About Spice Restaurant
Spice Restaurant serves Indian food at 103 High St in Ilford, opening in the evenings and trading daily. The kitchen turns out biryani and chicken tikka alongside curries and naan bread, and mango lassi is poured on request even though it is not printed on the menu. Orders can also leave the building, with collection or delivery, including through Uber Eats, for anyone eating at home, and the restaurant can be phoned directly to place an order. Reservations are recommended for the dining room, which takes on groups and family occasions such as birthdays. High chairs are on hand for families with young children, and a step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance makes the room reachable for visitors with mobility needs. Parking is available outside.

Customer Review Summary
Food quality is what draws most of the praise, with one takeaway order of biryani and chicken tikka singled out for generous portions and flavour, and others calling it the best Indian they have had and a go to for years. Close behind is the welcome: several describe the staff as friendly and quick, one notes the owner circling to check everyone is happy, and another says their child was well looked after. Delivery is repeatedly described as arriving on time. The complaints are substantial, though. One couple describes curries as watery, naan as oily and a yogurt sauce as off, and says the phone response to the complaint was rude. Another reports being unable to get a refund on a delivery app order and finding staff unhelpful when calling. A long time regular writes that their rating fell from four stars to one over staff attitude and abrupt rudeness. One reviewer recommends the mango lassi, which is not on the menu and comes in pint sizes.

“The food is absolutely amazing and it came quick. The staff was extremely friendly and answered any questions I had about the dishes. It’s been my goto Indian for almost 4 years now and they also deliver which is always on time.”
- marc trevillion
“disgusting food delivered Very unhelpful when I called to complain. I will never order from here again. Ordered through Uber eats. Having no joy getting a refund. It’s not fair that you have to pay first, and then get a load of rubbish delivered and no powers to complain or get a refund You have been warned N”
