The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

Really warm and welcoming restaurant, I have used Mardi Spice for over 16 years and can honestly say, their food is fantastic, cooked to your liking. Highly recommend them.

Good value, reasonable prices. Generous pickle tray with the poppadoms. We'll worth a visit.

Food as always beautiful, Super friendly and always a welcoming atmosphere

Good selection from menu to choose from and a great service

Would like money back in credit please it was cold and the rice was not pilau

I had never been to this place before and only stumbled across it due to them giving away furniture. So I messaged the ad on Facebook and asked if what I was after was still available and was told to go down between 9am and 12pm. Which I did. I got there for 9am. The manager/owner wasn't in yet and after the staff called him, I was told he would be there in 5 minutes. The staff were lovely and offered me a drink while I was waiting. After half an hour and a few phone calls from the staff, he finally arrives. I explained again what I was there for and was actually laughed at. After a bit of discussion, he told me to take the chair and pointed to one next to a main eating his breakfast (I'm so sorry if that man is reading this). The whole cafe was looking at me at this point. I was then left to try and get the chair through the doors without help. Honestly, one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I was made to feel so small just from responding to a Facebook ad... I can honestly say I will never be returning to this place to put money in that man's pocket. Such a rude person! If I hadn't been made to wait half an hour I think I would have just walked out without the chair. If the manager/owner reads this. Maybe make it clear what your ad is advertising and try being on time when you give a time to someone else. Your manners could do with improving too!

Originally predicted an hours wait but after calling Padpad restaurant the delivery was with us within half an hour 🥳

A friend booked us a table here after reading Mark Budd’s review a few months ago. All I can say is his review was accurate! Would definitely go again

Wow! What a fantastic Experience. Very accommodating as we had not booked a table, the food was unbelievable, management and staff at the top of their game 10-10. Can’t wait to return, Highly recommended

Good customer service and staff

The food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend the lamb chops! Lovely atmosphere and I really enjoyed eating here with my family. Already plan to eat here again as food was very tasty

I ordered food for collection, and although it was ready in 25 minutes, it was mid at best. The pakoras (4) were soggy and unimpressive by the time they got home. The chicken tikka biryani was also a little disappointing. The rice had almost no flavour. The chicken was tasty but there wasn’t much of it. The vegetable curry was okay, but still uninspired. Overall the biryani was lacking in flavour and underwhelming. I’m a little disappointed, I’ll probably go elsewhere for an Indian takeaway next time.

The Spice Room is now closed and the building is up for sale.

I ordered a meal from here based on favourable TA reviews. I suspect none of the reviewers had the misfortune to sample the lamb dishes. The order arrived promptly, and the flavoured rice, curry sauce and veg were good but the meat was another story. The lamb was 40% gristle and connective material and all of the " meat " was so tough it could only be cut with a steak knife. When inspected it was grey in colour, clearly it had been pre and overly cooked some time in advance, and reheated in the sauce. All went in the bin a total waist of money. I haven't bothered to complain to the restaurant as this dish did not happen by accident, but as a result of poor ingredients and cooking practices. Maybe the chicken would of been a better choice, I shall never know. You only have one chance to making a first impression and the Little Indian Restaurant certainly achieved that.

Great food and value at this takeaway - a family run business that always offers a warm welcome and excellent food - every time
