House of Spice Bethlehem — Restaurant in Bay of Plenty

Fantastic food and exemplary service EVERYTIME! As my family and I love Indian cuisine, having experienced dishes from all parts of India, we try different places wherever we are travelling. When I am home in Tauranga, I ALWAYS return to House of Spice. We eat in and have take aways regularly - at least 2 or 3 times a month. They never disappoint! I have seen one or two negative reviews and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have eaten at ALL the restaurants in Tauranga and can honestly say the quality and complexity of the food is exactly what I would expect from genuine Indian food. The service cannot be faulted - I never have to wait more than a minute or two to either be served or at least acknowledged. Some of the other restaurants can learn a thing or two from them, the atmosphere is awesome too. I have had almost every vegetarian/vegan meal on their menu and my family have tried most of the meat dishes so we know exactly what we are getting AND they cook the dish exactly how I ask for it - Indian hot, which is not only tasty but does not have the acidic after taste I normally get from some of the other...

★★★★★ Amazing Experience at House of Spice!

We recently celebrated our friend’s son’s birthday at House of Spice in Bethlehem, Tauranga, and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The restaurant has a beautiful, authentic ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The premises are spotless and well-maintained, adding to the overall charm.

From 1 star 6 yrs ago to 4 stars now. Just ate a takeaway Indian Style, med hot, Butter Chicken with Naan for lunch. Wow, everything was delicious. Ill be back

----------------------------------------1 Sorry to give you such a negative rating as I’m very keen to support local businesses and hope that they do well BUT seriously the food here is very average.

We have got takeaways a number of times during the last 4 years and each time I say never again, this time I mean it. It’s worse than food hall Indian. Full of way to much sugar, colours too bright to be real, the spices and flavours are not complex at all, the quality of the food is just not good, well at least to my palate.

I suggest your cook eats at India Today in Tauranga for some ideas on quality, delicious, complex...
