The Spicetree in Leicester

I've been to the spice tree a few times over the past couple of months. Great food and atmosphere. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Good value for money and would definitely recommend whether out with friends or family.

Came here as a family of four. Great starters and mains. Salted Laasi just how I like it. Naan surprisingly fresh and easy to break. We had the Manchurian and sillzer for starters. Top stuff keep it up. Will be back.

The food is excellent and tastes amazing it's the best food I've had at a restaurant Definitely would say that it's one of the best in Leicester

Tuvimos una comida agradable en el Spicetree, no tienen ninguno de los problemas de servicio que los revisores anteriores experiencias, aunque fuimos una noche de sábado a las 7pm, había dos grandes grupos en cuando fuimos a comer. La comida era muy sabrosa la única pequeña pega que me gustaría hacer es que los platos principales eran realmente tomate que podrían haber hecho con más pollo por mi marido y por la mía. paneer

Went out for a family meal, straight away our table was wrong as we asked for a table of 10 !!!!. Starters got sent back as were cold in the end we had enough Left early, won't be coming back here again

The food is really good at Spicetree. The best thing about it is that the kitchen is separated into Vegetarian and non-vegetarian cooking areas (which I think vegetarians really appreciate) Service is quick and friendly. Worth a visit.

I loved it. This was my first time with my family and we all loved it. Specially sizzler mix was very tasty and fresh. I would for sure go again with my family.

Hemos visitado este restaurante en 2 ocasiones.

Bien, así que esto transformado en un pub, que se encarga de carne y diners vegetarianos.

me and my family of six went to spicetree to celebrate my birthday. we had been here before, and had been very impressed with the food however service was appaling. we decided to try this place out again as i had found that it was running under new management. the service was fantastic along with the amazing food which hasnt changed since the last visit. very impressed and will visit again soon :)

This restaurant has definitely got it right ..!!!It's a must for you to visit.!!Great service and awesome food.!! You can see the food being prepared in front of you.It's fresh its wholesome pure Indian food the way it's meant to be.

Food was amazing ;ambience not good ,layout of seating area not good There was a pre arranged party booking we were not told about it when I made the reservation for my party . One waiter trying to cope with everyone Will not go again

My partner and I have been to this restaurant abot four times in last two years. We have experienced poor service each time but the food has always won us round. They have always cooked the best methi lamb in Leicester. Returning this evening we placed our order with the waitress, having to repeat ourselves several times. Starters arrived and i can really recommend the lamb chops.... Delicious. After a short time my partners main meal arrived with our shared nan bread and rice. Not wanting his food to get cold I said go ahead and start. Well I tried for quite a while to attract the attention of waiting staff as it became very apparent my own meal wasn't going to arrive. Once I did get the waiter's attention he was extremely apologetic and said he would get my meal as soon as he could. My meal arrived as my partner had finished his meal with a fresh nan. Unfortunately the rice had gone cold. On pointing this out the waiter said he would get some fresh. This he did but I had mostly eaten my main meal by then as my partner lookedon. My meal was certainly not methi lamb. On pointing this out the waiter said it had been cooked in a rush! So disappointing. The waiter was continually apologetic offering a free pudding or a drink, even another methi dish to take home. However all we wanted was to eat a meal TOGETHER and to have the food we had ordered. I'm sure this review will not affect business at all as the place is always busy. The price of my extremely late and wrong main meal was not included in the bill but our enjoyment of the evening was affected and we will not return.

Four of us went to the Spicetree restaurant recently. Although the service was excellent , the main course was very ordinary. We ordered four different mains, and all four had exactly the same sauce, with the difference of heat.m it was a disappointing night.

Visited The SpiceTree, Cathrine Street, Leicester, LE4 6GA on Saturday 13th December for a 730pm booking and travelled 34 miles for this meal and meet family who had travelled from London.The booking was five adults and three children aged 2-6 years old, this information given a week before.As we arrived we were told they didn’t have our booking, we were then sat at the entrance of the restaurant by the door, where customers kept arriving and leaving. The table area we were allocated was by the front door so the cold wind kept blowing towards us and our poor children!The heater above the door was asked to be switched on several occasions, which was finally done on the third attempt to combat the cold.The table was also situated by the toilets so we could smell the stench of urine from the toilets.The waiter took 40 minutes to come over and take our order after the serving of drinks; the food menu does not cater for children so it was a case of chips and plain naan. The chef would not cook un- marinated chicken for the children.The children’s food came in two phases and missing items, the chicken was to spicy for them. A late bowl of chips came as the kids ate dry naan!My wife’s lamb Madras hot, came bland and the meat was tough, the mix meat sizzler was 90% chicken (not a mix)The chilli paneer never arrived; another mix grill was confused for a paneer/mogo/chips combination of utter excrement.The above dish was replaced midway through the meal with the mix meat sizzler, which was not a mix.The condiments arrived again midway through the meal; I then walked to the cooking counter to obtain my yogurt and fresh chillies, which had been requested twice.The waiter seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and was rude and abrupt understandable as they were so busy and he couldn’t cope he was heard arguing with other staff.After this so called meal we asked for the manager. The manager who looked old enough to be at High School decided instead of listening to our concerns it would be better to argue and be rude and blame the cooks! She had more attitude then an alligator on speed.Our complaint was discussed with the cook and waiter in front of us and a revised bill was issued, which we paid hesitantly.This restaurant will be the last place on earth I will be visiting if there was a zombie apocalypse; I’d rather eat my left toe. Be warned we will be contacting the Leicester city council health and safety regarding the smell of urine from the toilets into the restaurant.

We visited this restaurant in early November - we were a large party (approx 20).Although we had a good time with our friends I was completely unimpressed with the food.Not only were the portion sizes small, but arrived "luke warm".This is not quite what you expect at any restaurant. The Naan was cold by the time they brought it over & only the 2nd batch of naan arrived hot, but by that time I'd lost my appetite.It's a shame also, that a waitress was rude enough to swipe away a paid Gin & Tonic knowing full well the glass was 3/4 full. It was a good job I turned around in time to stop her taking it away.Would I come again?There are plenty of other Indian restaurants to visit in Leics such as The Clowes, where food & service is much better! I'd be more inclined to spend my money at those establishments in the future!! Don't waste your cash at the Spicetree

I live in Los Angeles and visit Leicester quite often. The old "Coro" now sports 2 separate kitchens one for Veg and the other for Non Veg. A couple of years ago Spice Tree came out with their Quorn menu. Quorn Tikka, Quorn Masala and Soy Samosas are to die for. I recently visited Spice Tree 3 times during my last visit. This is what else i recommend:1. Quorn Pilli Pilli - good amount of spice not too overbearing2. Stir Fried Aubergines - one word (WOW)3. Quorn Madras - tons of great flavor and taste, with great consistency in the curry (yes i spell flavor with out a "u")Im back in Los Angeles and am going back again in 2 weeks. My mouth is seriously salivating as I'm typing this. Great job on the food Spice Tree and the service is good. See you in 10 days!

Very helpful , excellent menu and the chef tends to listen and is fantastic, good value and very generous portions

Went for a meal here not long ago. Ordered lamb tawa which was quite not what I hoped for. Lamb was slightly chewy.

This is the second time I've been to this restaurant as I don't live locally. Both times, the food was delicious & the staff were delightful. My friends,who took me, go there regularly & always enjoy the food. I was very surprised to see some negative views about this restaurant & hope it doesn't dishearten the staff.

We went out for a family meal turned out to be a disaster! Food was absolutely rubbish and as for service I didn't know customer service meant receiving dirty looks from the members of staff! The owner turned their noses up at us and I'm pretty sure if you ask for some water you're meant to receive something to drink it out of to NEVER AGAIN!!!

We went there for my sons birthday meal and we ordered some tandoori chicken for starters and they were not cooked properly. We did give them back and the chef gave us back after we finished our main meal. All the main dish were very blend and all curry dishes had same taste. They cook all the curry dish in same sauce. Its a shame this place is so close to me in Leicester that its always empty. They need to change their menu and their chef. The only nice thing was they played a birthday song on tv screen from list of 3 files which everyone could view so if you giving someone a s is surprise then this is definetly not the right place. I wouldn't advice you to eat here. Go Martin Inn or Terra Cotta.

Good traditional food, made fresh not like other restaurants that mass produce the same dish over and over again.Non Veg and Veg made separately, great idea. Non Halal ! Restaurant

We live near by spicy tree. We visited twice un the week days Tuesday and Thursday . On both occasion it was dull and empty. Yes there are lot of cars on the car park as a muss leading publicity to outsiders. The comments here on are all a false comments by the owners family and two young girls who run the bar but do not have social skills to attract variety clientele groups. This side of the city is mainly male (asians) and only go in spicy tree on Friday and Saturday night but by 10.30 pm it is dead like a cemenrty. This should be their prime time as you will see nearby woolpack, the Martin Inn and Horse& jockey are heaving with multi cultural families and friends having good quality food, music and fabulous times. The comments we have so far are from extended families of the new owners. It's not bad but certainly it's not as great as the pictures are painted either. You may visit the pub yourself and see what we mean. We have lived in the area for 50 years and have witnessed lots of changes and new owners come and go. That in it self talks volume if it was as good as the family purport it to be in their perceived ideas then why does owners changes hands much more than other rivals in the vicinity who are still popular as ever with the same landlord for many years. Let's look at it realistically not please don't waste time fabricating factual information that can be visible to a naked eye. Let's stop this biased family friends review at an incentive of getting a free pint if we pose good report on trip adviser sites which other landlord don't have a need to promote. Thank you

Wow! This is another restaurant we were recommended, went on 2 May. There's parking outside the restaurant. The staff are very friendly and know how to make you feel welcome. There are two separate kitchens for veg and non-veg food and our meals were very tasty. The place was packed but the service was great. Would definitely go again.

Wonderful food! Definitely recommended especially as we are vegetarians and they have two kitchens! One for veg and one for non veg! Family loved it! Only trouble is eaten too much as couldn't stop!!

Very tasty food, service was excellent and would definitely recommend it. Accommodates appox 80 people in the upstairs hall.

I would definitely say that spice tree has the best paneer dishes i have had- the taste is always consistent. Furthermore i was impressed by chefs and the new managements welcoming manner and keen for feedback to maximise their service. Spicetree has become our new regular

We went to the spicetree with a small group of friends. The atmosphere was great and the service was brill. The food was amazing and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend to others.

I visited SpiceTree for the first time this evening and I can not fault one thing. Taken over in the last two months the new owners are doing an excellent job. The food and service were brilliant-everything was taken care of quickly and anything we asked for was accommodated. The previous comments on here should be ignored as they no longer apply!!I will be telling all my family and friends and will be back very soon for more tasty food!! Lovely restaurant, nice friendly staff and most of all amazing food.

I had my 18th birthday party at the hall upstairs and it was great! there was lots of room to dance and move about even with tables! the food was fantastic and none of the friends or family who came had about word to say about the food. The waiters were brilliant were always on hand and were very easy to interact with. we had absolutely no problems and my 18th birthday was a night to remember, i suggest if you are having a party that you host it here!

Review written by AmitaI went with my family and friends for a meal to Spicetree and had an amazing meal. Even though the retaurant was full the service was great and all of us enjoyed our night out. The staff were really friendly and kept and coming and asking if all was ok and wanted anything else. The owner came at the end to ask how the food was and if they could make any improvments. I recommend you try it out as the atmosphere was great too.

Went on Valentines weekend, busy night but good. Good food, good atmosphere and nice friendly staff....

We went as a family for a new years celebration.When we reached there we found out that they were fully booked but there was space in the bar.I was not to sure about the bar but when we went in the atmosphere was much better than the restaurant. We payed £15 a head for an amazing 2 course meal.The young man at the bar and the waitress were very friendly and helpful.The chicken was very nice.my kids really enjoyed it.There was a dj and he played the the sings for my kids as soon as requested. It was a good ecperiance but as we were spending New years eve at home we left early.If you ever visit be sure to dine in the bar and not restaraunt restaurant as tge other reviews on the restaurant are bad.

I have been a couple of times to spice tree and i absolutley love their food and the friendly atmostphere. We go out with friends and just enjoy the night as we are warmy welcomed and are looked after very well. I understand that when we came in a busy day, that it is difficult to get around to everyone and mistakes happen, but keeping all that to aside, I believe we recieve wonderful service from the staff and the management. Many times the waitor there doesnt understand what im saying or i dont understand what he is saying but we still get treated with great pleasure and the other girl serving makes sure we are fine. Overall i recommend spice tree to everyone and always mention it to my friends and family! will see you soon, thanks.

Went on a thursday night after seeing on their website that they have a Dosa night. Upon arriving the waiter seemed clueless about what I wanted and mumbled something which I didn't understand. I had to get him to repeat three times and what he was saying was no south chef, meaning south indian. Eventually someone came and told me that the restaurant has new owners who took over 2-3 weeks ago and they have not updated the website.Pointless journey and a waste of time

Went for an evening meal with 2 friends. The table had been been booked 2 evenings earlier, however no record of the booking. Eventually after 10 mins they found us a table right in front of the open kitchen which meant the waiters and everyone else kept walking by all evening and knocking our chairs/elbows etc. A very long wait for drinks - they seem to struggle with the concept of people wanting a bottle of wine, took the food orders fairly swiftly but the food was very slow to appear - probably a good half an hour and they forgot part of my order- I had to ask twice for the accompanying pickles. Food is tasty and hot when you get it though. A very long wait for the mains - probably an hour and again they got the order wrong - tried to give me boiled rice when I ordered jeera rice. It did arrive after about 5 mins. The food is very tasty and quite spicy and portion sizes huge. The quickest part of the evening was the presentation of the bill which was wrong - they had charged for the rice which we had not ordered but they did apologise and deduct it.One person out of the 3 was ill shortly after leaving the restaurant though we cannot say it was the food but we ate different food so it cannot be ruled out.In all the food is not bad when it arrives but expect a long wait, expect them to mess up the order and don`t expect any sort of service from the waiters or waitresses - they are appalling. The restaurant is very noisy so don`t expect a quiet meal out. It was the 3rd time visiting here and the last. The service has gone completely downhill - such a shame as a year ago the restaurant was amazing.

We booked a table for 12 this weekend where we ordered drinks within 5 minutes of being seated as well as 3 portions of chips for the children in our party. This was at 8.30pm. We also ordered starters soon after at 8.45pm the drinks arrived at 9pm and after constant questioning about the chips they didn't actually arrive until 9.30pm with our starters. Shortly before our starters arrived we decided we had better order mains as they were slow. So keeping in mind we ordered mains at around 9.25pm, they arrived no earlier than 10.45pm.Starters were great although they took over an hour to deliver, but the mains were absolutely disgusting, tasteless, bland and quite rubbery. Not to mention the fact that no naan or rice arrived until 15 minutes later so it went cold anyway.The waitress as sweet as she was didn't seem all that bright and did nothing to explain why it took so long. By 10.30pm 2 diners left us which we made clear to management, with no response from them at all. No mains dish was touched apart from a spoon or two. This was such an embarrassing experience as we were entertaining guests visiting from over 200 miles away! When my husband spoke to another waiter he told us that he felt so bad as he saw them cooking our mains in the kitchen in a rushed way and not even bothering, but there was nothing he could do about it. All we were offered was a 10% discount on the bill, but this wasn't about the money, this is a joke for a restaurant and I would advise people to stay away at all costs. 6 of our party members suffered from diarrhoea and vomiting after this as well as the entire party complaining of itching within an hour of being in there and the following day. We tried to leave many times but were promised our food was on the way. I feel ashamed that a restaurant like this even exists in Leicester. Shut it down!

I have been to SpiceTree a few times and every time me and partner have had a wonderful experience. I don't like the rush and loudness of the weekends so we often during the week after 10. The restaurant looks very big but it some how has a cosy feeling about it. It also has two kitchens, a great concept, where one kitchen is purely vegetarian food and a separate kitchen is non-vegetarian. It's great as I'm planning on taking my parents there as they're vegetarian. The food is also very nice, we always ask for the chef's special dishes as they are really special. The vegetarian food isn't bad either! The service we receive every time is really good. The waiter that serves us during the week is very nice, he's professional and very informative on how long the food will take to come, and he's always accurate. He knows what he's talking about, he gives great advice on the dishes and recommends us a number of dishes off a description we have given him on what we like. He is also very friendly, making our meals a very enjoyable experience and often sharing a joke with us.One bad thing that i did notice about the restaurant on a couple of visits was that there is always a table of family members, or I think they are as they act like it, that always come and eat. They are very noisy in an almost empty restaurant. They are constantly swearing and very loud. I know another couple, that were in the restaurant, also started to get irritated in what was a good atmosphere.Really give this restaurant a try! It's a gem that isn't on Melton Road!

i came to celebrate my friends birthday and had an excellent evening. i have visited this restaurant 4 times this year and the food just keeps on getting better and better each time. the service was fantastic and the choice of variety with foods and drinks were brilliant. the restaurant had two seperate kitchens, veg and no-veg. this was an advantage for some of my friends as they were pure vegetarian. ive read a view reviews below, and i feel that the restaurant isnt as bad as people are saying, i personally think they are exaggerating a little. . the atmosphere here is the best experience ive ever had.i would strongly recommend this to people, and to come and see how brilliant the food and service is for yourselves.

i went there for a family dinner with my parents who were both vegetarian and my brother who is non veg like me. the service was fantastic and the food was even better. the restaurant had two separate kitchens, veg and non-veg which was great for both my parents as they were pure vegetarian .the atmosphere was fantastic and we all enjoyed our evening. the food is worth the price. definitely a recommended place to go with friends and family who eat veg and non-veg both!

Went to the Spice Tree, for my Grandad's 80th. Right from the word go, I knew this wasn't going tobe the best restaurant experience. The waitresses showed a lack professionalism when asking for the whereabouts of order, when trade started to pick up during the evening the kitchen started swearing & panicing in Gujarati! This is odd restaurant cramped seating arrangements most ofthe restaurant floor is taken up by two kitchens one that cooks Veg & other Non Veg. Strange concept its either on or the other. Later that evening we complained to the owners, who also run Lakhani Motors. Looks like they're trying run a restaurant like garage...on the tight! In short this place is nothing to write home about, mediocre staff & owners, average food, cramped seating arrangements. If you want a quality Indian restaurant, visit one of many on Belgrave Road. I think the owners should do what they do best stick to fixing & selling cars!

We have been eating here for a number of years now.Food and service always been first class.Recently though since it was sold and new owners have taken over the good has improved and it's a pleasurable experience eating out here.All the staff are fantastic and customer service is key with this new management.

the starter and mains where tasteless. Ovarall dining experince was rubbish. If ever in leicester do not visit you wil be very disspointed. Service is so slow waiters dont know what there doing. Main curries all tasted the same.

Well I have been to this place not once but thought I would give them a second chance to impress. All I can say is that the place is run as bad as "faulty towers!". On both occasions they had run out of one or other of the meats. On both occasions it was so cold we had to ask them to put the heating on and when the food arrived it was cold so had to be reheated. And as for customer service, forget it!! They don't have any as they never apologised for the poor heating, long waits for food and cold food when you get it. As for not being able to offer certain dishes is a joke as they should learn from mistakes not keep making them repeatedly. To top it all off our drinks came after several requests and when you go to wash your hands in the loo, there was no soap and no one could locate any. Not good. My advice is avoid at all costs and go to a real restaurant. There are plenty of good ones to choose from in Leicester.

Went in had to wait 15 Mins for our drink! Staff are very rude and food is not the best. I think as I a veggie I will stck to good old Mirch Masala down the road every time I come from Longon. Guys it a no from me!! Spice Tree you are fired!!

This place is sure worth a try - 2 split kitchen idea worked brilliant for us. Being a vegetarian and to know my food is cooked and preped in a kitchen seperatley to the meat is a big plus point. Try the aubergine starter it is amazing! The meat eaters loved the lamb chops. We will be back

Was taken out by my family for my birthday dinner, but what a terrible experience. I found hair in my starter, I had ordered chilli mogo. When the staff were told, they replaced it with jeera mogo, so another wait whilst they made me another portion of chilli mogo. My samosa, that was in my plate, was thrown away with the original hairy mogo and was not replaced. By this time my appetite had died and the kids were tired of waiting.Drinks were very slow. Our drinks finally arrived after the hairy mogo, after the staff had been reminded we were still waiting for them.Service was poor, with food coming out very slowly. Curries were not the best I have ever had, the vegetable kofta contained just 3 small koftas. Overall, poor service, hair in food and nothing special Curries. Save your money and go somewhere better.

I remember coming here when it was the old coronation pub. Since then there has almost been a confusion with design. Clearly keeping the pub area is a good idea as alcohol sells! However the design and service of the restaurant is just odd. An open air kitchen seeing stainless steel and women in hairnets almost reminded me of school meals. Strange indeed! Secondly the amount of cars parked outside gives it a false sense of fullness however peeping through the window of an empty restaurant leaves me with confused thoughts. The food was standard for an indian. I'd rather drive 2 minutes down the road to Marten Inn for a valued meal. It was a great idea with this place but just strange.

Visited with non vegetarians friends and was really pleased to see separate vegetarian kitchen. The menu had lots of choice and the waiter was very patient in explaining various terminology and dishes.We had a lovely evening, the food was great, staff very helpful and friendly. When we left a tip the waiter was very humble and appreciative.Only comments would be that a large wine selection would be a bonus and the availablity of tea and coffee (although the offer to go out and buy some was made!!)

The restaurant is a sit in and dine area and the food can also be served in the pub area (which can be quicker- especially if you want a quicker service). The veg food is cooked in a separate kitchen to meat products. The food is great however there have been times they have ran out of fish/chicken which doesn't help. The service can be very slow indeed and you could die of thirst before your drink gets there. Food usually doesn't take long to be cooked and has been fresh on arrival. When and if you need addiontal stuff getting a waiter to come over can be a nightmare. Certainly good for large/family dining but when friends go I feel they forget your sitting there and focus more on larger groups. May need to employ more waiters.

I'm a regular visitor to Leicester from London and I thought we were spoilt with the quality of Indian cuisine back home. Having visited many restaurants in Leicester over many years, I'd seen this place transformed in recent months, albeit I only saw from the outside. During my latest visit I suggested we, as a family, should give this place a go. So we turned up, all 12 of us, with high expectations given the very modern decor this place has. Looking through the menu, there was a great vegetarian choice for all the rabbits and loads of meat choices for us carnivores. The food was very well presented and tasted amazing! The depth of flavours in all dishes was out of this world! I particularly liked the lamb handi (on the bone) and the aubergine sizzler was also really tasty. To top it off, the waiters were very attentive and they made some good menu recommendations. We'll definitely be coming here again, in fact I'm planning my next visit to Leicester around it!

Well been to spicetree Leicester first time and was impressed with the food, yes people will write all different sort of review, every restaurant you go it will take time for food to come. Yes the management were very helpful at this restaurant, drinks came on time,food took little longer but it was not that long as some say. Ok I can give 4 stars here for food.service and presentation. Visit and find out .Good luck

If you are on a diet and want to waste a couple of hours looking over your shoulder waiting for your food order then the Spice Tree is for you. We went for a family meal to the Spice Tree for a meal with our son, who had another party arranged for later that night. We had booked the Spice Tree nice and early for 6.30pm. We were among the first diners to arrive. We were welcomed by a guy who was sat near the door in a Camel over coat. He told us he was the boss, and a very pleasant fellow (apart from the over coat) he seemed. We were shown to a table at the far end of the empty restaurant as we had a 5 year old and a toddler with us.Our starter arrived half an hour later, And after we ordered the main meal. We waited an hour before asking the waitress how long it might be, she checked and said not long. The children were now restless, the toddler started crying because he was fed up being constrained in the high chair, we were aware that other diners evening was being spoilt. Passing the toddler from person to person and keeping him entertained was not working, we kept asking how long our main course would be. Eventually I got up and went to find the man in the overcoat, he was not there the bar staff said he was in the other room they would fetch him. After 10 minutes of waiting at the bar waiting for him to come. I went into the other room and asked for him, but nobody had seen him. I went back into the restaurant and asked for the 2nd in command. There was no second in command. I complained to the barman about the service and the length of time taken for our main meal, He asked if we had actually ordered it. I spoke to the waitress again and decided enough was enough. My son had the other party to go to, the kids were fed up and we were all still hungery. I left my son and the two children. After we had left the man in the Camel overcoat turned up and appologised to the other two members of our party who had remained behind. He insisted they pay for the starter. But it was pointed out that the whole thing came as a package and he had ruined our evening, half the party had left, everybody was still hungry and we had been there nearly two and a half hours. Never again.

I pulled up at the restaurant and must say that it looks very posh from outside however when i was looking around i thought i was pulling up to a car lot where cars were for sale.I went in with a few friends and waited ages for a drinks order, the waiter finally came and took our drinks order, im not sure if he was a waiter or if he was a customer as he had his winter jacket on as if he was going out. Anyways we ordered our food, we ordered tika masala, chicken curry, paneer tikka masala for the mains. They came out and the chicken tikka masala looked completely different to the paneer tikka masala, infact the panner looked like the chicken curry. So anyway the winter coat man came over after numerous attempts of getting his attention and explained that this is not a paneer tikka masala, he simply said yes it is our veg kitchen is seperate to our meat so this is how our paneer tikka masala is cooked. Shocked to the reply i got we just ate or should i say tried to finnish our meals however couldnt even do that as the standard of food was poor. I mean come on i might be english but i know what a curry is meant to taste like. Whilst eating a table next to us must have ordered a paneer tikka masala and heard the waiter saying paneer tikka masala and this infact looked like a tikka masala. So i called the waiter over which looked like a waiter and asked what is that dish on the table next to us, and he replied paneer tikka masala, i then asked what is this paneer dish on our table and he replied i dont know let me go to check. After 10 minutes he came back and said yours is paneer tikka masala too. I was shocked at the attitude of theses guys,AM I STUPID OR SOMETHING??When i asked for the bill the winter man came with the bill and said i am not happy with the fact that you mentioned that we were eating paneer tikka masala when clearly it wasnt. The only response i got was if you dont like our food then you know where the door is! I honestly could not believe what i heard! beyond a shock and humiliating for us!You know what i dont want to come back to your s**t hole place and experience the worse food i have ever had in my life. Carry on running your business like this you bunch of kids, no wonder you have plenty of cars parked outside just to make the place look busy and when you walk in its dead!!!Fellow trip advisor followers be aware of this place. Thats all i can say!

Last night was my 4th visit to 'The Spice Tree' in 7 weeks, and again we have had a great service along with great food.Yesterday was only a party of 6,previously we have had a party of 16. The staff are very polite and we found very attentive.Last night we ordered mix grill starters,both of the veg and non veg variety, and they were superb. The main courses that followed were equally as great.This won't be the last time that we return to the restaurant, in fact I will be booking again for my fathers 65th, he absolutley loves the shiekh kebabs these chaps sell.I also love the fact that both veg and non veg kitchens are seperate, this goes down really well with the veggies amongst my family. The fact that everything that we have ordered at the spice tree is always freshly cooked, proves that the chefs,the waiters, the bar staff and owners are really committed to providing a fantastic dining experience.To 'The Spice Tree' keep the standards high, and you'll continue to gain customers, as well as keeping my custom.Thanks again for a great experience.Bav & family

I would recommend take away don't sit inside for a meal the service is crap they don't even come and get drinks order, they mess your food order up and you have to ask to get your food. You have to ask to get things and yet they have the cheek to ask if everything is ok and when u tell tem what's wrong they do nothing. Needs new staff and new management keep the chefs they are the saving grace for this restaurant.

The source tree turned out to be the bush the name by far superceeds the restaurant unfortunately I felt I stepped into the 80's as the restaurant I'd finished in bills red and black all that is missing I'd the should pads.in the maitre d'a jacket. As for the service and food let's just one had had a better experience at a drive through! Please could the management but.the staff watches and manners thank you from.a very peeved customer (at the time of this visit restaurant was at half capacity)

I had my graduation and 21st celebrations at The Spicetree in Leicester and enjoyed every minute. We used the lounge area to gather people and then moved the party to the main restaurant area. Everyone loved the food, especially the Crispy Aubergines! Everyone was impressed with the two separate kitchens - vegetarian and non-vegetarian, which was great as most of the guests were vegetarians. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming and always on hand if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone planning family parties or anyone looking to have a great meal.Great Food, Great Service, Good Times.

The Spicetree has a very relaxed lounge for family and a sports bar. The restaurant is separate and on entering it you can instantly see that the current owners has created the right ambiouns.My wife are vegetarians, where as our son is non veg. For starters we ordered Chilli Paneer and Chilli Garlic Jeers Mushrooms. They were both fantastic. For main we ordered mixed veg Paneer, Egg Piri Piri and Chicken Tawa. All the dishes were freshly prepared and were hot when served. The nan and roti were pefect.All in all an excellent dinning experience to which we will return again and again.

Atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed. After selecting and ordering from the great variety of food on offer in the menu, drinks arrived promptly shortly followed by starters and then the main meal. The food was hot, delicious and spiced appropriately (I ordered a mild curry and it was very tasty and not too hot).Overall my experience there was an enjoyable one and I would recommend The Spicetree to anybody looking to go out for a good meal.
