Spice Tandoori in Highland

Pretty poor in terms of food quality. Basically bland with pushy staff trying to hurry us up the whole time and treating us like we had never ordered Indian before. Big mistake all round.

Very tasty authentic food. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and clean and the staff are fabulous. We loved our food and the portions were very generous.

Great Indian food, good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and all things considered pretty good value for money.

Great spot with nice views of the river. Great menu selection, Delicious and good service. I recommend the Bengal Paneer and Chicken Tikka Massala and any of the nans

Visited fort William for a few days and decided we would like to try an Indian restaurant as this is one of our favourite food. The restaurant staff were attentive and food was very good, we would certain,y recommend a visit here

Great atmosphere and food very good. The starter pickles and sauces went down a treat and the mains were plentiful and very tasty. Could have been a little bit more spicy or rated slightly different but all down to taste, mighty fine meal

Amazing food and fantastic service. We came as a party of 4 following a long hike up Ben Nevis. We all tried something we’d never had before and were not disappointed with the quality of the food. Absolutely delicious! All 4 of us said the curries were some of the best we’d ever had. It was the perfect meal after a long tiring day. Would love to visit again.

We visited on our way through Fort William to celebrate completing the NC500 road trip round Scotland, on arrival the staff insisted on us eating here which came across as very pushy and against better judgement we decided to and what a bad idea that turned out to be! The food was very poor. Chicken pakoras to start were over battered and just normal chicken nuggets, we ordered lamb tikka and the lamb was mushy and could literally be drained of the water in it, the sauce was watery like soup on all dishes and tasteless and to top it off it was extremely overpriced overall bad experience would not recommend.

Restaurant with lovely views food is delicious. If I'm being picky, I think the service was a bit much hoovering around all the time.

Abbiamo visto che di voto era 3.5 ma non lo vale per niente. Vibo molto buono e porzioni davvero gradi e sazianti. Se prendete tante portate principali non vi consiglio di prendere il papadum come antipasto. Per il resto buono

Always good food and good service 👌

Worse food don’t waste your time here honestly

Got a take away a Rogan Josh it was more watery than a widow's eye at her husband's funeral. cost 20.50 little meat and full of chopped tomato..A naan bread smaller than a broken Jacob's cracker. It looked like Soup of the Day. Utter Mince.. Do better!

Really good quality south Asian food - would highly recommend!

Food here was lovely. Will go again when we are next in Fort William.

Great service, excellent food. Waiters wrote attentive, engaging and entertaining. It was .ore expensive than expected, the o ly downside.

Authentic Indian foods. I went to many Indian restaurants in Edinburgh, Liverpool, and London. This is by far the most tasty Indian restaurant I had in UK. The pickle tray with 4 different sauces is a must to have with Papadum !

Amazing restaurant , great food, great service, great view of the loch just needs Keema nan All meals were very tasty indeed

We love Indian food, but unfortunately, our meal left more than a little to be desired. The food was bland and not at all what we were expecting based on what we had ordered. We would not revisit.

Two of our party of fours main course was tasteless. The other two members of the party's food was passable. Shame as great decor and service.

Great food Highly recommended 😊 Service was good

Absolutely loved the food here. Wonderful service, we were seated immediately with a sea side view. Our host was kind and had many friendly conversations with us. We ordered a paneer starter, which was good to taste but the quantity was very less. The food arrived after some time, it was very tasty and filling. The prices were extortionate but we chalked it up to a once-in-awhile dining experience. Overall, a very pleasant culinary experience.

Lovely staff, great vegan and vegetarian options. Would come back again.

Easy food option, classic Indian restaurant.

We visited on 25th June around 5pm and everything was great especially the service from one of the waiters:) He constantly made sure we were doing well and even had a lil chat w him! Amazing food too!! We ate briyani and was reccomended a dish by him which tasted splendid! Everything was wonderful and we'll be sure to visit again when we're back up 10/10 👍👍

Tasty dishes, but they quickly take away your plates and bowls, as if you have to leave

We got the delhi belly after visiting and we stayed 2 days sick which delayed our trip back to Edinburgh 🥲.

Very busy but they fit us in with a beautiful view of the Loch. Delicious food was worth the wait, best indian food around.

I would like to start this review by saying that this place deserves at least a 4.0 not a 3.7 stars. We went here as a family of three (two adults, one teenage child) and it definitely exceeded most of the expectations set by the reviews. We ordered rice, naan, vegetable korma, aloo gobi, and saag paneer. The first thing we did was ordered water and it came almost instantly (also when we finished the bottle and asked for more it was very quick). Then we ordered our food and it was pretty speedy service. Some reviews have complained about being ‘checked on too often’ or even ‘nagged to finish’ but the servers were nice and did not come too much. The food was good except the potato balls in the aloo gobi were very big. The vegetable korma was very different than other places we have tried it and was a bit too sweet. Other than that, the rice was good (although not enough cardamom seeds) and I can not stress to you how good the naan was, and I imagine the garlic version would have been better! We even had to get another piece to take away. The view was incredible and it was nice to look out at the loch. In conclusion it was a very nice place in terms of service, sides, and views but the food was a bjt average. Overall it is a good place for people who don’t mind the foods taste being a bit different than other Indian places. But definitely great if you are new to Indian! 4 stars!

Fabulous food in a fun atmosphere with the help of staff. Best Indian food we have had in some time. Would defintely return. Fair prices.

Great food, always busy, theirs a reason why

Surprisingly decent curry, stunning views and super friendly Team, treated us courteously and like family. What I really like was the positive stance on vegan options, there were clear choices and able to advise on others. Fort William is not exactly a mega vegan oriented town but this place was definitely one of the better aspects here. Would ded return

We have just enjoyed an excellent meal at the Spice Tandoori in Fort William. Food was very nicely spiced and lamb very tender and good sized portions. The chicken was also tasty. The staff were very attentive and the Lochside views very pleasant. Thank-you.

Nice Indian restaurant with a good variety of dishes. Quite busy in here and staff very friendly.

Had an excellent chicken jalfrezi from here.The chicken was cooked so good and plenty of it.It was a bit hotter than most jalfrezi s I've had in the past but the flavours were so good.The portion of pilau rice was probably the biggest portion of rice I've ever had aswell.it would easily do for two people. Would definitely order from here again..

Wish there would be a No star option…the food was pathetic & it’s no where close to Indian cuisine,,,I have just puked after eating biryani here which had atleast 4tsp of Haldi,,,,my kid wanted to eat paneer n roti,,,which was served but he just puked after the 1st bite,,they even charged us for the side onions that are served complimentary with Indian dishes…i have been to restaurants in UK over years…this one being the worse for far. PS. THERE IS A MINIMUM BILLING OF £14 PER PERSON.

Syed was an absolute star. Will definitely come back for the hospitality that he gave. And food was amazing as always.

Incredible view, tasty food with generous portions, it was expensive but a lovely dinning experience, I’d recommend. Only managed one pic of the veg pakora! Staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive, happy to wait if you’re not ready to order, nice

Food is delicious. Staff is friendly.

Worst food I’ve had..we ordered garlic naan and they put garlic powder on top of naan.The biryanis have no flavour and the tandoori chicken has lots of red colour powder on it…this is the worst restaurant I have ever had.

Very busy and excellent service, love the way they are giving entry level jobs to young people....

We ordered the simple food but the spice was high compared to what we saw in the menu and ordered. Although food was delicious, but if we had known the spiciness of the food, we would have avoided it. One good thing is that this restaurant offered food with a reasonable and affordable price (😉 it was cheaper).

It is so delicious!!! I love it. Can’t understand why it’s not 5 rated

Wow, simply amazing. Very busy on a Sunday night, they said maybe a 30 minute wait for a table, was only 10. At the table they quickly took our order, and the food appeared within 10-15 minutes. Their service was exemplary. To be honest the thing that blew me away the most was how all the employees were working their tails off to get stuff done. All of them were moving with a sense of purpose and quickly...delivering food, getting drinks, clearing tables, it was awesome to see such an atmosphere of wonderful work ethic. The food... fantastic, we had the chicken korma, vegetable biryani, lamb palak, and vegetable balti. Our 2 year old had chicken nuggets and chips. The masala fries were spicy and delicious. Excellent all around... we will be going back tomorrow for seconds!!

This place was. . . not good. We were lured in by the good smells from outside the restaurant but we were all of us deceived.Immediately when you enter and start looking at the menu, you will notice that the entire waitstaff working during that shift appears to be assigned to your table, as well as everybody else’s. Around every 45 seconds, some waiter will come to your table and ask if you’re ready to order and you’ll feel very rushed. Once you do order, they won’t even stop coming to your table so you can have a peaceful conversation with your company. I had the feeling the waitstaff was pressured by the management to appear busy at all times. It’s almost as if they were overstaffed. Then the food came. To be honest, I wish it was bland, because my chicken must have had a 1/2 cup of sugar in the sauce. My wife’s chicken tikka masala was bright, vibrant neon red, and the pilau rice was just food coloring with no evident seasoning. You can kind of tell individual grains of rice are dyed. The naan was good, but to be honest that would be pretty hard to mess up. At least the view out the window was pretty.

Beautifully located and very tasty curry.

Avoid avoid avoid. This food will always be memorable to me as the most bland and tasteless curry I have ever had. And the most expensive one as well - the prices at this place are genuinely outrageous. The service was ridiculously slow as well to top everything off. This place very comfortable takes the crown of the worst Indian I have ever been to!

Certainly not bad, decently priced, and open later than most places in fort William.

very nice without being exceptional. happy to recommend the chicken jalfreazi

Top quality food and great view over the sea loch.

Lamb boryani was excellent but other food needs tp be imprpved

Food was so good. The restaurant staff is so nice.

This honestly has to be one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to... Really enjoyed every aspect..

The dishes are great, except for the naan. We waited over an hour to be served. When asking for the bill, it wasn't the right table either... Too bad.

The food was great overall. I will say all the dishes tasted like they were loaded with sugar. It was almost too sweet, and I am a person who loves my sweet dishes! We were kind of up-sold a dish we weren't too fond of too.

We ordered takeaway few days back for dinner and the food was very bland. Biryani had no salt at all. There was some weird side dish given with biryani that had all sorts of vegetable leftovers dumped in it. Paneer zabari was a disaster. Very sweet and bland with no spice at all. Garlic naan was ok. The menu had tons of errors and that should have been a red flag but still we ordered because we were so hungry but definitely a bad decision. Waste of money and time.

The best you can find in the area! Good food, excellent service.

I ordered chicken tikka masala, and my friend ordered vegetable with masala. We were very excited about this dinner, and it was a complete disaster. The masala dishes were blood red, the sauce had a strange texture, and the worst of all, it was very sweet, to the point of making me feel sick. I do not know about the other dishes, but the ones with masala are terrible.

Avoid it, food was absolute disgusting. It seemed like a good place but truly wasn't. 2 main courses ordered, 2 not eatable courses, we complained with the manager, he exchanges 1 and the food we got was okay at best

This place deserves a much higher rating! We go every year for the mountain biking work cup and it’s always amazing! Fresh, loads of flavour and staff are so kind & attentive.

This is NOT Indian restuarant.. They are fooling the people with Indian tag to all the dishes. Food was pathetic, owner / manager was really disrespectful. INDIANS please stop going to this worst restuarant. I want to give ZERO stars

Very nice food and fast efficient service

The lamb itself was very good but the masala sauce was odd - unnaturally bright red and too, too sweet. It also had a mealy texture that was very off-putting. The restaurant is very nice. I also had cheese nan, with an unidentifiable cucumber based sauce, maybe raita? Also too, too sweet.

Food was okay, waiter mixed up the starter and wanted to sell it to us at a higher price, starter and main course were almost the same, even rice had to be ordered and paid for separately. Comparatively expensive!

Situated in the High Street but the main dining area has superb views out over the water. Very tasty food with great service. Would definitely recommend.

NEVER GOING NEAR THIS PLACE AGAIN ! Although the prices are through the roof, food was passable considering the very limited options nearby. However, The manager's behavior was utterly unacceptable. Despite the place being deserted and just half an hour away from closing time, they BLUNTLY refused to let us carry a small portion of leftover food one of us had in his hand by saying AT THE DOOR “You can’t bring in any food from outside. Out of courtesy, I went to request the manager if we can consume that small portion of food along with a huge order that 8 of us placed in this restaurant, but he so shamelessly said we can’t eat that in here. What a sheer display of rudeness and lack of empathy, completely ruined what could have been a decent dining experience. 👎🏻

TOURIST TRAP AVOID FOOD IS TASTLESS AND STAFF ARE IGNORANT AND THEY PLAY DUMB THEY DONT UNDERSTAND YOU,

The view was amazing. But the food was not good at all. They have provided chicken biryani that was smelling bad and even veg was not worth it.

Worst food ever, just the name tandoori. Just red colour added to some water & served as curry. You might probably find some rotten vegetables.

This deserves to be much higher than it is! We read the reviews before hand and glad we ignored the harsher ones. This place is a solid Indian, curries were flavoursome and the mushroom rice was especially tasty! The service was super friendly and attentive, as well as the surprisingly beautiful views you get when you sit out back.

The Biriyani we had was not at all tasty. I don't understand why they don't put enough salt in a spicy dish. However, the ambience is great here and this resto is one of the best in Fort William. More focus should be put on making the food items more tasty. The cashew nut rice was nice though.

Absolutely fantastic food and experience. Service was perfect and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Really impressed. 10/10.

Hopeless Lazy n Rude Staff Never have food here

I would give this zero stars if I could. Walked in at 9:30pm (they close at 10:30pm) and was told that it is takeaway only. They said they stop serving 40 minutes before closing….they might need a maths lessons! Seems like they are making up the rules as they go along. All staff were sat on the seats and not working - seems like they don’t want any customers so let’s all do them a favour and never turn up again. Disgusted. Visitors to Fort William - avoid this place like the plague. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

A waitress behaving like a boss shouting at customer's when call for a service such good place people like them ruined our day

Had a carry out. Great food! Garlic chilli lamb was beautiful...tender lamb and great spice. Recommended!

AVOID AVOID AVOID got to be the worse chicken pakora ever its more like a bad Chinese chicken ball. Very over priced £15 for a small bowl of curry that's not with rice. Definitely got to be the wose pakora in scotland. Staff kept walking round your table felt very rushed. WONT BE BACK. STICK TO WETHERSPOONS CURRYS A LOT BETTER VALUE.

The last time I was in this building, it was the Drovers. The food was fantastic, and the service was fabulous. They couldn't do enough, and there was more food than I could finish. We tried 4 different curries, and all of them were top-notch.

We found this only restaurant for dinner in the Fort William, took the risk and it was a worth visiting. Food was spicy as per our tastebuds ,Staff were friendly and kind , atmosphere was good. Great dinner on Friday night.

We came here with the family including kids, The service was average but the food quality & taste was lower than average. As there is not many choices of Indian foods so they are taking a fully advantage of this & over charging.

Shocking prices, £18.95 for a chicken tikka starter, naan bread and a portion of chips to take out. We asked for the chicken tikka plain and it came with onions and mushrooms. I took it back and they tried to charge me again for it plain!!!!

The chef thinks that if he put bright red tandori masala on everything, it will do the trick. Well, it didn’t. The taste of tandori chicken was awful. We ordered fried rice and got boiled basmati rice (bland). Chicken jalfarezi was ok but again the bright red tandori colour was immensely unappetising. Staff needs to learn a thing or two about the hospitality sector - weird attitude. The amount of money owner has spent on ambience speaks for itself (and oh dont get me started on playing french pop songs in an Indian restaurant…!!??) but it would be wise to channel the money in finding a proper indian chef and training waiters. Excruciatingly overpriced! Disappointing and underwhelming

We were hesitant to order this because of the other reviews. Our experience was great. We got the food for takeaway but the staff were friendly and the food was ready on time and really delicious. We had naan, rice, chicken jalfrezie, and lamb garlic masala. Overall really great.

When we visited Fort William, Scotland, we found an Indian food restaurant there, so we were happy to have Indian food. However, it turned out to be a terrible experience, destroying all our travel plans. The food was not good at all; we ordered naan, mixed grill, and paneer masala, but when they served it, we noticed it was heavily colored and spicy additionally, it's very costly; they charged 46 pounds . When we complained, they replaced the paneer with chicken curry. It was a bad experience, and it affected our stomachs negatively

I just ordered a chicken curry and chicken nuggets and chips with a cheese naan bread and it was absolutely delicious thank you

Das Essen war sehr gut, es sind grosse Portionen. Die Bedienung was okay. Ist empfehlenswert!

Not a good meal and left disappointed. Very poorly made sauces and chicken bone dry. The korma sauce looked and tasted weird, so sickly sweet and gloopy and my dopiaza tasted like chilli powder had been added to the sauce after heating, not nice. Vegetable pakora was nice but cold. You need to pay extra if you want a dip which we didn’t know that. Strange for a restaurant but the spiced onions are served in a take away container at your table and also very dry. They leave them sitting out on a shelf so no wonder. We spoke to the manager and he apologised and we paid for our starter and drinks then left. The servers where very nice.

Best curry ever!! Wasn't really wanting a curry this night but it was right opposite our hotel. But so glad we did come here. Looks small from outside but behind go up some stairs to a large open plan area overlooking the Loch. Pleasant area with nice ambience. We just had main meals but both were a LOT better than our usual curries. We had Lamb Madras, which was a nice brown colour . Sauce was hot but nit burning. But the lamb was AMAZING! So tender, it just melted in your mouth. Not chewy or tough. I had Chicken Korai. 1st time with this dish. I usually have madras but wanted a change. Very similar, but again, meat was beautiful . Sauce hot and VERY tasty. DEFINATELY would get again. Even the Naans were tasty. Not greasy. 2x curries with naans and rice, with 1 beer and 1 soft drink= £57. WELL worth the money. Can't recommend this place enough. I visit Fort William 2-3 times a year but will be making this my go-to place for eating for now on. Thank you for a great experience.

Found us a table on a busy Saturday evening, great prompt service and the food was well cooked with great portions.

First of all as a coeliac almost everything on the menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free. Modern setting, friendly staff and first rate food was pleasantly surprised. The Bengal Paneer was a highlight.

Popped in here as we arrived in fort william late on sunday night, so ordered a take away. The guy at the frount was friendly and very helpful. Food was second to none. Would definitely order food from here again,

Friendly staff and good ambience, but food is not so good. We ordered Jalfrezy and Naga, both of them were tasteless. All the dishes are heavily overpriced, day robbery

Samosa and onion bhaji were fine, the main dish was naan and chicken jalfrezi. Naan was good and fresh, as were the starters. The chicken was just thrown into the curry and not cooked together, precooked on a skewer, so not the best way and saving time. Being from Yorkshire where we get a lot of curry places and properly cooked, this was below par but fine as no other option nearby.

Called for a takeaway, ready when we arrived to pick up, when home hubbys was ok, mine was missing the sauce and was extremely greasy and the lamb was very dry. Nan bread was good. We won’t be having another one.

Me and my best friend visited fort William, after a long drive from Liverpool and Leeds and quite a few cocktails. Me and my bestie thought it was best not to cook. Rang this lovely restaurant and asked for a take away. Despite the fact they don’t deliver, they took pitty on me and my friend. They really did not disappoint, this is one of the best chicken tikkas I have eaten, the perfect blend of sweet and species, fantastic naan bread. My friend had the lamb korma, lamb was perfectly tender and delicious. 10/10.

Booked a table for two and was welcomed in. Had the usual popodoms and dips which was lovely and crisp. A couple of Peroni zeros were had. Main chicken tikka rogan Josh and a bhuna were decent size and very flavoursome. The peshwerie nan a bit tough. Service was excellent and staff pleasant. Will certainly return.

We are here tonight as a family of five. Two adults and children aged 9-15. We had popadoms and pickles to start, then onion bhajis and samosas followed by mains of curries and biriani and sides of naan, rices and paratha bread. The service was lovely and all food tasted fresh and delicious. It isn’t cheap but prices are in line with other restaurants in the area. We would definitely come back if staying in the area again.

Food is too expensive for its taste and quantity.

Very expensive compared to food very very small portion

Great Indian restaurant in Fort William, food great and very polite helpful staff.
