Spice Valley in West Berkshire

We had a takeaway that was delivered yesterday, came on time and was absolutely the best Indian meal we have had in and around this area. Normally have to pour lots of oil out of the containers before pacing on the plate, but there wasn't any oil just a lovely sauce. We will definitely order from here in future and have already recommended to friends, neighbours and family. Highly recommend.

Amazing service and surprisingly good food. We were driving through the area and ended up in Lambourne. We wanted to have a Chinese but decided on Spice Valley due to its halal food. Service was excellent we were welcomed and felt like at home. Food was surprisingly good given the size of the restaurant I assumed it was just going to be adequate but the food was awesome! Glad we opted for the Indian instead of the Chinese...thank you Alim and staff at this gem of a place. Hope you all carry on doing well. Thank you.

We had the chettinad and the pathia. Absolutely gorgeous both of them. And the naan bread was lovely, fluffy and flavoursome, unlike some other restaurants I won’t mention whose naans are as thin and as tough as cardboard. They didn’t sell beer but that was ok as there were three off licences about 20 feet away. 🤣 So all in all a really good evening.

Disgusting people ! I ordered from this shop as it pop up in my postcode ! Sunderland I rang to cancel my order I could not understand a word they were saying but they have keeped my £34 !!! I am going to take this further …

Just had another excellent feed from Spice Valley. This is the place for curry lovers. Last week I had a tandoori garlic chilli massala. It's on the menu only as chicken under the specials but they'll do it with king prawns if you ask. And the prawns were done just right. It is so easy to overcook king prawns and they end up like mush and lose their flavour... ugh. But these were large and lovely, and the texture was spot on. And this week I had a king prawn biryani from them. Bit sedate for a curry lover eh? But the biryani is moist and flavoursome, and they very graciously accommodated me by adding finely chopped green chilli into the mix. Hit the spot! I'll be coming back. Thanks guys!

Over paid for wrong order and quality of food poor! Ordered King Prawn Puri from appetisers and got King Prawn Curry ! Tasteless and full of rubber seafood! Menu awareness and command of English should be paramount for somebody taking telephone orders!

Really quick delivery. Food piping hot and mega tasty. Well done guys. Much appreciated. The bonus is the free delivery and only a minimum £15 spend. Knocks the spots off another..local...establishment in terms of price!!!

Tasteless food. So disappointing. One dish wasn’t stated as being hot and was so hot we couldn’t eat it! Stick to Palm or Burj. We will next time!

Amazing food. Lovely friendly staff and good service. Never ever had a bad meal from them. Eat in or takeaway the food standards are thee same

Good selection of dishes. Traditional and house specials. Nan's nice and a good choice. Vegetable dishes and sides good selection. Chicken chat starter very good.

If you want excellent food with fast and friendly service, then we can highly recommend Spice Valley. Great menu with traditional dishes and wide choice of specials. Dine here often and it never disappoints.

Decided to walk up to our local Indian restaurant last night spur of the moment decision . We was greeted by a new member of staff . He was very friendly , chatty and couldn’t do enough for you ! The food we had last night was excellent ! Keep u the good work !

Whilst visiting my Son and his family in Lambourne, we decided to order a meal delivered to his address. What a surprise? The meal for four people was delivered exactly on time, piping hot and delicious tasting. It was also very reasonably priced. I will certainly have food from there next time I visit my son. Thank you.

Visited on a Saturday night with friends. The restaurant was clean and tidy and we were welcomed when we arrived. The food we received was of a good standard and tasted lovely. Service could have been a little better but overall a good experience.

Food was bland plus hair found in food and rude staff showed him hair and he would not accept it was a hair instead it was corriander

First takeaway from spice valley in years having got into the habit of using the Palm at Froxfield or Burj at Wanborough.. Anyway, Really good food and significantly cheaper than used to - a very enjoyable takeaway ready in 20 minutes although it very early in the evening, will be back!

Had the "usual" Bhuna. Lamb for himself and King Prawn for me. Oh dear. Really wet and sloppy not the usual dry condistency. Not as good as usual come on guys!!

Me and a friend went here on Friday evening for a catch up and once again it didn't fail us!The food was delicious as always! We've eaten here on many occasions and also had takeaway and whenever we've eaten here we've never had a bad meal.The staff were so friendly, polite and very patient as we were being very indecisive! Will definetly be returning again!

One of the best curries we have ever had, absolutely gorgeous and so fresh tasting. Highly recommend.

Apart from pubs this is the only sit down restaurant in Lambourn, but it delivers time and time again.

Spice Valley have excelled with their yummy food and excellent delivery. Drivers are polite and the food arrives fresh and hot!! Never had a bad experience. Keep it up guys we love your food!!xx

Friendly service, white linens and fresh flowers on the table, excellent food. Highly recommend this restaurant. The Papadums are warm and fresh, served with 4 delicious chutneys / sauces. Next time we are in Lambourn, we will dine here.

Still very friendly but recently the quality of the food has deteriorated. This is a great shame and could be easily fixed.

Just moved into next village a couple months ago. Was so happy to receive a menu through the door offering free delivery. We hadn't found any other takeaway who would deliver so we were happy to give Spice Valley a try. The food came on time and hot and all dishes were great. We will definitely use again. Thank you.

Excellent meal for 3 people. Far to much was ordered se had to take some home. Restaurant was very empty,it was a Tuesday evening but they were very busy with take aways. Lovely and clean will return again.

We have only had take aways from here, which we have ordered online ; very simple process.

Use only if you are desperate! Go to the kebria in highworth, or mahee in abingdon to avoid disappointment, well worth the extra miles in both cases

Lived in the area now for three years. Local reputation kept us away from this place. After change of management decided to give it a go for a last minute takeaway. Overall would score it 15 from 25. Food was OK but not outstanding. I had a Chicken Biryani which, compared to others in the past from across the country was fairly average. "'Er indoors" had a Korma, which was just acceptable, again when comparing to others from the past. The Peshwari Nan (my favourite bread) was just lacking a lot of the characteristics that I have come to expect. Many takeaways will give poppadums and some chutneys for free when you spend more than £20 or so, but not here. Best dish of the night was the Saag Paneer. We will most likely use them again for takeaway but unlikely to go for a proper sit down feast.

La comida aquí es bastante razonable a un precio razonable. Sin embargo, no dar su número de teléfono. Usted recibe spam repetido textos pidiendo que pedir otro para llevar. Me he quejado al restaurante y a Ofcom, pero estos textos siguen llegando. Hace un par de meses y ahora los textos semanales son la forma más ofensiva de publicidad conocida al hombre.

Los precios medios, pequeño comedor, incluyendo el bar. Comida un poco indiferente,

Hemos estado dos veces ya que el restaurante ha cambiado de manos y tanto el servicio ha sido esporádicas veces - sobre todo bien, pero a veces la lentitud. La comida es buena, quizás un poco mejor que antes, pero no enormemente. Menú es un típico, nada excepcional. Los precios son típicos de la zona.

Después acabo de volver de vacaciones y nos encontramos con la típica armarios vacíos decidimos probar el restaurante Curry Village local siguiente cambio de dirección y un buen llevar. Estaba bien para una noche bastante concurrida miércoles, mucho más que antes, una cálida y agradable...

Was told by cousin spice valley was good had to cheak it out was better then expected just what the village needed very friendly staff and superb food to accompany will defenatly recommend and thank you SPICE VALLEY...A++++++++++

very nice food and staff were very friendlygood service> they had relly nice indian desert and drinks

I can definitely recommend a visit to Spice Valley. Forget anything negative you may have heard before. Food and service are both excellent under the new owners. Staff are friendly. There's a whole new range of dishes. We're spoiled for choice - there's the traditional favourites and several modern dishes that I'd not heard of before. And if you're after something a bit hotter or a bit milder, or something a bit out of the ordinary, they'll happily accommodate.I'm also impressed with the website. It is so easy to place a takeaway order through, and if you have any special requests, like making a certain dish with king prawn instead of chicken say, you just put it in the additional comment box.Overall, I've had no reason to fault them yet. Long may it continue.

A gem of a find in this quiet little Berkshire horse racing village.The value for money is very refreshing if you enjoy good quality European style Indian food. The place is licensed ,so a welcome beer with curry is available and the service is prompt and efficient. The tables are all well laid and noticeably clean too. Portions are more than adequate and their take away service is both timely and well presented.

Very watery, tasteless and cold! When getting home with takeaway they had even got the order wrong. Very disappointed!

Went there because the takeaway in aldbourne was shut. What a mistake. A strange green foul tasting chicken dish with a sour taste - revolting. Under cooked bhajis. Small veg side dish was half empty. Prawn dishes were insipid. Absolutely horrible. Will never go there again for a takeaway. The coop is next door. Will go there instead

really enjoyed dinner here. everyone commented on the great quality of the food. we all ate till we were stuffed. everything was fresh and delicious. portions were good. staff were nice and good with the kids. we ordered kids meals not on the menu and no issues with that. so we recommend you pay this Indian a visit some time soon.

The quality and diversity of the menu is very good for an Indian restaurant in a village the size of lambourn. Where the wheels fall off is the takeaway service. My wife and I are not prolific takeaway eaters, but we order one every 1-2 months. The last 10 or so times we have ordered, 1) we are told it will take at least 1 hour to deliver, and 2) they are always late to deliver, on two occasions up to 2 hours. Every other occasion they get lost (even though we live on the main street in a nearby village) or get our order wrong. Needless to say these guys have a captive market here is the wilds of West Berkshire, but going forward I am considering paying for delivery or picking up myself from Hungerford.

Recent visit so don't know if there has been a change of chef but flavours notas good as in the past. Difficult to describe but all a bit bland and lacking in flavour.Portions are about average (not large) and adequate but meat content (chicken/lamb) is a little lacking and evident by being cut up very small. (You have to hunt for it).Maybe a one off experience and being too harsh so will try again as it was so goodin the past.

The food is always good here,a little pricey for me personally but you do get a good service.The restaurant is roomy and clean.The staff are always friendly.

It is standard food but quite nice!!Tasty and prices r ok not to bad even if you eat in.Eat in space small but ok only problem is the guys there tend to watch to see if you finished your food a little to offer at times and this can be a put off !!Apart from this the food is very nice

I don't want to be too harsh to this little restaurant. The food we ordered was great. I feel the lady could have with help front of house. Our popadoms tasted stale. The table was dirty and the owners kid was on his laptop playing computer games in the restaurant. Not very professional. The tables are too small like school desks. The only saving grace was the food to be honest

We visited the restaurant with our friends on one of the Sunday. They were doing a Sunday offer for £11.95 menu, excellent value.When we arrived we were the only ones, but in half an hour every single table was occupied and lots of delivery was happening.The owner lady was excellent host, she has explained everything from ingredients til cooking methods. Helped us to choose meals, she was knowledgeable and passionate about it.Deco is a little bit tired, but we had delicious meals and really good time.

We gave them a second chance after having a terrible take away. We complained and hit offered a free meal which was lovely. However we tried again and what a joke. The saag aloo had two potato chunks in it. Seriously how much does a potato cost the dish cost me £4 ish and that was ridiculous. The chicken dishes weren't much better with hardly any chicken in. You get more for your money getting an Indian from the nippy chippy. And their tikka tastes much better. Don't waste your time.

Having only just moved to the area we thought we'd try out our local Indian and we were both pleased with our meal. Great portion sizes, great value and lovely food.

Hubby and I decided to try out Spice Valley and wow what a little gem we have found... Ruby was sooo helpful with describing the menu choices and getting into real detail about the food - Indian food is a food group in our household. We were pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes and the flavours burst in your mouth... we had the lamb korai and I would recommend it. They were very accommodation as hubby likes his food hot, so his was made hotter than mine. Such a great selection of dishes too. This has become one of my favourite places to eat in the village...

We ordered over £140 worth of food. For a home party. Took over an hour and a half to get made. We picked it up. The food was disgusting I phoned to complain I was told the Manager would phone. I'm still weighting our family will never use them again. We live in the village very very poor

We booked in as a family group on a weekday. The selection was very good. Service attentive. Overall not expensive. However the portion sizes are more for children than adults. When we mentioned this we were told if you order a take away the portions are larger. As it was we ordered extra dishes to make up. Having said that the meal was delicious and we will go back again in the knowledge you need to order more dishes than one would normally.

Good Indian for eating in on week nights, Sunday lunch, Sunday dinner or take away.Sundays have a special of starter, main, side, rice /nan for a fixed price. All other times for eating in has a good a la carte menu which is almost but not exactly the same as the take out menu. Good selection of dishes and they will happily make special dishes, adjust dishes to your taste and liking.Very friendly staff who always try very hard.Have been going here for years and keep going back. Portions have become a little smaller with the economic downturn, but it still adequate.

Booked in advance for party of eighteen but had to wait two hours for food due to staff delivering take aways! Food took almost twenty five minutes to serve and was luke warm. Lots of sauce but very little meat and not much rice, poor value for money. Very frustrating as several people had travelled three hours for birthday celebration.

For a very small, predominantly National Hunt, Horse Racing Village, Lambourn boasts one of the cleanest, well turned out and, yet still, reasonably priced Indian Restaurant. We are now regulars and have taken many friends who are self confessed curry lovers. They too agree that this Spice Valley is well worth "the trip".Their Sunday Lunchtime is a must !!!

Decided to go into Lambourne after deciding not to go to a restaurant in Shrivenham. My partner and I saw this place and parked right outside on the road and decided to give it a try.We are so glad we did! Fantastic service, lovely chap behind the bar area. We were going to order a takeaway but he convinced us to stay, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves, they seemed fairly busy with takeaway orders.We ordered popadoms with pickles, chicken bhuna, chicken vindaloo, saag bhaji, keema rice and keema naan. All were perfectly and timely presented, the dishes themselves perfectly spiced, my partner always has a vindaloo and commented that it was the best she had tasted, a balance between taste first then a heat that did not kill the flavour of the dish, in fact it was the first time she polished the lot off !!My bhuna was exquisite, as were the saag bhaji and keema rice and naan.To sum up, great food, fantastic friendly service, i would recommend to all. We will definitely return soon, thank you for a lovely meal.

A completely rammed restaurant with lots of locals all enjoying the excellent Sunday Special value dining and the staff coped admirably. Fortunately our party of 10 had booked although a number of walk in's were sadly disappointed and had to make do with a take-away. The service was excellent as always and you can never fault the food.Although Lambourn doesn't have many eateries, Spice Valley doesn't sit back on their laurels and always tries its hardest.nb Tripadvisor - Lambourn hasn't been spelt with an 'E' not since Ye Olde times.......

We have enjoyed many good meals in the restaurant, taken away and also delivered home. The food is very high in quality and originality for such a small and relatively out of the way place - Lambourn is very lucky to have it there.

Great food and value at £9.95 for Sunday Lunch. Been many times and always good. Staff very friendly, efficient service, nice interior and only negative is a bit more meat in the curries would be good, but appreciate they need to make a profit. Used delivery service a few times and again always good as well.

For a small village they are very lucky to have this indian restrant my only complaint would be them watching you whilest you eat but apart from that the food is the best the staff are friendly x

Returned and again given a very warm, attentive welcome without being intrusive.Menu items explained on request and adjusted to personal taste.Always been impressed with the food and the new items on the menu wereoriginal, well presented and flavoursome.Clean, comfotable, great service and food at reasonable prices......what more can you ask for???

Good quality food and always a polite and cheerful welcome from the staff. If in the area on a Sunday try their Sunday special ...fantastic value

Have visited The Spice Valley many times and it never fails to deliver.Food is well cooked, tasty and stylishly presented. Tables have linen table clothes and napkins and are brushed clean between courses.........and plates are well warmed before serving.There's a great range of dishes from mild to spicy and the tandoori choice is great !Would thoroughly recommend the small restaurant ...................certainly the best for food in the area.

We often eat out here as we live in Lambourn, the food is always excellent and their service is brilliant also, Id certainly recommend Spice Valley to anyone!!! Although the restaurant is small it feels a comfortable space to eat it.

Small, modern indian restaurant in Lambourn.Friendly attentive service.Well presented tasty food with very reasonable prices.Decor bright and modern.Only small negative I would make is that although meat content of curries (lamb/chicken) is OKthe meat is cut too finely/small cubes so that the taste is not that prominent.
