Bombay Spice Indian Restaurant & Take Away — Restaurant in Torrevieja

Having a holiday home in the area, we decided to give these a try seeing as they are local, and based on the better than average reviews. We ordered a take away and were impressed at the fact that they offer a delivery service, where as most other competitors do not. We received the order quite punctually, and upon emptying the bag, i noticed the decorative boxes in which the food came in. Sadly that's the only positive i have to give in this review.

As for the food......well, it was simply the worst Indian meal we have ever had. In Spain, or at home. The pilau rice, although colourful, was bland and tasteless. It was not cooked with any spices at all, and had no aroma.

The curries were also bland and tasteless. They had no spices and no hotness to them, and the sauce was watery, which to me indicates that a freezer and a microwave had been involved in it's preparation. They contained very few ingredients other than the chicken and sauce. In fact, i would go as far to say that visually, it was like the curry sauce you would expect when ordering a portion of chips from the chippy and asking for curry with it, only no where near as good! I could of done better myself, and do, and i can buy frozen curries from Tesco which are far superior.

The naan bread was small and the garlic and herbs on it were charred black, which in turn was reflected in the taste.

To call it Indian food would be insulting to Indians, and there are far better establishments in the immediate area. I would not feed the food to my cat, and i am amazed that they have a rating of 4.4/5. To top it off, they failed to deliver the promised free bottle of wine despite spending way over the minimum 20 euros.

Maybe they had a bad day? Maybe they had a very very bad day. But we will not be ordering again to find out.

Much better (and cheaper) out there. It's a shame as i want to speak positively about local establishments, i sadly can't...

I've eaten a lot of Indian food in my life. Much of it was a poor reflection of an extensive and varied cuisine. This is one of the best I've been to, the kitchen has a true understanding of spices and how to use them. It was a very enjoyable meal served by nice caring people. Treat your taste buds to some proper Indian food, it's...

My experience here, after using this place as a mediocre takeaway all year round, walked in with granddaughter (7) only to be abused and embarrassed by front of house man who usually does not work there ( maybe him being there is why they were empty on a Sunday night mid July) well will never go back will always go places that...
