Was absolutely terrible service was horrendous the guy never understood anything we said he took our order for food and drinks we waited 1 hour and a half just for drinks and nearly 2 for food and the food came look warm completely different from what I had order and the portion sizes were a joke wouldn’t even feed a toddler plates came dirty and had to be sent back as were the glasses, over all a terrible place WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE the toilets had no lock and were very dirty

Really couldn't recommend more highly. The food is so delicious, varied, and authentic, the prices are right, the service quite gentlemanly, and the lovely lighting with harborside view divine.

Awful service, 3 hours for two courses, had to ask for the bill three times, food was average. Don’t bother wasting your precious time in Oban here.

Visited today with 2 friends. We were the only customers there. Arrived at 12.50 and were given special lunch menus describing both Indian and Chinese options. We were told by very polite waiter that only Indian version was available after one of us asked for a Chinese meal. We all ordered a starter and a main course. We had just started eating our starter when the main courses were brought to the table. They were cold by thetime we got round to eating them. Talk about feeling rushed, particularly when we were the only customers. Practically the minute we finished our main courses the bill was brought to our table. I think the chef wanted an early finish. To add insult to injury the waiter didn't even bring us our change back, it was only £3 odd but not right to just assume it was a tip We won't be back.

Lovely Indian Restaurant in the center of Oban, Scotland. Excellent service combined with stellar food and you have Spice World. Definitely a place we'd come to again if back in Oban. I recommend the Butter Chicken with a Cheese Naan. Freaking fantastic.

Had a delicious Naga Chicken here! Really tasty. Staff were great. Don’t understand the negative reviews… ignore them. Most have clearly never been to a remote Scottish town before!

We ate here last night and all left extremely happy after an enjoyable evening The food was outstanding the staff were friendly and informative making us feel most welcome. The complimentary coffees/drinks at the end of the evening were appreciated

First time here and very impressed. Inventive menu and everything we ordered was excellent, fresh and tasty. Liked the complementary drinks to finish :) but if they were trying to persuade us to leave a review then they didn't need to.
My husband and I visit Oban every year and we book to come to Spice World every time. The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The first floor location also has great views of the sunset over the harbour. We’ve just had another fantastic mean and we’ll be back next year too all being well!

Drove over from Glencoe area thinking we’d try some Thai food. We knew restaurant hours for lunch were 12-2. We arrived exactly at 1:30 which should have been plenty of time to order a quick lunch and be out the door. Restaurant was completely empty and servers stood around looking at us. Finally, they said “ we just closed”. I look at my watch which said exactly 1:30 and tapped it as a gesture to server with a long drawn out pause”Okay..,,”. They didn’t say so sorry we closed early they just clearly didn’t want to make an effort. We left, found another place that would serve us. We read the reviews about poor customer service and realized we probably dodged a bullet on this place. Too inconsistent with quality or service to waste our time or money.

Lovely view, food fabulous!! Portions good! Service can be a little slow, but it’s only slow if your in a rush. Would definitely go back.

Today, I faced a situation. When I reached the hotel, they said it is already closed, and only takeaway is available. But at the same time, they have provided seats for localite. Deeply dissatisfied ??
