Herb & Spice — Restaurant in Tameside

Main curries should be served as desserts!!!

First time visiting and ordered takeaway.

Ordered paneer pakora, fish pakora (no onion), jeera chicken (no onion), paneer tikka masala, pilau rice (no onion) and roti.

Got home only to find the pilau rice had onions so we went back and they made another one.

Now to the food, being Asian, I know a thing or 2 about Asian food.

Firstly, the paneer pakora and fish pakora were oily to the point we could see the oil if we pressed ever so lightly

Now the curries, being an avid fan of paneer tikka masala usually made by cooking onions, tomatoes, garlic and all the spices then blitz in a food processor and then reduced down in a pan so it becomes a thick paste to which you add cream and a few more spices. For some reason it looks like they added at least 2 to 3 table spoons of sugar. Same with the jeera chicken. It was far far far too sweet and not what a curry should taste like which is full of flavour and a slight kick (even if you order a mild dish. Mild means, dont add chillies when cooking down the onions and tomatoes NOT ADD SUGAR.

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

There are far better restaurants in the area, especially if you want proper home cooked...

Nice tasty food with only a small wait for them to be brought to you.

Only 1 beer on draught Cobra and a very small choice of drinks in terms of prosecco, rose, wine etc.

Prices not bad, not cheap and no offers like others in the area offer like 3 courses for £15 etc.

Very poor poppadoms, clearly been in the microwave and we're burnt.

Went Saturday night and was surprisingly quiet with only a few people there.

Would recommend but will next time go for the Sunday buffet option instead...

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The management and staff are very attentive, I have an allergy to food colouring and they always go out of their way to help and make sure everything is perfect. It is good to see that they know what is in their food and are proud to offer an alternative which is always made fresh by their talented Chef. Highly rate this place for authentic food that isn't rushed, each dish tastes different and you can tell the ingredients are sourced for quality...
