Ordered through Just Eat. Ordered my usual of chicken korma, pilau rice and a Naan. I go on a regular basis, but tonight's food quality was awful it was full of MSG which I can't have, I'm usually ok with this meal. The chicken was full of gristle, and was tough. The portion was small and it had hardly any sauce and was very salty Has this place got new owners? You've just lost my custom

13 of us who arrived in the restaurant at around 8:30 and we ordered our food around 8:45-9:00. This was long after the other long table who long after we’d ordered still hadn’t got theirs! Only 2 hours after we first ordered did the plates arrive, only loot-warm. Only at 11:00pm did our food eventually reach the table: HALLELUJAH! No wonder it took so long: they only had 1 chef in the kitchen and 2 waiters (1 waitress). The chef even came out to serve the other long table! 1 chef to cover the orders for the customers in the restaurant and also takeaways (inc. Uber Eats and Just Eat) who was clearly overwhelmed under so much pressure. One of our ‘party’ has a hospitality background and complained, of which the staff were apologetic and nice over. How the food came out hot after all this time to me is a miracle, although it did get cold quickly. Another of our ‘party’ also found a hair in his meal, even though chef was wearing a chef hat; nonetheless is still disgusting. Never have I waited this long for food and I’m sure the same can be said for the rest of our squad. This length of wait - 2 hours - is & was unacceptable, with 2 large groups of people and only one other couple in what’s a small restaurant. The food taste and quality, not much wrong with. They kindly took money off the bill and rightly so for such dreadful service. None of us are in any rush to return again to this restaurant anytime in the future.

Absolutely cannot fault. Absolutely beautiful food. Amazing quality and taste. Been to lots of Indian’s and this is by far the best. Would recommend to anybody.

Ordered this weekend for a hefty price. Both the Korma & Tikka tasted of sweet coconut and nothing else. Sickly and clumpy with no spices. Sorry. ?

Visited here tonight the food was horrible and cold was sent back but then came back out worse... the man that wore the flat cap was to much in a rush and was apologising for everything .. would not recommend here at all

I've tried the food from most curry places in Chester, but City Spice is by far the best!! The food is delicious, always hot and full of flavour. I wouldn't get a curry anywhere else now. Highly recommended ?

Nice food. It was halal which was most important for us that's why we stayed here to eat but, the place is really not nice to look at, upstairs, where the toilets are, was really bad. Once of the waiter's, although very nice, didn't seem to understand us fully due to lack of English. Having said this, they were very accommodating to our needs and wants which was very nice. Couldn't see extra oils and fats which was great. Qeema naan I have to say was a huge let down, the mince was only in one corner of the naan bread rather than spread inside the entire naan bread. If I'm honest, I just tried to focus on the halal food rather than the place! Please do the place up and PLEASE, clean the carpet if not change it so customers don't get put off if they go to the loo's!!

Ordered a chicken madras from here. Realised the chicken wasn’t cooked. My boyfriend rang up for them to say they wouldn’t cook their chicken raw. Obvs not as it wasn’t cooked at all

Visited this restaurant last night. Food was okay. The place was filthy upstairs toilets where disgusting. We where Iver charged for the set meal as we where told that some items where not on the set meal, this should have been explained to us upon ordering. We ordered 2 cans of coke which where priced at £1.80 each in the menu to then find the m priced at £4.50 for 2 meaning they where £2.25 each and the cans stated multipack cans not to be some separately. When we complained about being over charged for the set meal they took £4.00 off the bill bit over all we where still over charged. The place was smelly and dirty I wouldn't go there again

A bit scruffy, could do with a makeover but the food is excellent.
Tasteless and of very poor quality in comparison to other Indian restaurants in the area. The waiter couldn’t answer our questions on food varieties as was new in post!

On mentioning the peculiar taste of the lamb We was told would you like more spice on it This place is filthy Dirty stairs Dirty toilets Absolute stinker of a place Instantly took the lamb of the bill and apologised for the moody lamb Popadoms were ok though Trip advisor need to do an independent review as I djust don’t know how anyone could say it was a good restaurant the place was filthy we wrote out name in the dust up the stairs Towards the toilets which I must add were also filthy

Good was fresh and delicious. Staff were very helpful and explained all the dishes. Would highly recommend. We had a takeaway from Gate of India restaurant next door the night before, which was awful. Highly recommend City Spice

Grim!Worst take away curry that I've EVER had the displeasure of bringing home.The chicken was tough and chewy... how do you even make chicken chewy??? My Naan bread has an odd fishy smell about it. You'd do well to avoid this place.I would honestly have an Asda "dingmeal" curry over this.
