   Poppadoms were stale. Had to send them back. Asked for fresh ones. They brought more to the table 5 seconds later.. low and behold.... Stale... Sent those back.. ordered a glass of coke which stated £2:50 on menu.. bill came and they charged me £4:50.. saying I had a large, which they don't have on the menu.. it just reads 'glass of coke'... Also it was cheap flat coke.. service is terrible and very rushed.. don't give you a chance to relax.. bringing peoples main courses out when they haven't even finished their starters.. oh also the naan bread was not freshly made, had definitely been sat around a while..

   When we arrived, we were sat by the door, meaning that anytime someone entered or left we got a blast of freezing cold air from outside. That really wasn't pleasant. The internal front door doesn't shut properly either, so this was something that proved a bit of an issue. The food was very tasty with a good selection of dishes. However, there is no mention on the menu of which dishes contain things such as gluten, instead saying to ask your server. Unfortunately, the servers didn't seem to understand the questions being asked of them, so we had to wing-it. The prices are good for the food, but I would only really go for takeaway, and then only once allergens are noted against the dishes on the menu.

   We visited The Spice on 12/9/24 and were a large group. The service was superb. Very welcoming and friendly throughout. We were made to feel valued. The food was exceptional. Everyone one of our group said their dishes were great. Can't fault the place. Would happily return again.

   Travelled 20 Miles to sample this restaurant, but finished up Disappointed ! Some of the food was Cold, and the onions were Stringy and not cooked through properly! If Reviews state that this is The Best In Basingstoke! The Mind Boggles !!

   We normally go to a different Indian but thought we would try this one. It was very quiet on the day we went and the food was 'just ok', nothing special. It was also very expensive for what you got. What upsets me the most is that despite it being quiet and us spending almost £100 for 3 people, we never received a free complimentary drink at the end of our meal but there was a table of 2 there at the same time and they got these complimentary drinks? How does that make sense? We found it very rude as the other restaurants we have been too always give these drinks out at the end. I really wish I had not tipped now as this action left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be visiting again or recommending to anyone.

   It was second visit to the Spice Restaurant and once again I was not disappointed. The food and the service was superb. I had the lamb tikka and pilau rice, while my mother tried the spiced special curry, and my spouse had the lamb Malaya. The spiced special curry was a mixture of meats (chicken, lamb, kebab). I was able to sample both of their dishes, and they mine, we all agree that all of the dishes were delicious. For drinks, we choose the cobra beer which complemented the food perfectly. The server was good. I'm sorry I was unable to get his name but he treated us well both times. I was a bit troublesome with my spice request but he was able to satisfy my request of Hot! Hot! hot!. The restaurant is cosy, the seats are a bit too close to each other but beyond that my experience at this restaurant has been remarkable. I will definitely recommend.
