It was a quiet Monday evening at The Spice Club Cockermouth and the staff were very welcoming upon our arrival. The restaurant looked very clean and nicely laid out. Drinks were quick to arrive, probably because we were the only 2 in there at opening time 🤭 A brilliant menu with a great choice of starters and mains. The Garlic Mushrooms were delicious and perfect. The Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala were perfect, just the right portion size and couldn’t fault it. Happy with the price and would definitely recommend The Spice Club.
The food was fantastic, one of the best Indian meals we have had.
Everything tasted fresh and you could taste all the spices.
We will definitely be back if we are working in the area.
Well I said I would return and I have. Oct 2023.
Spice Club has not disappointed at all.
The popadoms are light and fresh and the pickle tray was also good.
I had a fish dish which was fantastic. Plenty of fish and you could taste all the herbs, and it was slightly warm on the seasoning side, yummy.
It is nice to return somewhere and it be as good as the last time. No one trip ponies here.
Thank you Abdul, for making me feel so welcome.
If you find my review useful, just follow me as I have plenty more.
We just walked in without booking abut at 5:30pm, but we got a table for 4. Thanks for that for the staff. For me staffs were ok, but not so friendly. Of course they came and asked us about food ....etc. so was not any problem.
Food looked very nice, it was an ok service. But was strange a bit that it seemed they did first the take away customers and just after the 'sit in' customers? 🤔We waited for our food at least 40mins and we were the first customers there - literally. We saw that people arrived for take away they got it but nothing for us, just drink. Coke arrived later after we asked it again they brought the drinks, but at first they forgot to tell us that: 'sorry the coke will come just later as we have to fill the mashine' or something. So my friend got her coke maybe after 20mins. Luckily she was not so thirsty. 😁
Toilette was very clean, and the restaurant everywhere was very clean. Lots of tables inside, no outside sitting, and i don't think so that is dog friendly.
You can really see on the photos that food looked super, no complaining at all. I am not an 'indian food fan', so i can not tell you how amazing was it, for me nothing super (not so tasty, was not taste buds, flavor bomb or nothing waaauuu if you understand me) meat was chunky, thick in my food but maybe it is normal and some part a bit chewy. For my friends, it was enough good.
But i liked how our food looked. So sure that first i was fine because of the sight of the food. So thank you for that. 😁
I did not drink any alcohol now, they have variety of wines, i think price is same as everywhere else. Food price exactly the same, i think mine was £14, and i had my food with lamb.
We saw that a lot of people arrived for take away and came to eat in restaurant too, so i am quite sure it is a very popular place in Cockermouth.
Compare to Keswick Lakeland Spice (i think the owner is same) i would say i liked food better in Keswick - the taste was somehow different. But this is just my unexperienced opinion and i ate there just once. I say it worth a try if you like indian food.
Great Indian based in the town of cockermouth. Generous portions. Lovely walk in and out of the town that took 15 minutes from the premier inn walking on the main road in.
Came in here for an Indian meal, place was really busy, one table seemed a little loud and drunk, so I asked to move and they got me a table in a quieter part of the restaurant. Staff were polite, service was quick, prices are reasonable for this area and there was parking right outside. The food was okay, not bad for a place that dosnt have an local asian population, but the aloo chaat came hot with a sweet flavour, when chaat is supposed to be a cold dish with a combination of sweet, sour and spiced flavours...... not a bad effort and I would visit again though.....
Spice Club is an attractively decorated restaurant with an extensive menu. It's "Cash only", which required a quick dash to the cash-point, and limited options for vegetarians and vegans, but enough that I was able to make a choice. My waiter immediately understood what I meant by "vegan" and was confident to advise me. I had the choice of most of the vegetable options within the "classic" dishes section. My food was beautifully spiced and such a generous portion I had to take some home!
The meal here was absolutely amazing we would highly recommend so tasty and authentic
Really enjoyed the meals we had. One of the older waiters seemed grumpy. We were told they take card payment, when it came time to pay, we was told cash only, as card machine was not working, so we left no tip, reason being is your undeclared tax saving was it!
Thank you for a lovely meal Bhai. We really enjoyed your company. It was nice seeing you unexpectedly. It was quite a coincidence. Thanks again and hopefully we’ll meet again.

The service was quick and staff were attentive. Will definitely go back here if I return to the area.
