We called in to try Birchwood Spice last night before going to the cinema, and we were both really impressed with the service but especially the food. We've been to many of the Indian Restaurants in Warrington over the years, some have impressed, some have disappointed, but Birchwood Spice definitely impressed! Right from the starters we knew that this was quality cooking - the vegetable samosas were the best we've tried, and the quality (and flavour) continued in the main courses. This is proper Indian cuisine that focuses on blends of spices and fresh flavours over heat and is priced as such, previously we've had to travel into Culcheth to enjoy food like this but no more, we will definitely be making Birchwood Spice our regular Indian Restaurant from now on, and we already can't wait to try more dishes of the menu. They are still in their opening week, so are obviously keen to impress, but if the quality and taste of the food continues there is no reason why this can't become a destination restaurant and earn a reputation of one of the best Indian Restaurants in Warrington...
Update: Since Google asked for an update I will oblige. I can confirm that several years on it is as good if not better than when they first opened. We have never had a disappointing meal and it is as good as any fine dining Indian you'll find in Warrington. The lamb dishes in particular are very good and they even do Donner meat and chips now if you fancy junk food on your way home from the pub (but not donner meat like you've ever tasted it is Indian style and delicious). It really is a jewel in the area as demonstrated by the public outcry and campaign when it was nearly forced to close due to the pub lease expiring, in the end the brewery gave the lease to Birchwood Spice directly, which says a lot. It's a great pub, a great restaurant, and a great take away and Gorse Covert is lucky...
Read moreIf I could give zero stars then I would. After reading reviews and getting recommendations from people we were really looking forward to having a takeaway from here. After a 40 minute round trip to collect we were extremely disappointed to find that our order was incorrect and then the rest of the meal was not up to scratch! The majority of it went in the bin. Called up straight away to inform them the order was wrong and was told they would get the manager to call me within the hour as it was busy!! Someone called me to refund the price of the starter but it wasn’t the manager as he was probably watching the football, he was shouting instructions on what to say to the guy who actually called me. We will never be visiting this place again not only was the food poor quality but I was under the impression there was still some Covid restrictions meant to be in place?? This place was packed with no social distancing in place and nobody wearing masks at all. Ruined meal and evening. Don’t waste your...
