Spice Garden — Restaurant in Bury

Valentines night and high hopes of good food based on others reviews. We had seating upstairs which sounded great. We have been before last year but it always is a bit hit and mis on the food! My husband booked it so I went with the flow but not my first choice. We were shown to our table by a lovely waiter. Attentive and smiley. It felt cold so I took my coat off and put it around my shoulders. Thinking it probably needed to warm up yet. The heating did not come on all through our meal. Other people made comments between them selves and said how cold it was inside! My husband told me I would be better with food inside me. Ok he is probably right but when we finally finished the meal and I could put my coat on I was relieved! We went to another bar to get warm. The meal order at The Spice Garden got messed up and they brought a beef and a chicken dish instead of my husband’s beef and my choice had been the salmon. I don’t eat meat just fish now and again. The waitress was lovely and apologised saying yes it was put through as salmon. I just ate noodles whilst I waited. No fuss or stress. The salmon came but the salty strong sauce over powered it. Was a bit nasty and dry. The wine was nice though ! The staff were lovely. The decor is nice. Good to be out with my hubby after busy weeks at work! But would I recommend The SpiceGarden? No definitely not unfortunately! It’s a shame as I would like to say it was worth the money as it’s...

So.... The Spice Garden in Rammy is a tad over committed tonight... Waiting with my fellow take away colleagues, that is slowly growing in number.... 30 minutes in now... Hearing terms like "no more takeaways, the kitchen can't cope" .... Have to say, the place does lovely food, but they have over committed and under managed the situation... Zero communications.... I'm so for supporting local business, but I'm far from impressed..... Additional, I'm still here... 45 minutes in, staff swearing at others in the kitchen now, tad chaotic.... Extremely unprofessional, staff are doing their best but with no managerial support from what I can see, what chance have they... But I expect I'll be back at some point when they have sit in dining back... At least I can have a beer while my food takes the long...

I am at a genuine loss as to how this place gets so many good reviews!!! There is absolutely nothing authentic about the what can only be described as a horrendous attempt at Thai cooking. No fresh ingredients... chililies come in powder form... shocking!!!! My "stir fry" dish looked more like a bowl of dirty dishwater broth .... totally un edible the attempt at sticky rice was again horrific... tasted as if had been bulk cooked days prior & was then microwaved to the point where you could actually put windows out with it!!! Yes sone of the staff are Thai... but the chef certainly is not... perhaps a trip to Thailand & some cooking lessons is what's needed!!! For those that know Thai food ... trust me this neither "street or Royal" M&S do a fantastic new...
