The Spice in Tunbridge Wells

We recently had a work team dinner to celebrate the end of the quarter at The Spice. There were around 25 of us and the restaurant couldn't have been more helpful in organising the logistics of this. The staff were very attentive on the night and everyone really enjoyed the food. We'd definitely go back!

Have been here twice now and both times have been fantastic. The service is brilliant, the staffs friendliness and knowledge makes you want to return time and time again. The food is incredible, I have had two specials Thanks to the guidance of the waiters and both times the dish was great, we have a number of sides which are equally as good and nothing has been greasy at all (onion bhaji and keema naan have been elsewhere). We have been in the area for about a year now, tried other Indian restaurants but this one is the best yet!

Great curries served by friendly, efficient staff.

Extremely friendly host who took care of us and found the perfect meal for everyone. Meals were over the top delicious and being there made us very happy. Thanks 😊

Visited this restaurant on a weekend away, it certainly did not disappoint. All of the food was fresh, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent service, the food was 10/10!

Visited this restaurant on a weekend away and we are so pleased we did! The food was tasty, fresh and delicious! The staff were helpful and attentive and the atmosphere was lovely! If you go here you will not be disappointed! Best Indian food I've ever had

Found this restaurant online whilst researching a weekend away and so glad we did it was excellent friendly knowledgeable staff and the food was amazing

We love the service, the warmth, the vibe of the place. Highly highly recommended. We love the taste of curries ( vegetable madras, Sizzlers, Dal tadka), soft garlic naan and papadoms with chutneys. Yum!

Quite simply THE BEST Indian restaurant in Tunbridge Wells. Fantastic food, fantastic service and a wonderful welcoming restaurant

Excellent food. Lovely menu. The best in Kent.

We ordered a takeaway 2 nights ago as a test to see how the food was It was delivered early and was piping hot The chicken dhansak was absolutely delicious Great size portion and chicken tikka was so fresh The chilli garlic chicken was equally as good Very impressed

Every time we visit from Somerset we visit the spice restaurant it’s a brilliant experience food so very good staff amazing!!! Highly recommend X

Delicious food served quickly. Staff were polite, friendly and professional. They could not do enough for us. Brilliant customer service!

What a great find ...awesome curry ..attentive staff nothing was too much trouble..

Great food and staff. Could not fault this restaurant. Lovely welcome. A must visit in tunbridge wells if you like Indian style food

The food was delicious and staff were very attentive - nothing was too much to ask. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and everything was superb! Thankyou!

People of Tunbridge who say this is the best in town obviously haven’t even had an average one . Came to pay the bill & the waiter ask how was everything ? I said it wasn’t very good and he took offence and stated to argue. I know a good one as I’m in the trade & my friend is one of the top Indian chef and have also worked with him. TW get yourselves a good authentic Indian restaurant please

We’ve just finished a delicious meal at The Spice. The food was great, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was top-notch with such efficient and attentive front of house team. One of our family isn’t as keen on Indian cuisine so they even kindly made them some less flavoured dishes. Thank you.

The Spice has been the "go to" Indian restaurant for myself and my friends for as long as I can remember. Always excellent.

Always lovely food,great atmosphere and the most loveliest hosts you could ever want

Fantastic service and amazing food

Amazing food. Recommend the taba. Great service!

Paid £58 and barely enough for three people. Pitiful portion sizes for the price. Food was mediocre, not bad. Have paid far less for far better quality and far more food.

The go-to place for Curry in tunbridge Wells! I've been going there for the last few years, and they have never disappointed. The food is amazing, and the service is quick and polite.

Good service, friendly atmosphere. Food is standard Indian

great and delicious food we went here for our anniversary and it was brilliant. we will be rushing to go back very soon. thank your for the great evening.

Delicious food and arrived quickly.

Very nice ..... Wish the would take over the indian in pembury

Never had a bad meal here, very nice staff and food 👌.

Never had a bad meal here, nice staff and food 👌. Staff are always friendly and have good knowledge of their menu, if you want to try something new. Food is always piping hot and cooked with real care and full of flavor.

Really nice place and lovely staff. Really clean place and smell really good. Only problem the food … was quite blend tbh. We took a curry and a kurma. Kinda was real sweet but was ok but the curry was random and blend. Naan was really good. Rice perfectly cooked. I am just disappointed the curry was watery and the chicken was so overcooked and dry. I want to try again tbh another dish to make sure it was a random mistake and i will update my rating. Otherwise the rating of this place would be different I would like to think.

Fully recommend, lovely food, great service

Lovely food. Lovely staff. A very enjoyable experience.

Excellent. A rare (very rare) 10/10. Everything spot on, including a waiter who offered and then delivered an explanation of all their speciality dishes, explaining exactly the ingredients, how the dish is cooked and its flavour type. After making our choices the lovely hot dinner plates arrived followed by two of the best Indian dishes I’ve ever eaten; fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared, no oiliness just lots of substance, layered spices and depth of flavour. Price was also very reasonable. This is a MUST try if you’re in the area.

food was not nice ,it was barley warm, tough meat and full of large peppers wont order again feel very let down as it was a valentines meal and had nice meals from there in the pastl

Nice food quick delivery .......

Longstanding and much loved local Indian restaurant. Newly redecorated, with upmarket furniture, crockery and cutlery. The food is very good, the ambience is great, the manager is charming and the staff efficient. Looking forward to another visit.

We visited this restaurant, having read some recent reviews! We are so glad we did….firstly, the Staff were super friendly & welcoming. The food was absolutely first class. We were only in the area overnight, and just wanted a decent meal! This is exactly what we got, and at a very reasonable price. If we ever find ourselves back here…we will definitely be back.

Food was delicious as always. Excellent food, very good value for money.

Can’t rate this place enough. The staff, especially Zaman was amazing and very attentive We wasn’t sure what to order so gave him our preferences and he then recommended the dishes for us which we all loved. Also a mention to Naz and Binyamin. A lovely cosy restaurant where nothing is too much trouble. Definitely recommend and worth a visit. We are already planning our next dining experience with them.

We met in The Spice with friends 6 of us. I can say it was a fantastic meal we all enjoyed the meal we all had something different & really enjoyed it The staff were very helpful in telling us the different dishes to choose I can highly recommend this very nice Restaurant Give it try you won't be disappointed!

Never had a bad meal delivered from here and have one almost every week 10/10...

Amazing food and service friendly inviting staff very reasonable prices will definatly be visiting again

Really disappointed,Chicken was very very bland no spice, salt, or any taste but tandoori chicken was good

Very average food and small portions. We went because of the reviews but very disappointed. Very friendly staff. Very average food and small portions. We went because of the reviews but very disappointed. Very friendly staff

The food and the delivery service were both perfect. Keep up the good work.

The food arrived cold! Second time this has happened now.

VERY NICE LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE

Great place for a curry, the waiter was really friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable. Food was tasty, best garlic naan!

Très bonne adresse. Accueil très chaleureux et carte proposant des bonnes spécialités. Nous avons goûté du poulet et du poisson dans les spécialités, le serveur nous a guidé dans notre choix pour le degré d épicés.c était parfait.

Very nice meal look forward to the next one ...

We headed here for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was busy, so we were pleased there was an available table for us with no waiting, The staff were all fantastic and knowledgeable about their menu and their customers tastes. Our waiter helped us make great choices which was no easy task as one of us is a meat eater and the other is vegetarian. We were both able to share everything except the rice dish where we both ordered our own. The food kept on coming and each mouthful was more delicious than the last. The welcome was warm and and friendly and we will return again when we visit the area. We walked back to our hotel a mile away with full tummies and happy hearts.

Best Indian food in Tunbridge wells, enough said

Really good food and atmosphere. Good selection and excellent service

Excellent curry place, best in Tunbridge Wells

Had a lovely meal a couple of days ago while on our visit to the town from the North east. Great friendly customer service especially as the restaurant was very busy.

Heerlijk gegeten. Goede uitleg en hulp bij het kiezen of samenstelling menu. Gezellige bediening. We komen terug. Aanrader!

Really disappointing tonight very watery and flavourless last two orders were amazing this wasn’t even average

We decided to take the 30 minute walk from our hotel despite having an indian just around the corner. This purely based on previous reviews and it didn't disapoint The staff are helpful and friendly, making recommendations based on new menu items to try. It tasted great, I highly recommend you try it!

Went here with three friends. Was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere. We had a great time.

Spice is always excellent. The staff are brilliant and the food fantastic.

Our group of 7 arrived early evening in the off-chance of getting a table. The restaurant staff could not have been more accommodating and found us the last table. Despite being early Monday evening the restaurant was already full and the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. Staff friendly, attentive and informative about our choices, without being overwhelming. All in our group agreed 100% that our meals were absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced. It's a shame we live on the south coast otherwise we would be regulars at 'The Spice'. Thoroughly recommend.

The food was exceptional and the service equally as good.

The food quality was exceptional, probably the best Indian food I have had in the UK. Quantities were also reasonable and the service first class.

Always a lovely experience. Great food. Super friendly service.

Very nice Indian restaurant,staff were very welcoming,we had a set meal very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious,very clean and highly recommended

Spot on consistantly great food ....

Friendly driver who found our hidden property easily. Great tasting, hot food

Excellent curry and fab service. Really enjoyed the night.

First time customer . Excellent service all round. Lovely tasting food. I will definitely order again.

My vindaloo was very bland the lamb naga was much hotter

Fantastic as always!! Food came early and was absolutely lovely as always!! Best Indian in town!!

Fantastic friendly service, great food would highly recommend.

Disappointed, called after waiting 2 hours for my delivery, to be told it would be arriving in next couple minutes. 9pm comes and still no delivery. No apology from the phone handler when calling to ask about the delivery either. Time to try a new restaurant that cares about customer service

We have been in Tunbridge Wells for nearly 5 years and we usually still went to our out of town Indian Restaurants. We decided to try The Spice on Friday the 21st July 2023. Just wow! We were really pleased. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Staff were so friendly and engaging. Made for a superb experience. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent service, we were not rushed at all, we were given ample time to sit and relax and chat between starter , main and desert

Love the spice but very disappointed tonight when my food wasn’t delivered and there was nobody answering the phone to speak to!!

What a lovely meal with a great team! Head over for a delicious curry!

Very nice as always . Not like others in the area that might be nice occassionally !!!

Went with friends and had an absolutely brilliant meal! We were well looked after and the service we received was excellent. All the dishes were delicious and cooked to perfection. Most highly recommended! Best local Indian meal we’ve had in ages in Tunbridge Wells

Chicken texture was like rubber, rice was clumpy. Poppadoms and pickle was nice though

Had to pen another review for this amazing curry house. Staff are amazing and food is quite simply the best around. Would be good to see some dish description on the menu. However staff are so helpful they will let you know if you ask.

Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent food quality and flavour, especially the billowy freshly cooked Peshwari Nan bread! Would go again.

En väldigt bra upplevelse. Vi åt en färdig meny för två. Väldigt prisvärd och god. Vi fick en starter, förrätt och två huvudrätter, varav den en var väldigt stark. Det var det vi ville ha. Mycket bra personal, så vi var väldigt nöjda.

Went there for a curry night with the football team. Such legends they’re so nice and welcoming even with our noise. Food was absolutely smashing as well.

Great food and service. Wish they'd take drinks order during and or after meal though. We would have had another round and also coffee and desserts but no one came to us.

Very Nice as usual would definately recommend !

Great food, great service. Best meal we’ve had in Tunbridge Wells.

Really nice meal would recommend .

We can see why it has a high rating. The food and service were exceptional. Google Maps led us to the wrong place but they explained where to find the restaurant

I went alone for the first time last night as my family have more bland tastes. I asked for a vegetarian recommendation and had the best Indian meal I've had in a long time, perhaps ever. The service was efficient and cheerful. I was there...
