Ziggys Spice House in Calderdale

Lovely food, friendly owner! A great place with great tasting food, a good variety on the buffet they offer and a friendly staff to-boot. It's run by an owner who takes great pride in the running of his business. He even suggested that if we have specific requests for the buffet, to ring ahead so that he can have them specifically prepared fresh. More restaurants should be run like this. 😊

The owner swindled a 70 year old woman with altzhimers out of 600 for a car. Swore to Allah how good car was and on his honer as a good Muslim that he would happily refund her if any problems. On inspection there were no breakpads. All break lines split bolts rounded callapers seized wrong battery and whole heap of other issues. Offered if she brought it back after she had paid 300 to try fix that she could have 200 back then stopped communication altogether. Complete con artist. Hasn't even supplied logbook as promised to give the following day so can't even scrap the car as its still in his name. Complete scum who could have killed old lady and her grandchildren due to knowing the faults and lieing to poor pensioner with altzhimers

Thought we would give it a go but regrets the moment we saw the place. To be fair the staff were lovely however the food was not at all good. The toilets should have been condemned and the restaurant closed down as it was dirty and just thoroughly tatty and disgusting.

Lovely curry, and welcoming friendly staff. Complimentary poppadoms made my night

Lovely food and even cater for gluten free, owner very pleasant and well mannered! Defo trys his best for his customers! Thank you 5 stars for your food and all your efforts

the food is so tasty especially the chicken tikka, chicken balti, nan. we love the ziggys food......

Over the last couple of months we have eaten here most Friday evenings and the food has never disappointed. The currys are lovely and prices are decent, Ziggy is such a nice bloke and has been so lovely to us and our son from our first visit. The only thing that disappointed me was the tandoori mixed grill which i had tonight for my main. Priced at £9.50 i dont think its worth the money portion wise (more like a sharing sized starter) although very tasty, i think it could maybe come with chips and a pickle tray for that price, but maybe thats just me. All round though an amazing place to eat, highly recommended!

Worst meal ever. Burnt nmixed grill. Nan breads flat and dry. Like they are made out of flour and water.

Great food when i went here. Ziggy has sold but still great Pakistani food

Ignore the previous reviews we order from here on a regular basis and the food is so tasty especially the pilau rice! Cheap on Just Eat with a discount and lovely filling food Keep up the excellent standard of food

Very out of a tin and not authentic at all. Can be a bit rowdy with the local knuckle draggers. Like most Asian food outlets poor

Only thing these guys can do is a curry, got a burger, one bite and the grease came pouring off my burger all over the place, absolutely discusting, called to complain only to receive threats of burning my house down

Takeaway was really nice me ,Andy and our sons George & harry enjoyed it will definitely be ordering from here again.

food really good,arrived quickly,definitely will use again

Quality food excellent customer service

Ordered a meat masala. Specifically asked it to be Desi style/spicy & saucy. The meat was undercooked, had no flavour, spice, or masala's at all whatsoever.. tasted like tomatoes and rubbery pieces of meat... Chapaties were thin & burnt in middle and outer rim's were thick and undercooked. Very dissapointing and an absolute waste of money. Pathetic

Not too bad We had a takeaway and myself had a nice mixed starter

Gone down hill since new management. No atmosphere, no warm welcome, a long wait for food and the chicken was rubbery and chewy.

1st time I’ve ordered from here and it’ll be the last time. Worst curry Iv had in a long time

The only positive thing I can say about this restaurant is that it is cheap. The food is either bland and tasteless or ferociously over spiced. Lots of salt too I think. I drank lots of water with my meal and afterwards but still awake wth a raging thirst this morning. The food is greasy and everyone said that theirs was served below the right temperature. The staff are indifferent. Service takes ages. The interior is about as unwelcoming as you could imagine. There is a smell of stale cooking oil. The lighting is harsh. It is cold. The decor would have looked dated in 1970 and is in a poor state of repair. It is not licensed to sell alcohol. The toilets are smelly and don't look clean. The claim that they are vegetarian friendly is dubious as there only a very small number of suitable dishes. I had a vegetarian dish which was served lukewarm. Friends who had meat/chicken dishes had difficulty identifying which part of the animal they were eating. The menu claims that the restaurant has a five star hygiene rating. I am not sure when it was thus rated but I suggest they would have difficulty achieving such a rating now. I may be wrong of course. According to Trip Advisor there are 68 outlets in the Halifax area selling this type of food. Ziggy's needs to make some urgent improvements unless they want to see that number reduce to 67.

It's very rare that I go for a night out in Halifax anymore but I have always ended the night with a meal at Ziggys.We went last night after the VIP opening of Yates, oh my what a huge mistake! Just awful ! Our food was shockingly bad. The pilau rice tasted sour, chicken in every dish had a very strange texture. The chapttis were thick and crispy! Shocking service and I had to wander into the kitchen to find anyone to get our bill! We waited nearly an our from ordering for what can only be described as the worst food and service I've ever had.Will never return.

YUK ! ordered 2 dishes for takeaway, 1x Chicken Balti and 1x Lamb Balti. Both dishes were different colours and tasted like thick beef gravy with the odd chillies.Last time we had something from here it had gone downhill, but stupidly i believed the Just Eat reviews.Both went in the bin and ended up having something out of the cupboard. Will not use these again,

food - fabulous-service - excellent, cleanliness - amazing.

I am afraid since Ziggy sold this Restaurant the food has gone down hill in a big way. We always order our take aways from here and the last 2 have been terrible, so we won't be ordering again from Ziggy's. it is a shame because they used to be one of the best in Halifax. My Partner ordered a Balti and he couldn't eat it, it was that hot !!! but the quality of the food was poor too. Definitely a NO NO!!!

Buffet has very limited choices for the price you pay for. A few Asian kids running around the kitchen, very unhygienic. We found a small bead in our food, they didn’t do anything for it, not even say sorry, blaming my teenage daughters instead which is ridiculous. My kids don’t wear any like the bead. Make me feel disgusted. Won’t go again ever.

My friends and I ate here last month after bowling in Halifax - it was the only place open but with hindsight I wish I had just gone hungry! We had the buffet & not only were the starters dried out, but there was hardly anything there (we ate at about 9.30 ish & apparently they serve food until 11pm so it wasnt to do with that!) The 'meat' in the mains was awful - small uniformly cubed bit of dried up chicken or whatever is was. The sauce was watery. The salads were soggy. All in all, a stomach turning experience. Would definitely not recommend. I don't know how they still retain their 4.5 stars on here when they serve this poor excuse for food to customers.

Unfortunately this was only place open late so we chanced it again. God it was awful. Chicken Dhansak was so hot it was inedible and the SALT! Lamb Bhuna was like a vindaloo. We left most of it. Pointed out what we thought, just got shrugged shoulders. We should have gone to Brighouse!!

Beautiful freshly prepared bursting with flavour food ...first time we've ordered take out from here but will be returning

My friend Ziggy has sold this restaurant to concentrate on other business interests. New owners! proud of you, food excellent and amazing service and friendliness. I am Kevin from the Far East, we came to your restaurant a couple of times, everybody said great food. Thank you

What the hell has happened to Ziggys? The last time we came here (which was a while ago) the food was lovely and the service was good, but now all standards seem to have gone out of the window. The service was slow and inattentive. The food was extremely spicy with no taste (my curry tasted like one of those jars of 'chip shop curry' sauce) and my partners food (which was also extremely spicy with no taste) was no better. They also brought out the starter at the same time as the mains which is a big no no in catering. We felt extremely rushed throughout the entire meal, and like the staff wanted us out of the way because they had booked up the resturant with famillies that were fasting for Ramadan. Don't waste your money eating here. There are better curry houses in the area with much better service. Lanika at the top of Halifax is far superior and definitely worth a visit. We will never step foot in Ziggys again. Avoid!

Awful! I don't understand how this place is still running. They bought the starter with the main course and didn't explain what was what. No communication, napkins etc... Overall left very unhappy. Won't be coming here again.

They started off ok but then cleared 3/4 plates and only brought 3/4 meals, had to ask for the missing one as everyone had finished. They then had the audacity to charge extra for payment on card.

Went for the all you can eat buffet and was very disappointed in what they had to offer, there were a few started chicken nibbles, bhaji, shami, sheikh kebabs and chicken tikka pieces. There was only 4 choices of curry all chicken not very tasty, rice,nan, soggy fries and chapati. ice cream and cheese cake thing.

This place has plummeted in quality, terrible curry and pizzas and the service is only marginally better - our change was left on the counter for us to collect on the way out!

Great food, Great prices, Highley recommended.

After 35 years of eating Ziggys thats the first time ever ive left a curry... so did my mate... sorry.

We were recommended to Ziggys as offering the best curry in Halifax. This may well be true - we have nothing to compare it to - but we were very disappointed. We were the only people there (about 8.30pm on a Saturday) so no atmosphere at all and they don't serve alcohol (maybe that is why it was empty?!!). The food and service were fine but nothing special. A disappointment and we would certainly not go back.

So happy I came here. I really enjoyed the food..service was fantastic. All in all a great night. Thank you so much best regards for the future.

The Food is gorgeous, portion sizes are great and the staff and lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Went to have dinner with family. The served Indian food were pathetic and tasteless however the staff were very good and friendly

Great place to grab a good old-school curry. Staff are great and friendly

Expensive (charged more than the menu prices), food average at best. Really gone down hill since Ziggy left. Not a single customer in when I visited, not surprised. Don't waste your time or money going.

I ordered one of their mixed kebabs, which turned out to be a big mistake. There was no meat to speak of at all, no salad and no yoghurt - just a selection of pap and grunge, clearly made from the cheapest possible ingredients with...

Awful service got barred for not getting my wages n now I'm not allowed to eat to this dodgy limited company nothing to do with ziggy anymore. What a sham

great people , amazing food love it

Good tasty food at a reasonable prices. A well run place and it's close to town with a taxi next door.

Visited today 28/08/2017 due to the Trip advisors reviews and I have to say the good and service were outstanding.I am very picky and particular about where and what I eat and I must say this place is lovely and the staff were friendly.You can...

Fantastic tasty food as always!!

I bought a take-away from this place last week. Very poor quality. The rice was flavourless, the main course was bland and very watery and the naan bread was of poor quality. Fortunately Halifax as a wide choice of such emporia so if you are...

Este es el único restaurante de alguna comida para llevar. Sólo descubrimos Ziggys hace un año, pero nunca ha faltado a favor. Tenemos ordenados en diferentes formas - por teléfono, en su sitio web y via JustEat, todas las cuales han sido entregadas a tiempo,...

Don't think I've gone to a buffet with such great service before

What appalling food won't buy from.hear again the meat was hard the nann bread was hard and stale and the...

Nunca he tenido un curry peor. Sosa, aguada y comestible. Nunca volveré a este restaurante. Ojalá pudiera escribir algo positivo, pero sinceramente, no se me ocurre ningún positivo.

I went to ziggys tonight for a treat meal was very disappointed we both ordered mixed starters the samosa wasn't cooked the pastry was raw when I complained the answer was "why what's wrong with it" no apology what's so ever. I got the chicken tikka Asian style which was processed chicken and so salty I couldn't eat it. And keema Nan with hardly any mince in it and it also tasted really strange. Won't be visiting again!

We used to come here every week until the new owners took over then we had to sit for over an hour listening to the owner argue with someone saying he was not willing to pay the £16,000 he owed them they then argued about solicitors being involved and after complaining twice and being told to mind my own business we left and will not be returning again

Great food and brilliant staff!

Great atmosphere very helpful staff . Main meal special masala. And others had starters and main and sweet from buffet. Going again soon ..

Good food at cheap prices. Clean inside.

Friendly Indian with decent food and a very nice host. Went in a wet Saturday night and he offers us fresh towels to dry ourselves off.

Eaten here several times & food has always been excellent Also had takeaways delivered & always arrived on time & very hot Would recommend to anyone who likes a good curry

I have been going to Ziggys over the years & it has always been a decent enough restaurant. But recently Ziggy has sold it on to someone else & the standard of food has really gone downhill.The drinks license has now gone so you have to take your own which seems odd for a town centre curry house?!?!!?Onto the meal. The starters were run of the mill sheikh kebab, no better or worse than your standard curry house. For the main course I had Chicken Balti & was horrified to get processed chicken (the stuff you get in those dreadful pre packed sandwiches) & the sauce was extremely bland too. Quite possibly the worst restaurant curry I have ever had in my life & I have been going to them for 35 years.Money wise it was reasonably priced, but that didn't include alcohol.Avoid at all costs as there are plenty more decent ones in Halifax!

We used to eat here every week until the new owners took over we had to sit and listen to the owner arguing with some one over money saying he would not pay the 16000 pounds he owed him and this went on for over an hour i complained twice and was told to mind my own business we will not be eating here again

Good value buffet, the food was fresh and tasty. Plenty of choice for meat eaters but not one single vegetarian dish which is unacceptable in this day and age. Luckily the staff were friendly and offered to make a veggie dish from scratch, but still it would have been nice to be able to choose from at least a couple of buffet dishes. Will definitely return but next time will give the buffet a miss.

Went for the buffet, best bit was leaving the place! £23 for 2 buffets and 2 cokes! Food crap no taste and chicken/meat cut up into tiny pieces with tasteless sauce!

Chicken madras was bloody awful, so much for good reviews, chicken like rubber in a gelatin source, go for Chinese in future!

Where do I start the starters was cold the main course was very bland taste to it the only nice thing was the nan bread Want be coming back soon

Excellent food and service highly recommended.

When I came into ziggys I thought I was in for an average curry but I was wrong. The food was really nice and the atmosphere was lovely. However the the waiters could be a bit more interactive with the customers but that's a minor problem that can be corrected.

The lamb chops, chicken kiraai and fish masalah were the best food just made fine. The restaurant caters for all people and families. Excellent customer service and food. Highly recommended to anyone.

Walked in beautiful ambience beautiful atmosphere dim lighting suited the building. Food,Food was perfect and well cooked. You could tell it was freshly prepared warm enough for your taste buds. Warm and friendly environment. Waiters and waitress very friendly,approachable,kind and well mannered. Most restaurants have nice food but their customer service is not brilliant. Fish tank in midddle looks great. All credit goes to the management of the place. Will be coming soon again and highly recommend

Not been to this place before - we enjoyed the buffet and the pizza was cooked perfectly. Ice cream & Halwa was a nice touch at the end. The owner also runs The famous Punjab in bradford

I recently visited with a group of 15-20 friends. The workers were polite and professional. Our food was bought out in a timely manner. Nice atmosphere to the place and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend

Excellent food and service. I highly recommend you try out. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back.

I've been there twice with my friends. Food was absolutely delicious. Lamb and chicken were fresh and tasty. So food 10 out of 10. The service was absolutely nice and really helpful. I'll be happy to visit Ziggys again despite even the ugly interior design which is not cost at all.

Went ziggys for the first time and it was absolutely amazing. The service was on point and the lamb was delicious. I would recommend this place 100% ,I would try the lamb and the halwa ice cream combo.

I was very happy with the standard of food that was served, not only was it fresh, it was delicious too! Everything was fresh and presented nicely. I had the starters along with the curries and pizza all of which were on point. Will defo agent be visiting again! 5stars xxxxx

ordered a takeaway from ziggys, chicken rogan josh , almost burnt my tongue and mouth out , over spiced , chapati was hard when i got home , not very good and totally disappointed .

Nice food been a few times nice variety and flavours. Not badly priced too. Staff were welcoming and friendly

Very nice restaurant nicely laid out, loved the relaxed atmosphere and great service.The menu is very good and the food itself was excellent couldn't ask for better.

The pizza and chicken dopiayaz and karaai king prawn was amazing and beautiful foods I have ever ate in Halifax. The customer service was excellent as the food was served on time and the staff were very friendly. They had many facilities to carter for customers like sitting in and eating. It had a beautiful environment. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to any person and they have special offers that I would go for as 15% off for parties that include about 10 people. Also, i have catered from them before and the food was delicious with being cooked right. I have had very good feedback from previous people who ate from the place. Highly recommended!

I have been to Ziggy,s the food was amazing. We ate from buffet the desert was gajerella sweet I never had it before dish that was amazing.The staff was very helpful & friendly I asked them about the new owner they were praising him. That he treats them well he looks after us and encouraging us to treat all of over customers to the best of our abilities.

Lovely meal and very quick delivery also I love staters thanks Ziggy for Perfect service and perfect food delivered on time as always I would recommended.

I had a nice curry here after a good night out. The new owners have stopped selling alcohol which didn't bother me but it might bother some people. Still, I would recommend

Ziggy has worked very hard to make everyone feel special and we are already noticing changes in the atmosphere and the service even though he still pops in to help. He is an amazing host and very lovely guy. My children are devastated that he has left. I did not feel the service was as good last time we were there as it is when Ziggy is around. Even the staff do not seem as happy or attentive. Hopefully this will go back to how it was soon.

Lovely food, lovely restaurant..good curry!! To say I'm not a curry person is true, but I had the chicken dopiaza from main menu, I didn't say how hot I wanted so just ate it as it was! Jesus to me it was hot and spicy but I finished it all even though it was bring a tear to my eyes haha!I would go back again as it was a good curry!

As to be the best place or food in halifax. The curries the pizzas and the staff are amazing. And the waitresses are a credit to the place.

I found this late at night as I was driving around looking for a curry house that was still open after 12am and didn't have 0-1 out of 5 on the Scores On The Doors website. Happily they were open until 1.30am and are rated 5/5. It's a little tatty looking but staff were incredibly friendly, quick and efficient, the food was tasty, inexpensive and prompt to arrive. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Great curry place. Nice atmosphere friendly.. food always lovely. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable place to eat with really tasty food and also very good service. Well worth a visit for a lovely meal.

Been twice first curry too spicy second like water. Have been advised to go both times and have not been impressed. We were a party of ten the second time and only 1 person didn't have complain won't be going third time.

Went to Ziggy's for our regular monthly Ladies night and as always had a wonderful time. The food is wonderful, but a good night out is made up of so many other things. We always feel pampered there, Ziggy is always around making customers so welcome and we are never rushed. We went for 7:30 and didn't leave until gone 12. So sad that Ziggy will not be there anymore. He is a big part of making the dining experience so exceptional

I meet with friends once a month at Ziggys and it is sad that our genial host will no longer be around. All our visits we have had delicious food both from the menu and buffet, and not once been disappointed. Thank you Ziggy and all your staff over these last few years for your fantastic, friendly service, and hopefully your successor will carry on with the high standards you have. Good luck in your new venture and your personality will be very much missed

Ordered from here tonight, one hour wait for delivery and then it turns up, kebab looks uncooked and is crunchy and pale, chicken tikka curry overpriced and tastes like a supermarket curry, chips are all black and very overpriced! Definitely won't be ordering again.

Excellent food & excellent host.

Always had a good experience eating at Ziggy's. After a night out, a meal out or a takeaway its always been great. Ziggy has become a positive part of the community and is always a good host. Recently used Just Eat with Ziggy's and that was great too and the restaurant rang ahead to check the details making Just Eat and easy option, one that has been a pain with previous takeaways. I recommend Ziggy's for good food and good company he's always treated myself and partner well!

Tried Indian food and loved it. Service was good and satisfied with the price. Out of 9 friends couple of them complained of curry being little spicy and little cold for them, otherwise the restaurant is good to give a try.

I went back to Ziggys after what must have been 15 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the new decor. However the food wasn't up to scratch, we all chose the buffet. The food was Luke warm at best. The various dishes were just ok nothing special, the deserts were lovely though. Next time we go we will be eating from the menu only.We did have a lovely welcome and all the staff were very pleasant.

Good people, nice food amazing place

We visited twice during our stay in Halifax.This is a very pleasant restaurant. Excellent relaxed service and generous portions at a reasonable price. We had the buffet and some took the option of choosing from the menu.Nice choice of drinks.Thoroughly recommended.

we popped in for a quick bite as the traffic to get home was terrible. We were not disappointed as the food and service was amazing. We have been a few times before but not regulars but the welcome we received made us feel like were.great food, I had the menu and the missus had the buffet.
