Spice Cottage — Restaurant in South Norfolk

I am only putting 1 star as I am unable to not put any stars During this pandemic businesses are struggling yet takeaway businesses are allowed to operate. Spice cottage being a restaurant is not allowed to operate as one due to the restrictions. One would like to hope that more concentration and effort could be put into their delivery service. At the time of writing this I am now on the 3 hour and still waiting. Every time I have called I am fobbed off by the restaurant personnel with “30min sir “ Absolutely disgraceful I only hope it tastes good when I finally receive my order. (Review will follow on standard of food) I am currently what is known as H”angry” Following up 21.18pm I finally received my order!! Well all I can say is this , those poor delivery drivers who’s put in the firing line of dissatisfied customers as a result of restaurant managers making false promises to over deliver , when all That actually do is under deliver.

The takeaway I ordered from Spice Cottage tonight was a perfect example of the rubbish that it seems normal to serve nowadays. I ordered a Chicken Jaipuri...

I ordered pilau rice but what we got was just plain boiled rice. Even the papadoms were stale. Please guys, raise your standards! this food is embarrassing. A little bit of authenticity and care would be much...

So dissapointed, we attended for a post lockdown engagement celebration with my parents. First of all no one greeted us then we found out there were no highchairs available, we dealt with this but we were then sat for around 15 minutes before we were even given a menu. Then about another 15 to actually order. We were immediately made to feel like having our children with us was an inconvenience even though they were well behaved. The food was nice but the service was dreadful. Though interestingly enough they quickly bought the bill over to us no trouble! There were two other tables in this restaurant, it was 6pm when we sat down and we tried to keep the noise level to a minimum which was difficult with so much waiting. I don't expect to be served immediately but the service was lacking and made us feel incredibly unwelcome and...
