Spicy Garden in Renfrewshire

ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A PLACE!! Delivered me food 1 hour and a half wait for the food the Pizza came freezing so I think that made the pizza after I called then had it sitting the whole time but the other food were warm so I don’t understand. Called them and they agreed to make another pizza and send it out would be around 30 mins, still waiting over an hour I understand they were busy but if there is a complaint then it should have been sorted. After over an hours wait called over 50 times to get a hold of them to see what was happening and they guy was no help at all instead of giving me the pizza they offered to give me credit for the next time. “Next time” there will absolutely be no NEXT TIME!!! The first and last time I will call this please there food was terrible anyway from what we could actually eat that was warm!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Food delicious, staff great. My jaw dropped however when I was charged £1.95 for a doggy bag. I halved their tip. Outrageous.

I was forcefully removed from the restaurant after I punched a member of staff. (I was mildly drunk)

excellent food and large portions - friendly service - consistency of quality as always - you wont be disappointed

Ordered a delivery, once it arrived it had items missing from the order. Took over 30 mins to receive missing items after I contacted to highlight missing items. Ruined a family dinner.

The foid here is fantastic. Fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I will visit again.

Spicy Garden isn't one of our local Indians but it's my mum's favourite. Delivery was quick and pakora and Chasni were delicious.

We really like this restaurant & usually have a takeaway once a month (and coming from Paisley to do so), and we’ve eaten in several times also - including Christmas Day in 2021 and never been disappointed. We booked for a family Christmas Day dinner for 12, but it was a bit disappointing. We arrived to a scene of chaos - groups of smokers standing in the doorway (selfish) , and probably around 15-20 people already waiting to be seated. The restaurant was bursting to the seams, and ultimately I think they’ve just taken too many bookings & could not cope. Our table wasn’t ready until 20 minutes after our booking time and it then took another 20 minutes to get a drinks order taken. 9 of the family were having the buffet, and so could obviously eat anytime - but the 3 eating from the A La Carte menu had to wait a fair bit of time initially for their starters - and didn’t get their mains as the kitchen “lost the order” … not sure how that is possible? It was only after I asked for the bill that the 3 were asked if they wanted dessert … very disappointing service overall. The one thing that saved the meal was the food - as always it was excellent & everyone really enjoyed what they had. When the bill was handed over I noted that our (3-figure sum!) deposit had not been deducted. Again I’m not sure how that could have been possible since a deposit was essential with the booking, and so they must have known it was to come off the bill? We will certainly return for a takeaway in the future as we love the food, but I doubt (sadly) that we will return for Christmas Day dinner due to the disappointing service.

The food and staff in this restaurant are truly amazing and a big shout out to the chef’s. The people you don’t very often get to meet but are the most important staff of all. Can’t praise this restaurant enough, that’s why we keep returning, absolute consistency every time.

Had to phone restaurant after 1hr 45mins to see where order was, it had just left. Arrived 15 minutes later. 2hrs in total. Delivery driver rang doorbell, I answered and they decided they were at the wrong door. Went and sat in their car for 5 minutes faffing around before ringing the bell again, having decided that they were at the right door after all . If only I had a big plaque next to my door with my address on it. Got my order. Poppadoms were smashed to smithereens. And the price-£1 for ONE Poppadom. Pure greed. The curry was supposed to be hot (3 x chillies on the menu) it wasn't. Wasn't even as hot as a Madras. The nan bread, which cost £2.75, looked and tasted like one you'd get in a packet at Tesco. Doughy and not much texture to it. £14.25 for a curry and a nan bread. Too dear. The mixed pakora wasn't very well mixed. 3 x small mushroom pakoras, 4 chicken pakoras and about 15 onion bhajis, presumably because they are cheaper to make. The Chicken pakora from here used to be brilliant, it tasted home made, now it feels like the normal mass produced stuff you'd get from a wholesalers. I think the quality of food has gone down, whilst the prices have gone up. It has become a bit run of the mill which is disappointing. I think it's time to try somewhere else, I just hope they are not starting to take their customers for granted.

The lamb is consistently tender and delicious unlike similar restaurants in Renfrewshire. All food at lunch service is cooked fresh to order. I love a curry, my wife not so much so,and have eaten here several times on my own. The food is delicious (personally love the Spicy Garden lamb curry with “well done” Nan bread) Nice crisp pint of Cobra to complement it. The value at lunchtime is incredible given the quality of food and service. Hopefully the pics speak for themselves.

had lunch in Spicy Gardens 3 courses for just under 8 pounds the food was plentiful and very tasty excellent friendly service too. We have visited befor also went to the Sunday buffet never been let down I would recommend a vist it is well worth while

We live Round the corner from this place, Handy ok for sit inmeal but what we found is they are very miserable on portions of chicken or lamb in curries etc, so the other night we ordered a take away of a pepperoni pizza which was ok, and a large mixed kebab I asked for strictly No Donner meat, so just give extra Shish and chicken, got the carry out back home 4 bits of chicken 3 bits of shish the rest was all bulked out with veg pakora absolutely fuming I phoned and complained he offered free pakora nxt time or 25percent off on my next visit, we won’t be back guy that is the Boss is just so miserable with giving folk meat, so annoyed won’t be back avoid this place

We've been a few time now and each time the food and service has been brilliant. We found a Nepalese restaurant in York last year and loved it so we were keen to try some closer to home. The momo's are super tasty and any of the Nepalese main courses we've tried have also been excellent. The spiced onions are how we like them, nice and finely chopped and tasty along with the Poppadoms. We've also had the lamb tikka which was superb - nice succulent lamb tikka which was tender and full of flavour, accompanied with a "crispy" garlic Naan - Fantastic. The staff and very helpful and attentive so if you like a good curry and want to try one that's a wee bit different (and better) then get along to the Spicy Garden - you won't be disappointed.

I went determined to try the Nepalese cuisine rather than Indian. Started with the Momo dumplings, great value (6 dumplings)and extremely tasty when dipped in the sauce. For main course I had lamb Thali. The lamb is as tender as I've tasted cooked in a very tasty not too spicy sauce with an aditional bowl of creamed lentils. My partner opted for veg' pakora and an Indian king prawn curry dish which she thoroughly enjoyed. £51 for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 pints of Cobra and a pint of Coke so really good value. Polite, friendly and attentive staff also. We will def' be back.

After having the buffet on sunday, i can certainly say that this is the best Indian in Johnstone and even in Glasgow area. Food was divine and resonably priced. Best Indian/Nepali meal I have had in years.

I go here regularly for lunch, dinner and the Sunday buffet. Always excellent service, fresh tasty food and excellent value for money too.

The biryani was outstanding and the service was 1st class are visiting again real soon. Thanks again for a lovely meal

Restaurant really lovely inside. Would definitely recommend a visit. Definitely the best Indian restaurant for miles. Think this is...

Always a bit skeptical about buffets. This place is excellent. The cuts of meat and choices of dish are second to none. Flavours in curries were great. Nice attentive staff, the place is spotless and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Magnificent Nepalese cuisine, light, fragrant, delicate but aromatically spiced. A culinary trip to the Far East. Please try!! Momo’s are a must. A culinary tour de force

Excellent all round - quality of food, friendly and efficient staff, value for money. Will definitely be back.

My friend and I attended for dinner on a Wednesday night in July. Restaurant was quiet but I bet it’s not at weekends. I enjoyed my chicken dish and my friend said her Nepalese lamb Thali was “sensational”. Can’t wait to come back

First class food, service and value for money, can't wait to return, super fresh, lamb was amazing as we're the poori starters not really on the menu but staff happy to let you order them

The food tasted fresh and was well seasoned. The punjabi korma was delicious and had a nice kick to it. Service was attentive and the wine good.
