The Spice Centre in West Dorset

Friendly people. Tired looking restaurant. £47 for two main courses, a rice, a naan, 4 popodoms, 1 portion of onion bhaji, 1 lemonade (£6!) and 1 magners. Very expensive in our opinion and the food was all very, very sweet.

Ordered from spice centre through deliveroo, our order arrived about 45 minutes later. We realised that our 2 pilau rice was missing, so I called them up straight away and they said they would send some out and it will be with us in 10-15. 30 minutes later still nothing had arrived so I called them back and they asked for my number and said they'd call me back in 5 minutes. 25 minutes later and we had no call from them so I called them back twice (could be just a coincidence) but they didn't answer either of my calls which was from the number I gave them and then when I called from my partners phone they asnwered. They offered to give us "free" food the following day but I refused and then they offered to refund the rice but I explained that I would want a full refund as our curry that we had left to eat with our rice was now cold so we wouldn't be eating that. They then offered to send out our full order again and it would arrive in 50 minutes time I asked for a discount as we ordered our food 2 hours ago and we have been waiting over and hour just for the rice they forgot. The they said they would give us some extra things instead... the order arrived just over an hour later with everything we originally ordered and payed for and the extra things they said they would give us for now waiting a total of about 3 hours was 2 cans on diet coke... absolutely rubbish.

Have just had one of the best Indian meals we've had in a very long time, excellent food and service, only other comment I have would be not to eat much before your Indian .

Beautiful food presentation! The restaurant interior is bit aged. Overall, a good place for Indian food.

I've had many curries from many counties as a great fan of Indian food.. I don't generally write reviews but I felt I had to.. for The Spice Centre in Dorch.This, for me is one of the best. The tandoori dishes have a real great Smokey flavour . I wouldn't be surprised if they have a clay Tandoor Excellent balance of spices on in the Pathia and the King Prawn Puri is we'll worth the money Friendly happy staff too so I highly recommend trying Thank you so .ich guys

Visited Spice Center Dorchester.It appears to be an old night club in urgent need of refurbishment. The large chandelier over the dance floor had most of the bulbs failed and was flickering - clearly some form of electrical fault.Started with Onion Bhaji. I would expected it to contain turmeric, ground cumin, chilli powder, green chillies, ginger, garlic and onions, however, what was served contained little spice if any.The curries were good and plentiful, I understand that the biriani was very good.Drinks were served with a glass and a bottle which you served yourself.The staff were pleasant and helpful and clearly rushed off their feet.The score is a reflection of the ambience, the Onion Bhaji's rather than the food and the overworked staff and my expectation of an electrical faliur.

Ate here Weds evening. Last eve of Covid eat out subsidy. They had rather overstretched themselves on the numbers they could cope with but the staff were all helpful and working really hard to keep up. We were glad we waited out the time, as the meal was really delicious. Wasn't sure about the 5 star because of the delay, but they did apologise very nicely and the circumstances were unusual.

Decent priced as we used a Groupon. Loved the starter vegetable and samosas - real crispy and lovely dips paired. The mains were a nice as well; loved 3 out of 4 but that’s more of a taste preference. Decent sized food. Would have loved larger prawns in the prawn curry as it was a pain to fish them out when we didn’t need the rest of the sauce. Staff are very friendly, offered high chair for the little one. they let us bring along a birthday cake for granny, even put candles in for us.

Quite honestly one of the best Indian cuisine Restaurants we have ever been in, we were the very first customers of the night (sunday) and we're still the only customers when we left, but a steady stream of walk in guests called to pick up their take-away meals, the food was definitely freshly cooked most especially the chicken tikka was so moist and fragrant I was very impressed by the whole experience and we were using a Groupon though did supplement it with a few sundries from the a-la-carte menu. I would recommend this restaurant if you like good friendly service of tasty and freshly cooked food. We are going again this week for our second visit.

Well what can I say about this restaurant. From the moment we entered the building, we were greeted with a very friendly manner. We were seated very quickly and our drink order taken. The waiter was very accommodating and friendly. The food is out of this world. We ordered several dishes and each one had defined flavours and textures. We are not local to the restaurant but we will certainly be returning.
