We decided to give it a try .when walking in we was greater with a very unpleasant view of a badly kept fishtank which was not pleasant to see .we were seated food didn't take long .was disappointed that food was not in bowls that were hot .plates to was not hot .price of food was more expensive than I think it should have been especially because the food was disappointed. Onion bhaji we were told that they are served as 3-4 it was a very disappointing 1 that was cut up and very disappointing flavours with the food .

Amazing little place - hidden away in a little corner of broad stairs The curries were simply fantastic Ordered the chicken biryani and lamb jalfrezi with garlic Nan and Pilau rice. This is a lovely family run business and you can see the extra care they give out with the service ! Owner Bobby was always smiling and courteous and the waiter Monoy Miah was great in meeting our needs. This was not too far from the lovely beach surroundings and you can’t beat a lovely curry on a great summers day Will definitely return ! And shout out to head chef Ali ! Great spices and flavours ! Keep up the great work!

Was one of the best Indians over a couple of months ago but I’ve noticed recently it’s gone down hill. Doesn’t taste the same or have the same flavours it did before. Not impressed if I’m honest so I will be finding a new Indian. Such a shame!

We all loved the food and all had something different. My Murgh Masala was so tender and tasty and I chose the mushroom rice and a garlic naan. I cannot fault the food.The service was friendly and homely and although the restaurant is not one you might think of, it is well worth a trip and you save ££ with the drinks being excluded from the bill - as it's bring your own!

I asked the restaurant "why can't I find a hot madras? They're all tasteless." Spice Cottage promised me a REAL Madras. Best Curry I've tasted in months if not years. Thanks Spice Cottage. It was delicious.

Booked for four Sunday 7pm, arrived on time. Every thing, puppadoms, 2 starters, and mains seemed to arrive to quickly ( no breaving space) which lead me to question preperation and cooking times??? We were all out by 8.05.
Lovely meal. Fantastic tasty meal. Very friendly and quick service thankyou.

Have visited the restaurant a few times now, but this is the first review I’ve written about it. The restaurant operates a Bring Your Own Booze (no corkage charge) policy. Food was really amazing, flavourful and delicious. I had Chicken Kashmiri, my wife had Prawn Biriani, we were both very happy with our choices. We dined a little early, 5pm so the restaurant wasn’t busy, we had a very nice chat with the owner/manager. Can’t fault the food or service, the decor is a little aged, but I really wouldn’t allow the appearance to put you off as the food more than makes up for it.

First time visiting here No-one explained when booking over the phone that it is BYOB so it was very disappointing to have a meal without any alcohol ! This should be pointed out when booking so that you know to bring booze. The interior is very dark with dark walls (which are dirty), black tables and black chair covers. Felt like being in a dark (and dirty) cave. Tables didn’t have any table cloths and there were no napkins on tables. Looks like they were trying to save money in all aspects. The music playing was a woman screeching loudly (continually) which was not exactly enjoyable. The waitress was rushing us to make an order even though we had barely sat down and it wasn’t even busy which was annoying. You can hear all noises from the kitchen which often included the ‘bing’ of the microwave! Another downside was that at one point we were the only ones in the restaurant and then a table of four walked in and were placed on the table right next to us (tables are all crammed in and are about 3” apart). They had all the other free tables they could have sat them at! After that I could hear every word of the table next to us because the place was empty and it put us off our meal. Thankfully the food portions were good and the food was quite good (even if microwaved). It was also overpriced compared to other indians that we go to nearby. Won’t return

First time visit to the restaurant. What a gem it is!! We will be back many times now that we’ve found it. The food and service were both first class! Everything about the food was excellent quality, with very well balanced spices. My king prawn dish was a particular highlight for me, with more prawns than is usual, but also great quality, in a delicate Methi sauce. Add their policy of BYOB, with an incredibly modest £2 corkage, there is no wonder that this delight of a restaurant is incredibly popular with the locals!
