Spice Villa in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Be aware £20.00 minimum card purchase. Although, having ordered £14.99 food and informed of the minimum charge of £20.00, I cancelled my order and was then told it was ok. They’d accept my card payment of £14.99????!! Too late. We walked away. And enjoyed food at home with a little more effort. I’m ok with a minimum charge. But it shouldn’t be negotiable. As then it becomes profiteering. So sad as I enjoy the food.😒

9 of us dined including children youngest aged 2 years. They could have not done enough for us. Fab food and service would definitely go again if in the area. Lovely atmosphere and Staff brill 👍 food plentiful.

I went there with my family and the food was 10/10. Not just the food but also the service. I don't actually write reviews, but the Indian Restaurant simply blew my socks off. It was very fine and good food, so we were all able to go home full afterwards. It's really great there. And by the way, the waiting time on Google is really true. We had practically no waiting time. I can only recommend the Spie Villa, it is a great restaurant that is suitable for families and singles.

Don’t Goo‼️‼️, if you want to live some years. We came from London to visit the Cornwall attractions, my friends decided to have some luch on the way, this is the 5 start restaurant shown by google but we had no chice, Worst experience when we entered into the restaurant, (Cost is Like London and Food is like Birmingham). (Even you will get cheaper in London.)

Wow. The go-to curry house in the area. Top food. The Lamb Sag was 10/10 as was my Veg Vindaloos. The King Prawn Tandoori Masala actually had king prawns in it which sounds obvious but in England is rare. Well done.. the best food in Chard easily.

We were staying nearby in Bishopswood and the leaflet for this restaurant was in our Air BnB. We tried it out and we loved it. Great portions and tasted so lovely. Staff were lovely too when we went to order. We took it home to eat and everything was correct to the order. They even gave a freebie (we chose onion bhajis) as order came above £30 (I think that’s the rule!). Can’t fault it, and i’m kind of sad we don’t live down here haha! It was good, and i’ll miss it when we go home!

Our favourite Indian restaurant. Always beautifully cooked and prepared food, served by the lovely staff who welcome you like family. We are fortunate to have this restaurant in such a small town. Try the Garlic chicken chilli marsala or the vegetable Labra. A medium hot dish. Avoid Tuesday as the restaurant will be shut.

I went to luckys next door for fish and chips

I went to Spice Villa with a group of work friends for a Friday dinner. It was a very nice evening. We enjoyed attentive service and the food was good quality. The naan I ordered was hot and fluffy. The spinach dish I had for my main had was made with good quality spinach. I really liked that they still use food warmers on the table so your food doesn’t go cold. Indian restaurants did that more in the past but you don’t see it as much now. I’m planning on going again.

Food average at best. Spent over £50 so got free popadoms but no dips which seems a little tight being menu says free bottle of wine. Delivery driver great

Very nice meal out with the girlfriend last night it was quit at the start if the night it did get a bit busy i had a veg morrisa and it was nice and hot my girlfriend had a mango chicken which was nice as we will be back soon

Very expensive! food mediocre at best, tables yo close together constantly being asked to move so staff could get by.

Food very expensive to the point of feeling robbed hence the review. The food was mediocre at best and quite bland, tables to close together and being constantly asked to move so staff could get by wasn't a highlight of the evening. An experience I won't be having again.

Spice villa is the best curry house in Chard nice staff and nice place for a curry.

Ordered a takeaway and didn't get it all.....really disappointed as I love their food

My partner and I came here on Thursday 21st December for a meal out to mark the end of a well needed holiday. Food was amazing, especially the garlic naan bread! Would definitely come here again if we visit Chard in the future. Very accommodating staff who let us have the banquet menu even though they do not usually serve this during the run up to Christmas! Highly recommend

Mostly go to this Asian restaurant for take away meals, but have had a Dinner once. A very friendly team who will customise the dishes. Very excellent food The spice balance is perfect and all items that we have had from the menu have been extremly good. The naan bread is perfect.

Went out with friends had the meal for four people,excellent value.The service was efficient and everything was hot and tasty.Everything set out nicely and comfortable atmosphere, will return.

Decided to come here after Bath House was closed. Arrived just as they were opened. Ordered Tandoori prawns which were £8 and we expected 4, we got 2! In our opinion, very overpriced. We Ordered 2 special biryiani, with chicken, lamb, and "king prawns" what we got was a very tasty dish, however the "king prawns" were tiny frozen ones.. Speaking of dishonesty, we got the bill after eating and discovered that the chutneys which we had on our table when we arrived, are charged at £4! There was no mention of this - when I questioned this, the manager shouted from behind me, without facing me, "IT SAYS ON THE MENU!" So, basically if you touch the chutneys that in every other Indian restaurant are free, they charge you. Inthijk this is dishonest, and not forthcoming.

Lovely fresh food and always good customer service the staff very friendly and welcoming

Superb takeaway from here . Restaurant was full on arrival otherwise I’d have enjoyed a sit in . Highly recommended from me. Front of house very friendly & add to a good experience 10/10

Great, great, great!. Support your local chef!

Really friendly service and excellent quality food. Helpful with a pleasant atmosphere. We really enjoyed our anniversary meal. Thanks so much for making it a memorable evening.

Excellent meal, excellent staff and they listened were attentive Food was amazing would highly recommend and we will be returning

Food and service was spot on! Will return if in the area again

Delicious food, some of the best that we've had in a long time. Everything was fresh and you could tell the chefs had put their heart and soul into the food. I would highly recommend this place!

It’s absolutely 5 stars. Staff amazing Food out of this world Child friendly Quality 1st class Spotless very clean And value for money.

Lovely staff, amazing food and quick delivery ery. Made our holiday worth while xxx

Excellent customer service. Nice Indian take-away food - what you’d normally expect from an Indian.

Back for another visit whilst on a short break. Food and service as good as last time. recommended.

We had a takeaway for our evening meal, fantastic food, good service. It's very hard to recommend restaurants as the chef can change but I've eaten in and had takeaways so feel I'm able to do so.

Was here for a couple hours really enjoyed the food drink service and the atmosphere was great:) would definitely go again

Freezing cold no heating on they said they had to keep cost down. Don’t sell any Indian bread at lunchtime. Curry was awful no flavour just seemed like tomato purée with meat. A jalfezi should be spicy with peppers! . Would never go there again.

Ate my dinner here whilst staying in Chard on a work trip. Very tasty food, good portions, polite staff and reasonably good value (banquet menu).

Had a lovely meal here this evening with a lunch of friends. The food was really tasty and was a good amount to choose from. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend trying this place out.

Lovely staff amazing food thank you highly recommended

Had first ever takeaway from here amazing food on time and food was just amazing will be using again

One of the best places I've ever been to the food is out of this world and the staff are fantastic

Had a lovely valentines meal at spice villa, The nice bit was the on the house champagne 🍾 and at the end of the meal a free bit of cake which was all so the house it,was a bit busy but the staff coped hope to be back soon.

Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Gluten free options- mango chicken and coconut rice = best ever!

Another good meal this evening. Exceptionally good food, great host and service. Sizzling chicken, chicken tikka biryani, recommended. Thank you.

Wonderful food with a large selection of drinks at the bar, excellent staff, low light, great decor adds to a great ambience and atmosphere.

Nice meal first time we have been there, on a visit to Chard. Friendly good service tasty meal, reasonably priced.

An absolutely welcoming place. Amazing food and lovely staff.

Great curry. Flavoursome and good heat. Nice people too, look forward to coming back 👍👍

Great food.. dining on my own for a business trip. Service was great and the Madras was really good. Would recommend.

Had a nice curry here lovely horse meat corma

New to the area, now eaten here 3 times in a week and just branched out and had the Shalley. Had medium which was the limit of my temperature with the lemon rice. It had honey and crispy potato stings on top a sour spicy red sauce. This is the nicest curry I've had and the taste was like a sensation from sweet to hot. Loved it, also had the Lamb Kashmiri a couple of time and has curried banana that's delicious. The Bombay potato was great, in short the food is really good, staff are friendly and the owner chatty and nice. My wife likes it as much as I do too so win, win.

Absolutely superb the food was great and the staff was brill we will be going again

The food was the best I have ever tasted! Will definitely be ordering again. Our delivery was exactly when they said it would be, and the delivery driver was very polite.

Myself and my partner were staying in the area this weekend and thoroughly W joyed our meal. We were recommended this place by some locals and thought we would give it a try. Being people who very much enjoy a curry we were not sure what to expect from a small place out in rural Somerset and we were so surprised! We loved every mouthful and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be going back when next in the area.

This is our go to place for curry when we are in the Chard area. Have only eaten in once but have had many Indian Take Away from here. Always very nice and lovely service.

Phoned for collection and was pushed to order more rice but refused. Meal was bland. Had passanda and korma which had the same tasting sauce! Would I go back…….. nope I would not.

I visited on a Sunday, which was the banquet night, £15.95 , for a starter, rice, main and a side dish. I enjoyed a very filling Sheekh kebab with salad and yoghurt sauce. A nice tarka Dahl side dish, pilau rice and an excellent chicken methi chicken. A 8/10. I requested tap water but it didn't come with ice and initially cutlery and a napkin was not supplied to my table. A tablecloth would be nice to add a touch of added class. Overall v. positive and friendly staff.

I visited on the Sunday Banquet night. The Sheekh kebab was full of flavour and was served with an accompanying yellow yoghurt sauce. The chicken tikha methi curry was very good, not too spicy but with a good consistency and flavour. The tarkha daal was also very good. At £15.95 all in, it was a substantial and very tasty meal. The service was attentive.

AMAZING Indian restaurant (takeaway) We ordered for 10 people and the food was received quickly, hot and delicious. Thank you * * * * *

Ordered a couple of takeaways and the chicken tikka in the curries was thin slices of meat cooked with the gravy not chunks cooked in a tandoori like it should be. The two different dishes tasted exactly the same with no flavour - just like a bland onion soup. Two curries, two rice and two chapattis- £27

Spent £59 on food tonight and absolutely tasteless complete waste of money

Had 2 prawn curries. The prawns were obviously frozen and defrosted in the Microwave. They were so chewy they were horrible. Expensive nasty food that after trying ended up in the bin. Will not be ordering from them again!

Had overcooked prawns in a Madras which was not very spicy. Overall very disappointed as I love Indian food.

For a valentine's meal, I was expecting a good meal for me and my girlfriend, however the food came out warm, not hot. Also after the meal we both now have food poisoning. Night was good, the morning thou wasn't.

Great food. Great recommendations from the waiter. The food was Tasty with a good balance. The beer was cold and crisp. Friendly and great service. A comfortable atmosphere.

Popped in on a Sunday evening. Excellent food and service. Meat so tender. Best indian we have had for ages. Ample portions too.

Always order food here because it's it wonderful. Unfortunately this last time we were quoted a 45-60 mins wait for food to collect, which was no problem. However upon arriving and paying, we were waiting outside for a further 35 mins (arrived at the 45 min mark) before it was communicated to us that our take away would be at least another 5 mins! A total of 100 minutes passed between placing the order and receiving it! While I understand that it was an unexpectedly busy night in the restaurant, the purpose of ordering ahead is that your food will be ready within a reasonable window of you arriving to pick it up! Straight up shameful

Always lush food every time I order! Forever reccomend spice villa and the staff are so polite and friendly.

Excellent food. Portions were big. Reasonable prices.

Just the best flavoursome food I have had Definitely recommend

Amazing food, absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff too! Highly recommend 😅

First class meal and service, HUGE portions, previous reviewer must have been to a different place.Very friendly staff, very clean restaurant, highly recommended

Very tasty Indian right on Chard high street. Well presented and moorish, flavoursome curries and side dishes, tender well-cooked meat, fluffy chewy naans.. We had king prawn masala, chicken jalfrezi, mixed starter, naan popadoms etc. all really good - blew our other recent Indian meals out the water.

Fantastic choice of foods, particularly for someone who is gluten free, reasonably priced and good delivery times. Staff on the phone are very helpful. Recommend highly

We ate here with long time family friends and my mother, our friends live in Devon, we had travelled down from Southend for a few days away so Spice Villa seemed a good choice, how right we were. Great food and wide menu, well worth...

Nothing like it was,very expensive which would of been ok as it was a special day,presentation very poor,sat with dirty plates for 15mins,no excuse of being busy very quiet.,portions are smaller too,do not think we will book again

Staying in Chard whilst we property hunt, so booked due to good reviews, certainly not the experience we had, found the food very average at best, overpriced( and we're from Essex) small portions, wouldn't recommend at all, hopefully we'll find Somerset has a much better...

On a location reccy for a week whilst we're planning to move to Somerset, so booked on the strength of some good reviews, very average food, overpriced( and we're from Essex) small portions, certainly wouldn't bother again!! obviously Somerset isn't used to a decent curry yet, we'll keep on looking once we've relocated

Lovely meal, friendly host and clean establishment.

Soon to be a regular, excellent food and service. Look forward to visiting again.

What an awesome restaurant! Awesome food and brilliant service! Probably the best Rogan Josh I’ve had and Paratha was something new for me and also stunning!

This restaurant is always our first choice food is always spot on, value for money, friendly welcoming staff, great with the kids when we take them with us lovely setting and atmosphere and the service is always fab! Highly recommend this place

The people were friendly and professional. The food was sooo tasty I had Makhani and my husband had tandoori chicken - we had cauliflower bhaji and onion bhaji and everything was cooked perfectly. We would both really recommend.

I really recommend this restaurant. The best Indian food l have eaten in years! Great staff, really friendly and helpful and atmosphere is relaxed. Go there if you can 🙂

Tasteless total waste of money , late delivery and food almost cold

Probably the best Indian food I've ever eaten! Srvers were friendly and attentive. The interior could do with a bit of a spruce but the food and service certainly make up for any deficiency in that area.

Lovely tasting dinner, food was excellent, would highly recommend

Good food but covid secure it wasn't tables to close together and no screens in between so didn't feel very safe

Love to eat here. Local and great food. And love the sizzling chicken dish. Good service all round. Really happy with every thing that do.

Just had a prawn bhuna from this restaurant. Arrived within 10 mins. Obviously microwaved and nasty. When you had a bite of the onion Bhaji it was obviously re fried and I ended up with a mouth full of grease. Papadums tasted like they were cooked in old oil.Nasty and a waste of money. Expensive rubbish! I won’t be visiting again! Keep it local they say well this restaurant certainly does not deserve hard earned money!
