Village Spice in York

Ordered at 1710 and at 1855 food still not arrived!

Lovely as usual and followed instructions requested to a tee Thanks

Food hasn’t even arrived ! After phoning and they said would be 5 mins. Will Never ever use again.

forgot bits of my order but they did bring them back. albeit other items had been here about 15 minutes.

Over 45 minutes late. Food was below average - onion bhaji tasted stale, very dry chicken in every dish, flakey naan bread that was stone cold and paneer that was tangy. Really disappointing.

Excellent fresh food. Biriyani was particularly good

The food was delicious and also cooked as requested The Nan bread was perfect Asked for really crispy fries and a small pot of Mango Chutney with one of the starters instead of the usual sauce and got both Spot On Thanks

I ordered a butter chicken but I was disappointed as the dish wash really quite watery and not a lot of taste to it (probably due to it being watery).

I ordered mid afternoon requesting a 1815 delivery. I received confirmation of the order at 1705, but the delivery quotes moved to 1830 and when I queried where my order was at 1845 I was told the delivery wouldn’t be until 1915 with no explanation.

Ordered food for delivery, direct from their web site. It arrived in a timely manner however, 2 items missing. Phoned them to let them know and they apologised and said they'd send them straight out. Get a phone call 10 minutes later apologising that they had missed 2 items and would be sending them out again. Fair enough, neither hand knows what the other one is doing. It happens. Food arrives. They've sent 1 of the 2 missing items. Give up. The other food is now cold. Wont bother ordering again from them. There are other restaurants

Gorgeous food and lovely delivery man

We have takeaway and eaten in the restaurant many times. The food is always good, but I have to leave this review this evening because of the delivery drivers unbelievable behaviour during a delivery. He was quite simply hammering my front door down, woke up my son and my dog went berserk. He did not give me time to answer the door and continued to pound my front door like you wouldn’t believe. Both my neighbours came out to check what was going on - it was that loud! I told him it was not ok and he did apologise and blamed it on the cars behind him beeping due to him pulling up on double yellow. Must admit that although we enjoyed the food, his behaviour has put a bad taste in my mouth and I am still upset by it. Not acceptable.

Delicious curry and plenty of it.

Food ok, sadly item was missing, was reassured that the driver would bring it, an hour later and still not arrived

The lamb was very chewy but the curry was really nice. The keema nan had no meat in and was rock hard. Need to up there game

Ordered a vegetable curry as a vegetarian and they put chicken in it! When I called they argued and said that’s how it comes. A health inspection needs to happen here immediately

Beautiful food really tasty and a treat for us

Late, cold and to cap it off, vegetarian dish had a big chunk of chicken in it. When I called, I was told that it was a chicken dish and I shouldn’t have ordered it if I didn’t want chicken - being vegetarian for almost 16 years, I know how to get to the veggie section of any menu and this is 100% not advertised as a chicken dish. Went round in circles on the phone, and was refused a refund.

Tried yet another new curry and again, like the others, it was delicious!!! Yorks best curry house!!!!

I’ve had many orders and every time they’re super fast and the food is always delicious!

was ok but not much chicken in the curry sauce for the price

The food arrived much faster than expected. It was hot and fresh. I ordered a lamb afghani and it was delicious. My only slight issue was the garlic naan bread which was a bit tough and chewy. Having said that, the main thing was the curry and that was delicious. Big chunks of meat too.

Unfortunately the food had no taste at all, the vegetable samosas were filled with what I can only describe as vegetable puree. Usually the food from here is good but I couldn’t finish my meal. Very poor.

Our first time ordering from you and we are happy with the food! One small thing that we ordered paneer pakoras and got spicy paneer instead - still tasted great though 😀

The best curry house in York no question!!

Really nice chicken tikka masala, chips, mint dip and small side dish of onions sweetcorn, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. £16.50

Great food and friendly staff. Good value with a 3 course special on Monday and Wednesday. Definitely worth a visit.

The food arrived and as soon as I saw the colour and the runniness I knew it was going to be disgusting. The prawns tasted of rubber the korma looked like it had been frozen.the madras keema was all sauce.shocking.the naan breads were soggy .I've wasted my well earned money on rubbish.the only good thing was the mushroom rice that was banging.never again.

Lovely meal. Couldn’t pick fault with anything. Even the delivery driver was a nice happy guy!

A nice meal but not the greatest. Service was a little underwhelming

cannot rate this meal high enough , we are curry lovers and have had curries all over the UK, this was hands down the best curry we've ever had and it was a takeaway! so fresh , cannot fault any of our meal. sad we don't live here to order more or visit the restaurant.

The dish I ordered a special is supposed to be lamb chicken prawn and mushroom, there is no lamb and no mushroom and the king prawns are small tough over cooked prawns the dish is way over spiced and filled out with huge chunks of green pepper and onion and the chicken has a strange texture like it has been boiled and thrown in. Not the usual standards we get when we regularly use the restaurant to eat in.

Lovely food delivered well within the delivery window.

Lots of different takeaways to choose from in York. This one came recommended. Traditional food and very nice. Lots of sauce with all dishes so worth getting extra naan to mop up! Dishes were quite mild which suited us. Starters to share, pickle tray and popadoms, and worked out at about £14 each.

I’ve been here twice now and was disappointed with the service and food on both occasions. Such a shame because it has a nice atmosphere and the location is so convenient. Hopefully others have a better experience.

Lovely food, delivered on time. Will definitely order again.

Great food. was a lovely treat :)

If you're after some really good food, either eating in or taking away, this place I hard to beat. I like a spice curry, but most places just pack a load of chillies in, and kill the flavour. Not here. Even with a hot curry, you get the heat AND the flavour, and the flavour is fantastic. However you like your curry, mild, medium, hot, or tongue melting, the taste is phenomenal. Living a fair distance away, I only get to sample this place when visiting friends, buts it well worth the trip. If this place was on my doorstep, I'd probably only leave to go to work.

Fantastic food. Best indian food in York without a doubt and they are so good customising dishes to your requests

Fantastic food will definitely be going back

Ordered a Paneer Masala and it was super watery

Enjoyed a birthday meal here with friends and family. Excellent and attentive service, wonderful food and very reasonably priced in today's expensive environment. We had a brilliant night and will definitely be returning.

Really nice food and good service on a Sunday evening. The saag paneer was a triumph. Off licence opposite if you want to bring your own drinks. What more can I say?

Super quick and really tasty, good quality food

Great food. I've never had a bad meal from here

Our takeaway was fantastic the flavours and the amount that you get cannot fault it was so lovely recommend it to anbody to try will deffenetly be ordering againyou will not be disappointed also the time that we ordered to be deliveted was spot on 2 very happy customeres full to the brim thanku

Order took over 1.5 hours to be delivered. I ordered a paneer curry and there was chicken in it

didn’t give poppadoms when ordered

Naan was dry and very tough, wife curry was bland and tasteless. Mine was ok, but definitely not ordering from here again

Nan bread was solid, couldn’t chew it

Amazing as always just gutted we received a coconut nan instead of a cheese nan we didn’t eat that as we weren’t a fan of it but will return as we love village spice .

Always a great experience and food. Great value for money, especially on a monday-wedneday when the deal is on

Quick delivery and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food delivered hot by a really friendly guy…

Always a great curry and friendly service

We ordered takeout! Outstanding food, full of favours and great portions. Whoever wants Indian food in York, should try this place!! It was so Yum, we finished before clicking picture :)

Always great food, great offers early in the week. BYO on alcohol is a bonus

Waited well over 2 hours from ordering to been delivered rang twice and still waited an extra 30 minutes after been told the driver was 5 minutes away highly disappointed food was cold

dry and rubbery chicken pieces. poor quality . not worth

We ordered at 7pm on a Sunday evening and the food was delivered 35 mins later, which was amazing. The food was delicious - tasty and well spiced, and very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you!

I enjoyed the food, l certainly recommend Village Spice.

Absolutely shocking customer service. I have never been ranted to by a takeaway owner before, until I rang up to see where my food was. Which was 1.5 hrs late. The man shouted and was hugely aggressive to me. All I wanted was my food, not an aggressive rant. I actually felt sorry for the guy as anyone this angry has issues.

Really great. Recommend to everyone.

Rice, Bajis and Samosas were all great. But the Chicken Tikka Buna was Watery and lacked body and flavour. I couldn't really tell it was a Buna or that the chicken was tikka'd.

Delivered earlier that expected, Food was hot and very tasty, we will certainly order from Village Spice again!

We have just had one of the best Indian meals we have had in a long time 😋 we have eaten too much though. It was NOT swimming in oil as we have had in the past from other take aways or to hot so you could not taste the spices. It was just perfect, compliments to the chef. They are a keeper. Thankyou for a lovely meal. Sorry no picture we really did eat it all.

was an hour later than the estimated delivery time and when food arrived the curry was watery and lukewarm

Prawn curry had hardly any prawns in and also asked for it medium spice but it was too hot

Excellent food and good service well worth a visit.

Ordered lamb but got chicken instead. Was still nice, but not what we ordered.

Really tasty and ready on time, thank you

Food tastes great however they don't list additional ingredients to items for some reason e.g. the fried rice has Onions which ruined it for me

Sorry to say, but we had unpleasant experience last night Naan - Terrible 😞 paratha - worst 🤷🏻‍♂️ Tandoori Naan - pathetic 🤦🏻‍♂️ lamb chops , chicken tikka, chicken tandoori - smell and taste very bad 🤮

i have not received my order at all and it is saying to enjoy my food i have informed the restaurant and they aren’t helping either im very disappointed with the service given to me

Wow.... where do i begin. Me and the family visited today and i can personally say that i was amazed. From the friendly staff as well as the fast service and the delicious food, this spot is definetly a go to and you will see me more often. Highly recommended

Just moved to a new home and got their menu through the post. After a recommendation from the letting agent, we decided to order after a long day of moving and it was exactly what we needed. Delicious food that arrived quickly. This will become my regular Indian takeaway. Tasty meals and decent serving sizes.

Amazing food-great taste,piping hot!will definitely be ordering from here again😁

Lovely food, great service and good price too

Great food never have a bad meal from these guys

ordered the food at 6:35 and it is now 8:40 and the food is still not here. called numerous times and he keeps saying 5-10 mins, the first time they said 5-10 mins it was over an hour ago at this point. starting to doubt if my food is ever gonna come. Awful service

my food is still not here and it’s 8.02. it was supposed to be here at 7.25

Order from here from time to time if my usual is busy and this is only down the street! Will NEVER order again. They are rude and have no respect. Need to work on their communication skills for sure! They tried to do me out of money and when quizzed they take away the discount!! Plus the madras is bad! Not even hot.

My husband and I love Village spice, we eat both in the restaurant and get delivery. The service is outstanding by Tas and his team. It is BYO booze which is great as it keeps the bill down. We can highly recommend the Chicken tikka madras which my husband says is the best he has ever had. I enjoy a dish called Royal Balti Masala, it is a medium dish with a mixture of a Chicken tikka masala and a Balti, it is superb. Couldn't recommend the place any more highly.

Great food and great atmosphere. I came with some friends and we all left feeling very satisfied. The place is bring your own alcohol and glasses are provided. Me and my friends cannot wait to eat here again!

gorgeous chicken curry full of flavour 😍

Hardly any chicken. Chicken hard. Peshwari tasteless.

Excellent place I'd you like a very good curry

We chanced upon this remarkable restaurant a few months ago and found the quality of food to be excellent. The staff are really helpful and friendly. We found their website easy to navigate, (better than Just Eat etc.) a great choice of options including vegetarian that never disappoints. Always had speedy delivery of high quality curries, with great presentation and exquisite taste. Highly recommended.

Love the food from here! Really hot and tasty! Their Korma is amazing!!!!

Great food and service - thanks

Nice food,good service and quick delivery.

Meal arrived on time, the food was hot and l enjoyed it, 5*. Thank you.

Really enjoyed my meal, first time I have eaten from here will definitely order from the restaurant again.

Good food and on time collection

gorgeous food friendly service we on holiday in caravan and no issues at all good was hot whe. arrived and all instructions followed really friendly delivery driver 10/10

It was really good and amazing value for money, good friendly service and excellent quality food

Absolutely beautiful food. The bring your own booze policy helps bring the cost of an overall meal and greatly increased the variety of drinks you can have. The food is incredible. 100% recommended.

Village spice is a fantastic Indian restaurant. We've overlooked it for years as it's on the other side of York from us and there are hundreds of other restaurants in between. We gave Village Spice a go after running an errand on that side of town and we were getting really hungry. Not only is the food gorgeous, there are loads of special offers to take advantage of. There's a set menu every Monday and Wednesday which is what we had. Its a starter, main then rice or naan for £12.95. The food is incredible, especially at that price. Theres also a collection offer where if you collect 6 times, you get your 7th one free, but the restaurant is too far for that to be useful to us. Handy if you live closer though. The staff are friendly and will adjust meals to your tastes. I 100% recommend.

Love Village spice - our go to when we want reliable food delivered on time. We had an 18 piece order, all was top notch. Really happy.

Staff so friendly and helpful food 1st class highly recommend
