We went here for a friend's birthday and have to say left disappointed, the food was OK, on the par with any Indian, the service however needs improvement, my friend had specifically requested a certain table away from kitchen when booking only to be shoved into the closest busiest table when we got there, the feeling of being rushed through the meal and out the door was quite uncomfortable, this was compounded by wrong bills, wrong food orders & general tardiness of the waiting service

Disappointing experience here on a Saturday evening. Inattentive service (got a drink when we sat down but no chance of another, even when a member of our party asked if anyone wanted another drink as they brought our food, the waiter actively ignored this and walked away as quickly as possible!) staff looking annoyed when you raise (in a very kind and friendly manner) a mistake made by them. Food ok, restaurant very noisy with loud swearing from one table, unable to have a conversation without shouting so not exactly a relaxing dining experience. No warm welcome and we definitely won't be returning or recommending to anyone. Such a shame as it could be so much more.

Finally made it to the Merchants of Spice after many recommendations from friends. Booking ahead is essential, particularly if you are a slightly bigger group. It was busy for a Tuesday evening, and despite booking weeks ahead, as a table of two we were unfortunately on a table in a bit of a walkway. This actually turned out to be a bit quieter than the location of the other small tables though as there were some bigger groups in and it was quite noisy. The food was excellent, as was the service. Highly recommend the Railway Lamb dish! We also enjoyed having a different Indian beer on tap available. I will be back...when diaries allow!

My first time visiting this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. They accommodated our party of 10 with no issues. The service was friendly and prompt it really couldn't be faulted. The food was brought out within 20 mins of us arriving. There were so many different curries to choose from and not your usual Bhuna or Vindaloo. All used with authentic Bangladeshi spices and food. I decided to go for the Fish Curry with Pilau Rice and a Peshwari Naan. The curry was full of flavour with 4 fish fillets. The rice was soft and fluffy with saffron included. The naan was soft full of coconut and sultanas. I couldn't fault the meal. The popaddums were crisp and came with 4 different sauces. Mango Chutney, Pickled Lime, Onion Salad and mint yogurt. It was very busy as well, which shows just how good this place must be. Families were there and it was great hearing kids order their curries with confidence. Definitely worth a visit if you fancy a decent curry that's for sure.

We come to Norwich every year and we have never been able to get a table until this year. The team that run this place are clearly the product of some well-planned training and whoever is in the kitchen is pure gold. One of the best "Indian" restaurants I have ever eaten in, full stop! Don't make the mistake in thinking that the food is some kind of bespoke Asian takeaway style grub. Somebody has taken their time with this. From upper level management right down to the cleaners, this place is a treasure.

My wife and I were recommended this curry house for a good meal, being from Cardiff we didnt know where to go we read the reviews and thought we would try it and we were not disappointed. We booked our table for 2 and we were greeted and seated by friendly staff on arrival. The restaurant had a good feeling about it. We ordered our meals as well as a few extras and they were delicious I can truly say one of the best curries we have had. The service was very good especially our waiter Samek. We would highly recommend this curry house if you are in Norwich centre.

The food here is actually very good in both quality and portion sizes, it's also reasonably priced for a restaurant that has such a good reputation. But the atmosphere is one of chaos, as the seating is very close together and the restaurant is quite small. I could barely hold a conversation with my partner over the noise. I also found the staff were friendly and attentive but they all congregate around the bar which is unavoidable I guess, but it makes everything appear cramped. I loved the food but would avoid it during busy evenings.

Both the kids were out so the wife and I ordered a delivery from here ,Stright away the kebab starter didn’t look right , but I said nothing to the wife not to disappoint and ate it anyway … No favour at all , undercooked and to be honest looked like feces covered with onions , Moved over to the mains the rice was ok ( can’t really mess that up ) the chicken tikka again looked dodgy just about 6 chucks and sauce …. Chicken was very dry with no taste …. I mean NONE only managed 3 chunks and threw it away , the sauce again had no spice at all and was just bland ,Nan bread was the smallest Nan bread seen to man … NO JOKE .

Have visited on many occasions and still consider this curry house to be the best in Norwich (possibly wider). We know the team very well so service is always excellent, but I see the same service and diligence given to other customers too. They will tailor currys to your individual taste which makes choosing a curry very easy. If you ask for a 'Terry' starter.... be warned its very hot

Great food enjoyed by all, and given its in the city centre, reasonably priced. Great service too. My only slight criticism is the limited menu. For example you can get a Chicken Bhuna and a Lamb Madras but not a Lamb Bhuna or a Chicken Madras, which is unusual for a curry house. Would definitely go back

Best Indian in Norwich. And we've got plenty of those in Norwich. Food has always been very good here. You can taste the difference in the dishes as the spices are used properly. Meats are always well cooked and juicy. Veggies always tasty. Best Peshwari Naan I've ever eaten. Love it.

Eaten here lots of times and the overall experience is generally good. However, this most recent visit really did put me off returning because they got so much wrong right through the meal: Chicken Jalfrezi was served barely warm, no spiciness or freshness at all, chicken was in huge chunks, which had been reheated - not something a restaurant can disguise. Replacement dish was only just hot enough despite the jalfrezi issue. To avoid reheated chicken I ordered lamb korai and yes, huge chunks of lamb, dry and tasteless. Reheated. Another family member chose their usual dish, simple staple of chicken tikka masala. Sauce was thin and tasteless, more large chunks of chicken - reheated. No freshness whatsoever. Half was left uneaten - unique for the diner in question as she loves a good CTM! Overall, a very disappointing meal and one of the worst Indian meals I have ever had. They got so much wrong. Goodness knows what’s happening with quality control in the kitchen that they failed miserably and at the prices charged should never serve food that isn’t hot or fresh and is reheated.

Great variety on the menu. If you like hot and spicy this is definitely the place to go, I had what was described a medium jalfrezi and my mouth was on fire, so err on the side of caution if you prefer less spice. The service was excellent, everything was cleared away very promptly and the table wiped between courses. Reasonable pricing and generous portions. A relaxed atmosphere, comfortable seating, great for a romantic meal or as a group. Highly recommended.

I sat in on Valentine's Day. It's a nice restaurant with sexy lighting and decent staff. It really isn't expensive, maybe a pound or two more for a main but everything else is standard price. The menu has about 20 mains on. It is better to do 20 mains exceptionally well, rather than 50 averagely well. On the whole the food was rather good. The lamb madras was the best I'd ever had... and I've had so many. Portions were good. Naans were lovely and I love that they don't cut them up into segments like a pizza which is a thing Indian restaurants seem to be doing these days. The sag paneer seemed to have more butter than it did sag but that is really the only small negative I can think of... and it was eaten. Poppadoms and pickles were crisp and nicely presented, correct portions sizes. Ultimately this is one of the best meals out I've had in a long time, I can't understand the negative reviews about 'authenticity', it isn't what a family eats in at home in India, but Indian restaurants never are... they are a British take on curry, and it was absolutely excellent. Care and effort seemed to go into the food and it is noticeable. I will return.

Oh dear. This used to be, in our view, the best curry house in the city. My wife and I had a takeaway a few weeks ago which was disappointing, but decided to try it again last night in case that was a one-off. It was truly awful. In both meals, the chicken was tough, the sauce just big lumps of onion in a flavourless orange liquid with a few whole chillis - virtually uncooked and raw - and a big chunk of red pepper thrown in. No flavour and not nice to eat. Ws'll be going elsewhere in future.

The Merchants of Spice is probably the best Indian restaurant in Norwich but our takeaway wasn’t great. My vegetable Karathy was far too greasy and tasted the same as a normal vegetable curry. The mushroom rice was OK but again it lacked flavour. My husband’s tandoori platter was good but the coconut rice was too sweet and again his keema Nan was greasy. Its a shame because previous takeaways have been good.

We live in Berkshire but we were in Norfolk to attend a inquest and wanted somewhere outside of the hotel to eat. My sister in law found this restaurant on Google and I called to check if it was disabled friendly as my husband is in a wheelchair. We arrived at the restaurant and found the staff to be very helpful and friendly which relaxed us straightaway after a very hard day. We ordered our food and in no time at all our food arrived, well all I can say after that is that the food was excellent in fact we all agreed the onion bhajis were the best we have ever had and the rest of our meal was delicious as well. We won’t be coming back to Norfolk again but if we did this would be a restaurant we would love to eat in again.

We first tried Roti In early January, the food took an hour to arrive and when it did, one of the meals was missing. When we phoned to tell them, they said it would take another hour to get a replacement meal sent out so we said not to bother. The owner of the restaurant Contacted us to apologise and sent us a full refund voucher. Earlier this month, we decided to use the voucher to give it another go. One of the chicken dishes turned up not cooked through. The chicken was pink in the centre and mushy and cold. When we contacted them, they asked us to send a picture which we did. They did nothing About it.
