Reviews Overview
Most Liked
One of the standout aspects of Delhi Spice is the exceptional food quality; customers frequently rave about the flavorful curries that manage to be both rich and perfectly spiced. The lamb dishes, particularly the Lamb Nihari, draw enthusiastic praise for their tenderness and unique flavor profiles. Poppadoms served with homemade chutneys always hit the spot and serve as a delightful start to any meal. Guests also appreciate the casual yet vibrant atmosphere, making it a great spot for both relaxed dinners and lively gatherings.
Another highlight is the thoughtful service, characterized by friendly staff who provide attentive and professional service without being intrusive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Many return due to the reasonable pricing, which surprises diners given the quality of the dishes.
Most Disliked
While most guests leave Delhi Spice satisfied, some have pointed out the need for reservation, especially during peak hours, which can lead to long wait times. This can be a challenge for diners hoping for a spontaneous meal. Additionally, a few patrons have remarked that certain dishes might be on the milder side for those who prefer a more intense spice level, although customization is often available upon request.
Another area for improvement is the limited dessert options; while the Biscoff cheesecake and kulfis receive high praise, some diners hope to see more variety on the dessert menu to sweeten the experience.

I enjoyed an impromptu meal with my daughter while charging my ev in the car park behind. The meal began with poppadoms with condiments which were well received. We then had two curries and rice, both cooked well and not overly spicy. The staff member serving was professional throughout.

Visited for my Nan’s birthday and the food was great, the blonde lady serving us was so lovely and friendly as well (sorry I didn’t catch her name!), we all really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back! Lots of flavour in the curries, the portions were fair and the prices were better than expected, very happy.

Faultless. Lamb Nahari is a favourite after trying many others.... too many dishes to review individually, all excellent. Great service, fantastic food. 5*

Not been here in a long time, what a fabulous place the staff were polite and not pushy like some other places are, the food was epic the fish starter was so tender, and my main spicy lamb, was one of the best curry’s I’ve had in long time, It was about as spicy as a madras is but full of flavours, Nan breads cooked perfect and so are the popperdoms not greasy and nice and thin/crispy, also the cocktails are very nice to, We will be visiting here again soon.🍻👍

Tried Delhi Spice around 6 weeks ago. My friend and I play snooker once a week in Earl Shilton and always grab something to take home as a weekly treat. Based on their reviews I recommended to him trying here and we were not disappointed! The lady at the desk was friendly, smiley and very attentive. The food was cooked quickly and perfectly. Portions were very generous compared to other local takeaways! I've recommended them to friends and family members who have also converted to Delhi Spice after having similar experiences. I'd highly suggest to going in yourself, ordering, and having a freshly pulled pint of cobra while you wait or sitting in within their restaurant! delivery is also an option. Highly recommend!
