Spice Island

Had a delightful meal here tonight (Mar 2024). My starter, sweet ‘n’ spicy chilli chicken was sublime. Never had anything like it before. Crisp batter & moist chicken, gorgeous flavour, topped with sesame seeds. Beautiful garlic naan, rice & chicken tikka masala. Met with owner who was lovely. It’s changed hands & menu has some real gems plus traditional dishes. Thoroughly recommend them & thanks to the lovely staff who were so attentive. 5 stars all round.

We basically tried as many dishes as we could possibly eat and I can confirm everything tasted incredible! All of our starters were were delicious, the Sheek Kebab and the wrap were super tasty but for us the Chicken Chaat and the sweet and spicy chilli chicken was our favourite. Both dishes were so rich in flavor! 😋 We loved all of the curries we tried, on the milder spectrum the Mango Korma was lush and the butter chicken was lovely and creamy but both dishes had flavor most importantly. On a spicier note the Chicken Nargis and the Rajasthani Lamb Curry were both insane, both dishes were ridiculously good! The lamb curry just topped it, the lamb was so tender, honestly it was cooked perfectly. This is an absolute must visit! 👏
