About Rice & Spice
Rice & Spice is an Indian takeaway on Centurion Way in Leicester, serving halal food that is made fresh. Chicken biryani is served on Fridays, alongside chicken curry and rice and meatballs on the menu. Parking is easy for lorries, which gives drivers on the M1 a place to stop and collect a meal. Orders are made for collection, so customers wait for their food. A waiting area is available, and the owners run the takeaway as a family business.

Customer Review Summary
Biryani is the draw, and several reviewers call it the best they have eaten. One says they don't normally enjoy rice, and another says it had their mum reconsidering her own recipe. Chicken biryani gets the most specific praise, and one regular singles out the Friday biryani, which colleagues loved too. Close behind is value, with reviewers describing the prices as excellent and good. Rice and meatballs is called really nice, and one diner plans to try the chicken curry next time. Lorry drivers and motorists passing through make up a good share of the praise, with one saying it is worth a detour from the M1 and far better than a service station. Reviewers describe the staff as helpful, nice and chatty, and mention a great waiting area, with one saying the conversation while waiting is as good as the food. One diner returned after three years, and another, tired of eating fast food every day, drove on to check it was still trading and was glad they did.
