Today I ordered the Lamb Tikka and as a special treat, a glass of Merlot which I believe is from Old Coach Road Nelson.

I really enjoyed the Lamb Tikka which was tasty, tender and not too spicy for me. I seldom eat meat or drink wine so this was an exceptional occasion to try something new for me. The lamb did go really nicely with the Merlot which I found was a pleasant red wine, not too sweet. The portion size of the main was very generous at $18 (Jan 2019) with ten large pieces of lamb in a succulent tomato marinade, served with capsicum and onions as well as a little cole slaw and a light creamy dipping sauce with fresh mint in it. The capsicum and onions were really excellent, being just cooked so still very crispy and juicy. It also came with a very large bowl of perfectly done basmati rice. I was very satisfied with my dining experience and will be back to try a curry next time on the ten dollar curry night! There are a large range of curries to choose from including vegetarian (as well as meats like chicken, lamb or beef) , which all look excellent so I may try the vegetarian one! Thank you to all the friendly and hardworking people at Indian Spice for a...

I can’t believe that other reviewers have eaten at the same place I did. I have eaten Indian food all over the world and this was one of the worst. The lamb Madras was some pieces of unidentifiable meat cooked in tomato ketchup with a bit of chillie thrown in, the dahl tasted like it had added Bisto, the onion bhaji was mostly instant bhaji mix with not enough onion and the vegetable samosa should really have called itself a potato samosa. Most alarming of all, we specifically asked the waitress whether the vegetable curry was sweetened as my wife is diabetic and must not consume sugar. We were assured that it was not sweetened. When it arrived it was obviously sweetened and therefore inedible. Presumably, it is cooked in some sauce straight out of a jar and the staff don’t actually know what’s in it. Similarly, the tamarind sauce tasted like brown sugar mixed with water with a little tamari added. Absolutely dreadful. ...

Very disappointed ☹️ I had never been here before until last night. I ordered Butter Chicken and a cheese and garlic naan. I shared this with my children and we all were very disappointed! The rice wasn't cooked properly, there was barely any chicken, the sauce didn't taste anything like an authentic butter chicken sauce, my son and I agree the sauce put us right off, it was disgusting. The naan barely had any cheese and was quite burnt. If I could give no stars I would. I will never be ordering from there again which is unfortunate because had it been good, it would have become a regular family favourite close to home. The only compliment I can give was the customer service from the lady at the front taking the orders. I paid $24.40 which is quite expensive for such a disappointing meal. What a shame the standard of the food didn't match the...
