Sunny Spice (Fowey) in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Really very good, can’t fault the quality and taste of a superb meal.

ordered takeaway, shockingly bad. mutter paneer was insanely small, about 1/4 of the container was full. bland and no spice, even though it’s described as spicy. barely fed one person and £13. had a tandoori roti and was honestly worse, genuinely inedible… dry, not slightly flakey or crispy, no flavour of any kind. tasted like a gluten free tortilla. the worst indian i’ve ever eaten in my life. if you are a boring white person who has no interest in authentic flavours, you’ll love this place! 😍

Best indian food in Cornwall fresh tasty and perfect use of spices my go to curry house from now on

Good value for dinner in Fowey and quick service - we stumbled on this by chance while on holiday and pleased we went! Glad we ate inside the restaurant instead of getting a takeaway too.

We were staying in Fowey last week in a self catering property so decided to grab a take out from Sunny Spice one night. Couldn’t fault it at all. We eat curry’s a lot and can be quite fussy but all the dishes we had were delicious, full of flavour, plenty of meat and not disgustingly greasy like some places! Not the biggest portions but the quality was perfect. Will eat in the restaurant when we visit next

Have been here several times before but just had the best curry. Portions very generous with good service. I believe they have a new chef which I would highly recommend..

Really tasty food, amazingly friendly service.

Very disappointing, when booked we stated 5 seats plus room for baby in push chair but when arrived we was given a table for 4 people and staff didn’t understand what wanted so we just found ourselfs the right table in a empty restaurant, waited 20 mins to be offered a drink then waited for further 1 hour 20 for food to come within this time we had to go to the bar to ask for more drinks, when food arrived biriani sauce was very small for amount of rice the sag paneer tasted like it was frozen and done in microwave. As for the toilets very dirty and so small they had to fit sliding door as can’t open door into bathroom which also didn’t have any baby changing facility’s , finally when as the bar to pay bill you can see into the kitchen where I seen the chef serving rice onto place with bare hands from a large bowl which put nail in coffin for me, shame as we are local and will never return there again

I can say it was the worst Indian I have ever had don't weast your money will never eat there again very disappointed poor quality food over priced

Always excellent, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fab little gem. Service was great ,great meal and would I go back again yes yes yes

Every dish was delicious. Mushroom and spinach dhosa, shredded cabbage with coconut, vegetable biryani, mango lassi. Good atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. Not expensive (cost us £40 for two people including drinks and we were full after). Massive recommend. First time visiting, will be back.

Every dish was delicious. And inexpensive (£20 per person including drinks, and that was plenty of food). Recommend the dhosas.

Had a takeaway. We are used to tomato based Bangladesh type madras curries and this was more coconut cream based. Was different but still enjoyed it. We will go back and try something different next time .

The review format doesn’t allow for ‘takeaway’ but this review is about that anyway. What superb food is produced here. The staff are charming and smiley and the prices are absolute value for money. We had Chicken Madras and Lamb Jalfrezy as mains, with Aloo Gobi, plain Basmati Rice and some Tandoori Rotis. What a fabulous tasty, beautifully cooked feast we had. Can’t resist, going again soon!

Restaurant was cold had to keep my coat on , handrails to toilets were in need of a serious clean food was of a poor standard we are experienced curry eaters the quality here is less than good ! Avoid if you can .

Lovely meal at Sunny Spice, starters were good, the vegetable Kadai had lots of flavour and the garlic naan one of the best I have ever had. The pahardi kebab was lovely marinated chicken with extra sauce served with it. The service was friendly and it was a lovely meal out.

Great South Indian meal. All six meals were enjoyed and the service very good. Our second time in 18 months when back in Fowey.

Had a really lovely meal at Sunny Spice which was thoroughly enjoyed by both the meat eaters and vegetarians in our family. Book in advance in peak season though as the restaurant was rightly very busy.

Nice food located in the centre of Fowey - good atmosphere and the place was busy so advisable to book. Great service throughout the evening.

Second time to Cornwall in nearly 40 years. Was staying at Trenython Manor 3 miles from Fowey. Love a curry and found this establishment near by. You never know what your going to get at a new curry wasn't disappointed. They ticked all the boxes for me. I will be back for more Well done

Really nice food, a bit on the mild side 🌶

Best Indian food we have had in England. Tried multiple things and they were all delicious.

Complex and layered spicing. Delicious

We could tell right from the start that this was going to be great food. It was very clean and tidy and all presented very well. We could see the chefs cooking away, immaculately dressed in their whites. Everything we had was fresh, delicately spiced and tasted amazing. We have been lucky enough to visit quite a few indian restaurants and this we believe is one of the best maybe even the best.

We visited Sunny Spice whilst on holiday in Fowey. The food, service and location were all so fantastic that we booked again for a second meal. Staff are very friendly, lovely menu choices that offers a change from ‘standard’ curry houses in the UK. Would recommend to anyone visiting Fowey.

Fantastic meal, really tasty, lovely staff, good value & good sizes, absolutely loved it here 😁 No photos cos we ate it too fast.!

Was a total surprise to have such a nice curry down in Fowey, portion sizes were huge too, great value for money.

Nice they found us a table without booking. Not enough sauce with either the biriani and the lamb madras curry. Poppadoms were nice but only 3 condiments, normally get 5 wherever you go

Really enjoyed the food here, would recommend a visit if nearby.

A wonderful Indian in the beautiful town of Fowey. The food was delicious with lots of veggie options, and the service was amazing. Highly reccomend a visit if you're in Fowey!

Amazing! One of the best curry houses I know! They serve southern indian cuisine, perfectly prepared, delicately spiced and absolutely superb. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you want to try a totally different dish to the usual curry, have their massalla dosai! This was the second year we have visited and it was well worth the journey by boat! Nice chatty staff too!

Got a table during the busy regatta week due to a last minute cancellation. Great curry, good value and nice service.

Not one for Indian food but this one was absolutely fantastic

We've been wanting to try Sunny Spice since we booked our holiday and were eager to try the dosas advertised. Friendly staff, dosas were amazing and the dips for the poppadoms were to die for!... However I cannot rate higher than 3 stars due to a few reasons: the chilli chicken main was more like one you'd find in a Chinese takeaway, the keema naan was a little bland, and sadly one of our party got food poisoning from the mushroom starter (they're ok now but had an unpleasant night!). I think we just got unlucky to be honest, though we will not be going back this holiday to be safe!

Frankly class. I would sacrifice my daughter for their chicken korma

Good service but expensive meal for small portions. Food was not good standard and sauce was watery as if out of a tin. Would not recommend.

Really delicious food with tasty vegan options. Surprised to find such good Indian food in a little village in Cornwall!

I've eaten here (and had takeaways) many times over the past 4 or 5 years. The meal we had in late July 2023 was by far the best we've had. There was a new chef in the kitchen, and the food was of much better quality and taste. Thanks for a great evening and meal.

Trying a new curry house can be risky but this one won’t disappoint! We tumbled into the restaurant soaked from the rain and were greeted by lovely, cheerful staff. We both got two Sunny’s special trio, meaning we had six different curry’s to try. Great idea for when you can’t decide and the waiter was happy to give us a rundown on all of them. We enjoyed every one! Sadly we don’t live near here but if we are ever a the area this will be first on our list!

We had a great welcome here (we were remembered from a previous visit). And the food was great. Friendly staff and excellent service.

Good Indian food! It tasted great and our server was sweet (Traducido por Google) buena comida india! Sabía muy bien y nuestro servidor era dulce.

Food was better then the takeaway(asda value meal taste) we had back in 2015, had to ask for the bill twice, almost £6 for a pint of cobra (Traducido por Google) La comida era mejor que la comida para llevar (sabor de la comida de valor asda) que teníamos en 2015, tuvimos que pedir la cuenta dos veces, casi £ 6 por una pinta de cobra

Our first visit and won't be our last! Interesting menu with dishes you wouldn't normally get. Staff were lovely & friendly, great customer service. My husband's Vindaloo was the best he has ever had (& we've eaten in a wide variety of Induan restaurants around...

What an absolute gem if you love indian food. Impecable service,delicious menu. Outside of kerala the most amazing south indian food.

Incredible food and lovely friendly service and atmosphere! Lots of vegan options and will adapt dishes eg no onion in curry, did a lamb korma for us even though it wasn’t on the menu! Attached photo is Gobi Manchurian, a wonderful vegan dish I would definitely recommend!! (Traducido por Google) Comida increíble y servicio y ambiente encantador y amable. Muchas opciones veganas y adaptarán los platos, por ejemplo, sin cebolla en curry, ¡nos hizo un cordero korma aunque no estaba en el menú! La foto adjunta es Gobi Manchurian, ¡un maravilloso plato vegano que definitivamente recomendaría!

I absolutely love this place. I love all Indian food but the more authentic Southern Indian food they serve here is just divine. (Traducido por Google) Definitivamente amo éste lugar. Me encanta toda la comida india, pero la comida más auténtica del sur de la India que sirven aquí es simplemente divina.

Absolutely delicious. Couldn't be happier. If you like South Indian food you won't be disappointed. We only got takeaway but the dude was very friendly so 5 stars service / atmosphere too. Food was still piping hot after a 20 min walk back. Would recommend the lamb biryani. (Traducido por Google) Absolutamente delicioso. No podría estar más feliz. Si te gusta la comida del sur de la India, no te decepcionará. Solo recibimos comida para llevar, pero el tipo fue muy amable, por lo que el servicio / ambiente de 5 estrellas también. La comida todavía estaba muy caliente después de una caminata de 20 minutos. Recomendaría el cordero biryani.

Simply SUPERB (Traducido por Google) Simplemente EXCELENTE

Best authentic Indian we have ever had, highly recommend, was excellent (Traducido por Google) El mejor indio auténtico que hemos tenido, lo recomiendo encarecidamente, fue excelente

Lovely restaurant. Had a great selection for vegans. We left full and satisfied. I would recommend a visit. (Traducido por Google) Encantador restaurante. Tenía una gran selección para veganos. Salimos llenos y satisfechos. Recomendaría una visita.

Sorry sunny spice. I know you were hit all at once when I turned up for a takeaway order. I did wait 30 minutes which is ok, I just went for a drink. No qualms with the wait. Not your fault. I ordered a chicken...

Nice service, food was ok. I've travelled and eaten a LOT of curry over the years so am a bit picky in this area. Am sure to visit again when next down in Cornwall. (Traducido por Google) Buen servicio, la comida estaba bien. He viajado y comido MUCHO curry a lo largo de los años, así que soy un poco quisquilloso en esta área. Estoy seguro de volver a visitar cuando esté en Cornualles.

Was our last night in Polruan. Looked for somewhere nice in Fowey. 5min ferry trip. First choice had no bookings. This was our second choice. Should have been our first. Lovely food. It was busy but the guys were flying and there was no delay....

Tuesday evening, very polite and helpful staff, food was delicious and could not fault in anyway. Look forward to next visit.......thank you! Tony & Kim Kent (Traducido por Google) Martes por la noche, personal muy educado y servicial, la comida era deliciosa y no podía fallar de todos modos. Espero con ansias la próxima visita... ¡gracias! tony y kim kent

Had a absolutely delicious take away, everything spot on, lots of things to try, great flavours, would definitely recommend. (Traducido por Google) Tuve una comida para llevar absolutamente deliciosa, todo perfecto, muchas cosas para probar, excelentes sabores, definitivamente lo recomendaría.

Was in two minds when booking as for me the reviews were 50/50. Omg the worst Indian I've ever had !!! The starter was awful, the main course was only a tad better. I heard a chap say can we book again for Friday, I...

Very good meal on a Wednesday evening. Although we called in early in the evening, just after opening, we were well looked after, and the food was excellent Very happy to recommend and would gladly revisit if in Fowey again.

Perfect experience in every way. Caring happy service, great menu selection and delicious food and spicing spot on. Good value for money, we will most definitely return. (Traducido por Google) Experiencia perfecta en todos los sentidos. Servicio atento y feliz, excelente selección de menú y comida deliciosa y especias perfectas. Buena relación calidad-precio, sin duda volveremos.

First time ever visited as on holiday. The staff were very friendly and attentive therefore food was delivered quickly and empty plates were taken away just the same. You have to appreciate that not all Indian restaurants cook the same way, however my husband and...

Food was very bland I'm not sure when the rice was cooked. The colour of the rice was a dark shade with bits of meat in it, with no taste.

We were staying at the Old Quay House which is literally opposite, so we popped in for dinner. The team were really friendly and helpful (thank you Jade and Nancy!), food was really tasty and plenty of it. Highly recommended!

Pint of Cobra = £ 4.95 1/2 Pint of Cobra = £ 3.50 ( £7.00 a pint ) When I queried this, nothing could be done as the owner wasn’t there ! I’ve just been had over. You can all make up your own mind. (Traducido por Google) Pinta de Cobra = £ 4,95 1/2 pinta de Cobra = £ 3,50 (£ 7,00 la pinta) Cuando pregunté esto, ¡no se pudo hacer nada porque el propietario no estaba allí! Me acaban de engañar. Todos ustedes pueden tomar sus propias decisiones.

Food is good but watch their bill Pint of Cobra = £4.95 1/2 Pint of Cobra = £ 3.50 ….( £ 7.00 a pint ) When I queried this there was nothing they could do as the owner wasn’t there. I got had over. You...

The new menu really displays the chef's talents, some new dishes mixed with the old favourites, plenty to choose from for vegans, vegetarians, and pescatarians too.

What a delicious meal! We both had Masala Dosa's, such for me is one of the most comforting things you can eat. Absolutely scrummy. We also shared a portion of Chicken Shaslik and a new dish to the menu, which was a sweet, sticky cauliflower...

Fantastic restaurant, with really fresh ingredients served by the loveliest people, they really are so kind and welcoming. Always such a pleasure to eat from here, both takeaway and dine-in. Thank you!!

We came for a meal last Sunday evening, on arrival I asked the waitress for some help with gluten free options and to my delight I was told everything on the menu is gluten free except the breads, wow very impressed. We ordered sharing starter...

Lovely fish curries, and everything perfect! (Traducido por Google) curry de pescado encantador, y todo perfecto!

We walked in off the street without booking, to a very warm welcome. My partner and I were staying in Fowey to celebrate his birthday and both chose different fish curries I opted for the one with mango, and have to say it’s was delicious. My partner chose a hot curry and enjoyed his immensely. We would highly recommend. (Traducido por Google) Salimos de la calle sin reservar y recibimos una bienvenida muy cálida. Mi pareja y yo nos quedamos en Fowey para celebrar su cumpleaños y ambos elegimos diferentes curry de pescado. Yo opté por el de mango, y debo decir que estaba delicioso. Mi compañero eligió un curry caliente y lo disfrutó muchísimo. Lo recomendamos encarecidamente.

We’ve eaten here three times now and every time the food has been superb and the service has been excellent. The restaurant might not look much from the outside but appearances can be deceptive, the food is mouth watering. Highly recommended.

Been a number of times and always enjoyed it. Been today and it was absolutely awful. The onion bahjis came out and in line with Halloween looked like Freddie Krugers face. They were cremated. Then we got our Curry's, the chicken tikka masala was too creamy and had no taste. The alleppey Beef had too much spice. The Indian is overpriced but I don't normally mind paying as it used to be good. But on this occasion it was beyond bad. Shocking shocking shocking. Will never return. (Traducido por Google) He estado varias veces y siempre lo disfruté. He estado hoy y fue absolutamente horrible. Los bahjis de cebolla salieron y en línea con Halloween parecían la cara de Freddie Kruger. Fueron cremados. Luego conseguimos nuestro Curry's, el pollo tikka masala era demasiado cremoso y no tenía sabor. La carne alleppey tenía demasiadas especias. El indio es demasiado caro, pero normalmente no me importa pagar, ya que solía ser bueno. Pero en esta ocasión fue más que malo. Chocante chocante chocante. Nunca volveré.

We tried Sunny Spice while on holiday in Fowey. Excellent service and really great food. They major in South Indian dishes and you should stick to their house specialities in our opinion. Tasty, fragrant but not overwhelmingly spicy - very balanced in fact.

We’ve visited Fowey many times but never got round to trying out this very good Indian restaurant. So good, in fact, we went twice! The Southern Indian is more interesting than the usual Indian restaurant and I was delighted with my vegetarian dosa - my...

Worst curry I’ve ever had. I had a corma and it didn’t even look like one never mind taste like one. I live 2 minutes away and by the time I was home with my food was cold. Very dissatisfied and will not be returning (Traducido por Google) El peor curry que he probado. Tuve un corma y ni siquiera se veía como uno, sin importar el sabor como uno. Vivo a 2 minutos y cuando llegué a casa con mi comida estaba fría. Muy insatisfecho y no volveré.

We’ve meant to come in every time we’ve been to Fowey, and finally got here this evening. So pleased we did! Plenty of choice on the menu. Every mouthful was delicious, the mushroom and spinach dosa especially - enough to have half for a takeaway! My partner was really pleased with his fish curry. The mango lassi was smooth and fruity. Service was warm and friendly and the bill was very reasonable. We hope to go back soon. (Traducido por Google) Teníamos la intención de venir cada vez que estuvimos en Fowey, y finalmente llegamos aquí esta noche. ¡Tan contentos de haberlo hecho! Mucha variedad en el menú. Cada bocado estaba delicioso, especialmente la dosa de champiñones y espinacas, ¡lo suficiente como para tener la mitad para llevar! Mi compañero estaba muy satisfecho con su curry de pescado. El mango lassi era suave y afrutado. El servicio fue cálido y amable y la factura era muy razonable. Esperamos volver pronto.

Truly the worst Indian meal we’ve ever had. Can only assume the chef does not know how to cook !?! .. as he completely forgot to add any spices! Runny, bland sauce .. and rice that tasted solely of cloves.. just how an Indian restaurant...

Poor food poor service big disappointment. Waste of money in and out in 1 hour £50 bill for dodgy food best buying a Tesco microwave meal deal

Stayed in fowey for a week and dined here twice, had the chicken tikka shaslik and madras, both delicious and great service when dining in. (Traducido por Google) Me alojé en fowey durante una semana y cené aquí dos veces, comí pollo tikka shaslik y madrás, ambos deliciosos y con un excelente servicio al cenar.

One of best curries I have ever had. Loved this restaurant and wish i lived nearby to visit again. Service was fantastic as well, definitely visit this restaurant if in the area. (Traducido por Google) Uno de los mejores curry que he probado. Me encantó este restaurante y desearía vivir cerca para visitarlo nuevamente. El servicio también fue fantástico, definitivamente visita este restaurante si estás en la zona.

Read the reviews and looked forward to eating here as a change from local fish and seafood. We were not disappointed. Took on the recommendations of the very friendly staff and ordered Chicken Mumtaaz andKing Prawn Biriani. Both dishes were full of flavour, rich and...

The chicken was actually sensual. From the first bite it gave me the tingles and I knew I had to keep eating. When my chicken was done I couldn’t help but feel there was a hole in my heart, sunny spice is the only thing...

To be in Fowey in Regatta week & not have a restaurant booking.......However, the lovely staff fitted us in provided we could vacate in an hour as they were fully booked. We agreed, they gave us great food and excellent service. The menu is different...

Our hungry sailing family arrived about 8pm to Sunny Spice without a reservation & we were greeted with a warm welcome. Food & service were prompt & tasty. I had the raw mango king prawn curry & my husband had malabar fish curry - both...

There are not many take away options in Fowey so we gave this place a try whilst on holiday. Sadly it was rather disappointing. Edible but bland and over priced. I had a supposed king prawn korma for £15 which had 8 standard prawns in it. Not what I would expect to be described as a tiger prawn. Poppadoms were a bit soft. Onion Bhajis doughy. Veg samosas were mainly mashed potato and bland. Mushroom rice was just white basmati rice with fried mushrooms. No turmeric or any other seasoning. Edible but underwhelming and over priced. (Traducido por Google) No hay muchas opciones para llevar en Fowey, así que probamos este lugar durante las vacaciones. Lamentablemente fue bastante decepcionante. Comestible pero insípido y caro. Tuve un supuesto korma de langostinos por 15 que tenía 8 langostinos estándar. No es lo que esperaría que me describieran como langostino tigre. Los poppadoms estaban un poco blandos. Cebolla Bhajis pastosa. Las samosas vegetales eran principalmente puré de patatas y suaves. El arroz con champiñones era simplemente arroz basmati blanco con champiñones fritos. Sin cúrcuma ni ningún otro condimento. Comestible pero decepcionante y caro.

Tasty food, great service. A1 (Traducido por Google) Comida sabrosa, gran servicio. A1

Great place.. the food is fab full of flavour and the service is polite and efficient more importantly, friendly. (Traducido por Google) Gran lugar... la comida es fabulosa, llena de sabor y el servicio es educado y eficiente, y lo que es más importante, amable.

I went for the first time with the family and I was very discombobulated when I ate the chicken as it had so many amazing flavours caressing my young pallet.Defiantly recommend for people looking for flavoursome food and a sensible price.The waitress was very friendly...

Friendly waiters and waitresses, very fast service, the food was delicious and it was a nicely decorated building

Nicest curry I’ve had in a long time , lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend. (Traducido por Google) El mejor curry que he probado en mucho tiempo, personal encantador y amable. Altamente recomendado.

we go to Cornwall every year and the long trip down from Nottingham can be a dull one but what keeps me going is the though of that first mouthful from Sunny Spice, with its not the run of the mill indian favourites but authentic...

Living locally we are regular visitors to Fowey and for some time we have been meaning to come in for a meal, we understand they do help out with fund raisers for the RNLI station so kudos for that. That said we decided to come...

Excellent authentic tasting South Indian food! (Traducido por Google) ¡Excelente comida auténtica del sur de la India!

Popped in out of blue two of us. Restaurant was extremely busy, we were lucky to be fitted in. The service & the food was of very good quality,and as they were short staffed ,couldn’t believe how well they coped . Definitely recommend to others...

Spent a week in Fowey and I can honestly say the meal in here was the best served, best food and best value. Sure we had lobster, various fish and ‘posher’ food in ‘posher’ places elsewhere. But this is just very good at what it...

Excellent, tasty southern Indian food. Wonderful ambiance in the restaurant. Efficient, knowledgeable staff, who are pleased to advise re menu choices. We were on holiday from Derbyshire, to Fowey, when we found this lovely restaurant. We ate there two nights consecutively on 25 and 26...

Friendly service and good choice with generous portions (Traducido por Google) Servicio amable y buena elección con porciones generosas.

Wow. What can I say. Staff brilliant and food was something else. Different from our Indian restaurants at home, but superb. Well worth a visit. Definitely be back, when revisiting Cornwall. (Traducido por Google) Guau. Qué puedo decir. El personal genial y la comida era otra cosa. Diferente a nuestros restaurantes indios en casa, pero magnífico. Bien merece una visita. Definitivamente regresaré cuando vuelva a visitar Cornwall.

Really disappointed with the takeaway I just collected , no salad as advertised which means we just had meat and sauce ( sharing platter) if I knew that I would have ordered some rice or something to go with it. Not good enough!

Had a great meal at Sunny Spice on Thursday 9th June. Friendly and efficient staff, nice roomy tables and very tasty southern Indian food. All four us enjoyed the starters and main courses. Here for 2 weeks so will be definitely come back back before...
