Delicious food and great service. We went for a takeaway and the service was excellent. One of our party is vegan and they understood well, and were honest about what they knew was vegan and what they couldn’t guarantee (some foods are bought in). The food was delicious, more than meeting expectations.

Cosy little gem of a restaurant with only 24 covers but well worth a visit. Excellent Indian food, well priced.

It may not be flashy like others but you are assured a very warm welcome, very good quality food with decent portion sizes beautifully cooked and served with a sincere smile.

The spice house is my parents favourite restaurant and is always the place we choose to go to eat together for family gatherings and celebrations. Food is always delicious and staff really lovely and welcoming. Free corkage too if you sit in which is a great bonus. Lots of delicious veggie options too. I would highly recommend!

My husband and I have been dining here for many years now and despite having moved to Perthshire it’s still our favourite Indian restaurant and we meet friends for dinner here regularly. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is always good. I always try a little bit of everything at the table and as always it was all yummy. My choices were so tasty that I took home a doggy bag of everything I couldn’t finish on the night and had it for lunch the next day. Can’t wait to go back.

Five of us met for a meal here tonight. Service was faultless from start to finish. Food was absolutely top class from the first popadoms, through all the starters to every main and each side dish. Definitely the best Indian food we know of anywhere in the UK. Cant recommend it highly enough. Love the pictures on the wall but could you put the one of Paris back up please ;)

Food was ok, but I ordered the Thai sweet and sour and I swear it was out a jar! Tasted like the sharwoods I cheat with at home!!!! Jasmine sticky rice wasn’t sticky at all, just boiled! First time here and won’t be in a hurry to go back!
Ordered food online. Pakoras and Chicken Tikka main were 2 of the dishes on the orders despite it stating clearly salad was included with these no salad was provided. Peshwari nan ordered plain nan was in the order instead. I phoned to complain and the man who answered the phone would hardly let me explain the issue. I had asled to speak to a manager but the man decided he could "help" instead! It was a busy night was the excuse used several times. That is understandable but surely phoning the customer (I added a mobile number to the order) to inform them of things which were out of stock would have been a far nicer approach. Its not the first instance things have been missing from our order. I wonder if this place has changed owners as there is a dont care approach now of just give the customer what you want and not what they ordered. Dont forget customers pay your wages so treating them badly isnt such a great idea! I tried to send an email but for some reason it did not get there despite the email address being correct. If you dont have an email address dont advertise that you do on your website! Isnt it strange the order system works though? I will be telling my friends and family of my experiences and wont be back as the customer service here is very bad. There are many other takeaways/restaurants who do appreciate our custom and sadly this is not one. I had hoped this would be resolved and I wouldnt have to inform other potential diners on here. It is only fair now they are made aware before they waste their money aswell. Go elsewhere folks.

I’m embarrassed to say that this is my first visit to Spice House after almost 40 years of living in Penicuik. It won’t be my last. The food was superb and the service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant isn’t posh, but it’s light and cheery. I had the best Sag Paneer that I’ve ever had and my lady had a very fine prawn Pad Thai. He was also happy to let me have two veggie side dishes instead of a single main course. BYOB made it a very cost-effective evening out and we were home on a 37 bus in 15 mins. Highly recommended for an informal, high-quality Indian/Thai meal in a cosy, local setting.
