The Spice Island in Darlington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Meal to celebrate new job, attentive from walking through the door from Mo. Food was lovely, definitely be back and mo keep being you!

We ordered for the first time - we don't like things too chilli hot. The Tandoori chicken was delicious and hot. The chips are crispy, hot, and freshly cooked. A good portion size too. The Hallim Massala was a pleasant surprise, so tasty, more spicy with flavour than chilli hot, and the meat used was chicken Tikka. Overall, well packaged, great portion sizes and delivery was on time. Will order again.

Food was so delicious and good portion size. Staff have lovely manners and good price for food highly recommend

Ordered food told 1.5 hours after complaining at 2.5 and again at 4 hours of waiting they turned the phones off used them for years but never again shocking service

Spice island - I order 2 wrap meal deals 1 chicken tikka masala, pilau rice and a extra plain naan I was told it would take 1 hour and 30 minutes this was fine, we waited over 2 hours and when it arrived the food was cold and we had no sauce with our wraps and there was a missing naan bread for the kids also no cans of pop. We phoned up, the man on the phone said there’s no point sending your missing items we can have half price next time but obviously after this experience we won’t be returning. After reading so many great reviews we were looking forward to trying it but tbh it was a let down the food was bland and tasteless possibly the worst Indian food I’ve ever experienced and the service was just as bad. I just wish I stuck with my usual Indian takeaway little India which never fails. It cost me £35 for 2 wraps 1 chicken tikka masala 2 bags of chips 1 pilau rice and popadoms. When I’ve went on the menu and added up the price of the food excluding the wraps it came upto £16.40 meaning I’ve paid almost £10 each for the wraps alone. Sorry guys but this completely ruined my night and I will never be returning big thumbs down from me.

We always get our curry from spice island as we live 5 minutes away. Today’s we ordered from there and it was £31 but I think we have chucked £20 in the bin. The chicken was all gristle and my daughter heaved on a lump of something that tasted like soap. I think from now on I will look elsewhere for a curry as that was a complete waste of money which is disappointing as normally the food is good.

First class service and food 9 meals ordered and everyone enjoyed there’s all hot and tasty can’t fault it.

Waited 3 hours for our delivery which said it would take an hour. Rung up after an hour and they said the food was on its way. Rung up after another hour and they said the food was still sat there. Said it would definitely be with us in the next 10 minutes, 30 minutes later and still no sign. So after 3 hours and 30 minutes we rung up and cancelled and asked for a refund. Possibly the work customer service I have ever experienced. We told them atleast 6 times what our address was and they were still clueless.

It had been a while since I'd ordered takeaway curry .. I was under the impression that spice island was a quality eating emporium .. but the portions were under- whelming .. and the quality not up to par

Ordered 2 meals for take away. Tikka was delicious but butter chicken horrible. All food was cold except the rice. Nan breads felt as if they had come out of the fridge. Won’t be ordering from here again

Brilliant madras extras popadom, salad included in the price. Rice onion, lemon and pilau good onion bhajis great.

The best take away in Darlington tried it for the first time what a place to get your takeaway from fast service the best for your price get there....

Ordered a meal at 17:10 and promised delivery at 18:40. Decided we would wait an hour and a half for our meal. Then at 18:37 they phone to say they can't deliver until after 21:00. Why didn't you tell me this at 17:10. I've been a regular customer here for years...... NOT ANY MORE.

Tried here for the 1st time tonight and it certainly wont be the last , lovely portion size+ full of flavour and bonus there was 20% off so Happy days .

Great food, great price, great staff We have been using this take away for over 10 years and have never been disappointed highly recommended

We get a takeaway from Spice Island on a regular basis. I like mine quite spicy while my wife prefers a mild curry.I chose a chicken Jalfrezi and my wife her chicken Korma we chose garlic rice and a pilau rice with 2 naan breads the price was just short of £25 which I think is a little expensive for a takeaway. I rang in the order was told it would be 40 minutes and it arrived in 30. In with our order was complimentary Bombay potatoes, salad and popadoms.Both our meals were hot and tasty and with the extras were more than enough, in fact we probably could have made 1 meal stretch to the 2 of us. 1st rate as usual!

had a takeaway my husband had a meat Vindaloo which blow his socks off glad he ordered Riata lol, rice cooked just right i had king prawn madras keema nan ordered for delivery and came in no time at all with salad popadoms and sauce great little takeaway would deffinately buy from again

Probado este lugar para un cambio de mi regular, siempre peligroso, quédate con lo que sabe y confianza.La comida no estaba mal, un montón de gente de este lugar, pero cayó en sabor y calidad y sobre todo precio comparado a mis otros para llevar elección.Dos porciones de carne samosa, muy pequeño, una especie de salsa de naranja y bastante aburrido pollo Rogan Josh, £18! Pago 14 libras en mi otra opción a menos de una milla de distancia en Cockerton y para mí es mucho más sabroso. Tal vez para el curry connisuer los platos más macho de Excel, pero como curry ligero este no hizo nada para mi paladar. Cada uno a su propia, me quedaré con con lo que yo sé, pero chicos, sus precios son altos en comparación a otros y he recogido!

Tasty curry takeaway, just how I like it and delivered to the minute of the time stated. Very efficient service, friendly delivery man and hot tasty food .... a winning combination. ..

Interesting reception area to the normal waiting areas in take always. Quality proven menu, great variety and reasonably priced.Welcoming staff always cheerful and a free box of After Eights to boot.A great favourite.

Si visita Darlington y te gusta la comida india, esta joya escondida vale la pena tratar de encontrar. Tuvimos que mirar un poco, pero tan contenta de haberlo hecho. El menú ofrece platos indios nosotros nunca habíamos escuchado antes, así que probé. Excepcional! No podría recomendar Spice Island más! Magnífica comida, servicio atento e informativo.

mejores Madrás que he tenido que síntomas de abstinencia si no he tenido por unas pocas semanas, buen servicio y pronta entrega también muy amable por teléfono muy recomendado

Always impressive food from here. Delivery can take a while but the food is excellent and good value
