Disgusting Madras. New to the area and shocked at what they are trying to pass of as Indian cuisine here. Couldn't pay me to eat here again. Even the chips tasted

We had a lovely meal at Bowburn Spice - its appearance is misleading from the outside as it’s bigger than it looks. We couldn’t have been made more welcome, the hospitality was second to none! The food did not disappoint and we were treated to some delicious cuisine. Would definitely return - thanks Bowburn Spice!

Walk in to take away. Staff do cleaning even no customer. The shop was cleaning and tidy. Friendly staff which entertain all questions as i'm first timer. Ordered briyani lamb and kebab. Credit to briyani, large portion (i can share with my wife and 1 kids). The taste also good.Dietary restrictions: Served vegetarian and halal foods

Heard nothing but good review, but fairly disappointed. Food was okay, lacking spices and small portions. Staff were friendly and decco nice.

Where to start, the worst Indian I have ever had.The foot was overcooked mush, onion Bhaji was mushy inside and nothing like a bhaji, the tikka was like water with not much chicken, rice overcooked. The peshwari nan was tasteless. Very poor will not buy from here again!

Great food and delivered quickly. My curry was nicely spicy but still wonderfully flavoured.Vegetarian options: Broadly just veggie curry and paneer, pretty much what you'd expect, tasty though.
Having been new to the area you normally have to go to a few takeaways to find the best one. However in this instance the Bowburn Spice was fantastic. Service was excellent and the quality was fantastic. We will definitely be back for our next Indian........ Thank you very much.... Two full bellies here

In the past Bowburn had one of the best Indian restaurants in Durham. It went downhill and I was so hopeful that things would be better now it was under new management, but it is no better. The first issue I had with the tandoori chicken. The taste of the spices was so subtle it was almost non-existent. Not a great start. Main courses were also severely lacking in spice. Is the squeeze so bad that you need to cut back on spices? Chicken wasn't cooked into the main dishes. While I understand that meat will be cooked in advance, I should be able to taste the sauce in the chicken. This sort of lazy cooking is something that should be avoided. The coconut rice was boiled rice with dessicated coconut sprinkled on top. Again, very lazy cooking, The saving grace was the poppadoms and naan bread, hence why you avoided a one-star review. It's such a shame, and it left us severely disappointed. Won't be going back unless they greatly improve.
