The Spice Room in Rossendale

Below average for me. Lots of sauce and not much else. Waiter came across a bit like he would rather serve someone else, awkward hard work. Korma tasted like it had a lb. of sugar in it. Not like i have eaten anywhere else. Poor value for money, will not go back.

having been to Abdullah's quite a few times and finding it reasonable, mainly thanks to a member of staff there who is very cheerful and bubbly, (Millie) but the last few occasions me and friends have been for a meal, we found it to be totally different, the pompadoms was not fresh they could be rolled up and no snap with them, the shish kababs was more in line with sawdust than meat, on this visit tonight to give it one last chance, all I can say is yes we know cost of living is hitting everyone, but the keema dish I had had more potato and pea's in, and by saying more I'm talking three quarters of the dish really was potato and pea's, I have never seen the many pea's in the dish or potatoes', normally around 3 or 4 potatoes in but tonight we are talking 8 or 9 big chunks, and a sea of pea's, I have used less pea's in a pea and ham soup for 20. It really could have been put on the menu as a vegetarian dish and got away with it, sad to say they will not see my custom there again, twice bitten three time shy, I will not waste money like that again, and i can only say to people it is your choice if you go there and risk it, but me and my friends have decided the a nice fish and chip shop will do fine, at least you know what you are getting there and can see it being prepared for you, best wishes to MillIe who is too good for that place. sorry folks but getting fed up of even talking about this place.

Very disappointed by our visit. We decided to visit here instead of our usual curry house because they had recently won an award and it is our nearest restaurant. We pre-booked a table for 7pm as it was Saturday night instead of just turning up. Our drinks order was taken before we had even taken our coats off to sit down & we hadn’t even looked at the menu to see what drinks there were! We then waited 20 minutes until our food order was taken. A couple walked in and sat at the table next to us & they were obviously regulars as the waiters came over and talked to them, addressing them by their names and their order was taken immediately. Our starters arrived at just before 8pm & we were starving so they only lasted 5 minutes. I have to say that the onion bhajis (4) were amazing - they weren’t greasy or heavy. The pakoras were some of the nicest I’d eaten but there were only 2 & they were very small. The main courses of the regular couple arrived shortly after our starters & they had virtually finished their meal by the time our mains arrived. The food was nice and there was a lot of it. Can’t complain about the quality of the food at all - the meat was tender and for the price it was good value. Our plates were taken away & we then waited ages before anyone came over to ask if we wanted anything else. It was heading up to 9pm before we got our bill - I have never spent so long in an Indian restaurant! When we received the bill it did seem rather expensive - when we added up the amounts of the individual dishes and drinks we had been overcharged by around £10. My partner took the bill back to the bar & it was recalculated correctly. So, all in all… the food was nice but the service wasn’t what we’d expect from an award winning restaurant. On top of that, to be overcharged… very disappointing & as a result we wouldn’t visit again and would rather drive further afield to a restaurant with better service.

Food was absolutely delicious, nothing of the meal could be faulted Staff were also lovely and very helpful Was also able to ask for a curry in a less spicy option

saw the review of this restaurant on fb saying it has won the lancs best restaurant ,and wanted to visit seeing all the good reviews ,rang to book a table for 4 as we have visitors from Australia, asked about the set menu adding if we wanted we could swap some dishes if we wanted to even if we had to pay more and was assured we could. Lovely place and decent ambience when we were ready to order stated we wanted to change some dishes but was told we could not do that even after being told we could, the starters were very good and we all enjoyed them but when the mains came they were tepid and cold and the curries were some of the worst we have ever had they took some of the dishes away and microwaved them i complained but no body seemed bothered need less to say after looking forward to this experience and being treated the way we will NEVER set foot in this place again and how this has been voted eastlancs best is totally beyond me

Visited with family after someone recommended it to us. Had big expectations. Ordered drinks, I'd asked for a dry white wine but was given a sweet wine. I asked for them to swap it for a gin instead which they did and no charge for the wine. Starters came, which we all enjoyed. Chicken pakora was beautiful with light crispy batter, one if the best I've tasted. For mains I opted for lamb tikka with a side of curry sauce. Sadly the lamb was so chewy I couldn't eat it. Paid for the meal and was given the usual steaming hot wipes, complimentary chocolate and baileys. I may go again but order a different main.

Booked for Saturday 6pm...received a confirmation by e mail at 1 am which they should look at as could be easily missed. However...sat down ,had an extremely passable pint of Madri. Ordered food which came relatively promptly. Popadums ,Chutney and then 2 curry dishes...all very good and pleasantly served. Great idea also to allow people to pop in just for a drink as there are v few pubs in the area. Well done all...will be back.

Rang for a takeaway tonight from Abdullahs at 7.15pm. Was told delivery 8 till quarter past. Rang back at 8.25pm as meal hadn't turned up. Got lied to on the phone,'It's on its way'. Curry was remade and delivered at 8.50pm. Rice was cold. Hottest chicken madras and chicken rogan josh we've ever tasted, threw most of it. Thanks for nothing Abdullahs.

I ordered takeaway from here and the food was delicious, it tasted really fresh and flavoursome, the delivery was really quick. I will definitely order again xxx

Ordered takeaway. having not used Abdullahs for a while, it’s fair to say the food was of a reasonable standard. Ordered 2x Tandoori main meals was shocked at the £27.70 price tag. In comparison to other takeaways in the area this is very expensive, for the same food and same standard.

Absolutely fantastic food, great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and attentive. Will be back for a meal very soon!

I have just been to this restaurant and may i say it was a brilliant evening serving excellent food and great hospitality. My first visit was 3 and a half years ago and it was good then but its excellent now i had a lamb chop curry and my partner had a dahnsak both excellent dishes. And with 2 complimentary brandys after the meal and a loyalty card with 5 pounds off our next visit. We will definitely be visiting again 5 stars for me

We have been here many times and we have always loved it. We have never had any reason for complaint except for tonight.. First of all it wasn't very warm in there tonight but a couple who had had their meal gave us their seats next to the radiators. We ordered drinks then we ordered our meals.. The waiters were quite pushy and we weren't in any rush. We said can you give us 5 minutes. They didn't come back to us for about 20 mins which was fine.but when we got our meal it was quite luke warm. We were talking to another couple so we didn't complain at the time. When we were paying we told the waiters but they just said sorry So disappointed as we usually love this place.

Always good food and has always been delivered before time stated , must get in to eat at the restaurant at some point.

Just been for a lovely meal with family for Mothersday, what can I say it was amazing. The food was so lovely and portions so big. The staff so welcoming and service really good too. I couldn't believe it wasn't booked up, obviously not many people know about this lovely place. Really enjoyed it, will definitely return.

Very disappointing, ordered through just eat, 1.5 hours later (30 mins late) on a Wednesday evening and food cold upon arrival. Will not be ordering again, stay away

Myself and my husband go here quite often. It is an excellent restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious. It has a great atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable

Felt the need to write this review as we have dined on most Indian restaurants on Lancashire over the years ha ha 😂 well our neighbour recommended abdullahs so we booked Saturday night. The staff greeted us with smiles and very genuine. Service was fantastic...

Takeaways from here kept us going over lockdown and we enjoy regular visits now. Friendly staff, faultless food and a lovely all round experience means we wouldn’t go anywhere else for our curry fix.

The best Indian around for both eating in and takeaway! Can’t recommend enough and the service is always spot on.

Really good authentic Indian food at a decent price, definitely value for money. The restaurant was nice & clean, fairly modern and spacious although the table was a little small. Staff were really friendly and when we settled the bill, a gentleman offered us a...

So far we have had two takeaway's from here and the food is a taste sensation, we can hardly wait to book in for a visit, reasonably priced to compared to other places. You won't regret ordering.

Absolutely fab. Blown us away. The owner abdul is a lovely man, who has alot of passion when it comes to his customers. Alway looking after their well being. Travel quiet far for my meal as its right on the motorway junction, so ideal. Prefer...

Absolutely delicious. Hot and fresh. Very impressed

Good quality food Nice Tarka dhall and chapatis

It’s been over 3 hours since I ordered & still no food. Rang over an hour ago to be told it would be here within 30 mins. Still waiting...

Food was delicious as usual. However it was 2 hours late. I get it’s new year but don’t take so many orders. And apologise when contacted. Ridiculous service tonight. We are regulars and order once a week. Will never order again!

Good food again, quick efficient delivery. Definitely recommend.

Absolute 10/10! Get the set meal for 2 amazing taste of everything shish kebab, bahji, curries lots of food left for the next day!!

Great food, great service - best Indian food in the area

Shocked that a child under 16 came to my door to deliver my takeaway... child exploration!

Lovely food, starter was amazing and all food was pipping hot

Amazing food as always. I would go as far to say the best around for Indian takeaway. Cooked to perfection, full of flavour, hot on delivery.... what more could you want?

Not a very good curry no flavour and not many chicken pieces. And they for got to bring my rice till I rang up and had to wait another 40 mins for them to bring

Excellent all round. Thank you

Hour wait time but that was clearly communicated and the food was lovely! Delivery driver really friendly too!

I love the taste of the madras. I thought the lamb chops were expensive but tasty. The poppadom's were thicker than usual and really good

Order from here regularly and have visited the restaurant a number of times. Always very good, that's why I order time and again.

I asked for chips instead of prawns in my curry & did not get any, I normally do because I pay for a meat curry & just have a sauce :(. I also asked for no mango & 2 onion chutney & that was ignored :(. I did how ever thouroughly enjoy my food, it was delicious

Arrived 45 mins late with item missing bullshitted by guy on phone who kept saying food on way food was cold on arrival

Food was lovely nice and tasty will definitely be ordering again 😊

Food was everything i wanted it to be..when you think of a indian Take-away and a night in this is what your imagination is thinking of! Will 100% be ordering again. 👌

Everything was hot and delicious

Ordered several times and I always have something slightly off menu (a plain curry sauce instead of a bhuna) and every time they delivery it without fail and it's to die for! Amazing food! Delivery is always prompt. You will not go wrong ordering here.

Ordered for 8pm for a reason and came 40 minutes early, so into the oven it had to go. Food is generous quantity. Ordered biriyani and it was different from the last time, no egg and no sultanas. Can't say I care for the sultanas, but the egg was missed. Tasty food otherwise though.

Great service, food and delivery 👌 always the yummiest food 😋

Kebabs are to die for!! Amazing quality food worth waiting for. Usually quick with delivery too.

Food was only ten minutes late but when it got here chips where missing and starter platter luke warm to cold. I rang and asked if they could send a new starter platter and chips. They re sent all the order in quick time and it was super hot. Thank you so much in correcting the error it is so appreciated. I always order from here. Normally its great. First experience where food has been missing and they corrected it straight away. Thank you

The chicken tikka was cold and the Coca-Cola was hot I was happy with the chicken tikka masala and the naan bread and the poppadum thank you

The Fish Masala was beautiful with Salmon Fry as side order

Excellent food, service and good value for money.

Very tasty, hot and on time. Recommended.

Ordered set meal for two with Chicken Korma and a Tikka Masala. Absolutely beautiful.... like bringing restaurant experience home. Selection of 5 dips with the poppadoms. Korma and Tikka Masala both excellent. Real full bodied taste .. korma beautifully fruity and tikka very rich and smokey flavour. Everything packaged and presented perfectly. Meal for 2 was more than enough for two adults. A hungry teenager and a 9 yr old. Thank you.

Everything was full of big chunks of tomatoes, no flavour at all and the chips tasted stale...yuk... they went into the bin, not as to the standards I remember when ordered last year... Very disappointed, will be looking elsewhere next time...

Great food and excellent potion size

Always on time and food to a good standard.

Naan breads are massive! Good quality food for the money you pay, will deffo be ordering again!!

Delicious chicken korma, one of the best I have ever eaten. Very impressed and will be ordering again. Came early and was lovely and warm! Thank you.

Nice tasty meal, delivered nice and hot and on time.

Food was hot meat was succulent thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

One of the best takeaway meals on be had in years, ours was completely vegi and very good, highly recommend

Delivery arrived nearly half a hour after specified time even though received an email stating food was on way 40 mins earlier , rang restaurant and they were apologetic and it wasn't a major problem, main problem was we ordered a lamb madras and received a chicken one which spoiled the meal as one person didn't like chicken. However all the food was excellent and despite this I will be using again as I appreciate they were busy

Have ordered previously, always fantastic food.

Just had a curry delivered from the spice rooms Absolutely spot on. 2 starters main meal with rice chips and chapatis all delivered for £17 well impressed. Delivery driver knocked on door and stood at his car. Why haven’t we ordered from there before. Defo...

Nice food averagely priced, however can get cold while your waiting for your food. Make sure you bring a coat.

We have just had our 2nd Christmas Day meal at the Spice Room and it did not let us down. The food and the service was excellent. I’m pretty sure we will be there next year. Thank you Pat .

The food itself, the service, the price and catering for allergies was good. However when the waiter came to take our plates away, he slowly ran the back of his hand down my chest to grab the plate. It did not feel like an accident...

Called in here on the off chance it was OK as we were driving past. It was much better than OK, it was really lovely! Husband had the exotic garlic masala, wish I'd had it too although my palok was very nice. It serves the...

Never had food from here, have driven past a million times though. Got a takeaway from here as had friends round,and one couldn't recommend enough. I've got to say was a lot better then what I thought was gonna be, I had the lamb handi,...

First thing we noticed was how cold the restaurant was, second thing was food splattered on the wall next to our table. Both easy fixes, service was top notch and food was delicious. Just need to up their game a little on these easy fixes.

Excellent from start to finish. Came here for a 30th birthday and had a great time. The staff were friendly and efficient and did everything to make the evening go well. The food arrived swiftly and was very tasty. Definitely coming here again.

We like to think we are regulars. The party of 4 often visit at other times, we live local. The service, menu & food is 5***** Pleased to say all our meal on this occation were all different & we were all delighted on the...

Really watery and lacking in flavour.

Hottest Vindaloo I’ve ever had! 😰 Spot on!

Not as good as previous meals but still nice. Thank you again for a lovely meal!

Never had a bad meal from here and always polite.

Excellent tasty food, still hot even though it had travelled 5+ miles. Delivery driver was polite even though it was stormy out so he was drenched!

Excellent service would use again food really good would definitely recommend

Excellent, large portions, still hot- just found out new Indian!

The food was absolutely fabulous we are definitely ordering from them again .we ordered a bottle wine (Chardonnay) as well but was disappointed to be given very warm chilean wine instead . 10/10 for the food but the wine let the side down

Lovely tasty food, was really piping hot, delivered early by a very polite man, would definitely order again, and will eat at the restaurant in the future.

Fantastic food and cannot complain about it being a little late. 10/10 best Indian I've had in ages!! Lovely staff and even better food Thank you!

Food was great, recommend the room naan! although it was little bit late i wasn't too bothered as they rang me and they even sent me a free beer to compensate 😋👍🏻

Amazing food! Everything was piping hot which was perfect and the food was delivered early which is also a bonus, this is such an amazing restaurant.

Very very good. Food was reasonably priced and quick service. One mistake was I didn't order rice/ shame this wasn't flagged up or noticed and many takeaways include this anyway. Overall nice food

Food came out quickly service was great the food was good it we got 3 separate curry’s and it was cheaper than we thought it was good place to go for a family meal or just with friends

Food was very nice service was great would definitely recommend and would order from here again

The service and food were both excellent- would recommend :)

Very good will definitely order again.

Order was about 25 minutes late but they'd put on that they'd delivered it but hadn't, food was very nice but the garlic naan was quite hard? also, wasn't much chicken in the tikka masala. Other than that it was good. Will order again 😇
