Deep Dive

A deep dive into Spice Tandoori

This place was. . . not good. We were lured in by the good smells from outside the restaurant but we were all of us deceived.Immediately when you enter and start looking at the menu, you will notice that the entire waitstaff working during that shift appears to be assigned to your table, as well as everybody else’s. Around every 45 seconds, some waiter will come to your table and ask if you’re ready to order and you’ll feel very rushed. Once you do order, they won’t even stop coming to your table so you can have a peaceful conversation with your company. I had the feeling the waitstaff was pressured by the management to appear busy at all times. It’s almost as if they were overstaffed. Then the food came. To be honest, I wish it was bland, because my chicken must have had a 1/2 cup of sugar in the sauce. My wife’s chicken tikka masala was bright, vibrant neon red, and the pilau rice was just food coloring with no evident seasoning. You can kind of tell individual grains of rice are dyed. The naan was good, but to be honest that would be pretty hard to mess up. At least the view out the window was pretty.

One of the worst restaurants I’ve tried in the UK. I wouldn’t even call this an Indian restaurant. It’d be a compliment giving it anything higher than 1 star. The chicken tikka, they claimed to be marinated for 12 hrs and cooked in a tandoor, was abhorrent in reality, it was rubbery, filled with oil, as if they just threw it with spices into oil and cooked it. (The chicken tikka was rubbery, and had a thick band of oil deep inside of it) The Lamb Korma was artificially sweetened, had 0 flavors whatsoever, and the only thing you could taste was the dairy and sugar (I literally had pieces of unmixed sugar in my mouth). The veggies were under seasoned and under cooked. Everything was eaten solely out of a compulsion to not waste food, but we couldn’t continue and had to leave it. We complained at the beginning but the waiter just said that this is how it is. The manager came at the end, refused to do anything about it, especially when he brought the staff member who we talked to at the start. He continued arguing claiming that everything is cooked just like the menu states.

Spice Tandoori in Fort William is an Indian restaurant of reasonable quality, in a very convenient and central location. I ate here when I visited town for work. On a first impression, it presents as one of the most stylish and contemporary eateries in the area. It also has a great view over the water from the main dining area. The service was fine, but not particularly friendly. I think they were unimpressed that I was dining alone and as a punishment for that I was assigned to the table facing the wall, when other options were clearly available. Staff were not friendly in any identifiable way when I was ordering or paying my bill, either. The quality of food was relatively good. I've had better curry, but I've also had worse. The flavours were not exceptional, but there was nothing to complain about either. Prices are fair, and I didn't feel that I paid too much for what I ordered.

Absolutely horrendous experience with the food. Being an Indian I know what I’m ordering. I ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala and it was cooked in a tomato based gravy as compared to what is mentioned in their menu (Yogurt Based Gravy - Check Menu) also the gravy was bland and had coconut powder instead of Almond powder which is again in contradiction to what is mentioned in their menu. When I called their manager, he started to argue saying what I order was sweet and simply failed to understand that I was looking for a yogurt based gravy and not tomato based gravy. Never visiting again and also recommending all Desi’s to not visit it as they are absolutely horrible.

So good! I went with a group of 5 and we were immediately seated. Other restaurants and long wait times due to probably better “reviews.” This place was fantastic. Water side views if you’re fortunate to be by the windows. Service was quick, professional, and answered all our questions. The spice was milder than described but all dishes were excellent. Most of us had a variety of chicken dishes and naan along with pilau rice. I also had coffee and the toffee desert…. AMAZING. This place has something for everyone. Give it a chance even though it only has a handful of reviews. The restaurant is upscale and clean.

After reading some very mixed reviews, we were undecided where to eat. TBF, the reviews for everywhere up here (Fort William to Inverness) seem quite low. We took the plunge and visited anyway. The decor seem to match 95% of other Indian restaurants we've visited and appeared to be clean and well kept. The food arrived in reasonable time and was all piping hot and of a good quality. Service could be slightly better, but is no worse than a good many other resteraunts. Based on our experience we'd certainly visit again without hesitation next time we are up this way.
