  “Even the kids think this is the best Resturant in the country. Atmosphere and ambience prefect for a Curry House - no wired music but instead contemporary and in keeping with modern twist on the classic English Curry house. Highly recommended. Cool light bulbs !”

  “Maybe we were hungry and exhausted, maybe not. But this food, has been the best Indian food I've ever had, and I had a lot. The lamb tikka shashlik and the Dupiazana are highly recommended. I'm sad we have to leave tomorrow, otherwise I'd be back the next day! In case you haven't booked in advance, you might have to wait a short amount of time.”

  “I had an excellent dining experience at Lakeland Spice. Without a doubt, it serves some of the best Indian food in town. Every dish was fresh, full of flavour, and prepared to a very high standard. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The waiters were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The atmosphere was warm, vibrant, and enjoyable, creating a great dining experience. Despite the restaurant being very busy due to its popularity with visitors, the staff remained calm, courteous, and highly professional at all times. Their commitment to excellent customer service was evident throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Lakeland Spice to anyone looking for outstanding Indian cuisine, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience. I will certainly be returning.”

  “We went in here tonight for a pre theatre meal. We had a series of starters and a main course all brought out together which we asked for and it was no problem. The food was outstanding. The flavours, texture and everything cooked to perfection..I cannot wait to return. Best Indian cuisine I have ever had. Thank you Lakeland spice”

  “If you’re in the Keswick area, this place is definitely worth visiting. The Madras Paneer was honestly one of the best curries we’ve had in the UK — full of flavour, rich, and really memorable. Just a small heads-up: it’s proper Indian spicy, so if you’re not used to spice, you may want to choose something milder. We loved it though. The naan was fresh and delicious too. The whole experience was great from start to finish. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and very welcoming throughout. It’s clearly a popular spot and gets busy, so I’d recommend booking a table in advance to avoid waiting. Overall, really good food, excellent service, and a great ambience. We’ll definitely be coming back whenever we’re in Keswick again. Highly recommend!”

  “The food tastes good.. Not complaining but food is not as per native Indian standards. mostly customized for UK people. So keep expectations as that.”

  “I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When we arrived, there were clearly tables available, yet the front-of-house staff refused to seat us and asked us to wait 35 minutes. What made this worse was the weather — it was extremely cold and windy due to the storm, but there was no consideration or flexibility shown. To add to this, when my friend politely asked to use the washroom before leaving, the staff refused, stating that it was only for customers. This felt unnecessarily rigid and lacking basic courtesy. Overall, the experience came across as unwelcoming and unprofessional. Hospitality is not just about serving food — it’s about how you treat people. Unfortunately, this place did not reflect the warmth and generosity typically associated with Indian or Asian hospitality. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving their customer service.”

  “I visited this restaurant in the center of Keswick recently and it was a deeply unfortunate experience. We ordered two of the special curries with naan, but the food was so terribly oily that half the plate was covered in grease. The naan was remarkably chewy and the biryani was a particular disappointment. It was little more than plain rice drenched in oil and heavy food coloring, lacking any of the authentic flavor one expects from real Indian cooking. The meal left my family and me feeling very poorly. We felt quite grotty afterward, which is a word used here to describe the physical regret that follows eating such a heavy and greasy meal. It is a shame that this restaurant occupies such a prominent spot where tourists are easily lured into a miserable trap. The environment was also very loud, making the experience even more unpleasant. This place does a great injustice to the healthy and authentic meals that Indian cuisine should be. It was, quite simply, terrible.”

  “Really disappointing experience. We were told to wait 35 minutes for a table of five, which we were completely fine with. However, the staff refused to let us wait inside even during extremely bad, windy weather (orange alert). They mentioned “hygiene” as the reason, but this didn’t feel justified. Many restaurants allow customers to wait inside without any issue, especially in unsafe weather conditions. Being made to stand outside like that showed a clear lack of basic hospitality. The way we were treated didn’t sit right with us and felt unfair. Overall, a very uncomfortable experience. Would not recommend.”
