This is the second time I've used this business. Delivery was on time and driver was friendly, the chicken balti was stodgy and the keema nan only had 5% meat in it. Sorry to say I ended up throwing half away. This is the first balti I've ever thrown in the bin.
enigma?
Just one of them I used to live opposite this place figured I would come back and get a authentic taste that I could remember.They food took good 35 mins from ordering and waiting Inside.The North Indian chilli garlic chicken was okay not too bad I asked for vindaloo hot more like a madras rhe heat just wasn't thereHardly any unique flavours just real cheap itemsThe chicken fried rice wasn't up to standards pretty sure they reheated the rice cause it was so dry and once again lacked anything I so massively appreciated back 9 years agoWon't be going back considering the whole 2 meals cost over 22 quid for the price I expect more ?

No wonder it was quite when the bill has increased nearly 50% in 5 months Poppadums up from 60p to £1 with no sauces, meat quality poor and rice isn’t even basmati… Keep clear

The basic menu should have indicated what we were about to experience. Whilst my sheek kebab was ok, my madras was clearly a curry that came out of a big pot. Something I had not experienced since the 1970’s. Unfortunately my partners meal was both scant in part (Tandoori King Prawn) with the Tarka Dall being inedible. Batchley Spice should hold there head in shame. We certainly will not be using this place again!

2nd time ordering. 2nd time disappointed. Won't be a 3rd one. I have peshwari naan. There was no flavour. No coconut or raisins/sultanas. Bottom of it felt hard. Gutted naan is the best bit. My lemon rice was hard. Won't be ordering again.

Family of 3, the worst curry we’ve ever had. Had a lamb tikka madras. It was a container of red coloured water that shloshed around like a bathtub, had to go deep sea diving to find my meat. Thought I’d add the keema rice to absorb it, big mistake, it was crunchy hard and tasteless. As for the keema naan, you was lucky if you had one chunk of keema in it. Could have made a better curry myself.

Used to be best curry house in redditch but order today was vile ordered tikka masala and the cream was off in both smelt and tasted like sick. They of course argued it wasn't but you could smell the bad cream and taste it, it was vile. They did to their credit send the whole meal out again with different curries but these wasn't really any better. Such a shame as used to be so good won't be going back.
What we have been waiting for since lockdown, other curry houses just don’t cut it. Normally use Batchley Spice through Just Eat and have been for around 4 years now. Just finished our order and there’s nothing to match the quality, taste or spice in Redditch. Called them this time (8 Mercot Close) and I was always stuck between a Madras and Vindaloo, one to hot other need a bit more so asked for a hotter chicken tikka madras just under Vindaloo strength. People that know there portions they are tough to finish, well I have just polished it right off. The mrs don’t like nothing but korma, first time she’s had a Bhuna and the same. Top top top top food!!!!! ?

Me an the missus wanted a movie night an a takeaway so we ordered from batchley spice........ The Mrs ordered a mild prawn balti which come hot as f. The paratha I ordered was meant to be a stuffed one that came an it basically was just thick doe.there was nothing stuffed in it. All in all not happy wiv the service I was offered replacements but as I had complained thought it would be safer if I just didnt

Had a couple of orders from here and usually its good. I never had a cause to complain before as food is normally hot and delivery quick. last time the chips was missing from the meal and the food arrived late. It was cold and had leaked all over the place. I called the restaurant about the chips. No refund available but promise of fresh chips. 30 minutes later once everyone had finished eating we had a knock at the door and a cold portion of greasy oily chips was delivered which went straight into the bin!. wont be going back for a while!

It's replaced the place we went to for 15 years over in Warwick, their quality went down and the drive was a pain when it was just take out anyway. Here the food is consistently good, it's a short walk for us with good parking if needed the food is also fresh and quick. We must have been 10-15 times by now, pretty much always ordering tikka and kurma mains with Peshawary or keema nahns which are well filled never burnt and really tasty.If your in the area it's a great place to grab some good food from.

Curry spilled out of the bag, when I phoned them they told me that "it's impossible to happen", which clearly it's not. The situation wasn't resolved, I got made to think that I was lying. We've been loyal customers for years, we will never be ordering from them again, which is a shame.
