tandoori get it just right. The food comes hot and its tasty and it does not come swimming in grease or gee. The chef makes my food mild just how I ask for it and my husbands foods spicy hot just how he likes it and we just love it.

Took 2 hours to make 2 curries on a Tuesday night what a joke.

We have very few take aways, but favor this one, when we want a quality treat! They didn't disappoint this time, delicious. Even though it's heading towards Christmas, the take away arrived within 30 minutes and piping hot. I had one of the Speciality Biryani's with a masala sauce - a truly scrumptious sauce that completes the dish! Also the garlic naan bread is delicious, moist, almost melts in your mouth. The portions are generous to meet the biggest appetite, but quality & great presentation within each dish. And the amazing value!! Also they included a Christmas card, a lovely touch as although this is outstandingly our favourite take away restaurant, we only visit occasionally but as long as they continue to serve such excellent cuisine, we will be back!

The most ridiculous food I've ever had in my life. Blend no spices just making darrens fool.

Normally I would recommend this takeaway as we have used them a couple of times without issue. We ordered a takeaway from here in October 2017 and the food seemed really good until I suddenly tasted metal and had a sharp pain to the back of my teeth. I pulled out a small spiral shaped piece of metal from my gum which was in the food. This was approximately 10mm long. We decided not to eat any more and I placed the object in a small bag and took it into the shop. The owner told me that sometimes when they clean the pans because they have to scrub hard they sometimes get small pieces of the pan being scraped of and that he believed it was that. He took the piece of metal from me and apologised for the issue. He told me that when I order again he would give me some discount to make up for it! Ok I would have at least of expected a refund on my meal along with an apology as I clearly could have gone to the food standards agency but instead approached them directly. Our meal was ruined and there was no way we were going to eat any more of it so our money was wasted and I was left with a sore mouth. Instead of doing the right thing they have left me feeling a little fed up with how it was dealt with and instead of a resolution I have now given the readers of my review a chance to make their own decision on where they buy their take away from. Please see my photo's of the metal object. I hope this review helps you in making your decision. Thanks for reading Paul & Michelle

Nice staff and liked a lot by the locals

Decided to treat ourselves to a takeaway Saturday evening. Read up on a few all with dubious reviews, so returned to our old favourite. Ordered via Just Eat, arrived slightly earlier then estimated with piping hot food. Scrumptious with generous portions. Moist garlic naan, South African chicken tikka - my absolute favourite. If you are struggling to choose a Takeaway I'm pretty sure this won't disappoint!

Have used this takeaway for a while and have never been disappointed with the food or service. When I've been to collect the staff are always helpful and polite. The food is superb and we have not had a bad dish yet.

Always great food be it delivered or pickup. Doesn't matter what you order all menu is superb!!!.................................

They forgot a naan bread but came back straight away to drop it off with complimentary stuff. A mark of a good place is when a mistake is quickly rectified. Good nice food

Great service and delicious food as always

Felt I had to write a review of spice after they had a low hygiene score recently. As myself and husband get our Saturday night meal from Spice every Saturday we have to say that we have never had a bad meal, never been ill, never had reason to stop ordering from them and never will unless things change drastically! We get free popadoms every time and the meal is plentiful, hot, and reasonable. Chin up lads.

food quality from this place is going downhill, old delivery driver seems to be gone and the new one told me " food please" as he abruptly handed my order, might be a small thing but if they cant speak enough English to give you your order - how would they be if something was incorrect with the order.

Love this place for Indian food

Beautiful food! Love this place

Not as good as usual. Lamb was tough and full of fatty bits. It's usually so good, hope next time I order it will be back to being delicious

Normally really good food but tonight has put me off, tikka masala tasted of way too much onion and I bit into a piece of chicken and it was chewy and fatty as though not cooked properly! Very disappointing as always been very good in the past!

Food was good and was delvivered in good time. delivery driver was polite to.

Curries were bland, nan bread under done, chips werent great. Won't be ordering from them again tbh

Man who dropped off it was really ignorant and grumpy, i didn't even eat the food because food took ages to come so really cold, rice was burned and badly packed so food was messy in the bag, i wouldnt eat here again. really annoyed and disgusted

The delivery guy was ace. His name is Rob and he was really friendly and up beat considering he delivered in the terrible wintery weather.

This place has the best curries I have ever tasted! Delivery is always on time and sometimes early, would highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Food was great rob the driver was nice as always x

Excellent .. the best curry house in Darwen with friendly staff, excellent delivery service and the food is top quality Would highly recommend

Just had one of the best takeaway meals in Darwen at a very reasonable price. We ordered placed our order online and paid just over £23 for three meals with two pilau rice and two chapattis. We also ordered 3 popadoms with chutney (received 4). All food arrived in good time and was piping hot and delivered by a driver who took the time to say hello and offer a smile. Our meals were very good and everyone was very happy with their choice. This is the first time we have eaten here for a while but will definitely be using them again. Well done guys and a great service. Overall we give this a very high 5 out of 5.

South African set meal was great, thank you!

Good takeaway. On this occasion the lamb was a bit tough. Chicken was perfect. Would order again

Food was lovely and plenty of it, staff are friendly and food was ready on time, will definitely order again.

Disgusting food. Never order from here

Lovely food, would definitely order again 5*

Delicious. Can heartily recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent food,, very impressed, i will be defo ordering again from here 👌👌👌👌

One of the best curries we have ever had!! Highly recommended!!

We have ordered here a few times based on referrals from a friend, we have also referred people here. We have sometimes been impressed but not always. We ordered a takeaway when friends came the other day. The price seemed really cheap for what we ordered and the delivery was great. Really quick. I ordered a veg rogan josh medium hot. There was no spice in it at all and it was basically tomatoes and cabbage!!!!!! My friend ordered saag aloo which was also tasteless. We will definitely not be ordering from here again and especially after the review about scores on the doors!!

Excellent as always, delivery on time and hot food well packed.

Was amazing tonight! Its usually good but tonight was amazing, best takeaway curry in Darwen.

Best curry in Darwen, sound delivery man too. Poppadums tasted abit stale tonight though never been stale before, must just be a one off.

Very tasty, good delivery time and friendly

Really good, been a few times and food always tastes great. Only problem we've had a couple of times is the delivery taking awhile but you don't mind because the menu and food is amazing.

Curries are not that good from here I've had better

Absolutely cracking meal, delivered hot and before the estimated time. Well done guys

Very good meal. Would order again. Only negative was 4 trips to the pan this morning. I like spicy curries. They don't like me

Incredible food once again, Spice Tandoori is always first choice for curry nights!

Really good takeaway curry, very tasty. Will definately return.

Great as always! Love this place definitely recommend :)

Not as good as usual bit of a let down, there was oil everywhere when I opened the curries both had only half a tub in each and dry as all the oil had been tipped out in transit

Phenomenal food. Mild, medium or hot on every curry choice is fantastic. I've never had a job korma before!

Special request catered for thank you
