Quick info
About Spice Obsession
On Lower Broughton Rd in Salford, Spice Obsession is a restaurant where curries are made from scratch to order and naan is prepared fresh, both in view of customers at the counter. The menu runs from biryani and a mixed starter to kebabs, pizzas, and curries, with kebab orders served with a side salad and sauces in small tubs. Seating and sofas are available for those waiting, an addition since the site's revamp from Broughton Balti to Spice Obsession, and the room now offers an eat-in option alongside its earlier takeaway format. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Delivery is also offered, with a wait time given at the point of order. A flower wall features in the décor.

Customer Review Summary
The biryani draws the most repeated praise, described by multiple diners as having plenty of meat and perfectly cooked rice, with one longtime Indian food eater calling it second to none. Close behind, reviewers highlight curries and naan made fresh to order, with several mentioning watching ingredients chopped and dough prepared in front of them, plus praise for the mixed starter and kebabs and pizzas. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, including help navigating an allergy, and the recent shift from Broughton Balti to Spice Obsession with new dine-in seating is noted as a positive change. Complaints are minor but real: one reviewer found the salad skimpy, missing tomato, chillies, cucumber or onions, while another described a seekh kebab as dry and poorly spiced with sauces they disliked, concluding they wouldn't recommend it. Several reviewers mention returning weekly or over years of regular ordering.

“2nd take away from here and it was consistently excellent. The guy told me half hour for delivery which was fine but it was delivered before the half hour. The mixed starter was amazing and the biriani was 2nd to none. Plenty of meat in it and the rice was perfect and very tasty. Would definitely recommend trying this place and I will definitely use again. Been eating indian food for 40 years even in India and Couldn't fault it. 5 star 💯”

“I had a seekh kebab for takeaway. Meat was dry and poorly spiced, didn't like sauces and naan bread was reheated to order. Don't recommend.”

“Been using this take away for 8 years the family that runs it are first rate and very friendly, The food is always amazing and their standard cooking is unquestionable. Granted they did change the name of the take away and redesigned its layout so that you can also dine in now if you wanted too. As I said an amazing choice of food”
