Gone downhill, recently picked up take-away on a Thursday night. 3 curries had hardly any meat in . £60 spend very disappointed. We has decided to give another go after having a poor meal last month.

Located on the corner of Church Street and Market Place, Village Spice is an attractive restaurant serving Indian, Asian and Balti. The staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient and the interior is smart and modern. The menu provides a good choice of dishes served to the white linen tables, there is also a bar area. Despite living in the area for four years this was our first visit to Village Spice and we enjoyed our evening. We shall definitely arrange a return visit. Recommended.

We have ordered take away for delivery several times but the last three occasions, the food has been extremely late. One time the only way we could get it was to get someone to drive and collect it t it and even then, they waited over an hour. I gave them the benefit of the doubt until Saturday this week but once again, the food arrived an hour after the time I’d requested despite ordering it almost two hours ahead of the time I wanted it. We will not be ordering from here again

The Village Spice is a lovely restaurant and takeaway in the centre of Long Buckby. We visited on a Sunday evening. As with previous visits, the staff were friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. All the food was delicious. King prawn biryani packed with prawns, flavourful garlic mushroom rice, and very tasty onion/mushroom bhajee, aloo chana and sauces. A good selection of vegetarian options too. We'll be back very soon!

Used this takeaway for years and always been fantastic, however this one was average at best, and possibly even poor. Chicken dishes were like they had been prepared with the cheapest chicken, tough and tasteless, the special rice had very little else other than just rice, normally very nice with different vegetables running through it, tiny portion of Dal, one of the cheapest dishes to prepare. On top of that prices seemed to have increased considerably, if that is the case why compromise on quality?? Disappointing.

Mango chutney was like baby food or sick. Main course sent it back so called chefs special lol not instead of an offer for something else without warning mine and my son's food and drink was taken away and we was asked to leave thankfully was not asked to pay but very embarrassing to be asked to leave when all that was wrong was the food and the terrible service

Visited today with a family of 6 plus a little 3 year old girl for the Sunday buffet lunch. Tasty food, limited option to change the buffet options but plenty of choice for everyone. Staff were courteous and friendly. The high chair was also very clean which made a nice change...£8.95 per head for lunch seemed very reasonable initially but I would strongly recommend only ordering tap water with the buffet option as 4 pints of soda and lime came to over £20!!?? Probably cheaper to drink beer which was not an option for any of us today. Apparently the soda water is made by ‘Schweppes’ and comes from bottles; presumably single use gold plated ones. We should have been told about this before ordering; all appalled by this ridiculous expense.

Ordered over £100 worth of food from here tonight but were missing items for one meal when I rang up to ask about the missing items which I was charged for they refused to come and sort it out spoke to the manager and his response was come to the shop and we will sort it out for you. I live in daventry so it’s not as easy as to popping to your local shops.so I have a curry with no rice a mixed kebab starter with no salad and a plain naan when I orderd kema naan... second time in two months they’ve messed my order and refused to sort it out... I would avoid this restaurant with a passion there’s no customer service skills from the employees or manger to rectify the order but there happy when there taking your money off you.the family said the food was of poor quality and not hot atall. Can safely say village spice of long Buckby has lost a customer if your looking for a good Indian takeaway in the surrounding areas there’s one in daventry called ASIA 01327 301924

I must admit reading the review made by lady who booked table for five was a little bit exaggerated. Staff are very friendly and we had a fantastic meal and good service. The lady complained only after ordering from the set price buffet menu and after the meal was eaten. I found her attitude very rude towards staff and it was embarrassing to listen to. Why order from a set menu at a set price and then complain afterwards? To be honest I would be surprised if she was allowed back in even if she did return. I would have called the police for non payment of bill if I was the owner. Our meal was only ruined due to having to listen to her moaning. We have visited frequently and have always experienced good food and service. Well done boys

Shocking customer service. Walked in and asked for a table for 5 people. The staff member just pointed to the table. Without saying hi, or welcoming us. We had the all you can eat buffet. Where the staff are really awkward and make you feel uncomfortable for ordering more. We went with my 24 month old daughter who ate a spoon full of rice and half a vegetable samosa (no exaggeration) and they tried to charge £4.95 for this. Will not be returning. Ever.

This was our first visit to this Indian restaurant and having read the reviews we thought we would give them a try. So our Friday night curry was booked via internet we arrived at the appointed time 8pm and no one greeted us we just stood there! So after about 3 min I asked the barman if they had received our booking and he was very vague and told us to sit down amongst the takeaway customers while he sorted it out. we were not offered a drink so I went to the bar and ordered a beer and a rose wine, the beer was being put on a tray for another customer but he handed me that one! We sat in the takeaway area from 8pm to 8:25pm then we were shown to our table which hadn't had anyone on it all the time we were there! The order was taken and they advised and catered for my partner's gluten and dairy intolerance which was good. The food arrived on time and was okay, nothing wrong with it at all. The only thing was that having used our knives and forks on our starter they were removed and no replacements given, I had to call the waiter over and ask. The service from the small, diminutive waiter was appalling and I'm not the first to complain (see other reviews)!!! They need to check out how other restaurants pay attention to customer service as they are seriously lacking in this area, will we go back? definitely not and we won't be recommending it either too much choice elsewhere!!

Visited for the Wednesday night buffet with two small kids and two adults, can’t comment on food as left pretty sharpish due to poor service. Buffet menu states 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side, 1 rice or 1 naan for £9.95. When you order they insist on you sharing 1 side between 2 people which although misleading we could have lived with. Main issue was that they insisted on charging us for four when we only wanted food for 3. Explained that the kids (5,8) would share 1 main, 1 starter and 1 side but the waiter said that wasn’t possible so we left, plenty of other places in the village to get decent food and decent service. Advice would be to make your buffet deal clearer (i.e. you don’t get 1 side each) and exercise a bit of common sense - you can’t charge for 4 lots of food when the customer is asking fo 3.

I was away on business and determined not to buy some junk so decided to drive from watford services and visit this please. I was welcomed by one of the team and seated in moments. The restaurant was very quiet but this didnt mean the staff werent on the ball. Drinks and popadums were ordered and brought quickly and I was given time to choose what I wanted without being harassed or left too long. I had a couple of starters. The mixed kebab was brilliant but the pakora was very oily. I went with a tandoori main course and it came with a very light and fluffy naan. With drinks and all the food I paid £25 which I thought was quite good value. I would go here again and probably will as I will staying in the area most weeks. Thanks

The attractive spacious interior isn't enought to make up for the tastless excuses for curry being served here. Nor is the service which was only adequate. The 'Chef's special Mandala curry' was tuff lamb cooked in a thin tinned tomato oil rather than ghee, token slithers of aubergine and the only spices I could detect being a whole chilli plonked on top. Miles away from the Bangladeshi style of curries claimed.

The banquet on a Wednesday states either a naan bread or rice per person and a side dish each, however when ordering for 4 people we were only allowed 2 rices and 2 naan breads between us and only 2 side dishes, if we all ordered rice we would've been charged extra. The food was nice but the service was extremely poor. The waiter was mumbling and not explaining what came with the dishes. He was very impatient and got irritated at us. Carry on down the A428 and go to the Cinnamon, in Duston. Much better staff service, quality of food and prices!

Served poppadoms and dips straight away 10 mins before drinks. Then had to wait 20 mins before order was taken. Starter plates were quite literally snatched away. Main meal was ok but nothing special. Strange atmosphere almost as if they didn't want us in there. The waiters were not friendly at all. Don't think I'll bother going back.

Rude staff, Unsettling atmosphere, assumptions of identity and unprofessionalism throughout the night. As I finished my meal, a member of staff followed me out and decided to invade my privacy by asking if he could have a word with me and asked where I was from. Clarifying I was being discussed by other members of staff inside, I requested to see the manager which he then claimed he was. When I told him where I was from he was doubtful and smug, assuming he already knew me or one of the other members of staff did. It was my first time going and I wouldn't be returning.

Arrived having just walked out of another restaurant nearby where we had been unable to even order anything as the plentiful staff there couldn't be bothered to even give us a menu. An inauspicious beginning to a dining experience, but the courteous and attentive staff at the Village Spice rescued the evening. Quick service and frequent checks that we had what we needed made us feel more like valued customers than social pariahs. The meal was good too. My wife stated it was the best Pilau Rice she could remember. We tried some dishes we were not familiar with and they were well described (including the level of heat) and tasty. The atmosphere was friendly and informal and we were engaged in conversation with some customers and staff (including the chef) at the bar. Excellent all round and saved our evening. Will certainly return when in the area again.

We took advantage of the Wednesday Buffet Night - and it proved excellent value. The buffet option offers a starter, main course, rice or naan and a vegetable dish - from a very comprehensive menu. It was almost too much food - but very tasty.The service was a bit slow - but everyone was very friendly and we weren't in any great rush so not a problem.All in all a really good place to eat.

We hand a lovely meal , and a lovely surprise when they gave my dad a free drink and glass as the noticed the occasion. I then chose this restaurant to eat for my birthday.Again, great service and staff, they also let my Mum bring in a cake which they lit the candles for and served including giving me a free shot of whatever I chose.I shall definitely be returning to this lovely little Indian.

The worst ever meal I have ever had. Chef does not even know what how to make Briyani and charge higher rates. I will never recommend anyone for this restaurant.

We had lunch today at Village Spice and really enjoyed it. The so called Sunday 'waiter-served buffet' is actually more of an 'order what you want until you can't eat any more' system and it offers masses of choice at a very good price. If you hate buffets and tend to worry that some kid just sneezed on the food or fondled the bread, this is perfect.We have never managed to order extra rounds of food as we're usually too full after the poppadoms, starters, mains, rice, naan and side dishes. I can imagine some would see all you can eat as a challenge but it would be wrong to abuse such a generous deal.Nice service, polite waiter, reasonably priced soft drinks. Only complaint today was that the room was a bit too cold.

Had heard good reviews so keen to experience. Service was good, décor was good, food was a little bland, but will reserve judgement and try it again for a different dish

68 of us filled the restaurant and we couldn't have asked for more. The food was piping hot as were the plates. Service was excellent, the staff really couldn't do enough for us. I've eaten here in a small group and now this massive group and been impressed both times. Ticks all the boxes for us!

Village Spice is a lovely restaurant on the inside, with spacious seating and nice decor. My partner and I had a takeaway from here recently in which I had a aloo korma with peshwari naan and he had a lamb korma with keema naan. When we got it home the lamb korma was actually a chicken korma which was disappointing but still tasted great. The food was hot and tasted good. Just a shame they don't do delivery as we had to go and pick it up from the restaurant- kind of defeats the point of take out. The staff were helpful and nice and I'd still order from them again.

We popped in last night for dinner and had a great meal. The menu is extensive, I chose a meal I know very well from many restaurants, the Special Tawa, and this one was very nice...one of the best I have had.The staff where very friendly but never bothered you, they were just there if needed.

Have tried the other Indian restaurants in the village and this is our favourite. Food is some of the best we have experienced for flavour and interest. Good selection of drinks. Friendly staff. Service is sometimes slow and unpredictable, but think this is common to restaurants who also offer a take-away service. Never feel rushed, which is great for a relaxed night out.

I don't eat meat and so I always end up feeling very let down by restaurants offering lunch 'buffets'. Indian restaurants in particular can leave me with a plate of rice and dal and a feeling that I'm really missing out. But my parents love to go out for Sunday lunch and love curry so we decided to go to Long Buckby. Our initial intention was to go to Voujon as we used to eat at that chain in Kingsthorpe before it shut down. But the place was nearly empty, nobody greeted us and after a few minutes standing around being ignored we left and went to Village Spice instead.Their Sunday lunch deal is phenomenal. They call it a 'waiter served buffet' but in effect it's a menu from which you choose a starter, a main, a side dish and a rice or nan. I think ice-cream was also included but I was too full to find out. If you get through all of that, you can ask for more and they'll keep bringing it until you collapse from exhaustion.Starters included kebabs and prawn puree so not just the 'onion bhaji or veg samosa' cheap stuff. Mains included a large selection of 'traditional' curries with veg or meat of your choice (including prawns at no extra cost) and for those who can't deal with curry, they'll whip you up an omelette.All this for just £7.95The portions are not 'cut down' - the biryanis are massive, the curries nicely served in pretty dishes and you'll still get the hot towels and after dinner chocs. No corners are cut.Go before one if you don't have a booking as it gets very busy.For anyone who doesn't eat meat or is sick of that sense of unease that comes from looking at a buffet and not knowing how long the food has been sitting there, whether it's hot enough and who's been poking at it before you, this is a perfect alternative.

We called at this restaurant on an impulse. They were very busy and we hadn't booked, but we were warmly welcomed and shown to a table. The menu contains all the usual Indian curry dishes and some nice surprises too.I would highly recommend Village Spice for a beautifully cooked meal, excellent staff and a very warm welcome.

Had a takeaway as I was in the area on business. Staff very polite and friendly. Had a peshwari nan, chicken garlic and pilau. Fantastic flavour, not overdone on the spices and the food was freshly cooked, not meat just dumped in a stewing sauce mix like many. Will be back without hesitation.

We went for an un-planned Sunday lunch at the Village Spice and found they were doing their Sunday Buffet. It was very very nice, a good selection of food, order starter, main, rice, veg and bread, then do it all again !!! Ordering off of the menu, no stainless steel water baths of luke warm food.I found the food very tasty, very fresh and well prepared.We all loved it an will be going back again, buffet or main menu, it all looked great.

I visited this restaurant with my daughter for the first time. The first waiter that came along was not very friendly and made me feel most uncomfortable. I asked for 5 popadoms as my daughter has allergies and would eat little else, he replied "no" this is too much, you can have 3! How rude....it's my choice as a paying customer if I want to buy more even if we don't eat them.The rest of the waiters were friendly/helpful and accommodating regarding allergies/changes to the standard offering. Wouldn't go back again.

Been here a few times. The service is hit and miss but friendly. The food is nothing special but good value on Wednesday and Sunday when they have special offers on. To be fair exceptional Indian Restaurants are few and far between in my opinion, this may be something to do with some people preferring an anglicised version of curry that is over coloured and not authentic. However it is OK and nothing more nothing less!!

We have been coming here for years but on the last few visits the service was intermittent and the food not as good as usual. Tonight was the last straw. Arrived 6:25 and ordered poppadoms promptly. I accept the restaurant was busy but with only two staff serving, there was a lot going out of the kitchen in paper bags with those who had come for a sit down meal left to wait. The starters arrived moderately promptly but the onion bhaji I ordered were the worst I have ever tasted in 41 years off eating curry. Cold and uncooked. We waited for the main course but saw other tables who entered after us served ahead of us. We gave them until 7:45 and left. My wife paid them for what we had eaten but there was neither apology nor recognition of the appalling service. We will not be going there again.,

An empty pub has little atmosphere. The meal was disappointing. My wife's fish was tasteless and dry. The batter was good though. The garden peas were overcooked. Chips were delicious but far too many. Not a great celebration of our 54th wedding anniversary!

We stayed here for a day to celebrate my birthday. We did read reviews written here beforehand and were a bit anxious and wondered how our experience would turn out. As oppose to our concerns, it was one of the BEST spa & hotel experiences we ever had :) The hall itself is relatively small but had a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere, dinner was really amazing and breakfast was delicious. Spa is small but it wasn't busy when we were using so it was perfect for us. We will definitely come back again, thank you very much for your hospitality! :)
