The spice of India in Colchester

No.1 Indian takeaway in Colchester.. nowhere else lays a glove on their food. 5star Jalfrezi Chicken Balti Coconut rice Personal favourites here Enjoy!!

I have always been to Rim Jhim down the road. The last 2 takeaways were bad, so I thought I would try this place, Amazing 👏 my new takeaway spot :)

One of the best Indian takeaway over the Colchester.

Amazing food first time ordering will definitely be using again best curry i have had in a while thank you.

Very good chicken dish and excellent papadam. The rest was less so. Very little shrimp compensated by an excess of sauce. Nah a little too dry.

Outstanding! Every meal has been by far the best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The Spice of India is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant in town! The food is absolutely fantastic every time I order. From the flavorful curries to the perfectly cooked tandoori dishes, every bite is a delight to the taste buds. The spices are perfectly balanced, and the dishes are always fresh and delicious. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have a great take out experience. I highly recommend The Spice of India to anyone looking for authentic and mouthwatering Indian cuisine. This restaurant truly deserves five stars plus more! I hope this review captures your feelings about the restaurant! Best, Danny

That was first time from Spice of India ,not the last. The food was exceptional and the delivery driver as friendly . Thank you .

Their food very delicious and good I love it.

Very Well food and good service love this

Bad Food poisoning other people have had the same and then comments are removed. My partner ended up in hospital. Wouldn’t want anyone else to suffer from this

Had very bad food poisoning from this place and have reported them as my partner ended up on a drip in hospital thank good I can hold down sips of water otherwise I would be a lot worse.

Good sized portions but I had difficulty finding the prawns in my Prawn Biryani, Onion Bhaji was tasty, Nan bread very rubbery.

That was one of the best takeaway in colchester. The meal was so delicious & delivery driver was friendly.

Food was exceptionally good! We have eaten from most of the other indian takeaways in Colchester and this one is by far the best, No dry or bland food here!! Try the onion baji's! You won't be dis-appointed!

First time i have used spice of india, 3 people for home delivery. We ordered different items , one person vegetarian. It was a really good meal certainly reccomend .delivery was on time , driver polite., food delivered hot.

After recently moving to Colchester and having this establishment recommended to myself and my partner, we’re glad we listened. Arguably the best curry I’ve had in many years. The delivery driver was super friendly, the food arrived quickly and piping hot. Wasn’t the cheapest Indian takeaway I’ve ever ordered, but I’ll be returning as it’s well worth the money.

Regularly order from here. Amazing selection of vegan dishes which taste great.

Food delivered quick and very hot.. Beautiful meal.. Very friendly delivery driver. We will definitely be ordering again.

This place certainly has the best vegan Indian food in Colchester. Great selection for vegans and very tasty!

Food was lovely and hot , great delivery service , super fast delivery from the blonde lady 👍🏼

Got an Indian delivered , absolutely delicious , best Indian I have had in a long time , I understand they have a new chef ….. what can I say I will be ordering only from here from now on , even delivery driver lovely young lady delivered with a smile and fast

Another fabulous superb delivery, thanks for all xxx

I have recently moved to Colchester and only ordered 4/5 times from here but saying that I have been impressed with their food quality and service.

Ordered from here tonight. Very clean inside. The food was lush!! It was freshly cooked while we waited and the staff are very friendly there. It was still hot even after my 15 minute drive home. I cant do spicy food, im a wimp. The korma sauce was sweet and the chicken was tender and cooked to perfection. So full of flavour. Portions was huge, couldnt eat it all. Would defo recommend! Get ordering as a treat for the family and support our local business.

I believe this is the best curry in Colchester, highly recommend Lamb Achari and Lamb Biriany... curry lover must try.

On the whole it was a pleasant meal. The Lamb Tikka Methi could've been a touch stronger but was still good. The nan was very nice. The delivery was a little late but the staff and delivery tracking options were courteous and helpful.

Ordered via Deliveroo and it was the first time buying from Spice of India yesterday. Absolutely loved it and value for money. Vindaloo, pilau rice and keema nan. Best. Food. Ever. I will be back :)

A lovely Indian takeaway. The specialties are really good, but they also do well on all curry dishes. Naans are soft and nice. Rice is good in all forms.

Had my first meal from this takeaway today. Friendly staff and appeared clean however, My meal was a chicken dish and the chicken was extremely tough and the taste of grease overpowered the taste of the dish and an excessive amount of grease was also to be found in my side dish. I hope this was a one off.

Just had one of the best curries in years. Spice of India is top of my list now. Awesome Chicken Chat & Jalfrezi, lots of flavour and zero grease. This is not helping my diet! 😎

Honestly can not rate this place enough, I have tried all the Indian takeaways in colchester and I mean all 😅, and this is by far the best, customer service, food quality and size is great 👍🏻

Food is always tasty, fresh and vegan options for most dishes, with option of plant based meats and naan! Love thia place.

Okay, so full disclosure, I'm mostly vegan. So I may be a bit bias because this take out caters to my dietary requirements. But honestly I used to be a carnivore and a curry lover beforehand. The curry is excellent, the sides are excellent, the food is pretty much the nicest take out in Colchester. So that just leaves the service... I'd like to tell you a story of the service we had tonight and you can make your own mind up... After a very long day a pretty tired and worn down couple sits down on the sofa and decides they have no energy to cook. They settle on a curry and go online to Thier favourite Indian take out, they order themselves a chicken tikka, a load of starters, some sides, some rice, some naan and sit back and wait. The take out driver (Paul) arrives with a smile and is extremely well mannered and pleasant. We take our order inside and unpack our food.. it was all there, but there was no curry. In our tiredness we had ordered a vegan chicken tikka main, not realising this wasn't the chicken tikka masala we expected. We called and asked what happened and was advised that we had ordered the wrong thing (it's never easy telling someone they messed up, but I was not insulted or offended, just advised I got what I had ordered). Then despite it being my fault the kind person on the end of the phone agreed to send me a vegan tikka masala free of charge. Once we finished our starters Paul knocks back on the door and gives us our complimentary tikka masala. He gives us a big smile and tells us it's complimentary.. Now let's be clear about this. The error was ours, we were tired, we didn't push for a free curry, this was just the service they gave us as they value our custom. Cannot commend this place enough.

Has some delicious biryanis. The taste was 10 out of 10!

First time using them after our usual Indian takeaway closed. The food was incredible and the huge selection of vegan options is fantastic to see. Highly recommended!

Have been using another very good takaway in Colchester for years as have my family, started using this takaway in the beginning for convenience as its much closer to me only 2 miles away and also my daughters have been using for long time and recommended this takaway, i have to say this place is really 100% spot on, and the portions well for someone like me who has a big appetite they are really generous and large, find myself as yet never eating everything in one go always have to finish the next day, im very fussy with my takaway food very hard to please but this place in my opinion is 10/10

Started using this place 2 years ago as the last takaway was to far for me to keep driving to after moving home, and also my daughters had been using for last few years and had recommended also, im fussy with my food but my personal opinion is that this place is as good as it gets, they combine very good tasty food with really generous portions, ive never managed to eat everything in one go yet always end up finishing the next day and im big eater, very impressed with the spice of India and would not eat anywhere else now

Very nice family run business. Very relaxed slow paced service so you can surely relax whilst enjoying your meal xx perfect food would definitely come back soon.

Great customer service, not 100% happy with the food that was delivered. Manager offered another pick from the menu as an apology. Absolutely brilliant for a company to put their customers first, will definitely be ordering again.

the food here is always delicious! the vegan options are incredible! definitely recommend ordering from here! we've ordered through just eat and the website direct, and delivery was fine, they keep you updated :)

Very fresh food and excellent service 👌

Really good India food, friendly staff and i really enjoyed there veggie samosas. Thank you very the spice of India.

Overdue providing a review to The Spice of India as I've ordered a few takeaways now! Can't rate it high enough, the food is delicious, arrives hot and tastes fresh and flavoursome. Really is the best curry house by a country mile in the area.

Great food, great service, great vegan menu. Will be back

Delayed our order twice and didn’t arrive for 2 hours after the requested delivery time. Didn’t pick up the phone on the several times we called throughout. Won’t be ordering there again and urge others not to either.

Decent value, standard takeaway

Great curry house - I've been visiting here for longer than I care to admit. Can take a while for your food to come out, but it is worth the wait. Order online for 15% off

First time I have used this Indian takeaway and got to say it was faultless. Great tasting, large helpings, delivered hot and in good time. Well done. Thoroughly recommend.

The best Indian around, quick and friendly service, great menu choice and the vegan korma was so tasty. I fully recommend.

First time at Spice of India, best one I've had, highly recommended

Good food and reasonably priced.

I don’t often eat out but can honestly say there chicken tandoori and their veg curries and nan are delicious, staff are friendly and food portions are of a good size. Try it for yourself. You won’t regret it.

I am from Indonesia and regularly visiting sister in law in Colchester. And during that time, we always come this place for some take aways. They are so generous in portion, delicious, fast service, and just a 5 minutes walk from home.. always happy to coming back to this place..

Order delivered incomplete so delay in receiving main dish ..then unfortunately the madras resembled a bowl of oil with 5 small ‘bits’ of meat ..direct trip to the toilet then followed !

Best curry I’ve had in ages will definitely be going back again

Love this place. Been using it for years! Service is always good; very polite and helpful. Food always delicious too.

Worst place to order your food they didn't even deliver our food we was waiting for an hour they waste of time. Never going to order from them again, they dont have respect for their customer

Meal was lovely ,plenty of lamb , and curry had good flavour Delivery was on time and was very polite

3 starters, 3 mains, 3 nan breads, 3 rice and chips and a side order of Bombay potatoes for less than £60 was a good price. Delivered on time and still hot. The chicken tikka chilli was intensive hot and excellent as well, could demolish a right plate full of that. The masala dish was just right in terms of spice and effect. The archari was really good. The pillau rice was very nice slightly different in terms of taste and very big portions as well. Would certainly recommend this place on what we had ordered

Great food everytime. Highly recommended

Food is just fantastic. It actually tastes the way it is meant too. :)

Just delicious! Will definitely order from here again

A place of glorious tastes! Love the butter chicken, but it's so delicious that I mustn't go very often - I'm sure there must be a lot of sugar in that dish. My husband loves the hotter curries here too.

Having had a couple of bad experiences with Indian we tentatively tried the Spice of India and loved it. We have had 4 now, each of the last 4 Sunday's, and we get exactly what we order and what's more, it's piping hot.

WORST CURRY IVE EVER HAD. Ordered the Tiger prawn special they do and it was awful. Not one tiger prawn was more like a prawn cocktail. Greasy also. Rang to complain and was told they were 'special' tiger prawns that they used especially fr curry hahahah unreal!!! Told me he was chef and knew best. Place is a joke go if you dare.

Very poor service.... ordered via just eat, to get a call from Just Eating saying that the order didn’t go through. So we phoned Spice of India to confirm the order at 1900. They confirmed that they had the order and the food would be with us in 1hour (20:00) At 20:10 still no food. So we phoned them only to be told that they didn’t have the order. At this point we are rather hungry and now HANGRY. We wasn’t going to wait for another hour in the hope they may cook our food. Don’t think we will try Spice of India again....

Best Indian takeaway we have had in a very long time. We used this place for the first time and we will be using it again for sure

Love love love this place best takeaway curry in colchester

I bought a lamb Rogan josh. I had 6 small pieces of meat in it. This curry costs just under £ 10.I went back into there and he was rude saying meat is expensive. I said not 6 small pieces of meat that you have me. He said do you want something I asked how much meat he said 6 pieces. I said not for that money it doesn't cost that much. He said in not so many words to leave.

They dilivered to the wrong house and When I rang up to say about this they were then very rude to me and started to shout And called me a liar. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

My curry average but my partners Purple Tiger curry supposedly with Tiger prawns had no such thing. They were tiny prawns and on ringing up i was told they were and i needed to ask for king prawns. Smallest tiger prawns ive seen in my life lol shame i cant post a pic lol. Wont go back.

Really lovely food, tastes fresh & you can taste the spices rather than just the sweetness in the masala. Popadoms are fab, best Indian locally except for 2 things;Onion bhajis are very greasy & they no longer offer any set menus to take away. Disappointing as this makes choosing/ordering easy.Friendly staff, delivery can be take a long time in busy periods so call early.

Very good takeaway Food is amazing. Friendly staff. Would be 5 star but waiting area is a mess.

A good takeaway with reasonable prices.

Hands down the best takeaway I have ever had. Also my girlfriend and I have specific dietary requirements and they are all always more than helpful, couldn't ask for better service. Big up Spice of India

Our regular Indian takeaway. An amazingly good value £10 cash only meal for one (but easily enough for two!) includes curry, rice, naan and bombay aloo plus a poppadom.

Just finished THE BEST jalfrezi I have ever had. Very much looking forward to ordering from here again!

My Son and his family live close by..so we all had Indian food.for a change..Madras was hot enough for me..womenfolk had Korma..son went for Vindaloo..all enjoyed our food..I love the poppadoms with chutney and onion salad.

Just had a pretty good Indian meal delivered very quickly. The Vindaloo dish was a bit watery but very well flavoured. Would be happy to recommend and would certainly use The Spice of India again.

Always happy with our meal and service. We use this take away service regularly. Would highly recommend.

Take away was good and at good price

We order from here whenever we want a curry because it's tasty, fresh and we've never had a bad one yet - bhajis could be better but the rest is the best around here.

Currently the best in Colchester! Who ever the chef is spot on keep him!Great flavours not over done and doesn't give stomach ache the next day! Great food every time £10 meal deal bargin from a Bengali as well so we no what good curry is!

Excellent food, quick delivery, and well priced. Well worth using.

Nice food with great customer service...most importantly i dont need to spend a lot..:)..we will try again..

I am really happy with my food. I have ordered tandoori chicken, pilau rice, rogan josh, lamb Vindaloo and Tarka dal. We are really enjoying our food together. Vindaloo is really spicyy yummmy

Fantastic service. Smartly delivered. Very good and delicious food. I was lucky that I went to that place to buy my take away. I'm impressed. Thanks Spice of India. I will be back again.

Not good food. Will never use again.
