Spice Library

This restaurant has a vast menu that you might typically find at a British curry house, including a wide range of starters, Tandoori, curries, traditional and a signature collection, sides and a decent Vegetarian selection. The price range here is reasonable and around what you would expect at a similar Indian Restaurant with curries averaging around the £9/10 mark, therefore their Sunday & Wednesday offer is definitely value for money. We enjoyed some delicious food including; Onion Bhajis – 3 decent sized Bhajis. Mixed Kebab – all great, the Sheek kebab especially, with a decent hint of spice. Spice Library Special; mouth-watering spicy curry consisting of lamb tikka, tandoori chicken off the bone, chicken tikka and meatballs all cooked to perfection in a spicy sauce. “Medium to Hot” – in Ben’s opinion (someone who does like very spicy food and has a fairly high tolerance) said this wasn’t spicy BUT that it was really tasty and the meat was very tender. The meatballs in particular were really good. Keema India; Mixed keema, chicken tikka and potatoes cooked together with green chillies. Medium – a really yummy curry with big chunks of meat and potato. Very filling. Goa Green Chicken Curry – the greenest curry I’ve ever seen!! But went down really well. Chicken Passanda; Chicken tikka cooked in a sweet creamy dish made with coconut flour, cream, sugar and mango sauce – a mild but flavoursome dish. The Garlic and Peshawari Naan breads were lovely to scoop up the saucy curries. The atmosphere here is decent and the service was also good. We enjoyed our visit as a group of two couples on a Sunday evening, and the place filled up with families, including children, and friends alike which was great to see. This restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday evenings, and there is parking nearby. For takeaways, you can order direct from Spice Library’s website with 10% off all collections, or via FoodHub.

The onion bhajis are the best I've ever had and that goes for the popadoms too. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The food generally is awesome and a pleasure to eat. Unfortunately access is via a lot of steep steps Which I found difficult. Younger able bodied people should manage quite well. The music was very loud but the place is very popular, all tables were full within the hour and the general noise drowned out the music :-)

It’s my first time eating at Spice Library and I must say that the food here is 10/10 with there flavoursome dishes as the name of the place states. The staff here are also very polite and they immediately tend to the customers when they are summoned. The coffee and tea here is also great as they serve it according to how you want it. Overall I will give the business 5 stars but it is a shame that I do not have the option to give anymore than that.
