Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to 1 Spice for its curries, with the Dhansak singled out as rich, tangy and perfectly spiced, served with fluffy pilau rice and fresh onion sides. Close behind, diners praise the Modhu Duck, the Lamb Adrak and the Tandoori Delight, and one calls the naans the best in Devizes. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, helpful and welcoming, with one server who introduced himself and shook hands, and another reviewer who never felt forgotten and found orders and drinks prompt. Several describe a lively, nearly full room where conversation stays easy, and a few are longtime regulars who say the meal was better than before. The one recurring complaint is pace: a three-star reviewer found the food only OK, said mains took too long to arrive and felt takeaway orders were prioritised over dine-in tables. Another reviewer called the food merely okay, though friendly staff made them willing to return. Many finish with a draught Kingfisher beer alongside shared sides and popadoms with condiments.

“We had a delightful evening meal here tonight. We have eaten here many times but tonight we both had the best meal we've ever eaten there. I had the Modhu Duck and my husband had the Lamb Adrak and couldn't fault anything. Staff were warm and welcoming and the gentleman that was serving us couldn't do more, he was helpful and polite, even introduced himself and shook our hands. Lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff. Food highly recommended. It wasn't full up but there were plenty of people and noise being made but you could easily enjoy a normal conversation on your own table, its nice to hear others enjoying their time there too.”

“Wonderful food that was flavorful and filling, amazing and friendly service, never felt like we were forgotten or had to always grab they're attention and they were extremely prompt with our orders and drinks when we wanted them. Would highly recommend for people who want a lovely atmosphere, amazing food and brilliant customer service. Was a pleasure eating there and will certainly be going there again :)”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful — better than ever! Back at this lovely Indian restaurant in Devizes after five years, and it was every bit as wonderful as I remembered — if not better! Walking in felt like coming home — such a warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, and the food was absolutely stunning. 🤤 I had the Dhansak — perfectly spiced, rich, tangy and full of deep, beautiful flavour — exactly how it should be. Served with fluffy pilau rice, fresh onion sides, and all the classic extras — every single part of the meal was spot on. Proper authentic cooking, made with care and pride. 🍛❤️ What a joy to find it even better than it was five years ago. If you’re in Devizes, you simply have to visit — wonderful food, wonderful staff, wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back! 🙌 10/10 — highly, highly recommended! 🌟”

“Food OK but service sadly lacking. Mains take too long to arrive. They seem to prioritise takeaways.”
