Sea Spice in Suffolk Coastal

Whoever owns/manages this place has extreme delusions of grandeur. The starters were embarrassingly bad; the paneer had less flavour than a grilled piece of halloumi, the Bhajis were dry and greasy, the cauliflower tasted like it came out of a hospital ward and the seekh kebab was anaemic. Its disgraceful to think that these 3 miserly pieces of what appeared to be microwaved or reheated seekh kebab were charged at nine pound a portion. The only glimmer of meal that my meal had were the mains, the chicken curry was tasty, however the portion was far too small and the chicken wasn’t moist, it was rather tough and chewy to the bite. It definitely wasn’t worthy of its sixteen pound price tag. The only part of the meal I can’t fault were the cocktails. They were exceptional and fully justified their price tag. Our booking for the table was booked in advance for ten people, upon arriving at the restaurant we were told to sit in two separate booths. After explaining to the waiter that the booking was made for my grandmothers birthday the servers joined four tables for parties of two together half heartedly and instructed people in my group to sit on the end of the long table they had made for us. The table felt extremely crammed to eat on and wasn’t a comfortable dining experience. Throughout no point in the evening were we asked how our meal was by a server. The manager of the restaurant seriously need to reevaluate their vocation as they quite clearly lack the ability to run a commendable service. No I would not recommend this restaurant. One star is for the food being eddible, another for the taste of the curry, and lastly one for the cocktails. No stars awarded for the quality or value for money and likewise for the attentiveness and consideration of the staff that overbooked the restaurant and didn’t take proper care of us despite the fact our party of ten brought in four hundred pounds for them that evening.

The restaurant looks very good and the service was excellent, but the food was not at a good standard. The scallops were ruined, the tandoori chicken way below our local takeaway standard and the chicken tikka Marsalla not a good sauce and the chicken served in huge lumps and looked as well as tasted unappetizing. The peshwari nan and Lamb Samosa’s however were excellent.We have eaten India Food all over the world including the far reaches of India. This was the 2nd worst we have ever had. The worst being Newport New England.

Despite the reviews my husband and myself decided to order a takeaway.We were pleasantly surprised.To me this seems like an authentic Indian Restaurant.The meat was of a good quality and quantity. The service was pleasant on the telephone and when collected.If you want a delicious takeaway I'd recommend.

Third time that we have dined here and have never been disappointed. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. One of the best Indian restaurants I have experienced. Highly recommended.

We called on Saturday for a takeaway but they were too busy so weren’t doing them, so had on on Sunday instead (to which we thought: ah great that shows they’re priority is quality not quantity). The only think we can imagine is that the head chef was nit working, because the food was worse than your average takeaway. We were sooo excited to try the muntjac vindaloo, expecting to get the milk out the fridge, and whilst the meat was nice and soft, the curry sauce had very little flavour and certainly zero spice. In fact the samosa was spicier. The butter chicken.. usually a safe choice.. tasted just like Heinz cream of tomato soup. The pilau rice may as well have been from Tesco.The mushroom dish was actually quite nice, but that was about it. The rest was bland and average. Such a shame especially given all the good reviews.

Loved this place. We started with a mosaic IPA and a generously poured Old Fashioned. The starters of lamb seekh kebab and paneer were good, though could have used a bit of side salad and more seasoning on the paneer. But the mains were a highlight. Highly recommended the fish curry and saag aloo. Couldn't finish it all so took it home. Lovely stuff. Pricey, but worth it for the lovely surroundings.

The place was so nice. We have ordered Lamb biriyani, King prawns, Chicken korma, vegetable samosa and steamed rice. Thr biriyani had authentic Indian flavour(more south indian) with accurate amount of spices and the taste were exactly matching the indian style of food. The lamb pieces were properly boiled in biriyani. Chicken Korma has good amount of spiciness. If you wanna try authentic Indian food this place is a go and they do have better taste Compared to the Indian restaurants in UK.

AMAZING! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and most importantly amazing staff! Special shout out to Amy, we have been here four times in the last six months and every time have had such a good experience.Having missed out on our tenth wedding anniversary (and my parents 60th) in 2020, we couldn't wait to make up for it, returning to the same place we tied the knot - albeit a different offering now - and we couldn't have wished for a better evening. Amy was so attentive, and the complimentary bubbles when we were shown to our table was an extra nice touch and really made our night that much more special.As I say, have been four times in the last six months or so and everything has always been consistent for us - I would highly recommend Sea Spice if you want something a little bit more special than your average Indian Restaurant, because it is way above that!

Very average curry, but in a nice place, so it's over-priced to suit the setting. Family of 5 with two eating off the kid's menu and it was £100. My fish curry was not as nice as I'd hoped a £13 dish would be. The fish didn't seem fresh, which is surprising for a place which is on the beach next to where the fishermen sell their catch each day

One of the best Indians I have ever eaten lobster starter for myself massive king prawn specials main special gluten-free pancake for starters for my partner and and to really big bits of of tandoori chicken for her name absolutely excellent and highly recommend would not hesitate to go back
