Spice Minister — Restaurant in England

One of the best restaurants and hidden gems that I have ever come by when it comes to their hospitality and service. Upon entry I was greeted with a smile and the people at reception were very welcoming. The owners, Sam and Mashud always went above and beyond in making sure that I was comfortable and ensured that I was tended to even before ordering my food.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere gives off warmth and ambience with the quite wooden accent and feel. It’s simplistic yet natural design fused with a contemporary theme allows you to wind down and settle in quickly, particularly after a hectic day at work.

Service: the service provided is excellent and the owners go out of their way to tend to you and see that you are comfortable. They helped answer any questions I had regarding the menu and helped suggest to me the food that went according to my palate at the time.

Food: the food menu is predominantly comprised with subcontinental themed foods and had - in combination - 200 or so dishes to choose from. The food I had - Beef Moja Buhna and Pilau Rice was/is fabulous and delicious and the consistency and spice ratio was on point, the price is also reasonable for all their dishes and worth it. Their Naan bread, and the types it comes with (Peshwari, Garlic, keema, cheese to name a few) are well made and always made fresh. The chefs also were very nice and made sure to cook the food with efficiency and did not take long to prepare it. The menu caters to a range of dietary options including vegetarian selections and foods are classified as to what allergens they may contain. Additionally, having looked through their website the interface is very user friendly and the menu is assorted in a way to make it easy to order through.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant whether you are in the area, driving by or dining with family/friends. Thank you very much Sam, Mashud and...

Had such a fantastic dinner here last night. Can’t stop thinking about it. Rarely feel this compelled to write a review.

We over-ordered as planned on having leftovers today, but it was so good, we ate the lot! My partner and I are both curry snobs so it’s rare we find a dish we both love, let alone every single dish on the table (chicken chilli masala, Nawabi, lamb biriyani, saag paneer, onion bahji, lamb samosa and peshwari naan). Everything was so tasty and the right level of spice - hot, but didn’t blow your brains out. Even the biriyani curry, which can be a bit hit and miss in a lot of places, could have been a standalone dish in itself!

Staff also so so lovely and couldn’t have done enough for us.

We stumbled across this purely as we are visiting for a friends wedding in Hereford, but are already planning on coming back again. Haven’t had a curry this good in years. Thoroughly...

It was my first time visiting Hereford and I was recommended to visit Spice Minister. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by a very friendly waiter. Later, I found out that his name is Shojib. He gave us a couple of recommendations, which I found to be 100% correct. From there, I chose a couple of dishes such as the Chicken Tikka Biriyani, the Kadhai Lamb and a plethora of flavourful dishes.

The food tasted very authentic and reminded me of my childhood. From the simplicity of the decor, to the authenticity of the food. Inquisitively, I requested the waiter to give my thanks to the chef. He explained to me that he was an award-winning chef and his name is Omar Masud.

The menu is quite elaborate, but obviously next time I visit Spice Minister, I'll be sure to try something new as it all seems very tasty. I highly recommend anyone to visit Spice Minister and dive in into this...
