Village Spice in Telford and Wrekin

Ordered a Chicken Tikka Biryani and mixed grill. Really lovely and flavourful. Really nice portion size and really tasty. Will definitely order again

As review below, food didn’t show up. Waited outside in freezing cold as app said it was on way. Phoned takeaway and was assured she’d phone back with up date. No phone call. Eventually arrived an hour late. Totally unacceptable We had already found alternative as we had been starving . Didn’t accept order Pathetic customer service Don’t bother ordering

Food is excellent , always turns up on time. Highly recommend Village Spice !!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!! Ordered foor at 6.45pm , called them at 8..05 was told PROMISE will be there in 10 minutes I have called the driver. Another hour later and 124 attempted calls later still no food. Decoded to go fetch ot myself. Was already a customer in the shop who also was collecting his food due to a non delivery service Said to the woman I spoke to you , and you promised food was on way yet it was sitting on a bench along with numerous deliveries that were just sat there. The man in the shop was still taking orders yet couldn't meet the delivery requests they already have Whilst woman sorting out my food 2 more very unhappy customers were told to give it another 30 minutes. Got all the way home and missing items 1st time using this place and def my last

Ordered a take away from here at roughly 6:30 today. Was unable to get through to speak to someone until 8 o’clock to get an update on where food was. Was told it would be with us soon. 8:30 rang back and told it was on way, 9 o’clock no food, called back and told food on way. It is now past 10 pm and almost going on 4 hours since the order was placed and no sign of the food arriving. Even with multiple phone calls, told the same thing each time. It takes 10 minutes to drive from the take away to my house. Terrible service with no concern/apology!

Very good service staff very polite A very pleasant experience Great food

Ordered a couple of times recently it's very nice food

Recently had the balti special, nothing special about it at all, very salty which is strange for a Indian curry, and gave me the runs for the next 24hrs, wont be using again.

Always nice service and friendly staff and the food is amazing

Order from here every 2/3 weeks, that should say it all really. The chef was even kind enough to make us a dish off menu (saag dahl) when requested.

Great food always hot, service is brilliant and quick

This is about my 20th meal for 2 fromm village spice other than I wrong order the food is 100%..every dish cooked spot on and it's only place that dies a proper biriani veg sauce.. proper veg..and actual hot as you like..had some shockers from big name restaurants. It gets busy so order early.top place

Absolutely horrific. Ordered at 7.30 turned up at 10.10. Phoned 3 times to be told they would contact the driver but they never called us back. Promised 2 separate delivery times but was complete and utter lies. Kids ended up having jam on toast and going to bed. Chips were rock hard and cold. Ordered spring onion rice. Was literally boil in the bag rice with a few onions thrown in. No seasoning and bland as anything. The naan was cold, poppadoms smashed to smithereens. The curries were ok but we were starving and desperate at this point and probably would have eaten anything. Do not order delivery from here. Service and food are a disgrace.

Rank. Stay clear. Don't get the food you order and it's gross when it does arrive. My granddaughter could cook better in her easy bake oven under a lightbulb. Arrived late. Food missing. What cane was a disgrace

Best curry we have had in a very long time, couldn't fault it at all. Will definitely order again

Amazing food & excellent service. Definitely recommend.

Food amazing and tasty so far the best I had and fast on delivery alway hot and on time keep the good work

The food was bang on injoyed ever bit 5☆☆☆☆☆

Quick delivery. Food was still hot. Food was amazing highly recommend this Indian.

Been using Village Spice for around 2 years now, no need to go anywhere else food has always been bang on 👌

Nice meal at a fair price. Lovely delivery lady very polite and friendly a credit to your business..

Thought we would try a different takeaway place than our usual spending over £40 with the discount. Just unedible ended up in the bin. I waited a day to see if I would have a bad stomach. Did leave a complaint and was called back and was offered more food, but when the first lot was as bad as it was there was no way i was going to try again. Also had a plain naan, this looked like , shape size consistency of something that you would have from tesco again this was pointed out, neither confirmed or denied. Such a waste of money. I will stay with cardomem kitchen in future, awful!

Food from here beats everyone in Telford delivery can be a wait as they busy every day but its quality and don't mind waiting for quality always very friendly on the phone 5***** can't fault the food or the staff

Really would recommend this take away the food is so good vegetable curry was really good chef Raheem cooked what I asked for . The young lady who serviced me was so polite really helpful. Good customer service. It's our new take away from now on .

Best indian place to have around. friendly staff very well oragnised. I love the taste of their food. Will not go anywhere apart from this place.

Authentic place for food. Love this place. This place is amazing. Magical spoon of the chef does the job. I wouldn't go anywhere without this place. Could be late sometimes when ordering but it's worth the wait.

Best curry around, love this place

This is without a doubt the best Indian meal I have had in years! Highly recommend them the food was delicious the spice levels perfect!

Thank you Village Spice for making me the "best King Prawn Jalfrezi ever" My wife also enjoyed your food so much that we can't wait to order our next meal from you.!! Delicious hot meal delivered bang on time like they said, keep this flowing guys.!!!

Worst indian food ever also staff were very rude Never ever going back again

I ordered using the efficient online portal. The order was placed at 5.15pm for an 8.00pm delivery. At 8.30, we rang the restaurant to ask if the order was on the way. There was some discussion in the background and we were told that it had left at 8.15. It finally arrived at 8.45pm with the delivery driver seemingly unaware that it was late and she told me that they had come via a delivery in Newport. We rang the restaurant again, asking for a refund of the £6.50 delivery charge. We were advised that they couldn’t do this as the payment had been taken by Bookyup. They did offer to deliver some extra food to cover the delivery charge but as we had now eaten, this was not useful. I emailed Bookyup asking for the refund. They emailed back to advise that they had contacted the restaurant and ‘tried to convince them to refund but they strongly disagreed for the refund’. I’m usually very flexible with delivery times and if it has been delivered by 8.30 I wouldn’t have had any issue. I think asking for the delivery charge to be refunded for a 45 minute delay is fair and reasonable and for this to be something they strongly disagree with says an awful lot about their service. The food was actually very good but I won’t be using them again due to the poor service and their refusal to offer any redress on the delivery charge.

They were absolutely lovely, very kind food was great and they even gave us a free dish! Highly recommend!

£3.10 for boiled rice is taking the piss

I’ve seen previous reviews but they delivered earlier then given time to me so I’m very happy with the service also the food is great would definitely recommend and by the seems of things they’ve listened to the prior complains and have made big improvements very pleased thankyou village spice delivery and your chefs!

WE DID A COLLECTION VIA JUST EATS THE FOOD IS FAN BLOODY TASTIC THE LADY ON THE PHONE IS ASSET TO THE BUSINESS THANKYOU MERRY XMAS AND ALL THE VERT BEST FOR 2024

I would not normally put a negative review but enough is enough of waiting over 2 hrs on numerous occasions, which I think I’m entitled to complain only to have the phone put down on me this time how nice…. Oh so it’s ok to say it’s on its way when it’s not then etc etc. Great food but that’s it for me I’m afraid.

2 hours 40 minutes for delivery

Amazing food everytime we order. Highly recommend The house special masala, it's absolutely packed with flavour. I also recommend ordering direct from them as you get a 15% discount.

Regular here and I love the food. Tonight was absolutely shameful for service and after the lies tonight I'm not sure i can go back here. We called at 18:06 and ordered, we were quoted for 40 minutes. We called at 19:08 and they said it was with the driver, and to wait 10-15. We called again at 19:33 and they then said to wait another 10 mins. I then called at 18:50, asked if they could contact the driver to see if everything was okay. They said they would, and if not to call them back. I called back in 10 minutes and they hadn't even contacted the driver. Not only this lie, but on the call they said that the driver had only just left with the order. So we were given moving goalposts on expectations, and told two lies when we called. The food is lovely but the service destroyed any trust. Please give your customers proper expectations for time, no one would mind if you're busy but just tell them when they order. Also don't lie to your customers, it's horrible form. All recorded.

Abysmal took over 2 hours to deliver was told could reorder free next time. Tried order again to be told had to reorder within 2 weeks! Avoid

The first time we used Village Spice it took 1.5 hours and there was a curry missing so we had to wait another 30 mins. We didn’t use them for ages after being put off - gave them the benefit of the doubt tonight, and it’s been just under 2 hours and we’re still waiting. Disgraceful - don’t take the orders if you’re that busy. Hope our food doesn’t arrive cold.

Superb curries, I love their lamb Jhalpeji and various options of nans. The tandoori chicken is also recommended. Fast delivery

First of all the survice is good and the taste of the food is fabulous. Fesh food. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, fast delivery. I would recommend the lamb curries and different types of nans.

I was walking in the street and then i saw village spice and ordered some food from there…The food was amazing and fresh …Now i am ordering foods regularly from there…😊

The food was incredibly tasty, fresh, and clearly made with passion. Every bite was a burst of rich flavors from the top-quality ingredients. A must-try for anyone seeking a simple, yet delicious culinary experience. Thumbs up for this hidden gem!

Absolutely beautiful food brilliant service 100% would recommend

Best Chicken and Mushroom Balti for years.! The Chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was absolutely spot on, this level of quality takes skill and know how, the chef and his team a credit to their art. Home delivery was on time and food was still piping hot.

Perfect place to order from I placed order for collection very polite lady on phone food was brilliant and very quick very friendly inside would highly recommend definitely be back

Absolutely perfect will definitely order again best Indian in Telford food was absolutely delicious & customer service was amazing also generous portions yum

Worst curry ever avoid as genuine health risk. Environmental health informed and samples sent for checks. Ignorant refused refund. Just eat helped but these people just refused point blank. Genuinely angry and upset.

Will definitely order from here again. I ordered something wrong by accident and they changed it without any problems. The food was ready fast and tasted amazing too

had the butter makhani beautiful dish nice and tasty I would recommend this takeaway to anyone who wants a great curry from these guys nothing is to much trouble I rang them to ask if I could have extra garlic and it was sorted people that work there are friendly

The worst delivery experience ever had. 2 hours waiting for the food. Called the restaurant 3 times, no answer on the ETA, bad telephone manner and attitude. The excuse for late delivery was it’s Ramadan. But the restaurant had already been reviewed with late delivery in the past. To be honest, if you’re busy and not able to deliver the food within the given time, it’d better not to take the order at all.

Lovely taste, half the order! Popadoms crushed, mixed grill missing tandoori chicken, chicken pieces and lamb also chicken wings! Avoid, it arrived late and cold also!

Absolutely disgusting, ordered online at 19:00 & they said it will be a 60min wait, 2 hours later and still waiting for our food, will NOT be ordering from here again!!! My advice if u can’t deliver on time and blame it on being BUSY, STOP taking orders!!!

45 mins late past the delivery time. Food arrived cold and they refused even a partial refund. Waste of time and money. Companies like this shouldn't be on Just Eat. Absolutely appalling service. Will never order from spice village again.

Infuriating service, poor food. Waited 1hr50mins having been told 60mins, then food arrived cold, one item missing and one item incorrect. They refused to replace the order when I explained that it was already late and cold and by the time they had rectified the items it would be ruined. They offered a free starter on my NEXT order (the cheek!) and no suggestion of refund, I settled with collection of the missing items because I was hungry and wanted to eat. The woman on the phone told me that she had explained to the owner/kitchen that I was a regular customer and what had happened, but they refused to offer anything further. When I arrived, the place looked dirty and run down, and whoever it was that the lady on the desk had been speaking to would not come out and speak to me. 2hrs30mins after ordering, we finally had our order and after heating it in the microwave we found that the aloo gobi side dish was rancid/off, and the prawn starter was inedible and covered in cheap mayonnaise!?! Have used this takeaway many times as the food has been good in the past, so we’re very disappointed that it was such a terrible experience. Unlikely to order again.

Ordered tonight on just eat and not only was it 40 minutes late, there was no salad with the tikka starter and can honestly say I won't be ordering from you again

Most disgusting place ever. Fresh food is stored in a garage to the rear with no pest control measures. Delivery driver pretty much throws the food at your door as he is far too busy impressing people with the ability to wheelspin his car. Outer packaging stinks of cigarettes. Inside the packaging was rice and slush. Little bits of meat and a burned warmed up pre made naan.

Absolutely disgusting wait , ordered at 5.30pm to be given a time of no later than 6.50pm arrived at 8pm. Rang 3 times to find out what had happened to be told each time its left 15 minutes ago , then I was told the driver had to take 4 orders as they were busy. My advice if you are that busy STOP taking orders. I will end on a positive , food was well cooked and the portion sizes were ample.

1st time orderd and last mixed started missing not teast nan missing greasey feeling in mouth

Beautiful tasting food, great portions, and delivery was spot on. Worth the 5 stars

Ordered tonight for the first time snd it was lovely. Everything was perfect and wiil definitely be ordering again

Food nearly 3 hours to arrive every time a rang they said be with you soon. Would not let me cancel though website not ideal for my kids would never order again.

Ordered a delivery to Ted's campsite nearby! It was on time, fresh and delicious. Next time we will order again!

Food tasted amazing! Quick delivery. Will be ordering again.

First time ordered from village spice. And I have to say. It was the best chicken curry I have had for a long time. 5 stars

Been using for years. Excellent tasty food, friendly staff. Never been let down on quantity or quality.

Very very nice . Fresh and full of flavour. Chicken cooked fantastically.. best iv had in telford .

Use to always use this indian. Untill I order lamb that was off! And when I told them they said the next meal was on them untill I rang and they had no clue and when I was ok to order they said I had to collect! I don't drive. Then telling me I can have delivery but then no one can. Such a shame will not be using again

Just had a tikka delivered with 5 small pieces of chicken. My meal is literally rice and sauce. Absolute joke! Im not going back and ill make sure everybody i know doesnt as well. Just started eating it and it tastes like no tikka ive ever had. Disguisting! 0/10

Usually special village spice biryani is nice. Today it was extremely salty. So much so that we couldn't eat it! Such a shame as usually food is OK!

Excellent food brilliant quality on time very polite drivers best food around Telford staff are amazing

Have to say cannot complain at all with order it came in 47minutes which was good, delivery driver too was brilliant, now food where do I start, the starter omg spice and tasty, the curry spot on full of flavour and meet, came with nan breads definitely will be going here more of often, peppers needs to take note with flavours these guys do, truly impressed, will be ordering for the family soon so they can share this experience Thank you for a brilliant meal

Great customer service and great staff . Thanks x

ALways late I’m delivery always a new excuse not worth the wait at all

Truck driver passing through stayed the night in area Mixed starter found very nice Chicken wings very nice but found rather expensive for the amount you get thought I would of got double the amount of wings most others give at least 8 but owners choice on how many Lamb curry very nice enjoyed it (my opinion because find it hard to find & explain) lack of curry flavour but I do no & understand it would be impossible to get the the right amount of flavour for each individual person so if I was asked if I would go again or recommend then Yes thumbs up from me

Incredible food. Fantastic customer service and very fast delivery. Would highly recommend

Was desperately looking for a good indian as previously been disappointed by other local indian restaurants and takeaways.( won't mention any names in particular). This is an amazing food place. First time ordered on recommendation. Mouthwatering food. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be ordering again. Thanks Village spice👍

First time ordered from a recommendation. Excellent customer service. One of the best food place I found after long time in Telford. So glad I tried this place. Food was just unbelievably tasty 😋. Would have been even better to dine in if there was facilities. I recommend to all to try out this place. Hope to order more and more from this place.

First time ordering from Village Spice and wow! Food was steaming hot and great portion sizes. Staff were all very friendly when I went to collect. Best Indian I’ve had from Telford.

I have been ordering from Village Spice regularly for sometime. A couple of weeks ago, the order was late, but accepted this as a one off; however, food order tonight was well over two and a half hours... I spoke to the restaurant twice, only to be assured that the food was on its way. I was promised a call back from the manager... didn't happen. This is a real shame as the food from here is really good but the delivery times and customer service are shocking. Finally managed to speak to the manager who was perhaps the rudest person I have ever spoken to; shouting and swearing for asking for a refund. Do yourselves a favour... order from elsewhere

Still waiting for my food - 30 minutes after the 40 minute waiting time to be delivered, and phone constantly engaged- no idea when it will arrive , but gone past wanting it

I would like to say that this takeaway has made our Telford proud as for me it's one of the best place for food since its opening. Their customer service has been outstanding. Naan is very nice an tasty. Was once disappointed by their naan that must have been due to staff change but since I spoke to Mr Raheem( must be the manager) never had any issues. Delivery service can be a bit disappointing in weekends which is reasonably understandable as its a very busy place. Highly recommend to all Indian food lovers to try this place out. Also would have love to dine out in a place like this if it was a restaurant.

Went with these for Christmas absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh!

Late cold won't eat there again

I feel so blessed this takeaway opened in Telford as its been one of the best place for food in this area. Always had freshly cooked food, full of best flavours and always nice and hot when arrived. Delivery can be delayed a bit sometimes, which I don't mind as I know that I will still get the best food from here and its definitely worth the wait for me. I am surprised reading some disappointed reviews on this website. Must have been one unlucky customer but for me no bad reviews going to change my mind. Will definitely be ordering again and again. Would love to see this place turn into a restaurant so I can do a dine in with friends and 👪 🙂👍

Wow wow wow, only taken us 10 years to find a very good Indian takeaway in Telford. Chicken shashlik, chicken curry , rice, chips, nan and poppadoms. Verdict= although the shashlik was not clay oven cooked it was packed full of flavour onions and the sauce well balanced but rich with Indian flavours. The chicken curry was amazing, chicken was tender, soft and the sauce was chill hot but didn't loose the flavour because it was to spicy. Well done chef, you must be from India it's self or you have learned from family who can actually cook. The reason for the 4stars is because the chips wasn't as fresh but the vogurt mint that came with the poppadoms was very very good. Very refreshing, sweet and minty. Very good . Impressed. The only dam restaurant in Telford that can cook. Trust me people if I'm wrong , tell me somewhere else that can beat this place. 9 out of 10.

Tried this place out for the first time tonight and can honestly say it's one of the best Indians I've had I had quite a few lamb dishes and every piece was tender unlike some Indian restaurants that take you a week to chew definitely be going back again pathia bang on aswell 10/10

Food was very nice just the waite time is bit long when say 30mins on the foodhub app then you go there and it's not even ready and have waite longer.

very nice food abit late on delivery but very popular take away received hot 🔥 friendly delivery staff

I phone up at 6.10 told it was going to be 1 hour 2 hours later I called them food came in the end but stone cold i will not be ordering anything from them again

I've had food from this place before and it was really good. They messed us around with our order today then tried to put all the blame at the delivery companies door. Disgusting customer service and would advise you stay away. Very disappointed with how we was dealt with and I will never put more money in there direction again. Would give them no stars if I could. Edit to be fair to village spice on the day we had issues the manager and the delivery driver came out to my house to rectify what had happened. Also the problem was caused by just eat and not village spice.

Raw meat!! Rude staff!! Avoid however if you want food poisoning- go for it.

Fancied an Indian so tried this one as very close by. Was very busy and waited longer than advised for collection but food was very tasty so worth the wait. Picked up a loyalty card so will be back to try other dishes too.

Firstly DON'T DELETE THIS COMMENT LIKE YOU DO WITH ALL THE OTHERS!!!! What a shambles you are! Your service is atrocious, I have never had such bad service and been lied to at the same time. You cannot cope with the food orders you receive through pure greed! I have waited in your shop for food which I had ordered over an hour ago and when I walked in you said "it was on the packing line" 40 minutes later I'm still sitting there with more pathetic apologies for the delay. In the meantime your 2 online ordering printers continue to churn out yet more orders from customers who will sadly be disappointed with your shambolic service. I even witnessed blatant lies to your customers when you answered the phone to them chasing their orders. The panic was obvious as you told them their food was on the way but you hadn't even cooked it!!!! You put your greed before your customer service and you should be ashamed. Before you comment that this post is malicious or vindictive I can assure you it isn't. It is merely my thoughts and comments on the service I have received and the lies I have witnessed. Please don't respond saying that you offered free food as you didn't. Don't say that I am being vindictive because I'm not. Take heed of the comments and observations as customers will only take so much of your pathetic service and lies.

Took over three hours to arrive.

DEFINITELY won't be ordering from here again, ordered at 7:05pm to be told 50 minutes which was fine, food was not here after an hour, gave them up to an hour and a half, called over 100 times but phone was engaged, finally got through to be told its out for delivery it will be 10 minuets finally at 9:15 after a further 10 calls to get thorough to be told another 10 minuets and there is nothing they can do as they are busy! Husband then had to go out to get alternative food! absolutely disgusting! Maybe they should stop taking orders of they do not have capacity to deliver service!!!

Nice fresh food reasonable price,delivery on time, I'd like the batter to be different on the fish pakora, crunchy batter instead of soggy.
