Spice Village in Wandsworth

Service-wise, the staff is not well-trained. The management changed a couple of months ago, and the negative impact on the overall food and service quality is quite evident. We used to go there three times a month, but we’ve stopped going now. It’s a shame.

Best restaurant in London great service Sanjita was brilliant the best smile and service top class

My family hosted an engagement party and Sanjita and her co workers were absolutely amazing and helpful.

The place is nice, the service attentive and the reviews are good. However, a lot of the dishes we ordered were very salty, all in our group agreed on this, so it's not just a personal thing. Benefit of the doubt and will go again.

The best Falooda one can have 🙌🏻 Always loved the unique taste which never changes. Had bad experience at other replaced with constant recipe change. Hats off to Spice village for keeping it the same no matter what day or time you order. We had Falooda to go and my guests from abroad loved it. The only weak point are the paper straws which don’t last long and you end up drinking the Falooda. All over a must try 👍🏻😍

Great experience. Very Good Good and excellent service by Zainab. Thank you very much!

Excellent food, as always! Our waiter - Yasir - did a brilliant job of looking after us; we’ll definitely be back soon, thank you!

Sanjita made our whole experience amazing

We was served by Sanjita and the hospitality was great and the food was amazing

We dined here and Sanjita was the loveliest! Food was really nice and she made sure we were comfortable and was so nice!

Good food ,staff good 5 ⭐️ Sanjita good Customer service

Excellent quality Pakistani food, very and very nice dining area. Maria and Sanjite served us really well. Thanks

The decor is really nice and modern, the venue is clean and spacious, waiters are friendly and attentive, food is delicious! Our waiter, Sanjita, was really friendly and prompt with service.

It felt like dining at a friend’s house — warm and welcoming.

10/10 Was served by Sanjita- shes very nice- 10/10 experience and the service.

Sanjita was so lovely and she welcomed us very well in the restaurant

Very tasty food and excellent service by Sanjita

Food was awesome and delicious. We went for birthday celebration. Karishma and Maria served our table. They were very cordial. Must recommend.

Really good food and service was great by sanjita!

Lovely service from Sanjita. Great food and a friendly atmosphere.

We had a big table and Sanjita was the most amazing waitress, who made ordering so easy and was very attentive. Food was also lovely

Chicken biryani was not that good. Seekh kebabs were burnt, Chapli kebab was very dry. Chicken wings were awsome and the kids meal was good too. Sanjita’s service made it a great experience in spice village. Thanks

Had an amazing experience at Spice Village London! We were visiting from the USA and were helped by Yassir and Zainab - truly the sweetest people ever. They were so warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish came out fast, piping hot, and full of authentic Pakistani flavors. The service was excellent from start to finish, making our meal even more memorable. While the location is a bit far from central London, if you’re craving incredible Pakistani food, the trip is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.

Server Sanjita was very warm and friendly.

Maria who was our host was really great and always had a smile when catering for our needs

The service is amazing!! The best I've ever had!! The food is really good too! This is a must visit

Had the best food and service at Spice Village. thanks to Arishma for being so kind and attentive during our lunch.

Wow!! The most amazing food and service, be good to yourself and come to this beautiful restaurant 👏

Sanjita was great, fantastic service. Fish tikka and lamb balti in particular were delicious.

So I've heard that you should go for the chicken tikka, and it turns out that you absolutely need to come here for the chicken tikka; maybe the best in London. The chicken is marinated and grilled first, and it adds a lot to the flavor. The sauce is expertly balanced with many layers or spices. Arishma helped us and she was great!

Food was very tasty and service was quick. Maria was a great waitress! Would come again.

I recently visited and the food is delicious. It’s amazing. Staff is very professional specially asad

We visited the tooting branch on the 4th day of Eid-ul-Fitr but were totally disappointed by the quality and taste of food. First the service girl was very non-cooperative in explaining about food but when she realized after observing our behavior and we were about to leave she requested us to stay.

Visited Spice Village on Friday 2 May and was served by lovely Sanjita. Her patience, customer service, warm and friendly personality made our experience throughly enjoyable. 10/10 for such a beautiful soul.

Sanjita was my waiter and she was lovely. She made sure everyone at my table was extremely comfortable and every question we had she answered and was so helpful. 5 stars girl⭐️

Our waitress was Sanjita and she was absolutely wonderful! She was so polite, patient, friendly and warm and made our dining experience lovely. I give her 10/10 for her customer service.

Thanks to Sanjjta for the service and her kindness. We loved it. I recommend!

Very warm welcome from the Sanjita staff. The dishes were generous. We were passing through London and will return if necessary. Thank you

An exceptional experience! A huge thank you to Sanjita, our waitress, for her warm welcome, her smile and her professionalism throughout the meal. The dishes were simply delicious, perfectly presented and full of flavor. The service was impeccable from start to finish. A restaurant that I recommend with my eyes closed!

Great service and meal Not my first visit and won’t be my last.

It was best experience here. The food was top class and the Service as well. Yasir who served us was so kind and respectful. Their “Anarkali Besan Wali Machli” was so good just Love it 👌🏻. He provided us a great service. Definitely gonna visit again ❤️

Sanjita was great and provided impeccable service. Thank you!

Sanjita thank you for taking care of us.

Love their Dynamite Chicken and Seekh Kabab. Chicken Tikka Massala curry was also spicy and tasty. A good variety of dishes and prices are reasonable as per the servings. Some chicken pieces felt were not very tender.

Sanjita was really good and polite

The food was great. The service by Sanjita was amazing and she was very helpful and sweet

The food was delicious , excellent customer service and staff was very friendly especially sanjita and mohsin ( tooting Branch).

Sanjita was very good and helpful. Five star service

Fantastic food and service. Thank you Maria!

Great service by Yasir and overall good experience for family dining. Will revisit!

Absolutely amazing service, staff & management! Zainab fantastic,,,! Mr Irtiza ,,, outstanding!!!

Spice village served the best butter chicken I have ever had!!!!!!!! Cooked by Asad, thank you!

Very beautiful restaurant ,the foods 10/10. Lovely staffs, I and my husband had great experience and thank you to SANJITA and ASad for a wonderful service

Top boy Asad delivered a fantastic Indian meal

Yasir da 🐐 Banging good as always

If there’s one place I trust. That’s spice village! Thank you so much for all that you have done today. Mohsin looked after us very well

Everything is soooooo good and at an excellent price. We paid around 100 for 4 adults and two kids

charsi chicken was to good and service of sanjita is to good and attentive i love her big smile and lahori faloda and nihari also good

Maria gave great service, good food!!

Amazing food and good service by maria

Zainab sanjita were amazinggggg. Both made our experience extra special.

Loved the experience from beginning to the end! Our server, Arishma, went above and beyond to make my dad’s 60th birthday celebration special. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel so welcome; we were incredibly blessed to have her introduce us to the world of Pakistani cuisine. Looking forward to dining here again soon and seeing Arishma’s face again!

I had a fantastic experience at Spice Village and a big part of that was Sanjita. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. She made great recommendations, checked in at the right times, and created a really welcoming vibe. It’s rare to find service that feels both personal and polished, but Sanjita nailed it.

Had a good experience. The food was good. *Asad* was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the meal. He made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Excellent service that made the whole dining experience even better.

Sanjita was very professional and always catered to our needs with a smile despite how busy it was here. Her service was amazing and food was also nice. Samosa chat needs some improvement but biryani and pani puri was great. 👍

The best value restaurant we have ever been too A table of food for £60 Great tasting and super fresh too Fantastic interior Only downside for me was that they don't serve alcohol and I love a cold beer with a curry Will return if nearby Visiting 2024 👆 Re visited April 2025 Unbelievable amount of beautiful tasting food 😋 Still a fantastic restaurant 👌 Guys look at the bill 😀😀Highly Highly recommended 👌

Sobreprecio, no es nada agradable. La comida sosa no es de la mejor calidad. La música estaba demasiado cargada que no podía oír a la gente que estaba enfrente de mí. £ 7 . 99 por un cóctel que no me permitieron terminar. (Fui al baño para encontrar que había sido despejado cuando regresé)

We went here a few days ago and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious 10/10. The service was also great and the atmosphere was perfect for a family. Very family oriented restaurant. The food was fresh and served quickly. Everything we ordered was spot on. There was also plenty of parking nearby. We parked on a street near the restaurant. Overall amazing experience.

Excellent service from Zain - very warm, welcoming and accomadating to our needs - thanks to all

One day i have visit here. Inn shaa allah

Average. Or below average. Curious that a lot of the 5 star reviews appear to be written by AI or in a manner as if advertising the restaurant. The less than 5 star reviews appear genuinely written…. For an average curry house to have this many high grade reviews is totally out the ordinary. Check out some of London’s hottest restaurants and their reviews/ rating. How is the awfully basic restaurant doing so well on ratings? Something isn’t right. Decor is good. Staff rushed, tired, not attentive. Food is super average, clearly cheapest ingredients available with a cheap chef. Don’t go. Even the rice was bad… how? Never again. Supermarket curry options are the same.

Average food not Pakistani, will not come again.

Chef Abdul rehman seems to be an expert in making Chersy karhai and masala fish. It was excellent, served with good manners excellent behaviour of Sanjita.

¡La peor opción de Deliveroo! Pedimos en Deliveroo y la comida no era comestible, me dieron un korma de verduras y mi marido consiguió un tikka masala. ¡El nivel de especias era ridículo, incluso el arroz común era picante! No nos importa un poco de picante, pero esto nos voló la cabeza, quiero decir, ¿se supone que un korma es picante? Logramos un par de bocados antes de admitir la derrota debido a la especia. ¡Completo desperdicio de dinero, el menú de Deliveroo no menciona ninguna de nuestras opciones siendo severamente picante!

Great service from Asad And Yasir Thank you

Gorgeous lamb curry - karahi I think. Lovely non alcoholic pina colada.

I recently visited Spice Village in Tooting and overall had a great experience. The customer service was very good—staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our meal. They made us feel comfortable, which added to the positive atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was really enjoyable. The mix grill was a standout, with a nice selection of meats, all grilled to perfection. The flavors were rich and well-seasoned, and the portions were more than enough, which is always a plus. I also appreciated the generous serving sizes, making it good value for money.

Authentic Pakistani food one of the best i had in london interior is amazing and cozy i have yo say that food was bang on.

We had my birthday dinner at the tooting spice village and the food was delicious, good quantity as well as quality. We ordered the charsi chicken karahi which was delicious, the brain masala and tarka daal, we got village special masala fish and malai boti for starters, everything was very good, the roti and naan were so soft and so fresh. The staff serving us was exceptional especially Zain and Mohsin, who made sure we had all that we needed and were very professional. The kitchen crew did a fab job fixing our cake as we had a little accident with the cake we brought from outside, they went out of their way to fix it adding additional frosting and making it look almost as it was. I would definitely recommend this place for the food and the ambiance and above all the exceptional service. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of being served by Sanjita during a special birthday meal, and she truly made the evening unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, her warmth and enthusiasm stood out. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the night. Sanjita's level of care and thoughtfulness was exceptional—she made the birthday treat feel truly special, keeping it a surprise while making the process effortless. Her communication was top-notch, and her energy was contagious. We felt genuinely cared for, and her delightful personality made the evening even more memorable. Thank you, Sanjita, for making this birthday celebration so wonderful! She deserves the best and a pay rise!!!!

Lovely lovely restaurant. My husband and I are visiting from Sweden and we loved this place. Beautiful ambiance. You can really tell that each detail was well thought out, from the beautiful decor to the presentation of the drinks to the wonderful service. The food was also delicious and fresh. Highly recommend, especially for a night out or special occasion!

I went here. The place is good, and the food is too good, but serving is very poor bad 👎 the waiter has no good ethics to how to sorve food.

Amazingly quick customer service. We literally ordered within 10 minutes of arriving and ten minutes later our food was with us, despite we went there when it was very busy. The food was authentic, very fresh and yummy. They have a nice backdrop where you can take photos. Affordable.

Update to score after latest visit, drop from 5 stars to 3.The food is still very good but portions are tiny for the money you pay.Most disappointing was the service felt extremely rushed!It felt like we were in a fast food restaurant.Lamb chop starters arrived within 5 minutes of ordering,so definitely not fresh. We were eating at a steady pace yet they brought out the main course whilst we were half way through our starters.When we finished our main course and were waiting for deserts and karak chai,the waitress approached us asking if we were ready for the bill.I said we were waiting for our deserts.While having our deserts,the waiter who took our order came and told us they're not serving any hot drinks today. Why not???They were desperate for us to leave and free up the table. Between 3 adults and 3 children we spent just under £200 on lunch to celebrate Eid,being rushed in this way is unacceptable!!

I went to Spice Village for my Eid lunch, and it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, but the highlight for me was the lassi—finally found a good one after a year in London! The staff was extremely professional, and I want to give a special mention to Asad and Ahsan for their excellent service. They made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place for authentic desi flavors and top-notch hospitality!

This is second time in a row where we had very light portions and very greasy. Very disappointing.

We were there for iftar. We chose the iftar menü. They forgot to bring our starters. The food was very oily and not very delicious except for a few dishes. The şerbet was exceptionally bad. The service was very bad. They served all the group tables and forgot about the two of us. The staff was probably very tired and thus they were indifferent. They made us sit in the red room. The led panel was very bright disturbing the atmosphere. They enlarge their seating capacity, without taking care of their waiters. And you get bad food, bad service. I will never go there.

True Pakistani taste. Great for having a dine in with family.

Food was amazing, my dessert was Lakhnawi Halwa and unforgettable 🥹 nice staff and also quick service

Hi. I had an amazing experience of iftar buffet. All the food set for iftar menu was perfect and delicious. Even my Arab friend enjoyed the food, ambience and hospitality by Mr. Asad. Thanks SV.

Decided to book the iftar special for some friends and I. Very busy for a Monday night. Welcome by Front of House could have been better. Waiting team were good though. V Good quantity of food for £15 ph. Most dishes finished off. Kir (rice pudding) was inconsistent between servings. Nice atmosphere, busy. Music was a little loud before sunset. Pleasant enough evening. Dishes had a nice level of spice which was enjoyable for all. Would visit again.

Excellent place for a family dinner, we intend to visit again soon. Excellent service by the team.

Review: I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was bland and tasted like it was just boiled with no seasoning at all. To make things worse, the service was absolutely terrible. After iftar, it took them an entire hour to bring the food, which is completely unacceptable. By the time it arrived, we had lost our appetite. Overall, this place was a disaster—bad food, slow service, and a complete waste of time. I will never come back again!

My experience at Spice Village was quite average. Food was okay but could have had more flavour in the lamb korma. The mocktails were nice - recommend the peach mojito. The decor is nice but aside from that I do think Spice Village isn’t a standout for food in Tooting - there are other good restaurants available too. I was also disappointed because I clearly asked for two kebab rolls for takeaway and they gave me two kebab portions instead. I had repeated myself several times yet I was still met with the incorrect order.
