Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the curries themselves, with good portion sizes and distinct flavour in each dish, from the Chicken Tikka Bhuna and Chicken Tikka Dhansak to Saag Aloo, paratha and onion bhajis. Close behind, a mixed kebab starter and a lamb dish recommended by the waiter get singled out, and one diner notes that nothing tasted the same. Several found takeaway and dine-in equally good, and a few call the prices very reasonable. Service is described as friendly and welcoming, including a greeting at the door from the owner and a team that handled a large staff Christmas party without fuss. The criticisms are narrow. A party of twenty had wrong dishes arrive and a couple of items forgotten, though it was sorted out reasonably quickly. One longtime customer says the food had become generic before a recent takeaway won them back. One family finished with a hot towel, a chocolate and a lollypop for the children.

“Decided to place an order for collection as I've never been. I like to see where I'm ordering from, especially if it's a first time. Really happy I did, lovely area. The establishment was also very nice. Greeted at the door by the owner. Such a friendly man, made us feel very welcomed. Loved his playlist Spotify too. Ordered Chicken Tikka Bhuna, Chicken Tikka Dhansak, 1 plain rice, 1 pilau rice, Saag Aloo, Paratha, and portion of Onions Bhaji's. Food took about 25mins to come out. Honestly one of the nicest curry houses I've tried in years. Good portion sizes. Really nice flavor from all dishes. Nothing tasted the same. Very reasonable price as total cost was under £40 Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a nice curry”

“went in with a large party of twenty. the food was really tasty and the service was friendly. a few mixups with wrong food coming out and a couple of things forgotten: this was sorted out reasonably quickly and no major harm done, but wasnt ideal”

“I must preface by saying we used to use this restaurant as a last resort, in fact about a year ago, we stopped as the food had become so generic. BUT, having reluctantly ordered a takeaway in desperation, just after Xmas, WHAT a difference! Food pops, large portions, steaming hot and full of that unique umami, only obtained by a Chef with talent and fresh ingrediants! We have had 3 meals since, all brilliant! I am a convert!🥂👍🏼”

“We have had a takeaway and a dine-in meal at New Hanney Spice…….both were excellent. Having been accustomed to the Balti district in Birmingham for many years, this has been an amazing find! We will tell friends and also visit more frequently.”
